Chapter 370 Ancient 1: Bullying the weak with numbers? The magic clone technique!
William Baker, that's the name of this seemingly honest-looking man.
That's right, he's the robber who killed Uncle Ben, the villainous Spider-Man, in the original Spider-Man movie.
However, in this universe, due to Toby's intrusion, the plot of Uncle Ben being killed obviously did not happen.
After all, if Peter gets into trouble or runs away from home, Toby can handle it without Ben having to personally go and catch him.
Toby will show Peter what the Gothic Fist is all about!
Because of Toby's companionship, Peter had someone to confide in, making him more cheerful than in the original story.
Therefore, there was never a storyline where Peter ran away from home or went to make money through illegal means.
This meant that William Baker didn't turn into a sandman after the robbery; instead, he and his accomplices failed to steal the car and were arrested and imprisoned by the police.
It wasn't until recently that Dormammu recognized the hidden Sandman potential within him, leading Kaecilius to bewitch him into becoming his follower and, like Skye, activate the Sandman abilities within him.
That's right, in this universe, Skye didn't awaken her vibrational superpowers because of the Terry Crystal.
The Sandman did not become integrated with the sand by falling into radioactive sand.
Both of them possessed superpowers activated by Dormammu using His dark power.
In other words...
What the two of them want to do is not actually up to them!
Just as Sandman and Skye had decided to abandon darkness and embrace the light, their dark, purplish-red eyes suddenly became lifeless.
"Hey buddy, can you do me another favor? Help me hold those guys back so they can't escape. It'll count as performance bonus for the new job I introduced you to, and it'll get you a raise!"
Strange clearly hadn't noticed Sandman's unusual behavior; he was still patting Sandman on the shoulder affectionately, trying to persuade him to help him.
However, the next moment...
BOOM——————
With a muffled thud, Strange was sent flying by a fist the size of a real sandbag!
Fortunately, Strange hadn't anticipated that his opponent would switch sides a second time, but his magic cloak reacted in time and blocked the punch for him!
Strange stopped mid-air, a twitch at the corner of his mouth. "Seriously, man? You're playing spy games with me? I only believed you were a good guy because you seemed honest!"
"Wait a minute, something doesn't seem right!"
But Strange, being the successor to the Sorcerer Supreme, immediately noticed Sandman's abnormal condition.
"So Dormammu took over my body. Well, even though I didn't get a single ally, at least it proves I had good judgment and didn't misjudge him, right?"
"I'm sorry, Gu Yi, but I probably can't help you for the time being. Good luck!"
Finally, Strange shouted something to the Ancient One, instantly activated battle mode, his face became ferocious, and two fire-breathing dragon heads emerged from his shoulders as he charged towards Sandman!
It seems that although Strange has stopped being evil on the surface, he is still influenced by evil deep down, and his methods don't look righteous at all!
But the effect was really good!
The fire dragon summoned by Strange perfectly countered Sandman's sand-transforming ability, and the scorching flames it spewed burned the sand on Sandman's body, causing it to crystallize continuously!
While Strange gained the upper hand in a 1v1 situation, what about the Ancient One, who was outnumbered?
The answer is... they achieved an overwhelming advantage!
Rewind to one minute earlier, when Kaecilius had just led his men to attack the Ancient One.
Despite Kaecilius bringing several superhuman followers to besiege the Ancient One, in the face of absolute power, numbers really don't matter much!
Especially someone like the Ancient One.
She didn't even have to make a move herself. Instead, a beach chair appeared behind her as she leisurely lay down in the face of the horde of Mammoth followers rushing towards her.
It's like giving up.
But just as the Dark Cultists, led by Kaecilius, approached the Ancient One, preparing to kill her, a wall of people suddenly appeared in front of them like a mirage, and kicked them back in unison!
This caused the Dark Cultists, led by Casillas, to tumble comically several times on the floor before finally stopping.
When they got up and looked up, they were horrified to find that the one Gu Yi had suddenly become a group, outnumbering their own!
Only Casillas, who was also a mage, narrowed his eyes and realized what was going on!
"The advanced arcane technique 'Form of Ekron' allows the user to create a magical clone; the stronger the caster, the stronger the clone!"
Upon hearing this, a believer in superpowers swallowed hard, utterly incredulous: "A physical clone? How can such unscientific magic exist?!"
Casillas: ......
Do you want to hear what you're saying?
Unscientific magic?
If it's scientific, is it still magic?
Another, more rational believer nudged the leader, Casillas: "Didn't you say you were a powerful mage too? Why don't you use that clone spell on her clones too!"
Casillas: ......
"I do have a strong talent for mages, but I haven't had enough time to learn..."
"What do you mean?" The believer who had just asked him to use his clone was taken aback.
Casillas gritted his teeth and said, "So, in other words, I defected before I even learned the clone magic, therefore I don't know the clone magic, understand?!"
Mary's stinky socks next door, are all these lackeys this stupid?
Why do you have to explain it so clearly yourself!
He's a man, and men have pride!
"What should we do? We couldn't beat them to begin with, and now they outnumber us. Should we retreat first..."
Upon hearing this, some believers began to consider leaving the faith.
Upon hearing this, Casillas couldn't help but glance back at the purple-robed woman who was still standing there, looking at him with a strange smile, before quickly shaking his head like a rattle-drum:
"Retreat? If you dare retreat, Lord Dormammu will show you what punishment more painful than death is. Those who don't want to experience it, then get on!"
"Don't worry, only one of these people is her true form. Once the true form is killed, these clones will naturally dissipate!"
At this point, Kaecilius's eyes lit up and he immediately spotted the Ancient One lounging on a beach chair, sipping juice through a straw and reading a magic book.
"That one lying down is the real thing! All of you, attack! Kill her! Charge!"
With a loud shout from Kaecilius, the believers, having no other choice, gritted their teeth and unleashed their superpowers activated by Dormammu, charging forward!
However, Kaecilius himself, despite shouting the loudest, did not go up. Instead, he looked at Skye, who was mind-controlled by Dormammu and had lost her godhood.
He immediately hatched an evil plan!
