"I hope Archmage Mark does not do anything that endangers Earth!"
Ancient One looked deeply at Archmage Mark and warned, "Otherwise, even if your strength is greater, the Kamar-Taj lineage will certainly not easily let you off!"
"Heh heh."
Archmage Mark smiled meaningfully, "What if people from Kamar-Taj provoke me first?"
"Then you naturally don't need to hold back!"
Ancient One frowned, unsure if it was because of Archmage Mark's words or his attitude. "That would naturally be for the best."
Archmage Mark smiled and nodded, as if saying, 'You'd best go back and rein in your disciples, otherwise, if they fall into my hands, I won't return them to you in one piece.'
"I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first!"
Ancient One nodded to Archmage Mark, then stepped into a portal and left...
"This Ancient One, something is off!"
Seeing the teleportation portal disappear, Archmage Mark frowned and muttered to himself.
Although this was only his third encounter with Ancient One, Archmage Mark didn't actually know what kind of person Ancient One truly was.
However, in this third encounter, Ancient One seemed like a completely different person compared to the previous two, giving Archmage Mark a strong sense of unease.
"First, I'll go check out the Dark Dimension."
Archmage Mark frowned.
Acting on his thought, Archmage Mark's mind stirred, and his entire being vanished from the Dark Energy Base, reappearing within the Dark Dimension...
"As expected!"
Feeling the changes in the Dark Dimension, a look of 'it truly is so' flashed in Archmage Mark's eyes.
"The Dark Dimension has actually been shattered to the brink of collapse?"
Seeing the entire deep space of the Dark Dimension filled with irreparable cracks, even Archmage Mark, who had reached Skyfather Level power, couldn't hide the shock on his face. "And, I can't even sense Dormammu's omnipresent aura anymore?"
"This Odin, he's truly ruthless!"
A hint of solemnity flashed across Archmage Mark's face. Although Archmage Mark himself wasn't afraid of Odin, he absolutely did not want his newly established forces to be discovered by Odin. With that guy's ruthlessness, his nascent forces would definitely be torn to shreds by Odin!
"As expected of a being that even Sunset Purple Sweet Potato dared not act against until he was dead. Odin, wearing the Destroyer Armor, is truly incredibly ruthless!"
"It seems Dormammu was severely injured, and Ancient One... took this opportunity to greatly increase her absorption of dark power. No! It should be 'seizing' it!"
"Furthermore, Ancient One seems to have a slight intention of replacing Dormammu."
Archmage Mark thought of this and was suddenly a little stunned.
Archmage Mark saw a trend of assimilation in Ancient One, and it might even be that Ancient One herself wanted to assimilate the Dark Dimension. This was like the idea that to defeat magic, one must use magic; to defeat Dormammu, one must first become Dormammu. Taking advantage of Dormammu being severely injured and in a dormant state, she forcibly seized the Dark Dimension's resources, further integrated into the Dark Dimension, and might even eventually devour Dormammu.
"Holy crap!"
Archmage Mark was also shocked. "Could it be that Ancient One will eventually become another Dormammu and try to devour Earth?"
Compared to Dormammu, who was blocked by Ancient One, devouring Earth was fraught with difficulties.
If Ancient One assimilated into the Dark Dimension and became the new will of the Dark Dimension, then no one would be able to stop her. Devouring Earth would be a matter of minutes!
"If Ancient One became the new will of the Dark Dimension, who could stop her?"
"With the Dark Dimension as her body, it's ten thousand times better than her previous mortal body, with immense potential for development!"
"Plus, with the Time Stone in hand, holy crap, she'd be the next villain for sure!"
The more Archmage Mark thought about it, the more horrified he became. "Damn it, I just stole a steel spear from Odin, did it really have to escalate into so many, such huge changes?"
"So, Doctor Strange is definitely out of the picture, then?"
"Uh... Ancient One is about to embody the will of the Dark Dimension, she can't possibly still be looking for a so-called successor, right?"
"Damn it all!"
Archmage Mark suddenly felt annoyed. "Can't these... Infinity Stones just stay put on Earth?"
"If the Time Stone is taken by Ancient One into the Dark Dimension, getting it back will be incredibly difficult!"
"The Tesseract was taken by Odin, and I don't know if Odin hid it himself or gave it to Queen Frigga. Either way... it's not easy to get!"
"Damn, if I had known, I would have just snatched the Tesseract from the Dark Energy Base earlier."
Archmage Mark frowned. "Being too hesitant isn't good either, letting the Tesseract slip away for nothing."
"I also don't know if Hela can successfully bring back the Soul Stone. Should I send that pet wolf Fenrir to Hela?"
"Hmm..., I should still get the Power Stone first!"
"After investigating Morag, I'll still go myself to retrieve the Cosmic Orb, to avoid any further complications!"
Archmage Mark had already obtained information about Morag in the Nova Empire.
However, Morag had been abandoned for thousands of years, and with the Nova Empire's thousand-year-old data, Archmage Mark couldn't directly Mind Teleport there.
But Archmage Mark had also sent White to control a small team of intelligent reconnaissance drones to explore. As long as Morag was found and a real-time video was recorded, Archmage Mark could teleport there in minutes to retrieve the Cosmic Orb...
"Once I have the Power Stone, then I can go wild in various ways without any worries."
"At that time, even if Destroyer Odin appears before me again, I can directly confront him!"
"Also, I can plan to see if those... wormholes within wormholes can connect to some strange places."
Michael pondered.
"Hmm... I wonder if Ancient One will ultimately choose to assimilate and become a part of the Dark Dimension."
Michael guessed, "If Ancient One really merges into the Dark Dimension, then it would be truly interesting!"
"Forget it, I won't bother with these for now. This is something I can't control!"
Michael surveyed the cracked and dilapidated Dark Dimension around him, shook his head, and with a thought, returned to Earth. However, he didn't go back to the Dark Energy Base, but directly to the... Group building. "Since I've returned to Earth, I might as well check on Skye and the others."
