Chapter 208: I'm Here to Negotiate Terms

"Jingle bell...…"

At five in the morning, Stark was jolted awake by his phone ringing.

"Who on earth is calling this early? Do you have any idea what time it is?"

Stark looked groggy and irritable.

He had spent the whole night with little Morgan and had just managed to get half an hour of sleep...

"Tony, it's me, Bruce Banner! Something major is happening. Tell the military to prepare for war..."

"What?" Stark was alarmed. "Slow down and explain. What's this about war?"

"The throne of Wakanda is changing hands, and the new king wants to avenge the descendants of all the colonists..."

"Dammit!"

Stark's exclamation was followed by him springing out of bed.

When he had taken Rhodes for treatment recently, he had seen Wakanda's level of technology, and it made Stark Industries look primitive. Not to mention, they have an endless supply of Vibranium!

"Pepper, I have to leave. Stay put and don't go out!"

He quickly donned his armor and rushed out.

In Hong Kong, a bustling metropolis, the entire sky was shrouded in darkness.

Doctor Strange, now the Sorcerer Supreme, stared gravely at Kaecilius across from him.

The surrounding space-time was constantly shifting; it was the ultimate showdown of Kamar-Taj magic.

In the sky, a massive crack slowly appeared, as if a terrifying energy that could destroy the world was emerging.

Fortunately, the time for all mortals here had been frozen; otherwise, it would have been unbearable.

In the distance, more than a dozen Wakandan fighter planes were approaching.

They were fortunate to arrive late, as Doctor Strange's spell had already concluded, and their time was not frozen.

However, they were equally unfortunate, as it meant they would face the brunt of the pressure!

Dark energy radiated out, turning the fighter planes into ash in moments.

Simultaneously, in Wakanda's control room, more than a dozen flight crew members screamed and collapsed, unconscious.

Strange could neither stop this nor prevent it.

He glanced at Wong and Mordo beside him and sighed.

With the strongest Avenger not on Earth and even if present, unable to match Dormammu, only the Eye of Agamotto remained.

He donned his cloak and flew towards the crack.

"Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate terms!"

"You're here to die!"

"Boom..."

"Ah--"

"Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate terms!"

"You can't stop me! No matter how many times you try, you will only be defeated!"

"But others will be saved."

"Damn it..."

"Report, Your Majesty. The plane heading to Hong Kong lost contact simultaneously. This is the last video sent before the loss of contact!"

In the council hall of Wakanda, ten soldiers reported to Erik.

"Lost contact? Could it be the Avengers are involved?"

Erik frowned and turned on the video, revealing a doomsday scene.

"Ah..." Erik's eyes were pained, and the power of the Black Panther surged violently. He was shocked, smashing the screen with a punch and then collapsing to the ground, gasping for breath.

It took him a while to recover his composure and realize: "Forget about Hong Kong. Our primary enemies are in Europe and the United States. Let's start there!"

Dormammu, unaware that he had actually done a favor, was being driven mad by a certain sorcerer.

"Stop this! Let me out!"

"No, I'm here to negotiate terms."

"What the hell do you want to discuss?" Dormammu forced himself to suppress his murderous rage.

"Take your fanatical followers and leave Earth. Stop your malevolent actions in our world and never return. If you agree, I will halt the cycle."

Dormammu's expression was one of disgust, making his already unpleasant face even uglier. Despite his humiliation, he had no choice but to comply.

"Ah! What's happening here?" Kaecilius and his followers were horrified as their bodies deteriorated bit by bit.

Doctor Strange floated down slowly.

"My deal is done. You'll get what you wanted soon enough, as part of Dormammu's existence. Although, you might not enjoy it."

"No, master, I..." Kaecilius screamed as he was pulled into the crack.

Strange observed their fate and remarked, "You really should have stolen the entire book. The warnings were written after the spell."
