Chapter 372 Kaecilius, Dead! The Heir to the Dark Dimension, Klee...
"The power of technology? You really are a hypocrite. You used to use theology to deceive those who had lost faith in science, making them your tools. Now you're using technology to deceive those with supernatural powers. Hahaha, how laughable!"
Seeing that the two were still leisurely chatting about starting their jobs, Casillas, who had been ignored, immediately felt insulted and shouted to interrupt them.
The two then stopped talking, and Gu Yi released Skye from her arms and slowly stood up.
At this moment, the other clones of the Ancient One had also dealt with those dark believers, grabbing them by the neck and standing in a row behind her.
Like a triad boss, the Ancient One stood at the forefront, looking down with disdain at Kaecilius, whose spine was broken and who could not stand.
"I have never lied to anyone. I have only given them what they needed. Some people needed theology to save themselves, so I gave them theology. Some people needed science to save themselves, so I gave them science. I treated everyone the same, including you, Mage Casillas..."
"But your obsession was too great. When your heart was fundamentally incapable of resisting the temptations of darkness, you read those forbidden books, which led you to fall into darkness and become a follower of Dormammu. You went down the wrong path..."
Gu Yi's words were like sharp arrows piercing his heart, making him want to refute, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Because he knew very well that what the Ancient One said was true, and that she treated everyone equally.
Equal teaching, equal sharing of all knowledge.
The only thing I didn't share with them was about those banned books.
However, those forbidden books were not because Gu Yi was hiding them and unwilling to share them, but because those whose minds were not up to par would surely fall into darkness if they read them.
Just like... me right now...
This is something that the Ancient One told every sorcerer from the very beginning, and it is known to all sorcerers.
But... was he really wrong?
"No! I did nothing wrong!" Kaecilius roared at the Ancient One, his eyes red with anguish.
"I came to Kamar-Taj to resurrect my wife and daughters. You can't do it, but Dormammu can. I simply chose the only way out. What did I do wrong!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yi gently shook her head, her calm gaze turning indifferent.
"Hopeless."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cracking sound of bones breaking rang out continuously.
Behind the Ancient One, the necks of all the Dark Cultists that her clones were carrying were snapped.
"Kaecilius, you murdered the former librarian of Kagliostrault and beheaded him in your attempt to seize the Book of Kalyos, which summons Dormammu. It's time for you to atone for your sins..."
The Ancient One herself unfolded her fan, which shimmered with golden light, as if she were carrying a guillotine, and walked step by step toward Kaecilius.
Faced with the threat of death, Casillas's expression changed drastically:
"No, no, my wife and daughters haven't been resurrected yet! You can't do this! I am Dormammu's most trusted follower. If you kill me, He won't let you go, He won't let the earth go!"
"You are nothing more than an insignificant livestock to be grazed by Him. He can summon you back at any time to replenish His own power, and whether I kill you or not, He will not let Earth go..."
The Ancient One walked up to Kaecilius, ruthlessly shattering his last illusions, and raised the golden fan in her hand.
"No, no, Dark Messenger, save me!"
Seeing that his threats were ineffective against the Ancient One, Kaecilius looked once more at the purple-robed woman who had remained motionless throughout and reached out a hand to her for help.
But the woman in purple remained unmoved, watching them with indifferent eyes, as if she were merely a spectator.
*Pfft*
Blood gushed from the severed neck of Casillas, and his head and body fell to the left and right with a thud.
Casillas is dead!
Ancient One withdrew her fan and looked at the woman in purple robes: "As one of the heirs of the Dark Dimension, watching your followers die before your eyes without offering any assistance, aren't you afraid of alienating your other followers?"
The woman in purple robes remained calm as she faced the Ancient One: "They are Dormammu's followers, not mine. Why should I save them? Besides, I don't need such useless followers; I need elites!"
"I've heard Dormammu mention you. You're not bad. Become my follower. Once I take over the Dark Dimension, you'll be second only to me. What do you say?"
Seeing that the other party was even trying to recruit him, Gu Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, "It sounds pretty good, but why should I believe you can take over the Dark Dimension from Dormammu? Do you have that ability?"
Upon hearing the Ancient One's question, the woman in the purple robe slowly removed the large hood from her head, revealing her exquisite and alluring face, as well as her slightly curly silver-white hair.
Her purple lips parted slightly, her hands were raised high, and her expression was one of excitement:
"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you. My name is Cly, the niece of Dormammu, the ruler of the Dark Dimension, and the next successor recognized by the Flames of Power of the Dark Dimension. I am destined to inherit the rule of the Dark Dimension!"
The air was silent for a few seconds, but no one responded.
This made Cly somewhat embarrassed. She lowered her hands and looked at the Ancient One: "So, sorceress, have you decided to follow me?"
Upon hearing this, the Ancient One simply shrugged: "I'm afraid that won't work. Even if I were willing, I doubt the other two would agree. After all, while I'm alive, I'm essentially working for the Spider King of the Spider Family, and even after I die, my soul will still be working for the Eternal King..."
"Is that so?" Klee nodded slightly, then her face darkened. "Then there's no need for this planet to exist."
As she spoke, two deep purple blades appeared in Klee's hands, distorting the air itself. She swung them twice, slashing at the air in front of her.
Immediately, the space in front of her became as fragile as tofu under the purple blade, and an X-shaped cut was instantly made in it.
Furthermore, the cut rapidly enlarged in front of the woman in the purple robe, soon becoming larger than her.
"Dormammu asked me to come to this planet to help Him open a gap in the Dark Dimension from within. Originally, I wanted to see if there was anything interesting about this planet, but apart from you, it seems there's nothing that could interest me. Now that you're unwilling to become my follower, I have no reason to protect this planet that Dormammu needs. So, you'd better pray for yourselves..."
