Kurohane's portal opened at the New York Sanctuary. At this time, the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj was Wong. Strange had gone somewhere after opening his third eye.
Kurohane thought that Sam would re-form the Avengers, so Wong had to be his target. With a semi-retired Dr. Banner, Captain Marvel, Rhodes, Shang-Chi, and a forgotten Dutch version of Spider-Man, as well as She-Hulk and Daredevil, this lineup was quite interesting!
When Kurohane appeared at the New York Sanctuary, Wong and a group of sorcerers stared at him nervously. He had already sensed the dense dark energy on Kurohane, even more terrifying than what he saw on Kaecilius.
"Sorcerer! State your name!" Wong said with a slight tremble. The Seraphim Shield in his hand flickered.
"Kurohane, a student of The Ancient One, Lord of the Holy Dimension, Lord of the Dark Dimension," he replied.
Twelve white wings emitting holy energy appeared behind him, and in his hand he held a ball of dark energy that emitted black smoke. He looked evil and holy, and the completely opposite auras made him so... mysterious.
Wong swallowed. "The dignity of the New York Sanctuary cannot be violated! If you came to provoke, all of Kamar-Taj will be your enemy! Even against a strong opponent like the Scarlet Witch and Dormammu, we never backed down!"
"Of course I know you won't back down, I'm also a Kamar-Taj sorcerer! Why am I, a pious person, always considered a villain in your universe?" Kurohane retracted his dark energy and wings, looking at Wong. He took out a sling ring he hadn't used in a long time, and threw it to Wong.
Wong caught the ring. He realized it was a Kamar-Taj creation. In fact, it was The Ancient One's own creation, usually only used by direct disciples or the successor of the Sorcerer Supreme. However, that proved nothing.
"That doesn't explain your position. The dark energy aura around you doesn't lie!"
"Let me explain: some of you have secretly contacted Dormammu in the Dark Dimension, but got no response. Do you know why? Because I killed Dormammu, and now I am the Lord of the Dark Dimension! You even got the wrong Lord of Dimensions to call, how could you borrow dark energy?!"
Kurohane felt that there was a sorcerer behind Wong who had found information about the Dark Dimension and prayed for eternal life or great power. But Kurohane never answered because their offers were too bad.
"After I took control of the Dark Dimension, I haven't made a deal with any sorcerer. Does this explain it? If not, I have other proof."
Kurohane drew a semicircle with his left hand, and a holy portal opened. Holy energy came out, and three women with wings on their backs appeared. They bowed slightly to Kurohane.
The three were Valkyries, led by Urd. After the last battle in the Dark Dimension, Kurohane no longer met them in person. After they appeared, all the Kamar-Taj sorcerers lowered their guard.
Kamar-Taj had stood for many years, and there were sorcerers who could summon divine beings. But to summon three humanoid angels? Not a single one! Therefore, Kurohane's identity was no longer in doubt. He must be someone favored by the Vishanti Emperor Trinity.
"My Lord, did you summon us for a combat mission?" Urd asked with a look full of murderous intent at the sorcerers.
"No, no. This sorcerer thought I was a bad guy, so I asked you to come out to prove my identity."
"Then I'll go back now!"
"Why the hurry? You're already out, why not have some fun and see what the world is like now?" Kurohane snapped his fingers and changed their armor into three sets of white sportswear. He took out three stacks of money from his spatial ring and gave it to them.
"This is your spending money. You can play in New York for a few days before returning."
"Yes, My Lord."
Urd and the others turned, opened the Sanctuary door, and left without hesitation.
Kurohane looked at the sorcerers in front of him and smiled kindly. "Where were we?"
