"Traces of a dimensional god?"
The Ancient One's face darkened. She turned to Mordo, who was also present:
"Go to the London Sanctum. Have Wong guard the Hong Kong Sanctum, increasing vigilance and monitoring the dimensional barriers."
"Yes!"
Mordo quickly departed.
Simultaneously, the resting guardian sorcerers of Kamar-Taj received orders to return to their respective Sanctums.
In the shadows of the corridor, Kaecilius watched, his lips curling into a cold smile as if viewing walking corpses.
Once they received the Dark Lord's power, these sorcerers would be nothing but trash.
Meanwhile, the Ancient One opened a portal, taking the reporting sorcerer to the New York Sanctum.
In the chamber, the floating nexus node operated steadily.
The Ancient One glanced around:
"Can you still sense it?"
The accompanying sorcerer shook his head:
"It was just a fleeting moment, a hint of an aura detected. But I remember the location."
He pointed to a wilderness area in North America.
"Guard the Sanctum well."
"If it's still there, it won't escape my perception."
After instructing, the Ancient One opened another portal, this time to a base!
As she stepped through, the dark acolyte didn't hesitate, opening a portal back to Kamar-Taj!
Not just him, but all the traitors returned at this moment, gathering at Kaecilius' residence.
In the room.
On a simple tablet, sixteen surveillance feeds showed the base the Ancient One had entered.
Kaecilius was cautious. Though mirror dimension monitoring was perfect, he feared the Ancient One sensing it.
Modern surveillance equipment, on the other hand, was perfect for this.
Minutes later!
The entire base exploded, a fierce fireball with black smoke rising, a furious roar within:
"Ancient One! You despicable dog, daring to trap me!"
"Die!"
In an instant, cold black light erupted, expanding like a balloon, disintegrating everything it touched!
Seconds later, the monitor showed a lost signal icon.
Kaecilius, eyes gleaming with fanaticism, turned to the other followers:
"The time has come. The great Dark Lord will save this world!"
"And we will gain eternal life and power!"
"The Ancient One must die!"
Other dark acolytes echoed his fervor, opening a portal and flooding into the library!
"You..."
The librarian stood in shock, but before he could finish, Kaecilius raised his hand, a green lightning bolt striking him dead!
"Quite a remarkable spell."
Kaecilius commented, satisfied.
Then he went to the restricted section, tore off the chain, took out the Book of Cagliostro, and ripped out the summoning ritual page, placing it on the ground!
Immediately, four other acolytes spread to the page's corners, while he began using magic to perform the summoning!
He had rehearsed this process countless times.
Within a second, there was a response!
Space began to shift and churn, the ground forming an infinitely looping eye, and the ritual page burned like a pupil.
Instantly, Kaecilius felt a distant gaze descend.
Without words, through mental communication, Dormammu knew everything in a flash.
Vast dark power was granted, simultaneously cleansing another force from Kaecilius' body.
"Though not Chthon's aura, it's divine power... no matter, just a stepping stone!"
"Ancient One, you and your world are doomed, hahaha!!!"
In the Dark Dimension, Dormammu's laughter shook the entire realm.
After so many years, vengeance was finally near!
The Dark Lord showed no hesitation in bestowing dark power upon all his followers!
---
**In the Reality.**
The summoning ritual could no longer be sustained, the burning page finally turned to ashes, and space returned to normal.
Kaecilius' eyes were surrounded by a sinister darkness. He grinned at the followers around him:
"Let's go."
"Show those sorcerers the true power of darkness!"
With that, the crowd surged out!
They would first attack the Sanctums in New York and London while waiting for orders regarding Hong Kong!
Kaecilius then teleported a hundred kilometers away from the base.
After glancing at the calm sky in the distance, he sneered:
"Into the Mirror Dimension, huh?"
He teleported again, arriving at the ruins of the base, now unrecognizable, and waited.
With the dark power, he could sense the Mirror Dimension and even enter it!
He couldn't help cursing again:
"The Ancient One kept this power to herself for so many years!"
With that, he formed an array with his hands, pale light emerging, rendering him invisible.
**"Balder's Mirage Spell!"** (Invisibility Charm)
Another spell he learned from the Book of Mind, to conceal both body and aura.
Minutes later.
A golden portal opened, and the Ancient One emerged, looking disheveled, her saffron robes corroded, exuding a destructive aura.
The next second, she looked eastward, her face grim:
"Is the Hong Kong Sanctum the only one left? Who betrayed Kamar-Taj?"
*Puh!*
A transparent blade pierced her chest, drawing crimson blood.
A cold, hoarse, satisfied voice sounded from behind:
"You're wrong, Ancient One!"
"It's not us betraying Kamar-Taj, but you betraying us."
"Die, the great Dark Lord will make everyone live eternally."
With those words, Kaecilius' figure emerged from invisibility.
He withdrew the blade, watching the Ancient One, shocked, regretful, angry, turning, blood frothing from her mouth, unable to say a word as she died.
He initially only intended to stall her, unexpectedly succeeding with the surprise attack.
"You're just a thief."
He sneered, stepping through the portal, and facing the last Sanctum.
As the portal closed, Balder appeared from thin air, looking down at the body with a smile:
"He believed he could kill you, no need for my deception."
He turned to the Ancient One's soul, kindly asking:
"Want me to put you back? I'm good at it."
"No"
The Ancient One quickly refused, lying back into her body, then sitting up with open eyes.
Her shattered heart healed with dark energy.
The next second, both looked east.
Balder spoke:
"Three Sanctums destroyed, why not open a slit in the dimensional barrier?"
"If it's late, that fool will be confused."
The Sanctums were just facades, the nexus of three energy nodes not above ground but with powerful magical defenses.
The Ancient One nodded, forming different arrays with each hand, merging them into a nexus resembling the Sanctums.
With a light touch at a spot, a slit opened.
Simultaneously, the sky above the Hong Kong Sanctum tore apart, revealing the Dark Dimension with countless withered planets.
The next second, Dormammu descended.

**Simultaneously.**
In the HYDRA base in Siberia, Wanda's pupils turned black at the center, gazing south.
But she made no move, merely observing.
