Bab 77: Set
In the sealed space, Mephisto started losing power at a rapid pace. Without a connection with the Hell dimension, it wasn't long before Mephisto was sealed inside the pocket dimension created by Doom.
Doom looked at Mephisto in the green transparent sealed space and smirked, "It wouldn't be a Doom seal if the magic to be supplied to the seal was to use Doom's magic. What do you think of this idea, Doom will use the magic from your dimension to power the seal?"
Mephisto who was sealed in a space as small as a coffin growled at Doom. The seal was designed in such a way that no matter how Mephisto changed his shape, the seal would always feel like a coffin. It was both physical and mental torture for the devil.
Ignoring the growling Mephisto, Doom began taking out all kinds of mechanical devices and connecting them here and there. In no time a machine the size of a small PC was assembled.
"This here is an energy converter created by the humans you despise. Its function is as simple as its name, it converts one kind of energy into a different kind. This little thing will siphon energy from your dimension and power the seal that is sealing you. Interesting isn't it."
Mephisto could do nothing but shout and curse at Doom in anger. The more he used his magic to fight the seal, the weaker he would get so that wasn't an option. "I will get out of here. You know that, Doom. I will get out of here one day and come for you, your loved ones, and your species. I will eradicate that planet of yours from the universe."
"You can try." Doom left after leaving his final words.

Dr. Strange, the sorcerer supreme of Earth walked into the portal leading to Dormammu's dark dimension. His feelings were complicated as the bizarre scenery of the dark dimension came into view.
"Dormammu, I have come to bargain." Dr. Strange called out to Dormammu. He wasn't sure why but Savant had told him that it was very important that he say those words to Dormammu the moment he entered the dark dimension. He complied either way.
Right away, Dormammu's underlings began appearing from the clouds of darkness and attacking Strange. Strange was able to easily handle the corrupt dark beings. Eldritch magic flowed out of his hands and blasted away the dark beings en masse.
When quite a lot of the dark beings had been defeated, Dormammu himself appeared and his voice boomed throughout the dimension, "I was going to spare you for now if you just played with the little things but you have got my attention now. I'll wipe out your people after I end your life and take control of your body."
Strange looked up at the eight-foot large humanoid body of Dormammu decked out in dark armor. His face was monstrous, somewhat like a demon.
"You know, your niece is my lover. We are practically family now. Can't we just talk it out like normal relatives? We don't have to fight. Your son is even enrolling in my school." Strange started talking to Dormammu while his hands were constantly moving, casting magic.
"You dare taunt me! The first thing I'll do when I get to Earth is to kill those traitors. They do not deserve to live after betraying me." Dormammu shouted in anger and threw a punch.
Strange was anticipating the attack and immediately deployed the large shield that he had been casting from the beginning. The punch landed squarely on the shield and pushed Strange back.
Strange's legs released chains and anchored him in the floating darkness while his hands were shaking with the pressure of the punch. "I tried to end this amicably. But if you are going to threaten my lover then I'll have to get serious."
With Strange's declaration, a book floated out of Strange's robe and started glowing pure white. The glowing pages started flipping themselves and three large projections of a man, a woman, and a tiger glowed in pure white color behind Strange,
"So you brought the powers of the Vishanti. Do you think you can win against me with just that? If at least one of them personally appeared here, you might have had a chance at barely stopping me from getting out of here." Dormammu mocked Strange.
"It's a good thing I decided to come to visit you personally then?" A voice with deep bass rang out from behind Strange. The white light projection of the tiger's head started glowing brighter until a humanoid figure with a tiger's head the same size as Dormammu appeared out of it.
"Hoggoth! Did you finally decide to come out of the hole you have been hiding in? Why are you even fighting for Earth? Your people are long gone. Humans will never replace your people no matter how much you wish for it." Dormammu spoke to Hoggoth.
"Now you wish to talk! Are you ignoring me just because I am not the same size as you? Is that it?" Strange mocked Dormammu while casting new spells.
Hoggoth ignored Strange's taunts aimed at Dormammu and spoke, "You still have a choice. Just stand down and we can forget everything and go back to ignoring each other."
Dormammu started throwing dark smoky blasts at Strange and Hoggoth with a shout, "It is already too late. Just because you appeared doesn't mean I can't fight you two. Don't forget, you are in my dimension."
The fight began with Dormammu and Hoggoth slugging it out with each other, Strange who was a distance away took an assisting role. Random shields to block Dormmamu's attacks, chains to hold down Dormammu, or illusions to confuse the sights different supporting spells would come out of Strange's hand.
While assisting Hoggoth, Strange had to deal with the dark beings that would appear frequently to attack him out of the dark smoke flowing everywhere in the dimension.
The fight was expected to last for a long time.

Blue Marvel had retired from superhero for a long time. In the time when he was active as a superhero, he had to hide his skin while saving the lives of the people. Although he was a living, breathing anti-matter generator, he had to fear the humans who would die with just his breath.
As a black man who was stronger than anything that the racist white government of those times could throw at him, the government felt scared of his powers. They feared his black skin so they erased his existence and pushed him into retirement.
He stayed in retirement as they wished. He was a being with powers even he himself didn't understand and he didn't want to inflame the world that was already catching fire. He just wanted to teach and do his research.
Earth faced many crises, many villains came and went, and many natural disasters happened. He could've stopped most if not all of them on his own. But Blue Marvel had stopped existing for more than half a century, he wasn't going to come out of retirement.
Everything changed with the appearance of the guy called Savant. He forced the Blue Marvel out of retirement and brought him back into existence. He could see the sincerity in Savant's eyes, that guy wanted to create a better planet where everyone could live together without petty fights.
At first he was skeptical, but after seeing how Savant, Doom, and everyone else were striving to do better, he decided it was time for him to contribute too. He wanted to be a part of the change. He didn't want to hide away this time.
And, so here he was, stepping into a portal to fight something called an Elder God. Set, it was called. He had read some myths about the serpent god Set but he had never imagined that one day he would be fighting such a god.
Blue marvel could see serpentine vines everywhere he looked. It was like a huge pocket dimension filled with plants and trees made out of vines. There was a clear serpentine motif going on there. He could also see all kinds of snakes slithering, hiding in the foliage.
"This is very interesting." Blue Marvel, wearing his blue-black costume floated in the space as he observed the surroundings. As a scientist, an ecosystem quite similar but also entirely different from the Earth's ecosystem was a subject of interest to him.
"A human? No, you don't feel like a human. What are you? And why are you in my dimension?" Set's voice echoed throughout the pocket dimension.
"I am indeed a human. I was just enhanced by an accident. I was sent here by the Chancellor of Earth to negotiate peace or to eliminate threats to Earth. It depends on how you decide to respond." Blue Marvel who used to serve in the army spoke in a militaristic tone.
A huge serpent head appeared followed by smaller serpent heads attached to it and a voice echoed from all their mouths, "A human dares threaten me? You shall face death."
"Negotiations have broken down, beginning elimination." Blue Marvel began attacking Set.
