Brooklyn, on a busy street.
A black portal suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and from it stepped out a silver-haired girl with an outstanding figure.
As soon as she stepped through the portal, she immediately collapsed to the ground, and the magic behind her dispersed due to a lack of energy.
Clea placed her hands on the ground, breathing in the clean air that belonged to Earth, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I finally made it!"
Clea said emotionally with a sigh; after many hardships, she had finally managed to open a portal to Earth, and the excitement nearly knocked her off her feet!
"Now I just need to find Alaric!!"
Clea struggled to stand up from the ground.
Because the current Clea didn't have much magical power and was not yet the powerful sorceress who would become the ruler of the Dark Dimension.
Moreover, after arriving on Earth, she discovered that her already small amount of magical power was further weakened by Earth's environment!
This caused her to nearly exhaust all her magic just to open the portal.
The main reason was that she had come from the Dark Dimension, which was already quite difficult in itself.
But precisely because her magic was weak, she wasn't blocked by the magical barrier that covered Earth.
If Dormammu had come instead of her, no matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't have been able to easily open a spatial rift.
"I heard you were looking for me?"
Alaric slowly landed in front of Clea from the sky, looking suspiciously at this unknown silver-haired girl who had suddenly appeared on Earth.
Although it was the first time Alaric had seen Clea, the strong aura of the Dark Dimension on her body was enough for him to understand where the girl in front of him came from.
It was just strange to Alaric, how did someone even dare come to Earth from the Dark Dimension?
Aren't they afraid of death?
And Dormammu?
Does he not care?
"Alaric!?"
As soon as Clea looked up, she saw Alaric descending from the sky and standing in front of her.
At that moment, Clea's heart was filled with immense surprise!
She felt as if she had been blessed by the goddess of luck today!
Clea never expected that the person she was looking for would appear the moment she arrived on Earth!
She thought she would have to search for a long time!!
So Clea excitedly ran toward Alaric!
Alaric: ???
Alaric looked on in confusion, why does everyone keep hugging him like this?
So directly?
And how does this silver-haired girl even know who he is?
Alaric didn't remember making any friends in the Dark Dimension.
Out of caution, Alaric avoided her embrace.
"Ugh!"
Clea, already exhausted from lack of magic, just flew past Alaric and slammed to the ground.
Luckily, her physical endurance exceeded that of a human's, or she would've certainly smashed her knees.
"Alaric…"
Clea lifted her small face and looked at Alaric with pitiful eyes.
"How do you know about me? What's your relationship with Dormammu?"
Alaric turned and asked.
What if she was a spy sent by Dormammu?
After all, Alaric knew that Dormammu hated him with all his being.
But what Alaric didn't know was that Dormammu truly did hate him, but because Alaric was on Earth, he couldn't do anything to him, so Dormammu simply temporarily left the Dark Dimension.
"I am a resident of the Dark Dimension, and I know about you because I saw you fighting Dormammu! And I want to come to you for help!"
Clea explained.
That day, Clea was drawn by the sudden outbreak of battle in the Dark Dimension, so she secretly approached, and at that moment saw Alaric fearlessly fighting, facing off directly against Dormammu!
Especially the image of Alaric, like a god of war, it left an indelible mark on Clea's heart!
It was the first time Clea had ever seen someone in the Dark Dimension dare challenge Dormammu and not be defeated!
That's why, to become stronger, Clea wanted to find Alaric and learn magic from him!
Then Clea finally got her chance!
Dormammu left the Dark Dimension!
Then, using teleportation magic she had learned, she spent days and nights trying to open a passage to Earth, until finally, today, she succeeded!!
And what she hadn't expected was that the first person she would see upon exiting was the very Alaric she held in her heart!!!
She was overjoyed!!
Alaric silently listened to Clea explain how she found out about him, and the longer he listened to her adoring tone, the more awkward he felt.
If he remembered correctly, that was the first time he went to the Dark Dimension and the first time he fought Dormammu.
And with the help of the Time Stone, he drove Dormammu to madness, and in the end managed to blackmail him successfully.
And before the end, Alaric had died countless times at Dormammu's hands; both he and Dormammu had gone numb from the endless time loop.
So actually, the scenes Clea had seen were those in which Dormammu, wanting to continue the battle, let Alaric go wild, which allowed Clea to witness his full attack that momentarily pushed Dormammu back.
At that moment, looking at Clea's expectant eyes, Alaric felt like he was deceiving a naive girl.
"To be honest, I wasn't a match for Dormammu."
Alaric said seriously.
"Uh-huh!" Clea nodded firmly.
Alaric was speechless.
"If you've come for me to help you defeat Dormammu, I can't do that. But if you want to learn magic from me, that I can help you with."
"Really?! Master! Please, teach me magic!!"
When she heard that Alaric agreed to her request, Clea quickly took a few steps forward and gave a serious bow.
Alaric was startled by the sudden movement and quickly took a step back.
Why are you and Gwen so lively and explosive?
Is that some kind of unique charm of girls?
"By the way, how did you even get here? Doesn't Dormammu care that one of his natives smuggled herself to Earth?"
Alaric asked curiously.
"With the help of a few girlfriends, they're witches too, they know a bit of magic. As for Dormammu, he's currently not in the Dark Dimension."
"Witches… Wait a minute! You said Dormammu isn't in the Dark Dimension? Where did he go?"
Alaric was stunned; Dormammu wasn't in his base, what was he planning now?
"I think he went to attack another dimension."
Clea sighed; she despised Dormammu's conquests.
Just as Dormammu became the ruler of the Dark Dimension through brute force and betrayal, now he was trying to conquer other worlds.
Clea hoped that one day she could banish Dormammu from the Dark Dimension.
But she knew she wasn't strong enough, so when she saw Alaric, she desperately wished for his help.
And because Alaric was from Earth, Dormammu's natural enemy, he was the perfect ally!!
"He went to other dimensions? Dormammu really doesn't know what rest means." Alaric sighed.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Clea!"
"Clea? That name sounds so familiar, I feel like I've heard it somewhere before…"
Alaric spoke as he recalled.
Her name is Clea, from the Dark Dimension, silver hair… Wait, isn't she…
"Doctor Strange's future wife!?"
