Chapter 1201 Unexpected Result

"Dī Dī Dī!"

As the ominous black mist forcefully squeezed out of a rift in space rapidly coalesced and blocked the path of the Sovereign Race's golden spaceship fleet, several hundred golden spaceships in swift flight ahead also detected the unfolding change. Inside each spaceship, alarms blared.

In Sovereign Race's analysis, the sudden appearance of the dark mist in front of them was accompanied by a terrifying energy signature. According to the Sovereign Race's deductions, this dark mist before them might be a special and formidable lifeform in the cosmos.

As the supreme civilization of this universe, the Sovereign Race's absolute genetic perfection had led to extreme arrogance. If Loki was already a typical example of arrogance, every member of the Sovereign Race was inherently prideful.

Despite knowing that the black mist before them possessed formidable energy, they refused to divert their course or turn away. The pride of the Sovereign Race wouldn't allow them to do so. Thus, as the black mist continued to expand from the rift in space, the approaching Sovereign Race spaceships launched an attack.

"Swish, Swish, Swish!"

In the next moment, under the precise control of the Sovereign Race, the first round of firepower struck the expanding black mist in a highly coordinated manner. After the first attack, the golden spaceships of the Sovereign Race had already surrounded the rapidly expanding mist.

However, to their surprise, their attacks had no effect after the first round. Furthermore, as the black mist continued to expand and after their attacks, the detected energy levels were steadily increasing.

The perfectly arrogant Sovereign Race had no idea what this immense black mist, now the size of a planet, really was. If they had taken the time to analyze the situation, they might have learned something about it. 

However, in their arrogance, they only sought to eliminate the obstruction in their path and didn't think much further. Consequently, their ensuing encounter was largely self-inflicted.

The black mist that had emerged from the rift in space and was now under attack by the Sovereign Race was none other than Dormammu, who had left Earth and traversed space after being trapped by a temporal prison on Earth and subsequently negotiating with Lin Rui and the Ancient Ones before returning to Earth.

Afterward, Dormammu's avatar, having consumed a barren planet, departed the Nine Realms. Unexpectedly, as Dormammu emerged from the Nine Realms, still not completely free from the rift in space, he came under attack. However, this attack was merely an annoyance for Dormammu.

However, Dormammu's plan to consume Earth had failed, resulting in the loss of some dark energy. His mood was far from pleasant at this point. And just at this juncture, the Sovereign Race had run headlong into him. It was easy to imagine how much Dormammu despised the golden spaceships now dancing around him.

"Whoosh!"

Soon, before the second round of Sovereign Race attacks arrived, Dormammu's massive face manifested. His enormous, dark yellow eyes glanced at the hundreds of golden spaceships surrounding him, then narrowed slightly.

"Continue the attack!" After Dormammu's face appeared, Aysha, the High Priestess, issued the command for another assault.

"Yes!"

In unison, hundreds of golden clan members devoted themselves entirely to attacking the target. Simultaneously, each golden spaceship began preparing higher-level weaponry for action.

"Hum, hum, hum!"

"Well, since you want to play, I'll play with you!" Sensing that the surrounding golden spaceships were preparing more powerful attacks, Dormammu's face revealed a contemptuous expression, and he muttered to himself.

Boom!

The next moment, the black mist that had been surrounded by hundreds of golden spaceships suddenly exploded outward. Countless dark energies swiftly spread, engulfing the Sovereign Race's hundreds of golden spaceships before they could react.

Afterward, within Dormammu's core, various explosions and shockwaves continually reverberated. However, none of the spaceships could break free; they could only be seen tumbling within the churning dark energy.

It's uncertain how much time passed, maybe minutes, maybe hours. When the commotion within Dormammu's core gradually subsided, and the dark energy stopped churning, he began to retract the range of his dark energy. However, at this point, not a single golden spaceship could be seen.

"Whoosh!"

After retracting the dark energy, Dormammu didn't linger; he casually chose a direction away from the Nine Realms and drifted away. As Dormammu departed this stretch of the cosmos, all that remained of his previous location were some worthless spaceship fragments and a faint glimmer of gold.

And as Dormammu departed, in the Sovereign Race's central headquarters located in the heart of the universe, the golden-clad Sovereign Race members who had previously been full of spirit now fell into a stunned silence. Each of their golden faces wore an expression of deep frustration and disbelief.

"We... were defeated?!" Standing at the rear of the spaceship control room, High Priestess Ayesha muttered in a daze.
