Thinking for a moment, Doctor Strange cast the memory restoration spell again—but this time, he targeted himself. He needed to ensure the Ancient One hadn't tampered with his memories as well.
However, moments later, a strange expression crossed his face.
"I actually knew him that early... and I was kidnapped by him to treat Wolverine and Professor X?"
No wonder. No wonder Wolverine and Professor X gave him such odd looks the first time he went to Xavier's School for help. So that was why.
"You two really are birds of a feather... both of you love messing with other people's memories."
The corner of his mouth twitched. However, he had no intention of causing trouble for George later. After all, George was a ruthless individual who could casually one-shot Dormammu.
Moreover, with George around, very few Dimensional Lords would dare to cause trouble on Earth in the future. As the newly appointed Sorcerer Supreme, his job would be much easier.
Perhaps... perhaps he would even have time to date and win back Christine, the girlfriend he had driven away over the past few years.
Meanwhile, George followed the thread of the soul from the projection and located Dormammu's true body and the Dark Dimension hidden within the multiverse.
Before Dormammu could even react, a sword had already appeared in George's hand.
"Enuma Elish: The Sword of Rupture!"
Pouring massive amounts of energy into the unique, activated blade, George slashed at the Dark Dimension.
In the hands of Gilgamesh, this world-splitting sword could, at most, cleave a planet. But in George's hands, it could truly split the heavens and the earth.
Boom!
A massive rift was instantly torn into the Dark Dimension, and George seized the opportunity to rush inside.
"Damn insect! So it was your doing! You are courting death!"
As soon as George entered the Dark Dimension, he heard a furious roar. Immediately after, a terrifying black giant materialized before his eyes.
It was Dormammu's true form.
Because of the power of the Infinity Stones, Dormammu's projection had been completely frozen. This backlash affected the main body as well, causing his thoughts to stall for a few seconds.
It was precisely these few seconds that severed his connection to the projection. Coupled with George's sudden attack on the Dark Dimension, he realized exactly what was happening.
"Since you have entered my Dark Dimension, do not dream of ever leaving. Become a part of my body!"
Mobilizing the laws of the Dark Dimension to fully suppress George, Dormammu began casting wave after wave of terrifying dark magic, launching fatal attacks.
In his view, George's decision to enter the Dark Dimension was simply idiotic.
This was a world he controlled. Anyone who entered would be suppressed by him; retaining even thirty percent of their full strength would be an achievement.
If George had attacked from the outside, he wouldn't have been suppressed, and if he couldn't win, he could still flee. Now that he was inside, defeat meant certain death with no hope of escape.
"Sorry, but I don't want to become part of your body. Rather, I want you to become part of mine!"
George immediately released the power of his own internal world's laws to envelop himself, blocking out the suppression of the Dark Dimension.
Although his world was rapidly strengthening as his clones devoured and fused other worlds, the time had been too short, so it was still far less powerful than the Dark Dimension.
However, his world was entirely created by him, combining laws from various different worlds, allowing him perfect control.
Dormammu, on the other hand, was not the creator of the Dark Dimension. He had merely seized control of this world through trickery and dark magic, and likely couldn't even unleash a tenth of its true power.
Therefore, even within the Dark Dimension, George could use his own world to neutralize the suppression.
As for why he charged into the Dark Dimension to fight on Dormammu's home turf?
It was because if he fought from the outside, Dormammu could quickly flee if things went south, and George couldn't guarantee he could catch him. But now that he was inside, unless Dormammu was willing to abandon the Dark Dimension entirely, he couldn't shake George off.
And if Dormammu did abandon the Dark Dimension to escape, so be it. George's main target was the Dark Dimension anyway.
"Dragon Transformation!"
Facing Dormammu's dark magic attacks, George immediately chose to activate his Dragon Form, entering his strongest state.
"Source of Qi! Devouring Magic! Six Treasury Immortal Thief!"
Before Dormammu's dark magic could take effect, more than half of it was neutralized by George.
However, a small amount still struck George's main body.
Whether it was the decomposition ability of the Source of Qi or the Black Dragon's Devouring Magic, there was a limit. Against an entity of Dormammu's magnitude, it was difficult to completely nullify his attacks.
It was like how water extinguishes fire: if you only have a bowl of water but are facing a burning building, the water will simply evaporate into steam without doing much good.
Ultimately, George had only just entered the Single Universe Level, while Dormammu was an ancient Single Universe Level Dimensional Lord, with strength approaching the peak of that tier.
If not for the fact that George's individual internal world had also advanced to the Single Universe Level, the gap would likely be even larger.
"Avalon: The Everdistant Utopia!"
Just then, a massive scabbard appeared in front of George, blocking all the remaining dark magic.
Although his raw power was inferior to Dormammu's, he had a multitude of techniques.
Therefore, this battle was far from over.
"Super Magic: Fairy Glitter!"
"Super Magic: Fairy Law!"
Being a passive punching bag wasn't his style. After blocking Dormammu's dark magic, George immediately unleashed his two most frequently used Super Magics.
Dormammu was of the dark attribute, so light magic would be more effective.
Blinding white light flashed through the Dark Dimension. A massive pillar of light smashed into the face of the dark giant, Dormammu, causing him to let out a roar of pain.
"Impossible! How can light energy of this level hurt me?!"
To Dormammu, although George used light magic that countered him, the sheer volume shouldn't have been enough to cause significant damage.
However, he hadn't expected that the Laws of Light contained within those two spells were completely different from the Laws of Light he was familiar with. This rendered his targeted defenses largely ineffective, resulting in a heavy blow.
"Light of Middle-earth: The Two Trees of Valinor!"
George's attack didn't stop there. After gathering his power, he thrust his hands forward violently. The phantom images of two trees radiating golden brilliance appeared before his eyes and swept toward Dormammu.
This was a spell personally taught to him by Eru Ilúvatar, who had already broken through to the Multiverse Level.
This magic allowed him to manifest the light power of the Two Trees to attack his enemies.
How powerful was the strength of the Two Trees?
Merely being bathed in their light allowed Elves to evolve into the most powerful High Elves. The Silmarils of Fëanor were precious precisely because they absorbed the light of the Two Trees.
Even the Sun and Moon of Middle-earth were formed from the last remnants of the Two Trees' power.
