Chapter 229 [Eternal Furnace]

The arrogant Dormammu was finally conquered by Link.
To be precise, it is to succumb to the power of the Infinity Stones, a powerful creation that can change the underlying rules of the universe.

The endless cycle of time, and maintaining this torturous cycle, is precisely consuming Dormammu's own energy.

Although as the lord of the dark dimension of the seven dimensions, Dormammu's power and the endless energy of the dark dimension are already beyond the imagination of ordinary people,
While being "imprisoned" by Link in a time period that continues to loop, Dormammu's dark dimension has not stopped expanding and invading other planets.

Just like the black matter falling from the sky, the lives that were eroded, enslaved and assimilated by the dark dimension attacked each other, causing the originally peaceful world to fall into a dark paradise.

Countless lives and consciousnesses wailed, but all became part of the "Dark Dimension", Dormammu's nourishment and source of power.
But this does not mean that Dormammu can rest easy. On the contrary, Dormammu can even be said to be a little panicked at this moment.

As an ancient existence that has gone through countless years,
As for the concept of time, He still remains at a relatively superficial level. After all, as dimensional demon gods, their life span is almost endless.
During these nearly endless years, these dimensional demons have undoubtedly pursued true supremacy and immortality.
They crave for the supreme power, to achieve true eternity and immortality, to be immortal, to live as long as the heavens, and even to transcend this universe.

The upper limit of this universe is already clear. The strength of a single universe can only be regarded as escaping from the ranks of ants in the entire infinite multiverse, and becoming a strong ant that is not to be slaughtered.

They long for a wider world and see the true infinity.
After all, you have to know that even the five founding gods of the universe may be killed, or be sealed, imprisoned, bound and have their power extracted for various inexplicable reasons and reasons...

Well, I’m talking about a big purple foodie wearing a helmet, the “Gourmet of Planets” who is the shame of the true God.

But at this moment, Dormammu does not need to think too much about these unattainable things. These things are just Dormammu's inner ambitions.

Therefore, the cruel torture of that time from the perspective of ordinary humans is nothing to Dormammu.
What really made him feel uneasy and panic was not these.

What He needs to worry about is the guys in the other six dimensions,
After all, Dormammu, who was forcibly "controlled" by the Time Stone, was consuming his own power every moment and every time he experienced a time cycle.
I will only become weaker and weaker, and my consciousness is trapped in this unknown place.

I don't know how long I will be entangled with such an "ant".
It's like keeping a hawk alive - except Link is keeping Dormammu alive on his own:

Either Dormammu runs out of energy and can no longer drive the time loop, but if that happens, Link will have the possibility of killing Dormammu.
Either Link could not bear this long and long time loop and took the initiative to break the time loop, but this was impossible.

Because it is not Link himself who is in this time loop with Dormammu.

It is an isotope formed by the [Vacle of Janus (Purple (Rare)]],
There is no torture for Link at all. He just needs to watch Dormammu's state like a goldfish eternally bound in a fish tank. When he feels like it, he can switch his consciousness perspective and have some fun.

Therefore, from the very beginning, this was an unequal death trap.
Dormammu fully understood the seriousness of this problem, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally chose to admit defeat.
Signed such an unequal contract with Link.

Regardless of whether Dormammu was unwilling or not, the situation forced him to do so.
God knows how weak he will be when he returns to the world.
The creator of "white magic" is Vishanti, the lord of the dimension that Kamar-Taj and the Ancient One practice and respect. He is an ancient god who symbolizes the trinity of "omnipotence", "omniscience" and "all-seeing". He is the source of "white magic" in the entire multiverse.

In a sense, he is one of Dormammu's main enemies.

The ruler of the Crimson Universe, Cytorak, the originator of the power of fear, claims to be invincible within his own territory.

And the cunning and sly demon - Mephisto. The strange resurrection of the dead on Earth and the flaming skeletons driving motorcycles are basically his work. He deceives innocent humans into walking into the contract trap he has constructed and becomes Mephisto's vengeful evil spirits and undead knights.

The god of the underworld, Xisorn, has been silent and has no activities on the surface. It is unknown what evil plans he is making behind the scenes.

And all those other messy monsters,
However, it still goes as the saying goes, "There are no eternal friends, only immediate interests."
There are irreconcilable contradictions between the seven dimensions, and they are eyeing each other covetously.

These ancient beings with long life spans use the Earth as a chessboard for their mutual games.

Choose your own pawns and deliver those seemingly perfect gifts of power, but in fact they are full of loopholes and are the contracts of the ultimate black-hearted slave owners.

Playing chess with these chess pieces, you can also peek into the planet that is hiding endless mysteries at this moment.

As always, they have been fighting overtly and covertly over the long years, and gradually developed the habits of old foxes.

It seems harmonious and delicately balanced, but the facts hidden behind it are different.

Therefore, Dormammu was bound and imprisoned here, which not only made him, the Lord of the Dark Dimension, a joke, but also exposed his own flaws.

That is the source of His existence - the dark dimension.
Without Dormammu's subjective control and leadership, the Dark Dimension can only be regarded as a group of endless appetites, a "glutton" that can only devour, erode and assimilate mechanically and repeatedly.
My hometown is empty and I am afraid that my home will be robbed one day.

There might be a guy who can take out some weird spell he saw from somewhere and completely destroy himself from the source!

And in this endless loop/corridor, Dormammu is unable to cause any real harm to Link.

So, in this long and eternal time, Dormammu has been circling the years.
I gradually understood a truth, a most profound truth:

Don't provoke those seemingly ordinary beings at will.

The former Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One made Dormammu realize that even as a mortal, there is a chance to break through the limitations of his conventional assumptions.
But Link made Dormammu completely put away his contempt, no matter from which angle you consider it.

At this moment, Link silently felt the ocean of his consciousness.
The trinity of glowing shadows, and the "black ball" that appeared in front of the shadows at some point, as if to absorb and devour everything around them,
The majestic tearing feeling and the faint screaming,

The dark dimensional energy of Dormammu slowly dissipated, and the dark material particles were tightly bound by the glowing phantom of the Trinity. The glowing phantom with endless faces was Link's "true body".
To be precise, it is the embodiment of Link's conceptual power, the "template".
"It seems that you are still not honest enough..."

Link spoke in a deep voice.
Obviously, Dormammu is not willing to just become Link's tool for extracting energy, an ATM with unlimited balance.
How could he, a dimensional demon god, fall into Link's hands?
There is a kind of spirit of "How can a real man living between heaven and earth be depressed and inferior to others for long?"

Dormammu, who had been sleeping on straw and eating bitter food, gradually carried out his plan in secret.

It's just that he seemed a little too impatient, forgetting that Link himself was not the kind of foolish person who would get carried away after winning.

While continuing to deliver a steady stream of dark dimension energy to Link in a long-term and stable manner as agreed in the contract,
Link could clearly feel the miserable soul inside, screaming and wailing.

Dormammu's ambition to erode and assimilate did not stop there. The energy of the dark dimension contained countless soul fragments of tortured and extremely painful deaths, mixed with the malice of the abyss's corruption.
For other creatures with independent consciousness, these things are undoubtedly the ultimate poison that must not be touched, a thorn in the flesh.

It will corrode and assimilate, causing living beings to degenerate and become part of the dark dimension.

But unfortunately, for Link, who has a great bewitching effect on his spiritual consciousness and one of the six infinite gems, the [Mind Gem],

These are just "appetizers" before the main meal, and they can't cause any impact at all.

But this does not mean that Link will choose to let it go.

Everything has a price, and he will make Dormammu aware of that.

The next moment, within Link's Trinity of endless glowing shadow,

A marvelous light symbolizing the four elements gushed out from the shadow. These are the fundamental concepts of earth, wind, water, and fire, and are also the source of elemental power.
The four-color light surrounds the dark dimension energy source in the center which is still in a state of continuous gushing.
Then, the elemental light formed a nearly perfect "ring".
The dark dimensional energy source, which is as black as ink and exudes an ominous aura, is surrounded and wrapped as if it were coated with a layer of protective shell. To be precise, it is a restraint and control system.

Dormammu was still secretly delighted, dreaming of an impossible fantasy, hoping that Link would be washed away by so much dark energy that his personality and consciousness would be distorted and changed, and eventually he would fall.

Even if it just adds some unhappiness and trouble to Link, it is enough to make Dormammu happy.
The pain and suffering I have experienced in this long and long cycle of time,
He swore revenge!

All we are doing now is just collecting some interest in advance.
Unexpectedly, Dormammu became more and more proud.
Even Dormammu may not have realized that in these long and long years, Link is one of the few beings who can influence his consciousness and emotions in this way.
How many doubts are there?

But soon, Dormammu could no longer laugh. As always, the huge energy channel hub still maintained a very high flux.

The endless supply of dark dimension energy seemed to be free, leaking out in large quantities, like desperately draining all the energy in the dark dimension like a fish in a dried-up pond.
It's getting worse and worse, without any concealment,

Dormammu's smile froze. He received this "passage" in a rage. Although he was extremely angry at Link, he had to try his best to suppress his impatience and speak in a calm tone.

"What are you doing!?"

Unexpectedly, Link did not respond verbally, but continued to draw energy from the dark dimension step by step without stopping.

Even Dormammu was confused. He really couldn't figure out why Link was doing this at the moment?
So much dark dimension energy is consumed, there must be a place for it to go, right?

Could it be... that he is playing a resurrection match with Ancient One! ?
Thinking of this, Dormammu felt an inexplicable palpitation and a little scared.
It was as if there was a chill on his back, and a cold gaze coming from the endless void behind him was staring at him.

But on the other side, Link's actions did not stop.

The elemental power that gushed out from the glowing shadow became the best shackle to restrain the energy of the dark dimension.
And after being "filtered" by [Magic Resistance (Rare (Purple)] and [Energy Absorption (Rare (Purple)]],
The energy of the dark dimension was transformed into a relatively pure substance similar to energy without attributes.

This energy is extremely malleable and universal.
Like a barrel of gasoline, it is filled with a powerful V12 engine made of four elements.

The energy framework composed of four elements and the perfect energy system structure are the precision machine pistons that are ready to go and run at high speed.

Let the attributeless energy that is continuously transformed operate stably according to all the preset requirements.

As time passes by,
In Link's turbulent ocean of consciousness, apart from the glowing phantom of the Trinity that seemed to stand forever,

A perfect arc, the four elements complement each other, and endless energy surges and circulates in it.

Link looked at the one he had successfully constructed, which he had carefully designed and had been looking forward to for a long time, with some surprise.

【Forge of Eternity】

It continuously draws energy from Dormammu's dark dimension, and then filters it through [Magic Resistance (Rare (Purple))] and [Energy Absorption (Rare (Purple))].
It is transformed and utilized by the four elements of "earth, wind, water and fire" and fed back to Link.

This is undoubtedly the realization of a "perpetual motion machine" in a certain sense.
However, Dormammu became the cornerstone of this great miracle.

To add bricks and tiles to Link's next grand plan...
