10880 Malibu Point.
Inside Stark's villa, Tony strolled into the living room, a bottle of liquor in his left hand and three glasses held between the fingers of his right hand.
In the living room sat two burly men in tight-fitting clothing. They were Steve and Bucky, who had rushed to Stark's home from another city.
"What's up, you two?" Tony sat down on the sofa across from them, placing the glasses on the table and pouring the liquor, one glass at a time.
"We need you to team up with us to fight Hydra," Steve leaned forward, reaching out his left hand to activate his optical computer, intending to show Tony his savings and convince Tony Stark with money.
As Steve had hoped, he successfully grabbed Stark's attention, but not with his savings. Instead, it was the optical computer on his left wrist that did the trick.
Tony paused his pouring, his eyes fixed on the bracelet on Steve's wrist. He asked with interest, "What is that thing you're wearing?"
"Huh?" Steve was taken aback for a moment, then explained, "It's the light-brain Boss Mu gave us! It's used to replace the membership cards. Haven't you been to Boss Mu's shop lately?"
"Nope." Tony retracted his gaze and continued pouring the drinks.
After pouring three glasses, he pushed two towards Steve and Bucky. He then picked up the remaining glass, gently swirling the liquid. "I haven't left the house recently."
He took a sip of the drink and continued, "I'm fine with teaming up to fight Hydra, but only after I deal with the internal problems at the company."
"No problem." Steve immediately agreed. "Bucky needs some time to train as well."
Bucky had only recently eaten the Devil Fruit and needed time to practice and master it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to effectively utilize its abilities.
For example, before, he had just eaten the Devil Fruit and immediately went into battle. All he could manage was elementalization and spitting fire. His performance was quite poor, and he couldn't demonstrate the strength a Logia-type user should have.
"Oh~" Stark raised an eyebrow, leaned back against the sofa, and swirled his glass with his right hand. "Need some practical training? I can provide that."
"Hmm?" Steve and Bucky looked at him with questioning gazes.
Tony briefly explained the situation with Obadiah Stane.
Steve and Bucky's faces immediately darkened, looking like the bottom of a pot.
Someone actually dared to bully his nephew? They were asking for death!
"Alright, I'll go kill him right now," Bucky suddenly stood up, his face grim as he headed for the door.
"Wait," Tony called out to the agitated Bucky, "Stick to the plan. I'll tell you the plan..."
Tony explained in detail a plan he'd been working on for days.
"You..." Steve shook his head, saying nothing more.
"I always get even." Tony finished his drink and said fiercely, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, I'll give it back double."
"Alright, just say the word if you need us." Bucky unconditionally supported Tony Stark's decision.
"Let's go then." Steve stood up and waved his hand, the bracelet on his wrist catching the eye.
Tony: "..."
First, go to Boss Mu's place.
And where was Tony Stark thinking about Boss Mu?
Kamar-Taj.
In a room, Mu Yang and the Ancient One sat opposite each other, neither speaking, quietly drinking tea.
Lemon tea, which tasted sour, very much suited Mu Yang's taste.
After drinking the tea in one gulp, Boss Mu gently placed the empty teacup on the table. Then, he put the bracelet, which had mysteriously appeared in his hand, on the table as well, slowly pushing it towards the Ancient One.
Boss Mu didn't say anything, slowly retracting his hand. The Ancient One didn't ask either, picking up the bracelet and putting it on her left wrist. Even though it was her first time using it, she handled it with a familiarity as if she had used it a thousand times before.
With practiced ease, she exchanged the money, having already decided what to buy, purchasing items one by one.
Greater Purification, to cleanse the darkness within.

Longinus (30-minute experience)
Angel Armor Set (30-minute experience)
The Ancient One was clad in gorgeous light armor with a silver base and gold patterns. Three pairs of dazzling golden wings on her back gently fluttered, golden feathers falling. In her right hand, she held the Longinus, as scarlet as blood, and the Eye of Agamotto on her chest swayed with her movements.
What a fully armed and imposing Valkyrie.
"I'll take care of something, please wait a moment, Your Excellency," the Ancient One said apologetically.
With that, she raised her hand, drew a circle, and walked in. Taking advantage of the fact that the spark circle hadn't yet disappeared, Boss Mu glanced at the scene inside the circle. It was a strange, pitch-black starry sky.
Boss Mu thought for a moment and knew where the Ancient One was going.
The Dark Dimension, Dormammu's territory.
The Ancient One vs. Dormammu.
This was a major event of the year, how could he not watch?
While he was thinking, the passage to the Dark Dimension that the Ancient One had opened had closed, but that couldn't stop Boss Mu. He raised his hand and used the power of space to reopen the passage to the Dark Dimension.
Screech————!
A bird's cry, full of majesty and pressure, echoed from the passage. A mysterious power, brimming with infinite vitality, spread into the room through the spatial channel.
That energy carried both destruction and creation, like the embodiment of life's most fundamental concepts. The rules of darkness were fragile before it. The entire dark starry sky visibly trembled, and the spatial channel rippled like a lake surface stirred by the wind.
The house quivered slightly. Cracks appeared on the walls and floor due to the pressure of an invisible force. Teacups shattered, and the wooden table was torn apart.
Eerie red flames ignited in the darkness, rapidly growing and consuming the energy of the Dark Dimension. The scorching light was like a candle in the dark.
"Longinus!!!"
A clear voice, amplified by some power, resounded throughout the Dark Dimension.
Following that…
A wisp of even more eerie red light shone from the flames. A killing intent, sharp enough to sting the skin, emanated from the spatial channel, instantly crushing the wooden table into dust.
"Ancient One!!!"
Scarlet streams of light streaked across the starry sky. A pitch-black humanoid figure was pinned to the cosmos, unable to break free. An angry roar, carrying indescribable energy, echoed through the stars, and the planet teetered on the brink of collapse.
Boss Mu raised his hand to seal the space, preventing the roar from reaching outside the room. If the mages of Kamar-Taj were wiped out by Dormammu's roar, he would definitely be chased and cut by the Ancient One.
"Dormammu..."
A phantom of the Phoenix, blotting out the sky, entered Boss Mu's field of vision. Boundless, surging energy rushed towards him, devouring and obliterating everything in its path. The remnants of the broken space channel were swept away by the energy's aftershocks, immediately shattering.
Boss Mu tilted his head to dodge the shards of Phoenix Force that splashed towards him, and silently clasped his hands together.
May you die without too much pain, Dormammu.
After three seconds of silent mourning, Boss Mu opened his eyes again and waved his hand to repair the damaged room.
About twenty-eight or twenty-nine minutes later.
Unscathed, the Ancient One returned to the room, a crimson spear in her left hand and a jet-black spear in her right.
