[Finally, the National Day holiday is here! Extra meal tonight! Four!] [By the way, Happy 70th Birthday to our Motherland!]
Among all the Dimensions to which Michael sent messages, the Dark Dimension was one of them!
Just at that moment, the Ancient One, who had just perfectly merged with the Dark Dimension, was thinking about how to quickly overcome the drawback of being trapped in the Dark Dimension, and unexpectedly, Michael sent her good news.
The Dark Dimension, as a sub-Dimension based on the Main Universe, if it wanted to ascend, what should it do? One word: eat! Two words: eat ravenously! Three words: eat, eat, eat!
Why did Dormammu, when he was still the Dimension Lord of the Dark Dimension, want to devour Earth so badly? Firstly, Earth had the Ancient One, a thief of dark power, and the clear connection between them provided Dormammu with Earth's dimensional coordinates.
Secondly, Earth had a great, great deal of 'nutrients'!
For... nutrients for Dimension advancement! Don't look at Earth's technological civilization, which isn't even qualified to enter the Universe, belonging squarely to a low-level civilization.
But for the Dark Dimension, Earth was an extremely delicious delicacy, containing extremely high-grade protein.
Ahem, in short, whether it was Earth's cultivation civilization, its population, or even Earth itself, it all provided extremely powerful assistance for the Dark Dimension's advancement.
But unfortunately, during Dormammu's era, the Dark Dimension faced resistance from Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi and her Order of the Mages, and Dormammu achieved nothing.
And during Ancient One's era, the Ancient One herself would not want to devour Earth; this was her home, a home she had protected for hundreds or thousands of years, so she could never devour Earth.
Of course, even if the Ancient One wanted to devour Earth, the Order of the Mages would strongly resist, making it not worth the effort.
What's more, Earth also had a terrifying figure like Michael. Would the Ancient One be crazy enough to want to devour Earth? The Ancient One herself only completely merged with the Dark Dimension with Michael's help, so how could she go to Earth to seek her own death?
Under these circumstances, the Lord of the Nine Realms, Asgard, became Ancient One's second choice after Earth!
Asgard itself is not a Planet, but due to its inherent uniqueness, it is no worse than an ordinary Planet, and even better than most Planets.
If the Dark Dimension could swallow Asgard whole, that would also be of immense help to the Dark Dimension's advancement!
Although even if Asgard were devoured, the Dark Dimension wouldn't immediately advance, devouring Asgard and increasing the Dark Dimension's advancement progress by a few percentage points would certainly not be a problem!
This is also why, as soon as Michael announced the intelligence that Asgard was on the verge of collapse, Ancient One's mind began to stir...
As for the friendship between Ancient One and Odin, don't joke around. If the Order of the Mages had a friendship with Asgard, would the Order of the Mages' magical artifact be stored by Odin in his vault?
If she couldn't beat him, Ancient One would have loved to destroy all of Asgard! What Lord of the Nine Realms, what safety of the Realms?
Ronan the Accuser even attacked Earth, and if Captain Marvel hadn't gone berserk and scared Ronan away, who knows what would have happened to Earth!
Lord of the Nine Realms, Asgard? Haha! In Ancient One's view, if Odin wasn't inherently linked to the essence of Asgard, gaining Odin Force even in his sleep, he would be completely useless!
He didn't dare to fight outwards, only wanting to guard his own small territory, his narrow-mindedness goes without saying. For governance, the Nine Realms' stability relied entirely on military suppression, with no political means whatsoever.
He gathered the gods of the Nine Realms to forge the Destroyer Armor, then turned around and destroyed most of the gods. Where was the virtue in that?
Furthermore, he was a person who could even imprison and seal his own daughter for the sake of the King of Gods' position.
In Ancient One's opinion, Odin was trash, a person who could only share hardship but not prosperity!
Devouring Asgard, Ancient One could say she felt no guilt at all! Ahem.
Alright, these are just Author-Jun's personal opinions, no rebuttals accepted, lol… Of course, if Odin were still at his peak strength, all those thoughts… Ancient One would only be thinking about them.
Look at how Dormammu was severely injured before. Although Ancient One was very disdainful of Odin's character, she still had to acknowledge Odin's strength.
With Odin having just begun his Odinsleep and still being at his peak strength, if Dark Dimension dared to try and devour Asgard now, it would be… Ancient One herself looking for death.
"Odin and Asgard are intrinsically linked. To devour Asgard, Odin must first be killed."
"Now, Odin is being held back by a Skyfather Level expert who is not afraid of the Destroyer Armor. Isn't this the perfect opportunity to devour Asgard?!"
"Tsk."
"Hela."
"It seems Hela is already Great God Qi Jun's person. After being sealed for thousands of years, she can now fight Destroyer Odin so effectively."
"But why would Great God Qi Jun choose her?"
"Hela isn't necessarily any better than Odin, is she?"
Ancient One pondered, then chuckled. She herself had become the Dark Dimension; why bother with so many other things! "However, to be safe, I should call more people."
"Dimension promotion comes with risks, and actions must be taken with caution. It's better to find more Dimensions to share the risk!"
"Even if we have to share Asgard at that time, it's better than not getting even a drop!"
"Fortunately, when I was Sorcerer Supreme, I traveled through countless Dimensions, so now I don't have to screen them one by one."
The Myriad Dimensions were varied, with good and bad, strong and weak, but Ancient One knew all of them like the back of her hand.
In the Dark Dimension, Ancient One's figure, condensed from pure energy, flickered in and out of view, and whispers slowly drifted out… Asgard, Subspace. With an almost imperceptible spatial fluctuation, Michael's figure reappeared here.
"Information spreads very quickly."
"It won't be long before the news of Asgard's impending doom spreads throughout the Myriad Dimensions."
"I just wonder how many Dimension Lords will harbor thoughts of coming to get a piece of the pie."
Seeing that the forces of Hela and Asgard, led by Hela and Odin respectively, were still locked in a fierce but orderly battle, Michael knew that external intervention was necessary to end the stalemate's wasted time.
