Chapter 402 Tony Stark's Target

Hearing this, Nolan Locke sighed.

"It won't be easy to get this damn bastard out of here. If we do, it will be difficult for us to leave. Right now, there shouldn't be any guards chasing us, but if we try to take him out, it will likely take some time. After all, the army here isn't so easy to defeat us."

"If we try to leave here, we'll likely find ourselves surrounded and pursued by enemy troops. If that happens, leaving unscathed won't be an easy task."

But after hearing Nolan Locke's words, the expressions of the others did not change. Tony Stark, from the state of Luzhou, then spoke to the Southeast Road Guest:

"Isn't this what we came here for? If we were afraid of danger, what would we be doing here? So now, Nolan Locke, put down all that damned stuff. We don't need you to do anything. What we need to do now is take our prisoner back. As long as we bring him to Earth, we will definitely be able to find out the relevant information. Although Mephisto is very strong, I don't believe that this damned guy is someone who would rather die than submit."

As Tony Stark said this, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes when he looked at Mephisto.

Mephisto also looked at Tony Stark, but there was no hatred in Mephisto's eyes, nor any other look, only a hint of relief.

It's clear that Tony Stark was right. Mephisto isn't a very resilient person. If it's for your benefit, he won't care about anything. All he wants is to survive; nothing else matters to him, including Dormammu's life.

He didn't even look at Dormammu. He didn't care about Dormammu's fate at all; he only cared about his own survival. And now, his survival no longer depended on Nolan Locke, because he knew very well that Nolan Locke had no intention of letting him live. If things continued, his only fate would be death. So he looked at Tony Stark and spoke directly to him:

"You can try, but I guarantee you'll be disappointed. I absolutely won't reveal any information. Even if you ask me to take you to Earth, it won't make a difference. Perhaps you can have Nolan Locke kill me, but it doesn't matter at all. I'm absolutely not afraid of death!"

Mephisto's shouts were incredibly fierce, but the more fierce they were, the more it revealed his deep contemplation. For Brother Tony, with his sharp mind, he could easily discern the emotions Mephisto was hiding. Therefore, his gaze towards Nolan Locke became even more resolute. Indeed, keeping Mephisto here wouldn't be easy; if they tried to take him out, they would likely face an attack. But now they had no other choice.

If they didn't do this, then everything they came here for would have been in vain. If it wasn't to capture Mephisto, then what were they doing in this damned dimensional rift? So they absolutely couldn't leave like this now; they had to take Mephisto with them. But for Nolan Locke, he didn't want to do that at all.

Nolan Locke spoke directly to Tony Stark:

"Don't worry, I have a way to break the curse. Although it's a rather complicated method, it doesn't require Mephisto at all. The reason I entered the dimension to find Mephisto was simply to find a simpler way to break the curse. Without him, things would indeed become more complicated, but he's not our only hope. And judging from Mephisto's current expression, he clearly doesn't intend to reveal it."

Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? Let's just kill him right here. Once we kill him, we can solve many problems.

Leaving from here won't cause us too much trouble, and killing two powerful dimensional lords would be excellent for our future Earth strategy. Other dimensional lords would also be wary of Earth, and we probably won't be attacked by the first dimension for a while.

However, if we take him out, regardless of the casualties involved, it will at least give Mephisto a better chance of survival. For beings of this dimension, giving them hope is extremely dangerous. We can't even imagine their level of understanding. Beings that have lived for thousands of years would never lose hope over something so simple. Therefore, whatever Mephisto says now, we absolutely cannot listen to him.

However, Nolan Locke's words clearly did not sway the others. Nolan Locke did believe that he had a way to break the curse, but the others did not think so, especially Sister Lan of Tefens. She knew very well how much information she and Nolan Locke had searched for in order to break the curse.

He had searched through the entire database of the Earth, but although there were some records of this curse, there was no record of how to break it. So it was a paradox. Only Mephisto, who possessed and released his ancestor, might have a way to break the curse.

Therefore, they have no other choice at all. In his view, what Jundoramk said was nothing more than words of comfort, so there was no need to consider Nolan Locke's opinion. All they needed to do was bring Morpheus to Earth and then use some methods on Earth to get Morpheus to tell the truth, which would be enough.

Stephen Strange didn't look at Nolan Locke, but instead looked at Tony Stark and the others, and spoke directly to them:

"Gentlemen, we need to hurry. If we drag this out any longer, other reinforcements might appear in the dimensional rift, which would be a huge problem for us. I don't want to be stuck here with those damned bastards. We can't unleash our full power here, while those dimensional lords aren't suppressed by the Temple. With this imbalance of power, leaving from there won't be easy. So, we'd better speed things up and bring this damned Mephisto back. We can deal with the problem once we're back on Earth. At most, if all this is just talk..."

We believe that Nolan Locke is indeed incredibly powerful, possessing knowledge beyond our comprehension. Perhaps through his Locke technology, he has a certain understanding of the entire universe, which explains the vast amount of information he has. However, if he truly had useful information, why would he come with us to this damned dimensional place to search for Morpheus?

Therefore, this can only mean one thing: Mephisto's solution may be the only way to break this curse. Nocturne has no other choice. In that case, we must bring Mephisto to Earth, otherwise Nocturne will likely be doomed, and I don't want to see that happen.”

Steve Strange said this with a hint of mockery, but everyone who heard him was truly unable to remain calm. For them, saving Nolan Locke was their sole objective. If Neuer were to perish, then everything they had done would have been in vain.

Therefore, they would never give up on saving Nolan Locke. Now that Nolan Locke was bringing up these matters, they didn't care at all. So, although Nolan Locke was helpless, the group still decided to take Mephisto away. Mephisto breathed a sigh of relief, while most people, seeing this situation, turned extremely pale.

If they take more of Mephisto, it means that Mephisto still has a chance to survive. In that case, Mephisto is unlikely to fight to the death. He has been waiting for Mephisto to make a move, because Mephisto is the master of the first dimension, and he must have some other methods prepared.

If he were truly in dire straits, Mephisto might very well resort to those methods, at least offering some hope. But if Mephisto saw that there was still a chance of survival, then all his thoughts would likely be nothing but empty talk. That damned bastard would absolutely not use those methods for him, so at this moment, he was as furious as could be. He roared, "That's what makes me so angry!"

"Does Situ really think you can escape their control by using all your damned tricks? Although I don't know the situation outside, they are moving too fast. There might not even be any dimensions outside. If that happens, you will definitely be taken to Earth. Do you think you can survive after entering Earth? I'm pretty sure you don't have the strength to survive like that on Earth."

This is your only chance, Mephisto, unleash all your power now!

Dormammu roared incessantly, trying to sway Mephisto, but Mephisto merely glanced at him and withdrew his experiment. He didn't care about Dormammu's blind ideas; all he wanted to do was what he was supposed to do. If things changed because of Dormammu's blind ideas, it would be a terrible thing for everyone, and he wouldn't let that happen.

The attacks from the various armies in the distance continued unabated, their ever-growing vitality showcasing the combined power of the terrestrial and dark dimensions. This was the source of the immense confidence and power of the two dimensional lords' amplification. Moreover, besides these armies, there were also many powerful individuals among them, whose strength was by no means weak. Although they were currently besieging the two, these two dimensional lords, upon seeing their masters being attacked, also charged towards them like madmen.

Seeing these powerful figures rushing over, the crowd could no longer remain calm. These powerful figures were far stronger than Tony Stark. Seeing this, Tony Stark did not hesitate to rush towards one of them. He had not yet been able to use the God Armor effectively. Although he had played a role in the God Armor when facing Mephisto and Dormammu, he had not been able to use it effectively.

However, these effects were not powerful enough to prove himself or even make him happy. So now he just wanted his powerful armor to show some power and defeat some strong opponents to change people's impression of him. Otherwise, he would probably be stuck with the title of weakling.

The Dark Dimension powerhouse charging towards him saw that Tony Stark had no aura, and just sneered before charging at him. However, just as the two were close, Tony Stark suddenly activated his ammunition depot, unleashing a terrifying barrage of firepower upon his opponent.

The powerful being from the Dark Dimension didn't react at all; it was directly engulfed by the terrifying firepower. Its master, Dormammu, could withstand such an attack. However, even if Dormammu couldn't withstand such an attack, he wasn't completely unharmed, let alone a subject of the Dark Dimension like himself.

Faced with such an attack, it became extremely disheveled, suffering numerous injuries. Although not fatal, these horrific wounds were enough to significantly reduce its combat strength.

Seeing this, Tony Stark breathed a sigh of relief at the Derivative Hospital. He had always been very confident in his God Armor, but after the appearance of others, his first battle was against Nolan Locke. When facing Nolan Locke, his God Armor did not perform at all and was defeated. When facing a strong person like Morpheus, his God Armor also failed to perform as expected and did not show any outstanding performance in front of the two.

But now, facing this formidable powerhouse from the Dark Dimension, he finally revealed the allure of the Divine Armor.

If it still doesn't work, then he might start to doubt his symmetrical strategy. Fortunately, he is now quite certain that his anti-god war strategy has indeed been successfully developed.

However, the performance of the God Armor still needs improvement, so it cannot play a significant role in dealing with Nolan Locke. But that's alright; his next plan is to increase the production of the God Armor.

He needs a massive steel army.

Since the quality isn't good enough, let's make up for it with quantity.

……

Chapter 403

Tony Stark thought his idea was excellent, and he was already planning to do it. After all, if things continued to drag on like this, it wouldn't do him any good. His formation armor had already reached a certain level, and it wouldn't be easy to further improve its performance.

Although he had some clues, each subsequent upgrade required materials from outside Earth, but given the current situation, he simply didn't have those resources. Therefore, for him, the only way to improve the performance of his armor, besides magic, was to rely on quantity.

Improving performance is by no means an easy task, so at this point he could only focus on quantity. Although the power of one Team God Armor was not enough to fight against a strongman like Morpheus, through this battle he at least knew that as long as his Team God Armor could unleash its absolute power.

So it can still play a little bit of a role in Mephisto's fight. Although it's only a little bit, all he needs to do next is increase his production of God War Armor. Even if he can't enhance the performance of city battles, he can still give God War Armor a lot of counter-attack capabilities.

His Anti-God Armor was primarily designed to counter Nolan Locke, so all the templates he faced were based on Nolan Locke.

In reality, the opponents he normally needs to deal with aren't necessarily powerhouses like Nolan Locke. The vast majority of the guns he faces are far inferior to Nolan Locke's, and each powerful being possesses different characteristics. For example, Mephisto's magical energy is more refined, while Dormammu's power is far more violent.

When facing two such powerful opponents, his symmetrical armor can be customized to have different performance characteristics depending on the opponent. Although the overall performance of the symmetrical armor can no longer be improved, in addition to a balanced formation and armor, it can also develop features such as a speed mode.

He employs different modes, such as Power Mode, to deal with situations. He's also considering incorporating the Magic Team God Armor into his next action plan. Magic is a very mysterious field for him; although he's studied it for some time, he hasn't achieved any results in the magical realm.

He hadn't even scratched the surface. Under these circumstances, although he always felt that improving his magic resistance against the opponent's armor wasn't a normal or easy thing, he had no other choice now. This was because many of the enemies he was facing now used magical power. If he used the same methods when facing a powerful opponent like Dimensional again, he probably wouldn't gain much benefit.

Therefore, studying magic is something he must do next. However, he cannot study magic using magical methods; he can only study it using physical science. The reason is very simple: he had communicated with Nolan Locke before, and Locke had discussed some issues with him. The power of magic is not only magic but can also be manifested through physical means, although this is very difficult. Moreover, if he could find a way to interpret magic using physical methods...

Then he could use physical methods to enhance the properties of magic, allowing him to create true anti-magic armor. If he could forge anti-magic armor with extremely high magic resistance, then opponents like Mephisto and Thuram wouldn't be insurmountable, even if it was still incredibly difficult. However, if he had a sufficiently powerful army, the armor would definitely make him more capable of fighting these two, unlike his current situation. His plan is good, but he clearly doesn't have the right to ignore everyone's persistence right now.

Nolan Locke's face also showed a hint of helplessness. For him, if things continued this way, capturing Mephisto would be far from easy; they were likely already surrounded. Taking Mephisto along, with the constant threat of escaping to the powerful dimensional alliance, naturally added more uncertainty. Now, he hoped that truly resolving the situation with Mephisto would eliminate some of the potential problems and prevent further complications.

Then he would enter other universes to find a true solution. Even if he couldn't find a way to break the curse, he could still solve the problem by changing bodies and then using the method of soul evolution. However, since everyone disagreed, he could only keep this plan as an alternative. Thinking of this, Nolan Roger directly addressed everyone:

"In that case, let's prepare to retreat. Taking Morpheus Locke away won't be an easy task. I'll be the first to rush out of the Nether Dimension. There's a high chance that some Dimensional Lords will appear outside the Nether Dimension. If we can't escape, it will be a huge problem."

Therefore, we must break through their blockade in a short time and enter other dimensions, so that we can use those other dimensions as a springboard to return to our own reality.

Nolan Locke spoke very concisely, but everyone understood what he meant. They had already heard some of his words before, and now they naturally knew what to do to solve the problem. However, solving the problem was not so easy. Even Bruce Banner, who knew almost nothing about magic, was very clear about the trouble they were in. But now they had no other choice.

Just as everyone said, they would never give up Mephisto. Only by taking Mephisto away could they leave this place. Otherwise, everything they had done would be meaningless, so no one would choose to do it. No one raised any objections, and then he looked at Dormammu. President Dormammu shrank back, knowing that the situation had probably truly reached a life-or-death crisis for him.

If he couldn't come up with a solution to his predicament, Nolan Locke would definitely kill him. He would never allow this lord of the Dark Dimension to cause them trouble. Faced with this situation, a rare look of fear appeared on his usually numb face. He directly said to Nolan Locke:

"Don't kill me. I promise I'll never oppose you again, and I'll never invade Earth again. If you kill me, the entire Dark Dimension will be thrown into chaos, and other dimensional lords might invade it. You must know that the Dark Dimension is an extremely powerful dimension. Those already powerful dimensional lords, if they were to rule the Dark Dimension, would receive its blessing, and their power would increase accordingly."

Under such circumstances, the power of the Dark Dimension would absolutely amplify to an incredibly terrifying level, one that even Earth would be utterly unable to withstand!

Dormammu's revenge was swift and decisive. He feared that if he hesitated even slightly, he would be killed by Nolan Locke and his group. However, there was no other chance now. Nolan Locke merely shrugged at his statement, not paying much attention. Perhaps what he said wasn't entirely wrong, but Nolan Locke had no intention of letting Dormammu go. The reason was simple: he no longer wanted to deal with such an opponent. Dormammu's repeated invasions of Earth clearly demonstrated his staunch support for war.

Releasing Dormammu at this point would offer no benefit to Earth, and Dormammu might even become their only spoils. After all, entering a dimension without any spoils and ending up slinking away wouldn't be a good thing for them. Moreover, if they were to try and escape Dormammu, they might encounter many more troubles. It would be simpler for them to deal with Dormammu directly.

Mephisto had clearly seen Nolanlock's intentions, but he didn't say anything. He no longer had the right to speak; if Noillock intended to do it, he could only watch silently. A look of despair gradually appeared in Dorothy's eyes, and then he suddenly rushed towards Nolanlock.

He already knew that he had no chance left. If he didn't act now, Nolan Locke would soon remember him, and he wouldn't wait. At that point, as long as he could kill Nolan Locke, he would still have a sliver of hope to escape. After all, although they were indeed surrounded, the army still belonged to them. This was a dimensional realm, and within that realm, there were two other massive armies.

These troops might not be enough to deal with Nolan Locke, but the rest of the team could certainly stop him. If he killed Nolan Locke, no one could stop him from leaving. His idea was good, but how could Nolan Locke and the others let him achieve it so easily? The moment Dormammu made his move, Nolan Locke didn't hesitate or even retreat. He charged directly at Dormammu. Perhaps the others wouldn't survive the fight, but for Nolan Locke, he wanted to personally take Dormammu's head.

Almost instantly, Nolan Locke appeared before Dormammu. Dormammu's pupils constricted; he hadn't expected Nolan Locke to be so fast. But it was too late for regrets. Nolan Locke brought his battle blade directly to Dormammu's head. Seeing the fear on Dormammu's face, Nolan Locke coldly summarized:

"Now, face your destiny!"

After speaking, Noanlock showed no hesitation, looking directly at Durram. The next instant, blood splattered, and Durram's numb head was severed. This lord, who had traversed the Dark Dimension for countless years, even invading Earth multiple times and instilling immense fear in the entire Sorcerer Supreme, Ethyl, had died here without a trace of tragedy. Morpheus, witnessing this, showed a hint of relief on his face.

Fortunately, he had something on Nolan Locke.

If it weren't for this, he would probably be dead by now. However, he also knows that although he hasn't been killed by Nolan Locke yet, he has now reached an extremely dangerous point. If he can't do something, then Nolan Locke might take care of him after he returns to Earth.

Moreover, once he enters Earth, many things will be beyond his control. After all, although he feels he will never let Nolan go, and Locke will not tell him enough solutions, he can hardly imagine what kind of torture he will suffer with the power of Earth. Once he enters Earth, even if he survives, his future fate will definitely not be the same as it is now. He absolutely cannot accept such an outcome, so he must find a way to escape from Nolan and Locke before that.

Nolan Locke killed Dormammu without any hesitation, and didn't even look at Dormammu's body.

Without hesitation, he rushed straight into the dimensional rift, but he needed to solve the problem within the dimensional rift itself; otherwise, he would encounter a great deal of trouble.

Countless hellish and dark dimension landscapes below rushed towards Nolan Locke like madmen upon seeing him. Even Dormammu's death hadn't deterred them; in fact, for the dark dimensions, Nolan Locke killing Dormammu was practically theirs. In that instant, countless powerful beings from the dark dimensions surged southwards, unleashing their strongest power.

However, faced with this situation, Nolan Locke did not hesitate at all. He also unleashed the absolute power of his third-generation super soldier. In that instant, Nolan Locke burned out all his peak power, and at the same time, his magic power dropped to a lower level. Even though he did not have a high level of expertise in magic, he was still able to use some power, which was enough to support him and make his body even stronger.

Under this immense power, its speed increased rapidly, charging directly towards the opponent. There were no dark dimensions or powerful beings along the way that could stop its progress. In almost an instant, it reached the dimensional rift. Looking at the dimensional rift before him, a look of solemnity appeared in Nolan Locke's eyes. He knew that the real trouble was yet to come. If a dimensional lord appeared outside, their journey would probably not be so smooth.

……

Chapter 404, The Confident Mephisto

Although Nolan Locke had a certain premonition of what might happen next, he had no other choice now, and he was prepared for this only path. Even if there were many dimensional democracies outside, given the length of the space, it was impossible for all the powerful dimensional lords to appear inside.

Therefore, the worst-case scenario outside is indeed possible, such as top-tier dimensional lords like Mephisto and Dormammu. However, it is more likely that some lesser dimensional lords, who are not as powerful as those dimensional lords, will appear. Although these dimensional lords can still pose some threat to him, he believes that his strength is not enough to be defeated by them.

If they can break through the dimensional rift with Tony Stark and the others, the dimensional lords will lose their chance to encircle and annihilate them. Once that happens, they will be able to enter the dimensional rift in Earth's region. As long as they are within the radiation range of the three great temples, their strategy will be considered a complete victory.

After all, no dimensional lord could unleash enough power to conquer Earth even after being weakened by the three great temples. If that were the case, Earth would probably have already achieved that goal long ago.

Of course, there is also an extremely rare possibility: that all the dimensional lords unite. In such a case, even Brazil's Nolan Locke would be unable to resist. However, this is impossible, since if such a thing could happen long ago, Earth would have already been conquered.

There are conflicts between dimensional lords, and these conflicts may vary, but each lord has his own interests and goals. The real dimension is their ultimate goal, but even so, they hope to become the strong one who occupies the real dimension, rather than sharing it with others.

Even if they could share with others, sharing with everyone would be a different story. They might have 10,000 allies, but it's impossible for them all to unite. That's predetermined. Moreover, many powerful dimensional lords harbor hatred towards each other, so there's no possibility of them uniting. After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Noanlock didn't hesitate and crossed the dimension, rushing out of the dimensional rift.

The moment he stepped outside, he immediately saw Wei Donglin surrounding them. The area was indeed surrounded by dimensional lords. Many dimensional lords, upon discovering Nolan Locke and his group's presence in the dimension, had begun to surround and search them. Indeed, Nolan Locke's movements hadn't escaped the dimensional lords' notice; they had surrounded the area. Unfortunately, Koroko showed no fear. It could sense the immense power of the dimensional lords, yet it still smiled.

"You bunch of trash dare to surround us?"

Nolan wore a faint, cold smile, while the dimensional lords, upon hearing Nolan Locke's laughter, grew increasingly grim. However, at this moment, they had no intention of attacking Nolan Locke, as they all knew that Nolan Locke was extremely powerful, and whoever made the first move would inevitably be the one to suffer the consequences.

Therefore, they prefer others to go first, so that they can take advantage of the situation and resolve the issue with Jiang Nolan Locke. This would not only increase their prestige in the dimension, but also bring them smiles from many people. For them, this is a psychological game.

"Nolan Locke, don't think that just because you're powerful, you can run rampant in this dimension. This is a place where countless dimensions exist, and there are countless powerful dimensions here. You, as a lord, have no chance of escaping from us. You should know that everyone here is a lord of the dimension you built. Do you think you can escape?!"

The dimensional lord who spoke seemed to be deep in thought, but for Nogo, he didn't care at all. Locke even sneered. Just as he sneered, behind him, Tony Stark and the others had already crossed the dimension. From the crack, it could be seen that Dormammu had been killed by them. Although Du Mu possessed great power...

However, under such circumstances, the anime wood had no chance to resist and was quickly dealt with. After Duram, everyone rushed out.
