"What?"
"Who are you?"
Dormammu was startled.
He sensed the power of a peak Celestial Father.
Boom!
Gungnir released a rainbow brilliance.
A massive energy torrent blasted Dormammu's magical flame body away.
He was forced out of a corner of the Vishanti's great array.
"So this is the dark demon god the sorcerers fight against?"
Tony, Captain America, and the others felt their legs weaken.
It was the crushing presence of a higher-dimensional being on lower-dimensional life.
Their bodies instinctively trembled with fear.
It had nothing to do with courage.
"I didn't expect Earth to hide so many powerhouses."
"Why didn't they join the Battle of New York?"
Natasha took a deep breath and said.
"Remember what Thor said?"
"The Chitauri army was too weak."
"They didn't need to step in."
"I thought he was exaggerating, but now it seems Thor was telling the truth."
"You have great audacity, daring to fight me in the cosmic other dimension!"
Dormammu, pushed back by Gungnir's power, roared with anger.
Kaiser remained unfazed.
He only wanted to test the power of his late eighth sense.
If he could sever his connection with Wanda in this battle, that would be even better.
Originally, he planned to collect all six Infinity Stones to create a new body for himself.
But now, it seemed unnecessary.
After refining Gungnir, Kaiser's divinity surged.
His Cosmo reached the late eighth sense.
His strength had grown immensely.
He now possessed battle power comparable to a god.
In Marvel's power scale, he was at the peak of the Celestial Father level.
Just one step away from being a god of a single universe.
"Come, let me see how powerful a dimensional demon god can be!"
Kaiser smiled, pointing Gungnir's tip at Dormammu's massive magical flame body.
"You're courting death!"
The Dark Dimension trembled, countless stellar fragments surging in the energy tides.
Dormammu's flame body suddenly split into countless magical clones.
Each clone began constructing a different magical array!
Black flames capable of devouring stars flowed within the arrays, forming a death matrix covering all 360 degrees of the spatiotemporal quadrant in a fraction of a second.
"Come! Let me test my limits!"
"Domain Expansion! Hundred Weapons Performance!"
A golden Libra scale totem bloomed beneath Kaiser's feet, countless weapons materializing in the space through his Cosmo.
Swords, spears, staffs, clubs... countless weapons shimmered.
Gungnir in Kaiser's hand erupted with an unprecedented nine-colored rainbow light.
Dormammu's countless clones simultaneously completed their seals, igniting tens of thousands of devoured stars deep within the Dark Dimension.
These stellar remnants collapsed into black hole missiles under absolute laws, trailing distorted spacetime as they hurtled toward the battlefield's center.
Clang!!
The golden Libra scale behind Kaiser suddenly tilted.
Countless divine weapons surged toward the stars.
"Ultimate Justice!"
The divine weapons collided with the stars, shattering space, the massive explosion sweeping through the galaxy.
This was a clash of peak Celestial Father-level powerhouses, dimming countless stars in the universe.
In the torrent of immense energy, countless beings wailed as they dissipated.
"Damn it!"
"A bunch of lunatics!"
Countless advanced civilizations fled in panic.
Dormammu's clones suddenly merged, forming a thousand-armed demon god before Kaiser.
Each hand on the demon god's body wielded the core laws of different dimensions.
Kaiser was undaunted.
The Aries constellation chart appeared beneath his feet, the Crystal Wall reassembling into an octagonal divine shield in a thousandth of a second.
Annihilation rays refracted across the shield's surface, forming a dazzling geometric light path, converging at Gungnir's tip.
"Come! See if you can withstand Gungnir!"
The spear's body glowed with interwoven Norse runes and Greek divine inscriptions, twelve golden constellation trails spiraling around a multidimensional piercing thrust.
Space shattered into colorful dimensional fragments.
With one step, the cosmic space quaked.
Gungnir shot forth!
The divine artifact's authority was activated.
Gungnir locked onto Dormammu's soul.
"Damn it!"
The thousand-armed demon god's arms began to converge.
They formed a colossal hand spanning boundless cosmic space.
Darkness laws entwined it.
As if to drag everything into darkness.
Where the hand fell, stars extinguished, and life perished.
Boom!!
The giant hand collided with Gungnir!
Space shattered in an instant, reassembled, shattered again, and reassembled once more!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"Is this battle going to destroy the world?"
"From higher dimensions to the third dimension!"
"Dimension demon gods are dangerous beings!"
Gods across the universe, with some understanding of dimensional demon gods, cursed furiously.
Their followers had all perished in this battle.
Even gods could only wail and flee in this conflict.
"That was close."
"It nearly reached Asgard."
Thor wiped cold sweat from his brow.
Asgard's divine array had been activated.
Frigga and Thor stood at the array's core.
In the higher dimensions.
Dormammu's thousand-meter hand was being crushed inch by inch by Gungnir.
The thousand-armed demon god's true form let out a galaxy-shattering roar, black blood that devoured light spurting from the severed hand's wound.
The liquid, upon touching the void, transformed into millions of miniature black holes, proliferating wildly in the dimensional interstice.
"I am eternal darkness!"
Three crimson crowns emerged above the demon god's head, each radiating a terrifying aura.
From the depths of the Dark Dimension came the sound of snapping chains, as seven imprisoned cosmic cores formed an inverted cross constellation behind the demon god.
Those were universes once devoured by Dormammu.
Now prisoners of the Dark Dimension.
"Cosmic cores?!"
"Let's see if you can withstand the power of a cosmic explosion!"
As Kaiser had descended in heroic spirit form, he bore no Cloth.
Two thought body avatars suddenly appeared beside him.
Wanda, in Kamar-Taj, felt the Chaos Magic within her surge like a flood breaking through a dam, unstoppable.
"Kaiser…"
"Athena Exclamation!"
Immense energy surged from Kaiser's hand!
Dormammu's inverted cross constellation began to rotate in reverse, the devoured cosmic cores emitting the dying glow of perishing stars.
Boom!
The instant Athena Exclamation clashed with the inverted cross, ripples spread through the entire universe.
Kaiser's thought body avatars dissipated, golden divine blood trickling from his lips.
A corner of Dormammu's crown shattered, leaking dark matter that stained three lesser universes in eternal night.
The shockwaves from their battle spread across the cosmos, countless stars dissolving into atoms.
"Exhilarating!"
Kaiser wiped the blood away, laughing heartily, as projections of the twelve Golden Saints' constellations appeared behind him.
Gungnir suddenly dissolved into fundamental particles, reassembling in the supernova's light into a divine spear projection spanning countless light-years.
Every being in the universe saw that spear.
Its shaft bore countless runes... Norse runes and Athena's inscriptions.
All weapons in Kaiser's domain shattered, their essence surging into Gungnir.
This spear, in the Saint Seiya world, could slay gods!
No need for deception... it held the raw power to kill gods head-on.
Dormammu let out a furious roar as the Dark Dimension collapsed inward.
Countless devoured civilization remnants coalesced in the demon god's hand into a Chaos Sword, its blade flowing with reality-warping black lightning.
A singularity domain appeared beneath the demon god, tearing even space into spiraling fragments.
When the divine spear met the demonic sword, the most radiant light since the universe's birth illuminated all dimensions.
"Kaiser's strength surpasses mine…"
In Asgard's divine palace, Odin sighed as he witnessed the scene.
In the pantheon of the divine kingdom, Zeus watched with a grave expression.
Countless gods observed the battle.
Even the ever-neutral Celestial Group had to intervene to maintain the universe's balance.
Kaiser's figure flickered in the energy storm, his eighth sense Cosmo burning to its critical point.
His pupils transformed into nebula vortices, each strand of hair glowing with the embers of creation.
Gungnir's true name echoed in the void, summoning the projection of the World Tree itself.
Dormammu opened an abyssal maw, spewing a dark prison containing millions of corrupted gods.
These fallen beings formed a death array, each cell transforming into a cursed weapon.
The Dark Dimension's power erupted again, unleashing an annihilation wave that shook the omniverse.
Kaiser stood in the void, a majestic shadow of the Nine Realms overlapping behind him.
The World Tree's blessing.
The Zodiac constellations began to shimmer behind him.
"Zodiac Clamation!"
An unmatched fist of light exploded, stars birthing and perishing in its radiance.
Dormammu's dark throne began to crumble, the remnants of millions of gods turning to ash in the holy light.
His magical flame body shattered.
"Damn it!"
"I'll remember you!"
Dormammu roared in fury.
He had been defeated in the universe.
Defeated in a direct clash.
No tricks involved.
Kaiser sealed the Dark Dimension's gate.
His body began to fade.
Taking this moment, Kaiser appeared in Kamar-Taj.
Wanda was utterly exhausted.
Her Chaos Magic had been nearly drained by Kaiser's battle.
Though it would recover soon.
For now, it could no longer sustain Kaiser's presence.
"Kaiser…"
Wanda's voice was frail.
"Rest well."
"After this battle, Earth should be safe for a few years."
"We'll meet again."
"Next time, I'll arrive in my true body."
"Wait for me, Wanda."
Kaiser gently touched Wanda's head.
His figure gradually dissipated.
Strange hadn't witnessed Kaiser's battle with Dormammu.
But he saw the changes in the sky.
Without the Vishanti's array, the solar system would have been destroyed.
As Kaiser vanished, Wanda's Chaos Magic surged back, replenishing rapidly.
Wanda, nearly unconscious moments ago, snapped awake.
"He's gone?"
Sensing her Chaos Magic, Wanda sighed.
"Yes, Kaiser is gone."
"Sorcerer Supreme, the universe needs you."
Strange sighed helplessly.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Wanda understood the magnitude of Kaiser and Dormammu's battle.
The universe's wounds needed the Time Stone to heal.
Kaiser bypassed the Hall of Heroes, returning to his true body.
Hum!
Golden light surged into the sky.
"Here he comes again."
Athena was the first to sense the anomaly.
Kaiser's Cosmo was rapidly expanding.
The Weapon Temple's space rumbled.
"He's here?"
"Late eighth sense!"
Athena's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Having seen this before, she recognized Kaiser's state.
As expected, in mere minutes.
Kaiser crossed the barrier from mid to late eighth sense.
His late eighth sense Cosmo surged.
The entire Libra Temple trembled.
"Another breakthrough?"
Aetius and Cresto, sensing the expansion of Kaiser's Cosmo, were utterly astonished.
Deep down, they felt a trace of relief.
Relief that they had sparred with Kaiser when he first returned to the Sanctuary.
If it were now, even together, they'd be utterly crushed.
Though, in that earlier spar, they hadn't lasted long either.
After an indeterminate time, Kaiser's Cosmo gradually settled.
Athena's phantom appeared beside him once more.
"Your divinity…"
"How did you do it?"
Athena hadn't intended to pry into Kaiser's secrets.
But this time, not only had his Cosmo surged to the late eighth sense,
His divinity had grown significantly as well.
He was now just a step away from forming a divine spark.
Kaiser, as he stood, might already possess the power to directly slay a second-tier god.
How could Athena not be shocked?
And this was without factoring in his Cloth.
If the Cloth Gem fused with the Libra Gold Cloth,
Kaiser's current strength would undoubtedly be enough to annihilate a second-tier god.
Death and Sleep, the twin gods, were no longer a threat to him.
Treating Kaiser as a mere mortal would lead the twin gods to a gruesome demise.
Athena hadn't expected that, just five years after the Holy War,
Kaiser had not only suppressed the Earth with the Zodiac Array's power but also gained the strength to directly challenge second-tier gods.
She wondered if Kaiser even needed the power to slay gods.
At this rate of growth,
In two hundred years, wouldn't he break through to the level of a first-tier god?
"It's my secret."
"I told you I'd share it when the time is right."
"But not now."
"We don't yet have the strength to confront the Heavenly Realm head-on."
Kaiser smiled at Athena.
He revealed no more.
This left Athena itching with curiosity.
She felt the secrets Kaiser held might surpass the limits of this world.
"A being more powerful than the secrets of the gods?"
That was all Athena could think.
She even wondered if Kaiser had uncovered something hidden within the Earth.
A secret above the gods.
Otherwise, his unnatural breakthrough speed was inexplicable.
"I finally have the power to protect myself."
"I suppose I can be considered your subordinate god now, right?"
Kaiser looked at Athena with a playful smile.
"Whatever makes you happy."
Athena shot him an exasperated glance.
At Kaiser's current rate of progress,
She suspected it wouldn't be long before she became his subordinate god.
"When you break through to the ninth sense and form your divine spark."
"I might have a gift for you."
Athena's face flushed slightly, as if recalling something.
"What gift?"
Kaiser's curiosity was piqued.
"Don't ask!"
"You'll find out when the time comes."
Athena huffed.
Kaiser was taken aback.
Women changed moods so quickly.
Even gods were no exception.
"Alright."
"I'll look forward to it, just a little."
Kaiser chuckled.
Athena wouldn't harm him, after all.
"Hmph! It's definitely a grand gift."
Athena said, her face still red.
Though he had reached the late eighth sense,
Kaiser chose not to roam the Earth, instead meditating in the Weapon Temple.
His power was now too great, his breakthroughs too rapid.
He needed time to settle.
Venturing out recklessly would alert the gods to something amiss.
Since the Mythological Era, no mortal had touched the divine realm before the age of thirty.
Such an existence, if discovered by the gods, would face only one fate: annihilation.
