Within the Depths of Hell;
"Someone actually controlled the space-time of the main universe. How interesting!"
A sinister voice rang from a large throne where a red-skinned devil was sitting.
He was the Lord of Hell Dimension, Mephisto.
The sinister smile turned into a cold expression as he muttered.
"So, he is the one Ancient One allowed to freely access Earth and take away the dead souls."
"But it seems like he hasn't done a very good job of this. Is that why Ancient One agreed to let him enter Earth?"
"No, something is wrong….Dark Elves and Frost Giants! They are invading Earth. This can be a perfect opportunity for me."
He stood up from his throne as he said.
"Although that guy Malekith can't defeat Ancient One, he won't be restricted like us."
"As long as Ancient One gets busy with him, I can use that puppet to destroy temples."
"But I have to do it before Dormammu can react."
When he said that, he didn't realize Dormammu was already being blocked by the Ancient One.
She never looked at Malekith.
Not because Odin was there, but simply because Adam was present.
Although Malekith was similar to Sky Father in strength, Adam was more than enough.
Adam was originally a mutant who was born with the power of Reality Manipulation.
This reality manipulation didn't work until he was brought out of the universe, where he turned the universe in his mind into a pocket dimension.
Thus, he became a New Dimensional Lord.
While his dimension wasn't big, he possessed all the powers of a Dimensional Lord.
Not only that, he wasn't suppressed by the formation of Vishanti, allowing him to use half of his strength.
Although that was just half of his strength, Adam was already beyond the confines of the universe.
After becoming the Dimensional Lord, even Death couldn't claim him unless someone truly destroyed his dimension.
Even then, they had to kill him outside the universe where his powers weren't restricted.
Unfortunately, all powers had a source.
His power source was energy. He needed to transform the matter into energy that he could manipulate and use for Reality Manipulation.
He could conjure that energy from his body, but there was a limit to how much.
Ancient One believed with Reality Stone, Adam was at least stronger than Dormammu.
Even without Reality Stone, fighting wasn't a problem. Even defeating Dormammu outside his dimension wasn't a problem.
The only problem was energy consumption.
Although she couldn't see Adam take away the Reality Stone, she could feel his power acting on Nine Realms.
This was definitely his act, but she chose to ignore it.
After all, it was for the creation of the Chakra Seed.
After this battle, Kama Taj could officially start practicing Chakra and Jutsu.
"Ancient One, the temples will fall soon. Then, I will devour your world and take back my magic."
A gigantic creature that was the size of a planet, with just its head.
He slowly transformed into a tall, building-sized, inferno-filled humanoid figure.
This was Dormammu, the ruler of Dark Dimension, practitioner of Dark Magic.
He was the imminent threat to Earth.
"I don't think so, Dormammu. I need to fend you off early so I can stop Mephisto from whatever shenanigans he is planning."
Ancient One waved her hand, and two of them were instantly locked into the Mirror Dimension.
"Using Mirror Dimension again! Aren't you bored?"
A purple energy blasted towards Ancient One, only for it to move away from her and explode somewhere else.
"Not when I can just play with you."
Ancient One chuckled as she conjured several large swords made out of the space around her.
Clack! Clack! Clack!
Before Dormammu could react, these swords pierced through his body, but they didn't do much damage.
Even the damage they did was instantly healed.
"Ancient One, you shouldn't have left Earth. Here, my powers are not suppressed." Dormammu roared.
He raised his right hand and released a huge stream of fire that went straight toward Ancient One.
It turned anything in its path to ash as it moved.
But suddenly, a golden portal appeared in front of the fire, and the same golden portal appeared above Dormammu.
But that wasn't all. She used another spell, transforming the orange flame into white flames as it fell upon the Lord of Dark Dimension.
"Argh! Your powers…. Why are you getting stronger?"
Dormammu roared.
Then, suddenly, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Where is my dark magic? Where is Vishanti's white magic? You aren't using them…."
"No, I can still feel my energy flowing into you. What kind of magic did you use? How did you transform both dark magic and white magic?"
Hearing this, Ancient One chuckled and said.
"We are not here to talk, Dormammu. Since I'm in a hurry, let me destroy you first."
[Crimson Bands of Cyttorak]
Two large silver bands emerged from the palm of her hand and captured Dormammu's body, wrapping him so tightly that he couldn't even move.
"Ahh! These cursed bands. No, these are drawn from Cyttorak's power, but this no longer has Crimson Energy."
"What did you do, Ancient One?"
Dormammu roared, releasing waves of purple energy. These waves transformed into a massive blast of energy that kept attacking Ancient One.
Unfortunately, before they could even reach her, they were pulled away as she changed the space around her.
[Bolts of Balthakk]
Two white lightning bolts emerged from the ground and rushed toward Dormammu, slamming into him with so much force that a large chunk of his body was destroyed.
Each lightning bolt contained such a high temperature that it turned the ground into magma as it moved.
[Flames of Faltine]
An enormous white flame emerged from the palm of her hand, engulfing Dormammu.
"You dare burn me with my flames?"
Dormammu roared, trying to control these flames, but they didn't listen to him.
Instead, they burned him even more fiercely. Not only was a large part of his body burned, leaving him severely injured.
"By the power of Chakra, I expel you to your World, Dormammu."
Ancient One spoke as she pushed her palm forward, releasing a huge hammer made out of silver energy.
This hammer struck Dormammu so hard that his body flew back towards a large golden portal summoned behind him.
Just as she expelled Dormammu, Ancient One was suddenly greeted by a voice.
"It has been a long time, my student."
"Teacher!"
"It seems like you have done quite an amazing job. Now, our white magic has transformed into your own energy."
"Is it the gift of the New Dimensional Lord?"
A slightly confused voice rang.
"Ancient One, you are the Supreme Sorcerer chosen by the Vishanti. We didn't care if you used Black Magic to keep the reality safe."
"But you have crossed the line. We will not allow another dimensional lord to be involved with Kama Taj."
A roar rang in her ears.
But Ancient One calmly ignored it and said.
"Unfortunately, you can't do anything about it. The moment I surrendered my soul to Eternity, the matter of the Kama Taj is for me to handle."
"Who I choose depends on my choice. If my successor chooses just to use White Magic, then I will not interfere."
"By the words of the Living Tribunal, White Magic exists to defy and suppress Black Magic. So, I can use your magic as long as I am willing to pay the price."
Hearing her words, even Agamotto, who was her teacher, felt ashamed of his student.
She was using Living Tribunal to gain leverage over the White Magic.
Because of the Living Tribunal, they must provide any Sorcerer Supreme and his disciples with White Magic to fight Black Magic, creating a balance.
But they weren't at any kind of disadvantage since they would generally claim the souls of the sorcerers.
Unfortunately, Ancient One directly negotiated with Eternity and submitted her soul to him.
Now, even if they wanted to, they couldn't force Eternity to give up her soul.
What made this matter worse was that she was also using Dark Magic to sustain her life for hundreds of years.
It wasn't bad considering there weren't a lot of strong sorcerers for hundreds of years.
But it was still shameful for a practitioner and head of White Magic users to suddenly siphon Black Magic and use it better than Black Magic users.
"Student, we are not happy that you chose to use the powers of another Dimensional Lord."
"Teacher, power is power. As long as I can use it to protect Earth, it doesn't matter what power I use."
"And, the Dimensional Lord whose power I am using is far more capable than you can imagine."
"Teacher, you should give him a visit someday. You will understand my intention."
"Is that so?"
A soft sigh rang in her ears.
"I taught you to protect Earth, and you have done a great job. I will do what I can to create a balance with this new Dimensional Lord."
"Good luck, teacher!"
Ancient One smiled as she opened the portal to Earth and entered.
