The era of American comics begins

Chapter 161 Darkness Falls ([-]rd)
A pitch-black beam of light rose from the ground, rushing straight into the sky from the roof of the building.The majestic energy tore the sky open, as if someone was tearing it apart along the four corners of the gap.A powerful airflow is released from it, and the huge gravity pulls everything on the ground up into the sky.Trees on the side of the road were uprooted, light cars floated up like balloons, and the roofs of buildings were lifted.With the black beam of light as the center, everything within a radius of three to forty meters is being drawn into the black hole in the sky.

The vortex is still expanding, and its scope of influence is also increasing.There is a piece of chaos hidden in that gap, thick darkness hides in it, as if a pair of eyes full of evil spirits are looking out at the world through the gap, ready to open their bloody mouth at any time to destroy this fragile planet. swallowed.

Doctor Strange led a group of mages to the street directly below the black hole, facing Casillas and his followers.Pedestrians fled chaotically like panicked animals in a forest fire. Cars drove wildly all over the street. From time to time, vehicles collided and were caught by gravity and flew away from the ground and flew towards the black hole.Trees and lampposts were pulled from the ground and buildings collapsed.The mages of black and white stood in the middle of the street with weapons in hand, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder on the eve of the decisive battle.

"So," Casillas looked at Doctor Strange standing at the forefront of the enemy line, "you are the chosen successor of the old man?"

Doctor Strange made seals, his hands were staggered and he posed in a stance, his left fist was in front of him and his right fist was in the back, each forming a magic circle.

"Dormammu is using you, you are just his pawns, and soon you will lose value to him." Doctor Strange said, "It's not too late to turn around now. Together, we can stop this."

Casillas shook his head: "It's too late, no one can stop it. The world is about to fall into darkness. Besides," his eye circles were dark, and his pupils seemed to be a pool of water stained black with ink, "why should I stop it?"

Doctor Strange tilted his head: "Well, I think so."

The formations on both sides began to step forward towards each other, at first they were walking, then they turned into trots, and finally all the mages on both sides sprinted into the enemy formation at full speed.People from both sides collided fiercely, and all mages began to fight each other, and in the blink of an eye, someone began to fall.

Doctor Strange and Mordo surrounded Casillas.Casillas is holding an invisible air weapon, Doctor Strange is holding a double shield, and Mordo is holding the magic weapon "Vatum's Staff".Casillas has one against two, but still has the upper hand.

"My master, Dormammu, is coming!"

Casillas swung his blade quickly and incoherently, and the invisible offensive forced the two of them to be overwhelmed. The magic weapon kept rubbing sparks with the weapon hidden in the air.

"But what about you? Your sanctuary is full of devastation, your manpower is severely damaged, and your strength is far from ours. And even the only old immortal you can rely on, the Supreme Mage, has fallen."

Casillas' voice became louder and louder, and his moves became faster and more fierce.

"Look what you have left? Why do you fight us?"

He raised his hand and slashed fiercely, and Doctor Strange pulled out both shields and held them above his head.Sparks rained down from his shield, and his arms were numb from the invisible blade.

Doctor Strange gritted his teeth and responded, "We still have hope."

On the street downstairs, the mages of both sides were fighting fiercely.Victor von Doom stood alone on the roof, facing his newly built machine, watching the soaring black energy shoot into the sky from its center like a cannon.This doomsday scene was reflected in his pupils, and his expression was as firm and cold as the steel mask he was wearing.

The blue pulsing beam swept past him abruptly, and hit the running device with a bang.The roaring engine suddenly shut down, the black light beam stopped spraying, and the machine stopped making any sound.The expansion rate of the black hole in the sky seems to have slowed down a little because of this, but the signs of expansion have not stopped.

"It's impossible to be stopped." Doom didn't turn his head, still looking at the sky, as if he wasn't surprised at all.He said to himself, "The door has been opened, and the two dimensions have been connected. Now even if he relies on Dormammu himself, he can open this door, and he will come soon."

At some point, the black-golden armor silently appeared on the roof, standing behind him with his right palm raised.

The built-in computer has started a new scan of Dum since he landed, and the result that pops up on the screen shows that the level of magic power on Dum's body is about four times stronger than that of the last fight, even at this moment. continues to grow at an alarming rate.

Michael speculates that it may be because Dormammu is getting closer and closer to this dimension, so the believers who use his power as a source are also getting stronger.

"So when he's here, what's your plan?" Michael asked.

Doom slowly turned around and met his gaze: "The plan is that I will defeat him. It is true that the earth will be plunged into eternal darkness, but that new dark dimension will be ruled by me. So far Dormammu I have completed his mission, and I will not need him in the future."

"You think you can beat him?"

"Dom can defeat anyone now." A dark light flashed in Doom's eyes behind the mask, and magic power overflowed from the corners of his eyes, "Dormam just gave me a channel to draw power from the dark dimension, but this But the power does not come from himself. In the final analysis, he is just drawing inexhaustible power from that dimension. After he drags the earth into the boundless darkness, it is still uncertain who is stronger and who is weaker."

What Dum said is true. The power of the dark dimension does not come from Dormammu. After all, this evil god is just a user of its power.But the problem is that this evil god has been absorbing and controlling this dark power for a long time that cannot be traced back, so it is so powerful that it can be called a "god".Doom wants to beat the opponent according to the rules of the game in Dormammu's game field. This possibility cannot be said to exist, but it is almost negligible.

Normally speaking, it is impossible for Doom to miss it.One explanation might be that he is now overwhelmed by the power of darkness, another explanation might be that Dormammu is deliberately influencing his thinking to induce him to think so, because Victor von Doom is a helpless A person who will never give in even if he is bribed, only in this way can he willingly help Dormammu realize his wish to come to Earth.

"Don't get in the way again, Michael." Dum said coldly, "When I defeat Dormammu and become the new god of the dark dimension, at least I can guarantee that I won't come to make things difficult for you."

"To the extent that you still remember our friendship, to be honest, I am very touched, Victor." Michael said calmly, raising his finger to his head, "But I promised you that I would save you from the darkness." , and promised to help you save your mother. You see, I am not a person who likes to promise casually. But once it is something I promised, I don’t like to go back on it.”
