Chapter 194: Kamar-Taj

The division of the Marvel world's power system is actually quite orderly. Although in some comics, operations that break the upper and lower limits are often made, they are generally traceable.

And the cliché ranking is the division of cosmic levels, from small to large, they are: Single Universe, Multiverse, Megaverse, Omniverse, Unique, five levels.

Most heroes known to Marvel movie audiences belong to the Single Universe level, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, etc.

And audiences who have read some comics may learn about the existence of other levels, such as the five creation gods of the Multiverse level. Of course, the most well-known one is Thanos who put on the Infinity Gauntlet, which is the ultimate villain of the movie universe.

But as strong as the Gauntlet version of Thanos, he is only at the Multiverse level, and there are still many existences whose abilities are above him.

The most famous in the Megaverse is Nemesis. In fact, Nemesis is the true source of the Infinity Stones.

This story is simply that Nemesis lived and felt bored, so she turned herself into 6 stones, so to talk about the culprit of Thanos snapping his fingers, it has to be traced back to Nemesis at the Megaverse level.

And above this level, there are also two celebrities at the Omniverse level, one is the Living Tribunal who counterattacked from a loser, and the other is the well-known Phoenix Force.

The Living Tribunal was originally created by Nemesis, but was later killed by the Beyonders, and Adam among them became the new Living Tribunal, directly obeying OAA, the big boss of the entire Marvel universe.

And the Phoenix Force doesn't need to be mentioned. What Marvel universe lacks most is Phoenix fans. However, it should be mentioned here that the Omniverse level Phoenix Force refers to the most complete version of the Phoenix Force, and below her, there is a White Phoenix of the Crown, which is a Multiverse level existence.

It should be noted that the complete version of the Phoenix Force has never truly appeared in the Marvel universe. Even the most powerful White Phoenix of the Crown is just a tiny bit of a clone of the complete Phoenix Force, and its strength is not worth mentioning compared to the real Phoenix Force.

And at this level, the most famous is the omniscient and omnipotent OAA, which can be called the big boss of Marvel universe.

The settings of these division levels are actually more complex than they look, because you also have to distinguish their positions, behavioral logic, and origins, etc.

For example, although Spider-Man is a Single Universe level existence, the Spider Totem behind him is a Multiverse level existence, and the Morlun family is also a Multiverse level existence.

Just looking at this example, there is a difference between Multiverse level and Multiverse level. If you really want to talk about it, the Morlun family and the White Phoenix of the Crown both belong to the Multiverse level existence, but the strength is more than a world of difference.

Maybe you are thinking, how weak can a Multiverse level existence be?

But in fact, in the comics, the Morlun family has no bright performance. Their so-called absorbing power depends more on restraint factors, and their opponents are basically Single Universe level existences. Being able to mix into the Multiverse level is all because the Master Weaver opened the door, and it belongs to a relationship household.

Speaking of dimension demons, this concept is also a collective term, and its members include existences at the Multiverse and Single Universe levels.

Among them, as strong as the master of the Crimson Dimension, Cyttorak, belongs to a big boss at the Multiverse level. Not only does he ignore the influence of the Infinity Stones, but he can beat whoever he wants in his own field.

A bit worse than him is Dormammu of the Dark Dimension. In the early settings, he was very strong and was described as second only to the old version of the Living Tribunal, but later it became a bit sloppy.

Then there are Shuma-Gorath originating from Cthulhu mythology, Zom who is said to be stronger than Dormammu but relatively niche.

Of course, there are also the Trinity Vishanti, etc.

And besides these, there are Hell Lords Mephisto, Lucifer, Blackheart, etc., who can also be counted as demons.

Although these settings sound a bit god-like and complex, if you change the angle, it is easy to understand.

For example, these demons are not without dealings with each other. They know each other, have formed some organizations, and will also join forces to cooperate when encountering trouble and crises. After cooperation, they have also split into several pieces on the spot.

Does it sound familiar?

That's right, they are like a magnified evil version of a superhero team. The members know and are familiar with each other. The territories they live in are different, but they also chat occasionally. After encountering some things, they will form a temporary combat committee, and they will also fight when they encounter differences.

They also understand strategies such as uniting and horizontal, borrowing power to fight, winning by weakness, etc. Mephisto once had paranoia, feeling that Dormammu was going to destroy him, so he gathered Hela, Mephisto, Hades, etc., held a combat meeting, and decided to engage Dormammu.

Their meetings are no different from superheroes, that is, find a table to sit down, then express their opinions, and finally break up unhappily and leave it at that.

In the Fear Itself branch, even Cyttorak, the master of the Crimson Dimension, the big demon Chthon, and Shuma-Gorath participated in the meeting, basically everyone sitting in a circle and speaking in turn. In the end, Mephisto said something amazing, but in fact, it didn't have any use.

This proves that they actually have stable social relationships and also have their own interests and positions.

Among them, the stronger ones appear to be more detached from the world, such as Cyttorak, who closes the door, and his own days can be lived well, looking like he has no desires.

But in fact, this is not the case. In the comics, Cyttorak also organized his own demon team to create influence on Earth. Dormammu doesn't need to mention it. He is uncomfortable if he doesn't come to Earth to spread darkness for a day.

And demons who are not as strong as them are even more nakedly fighting for each other. In order to obtain more power and larger territory, they basically fight small fights every three days and big fights every five days. When they are excited, the field of division is chaotic, and they can make some big news every three or five days.

"It is difficult for you to expect demons born in chaos and confusion to understand what rules and order are." Gu Yi summarized: "Their pursuit of power is born, and it is engraved in their instincts."

"I don't quite understand." Strange asked suspiciously: "They pursue power, so they pursue it. Why come to Earth? What attracts them to Earth?"

"Earth is special, it is the center of the universe." Gu Yi's tone is still unhurried.

Strange just wanted to speak, Gu Yi explained: "I know, maybe in your worldview, Earth is just an ordinary planet in the universe, the center of the solar system is the sun, and the galaxy is also infinitely vast, but in the theory of multiverse and dimensions, it is not the case."

"The vast majority of extra-dimensional demons come from Earth. Part of their power comes from the faith of Earth believers. Therefore, they want to expand their influence here, and then obtain greater power. This is an instinct that every demon cannot escape, even as powerful as Dormammu."

Then, Gu Yi's tone became brisk: "That's why I said your plan brought me a lot of surprises, you grasped the key point."

"Although dimensions cannot be simply understood as distance and proximity, if you have to use concepts you can understand to explain it, then the current situation is that the Crimson Dimension is closer to Earth, the Hell Dimension is not far, and the Dark Dimension where Dormammu is located is relatively far, closer to the division field, but in fact it is also very close."

"With these three dimensions, most of the demons with insufficient strength cannot extend their territory to Earth here. This is also the tacit understanding reached by several generations of Earth's Supreme Sorcerers with them."

"But the problem is, with these three dimensions, other demons have no power to extend their territory in. I don't mind collecting the power of these demons for my own use, but they are blocked outside, and it is quite troublesome to run out every time."

Strange even heard a little expectation in Gu Yi's tone. Gu Yi continued: "There are fewer and fewer demons who dare to hit Earth head-on. Many new generation demons have learned to be smart. Even if they have something to find other demons in this area, they will first go to Odin to knock on the door."

Gu Yi shook her head and said: "Demons like the kind that ran to the sky above Earth and shouted loudly to rule Earth have not appeared for a long time."

I don't know if it was an illusion, Strange actually heard deep regret from this sentence.

"I didn't have enough experience when I first took over as Supreme Sorcerer, and I handled this kind of thing too arbitrarily, leading to a lack of stamina now." Gu Yi said in a low voice.

But combined with the previous experience of this Supreme Sorcerer, Strange knew that she was regretting that she had been too heavy when she was young. Those demons who came to Earth were beaten too miserably, so that most people dare not come now.

"But fortunately, you will definitely be a qualified successor." 【

Strange hurriedly said, "This plan still requires your help; we still have many difficult obstacles we haven't overcome."

"I can help you contact the Vishanti. I think they will be very interested in this plan."

"There is one more question, regarding the power of the Demon Gods. I knew before that there are many different Demon Gods in the universe, but is their power interchangeable? Can it be treated as a general equivalent like money?"

"If their power were not interchangeable at all, then why would they fight over territory?" The Ancient One asked Strange in return.

Strange thought for a moment; it was indeed true. If attacking the other party didn't allow one to plunder power that could be used, then why fight?

"The origin of the universe is consistent; power is merely a manifestation. If one must name an exception, it is Earth."

The Ancient One revealed more secrets to Strange: "Earth, or rather the faith of Earth's humans, is different. Humans on Earth can provide the most refined power to Demon Gods, which is why they rack their brains to compete for believers on Earth."

"And while the power between Demon Gods can be converted, it takes time and involves loss."

Strange stroked his chin; he understood what the Ancient One meant.

Simply put, the power of faith from Earthlings is like Wagyu beef—tasty and nutritious—while the power of other Demon Gods is a bit like black bread; the texture is poor and it's hard to eat, but it keeps you full.

And the main reason this plan can succeed is that most cosmic Demon Gods born from chaos have an endless pursuit of power, just like a glutton who is never full.

If it takes the same amount of effort to obtain a Wagyu steak or a piece of black bread, everyone would certainly choose the former. But if this choice between two options becomes a Wagyu steak versus a ton of black bread, these gluttons with endless appetites will definitely choose the latter.

To Strange's surprise, not only did the Ancient One not think this plan was unscrupulous, she also quickly helped Strange perfect the execution method on an occult level. The Ancient One continued: "Odin, the All-Father, is the rightful ruler of the Nine Realms and the nominal lord and king of Midgard. If a meeting is to be held, it will certainly be in the palace of Asgard."

"Let's do this," the Ancient One said directly. "In a while, I will take you to see Odin. We will discuss this plan together and see when his palace can be cleared. I think it should be fine in these next few days."

Then she turned her head and said to Wong beside her: "Have Mordo communicate with the Dark Dimension and ask if Dormammu is free lately."

"You personally communicate with the Crimson Dimension. I remember Cyttorak has already ended his previous season of slumber. Although he belongs to the neutral Demon Gods, he should also be happy to come and join the fun."

"Point Guard is Here"

"What was the name of the apprentice who last made contact with Mephisto? Lucas? Then let him go and ask that Lord of Hell if he is free lately."

"I remember Valtorr ran off to the Realm of Lingering recently; I don't know if he has returned. If he has, remember to have someone call him. Karakan was beaten half to death last time; I estimate he hasn't recovered yet..."

The Ancient One shook her head and said with a hint of disappointment: "Counting it up like this, there are too few who are useful."

---Author's Note---

Searching for information has left me confused. Is Morlun really just this?

What about his battle record? His reputation? His cool entrance?

If anyone has found anything, post it. Anyway, I haven't found any famous battle records. (The only thing is fighting cosmic bugs, which was a matter of attribute suppression.)

Please, you are very weak.
