Chapter 459: Chapter 456: If you don't stop talking, I'll send you back to 17s

"What did you say?"

Hearing Fang Mo's statement, not only Kaecilius and his party were stunned, but even Mordo and Wong beside them were taken aback.

"Wait, wait a moment..."

Kaecilius seemed to feel a bit nervous as well: "Lord Sargeras, please do not believe this man's slander. He is not your most loyal follower... No, he is not even a follower!"

"How dare you assume my faith?"

Fang Mo laughed upon hearing this: "Well, today you dare to assume my faith, will you dare to assume my gender and skin color tomorrow?"

"Huh?"

Kaecilius was startled upon hearing this, wondering how his boss started talking nonsense again. This line wasn't in the script they had followed before, making it hard for him to respond.

Fortunately, Fang Mo seemed to notice Kaecilius's awkward situation and continued: "Lord Sargeras, after all, I am a holder of the Infinity Stones. My strength needs no further mention, but this guy in front of you is a genuine turncoat, having betrayed Dormammu to join you today, he might betray you for someone else tomorrow."

"Hmm?"

Sargeras, floating in the air, seemed to ponder upon hearing this.

"My lord, I did not!"

Kaecilius immediately explained: "I have wandered half my life but have never found a true master..."

"Hahaha!"

Before he could finish, Fang Mo suddenly burst into laughter.

Expressing loyalty is certainly a good thing, but honestly, Fang Mo did not expect him to say such a line, which anyone familiar with the Three Kingdoms would find hilarious. For a moment, Fang Mo almost lost control over Sargeras in the air.

Thankfully, Sargeras was just an energy entity, his whole body burning with bright golden flames, so no one noticed his anomaly.

"No, reciting Lu Bu's lines on the spot was quite a show."

Fang Mo finally caught his breath after laughing for a while and then deliberately said to Kaecilius: "You really want others to know about your rebellious heart, don't you?"

"Huh?"

Kaecilius, not being from the East, naturally did not understand the reference to "the treacherous servant of three surnames": "What are you talking about?"

"The closer your hand is to the halberd, the further your foster father is from you."

Fang Mo simply explained.

"Hahaha!" Before Kaecilius could react, Wong, who was tied up not far away, couldn't help but burst into laughter first.

Just like any other joke, only Chinese people understand.

"You..."

"Lord Sargeras."

Before Kaecilius could speak, Fang Mo spoke again: "This guy has spent his life pledging allegiance and then betraying, from the Ancient One to Dormammu, and then to you, such a person cannot be kept. So, I offer him as a sacrifice to you, what do you think?"

"You do have a point."

Unexpectedly, Sargeras actually nodded in agreement.

His sudden remark terrified the dark mages present to the core. These people had heard with their own ears how Fang Mo intended to offer dozens of live sacrifices. How could they not panic?

"Lord Sargeras, I..."

Almost immediately, the group of dark mages prostrated themselves on the ground, begging for mercy. However, before they could even speak, Sargeras in mid-air suddenly opened his mouth wide.

A terrifying suction force emerged, and everyone present, including Hayakawa Aki, Starrk, and all the dark mages like Kaecilius, were sucked into the air in an instant. They were devoured by the opponent amidst desperate struggles, and the clearing was completed in the blink of an eye.

"Alright, I have accepted the offerings. Now, we should talk..."

After devouring everyone, Sargeras then turned his attention back to Fang Mo.

However, at that moment, Fang Mo launched an attack without any warning. It was not clear when he had put on the Infinity Gauntlet. With a wave of his hand, a massive purple energy torrent instantly hit Sargeras.

Caught off guard, Sargeras was hit directly by the beam.

"Human! You dare to deceive..."

Sargeras roared in anger, but the power of the beam was too strong. His body burst open instantly, turning into a sky full of stars.

"Now is the time!"

Seeing this, Fang Mo deliberately shouted, then immediately teleported in front of Ancient One, snatched the Eye of Agamotto from her chest, crushed it with one hand, and swiftly embedded it into the Infinity Gauntlet.

After doing all this, Fang Mo twisted his hand forcefully towards the void.

A green halo instantly enveloped the entire world, and the river of time began to roll back in the opposite direction. Everything around rapidly rewound like a tape, the city eroded by other dimensions quickly returned to its original state, and The Ancient One, who had been shot through the chest, also stood up again, a light flew back into her chest in reverse.

In the end, the exploded Xianggang Temple also returned to its original state.

"Done."

After solving all this, Fang Mo satisfactorily patted his hands: "Hmm, in the end, it seems I alone must do the heavy lifting."

As for the others.

To be honest, Mordo and Wong were completely dumbfounded.

"This..."

The two looked at each other, seemingly unable to accept the outcome for a moment.

The power of Sargeras was witnessed by everyone. Even Dormammu's dark dimension became part of him, and yet this nearly unsolvable dimensional demon was expelled in the next second? What is going on here?

"No, it's..."

In the end, Wong couldn't help but ask Fang Mo: "How did you do it?"

"Bluffing."

Fang Mo said confidently: "He only partly descended to Earth, not having consumed it yet. I first let him lower his guard, then used the Space Stone to expel him from here. Finally, I reversed time to restore the temple's barrier to its original state, thus keeping him outside the barrier... Isn't this easy to understand?"

Yes, that was indeed the theory.

This is akin to a scenario where an armed robber, incredibly audacious, prepares to break into a house to commit a robbery, but currently, only his hand has been extended through the crack of the door. The female homeowner, seizing the moment of his carelessness, smashes his hand with a hammer, forcing him to retract his hand in pain, and then she quickly closes the door.

Direct confrontation is definitely not a match for the dimensional demon god.

However, by leveraging the power of the Infinity Stones, it is possible to expel him unnoticed.

And as long as the opponent is temporarily expelled from Earth, it's feasible to use the Time Stone to restore the temple, and through the temple's barrier, once again protect this pure land called Earth.

"This..."

Upon hearing Fang Mo's explanation, Mordo and Wong were stunned once again.

Especially Mordo, who, after pondering for a long time, could only barely manage to say, "What you are doing violates the natural laws, abusing the power of time is not advisable, as the consequences will..."

"Easy for you to say, isn't it?"

Fang Mo, somewhat amused by the response, retorted, "So, what do you suggest we do? Surrender to Sargeras by waving a white flag? Are you being delusional?"

"That's not what I meant," Mordo replied.

"I think that's exactly what you meant."

Fang Mo pointed towards the Xianggang Temple not far away and said, "If you think reversing time disrupts the natural order and affects causality, then I might as well blow this thing up. Then, when Sargeras returns to Earth in a rage, you can use your brain to figure out which outcome would be worse."

"I don't want Sargeras to return; I just genuinely believe you have no respect for natural laws," Mordo insisted stubbornly. "You don't think this comes without a price, do you?"

"Considering you're a disciple of the Ancient One, I'll give you one last chance," Fang Mo glanced at Mordo, who, if not mistaken, also wasn't portrayed positively in the original story, eventually turning into a mage hunting his own kind due to Doctor Strange using the Time Stone to save the world. Fang Mo found such characters annoying: "From now on, keep your mouth shut, and I'll just pretend you don't exist."

"But we did break the rules, that's a fact." Mordo, unyielding, said, "There are always consequences for actions; no one can escape this law, and this will only invite greater disaster."

"Are you done yet?"

Seeing Mordo's unrepentant attitude, Fang Mo became irritated: "Did you come out of Kamar-Taj or from a novel? Addicted to being sanctimonious?"

"I'm just doing what I should..."

"Enough, let's eat something good."

Before Mordo could say anything more, Fang Mo gestured with his hand, activating the red light of the Reality Stone, transforming Mordo into an old man squatting on the ground, who then scooped something into his mouth.

"Crazy."

Fang Mo glanced at the old man on the ground: "Next time you try to reason with someone, remember to check their skin color. Don't you know my nickname is 'Black Disaster'? If you dawdle again, it won't be as simple as turning into an old man... I'll use the Time Stone to send you back to 17s. You can talk about causality and karmic debts with those plantation owners and see if they agree with you."

"My goodness... How many Infinity Stones do you have?"

Wong, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but speak up.

"I originally had five, but some were stolen," Fang Mo briefly said, then pointed at the old man and laughed again: "Wong, this is your new teammate, Old Eight. From now on, your group will be called..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, a red light suddenly flashed over the old man, transforming him back into a human form.

Perhaps due to the mental shock being too great, or maybe because of the influence of the stone, Mordo had now passed out, lying motionless on the ground.

"Hey, hey, eating and then sleeping like this, is that proper?"

Upon seeing the other party faint, Fang Mo raised his eyebrows and then planned to go over and continue to trouble him, but just at this moment, Ancient One stopped him.

"Anyway, he is my disciple, you should not be too harsh on him."

Ancient One said, "Mordo's thinking is indeed too rigid and inflexible, which is caused by the hardships he suffered in his youth. Though he is conservative, he is very determined."

"Look at what you teach every day, what kind of stuff is this?"

Fang Mo directly said to Ancient One, "It's one thing to teach a thankless wretch like Kaecilius, but after finally teaching a few decent ones, you bring out such a precious piece. This guy's mouth is literally on par with Byakuya Kuchiki's. If Sargeras really devoured the entire world, leading to the destruction of everything, he could still keep nagging at Sargeras... saying you are wrong, and then disgustingly nag the other party into spitting out the world."

"He won't do it again next time."

Ancient One said, "I will find a way to enlighten him, please rest assured."

"As you wish."

Fang Mo waved his hand, though he indeed disliked Mordo, but since Ancient One stepped forward to mediate, he couldn't just stab the guy to death: "Anyway, I have taken care of this matter for you, I'm going to rest now, you figure out the rest of the temple yourself."

Ancient One didn't say anything, but looked at the Time Stone in Fang Mo's hand.

"Oh, I'm returning this to you."

Fang Mo directly removed the Time Stone and also brought back the Eye of Agamotto, then handed them to Ancient One.

After directing this affair himself.

Fang Mo did not stay any longer but directly returned to Kamar-Taj to continue his research on various scriptures about the Dimensional Demons.

Although others thought that Sargeras had devoured Dormammu, only Fang Mo himself knew that Sargeras was also a part of himself.

He used his six dimensions to devour Dormammu's Dark Dimension.

However, Fang Mo did not directly proceed with the dimension fusion but studied the theories in the scriptures more delicately.

At present, the dimensions related to darkness he holds are indeed too many, such as the Dark Space-Time, Dark Domain, and Omusos; these three dimensions are very suitable for merging with the Dark Dimension.

Through the enlightenment gained after devouring the Dark Dimension, as well as related scriptures, Fang Mo also realized that having more of the same kind of dimensions is not necessarily better.

For example, if dimensions were compared to various functional household appliances.

Then Dormammu's Dark Dimension is the refrigerator.

Fang Mo has six dimensions, corresponding to a water heater, television, refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, and oven.

Having many household appliances is certainly a good thing, but the problem lies in the overlap of functions, so this fusion still needs to be done, preferably merging all the same kind of dimensions together, directly upgrading the refrigerator to a cold storage.

However, Fang Mo is, after all, a Dimensional Demon who started halfway, this fusion sounds easy, but the actual operation is not that simple, Fang Mo indeed wants to merge the Dark Dimension, Dark Space-Time, and Dark Domain together, but he has never experienced dimension fusion before, so for now, he can only explore and study bit by bit.

Thus, after pondering for a while, Fang Mo decided to start the first round of fusion experiments with the Dark Space-Time.

After all, this dimension is quite special, it contains no matter or any living entities, just a purely infinite dark space, which should not cause too much trouble for experiments.

However, how should I put it?

This dimension fusion was more difficult than Fang Mo had anticipated.

Fang Mo squatted in Kamar-Taj for nearly half a month, barely figuring out the patterns and steps, and just as he started the fusion, Ancient One came to visit again.

She said that a destitute man with both arms lost came today.
