“How are we going to meet Nightmare?” Thor looked at the distorted surroundings and turned to Strange beside him.

“Under normal circumstances, Nightmare needs to actively lead you into a dream, and then you may be able to see him. But given that we are using unconventional methods to enter, we may need a little trick.” Strange began to mobilize the energy of the Nightmare Dimension in a skilled manner.

“Is this okay?” Thor’s eyes widened as he watched Strange constantly stirring the surrounding energy.

“Yes, this is fine. I believe he will come over soon. If he is indeed the lord of the Nightmare Dimension.” Strange put down his hand and nervously adjusted the Time-Loop Closure Chain on his wrist.

Before coming, he had also asked the Ancient One how to meet Nightmare. The Ancient One did not hide anything and taught him this magical technique, which was not recorded in the internal books of the library, in detail.

Judging from the effect of the spell, this should be a treasured technique of the Ancient One.

After Strange understood the key to it, he felt a little numb.

As the Ancient One said, the method to meet Nightmare is very simple: directly use this spell to forcibly extract and convert energy in his dimension, and Nightmare will definitely appear.

Strange couldn’t remember what kind of complex emotions he had when he heard this method at the time. It’s like you went to someone else’s house to steal their valuables, and you haven’t even hidden yourself, but actively exposed yourself under the owner’s security system, then he will definitely rush over in a hurry.

Strange wanted to ask: Is there a safer way to meet that doesn’t stimulate the owner so much? However, after the Ancient One taught him, she simply sent him back to Kamar-Taj with a mobile portal.

If there were other better and more convenient methods, Strange would not have done this. So before extracting energy, he cautiously insured himself and Thor.

Sure enough. Strange and Thor, who were waiting in place, sensed the violent fluctuations in the surrounding space energy. Immediately afterwards, a green figure appeared in front of them.

“Ancient One!” The person roared angrily, and a certain energy frequency oscillated, causing layers of ripples in the surrounding dimensional space. Then, after seeing Strange and Thor clearly, the angry expression on that huge face froze.

“Wait a minute, who are you? Intruders? What is your relationship with the Ancient One?” Nightmare condensed strong energy, as if the next moment he would engulf them with a torrent of energy.

“We are here to discuss business with you.” Strange braced himself and stepped forward, shouting as if he were facing death.

Sure enough. His shout did not have any effect. Nightmare didn’t want to listen to what he had to say at all, and directly engulfed him violently with the energy behind him.

However, when the torrent of energy dissipated, Strange and Thor emerged unscathed from the receding torrent of energy.

“We are here to discuss business with you.” Strange looked at himself and Thor in surprise. It seemed that they had not experienced death. He looked up blankly at Nightmare, who was also a little dazed, and repeated what he had said before.

Nightmare still ignored Strange’s words and launched another energy bombardment in disbelief.

“We are here to discuss business with you! We have prepared an energy acquisition package for you, which can greatly enhance your power!” Strange and Thor walked out of the dissipated energy again, and Strange shouted at a rapid pace.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Ten times.

After experimenting many times in one breath and discovering that his most proud ability was indeed ineffective against the two, Nightmare’s entire face became blank and helpless. Where did these two come from? Their energy and power are clearly not as good as his, but they can be immune to his abilities. This is a bit beyond his long-standing experience.

“We are really here to discuss business with you, at least listen to what we have to say first.” Strange had realized some possibility. He was pleasantly surprised, and also seized the opportunity to explain the business to Nightmare.

“Why can’t you enter my dream?” However, Nightmare had no intention of listening to Strange’s business dealings. He now only wanted to figure out the secret of why these two people were immune to his abilities!

If the lives of the real world are immune to his abilities, wouldn’t he have no future? This is smashing his rice bowl!

“Let’s talk about business first, and we’ll tell you this secret after we’re done.” Strange spread his hands. Although he knew that his words might lead to some bad consequences, he couldn’t answer all of Nightmare’s questions and reveal too much before the cooperation was reached and the contract was signed.

“Do you think I can’t do anything to you?” Nightmare was extremely angry at Strange for daring to negotiate terms with him. He sealed off his dimension and then summoned the strange monsters living in the Nightmare Dimension.

“Looks like we’re surrounded.” Thor looked at the strange figures emerging from the twisted energy mist and shook his Mjolnir in his hand.

“I knew this mission wouldn’t be that simple.” Strange sighed, but then quickly got into position. At this moment, he more deeply understood the Ancient One’s words: “If you want to deal with dimensional demon gods, you must first make them helpless against you.”

Various absurd and bizarre creatures that could only be born in nightmares were forcibly summoned by Nightmare, ordering them to launch an attack on Strange and Thor.

Time engraved its traces in this dimension.

Strange and Thor worked tirelessly to eliminate a large number of emerging monsters, and even launched an attack on Nightmare, forcibly dragging him into this great melee.

Most of the creatures in the Nightmare Dimension have the power characteristics of the dimension, but they cannot make Strange and Thor dream, which greatly reduces their strength when facing the two. They can only fight the two head-on like a reckless man. .

Although they are the most powerful creatures in the Nightmare Dimension, their power characteristics determine that they are biased towards the spiritual system. Letting them fight head-on is equivalent to sealing all the skills of a mage, and then letting the other party carry a staff and engage in close combat with a warrior proficient in combat skills.

I don’t know how long it took before this great melee in the dimensional world stopped under Nightmare’s scolding.

Nightmare watched Strange and Thor slaughter his subordinates wave after wave. He finally managed to kill the troublesome mage, but the next moment, the other party appeared in front of him unscathed, and even added the sentence "We are here to discuss business with you."

After repeating this hundreds or thousands of times, Nightmare finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

Nightmare, whose power characteristics were immunized, was beaten by the two after being dragged into the battlefield. The damage was not great, but the insult was extremely strong! He couldn’t kill them, and his dream power was immunized by the other party. That mage even extracted his power to consume energy in the fight!

At the thought of the other party using his power to hit him and eliminate his subordinates, Nightmare’s huge face seemed to be wearing a pain mask.

Leave the other party aside and ignore them? Wait for the other party to fend for themselves?

This is impossible!

Who knows what kind of big commotion this mage, who has the Ancient One’s strong power imprint and comes from the same line, can cause in his dimensional world if he is not taken care of.

Expel the other party?

This is a good method, but it is difficult to say whether the other party will find a way to invade again.

For a while, it was neither good to let them go nor to keep them. Nightmare, who was somewhat helpless against the two, wore another layer of pain mask on his face, and was in extreme pain.

“What do you have to do to leave?” Nightmare drove away the surrounding monsters. He planned to negotiate with the two first.

“We are here to discuss business, and we will leave after we are done.” Strange saw that Nightmare finally showed a willingness to communicate, and heaved a long sigh of relief. If this continued, until the Tranquility Stones that Luke gave him and Thor were used up, if they didn’t take the opportunity to withdraw, then they would have to face the full-strength Nightmare.

“What do you want to talk about?” Nightmare was eager to send the two away. He had already decided that after listening to the other party’s words, he would vaguely pass them over and let the other party leave.

“Let’s talk about how to expand the power of the Nightmare Dimension. That is, how to enhance the power of the Nightmare Lord, you.” Strange recited a manuscript he obtained from Nick, with some embellishments, but every word was full of bewitching power.

It seemed that as long as he followed the prompts in the words, Nightmare would soon be able to obtain a lot of energy, and his power would skyrocket again. Nightmare, who was originally just thinking about listening, was immersed in it for a while, and imagined according to the picture depicted by Strange. He even felt that the mage in front of him was better at bewitching people than the devils in the hell dimension.

“Um, are you sure you can do what you said?” Nightmare was still a little incredulous and cautiously asked for verification.

“You can sign a contract.” Strange took out a piece of parchment.

“The stench of the hell dimension! Wait, are you a disciple of the Ancient One or a believer of Mephisto?” Nightmare looked at Strange holding the parchment in shock.

“Didn’t I say? Our Supreme Mage lineage now has a cooperative relationship with Mephisto. In addition to him, there is also the Asgardian God King Odin. This is Odin’s heir, Prince Thor Odinson.” Strange patted Thor on the shoulder. Thor looked at him blankly. His emotions were still immersed in the battle just now. He had been suffocated in Asgard during this time.

“You would actually cooperate together. This is too rare.” Nightmare narrowed his eyes. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t say what it was. If it was a trap, this trap was too crude, especially since the other party was quite sincere.

“Everything is always changing.” Strange shrugged indifferently.

“According to the agreement, you will let me see the results and facts first, right?” Nightmare asked with interest. Yes, he was moved! For a demon god of his level, he urgently needed to absorb more energy to continuously increase his power.

Who would be willing to work hard and risk being beaten to show up if it weren’t for energy and expanding their dimensional world? His power characteristics determined that his strength would drop drastically when he left his dimension.

If there really was a safe and convenient way to obtain energy, he would of course be happy to try it. It can be said that this copywriting accurately hit the hearts of demon gods like him.

“Yes, Luke, a senior member of the alliance meeting, provided the technology. You only need to cooperate a little.” Strange took out the [Black Nightmare Seed] that Luke gave him and showed it to Nightmare.

“The sweet breath of nightmare. I feel the throbbing of the dimensional world.” Nightmare’s eyes widened, and his huge face was full of undisguised covetousness for the [Black Nightmare Seed].

“This is our sincerity.” Strange said.

“Give it to me! Give it to me! I will satisfy all your requirements!” Nightmare couldn’t wait to ask.

“This requires you to talk to its creator.” Strange spread his hands helplessly.

“Its creator must be a master proficient in mind and darkness.” Nightmare grabbed the [Black Nightmare Seed] to his eyes and looked at it intoxicated. If he could have gotten this earlier, how many detours would he have avoided! How powerful would his power have accumulated?

Even because of the appearance of the [Black Nightmare Seed], even this wave of troublesome battles, and the mage who still made him feel annoying and uncomfortable, made him feel a little pleasing and kind for a while.

He was now thinking about figuring out the structure of this [Black Nightmare Seed] as soon as possible. As for whether to cooperate or not? Well, we can talk about it first. When he researches and cracks the [Black Nightmare Seed] and uses the energy of the Nightmare Dimension to create it, then he will have a high degree of choice whether to cooperate or not, how to cooperate, and whether to cooperate.

He can just continue to work alone.

Nightmare’s greed, perfunctoryness, and cunningness were so undisguised that even the straightforward Thor could easily see it. He turned his gaze to Strange in confusion, but Strange didn’t look at him. In the case that Nightmare clearly expressed his intention to drive people away, Strange pulled Thor, agreed with Nightmare on the timing of the next meeting, and waved to pull out the portal in the case that the other party had no intention of retaining him, and even actively unlocked the dimensional seal, just short of saying you guys leave quickly, and dragged Thor into the portal.

Anyway, his mission was completed. He successfully met Nightmare, successfully reached a cooperation intention with him, and also successfully handed over what Luke wanted to give Nightmare. The remaining affairs no longer belonged to him alone.
