As he spoke, the breaker of worlds hammer in Peter's hand smashed down heavily.
This single blow shattered the "fulcrum" of this space completely.
The next second, the entire space appeared covered in cracks like shattered glass.
Following that, the ground beneath their feet shattered, and Peter and the others fell straight down.
After falling for several seconds, everyone finally felt their feet touch solid ground again.
They looked around and discovered that the World before them was much like the Hell controlled by Mephisto.
All around them, countless bizarre-looking creatures were currently eyeing them with strange gazes.
Noticing these monsters surrounding them, Gwen and the others instinctively assumed a combat stance, then couldn't help but ask Peter:
"What exactly is going on here?"
"Simply put, Dormammu has hidden a certain truth from us. He didn't dare let us see the true Dark Dimension, so he created an interlayer space between Earth and the Dark Dimension.
He made us think that place was the entirety of the Dark Dimension.
My eyes saw through his illusion, so I shattered that space, intending to see what the real Dark Dimension actually looks like, and why Dormammu would want to deceive us in this way.
I think the secret to us completely dealing with Dormammu might be hidden within this."
Upon hearing Peter's explanation, an old saying quickly surfaced in the minds of Gwen and the others—where there is an anomaly, there must be a demon.
Just as they were thinking this, those bizarre, demon-like creatures surrounding them opened their bloodthirsty maws toward Peter and the others, emitting strange, gibberish language.
"What are they saying?" Gwen couldn't help but ask.
She had just asked this question when Hela, standing to the side, waved a dark forbidden spell, slicing the throat of a strange creature that had rushed forward:
"Who cares? These guys have already taken the initiative to attack us, so they certainly aren't saying anything nice."
As she said this, she took the initiative to meet those dark creatures, killing all of these monsters in just a few moves.
"These monsters actually have physical bodies?! It seems they aren't magical constructs created by Dormammu using dark energy."
Just as Hela was deducing this, Peter reached out and pressed his hand onto the head of a monster. With this action, the Human Path ability of the Rinnegan was instantly activated.
Through this method, Peter could directly invade another's soul and read their memories.
Peter touched the heads of this group of monsters one by one. A moment later, he released his hand and looked at Hela, saying:
"You were right. These guys aren't magical constructs created by Dormammu, but the indigenous inhabitants of the Dark Dimension."
"Indigenous inhabitants?!" The Ancient One keenly noticed the key point in Peter's words.
"That's right, indigenous inhabitants!" Peter spoke slowly, revealing the key information he had read from their memories:
"Through their memories, I finally understand completely why Dormammu created an interlayer space to hide the true situation of the Dark Dimension from us.
Ancient One, you previously always thought that Dormammu was the Lord of the Dimension who was born alongside this Dark Dimension, and you thought he was the only living thing in the entire Dark Dimension, but in fact, everything you know is just misinformation that Dormammu deliberately created.
Dormammu is completely different from Mephisto.
Mephisto is the primordial demon born after the destruction of the true old Universe; he used his own power to create the Pocket Universe that belongs to him.
But Dormammu, he is not the creator of the Dark Dimension. On the contrary, in essence, he is nothing more than an invader who arrived in this dimension a little earlier than us!"
Once these words were spoken, it was truly Earth-shattering; the Ancient One was stunned by this outrageous statement.
"Peter, are you sure everything you said is true?"
Peter nodded with a serious expression and said:
"It is absolutely true. Because there is no concept of time in the Dark Dimension, the creatures here do not die of natural old age.
Therefore, the creatures I just read have actually lived for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.
Their memories clearly record how Dormammu invaded this dimension, and how he bewitched and killed the former monarch here."
As he spoke, Peter began to recount the history of Dormammu's rise to power in the Dark Dimension.
"From the memories of these people, we know that before Dormammu came here, the Dark Dimension possessed a complete society and civilization.
Before Dormammu arrived in the Dark Dimension, the Dark Dimension did not possess the method to devour other Planets or Pocket Universes.
Therefore, the resources and area of the Dark Dimension were extremely limited.
At the same time, because there was no concept of time, the indigenous inhabitants here would not disappear due to natural aging and death, so whenever the population of the Dark Dimension reached a critical value, the indigenous inhabitants of the Dark Dimension would begin to compete and slaughter each other. On one hand, it was to clear out the excess population, and on the other hand, it was to select a ruler capable of leading the entire Dark Dimension.
Before Dormammu descended into this dimension, the former royal family here was named Ornha. The appearance of Ornha's race was similar to humans.
During Ornha's reign, Dormammu and his sister Umar descended into the Dark Dimension from the outside World.
The appearance of the two siblings caught Ornha's attention, and Ornha asked them how they had arrived in the Dark Dimension.
Dormammu also took this opportunity to educate Ornha about his own power, and the method of how to let the Dark Dimension devour other Pocket Universes.
After learning this method, Ornha was ecstatic.
Because in his view, as long as the Dark Dimension could continuously devour other Pocket Universes, it could continuously expand its territory.
In this way, the resources of the Dark Dimension would never be exhausted, and new conflicts would not be triggered due to a lack of resources. Consequently, the royal power that Ornha had obtained could be passed down unshakably.
In order to win over Dormammu and his sister Umar, Ornha then appointed Dormammu as the State Preceptor and had his own son marry Umar, hoping to win them over through this method.
But he ultimately underestimated Dormammu's ambition. In the process of devouring other Pocket Universes together and engaging in slaughter with the indigenous inhabitants of those Universes,
Dormammu backstabbed Ornha and his son, Prince Orini, thereby successfully seizing the political power of the Dark Dimension.
After completing all this, he utilized his own magic combined with the dark energy of the Dark Dimension, which is how he made himself the Lord of the Dark Dimension!"
After hearing this account from Peter, the Ancient One and Gwen both wore expressions of sighing emotion.
But Hela and Kaecilius were dismissive of this:
"The story is indeed very unexpected, but the problem is, this doesn't seem to be of any help to us regarding how to take down Dormammu, right?"
