Chapter 109

(Dark dimension)

"Dormammu I've come to bargain." Strange appeared as he looked around at the strange environment.

Fragments of what seemed to be planets were everywhere, as he stood on a floating rock.

It was long after a giant face with purple eyes appeared as a beam shot toward Strange he formed a shield to protect himself, but it was easily destroyed and he was killed.

"Dormammu I've come to bargain." Strange appeared again as if nothing happened.

"An Illusion?" Dormammu questioned.

"No this is real." Strange answered quickly with hesitation.

"Good."

Sword formed beneath Strange's feet and impaled him killing him once again, his body disappeared as a familiar sentence was heard again.

"Dormammu I've come to bargain." Strange appeared once again unhurt.

"Die" Dormammu screamed as he slams down on Strange crushing him to death, but once again a sentence was heard.

"Dormammu I've come to bargain." Strange appeared again unhurt, and the cycle continued for an uncountable amount of time Dormammu killed Strange, and Strange appeared once again unhurt.

"Dormammu I've come to bargain." Strange appeared once gain breathing heavily clearly this was tiring.

"We are stuck at this moment, destined to repeat it again and again for eternity." Strange says.

"You won't win." Dormammu says clearly frustrated.

"But I can keep losing, I can lose again and again." says Strange with conviction.

"Ahhh!" Dormammu screamed as the cycle started again.

Dormammu continued killing Strange as he appeared every time in a different way until he had run out of ways and was repeating them.

"RELEASE ME!!!" Dormammu shouted at the newly appeared Strange.

Strange was currently on the ground when he heard Dormammu, he struggled to his feet.

"Stop your invasion of my world and sealed the way here, you are not to return again." says Strange.

"..." Dormammu was silent.

Clearly, he was thinking of doing it.

"I...." As Dormammu was about to answer a voice interrupted him.

"I must say, the once proud Dormammu ruler of the dark dimension reduced to this by such a simple trick is funny." the voice contained endless ridicule clearly not caring if he offended the ruler of the dark Dimension.

The voice shocked the two as they looked at the source, there floated Cul wearing his armor and a glaive in his hand.

"Who are you??" Dormammu questioned.

But Cul paid him no mind, a he turned to look at Strange.

"Boy, I believe the old woman must have told you about me, I am Cul ruler of the serpent realm." says Cul.

"Cul? A foolish Asgardian, after beating Zeus do you think yourself powerful?" Dormammu questioned.

"Zeus?? That was years ago, and I never looked at Zeus as an opponent at most he was but a bug that I killed with ease, much like you, the only difference being you are slightly bigger." says Cul.

"And I don't like being interrupted." says Cul as he waved his hand in Dormammu's direction, and he was quickly covered in a purple hue and his movements stopped.

"Now, how about you and I bargain." says Cul as he looks at Strange.

"What do you want?"Strange questioned as he stepped back, he wasn't afraid of Dormammu, but Cul was another matter altogether, his body was screaming at him not to move, and the thought of playing dead even appeared in his mind.

"No need to be afraid, I just want the gem." says Cul.

"I'm sorry but that is impossible." Strange against his brain screaming for him to agree refused Cul.

"Mhm, I see you are as stubborn as the old woman, but remember this the only reason you all have kept the gem is that I didn't need it, when I do need it there will no longer be the opportunity to bargain I will take it." says Cul as he waved his hand and space collapsed and Strange disappeared.

Now Strange was gone Cul was alone with Dormammu.

"You know, I've come to realize something the being with little power like you, Zeus the old woman, and this Strange all seem to think too highly of yourselves while thinking lowly of me, but it doesn't matter you all will be dead as I continue on my quest to become stronger." says Cul looking at Dormammu.

"Anyways, you have the honor of becoming a small part of my journey to the top, so become my power." says Cul

"Devour!" Cul shouted as his body becomes bigger as he opens his mouth and completely as a black gas erupts and consumes Dormammu and returns to Cul.

"I wonder how much stronger I'll be after this is finished?" Cul questioned as he felt the power starting to merge with him.
