"You can?"
Strange instinctively looked at Dio with suspicion. After all, in his impression, Dio, who had inexplicably come to study medicine, left a deeper impression on him, especially since he had seduced Christine.
Who would have thought that when they met again after several years, the "rich second generation" who he had once ridiculed had actually turned into a person with special abilities, and he also turned from a doctor into a wizard. It was really fate's trick.
Hearing this, Dio turned around and glared at him, "Get out of here and don't get in the way!"
Damn it, I’m a Stand User, the Chief Instructor of the Revenge members, and the ‘Red Scythe Death God’ who has experienced countless battles... Ahem, I didn’t mention the last title, but a weakling questioned it!
Seeing that he was so confident, Strange said no more and flew directly to where Dormammu was.
At this moment, Dio suddenly remembered something and shouted to him, "Don't include me and that old man in the fight!"
Strange, who had already figured out how to trap and force Dormammu away, was stunned for a moment. How did this guy know what I was going to do
He subconsciously looked back and saw that the time in the entire area was paused by him, or in other words, after he forcibly used the power of the Time Stone to reverse time, it collided with the rules of the dark dimension, making the concept of time in this area temporarily blurred, thus achieving a kind of time-stopping effect.
But the strange thing was that Dio and that weird old man, or was it the devil from hell? were not affected at all and were still able to move freely, which made him almost think that his magic had no effect on them.
Now after hearing Dio's shout, he had some understanding. Perhaps they could only be immune to this strange state, but could not offset what he was going to do next.
Strange continued to fly upwards, which gave him more confidence in the plan to be implemented next.
What he didn't know was that Dio, who had [The World] as his stand, was naturally immune to the effect of time stop, just as [Star Platinum] could move freely during the time when [The World] was paused.
As for the reason why the old man was not affected, it was even simpler. He was just a projection of Mephisto's will. As long as the time of Mephisto himself was not paused, his projection would naturally not be affected.
Unless Dio uses the cheating "Smash Varudo" or waits until Strange can use the Time Stone to pause the entire universe and even all multidimensional dimensions, it will not be truly effective.
Just as Strange was happily running to negotiate with Dormammu and then began to experience a thousand and one ways of dying, Dio also dragged his dark red sword towards Mephisto's projection.
"Mirror Dimension!"
Crash...
In order to avoid accidentally falling into Strange's time loop, Dio directly pulled him into the mirror dimension, where their fights and conversations would not be transmitted.
The finger of Ancient One was exactly like the initiation and power transmission in the Eastern legend, which directly omitted the steps of Dio's own practice. Of course, this was also related to his already very strong mental strength. At the same time, it also prevented other aspects of knowledge involved in practicing the mirror dimension from falling into the hands of an outsider like him.
In other words, Dio has actually acquired all of Ancient One's experience in using the mirror dimension and other techniques such as control methods, but he can only use it as a skill and is completely unable to understand the principles more deeply, let alone teach it to others.
It's like the same advanced math problem, and everyone else is following the steps and using the knowledge they have learned to solve it step by step and finally get the answer.
Dio simply cheated. He learned the final answer in advance from the teacher who set the test. Then he skipped all the previous steps and gave the final solution directly.
Although it seems that this method can achieve the goal faster, students like Dio who rely on cheating to solve problems may not even know how the problem was solved or how the answer was obtained.
However, Dio is not greedy. It would be better to say that this is more in line with his requirements. Anyway, he is not planning to join the lineage of the Supreme Sorcerer, so it is fine as long as he can use it.
"Mirror Dimension... Are you also from the lineage of the Supreme Sorcerer?"
After being pulled into this strange space, Mephisto remained calm, but his eyes suddenly revealed an indescribable disgust.
It was obvious that he had suffered a lot at the hands of the Ancient One and hated the people of the Sorcerer Supreme's lineage from the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, he would not have noticed Dio's abnormality when he was watching the show, and then resolutely took action and pushed him, wanting to use Dio to get rid of Strange.
If possible, he really wanted to kill everyone in this lineage right now!
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, but although I'm not from the lineage of the Sorcerer Supreme, I have a good relationship with the Ancient One. Although the Ancient One is gone now, I feel that I have an obligation to tell you demons a truth..."
"Don't mess with the Earthlings!"
With endless murderous intent, Dio instantly released the [Gaze of Death], and dragged an exaggeratedly huge scythe of Death towards Mephisto to reap the harvest!
"Really? Then let me see how much you are compared to Gu Yi to dare to speak so arrogantly!"
Mephisto's clone sneered, and faced with Dio's violent and ferocious attack, he simply raised the staff in his hand to block it.
And in the process of blocking, the familiar hellfire flashed by, and the originally ordinary cane suddenly turned into a dark and ferocious giant sword!
With a clang sound!
The extremely sharp [Gaze of Death] was unable to cut it in half, but the giant sword that was demonized by hellfire was still cut in half!
Mephisto seemed a little surprised by this. "I didn't expect to see weapons of this level in the hands of a mortal like you. I am beginning to look forward to it more and more."
Dio's eyes fixed, and he continued to launch a violent attack without saying a word.
Although the demonized giant sword in Mephisto's hand could not completely withstand the cutting of the Grim Reaper's scythe, the magic of hellfire was reflected at this time. As long as it was not cut off directly by a knife, it would immediately become intact after a flash of fire.
What Dio didn't expect was that the other party actually possessed an impressive swordsmanship. Although this giant sword was a bit too inappropriate for this human-sized clone, with the clone's impressive strength, it was able to exert some power.
Seeing this, Dio was no longer in a hurry, nor did he summon a stand. He just started fighting.
After all, there are not many such rare learning opportunities...
