With a booming "bang", countless magic brilliance-formed meteors passed through the shattered dimensional space. In an instant, soldiers fell like chaff, and countless wailings and screams resonated in the multiverse. Then, the angry voice of Dormammu trembled through the cosmos:
"The Ancient One!! It's you again!!!!"
Faster than him, hellfire blazed from the Underworld, and the massive silhouette of Mephisto descended onto the center of the battlefield. He faced The Ancient One directly; his voice was hoarse and deepest, filled with the evil characteristic of Hell's Master:
"Leave here, Ancient One, this is not your place to come, our dispute has nothing to do with you!"
"You are wrong, Mephisto. There's no place in this cosmos where I shouldn't be." The Ancient One's voice was as resounding as a bell, demonstrating a heart-stirring calmness and iciness.
The yellow robe fluttered, and innumerable dazzling magic crystals, like a rain of swords, shot towards Mephisto. Dormammu filled with hatred said: "Is the Supreme Magician also participating in this war? If you are so determined, be careful not to bring irreparable disaster to you and your race!"
The Ancient One's response remained arrogantly as always: "If you are all dead, there will be no disaster in the cosmos, Thunder!"
Many demon gods who had not seen The Ancient One involuntarily stepped back. Although they didn't know why she had gone mad, clearly, the Supreme Magician wanted to take on two opponents at the same time.
Just then, a power of light enveloped The Ancient One, and the figure of Emperor Mount Wey appeared in the cosmos, carrying an invincible strong power. One of the three demon gods spoke: "All leave here, do not make the situation worse."
"Emperor Mount Wey..." Mephisto looked at Mount Wey with some trepidation. He clearly intended to support The Ancient One. Many demon gods contemplated retreat. Multiverse-level guardians weren't easily provoked. And most of the stronger demons knew that behind Emperor Mount Wey stood Eternity.
But at this moment, The Ancient One took action, and Dormammu and Mephisto, not to be outdone, released the brilliance of magic, dark energy, and hellfire all at once, which instantly spread to several surrounding dimensions.
Emperor Mount Wey wanted to call The Ancient One to stop, but he also didn't know why The Ancient One was determined to fight with the Dimensional Demon God. Just then, a blood moon descended from the sky carrying the Power of Deep Red. When the crimson brilliance illuminated the world, time froze.
Emperor Mount Wey looked into mid-air. Setorak's figure didn't appear, but the shadows of those enormous cities in the Crimson Dimension started to become faintly noticeable in the sky.
Meanwhile, the Power of Light intensified. White and red forces violently clashed in the dimension. Countless demon gods were completely shattered before they could gaze directly at this glamorous sight.
In the lower spaces, The Ancient One, Mephisto, and Dormammu fought back and forth. In an even more remote battlefield, Hela and Baldur didn't stop.
Just then, a golden lightning bolt split the battlefield. The Father of All Gods, Odin, stood at the bow of a great warship, saying, "Hela, stop your destructive behavior; it won't lead to any results!"
"Hypocrisy." Hela gave Odin two words and continued to manipulate the infinite Power of the Undead to attack.
With Odin's arrival, the battle situation on this side of the battlefield escalated. The Power of Thunder that could shatter everything had changed from lightning bolts to thunderstorms. Odin's invincible power and fierce offensive, caused all layers around to shutter.
In this epic battleground, various forms of energy intersected and glowed as weapons and armor collided, thunder and flames danced together, war roars and wailing wove together, celestial bodies screamed, and the cosmos boiled.
However, not long after, the battlefield began to shift.
Although in war, moving the front line is normal, but this front-line drift was somewhat beyond imagination.
In the group composed of The Ancient One, Mephisto and Dormammu, who were wrapped in the most heated fight, The Ancient One was perfectly justified in her antics. She's a mage; how could she have a hand-to-hand combat? Of course, she would need to pull away from the enemy. Mephisto wanted to engage her at close quarters, so she would retreat back and then release the magic.
With The Ancient One retreating, Mephisto and Dormammu surely followed and were on the chase, and with Mephisto and Dormammu chasing, the three-person battlefield became recklessly swift in one direction.
As The Ancient One moved, Emperor Mount Wey, who was supporting her, surely.followed. With Emperor Mount Wey moving, Setorak had to move too...
On the other battlefield, Hela also had her own logical reasons. Odin's Power of Thunder was too strong; she couldn't just stand there and let him strike, could she? Avoiding the edge is a principle understood by anyone proficient in tactics. So fleeing out of range of lightning was not strange, right?
With Hela dodging, Odin, who was specifically there to attack Hela, had to surely follow. With both of these individuals moving, Baldur naturally had to follow their footsteps...
So, this positional battle rapidly changed into a mobile battle. Anyway, it was a chase; she escaped, he chased, she escaped again, and he chased again, she ran for her life, and he chased relentlessly...
Then, after shifting several dozens of dimensions and hundreds of billions of light-years away... they coincidentally arrived in the Andromeda Galaxy.
There could be many reasons for this situation, perhaps the demon gods didn't have a concept of distance or perhaps the Supreme Magician and Dimensional Demon God had deep hatred...
But it was certain that Strange didn't use a phone to instruct The Ancient One to pull off a stunt.
Upon arriving in the Andromeda Galaxy, the situation became even livelier. Don't forget, within the Andromeda Galaxy, there was a Great Shadow Cision, whose house had collapsed and who was planning to punish the culprit.
At this time, Cision was squatting in the sky above the Klinta Planet. He looked at the planet and found it increasingly bizarre. This couldn't be a turtle shell built by that bastard, fearing that I would cause trouble, could it?
Xeseon felt that his speculation made sense. The first reaction when stealing something from someone else's home would be to find a safe place to hide.
Therefore, Xeseon didn't think this was Nal's prison, he considered it as a safe space created by Nal, especially for stalked victims.
With that being said, Xeseon certainly did not want Nal to succeed, so he began to manipulate Chaotic Power to attack the prison.
Although the prison holds Nal, the surface was all Symbiotic Species. They were relentlessly sending messages to the Cosmic Special Agents asking for help and screaming until their heads were about to burst.
The Cosmic Special Agents desperately did not want Nal to escape. Unable to return themselves, they had only the option of mobilizing other forces to defend the planet.
The closest force happened to be from the Andromeda Union civilization.
When the Andromeda Union civilization's council heard that the Symbiotic Species were not sending backup but instead planning to evacuate personnel from this place, it exploded with outrage. They saw this as a despicable act of ingratitude and betrayal.
However, the Symbiotic Species had their own reasons. You can stalemate with the Sulfur Dwarfs for a bit, but if Nal escapes, it could mean the end of the universe. Which is more important?
Unable to come to an agreement, the Andromeda Union pressed for survival, while the Symbiotic Species stood for justice. Both parties felt they were in the right and that the other side was unreasonable.
With the situation becoming increasingly urgent and the conflict seemingly irreconcilable, the anxious Symbiotic Species forcibly controlled their hosts' bodies and ran for Klinta Planet.
This stirred up a hornet's nest. There were races within the Andromeda Union that were similar to humans, harboring a deep resentment for parasitic organisms like the Symbiotes.
In the past, the Symbiotic Species never forcibly took control of their hosts under the supervision of the Cosmic Special Agents. This made many races complacent and without any restraint measures against the Symbiotes. Intriguingly, those race that despise Symbiotes learned their weakness from the Sulfur Dwarfs.
When the Symbiotic Species forcibly controlled their hosts in order to aid their mother star, those races who despised them killed two Symbiotic Species using flames and sonic waves, one of which was a newborn.
This outraged the Symbiotic Species, and they initiated a war in the civilization's territory, seeking revenge for their kin.
Ultimately, the Symbiotic civilisation and the Andromeda Union completely broke apart. The Symbiotic Species encountered endless pursuit within the realms of the Andromeda Union.
The Symbiotic Species living within the Andromeda Union had to abandon a majority of the symbionts, attaching themselves to animals, and returned to their home planet, battered and bruised.
The Cosmic Special Agents, far away on Earth, were filled with both anger and sorrow when they got this news, but above all, they were anxious. They had paid such a high price, if Nal escapes again, the Symbiotic Species and the Cosmic Special Agents would be finished.
"Nal will not give us another chance. We are just a race he casually created and we even betrayed him, he is not a loving creator at all, but an evil and ruthless Destroyer," Blue Spirit said, his voice filled with fatigue. Strange patted him on the shoulder and said, "The Supreme Magician indeed has not replied to my messages…"
As Blue Spirit was about to say something, Strange interrupted, "But the mages have decided to build an interstellar portal for you right now."
Blue Spirit stared at him in shock. Strange patted him on the shoulder again and said, "I think after living in human society for so long, you should understand that we are emotional creatures, not cold logical machines. We would never leave a friend to die."
After saying this, he looked into Blue Spirit's eyes and said, "This is not just for the friendship between humans and the Symbiotic Species, we too are part of the cosmos and bear the responsibility of maintaining cosmic peace and stability."
"I know that the Cosmic Special Agents are sailing silently through this dark space, helping every civilization they can, like a lighthouse in the universe."
"Humans are still weak, we cannot be your companions on this glorious journey, but at the very least, we are willing to add a piece of wood to your dwindling fire in this dire time, ensuring that this precious light never goes out…"
Blue Spirit looked into Strange's eyes, which seemed to glint with a kind of light.
Before hearing these words, he always thought that the Symbiotic Species cannot shed tears. He stood up and shook hands with Strange in the human gesture of friendship.
When their palms touched, a light shot directly from their fingertips, Strange said, "You'll be needing this energy, consider it a farewell gift from humanity…"
Blue Spirit tightly gripped Strange's hand. When they finally separated, the magical brilliance from Strange's fingertips had transferred to Blue Spirit's hand.
Blue Spirit felt the abundant power within him. Strange smiled at him and said, "Long live friendship, Godtar."
Blue Spirit's fingertips twitched a bit, his voice trembled as both their hands locked together again, just like the third kind of contact in human dreams.
"…Long live friendship, Humans."
