American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Kaecilius slammed a palm onto the ground, and invisible energy surged out, instantly shattering the surface.

As if triggering a cloud of explosives, the entire Sanctum exploded violently, the aftershock of the blast carrying debris and rubble, nearly leveling the entire district.

The police convoy that had just arrived bore the brunt of the explosion, serving as unfortunate scapegoats, and the buildings lining the narrow alleyways were not spared either.

The explosion instantly claimed the lives of countless people.

Zealots swarmed in from all directions, surrounding Kaecilius in a frenzy.

In the sky above him, a bizarre, pale purple phenomenon tainted the heavens.

It seemed as if a rift had been torn open in the sky, revealing a colossal, indescribable entity that was constantly devouring the world.

A small squad of artificial human special forces rushed into the battlefield, ignoring the Zealots kneeling all over the ground, and went straight into the ruins of the Sanctum to rescue Stephen and the dozen or so other sorcerers.

Perhaps due to the mystic arts, despite suffering such a massive impact, not a single one of them died.

Wong and Mordo sustained some minor injuries, with a few bloodstains on their bodies.

The most severely affected was Stephen; having lost the Time Stone, Doctor Strange was no longer Doctor Strange.

The coincidences and miracles that had arisen from a confluence of circumstances seemed to have vanished.

Having taken the brunt of the explosion almost point-blank, it was already a miracle that he survived.

The Zealots had achieved their goal and paid no heed to the sorcerers' lives, allowing the artificial human forces to rescue them all.

In the sky, Qi Shan shook his head, a hint of melancholy in his heart.

He had hoped to witness a famous scene, but it seemed Dormammu would have to be dealt with personally.

Qi Shan didn't have much of a feeling regarding this Dark Dimension overlord.

Dormammu, though powerful, was at most on par with Thanos.

The God-King Odin was similar to the Ancient One and could exchange a few blows with Dormammu.

However, their scales were different.

Asgard wouldn't amplify Odin's power, while the Dark Dimension was Dormammu's very body.

Their relationship was akin to that of a snake and a hedgehog.

If they truly engaged in a fight to the death, neither Earth nor Asgard could stop this Dark Dimension monarch.

But after swallowing him, Dormammu would undoubtedly perish as well.

Therefore, Dormammu developed Zealots, deceiving them into proactively removing the thorns from Earth.

This way, it would not only be a smooth experience but also entirely safe.

If the plot unfolded as it should, Doctor Strange, wielding the Time Stone, would stand before Dormammu, threatening him with an infinite time loop to force a negotiation.

Although it was a viable tactic, it also seemed rather weak.

Qi Shan could also use the Reality Stone to achieve a similar outcome, but compared to the Time Stone's properties, the Reality Stone felt inferior.

Moreover, frequent use of the Reality Stone released increasingly large amounts of energy.

Even with Qi Shan's special physique, he had barely managed to suppress it when obliterating the demon last time, and using it again risked unforeseen consequences.

Qi Shan felt it was better to trust the system.

After returning from the parallel dimension, Qi Shan appeared directly in Kathmandu.

Although Kaecilius had used magic to create some simple disguises and kept a low profile, rarely interacting with outsiders,

Alice still discovered him.

Qi Shan had been watching from the air during their fight.

Subsequently, he used the Profound Realm to open the Mystic Arts portal, and the battlefield shifted to Hong Kong; Qi Shan flashed and followed to the skies above the Hong Kong Sanctum.

They floated aimlessly in the air, occasionally colliding, but without making any sound; instead, the larger bodies would unhesitatingly devour the smaller ones.

The straightforwardness of the action reminded Qi Shan of Pac-Man.

Ripples suddenly appeared in space, and a colossal head, as large as a planet, slowly emerged, simple lines outlining a狰狞 face, its pupils deep and serene, like eternal stillness.

"Dormammu?" Qi Shan tentatively inquired.

"Such audacity, daring to call my name directly!"

The voice appeared out of nowhere in Qi Shan's mind, deafening and seemingly imbued with explosive destructive power.

Each time he heard a word, a surge of rich golden energy would appear in Qi Shan's mind, instantly merging into the card.

Qi Shan shook his head, not surprised; after all, Dormammu was the embodiment of evil, and if he were well-behaved, it would be abnormal!

"Although I don't think it will be of much use, I'll still say it for now: I'm here to negotiate terms!"

"You're not even a sorcerer, you little insect; you don't even have the right to appear before me. Your world is mine now, just like the other worlds."

As soon as the words fell, several beams of dark energy instantly struck Qi Shan's body.

At the same time, the voice he had been anticipating appeared in his ear.

[Under attack, initiating combat mode]

[Host entering combat mode, system taking over body, template matching starting]

[Detected 132 energy cards]

[Consuming 100 energy cards to enhance character state]

[Matching complete: Sadao Maou (Strongest Demon King state)]

[From 'The Devil Is a Part-Timer!']

[Detected alternate identity, consuming one Tomie card, activating Second Body!]

[Combat commencing]

Qi Shan felt a beam of light explode within him, as dazzling as the sun in this pitch-black Dark Dimension.

Dormammu instinctively recoiled slightly, the lines formed by dark energy wavering, seemingly harmed by this energy.

As the light gradually dissipated, a burly demon appeared before Qi Shan.

Sturdy goat hooves, a slender demon tail, impressively spread black wings, thick bull horns, an upper body with astonishingly strong muscles, coupled with a resolute and handsome face.

This was the typical Demon King form.

Qi Shan blinked.

Wait, why is it appearing in my field of vision?

Shouldn't I be transforming directly?

At this moment, Dormammu was already furious.

Having been in a high position for countless years, a being like a creator god in the Dark Dimension, he had actually been injured by a small蝼蚁.

This was a great humiliation!

Dormammu didn't pay attention to the newly emerged little guy in front of him but once again aimed his attack at Qi Shan.

Seeing the energy impact about to hit his face, Qi Shan subconsciously tilted his head, and then he felt a figure block in front, that huge fist waving afterimages, emitting black light all around, punching again and again, actually smashing Dormammu's attack into pieces.

The fragments of dark energy scattered around, turning into wisps of black smoke, and before they could reintegrate into the Dark Dimension, they were pulled by an inexplicable force and sucked into the Demon King's body.

The black light around the Demon King became even more intense!
