Chapter 1010: Chapter 804 Volunteering to Take the Bait_3

The tip of the spear pierced through inch by inch.

“It’s not over yet!”

Dormammu tried to gather his strength once more.

Meanwhile, Tao Yu had already floated the Eye of Agamotto in front of him.

Although the Time Gem had been washed by the Abyss Aura, reducing its effectiveness in the Marvel World, it was still a product of this universe.

“It’s already over!”

Though Dormammu was a dimensional Demon God existing independently of time, capable of remaining conscious even within the cycles of the mortal world,

Tao Yu, already possessing time-stopping Talent, combined with the interference from the Time Gem, forcefully reversed Dormammu’s attempt to gather energy once more.

Dormammu’s newly accumulated dark power was forcibly scattered back to its previous fragmented state.

Even though it only played a minor auxiliary role, insignificant at first glance,

it was this reversal that allowed the Spear of Longinus to bypass Dormammu’s defenses without obstruction.

Effortlessly tearing through the energy veil that hadn’t fully gathered at the tip of the spear, it pierced directly through Dormammu’s body!

“Ah!”

Dormammu clutched the spear embedded in his body with both hands, seemingly struggling to pull it out.

Yet the Spear of Longinus’s trait of lowering status proved to be an overwhelming restraint against a being like Dormammu!

Combined with the Kaji of Tao Yu’s own Sealing Techniques and the borrowed Negative Cosmic Energy,

the spear drew power from the Gate of Guf, already opened, transmitting black lines from a distance onto the weapon.

Black patterns began to spread outward from the wound, like tendrils creeping toward Dormammu’s energy body.

Despite Dormammu currently using only an energy form, this force seemed capable of eroding his very Spirit. The spear’s rigid fixation dragged the black tendrils mercilessly onto Dormammu’s form.

“Ahhh! Stay away from me!”

Dormammu’s wound acted like a deflating balloon, with immense energy bubbling out furiously. The entire Dark Dimension coordinated with him in self-rescue, pumping copious amounts of energy into his body to counteract the leakage.

Like bricks tossing into a collapsing wall, the process forcefully slowed the crawling tendrils’ progression; each inch felt excruciatingly arduous and slow.

Even Tao Yu hadn’t anticipated successfully piercing through Dormammu by leveraging the element of surprise and interference from the Time Gem, yet Dormammu continued to struggle?

The upper hand belonged to Tao Yu now, and the erosion was progressing,

but Tao Yu also sensed his Destroyer Armor emitting faint groans.

His heart seemed synchronized with the ebb and flow of spatial tides, each beat surging with newfound energy, yet barely enough to maintain suppression!

If this battle dragged on, his Dark Dimension was bound to sustain irreparable damage!

And there it was—the Abyss right beside him—filling Tao Yu with urgency.

He then began to soften his tone.

“Dormammu, I’m not determined to seize your Dark Dimension entirely. As long as you can grant me a portion or allow me to borrow from it, you can remain its ruler.”

“Abyss’s dog! Don’t try to deceive me! I won’t trust you!”

Dormammu pulled at the Spear of Longinus little by little, attempting to extract it. Each minor movement of the spear caused an avalanche of energy to leak from his wound, inflicting pain akin to tearing his Soul apart.

Despite the Spear of Longinus’s formidable power, it began to tremble, unsteady.

“I’m serious, I’m not lying—I can swear…”

“Shut up! Your vows are worthless!”

“Oh, I’m not a Devotee of the Abyss. The truth is, I’m doing this to confront the Abyss.”

“You’re lying!”

The duo exchanged verbal blows while continuing their intense standoff.

“Don’t try to toast when you refuse to drink wine! Resist any longer, and I’ll tear open the Abyss’s barrier right now! I’ll let Abyss’s power seep into the entire Dark Dimension!”

Tao Yu’s colossal figure extended an arm and made a tearing motion to the side.

Leveraging data stolen from the Big Boss, there were faint signs of actually connecting to the Abyss.

The Dark Dimension was already positioned close to the Abyss, essentially on the outskirts of this independent World. Tao Yu truly didn’t wish to prolong the fight, fearing it would collapse entirely.

Unfortunately, Dormammu clearly hadn’t grasped Tao Yu’s concerns. Watching Tao Yu’s motion ripple across the Dark Dimension, Dormammu’s previously roaring demeanor shifted; his expression changed as he ceased his struggles and pleaded bitterly.

“No! Stop! I believe you! I believe you!”

As Dormammu relinquished resistance and the half-extracted Spear of Longinus embedded deeper, the black tendrils accelerated their encroachment.

Tao Yu finally exhaled slightly in relief.

Looking at Dormammu’s pitiful appearance, why did he now seem like the antagonist?

Clearly, Dormammu was the real Big Bad…

——

“Tch~, seems I really have to become an Abyss’s dog just to convince this guy. I’m the Supreme Mage…”

Tao Yu, ultimately unable to completely subdue Dormammu, settled for a half-convincing, half-forcing state.

Even though he’d promised the Ancient One that he’d protect the World—and had genuinely done so—he had no choice but to leverage the Abyss as a threat to temporarily win Dormammu’s acceptance.

“After all, he’s the ruler of the Dark Dimension. If I must compromise, so be it—as long as I can use the Dark Dimension as a stepping stone.”

From the very beginning, Tao Yu’s aim had been to utilize the connection to the Dark Dimension to properly activate the Gate of Guf.

Now that objective had been achieved.

Dormammu remained the master of the Dark Dimension—its supreme overlord.
