The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 436 Darkness

Wes knew that light was often the most effective weapon against dark creatures.

He emitted a soft white light, like the warm spring sun, which shone on the ordinary people, making them feel as if they were soaking in a warm hot spring, and their fatigue and fear instantly disappeared.

However, to those dark creatures, this white light was like scalding sulfuric acid; the slightest touch would cause them to howl in agony.

The light emanated from Wes and spread rapidly like ripples. Wherever it reached, countless dark creatures were purified, turning into wisps of black smoke that dissipated into the air.

Wes stood alone, like an impregnable fortress, and single-handedly held off the massive army that had poured out of the Dark Dimension, greatly relieving the pressure on the other wizards.

At this moment, everyone's hopes were pinned on Strange, hoping that he could successfully drive away Dormammu and end the crisis completely.

A few minutes later, Strange was scrambled out of the Dark Dimension in a sorry state.

Surprisingly, with his appearance, the Dark Dimension stopped its invasion, and the sky over Hong Kong gradually returned to its normal state.

"Phew," Strange let out a long breath, a relieved smile spreading across his face. "That wasn't easy, was it?"

"How did you do that?"

Wang asked with a face full of curiosity. After all, Dormammu wasn't the kind of person who was easy to talk to.

Moreover, the power gap between Strange and Dormammu is so vast.

"Some little tricks."

Strange smiled and kept everyone in suspense.

In fact, in the process of dealing with Dormammu, he cleverly used the laws of time to trap himself and Dormammu in a time loop.

In this endless cycle of reincarnation, he experienced countless ways of dying, constantly trying to negotiate with Dormammu.

Dormammu, unwilling to be trapped in an infinite time loop with Strange, agreed to leave Earth.

The law of time truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most powerful laws. Even a dimensional lord like Dormammu was helpless against Strange's masterful use of the law of time.

"That's amazing."

Wes looked at Strange with genuine admiration in his eyes.

Although he possessed the insights from the Ancient One's cultivation of the Time Law, he only had a superficial understanding of this mysterious and unpredictable law.

He couldn't help but admire Strange's masterful use of the laws of time.

The other wizards gathered around, their eyes filled with respect, and bowed to Strange in unison.

Strange's successful expulsion of Dormammu undoubtedly earned him their sincere respect and recognition.

From this moment on, Strange truly took over the title of Sorcerer Supreme, officially becoming the guardian of Earth and shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting this blue planet from invasion by other dimensions.

However, although the crisis has been temporarily averted, there are still many thorny issues that need to be addressed.

The first priority is to rebuild the three sanctuaries and rearrange the barriers to prevent further invasion from other dimensions.

This requires a significant investment of manpower, resources, and time.

Wes watched all this quietly, having fulfilled his promise, and then turned and left without a sound.

He only came here to fulfill his promise to the Ancient One, and now that things have come to an end, there is no longer anything for him here.

Dormammu's defeat served as a powerful signal, making those powerful beings who were secretly observing realize that although the new Sorcerer Supreme might not be as powerful as the Ancient One, he was by no means an easy opponent.

Those who wish to plot against Earth must wait for the right opportunity.

For these ancient and powerful beings, the one thing they have in abundance is time and patience.

In the endless river of time, they can lie dormant quietly, waiting for that perfect moment that may never come.

With the protective barrier around Earth breached, the evil creatures of Hell, the Abyss, and other dimensions keenly sensed this as a golden opportunity.

Like sharks that have smelled blood, before the wizards could repair the barrier, hordes of demons, monsters, and other evil creatures crossed the spatial boundary and flooded into the Earth like a tide.

To these evil creatures, Earth is like a delicious cake exuding an enticing sweet aroma; its abundant life energy and beautiful world are constantly tempting them.

Although these evil creatures, individually, may not cause much trouble, their sheer numbers are enough to give the wizards of Kamar-Taj a major headache.

They are scattered all over the world, causing chaos.

Suddenly, fire-breathing demons appeared in the cities, and soul-devouring devils emerged in the countryside.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

The appearance of these legendary, terrifying creatures has once again strongly impacted people's worldview.

No matter how hard the government and media try to refute the rumors, people are more willing to believe the facts they see with their own eyes.

Many people took out their phones to record these horrific scenes and uploaded them online.

Although the government acted swiftly, deleting the videos and even banning their uploading, the public's memory cannot be easily erased.

One person's memory, passed down by word of mouth, can quickly become the memory of hundreds or thousands of people.

This is like a spark that, once ignited, spreads like wildfire, and panic begins to spread among the people.

In this chaotic and panicked situation, people desperately needed a spiritual refuge, and religion, an organization that has existed since the dawn of humanity, once again became a beacon in the darkness, receiving enthusiastic support from the people.

Christianity, as the religion with the largest number of believers among all religions, has become a haven for people seeking solace.

Countless people, whether they were originally devout believers or ordinary people who did not usually believe in religion, flooded into the church like a tide.

With trepidation and awe, they prayed fervently in the church, beseeching God to extend a helping hand, save them from their suffering, and restore peace to the world.

However, these ordinary people did not know that the barrier set up by the Ancient One had a function that went far beyond defending against evil forces in the Dark Dimension, the Abyss, and Hell.

This powerful barrier even keeps out the highest gods.

In the Ancient One's view, this might be to maintain the balance and independence of the Earth, and to prevent the human world from being subjected to too much interference from the divine realm.

However, now that the barrier is damaged, this hidden truth, though unknown to the public, is subtly influencing the development of the entire situation.

Those who flock to churches to pray may feel increasingly panicked and confused when God does not respond to their prayers.
