Chapter 1170: Send Out
As Lin Rui walked away from Iceman, Tony and Rogers intercepted him. Judging by Lin Rui’s recent actions, it was clear that he intended to face the shrunken Dormammu once again alongside Iceman and the others.
This situation left Tony and Rogers feeling helpless, considering their significant influence on Earth, where even their slightest actions could send ripples across the world.
“It’s alright, Tony, Captain Rogers. Dormammu is indeed powerful, but we are not weak either. Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, Dormammu’s appearance here in this diminished state suggests that he has abandoned his main body to deal with the Ancient One. So, he might not be as formidable as it seems,” Lin Rui reassured them calmly.
In fact, when Dormammu had forcibly squeezed through those small spatial rifts earlier, Lin Rui had already suspected this. With the combined strength of Ancient One, King Odin, and Ego, even Dormammu wouldn’t have been able to escape their grasp so quickly and intercept them on Earth again.
Therefore, the Dormammu they faced now was likely only a small portion of his true self. Although he appeared equally powerful, Lin Rui didn’t sense the same level of threat as when facing Dormammu’s main body.
“Are you sure? While we’re here to protect Earth, there’s no need to go into this battle alone,” Tony remarked.
“Tony’s right. We’re not far from Earth now, maybe we can lure Dormammu there. On Earth, we have more advantages and resources,” Captain Rogers added.
Upon hearing their suggestions, Lin Rui shook his head. One of the reasons Dormammu had crossed over into this region rather than seizing the opportunity to devour Earth while Ancient One, King Odin, and Ego were occupied was due to the attacks Lin Rui and the others had launched earlier.
In Dormammu’s eyes, it had been ridiculous for these small beings, like Lin Rui and his team, to attempt to take action against him. He had initially been interested in them, which is why he had given them time to “perform.”
However, he hadn’t expected that when he got a bit serious, they would manage to escape. Now, with Ancient One no longer a threat, Dormammu naturally wanted to deal with these “pests” first.
If Lin Rui and the others were to lure Dormammu to Earth, not only was it uncertain whether Earth’s own forces could harm Dormammu, but if Dormammu abandoned the chase and decided to consume Earth instead, no one would be able to stop him.
“Luring Dormammu to Earth isn’t a wise move because we can’t be certain if Earth can withstand him,” Lin Rui explained further.
Of course, if the new Supreme Mage Stephen Strange had truly matured, Lin Rui would have been willing to lure Dormammu to Earth. However, seeing that Ancient One had opted to bring Loki, the God of Mischief, to face Dormammu rather than Strange, Lin Rui had a hunch that Strange was not yet powerful enough to confront Dormammu.
“Well…”
“There’s no time left; let’s get going. Besides, this time, we might not necessarily lose,” Lin Rui declared.
With Lin Rui’s resolute words, Iceman, who had remained composed throughout, approached. Thor was already standing beside Lin Rui, and Loki, despite his initial inaction, cast a quick glance toward Lin Rui and decided to follow Thor.
Jack, who should have been among the combatants, had received a different quest from Lin Rui earlier. Although Jack was reluctant, in this situation, he had chosen to follow Lin Rui’s instructions. By the time Lin Rui had gathered his team, Jack had already disappeared from the E Grade Spaceship.
“Let’s go; Dormammu has likely completely absorbed the energy from those two nuclear bombs. While the power of two nuclear bombs may not be enough to harm Dormammu, depleting some of his energy won’t hurt,” Lin Rui said without minding Loki’s lack of participation. He then headed towards the corridor at the rear.
As Lin Rui stepped out of the cockpit, Thor and Iceman followed closely behind him. Thor hadn’t realized it yet, but by now, he had unconsciously come to regard Lin Rui as the leading figure in this situation. This was something unthinkable for Thor, who had played the role of protagonist in countless battles throughout his long life.
As Lin Rui, Thor, and Iceman walked past Loki, Thor reached out to grab Loki’s arm. Although Loki promptly shook Thor’s hand off, he decided to follow Thor as they moved toward the rear.
Once Lin Rui and the four others had disappeared from the cockpit, Tony and the rest turned their attention back to the swirling black mist in the cosmic expanse. By now, the turbulence of the mist had diminished considerably. In a short while, Dormammu’s enormous face would likely reappear.
Swish, swish, swish!
Just as Tony and the others continued to watch Dormammu’s state, four figures quickly dashed out from beneath the E Grade Spaceship’s cockpit. It was Lin Rui and his team, who had left the cockpit earlier.
At this moment, Lin Rui wasn’t clad in the Iron Man suit, and his Phantom Suit was more than adequate to handle the conditions of outer space. Iceman had already transitioned into his ice crystal form, while Loki and Thor were naturally suited to the cosmic environment.
