The mont he saw the letter, Shuma-Gorath was utterly confused.
phisto, a re Lord of the Hell Dinsion, dares to act this arrogant?!
Not only had he sent a letter, but he had actually mocked him in it?!
Had he been asleep for too long? Did these demons in other dinsions forget their place?
phisto actually dared to provoke him?!
"phisto, just you wait! Once I conquer Earth, I will devour your Hell Dinsion—then I'll devour you too!" Shuma-Gorath roared in fury.
With a deafening howl, the cosmic entity surged toward Earth with unstoppable montum.
anwhile, on Earth, Luo Bai received news.
It was a letter from phisto.
The contents were simple—just two words: "It's done."
After reading phisto's reply, Luo Bai smiled and turned to Strange, who had not yet left.
"Alright, it's settled. I'd say Shuma-Gorath will arrive on Earth tomorrow."
Strange: "???"
Wong: "???"
Both of them stared at Luo Bai, completely bewildered.
Unable to hold back his curiosity, Strange asked, "Sorcerer Supre, how can you be so sure that Shuma-Gorath will co tomorrow?"
"I asked phisto to provoke him into coming to Earth sooner. phisto just confird that it worked.
He's an evil god, sure, but he's actually quite reliable when it cos to things like this," Luo Bai replied with a smile.
Strange and Wong fell silent.
Although neither of them spoke, the shock in their eyes was obvious.
To be honest, in the past, whenever a Dinsional Lord invaded Earth, Kamar-Taj's first instinct was always to figure out how to drive them away.
But ever since Luo Bai beca the Sorcerer Supre...
Forget about defending the Earth—he actually wants these Dinsional Lords to co.
At first, they thought it was just so wild idea in his head.
But now, he wasn't just thinking about it—he had acted on it!
And he didn't even send a warning or a challenge himself—he got another Dinsional Lord to do it for him?!
This was just...
Strange couldn't hold back his thoughts any longer.
"I'm late to the party here, but... has Kamar-Taj always been like this?" he asked, exasperated.
Wong shrugged helplessly.
"It wasn't like this before... but now it is."
Strange muttered to himself, "Honestly, I'm starting to feel like Kamar-Taj isn't even a serious school for sorcerers anymore."
Wong raised an eyebrow and looked at him in surprise.
"You're only just realizing this? I thought you figured it out long ago.
You should have known when Dormammu ended up helping us protect Earth."
Strange: "..."
"Okay, fine... Let's get back on track. Should we return and prepare? After all, Shuma-Gorath will be here by tomorrow," Strange asked, turning to Luo Bai.
According to Kamar-Taj's usual protocol, if an interdinsional entity planned to invade Earth, the entire order of sorcerers would imdiately enter a state of combat readiness.
Normally, Luo Bai could handle these so-called Lords of Dinsions on his own.
But if they actually breached Earth, civilians would inevitably suffer.
The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj had a duty to protect humanity and minimize casualties.
Strange assud this ti would be no different.
But unexpectedly, Luo Bai replied calmly, "No need. Just continue training as usual."
Strange was stunned.
He frowned, turned to Wong, and asked seriously, "Wong... just how powerful is this Shuma-Gorath?"
He was supposed to be a major threat to Earth, and yet, Kamar-Taj wasn't even preparing for battle?
Why did it feel like this Beholder wasn't even as dangerous as... Dormammu?
Before Strange could process it further, Wong sighed and muttered, "That's because our Sorcerer Supre is too powerful.
If you doubt it, why don't you go fight Shuma-Gorath alone?"
Strange imdiately waved his hands.
"No, no, no—I think I still need more training."
Since the two had originally co to Luo Bai regarding the Beholder, and Luo Bai had already resolved the issue, they naturally prepared to return to Kamar-Taj.
"Sorcerer Supre, if there's nothing else, we'll head back to Kamar-Taj now," they said in unison, preparing to leave.
But just as they turned, Luo Bai stopped them.
"Wait a mont."
The two turned back.
"Is there sothing else, Sorcerer Supre?"
Luo Bai nodded.
"I was planning to return to Kamar-Taj to discuss this with you, but since you're already here, I'll just tell you now.
While Shuma-Gorath is nothing to fear, the Celestials won't be as easy to deal with."
"I don't know when they'll arrive, but when they do, Earth will be in serious danger.
So you need to push the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj to train harder."
"After I deal with the Beholder tomorrow, I'll be heading into the Multiverse.
I may even travel across different tilines, so I'll likely be gone for a while—about two or three months."
"So, in my absence... I'll be leaving Kamar-Taj in Strange's hands."
Strange's talent and strength surpass Wong's.
In addition, Strange has a high opinion of himself, so he might not be willing to follow many of Wong's orders.
Thus, letting Strange temporarily manage Kamar-Taj is the best choice.
To put it simply, it ans letting Strange take on the responsibilities of the Sorcerer Supre for the ti being.
Wong is a laid-back person. He has little interest in titles like the Sorcerer Supre.
Even though Strange arrived at Kamar-Taj later than him, Wong had no objections to Luo Bai's decision.
"Alright, Sorcerer Supre."
After accepting Luo Bai's arrangent, the two opened a portal and returned to Kamar-Taj together.
Luo Bai returned to the study on the second floor of his villa and began integrating his newly acquired abilities.
Previously, he had been too busy to properly analyze the energy he had absorbed from Death.
Now that he had the ti to examine it carefully, Luo Bai realized that this energy was sowhat similar to what he had absorbed from Galactus.
Both energies contained cosmic energy.
However, the difference was that Death's power also carried the ability to control death itself, along with a portion of magical energy.
This power over death was far greater than the power of the Soul Stone.
After all, the energy within the Soul Stone was rely a type of power—whereas the energy taken from Death was more akin to an authority.
With just a thought, it could erase an entire universe, absorbing every soul and bringing death to all living beings.
It had to be said—the power of a Primordial God was truly terrifying.
To better utilize it, Luo Bai spent the entire night analyzing this energy.
It wasn't until the next morning that Luo Bai sensed an unusual disturbance on Earth and opened his eyes.
The source of the disturbance was Shuma-Gorath.
Checking the ti, he saw it was 5:50 AM—still early morning, before daybreak.
Shuma-Gorath had arrived on Earth in a hurry.
It seed he had been furious after phisto's provocation yesterday.
Thinking about this, Luo Bai smirked.
Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he cast a Mirror Dinsion over the entire Earth.
In an instant, he pulled the Beholder into his own dinsion.
Monts later, a massive, octopus-like creature appeared before Luo Bai.
