The magic born from the fusion of six elemental powers had already surpassed ordinary understanding.
Even Dormammu treated it with caution.
Feeling the pain from behind, and staring at the sorcerer who had dealt him such a heavy blow, Dormammu felt genuine regret.
Regret for coming to this universe.
He hadn't even encountered that damned woman-the one who had fought him for who-knew-how-long before being stopped by her disciple.
If he met her again, the outcome was obvious.
Dormammu was not at his peak.
Crossing countless dimensions while carrying his Dark Dimension placed an immense burden on him.
The power he could wield now was limited.
If this were his own dimension, he could crush this little ant instantly.
Yes.
Noah was an ant in his eyes.
But an ant worthy of attention.
An ant that might one day stand at the same height as him.
From the most fundamental perspective of a sorcerer, Noah's casting speed alone was terrifying.
No matter how powerful the spell, his speed never wavered.
Dormammu sensed trickery.
That magic-like an independent universe-had to obey rules of output and mental strain.
It was like drawing water.
A hose, no matter how wide, always had a limit.
But a great river?
No waiting.
If ordinary sorcerers were hoses, Noah was a surging river.
And that independent universe was exquisitely constructed.
Six elements interacted in perfect balance.
Any mistake-any instability-and it would collapse.
But it didn't.
Not once.
Noah maintained that pseudo-universe.
Cast devastating spells nonstop.
And sustained an infinite time loop.
All at once.
Faced with a being like this, there were only two options.
Recruit him.
Or destroy him.
But right now, Dormammu could do neither.
His incomplete power couldn't defeat a sorcerer hiding within the river of time.
"Damn it!"
Dormammu roared, feeling the hole burned through him from behind.
Fury exploded.
He smashed Noah's domain apart with a single punch.
Still not satisfied, he grabbed Noah and crushed him into fragments.
The next moment-
Noah reappeared.
Domain intact.
As if nothing had happened.
Dormammu finally snapped.
This endless battle.
This prison of time.
It was driving him insane.
Worse-
The sorcerer in front of him was using him as a whetstone.
And Noah's growth was horrifying.
Dormammu wasn't afraid.
But he wanted out.
This was not what he had expected.
After another half hour of battle-
No.
After countless cycles-
Dormammu no longer wanted to see Noah.
As Noah gathered magic again, Dormammu roared,
"Stop! You idiot! Stop right now!"
"What's wrong?"
Noah bared his teeth, then smiled.
"We haven't fought that long, have we?"
"Let me think. Decades? Centuries?"
"It's all an instant!" Dormammu thundered.
"If you dare end this damned loop, I swear I'll give you a comfortable death!"
"Are you stupid?"
Noah sighed.
With a light wave of the Space-Time Star Wand, his domain perfected itself.
Flames.
Mountains.
Wind.
Rain.
Space.
Time.
Everything harmonized.
The six massive halos slowly overlapped.
The point of fusion expanded.
Elemental fusion.
A real breakthrough.
Noah smiled faintly.
The fatigue was overwhelming.
Not physical.
Not mental.
It came from his core.
Revulsion spread through him.
He hated this.
Infinite cycles.
Infinite deaths.
But he sealed those sensations away.
He forced himself to remain at peak output.
"Enough!"
Before Noah could attack, Dormammu roared.
"Enough! What do you want?"
"Do you even intend to kill me?"
"No."
Noah exhaled.
"I can't kill you. I'm not qualified."
"But trapping you is easy."
"Unless you admit defeat."
"And agree to spread this-"
"Don't even think about it!"
Dormammu interrupted, firing a black beam instantly.
Noah didn't flinch.
He had died to that attack countless times.
Calmly, he raised his domain.
The beam vanished.
Only ripples spread.
Noah swallowed.
Dormammu was still terrifying.
A casual spell shook his defenses.
No wonder he had killed Noah so many times.
Noah took a breath and prepared again-
Then he sensed something.
He looked up.
Two figures crossed the spatial current.
Relief washed over him.
The Ancient One.
And All-Father Odin.
"It's you!"
Dormammu snarled.
His gaze fixed first on the Ancient One, then Odin.
"A thief and an executioner. How amusing."
"Be quiet, Dormammu."
The Ancient One ignored him and smiled at Noah.
"Well done, Noah."
"Thank you, Master."
Noah finally relaxed.
This meant it was over.
He didn't know why she arrived only now.
He didn't care.
With the system's help, he had suppressed the flood of negative emotions.
Otherwise, this would have been impossible.
Now that it was over, the fatigue surged violently.
He needed rest.
"Go back and rest," Odin said calmly.
"Leave this to us."
"Reflect on your gains."
"Understood, Your Majesty."
Noah nodded.
Just as he was about to leave-
"Noah."
The Ancient One stopped him.
"The harm caused by Mordo and Kaecilius must be addressed."
"They were Kamar-Taj sorcerers."
"I understand, Master."
Noah bowed.
This responsibility belonged to him.
Kaecilius's betrayal didn't erase his origin.
And the Time Stone was with Noah.
Suppressing the exhaustion, Noah let the system release its block.
Magic twisted.
He appeared beside Fury.
Wong.
Mordo.
Victor.
Kaecilius.
They were already facing each other.
"Noah-" Fury started.
Noah cut him off.
"Didn't I tell you?"
"You're not qualified to interfere."
"Do you want to die?"
"Do you want 'seeker of truth, dead for it' carved on your tombstone?"
Fury fell silent.
Noah turned to Kaecilius.
He was too tired for words.
Or maybe he was numb.
The Space-Time Star Wand moved.
Magic erupted.
Kaecilius didn't even scream.
His body shattered like glass.
Fragments scattered.
Noah didn't look back.
Green light surged.
Time reversed.
New York rewound-
Like a film playing backward.
At last.
It was over.
