Chapter 228: Why should I pay it back if I borrowed it with my own ability?
A low, hoarse sound echoed with a strange interweaving sound.

"Your world is mine, just like the others."

As if victory was just around the corner, Dormammu proudly announced his victory in advance.
The next moment, He saw again the disdain and mockery that Link unconsciously revealed.
Wait, why do you say again?

Dormammu, the proud Lord of the Dark Dimension, was in a state of daze at this moment.

An inexplicable sense of familiarity gradually began to spread, but this feeling was extremely slight and difficult to detect.
At least from this moment on, Dormammu began to feel something strange, but soon returned to normal.
He is God!

And ants should maintain the utmost reverence and awe for God!

Dormammu roared angrily, and everything in the surrounding space, including some of the matter belonging to the dark dimension, twisted and squirmed along with Dormammu's anger.
"Damn ant, how dare you do this!"

"go to hell!!!"

The next moment, accompanied by Dormammu's roar,

In the dark dimensional space around Link, narrow purple crystal spikes condensed and gathered out of thin air.

But this time, when Dormammu controlled these crystal spikes formed by the energy of the dark dimension and prepared to attack Link,

Link suddenly disappeared from the spot.

That's right, it disappeared out of thin air.

In Dormammu's "perception",
Dormammu, the Lord of the Dark Dimension, is actually in his own territory. He is familiar with and can clearly perceive everything that happens in this dark dimension.
Not noticing the disappearance of an ant at all?

This is undoubtedly a slap in Dormammu's face!
At this moment, Dormammu finally realized that this enemy was no ordinary person and must be taken seriously!

It seemed as if he had some means that he could not even discover, which quietly caused all the chaos before his eyes.
The unknown is the greatest fear.

Dormammu was shocked that such an ant in front of him had means that he had never noticed, and could actually affect himself, the most dimensional demon god.

He continued to roar angrily, as if to vent his inner rage.

The dark dimension space also began to fluctuate along with the emotions of the Lord of the Dimension, and the increasingly manic dark dimension energy began to boil.
Looking for Link like crazy,

However, Dormammu seemed to be watching without noticing.

The dark purple crystal arrowhead that was shot out due to his anger hit the crystal thorn forest formed by Link's position just now.

Link, still maintaining an indifferent attitude, was sitting on top of it.

The sharp part of the hard dark purple crystal arrowhead below was smoothed and regularized by an invisible powerful force, forming a throne made of dark purple crystal arrowheads.
Looking at the furious Dormammu calmly, Link spoke softly.
"Is that all?"

"You've lived in vain for so many years."

Faced with such ridicule, Dormammu did not yell and scream as he did before, roaring without restraint to vent his inner dissatisfaction.

Instead, he stared at Link in front of him, his huge humanoid face twisted and twirled, gritting his teeth, and a harsh sound echoed, "What did you do!?"

"Damn ants!"

However, Link just smiled calmly and spoke slowly.
"It seems that you have already felt it?"

In fact, Dormammu's reaction at this moment was indeed within Link's expectations.
The same conversation had been repeated no less than a thousand times, although most of the time, Link made completely different choices.

And during most of this time, Dormammu's keen perception as a dimensional demon god is gradually playing a role.
He has begun to notice the abnormal flow of time around him, and the scenes in front of his eyes are becoming clearer and clearer, as if he has experienced them countless times.

Possessing the Infinity Stones that can tamper with the underlying rules of the entire universe,
The [Time Stone] is the most magical Infinity Stone.

It represents the most illusory and unreachable existence in the universe——【time】.
The mystery of time is extremely complex, and at the same time, the convenience brought by the use of the time gem is also extremely demanding.

As the ancient supreme sorcerer, Ancient One, when she possessed the Eye of Agamotto that sealed the Time Stone, she rarely used this forbidden power.

It is more about using the Eye of Agamotto to peek into the future, to prevent humanity from falling into an uncontrollable and unpredictable abyss.

Ancient One advocates that people follow the laws of nature and rarely uses the power of the [Time Stone]. She knows very well how intoxicating its power is and how great its temptation is.
And the huge consequences on the timeline.

And using the power of the [Time Stone] also requires paying a huge price.

The wider the scope of the modification, the longer the time, and the different objects and targets involved in the modification will always affect the cost of using the [Time Gem].

But this is not a problem for Link at all. Of course, he also drew inspiration from Doctor Strange from another dimensional universe.
With the strength you have,
The price paid for using the [Time Stone] in this dark dimension was transferred to Dormammu, the demon god of the dimension.

This also means that in this repeated time cycle,
Dormammu also felt his dimensional energy being consumed rapidly, and gradually realized that something was wrong.

But it was too late. Doctor Strange from another dimension had a fragile body and low early developmental strength. He was often tortured by Dormammu. Ordinary people could not endure the pain. He relied solely on his superhuman will and used the time loop to force Dormammu to "negotiate".
Enter the game personally.

But Link, who has great power, is not fragile. He will not be killed by Dormammu as easily as crushing an ant.
In the continuous time cycle, Link becomes more and more adept at controlling the [Time Stone].

After countless repetitions, Dormammu, who had become completely numb, faced a new round of repetitions.
He took the initiative to stop what he was doing.
"Human, we need to talk."

Link smiled, unmoved.
But Dormammu was anxious. This place was just an extension of his dark dimension. If he was trapped here forever, not to mention the demons from other dimensions who were eyeing him covetously,

Or wait until your dimensional energy is exhausted - that's basically the same as death.
It's too late for everything.

The anxious Dormammu lowered himself again and again to talk with Link.

After paying an unexpected price, Dormammu was somewhat confused.
Because Link, like the Ancient One, signed a contract with Dormammu, but it was not exactly the same.
It seems that Link is continuously transmitting the energy of the dark dimension unilaterally, while Dormammu himself does not gain any benefit.
However, facing Dormammu's questioning, Link could not deny it.

"I borrowed it with my own ability, why should I pay it back?"
