Chapter 66 - Burn it for me!

When Chen Tian's vision refocused, he, Vergil, and the others found themselves on a distorted Planet.

Purple energy whirlpools constantly flowed in the sky, geometric shapes defied the laws of the three-dimensional Universe, and the ground, composed of crystallized magic energy, could shatter and reassemble at any moment.

Chen Tian looked at the soles of his boots, which were constantly being corroded, turning into dark red particle streams that drifted towards the energy whirlpools in the sky.

"Protect yourselves; the corrosive nature here is very strong." Chen Tian's body glowed with sky-blue magic.

Vergil and Bayonetta also had ripples of magic emanating from their bodies.

Only Lia (Diablo) spread her hands with an expression of enjoyment, "Ah~ completely different power, the taste is truly…" She took a deep breath, looking utterly delighted. "It's too delicious."

Seeing Lia's enjoyment, Chen Tian said, "Since that's the case, why don't you, our distinguished guest, knock on the door?"

Lia heard this and gave a mischievous smile, "My Master is right, if a distinguished guest arrives, shouldn't the Master come out?"

Deep red mist began to rise from her body, "The locals here are truly too impolite."

Lia suddenly stopped all movement.

The corners of her mouth curved into an unnatural arc, and her dark gold vertical pupils contracted to the size of needlepoints. The next second, her body began to flicker like a broken projector—rapidly switching between a maiden's form and a much larger silhouette.

"Since the Master won't come out…" Her voice suddenly split into hundreds of overlapping echoes, coming from all directions, "Then I'll… be a little impolite."

As soon as Lia finished speaking, the red mist on her body erupted, engulfing the sky and ground. The distorted light in the Dark Dimension was replaced by a deep red smoke, and a strong sulfurous smell permeated this Dimension where it should not have appeared.

These mists churned as if alive, and the ground in their wake began to boil and vaporize. Piercing yellow lightning constantly flashed within the mist, and each burst of lightning illuminated a terrifying giant Shadow.

Suddenly, all the lightning struck the same spot simultaneously, and a mountain-like black claw extended from the blinding lightning.

"Boom!"

The entire Dimension space trembled violently, the crystallized magic energy instantly shattered, and cracks spread from the tip of the claw.

When the lightning extinguished, a terrifying figure that blotted out the sky emerged from the red mist. Dark red scales covered a body like rolling mountains, and protruding spinal segments formed a array of hideous bone spikes, with curved demonic horns piercing the sky. When he fully stretched his body, the Shadow he cast directly obscured half of the purple whirlpool in the sky.

"Dormammu! Come out and greet the arrival of the Fear of the King!"

Diablo roared at the sky, and the entire Dark Dimension trembled with his roar.

Chen Tian stood with his arms crossed, seeing that Dormammu still hadn't appeared, and sneered, "No need for pleasantries, Diablo, let's tear down his home."

Upon hearing Chen Tian's words, Diablo's dark gold vertical pupils suddenly narrowed into a thin line, and his mouth stretched into an exaggerated, almost tearing, grin. A low laugh rumbled from deep within his throat, a sound like countless Worlds collapsing simultaneously.

"No problem, My Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, Diablo's mountain-like body suddenly erupted in blinding red light. The bone spikes on his back lit up one by one, like lit fuses, spreading from his tail all the way to the giant horns on his head. The entire Dark Dimension began to tremble violently, and space fractured like fragile glass with a spiderweb of cracks.

"Let me see… where should I start dismantling?"

His voice suddenly became unusually soft, yet carried a chilling pleasure. The giant demonic claw gently lifted, and dark red runes lit up at the tip of the claw. With his movement, the entire Dimension began to twist, and the crystallized magic energy on the ground warped and deformed as if being kneaded.

Vergil subtly took half a step back, Yamato already three inches unsheathed, with cerulean magic flowing around the blade. Bayonetta, meanwhile, observed the changes around her with interest, her red lips slightly parted: "What a… spectacular demolition site."

Chen Tian, however, remained in place, his trench coat fluttering wildly in the turbulent currents. He looked up at Diablo's back, a cold sneer playing on his lips.

Diablo suddenly spread his arms, all the bone spikes on his back standing erect. He took a deep breath, and the energy of the entire Dark Dimension paused for a moment—

"Fear Nova!"

With this roar, an dark red energy Impact radiated spherically from Diablo. Wherever it passed, space was torn apart like fragile canvas, the distorted geometric structures vaporized into fundamental particles the moment they touched the Impact, and the purple energy whirlpools were forcibly ripped into scattered streams of light.

The entire Dark Dimension began to collapse.

Dormammu finally couldn't sit still. The purple energy in the sky frantically gathered, forming a giant face.

"Stop! You lunatics! This is my domain!"

As soon as Dormammu's face materialized, Diablo's wild laughter tore through the entire Dimension: "Hahahahaha! Finally willing to crawl out of your rat hole?"

The dark red Dimension Demon God's body suddenly leaped, its claws directly striking the face composed of purple-black energy. Dormammu let out a deafening roar, and countless sharp Shadow spears shot out from the void, but were repelled the moment they touched Diablo's scales, emitting a crisp, metallic clang.

"Is that all you've got?" Diablo's massive claw slammed hard into Dormammu's face, dark gold vertical pupils flashing with madness, "Let me taste the flavor of the Dark Lord!"

His gaping maw suddenly opened to an incredible angle, spewing a torrent of molten, dark red energy between his sharp fangs. Dormammu's face was hit head-on, letting out a pained shriek, and the entire Dark Dimension trembled violently with this shriek.

Chen Tian raised his hand to erect a blue barrier, blocking the splashing Dimension fragments: "It seems Diablo is having a lot of fun."

Vergil watched with cold eyes: "A waste of time."

Bayonetta sat on a floating crystal, legs crossed: "Don't be so serious~ It's rare to see such a good show."

Dormammu's face suddenly twisted and deformed, transforming into an equally massive purple-black claw that fiercely collided with Diablo's claw. The moment the two vastly different Dimension Demon God powers clashed, the resulting Impact pulverized all the crystallized ground within several kilometers into dust.

"Invader! You will pay for this!" Dormammu's voice came from all directions, and the energy of the entire Dark Dimension began to converge towards the center of the battlefield.

Diablo did not dodge or evade; instead, he excitedly spread his arms to embrace this energy: "Come on! Let me see what you've got!"

Chen Tian narrowed his eyes, watching the struggle between Diablo and Dormammu. He noticed that whenever Dormammu suffered heavy damage, the surrounding Dark Dimension's energy would automatically flow to him, rapidly repairing his injuries.

"Diablo," Chen Tian suddenly spoke, his voice piercing through the deafening energy roar, "Don't be in a hurry to kill him. This Dimension is his source of power—eat your fill first."

Upon hearing this, a glint of cunning flashed in Diablo's dark gold vertical pupils. While clashing with Dormammu, he suddenly shot out seven chains of molten lava from his back, embedding them into the Dimension's void.

"My Master is wise~" His voice carried a pleasurable tremor, "Then I'll… make myself at home!"

In an instant, all the bone spikes on Diablo's back lit up with dark red runes, forming a giant energy whirlpool. The entire Dark Dimension began to tremble violently, and countless purple energy streams were forcibly siphoned from all directions, frantically surging into Diablo's body.

"What are you doing?!" Dormammu's face twisted in horror, "Stop! That's my power!"

Vergil raised an eyebrow: "So that's it… cutting off the source."

Bayonetta chuckled, twirling her pistol: "What a greedy little devil~"

Diablo's body began to swell, and dazzling red light shone through the gaps in his scales. He let out a satisfied growl, like he was enjoying a lavish feast. As the energy was continuously siphoned away, the surrounding space began to destabilize—

"You will regret this! Diablo!" Dormammu roared in fury, and the entire Dark Dimension began to constantly twist with his roar; he wanted to detonate part of the Dark Dimension's power.

Seeing this, Chen Tian reached out, and an extremely ordinary-looking neon blade appeared in his hand.

Vergil's indifferent expression vanished, "Boy, are you going to play this big?"

Bayonetta also changed from sitting to standing, "Oh dear, it's time to find a way to escape."

Chen Tian smiled and said to Diablo, "Diablo, we should go."

Diablo's gaze shifted from Dormammu to the seemingly ordinary neon blade in Chen Tian's hand. Because it was so ordinary, it seemed out of place in the Dark Dimension.

"Hahahaha!" Diablo's laughter shook the entire Dimension, and his claw suddenly changed its attack trajectory, delivering a heavy punch that sent Dormammu flying hundreds of meters back, "This is too much fun!"

Dormammu's energy body dispersed from the sudden heavy blow, but quickly reformed: "You won't escape! This Dimension is already—"

He couldn't finish his sentence. Diablo's tail suddenly traced a perfect arc in the void, and a dark red rift opened beside Chen Tian. Simultaneously, his massive body began to rapidly shrink, scales reassembling, bone spikes retracting into his body, and in a blink, he transformed back into Lia's maiden form.

"Time to run~" Lia bounced up next to Chen Tian, shouting to Vergil and Bayonetta, "If you don't leave now, My Master might accidentally hurt you!"

Vergil shook his head as if he had a headache, and Bayonetta did a backflip, landing beside the rift: "Honestly, My Lord is quite a destructive maniac too."

Chen Tian's entire body's magic suddenly boiled, and sky-blue energy carved out an absolute domain in the Dark Dimension. He slowly assumed a drawing stance, left hand gripping the sheath, right hand gripping the hilt.

"All creation—",

As the incantation sounded, the neon blade's sheath suddenly became covered in dense blue magic patterns. These runes moved like living things, covering the entire blade in an instant.

"—Turn to ash!"

The moment the last syllable exploded, the sheath burst apart. The revealed blade was no longer simply a White Fire, but displayed a strange blue-white gradient—the tsuba was a core of deep blue magic, gradually transitioning to blinding brilliant White towards the tip.

"The temperature is still rising." Vergil showed a solemn expression, "It has surpassed Ryuujin Jakka's inherent maximum temperature."

The entire Dark Dimension began to twist unnaturally. Dormammu's roar suddenly changed pitch: "Impossible! This temperature will—"

"Ryuujin Jakka · Kai!"

The moment Chen Tian swung his blade, time itself seemed to stop. Where the blade passed, space parted silently, like a hot knife cutting through butter. It wasn't a simple cut, but a direct, penetrating "wound" burned into the very structure of the Dimension.

Where the blade light passed, the fundamental laws of the Dark Dimension began to burn, and dark energy was directly incinerated into ash.

Dormammu let out a scream that was not human, his energy body being irreversibly decomposed: "Stop! You'll destroy the entire Dimension!"

Chen Tian's figure was blurred in the blue-white flames, only his cold voice came through clearly: "Exactly what I want."

As the second strike fell, an anomaly occurred. The blue-white flames on the blade suddenly intertwined into a spiral, and the temperature reading soared wildly—28 million… 29 million… 50 million degrees.

"Crack"—

A teeth-grinding sound of shattering echoed through the Dimension. Countless black cracks suddenly appeared beneath their feet; these were not spatial cracks, but far more terrifying 'Dimension faults'—the entire Dark Dimension began to disintegrate from the atomic level, like glass struck by a heavy hammer.

Lia trembled with excitement: "My Master burned through space!"

Dormammu had shrunk to one-tenth of his original size, his voice filled with fear: "Madmen! You are all madmen!"

Dormammu's purple energy body trembled violently. He was now unable to concern himself with Chen Tian and the others, only able to desperately maintain his Dark Dimension to prevent it from being completely destroyed.

"Chen… Tian…"

His voice, filled with anger and fear, turned to look at Chen Tian and the others' position.

At this moment, the others were already gone, only Chen Tian stood at the edge of the Dimension rift, blue-white magic residual flames still swirling around him.

He stood with one hand in his pocket, the neon blade in his other hand having returned to its ordinary form.

Dormammu's energy suddenly surged violently, coalescing into a fragmented arm reaching out towards Chen Tian: "I curse you! In the name of the Dark Dimension—"

"Heh, impotent rage."

Chen Tian sneered, looking at the Dark Dimension, which was now only half its original size.

"Your curse?" Chen Tian scoffed, "Save it for your own burial."

He turned and walked towards the rift, stopping abruptly just as he was about to step into it:

"Dormammu, I'll be back. And then—"

—You and this wretched place."

Dormammu let out an unwilling roar, but his voice was swallowed by the suddenly twisted spatial folds. Chen Tian's figure completely vanished into the rift, leaving only a final whisper echoing in the collapsing Dimension:

"…Completely buried in the gutter."

(Explanation: Ryuujin Jakka's temperature setting.)

(In the God of Death manga, regarding Ryuujin Jakka's temperature, Shikai is 6000 degrees Celsius, and Bankai is 15 million degrees Celsius, close to the Sun's core temperature.)

(However, I personally feel that 15 million degrees might be a bit strained to burn through the Dark Dimension.)

(So I took the liberty of combining it with magic to increase the temperature to 50 million degrees. I'm not sure if this is reasonable; I personally feel it's still a bit lacking. The core temperature of a supernova is above 150 billion degrees Celsius, the temperature generated during a supernova explosion is above 100 million degrees Celsius, and the core explosion temperature exceeds 1 billion degrees Celsius. When a supernova explodes, it can collapse life-supporting Planets within 326 light-years.)

(Regarding why Dormammu wasn't killed: In Marvel's setting, Dormammu can be killed, but the Dark Dimension would become a masterless land unless someone could replace Dormammu as the new Dimension Demon God and control the Dark Dimension. However, in controlling it, they would also be corrupted by the Dark Dimension, becoming part of it, turning into a new 'Dormammu'.)

(Dormammu once spent countless years controlling the Dark Dimension. Even someone as strong as Diablo would take a lot of time to control it in a short period. So here, it's just a beating, and they'll return when the protagonist has the ability to dismantle the Dimension.)
