Chapter 323: Chapter 323
Chapter 323: Chapter 323
Under normal circumstances, Dormammu would have begun his invasion shortly after the temple's downfall. But now, there was no sign of him.
After some thought, Syd arrived at a possible reason.
"Could it be because the Ancient One is still alive?"
This seemed the only plausible explanation for Dormammu's delay.
After all, with the Ancient One's immense power, it was natural for Dormammu to proceed cautiously.
Perhaps he was preparing some devious plan, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Meanwhile, at the Hong Kong Sanctum, the Ancient One gazed over the city, deep in thought.
"The future has changed..."
For years, she had spent countless hours peering into the future, including her own.
Each time she reached this moment in the timeline, her future became a blank slate.
She had accepted this long ago, understanding that her demise was likely destined, unavoidable.
She had no intention of changing it.
Avoiding her death might bring about even greater calamities.
Over the years, she had thwarted countless catastrophes, but misfortune always found its way back.
Death, she believed, gave life meaning. It reminded everyone of time's brevity, urging them to cherish their fleeting days.
She had prepared herself for this step, even planning to entrust everything to Stephen Strange when the time came.
Yet now, she stood alive, watching events unfold in ways entirely unrecognizable from the futures she had foreseen.
Her expression turned complex.
Long ago, she had sensed an unknown force altering the future, causing unprecedented changes. However, she had never anticipated a shift so profound that even her death had been averted.
"I can't tell if this is a blessing or a curse," she muttered.
A future derailed from its destined course likely heralded even greater disasters.
As the hours passed, night gave way to morning.
The sky was heavy with storm clouds, a foreboding stillness in the air.
Just as people began adjusting to Messiah's presence, with some even returning home under
the assumption that nothing would happen, the extraordinary occurred.
Above Hong Kong, countless black dots appeared in the sky.
"What is that?"
"Sentinel robots?"
The remaining citizens stared in shock at the densely packed Sentinels hovering above.
Early risers tuning into Messiah's livestream were equally stunned.
As they called for others to join, more and more people turned their attention to the unfolding scene.
Irina, Stark Tower, S.H.I.E.L.D., Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters...
"What are these Sentinels planning?"
"Are they about to..."
Before the speculation could end, the 300 Sentinels in the sky moved in unison, flying toward a single location.
Everyone knew where that was-Messiah's position in the heart of Hong Kong.
Spear Bureau, Hong Kong Division
"Haha! Brother Zhang, let's see what Messiah does now!"
The tall, thin Li Shui, who appeared to be in his thirties, wore a smug expression of schadenfreude.
Ever since encountering Messiah the previous night, he had been irritated.
Despite Zhang Zhen stopping him from confronting Messiah, his dissatisfaction lingered, ruining his sleep.
Now, seeing hundreds of Sentinels heading toward Messiah, he couldn't contain his glee.
"He might be an Omega-level mutant, but he's no White Knight. His power isn't that absurd..." Li Shui sneered.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
In the past, Messiah had struggled against dozens, sometimes hundreds, of Sentinels. How could he possibly handle this many now?
And who knew how many more were on their way?
His companions, all of whom possessed extraordinary powers, shared similar expressions of smug delight.
"Enough chatter. Let's head over and see for ourselves," Zhang Zhen ordered, leading his team toward Messiah's location.
Across the world, countless viewers compared Messiah to the White Knight, fully aware of the disparity in strength even among Omega-level mutants.
In the heart of Hong Kong, under Magneto's watchful gaze, the 300 Sentinels surrounded
Messiah.
"Messiah, a pleasure to meet you. You should know who I am."
A mechanical voice emanated from the leading Sentinel.
Ultron's greedy tone continued.
"There are 300 Sentinels here. Messiah, stop resisting. Surrender, and I promise to spare your life. I have no intention of damaging such a valuable body."
Syd frowned, his gaze locking onto the machine.
As the world held its breath, expecting a fight to break out, the unexpected happened.
From the heart of Hong Kong, a massive surge of black and purple energy erupted, spreading
rapidly.
Through the dark energy, a strange dimension became visible-a black and purple space resembling a swamp that swallowed dozens of skyscrapers in an instant.
The energy continued to expand, consuming everything in its path at an alarming rate.
Sensing the danger, Mordo and Stephen Strange stepped through a portal, their faces grim.
"It's the Dark Dimension," Mordo said gravely. "We can't let it spread, or everything will be
consumed!"
"What is this?"
Ultron, on the verge of attacking Messiah, was stunned.
What was happening in that region? Was something consuming it?
Even Ultron, with his advanced systems, felt a twinge of fear.
Across the world, viewers watching the livestream stared in horror at the terrifying
phenomenon.
Zhang Zhen and his Spear Bureau team stopped dead in their tracks, their faces pale.
"What... is that?"
Amid the collective shock, a colossal and mysterious figure emerged from the black and
purple dimension.
The being was massive, its body shrouded in darkness. Two eyes glowed with a piercing
purple-white light.
Its gaze fell upon Earth, filled with greed and disdain.
To this being, humanity seemed no more than insignificant insects to be trampled.
