It didn't take long, only a few minutes and the power of Dormammu had completely become Cul's.
" Truth be told he wasn't that much weaker than Knull, but his power doesn't seem to have made me as powerful as I expected." says Cul as he floats in the dark dimension while checking out the condition of his body.
" My power is too great now, devouring more powerful beings won't do much good, along with the side effects of devouring it best I save it for the gems." Says Cul.
"Sigh, the years have been long, but the time is fast approaching, and the closer it gets the easier it is for things to go wrong, just a few more months and things will be over." Cul says calmly as his eyes shined with ambition and longing.
As he was focused on his thoughts and the upcoming final battle, a portal appeared behind him and two figures existed.
" Dad, why didn't you take the gem from him?? that stupid trick wouldn't work on you right?" a cheerful voice echoed in his ears.
And with it, a smile appeared as he turned to face his children.
" Alice, obviously father has his own plans what the use in questioning him?" his son asked.
" It's alright, I'll tell you both why I left him with the gems, You both should know of Thanos right?" Cul questioned.
" The fool who wants to destroy half the life in the universe?" Alice asked tilting her head.
" The mad titan?" His son asked.
" Indeed, he is a fool and he is mad, but his goal would be achieved normally, but he has a clash of interests with me.
You see we both want the infinity stones, and only one of us can have it, and since he plans to find them, I plan to let him find the others and when he steps foot on Earth for the time stone I'll take everything he has and then take the time stone for myself.
He will do all the heavy lifting and make all the sacrifices needed to get the stones, and J will take them in the end.' says Cul.
" So how much longer, before everything is in place for your final phase to begin father?" Alice asked.
" Before the end of the year, there will be a new ruler of this universe." says Cul.

(On Earth)
The events of the battle between Strange and Dormammu weren't deeply felt, as the people present didn't even remember it, but S.H.E.I.L.D remembers and takes it seriously.
After losing one of his best agents to Cul Fury had doubled down on completing his avengers team but things were proving to be far more complicated than he had imagined.
Tony stark the playboy hadn't joined the team, Thor had left earth and hadn't returned, leaving his team currently with only one reluctance member in Dr. Banner also known as the hulk.
Strange after being expelled from the dark dimension by Cul had returned to the remaining sanctum trying to learn more about the future and the power of the time gem.
And while all of this was happening no one knew Cul had already sent his people to take the other infinity gem on earth apart from the time gem, while he and his children had already returned to the serpent realm.
(Serpent realm)
Cul was now sitting on his throne again looking through the vastness of the universe until his eyes landed on Thanos in his ship traveling towards his final destination before heading to earth.
"He's going for the mind gem, good things should happen in the correct time frame." says Cul as he stopped observing Thanos and turned his attention to the earth.
"It seems I'll be getting another gem soon." he said as he smile.
"Status." Cul called out.
