"Excuse me, I think I didn't hear you clearly." Chen Chen rubbed his ear, wondering if there was a problem with his hearing.
"I said, I want you to become my husband and rule the Dark Dimension!"
Now certain it wasn't his hearing, Chen Chen's face stiffened in shock.
For any man, marrying a beauty like Clea would be an immense blessing. But Chen Chen was a man destined to roam the universe. Clea's proposal to make him the king of the Dark Dimension—and thus bind him there forever—was simply impossible.
After a moment's consideration, Chen Chen said to Clea, "I'd be quite willing to sleep with a beauty like you, but becoming the ruler of the Dark Dimension... that's too troublesome. No, such a grave responsibility should be entrusted to someone truly worthy of it."
"I won't choose anyone else. It has to be you," Clea replied stubbornly.
"Enough. Since you refuse to agree to my terms, I'll have no choice but to defeat you and take you back by force." Clea's hands swirled with purple magical energy, and countless black lightning bolts erupted around her. Each flash radiated world-ending power as she pointed a finger at Chen Chen, sending the bolts surging toward him in an instant.
"Why must it come to this?" he sighed softly. *Let's end this quickly and make her understand the hopeless gap in our strength, so she'll give up any lingering hopes.*
With a raised arm devoid of any magical aura, Chen Chen casually punched forward into the endless, thunderous assault.
Everything went silent, formless.
The sea of lightning vanished into nothingness. The space they occupied dissolved into nothingness. The mountain peak that had separated their battlefields disappeared completely. Before anyone could even process what had happened, everything was gone.
"This power!?" Agamotto, watching from above, gasped in horror, his heart pounding.
"I told you," Ometu said slowly, his gaze fixed on the vanished peak, "you would understand."
"This level of power... it's overwhelming! He might be even stronger than you, Ometu."
Hoggus, standing nearby, watched Chen Chen's figure with unwavering eyes as he walked slowly.
"Not 'possibly,' but 'certainly,'" Oshtur corrected.
On the flat ground, Chen Chen slowly approached Clea, who lay unconscious on the ground. He gently lifted her, and in an instant, appeared on the platform near the Three Great Demon Gods, placing her down softly.
In another instant, he stood before the Three Great Demon Gods. "I think we can skip the rest of the competition, can't we?" he said casually.
The power he had displayed earlier was already approaching, if not surpassing, the might of ordinary gods, making him undeniably the strongest being present. He pointed a finger toward the other battlefield in the distance. At that moment, Kagura Kazusa and Doctor Voodoo stood frozen in shock.
Although Chen Chen's attack hadn't directly struck their area, its residual force had still affected them. The overwhelming and despair-inducing aura had already shattered their resolve.
For Doctor Voodoo, this was particularly devastating. He had been certain of victory against Kagura Kazusa; defeating the winner of the other battle would have secured him the title of Sorcerer Supreme. But Chen Chen's strike had shattered that dream, revealing an insurmountable realm.
"You're right," Agamotto said with a helpless smile, shaking his head. "If we continue like this, we'll just be wasting time." With a wave of his hand, he transported Doctor Voodoo and Kazusa to the high platform.
The Three Great Demon Gods and Chen Chen slowly descended from the sky. Oshtur announced, "Chen Chen will inherit the position of Sorcerer Supreme. Does anyone have any objections?"
"No," Kazusa said to Oshtur, her arm around Chen Chen's.
Hearing Oshtur's declaration, Doctor Voodoo clenched his fists in frustration. But when he met Chen Chen's calm expression, his grip weakened. "No."
"Very well. I now declare—Chen Chen, you will inherit the position of Sorcerer Supreme."
Instantly, an invisible wave of energy spread outward.
"This is my formal declaration. All beings connected to our sorcerer community will know of your ascension through this wave. This is different from the Ancient One's succession; this time, it is a true inheritance." Oshtur's elegant face broke into a languid smile. "Finally, the dust has settled."
Chen Chen opened his palm, and a flash of golden light erupted. Several golden orbs flew out and landed before him and the others. "This is the reward I promised you. Take it for now."
After everyone had collected their rewards, Chen Chen pointed to Clea, who was slumped on the ground, and said to Oshtur, "I'll leave this one in your care. She's not like Dormammu, so don't mistreat her. I'll take my leave now." He grabbed Kazusa's hand, and a portal opened beside them. The two leaped through and vanished from the dimension.
Kamar-Taj had already fallen into night. Moonlight streamed through the window of a tall tower.
The Ancient One lay on her side on a bed, her back to the door, rarely holding a wine glass and gently swirling it as she sipped.
"What? Not keeping your little girlfriend company?"
"She's already asleep." Chen Chen slowly approached the Ancient One and noticed the wine glass in her hand. "You're not yourself tonight."
"Everyone has their strange moments, don't they?"
"True. Everything's handled now. I'll be leaving Earth for a while. While I'm away, I'll leave things in your hands."
Chen Chen walked slowly to Ancient One's side and handed her a piece of jade. "If you encounter a situation you can't resolve, crush this. No matter where I am, I'll come back."
Without looking back, Ancient One accepted the jade. "It's nothing. My job is to be your housekeeper, after all."
She let out a faint, self-deprecating laugh and turned to face Qi Wu. A faint blush now tinged her pale cheeks as she gazed at Chen Chen's handsome face. After studying him for a long moment, she reached out and gently stroked his cheek, murmuring, "I have to say, though your faces are completely different, I always feel you two are so similar..."
"Are you talking about Kalu?" Chen Chen asked, catching her hand as he turned to look at her face.
The Ancient One before him shared a faint, elegant similarity with Tilda Swinton's portrayal in the movies, but their appearances and figures were entirely different.
This Ancient One was more voluptuous, exuding the allure of a mature woman. Though her demeanor suggested she was around thirty years old, closer inspection revealed skin so smooth and flawless it showed no trace of age.
