Chapter 231
Casillas was now in a frenzy.
Don't be fooled by his arrogance; he was actually a coward who preyed on the weak while fearing the strong.
Faced with the three giants opposing them, Strange's magical skills were unexpectedly formidable, which thoroughly frustrated them.
And Tony Stark, the Iron Man who was known by name but seldom seen, was wearing an armor equipped with unknown nano-elements capable of transforming into almost any weapon.
Relatively speaking, the easiest target seemed to be Steve Rogers, who was equipped with only a large shield.
In fact, Daisy Johnson, who could only boast, was also a target. The issue was that a very formidable witch was standing next to her, and a single glance from her made Casillas's subordinates turn against him...
Naturally, Casillas decided to go after the Captain first, aiming to eliminate the weakest link.
So he sent a corrupted apprentice to deal with Captain America.
The two of them were supposed to split the spoils equally.
Casillas looked down on his opponent and decided to take matters into his own hands.
Yet, he found himself held back by the Captain's resolute defense...
Casillas was infuriated; his strongest minion was stymied by the weakest member of the opposing team. Even a strategic horse race would have been less perplexing!
Soon, he realized he couldn't even secure a 50-50 chance...
A straight-handled umbrella about a meter long flew through the air, heading directly toward the combatants.
"What?"
One of Casillas's minions saw the umbrella and attempted to catch it, only to be pierced through the chest.
"I was impaled by an umbrella..."
These were the last thoughts of his mind...
The Captain, fighting Casillas, saw the umbrella flying toward Stark like a spear. His face changed as he leaped to grab the umbrella's handle.
In an instant, unparalleled power surged through him.
Steve turned and struck Casillas, who was pursuing him...
"Boom..."
With a deafening roar, Casillas's head deformed and then exploded like a watermelon...
"Who am I?"
"Where am I?"
"I was killed by an umbrella?"
As a series of questions ran through his mind, Casillas drifted into darkness...

In the dark dimension, Dormammu was resting with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, a weak soul flew toward him, prompting Dormammu to open his eyes.
"Trash! A bunch of trash!"
The enormous roar caused the entire dark space to quake, sending countless dark creatures fleeing. Casillas, who had just died, was nearly terrified to death again. He quickly fell to his knees.
"Have mercy! Master, please forgive me. Give me another chance, and I will complete the task... Mmm..."
A dark energy blocked his mouth, and Dormammu's voice thundered: "Silence! Explain to me what is happening. The one who obstructed my prophecy should not be your match. Who killed you? The Ancient One?"
"A fortified individual transformed by drugs... No, no, Master, please hear me out!"
Casillas, sensing the danger, knew Dormammu would not tolerate failure. He quickly added, "It's not that I couldn't defeat him. It's just that he used a divine weapon and killed me with an umbrella... Ugh!"
Before he could finish, Dormammu's giant hand snatched him up and tossed him into his mouth with a "plop."
*Crunch, crunch...*

The moment Casillas's soul vanished, the Ancient One in the New York Temple suddenly opened her eyes. Her expression was complex, hard to read whether she was relieved or disappointed.
After a while, she sighed: "To be honest, you should have stolen the entire book because the warning is right behind the spell. Embracing dark power is akin to seeking the skin of a tiger..."
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, shook her head, and smiled wryly: "It's ridiculous, instead of talking about him, isn't it the same for me?"

Captain America used an umbrella and a stick to eliminate the opposing leader in seconds, which astonished everyone.
"Wow, Captain America, when did you become so powerful? This stick could probably destroy a tank!"
Steve gave a mysterious smile, holding the umbrella high above his head.
"Boom..."
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the top of the umbrella. The lightning revealed the umbrella's true form: Thor's hammer.
The Hammer captain, now equipped to match Thanos, was ready for action!
As the saying goes, those who commit evil will be struck by lightning. For these traitors who had betrayed their souls, Captain America, who could now harness Thor's power, was delivering unparalleled intimidation.

Moreover, with the boss defeated, what was the point of continuing the fight?
Had Strange not been vigilant and blocking every portal, they might have faced their end long ago...
---
"You are too confident! Or rather, you all are too confident! Hahahahaha..."
Agatha taunted Wanda: "Your grasp of magic is like that of a child! I forgot to mention that I can draw power from those unworthy of magic. This is my ability!"
The immense power of chaos flowed into her body, while Wanda, on the opposite side, was visibly weakened.
Agatha was elated. She had nearly been overwhelmed by this couple but had unexpectedly turned the tide by draining chaos power from this foolish woman in one fell swoop!
With this power, she felt no fear of the Asgardian below!
"This... fool!"
Thor below sneered to himself.
The requirements for wielding chaos power are more stringent than those for the phoenix power. A fragment of phoenix power can be fatal to most strong men, let alone the full chaos power.
Thor, being an outsider, could see clearly that despite Wanda's exhaustion, Agatha's control over chaos power was still tenuous.
Thor nodded in approval.
It seemed Wanda, having experienced many trials, had learned to think strategically.
