"I will definitely kill you and bring the Dark Dimension to this world."
Upon seeing the silence from the Ancient One, Kaecilius seemed to become even more agitated: "You said all pain could be healed, yet you taught us only trivial tricks... hiding the true secrets!"
"This is a path of no return, Kaecilius."
The Ancient One looked at the disciple who had turned against him and sighed with persuasion.
"I don't think so," Kaecilius scoffed at first, then his expression suddenly turned cold: "What you selfishly kept to yourself is what Lord Dormammu shares with us!"
"That is... the great immortality!"
Kaecilius said somewhat fanatically: "I do not see him as the destroyer of the world; on the contrary, Lord Dormammu is the savior of all things. Only he can free all worlds from the sad curse of time, allowing eternity to persist and all beings to achieve immortality..."
"That's just his deception."
The Ancient One said: "He feeds on people's fears, and your actions now only serve to strengthen his power..."
"That's better than you secretly stealing Lord Dormammu's power."
Kaecilius said: "Do you remember what I looked like when I first joined you? Confused, heartbroken, helpless. I trusted and respected you as a mentor, but what did you do? You are the real deceiver, enjoying eternal life alone while watching us age and die!"
"I am protecting you."
The Ancient One said.
"Oh?" Kaecilius sneered in response: "You consider a fleeting life as protection for us?"
"I just don't want you to destroy yourself."
The Ancient One looked at Kaecilius with a complex expression: "You have not seen the true nature of Dormammu. The Dark Dimension will devour all living beings and hope, and what Dormammu grants you is not eternity, but torment..."
"Is that so? Then..."
Kaecilius smiled noncommittally, but before he could finish his sentence, a flippant and delicate voice interrupted him.
"...then, how about trying to believe in me for a change?"
Kaecilius turned his head sharply, only to see Fang Mo standing beside the Ancient One with a smile on his face: "I can offer you eternity as well as torment, and if you wish, eternal torment is not out of the question..."
"You..."
Kaecilius frowned, sensing the other's strength through the Dark Mark bestowed by Dormammu.
He dared to be bold in front of the Ancient One, after all, the opponent was still a human, and he had also drawn power from the Dark Dimension, so he should not be much weaker than his opponent. However, facing an immensely powerful dimensional demon god, Kaecilius had to weigh his own strength. Since the opponent could physically descend to Earth, it was definitely not something a mere demon god devotee like himself could easily provoke.
"Do you not worship Dormammu for eternity?"
Seeing Kaecilius's solemn expression, Fang Mo was also very amiable: "I can do that too, surpassing time and space is a basic operation for us Old Lords..."
"Old Lords?"
Kaecilius seemed a bit puzzled after hearing this.
"We are the beginning and the end of the stars, existing simultaneously in the present, the future, and the past. We are the Outer Gods, the beings that govern the old days." Fang Mo's flippant tone suddenly became dignified: "Do you not crave power? Then I shall grant you power! Forsake the meaningless darkness, submit to the eternal joy, immortal life, endless power, and... the untouchable peace in your heart."
Speaking of which,
Fang Mo's body lit up with a brilliant white light.
Kaecilius and his followers instinctively shielded their eyes.
However, the expected attack did not come. Instead, a power that was indescribable surged into their bodies.
This power was so pure, clear, and incredibly strong that Kaecilius, for a moment, even felt as if he could dominate everything. Whether it was the control over the mirror space, the magic power surging within him, or even the clarity of his thoughts, all of it was infinitely amplified.
"This is..."
Kaecilius seemed a bit stunned upon seeing this.
However, unlike Kaecilius, the mages following him looked excited. This power was much stronger than what Dormammu had given them. They had studied dark magic for the sake of immortality. Now possessing such great power, they excitedly turned their heads to look at Kaecilius.
"Do you know why I am here?"
Seeing the stunned look on Kaecilius's face, Fang Mo also asked with a smile.
"Why?"
Kaecilius asked instinctively.
"Because I am prepared to cleanse the six realms, sweep across the eight desolations, win the hearts of the masses, and be admired from all directions," Fang Mo said with a mischievous face. "What Dormammu can give you, I can give; what Dormammu can't give you, I can also give."
Saying this, Fang Mo slowly raised his arms.
Pure white, pitch black, ghastly green, crimson red, gray silence, and deep gloom - six grand timespaces interlaced and overlapped behind him, ultimately forming a scene that was absurd yet enormously grand.
"This..."
Kaecilius instantly showed an incredulous expression: "What? Six... How is this possible!?"
Yes, according to the rules of Marvel, a normal dimension demon can only control one dimension. Even strong entities like Dormammu, the Scarlet Witch Wanda, and the hell lord Mephisto are the same. If one wants to become stronger, one must control one's own dimension to devour other worlds and continuously strengthen one's own dimension. One cannot possess multiple different dimensions at the same time.
Kaecilius, after all, was an old mage and naturally knew these things, so he was so shocked upon seeing the dimensions behind Fang Mo.
Most importantly... these dimensions were not the kind of small dimensions like gaps between dimensions but completely boundless spaces, as vast and endless as the abyss, even calling them universes would not be an exaggeration. This was almost identical to Dormammu's dark space.
Six dimensions of the same scale as the Dark Dimension?
What a joke.
Honestly, Kaecilius felt he didn't even know what to do anymore. The courage to resist desperately vanished in an instant, and he could only stand there blankly.
He could even feel it.
Those dimensions were vaguely emitting a spine-chilling aura.
Obviously, the human in front of him was probably just an avatar of the other party, and as for the other party's true body... it was probably blocked outside by the temple's barrier. Otherwise, everything on Earth would be instantly devoured by him, just like what Dormammu did to other worlds, after all, that is a great terror that transcends time and space.
And while Kaecilius was at a loss, Fang Mo spoke again.
He looked down at the group of dark mages from a high position, exuding an aura that made it difficult for them to defy, though his face still wore a friendly and approachable smile, but it made the group of dark mages extremely fearful.
"Kneel down, and pledge allegiance to me."
Upon hearing this, Kaecilius hesitated for a moment, but his subordinates had already been thoroughly subdued by the opponent's power. Without a second thought, they prostrated themselves on the ground, their voices trembling with excitement as they spouted a barrage of words pledging their loyalty, fearing to anger the mysterious and unfathomable demon god before them.
Fang Mo didn't trouble them further, simply nodding his head before turning his gaze towards Kaecilius.
Kaecilius immediately felt an immense pressure.
"..."
After a slight hesitation, Kaecilius ultimately chose to submit.
In his view, the current situation was clearly unfavorable to him. Although he truly believed in Dormammu's great strength and was aware of the consequences of betraying him, the problem was... if he didn't do this now, he was sure to die.
It should be noted that the opponent was also a Dimensional Demon God, whose strength was very formidable, even comparable to that of the Crimson Cosmos's Surtur... To him, Kaecilius was as inconsequential as an ant, easily killed. Even if Dormammu planned to be his enemy later, it wouldn't matter, as Kaecilius would already be dead.
With this in mind, Kaecilius could only lower his head: "Great Old One, I offer you my loyalty..."
"Good, successfully undermined."
Hearing this, Fang Mo nodded in satisfaction, then lifted a finger, and a sinister green light instantly penetrated Kaecilius's body.
Having just been taught by the Ancient One, Fang Mo had also roughly mastered some methods of manipulating dimensions. Although he might not compare to some veteran Dimensional Demon Gods, he had indeed learned some standard techniques, like granting power.
Although the temple's barrier weakened the power from other dimensions to some extent, the dimension in Fang Mo's hand came from the MC world, materialized into reality. The MC dimension has a characteristic, that is, theoretically, its scale is almost infinite... Those lesser dimensions couldn't compare with his, so Fang Mo's authority was only somewhat weakened, but still usable.
Suddenly, Kaecilius, not far away, grunted, and then his body underwent a transformation.
The sinister green energy from the Abyssal Wastelands surged and pulsed within him.
Kaecilius looked down to see a square, dark green mark appearing out of nowhere on his palm, where an inexplicable power was continuously gathering. This power was damp and cold, like a cluster of softly glowing, bright green coral.
Kaecilius could feel the profound and complex nature of this power as it continuously merged with his body.
This power was indescribably grand and transcendent.
It even dispelled most of the dark energy within Kaecilius's body.
Before long, Kaecilius's body became pale and cold, resembling a damp snake, with traces of corruption by dark magic disappearing, replaced by a pair of bright green vertical pupils, and his breath carried a moist, cold white mist.
"This power..."
Kaecilius's face showed surprise; he could feel that he had established a connection with the Abyss. The Abyss was eternal, and so would he be, delving into its depths.
"Do you like it?"
Just as Kaecilius was astonished by this power, Fang Mo spoke again from afar: "Now you are... hmm, Deep Dwellers, I grant you power and immortality."
"Thank our Lord!"
The other mages exclaimed excitedly.
"Our Lord…"
However, compared to these other minor figures, Kaecilius did possess some intelligence. Despite also desiring eternal life, he knew that such power wouldn't be bestowed upon him without reason. Thus, after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Do you...require us to do something for you?"
"Have you ever heard of the term 'mole'?" Fang Mo asked directly.
"Mole?" Kaecilius was familiar with the term, synonymous with traitor, which he loathed. He had previously considered Gu Yi a traitor, but now, hearing it mentioned suddenly, he was somewhat confused: "I'm familiar with the term."
"Good to know," Fang Mo nodded and said, "Your next task is to become a mole."
"Become a... mole?"
Kaecilius was perplexed: "A mole for what?"
"Become a mole for Dormammu," Fang Mo said with a smile. "Isn't he always trying to devour Earth? And he enlisted a few of you to assist him, so just continue doing his bidding."
"...What?"
Hearing this, not only Kaecilius but also the other minor characters lying on the ground were dumbfounded. Were they being asked to help combat Dormammu? Wasn't that essentially a suicide mission?
"This, my lord..."
Kaecilius hesitated, asking, "May I ask why?"
"You've seen it yourself; I've already devoured many dimensional demons," Fang Mo gestured to the endlessly shifting scenes behind him: "Now, I've set my sights on Dormammu and his Dark Dimension."
"Uh..."
"In the regions outside the multiverse, it's like a dark forest, where every dimensional demon is a hunter armed with a gun," Fang Mo solemnly rambled on: "Whoever gets discovered... becomes the prey, attacked, devoured, along with their dimension, becoming nourishment for other beings."
"Is that so?"
After listening, Kaecilius was truly alarmed. He didn't think Fang Mo was lying, given that the latter's power seemed indisputably real, suggesting he possessed strength at least on par with Dormammu's.
"You think I have designs on Earth, right?"
Fang Mo, discerning Kaecilius's thoughts, revealed a smile: "I really couldn't care less about this tiny planet, but... to find prey, one must first find its prey, right?"
Hearing this, Kaecilius felt a cold sweat breaking out.
So, the other party had already planned everything, knowing Dormammu intended to devour Earth, and simply used this as a scheme to target him, and then capture and devour him... Was this person too terrifying?
"But, my lord..."
Though he thought this, Kaecilius was still afraid of Dormammu, so he quickly said, "We are but insignificant specks of dust, how can we deceive another dimensional demon's eyes?"
"Yes, yes..."
The other mages hurriedly agreed, pleading for mercy: "Please spare our lives, my lord!"
"Who the hell asked you to stab your master in the back?" Fang Mo rolled his eyes, exasperated: "Can't you even be a proper mole? What use do I have for you..."
"Please enlighten us!"
Kaecilius, showing some wit, immediately knelt before Fang Mo: "We are foolish and unaware of your profound intentions."
"Weren't you already humanity's moles?" Fang Mo reminded: "When dimensional demons invaded, you directly acted as guides, betraying humanity. Just continue leading them, bring them into our encirclement…"
