The Trap Springs
In the Magic Dimension, Sebastian opened his eyes, rising from his throne for the first time in five years. As he rose, the vast amounts of energy circulating within the Magic Dimension rapidly converged towards his body.
Sebastian's situation differed from that of ordinary Dimensional Lords or Demon Gods. He had fused his authority, which combined black magic, white magic, new magic, and even other magical systems, into a unique magical authority. Logically, he should have become a Demon God.
However, Sebastian had created the Magic Dimension using the power of the Infinity Stones and combined his magical authority with it, acquiring the attributes of a Dimensional Lord.
It seemed Sebastian was confined within the Magic Dimension, but only Sebastian himself knew that he was not only not confined, but his magical authority possessed the characteristics of a Dimensional Lord's authority!
Wherever there was magical power in the universe, he received half the blessing he would receive within the Magic Dimension. While not as powerful as within the Magic Dimension itself, it was still unmatched by other Dimensional Lords.
Dimensional Lords possessed limitless power within their own dimensions, almost invincible. Although Sebastian only received half the blessing he would within his own dimension, it still allowed him to directly confront beings who had achieved Demon Godhood or Dimensional Lordhood billions of years before him!
At this moment, when Sebastian sensed Galactus's arrival in the solar system, he no longer hesitated. For the first time in five years, he rose to face this enemy far surpassing Thanos and the Vishanti.
Taking a single step forward, Sebastian arrived above an ocean on Earth. But as soon as he arrived, the bright blue sky was suddenly shrouded in rolling dark clouds. The ocean beneath his feet was covered in shadow. He was quickly enveloped in darkness. The next second, a pair of crimson eyes appeared in the cloud-filled sky, followed by a young man with white hair and red eyes who appeared not far from Sebastian, looking at him with a cold smile.
Lord of the Chaos Dimension!
Source of Black Magic!
Chthon!
Looking at Chthon, Sebastian chuckled, then turned to look in another direction. He said directly, "Hoggoth, you do not need to hide anymore, do you?"
As Sebastian's words fell, the dark clouds above suddenly split open. A beam of white light shot down from the crack. White light mist rose and instantly enveloped half of the dark space. Then Hoggoth, who looked like a tiger, appeared in the half of the space filled with white light mist, staring menacingly at Sebastian.
"I knew you two would come after me when I left the Magic Dimension," Sebastian said calmly. "But I really did not expect you two to arrive so quickly, especially now that Earth is facing Galactus the Devourer."
"Sebastian Shaw, you should have known this day would come when you seized our power," Hoggoth growled.
With that, Chthon mobilized his power. Dark magic mixed with the power of the Chaos Dimension, forming a dark red torrent that rapidly enveloped Sebastian. At the same time, Hoggoth did not waste any words. His body suddenly swelled to an astonishing size, approaching Sebastian step by step, opening his mouth to bite.
Seeing Chthon and Hoggoth attack him without hesitation, Sebastian smiled slightly. His eyes radiated brilliant light. Boundless magical radiance appeared behind his head, forming a giant wheel. Simultaneously, this boundless magical radiance rapidly spread throughout Sebastian's body, like an endless magical robe enveloping him and drifting outwards.
At this moment, the attacks of Chthon and Hoggoth were already upon them, but Sebastian showed no intention of dodging. Seeing the two powerful beings approaching, he flicked his finger. Two streaks of light vanished from his hand, instantly striking Chthon and Hoggoth, who were hidden behind immense power. This forced them to retreat rapidly, staring at Sebastian in disbelief.
"Power Cosmic? You actually possess the Power Cosmic!" Chthon exclaimed.
Chthon, worthy of being one of the oldest Elder Gods, immediately sensed the type of power Sebastian used after being struck by his finger flick.
With a light laugh, Sebastian said to Chthon, "Unfortunately, that was merely magical power mixed with the Power Cosmic."
Sebastian was not lying. The Power Cosmic he was using was actually derived from studying the Silver Surfer and Firelord. He merely absorbed cosmic energy and gradually converted it into the Power Cosmic, without truly elevating his own power to that level. It was similar to using a weapon, not his true power. Otherwise, Chthon and Hoggoth would not have retreated so easily.
"Chthon, his Power Cosmic cannot be used indefinitely, so there is no need to be too wary," Hoggoth said. "We just need to be careful. Once his Power Cosmic is used up, he will not have any other options."
Hearing Hoggoth's words, Sebastian chuckled and said, "If that is your plan, then there is no need to wait any longer, because the Power Cosmic I just used was my last bit. The remaining Power Cosmic has all been gathered in my clone to fight Galactus. You can make your move now.
But do you not think about why I would come here alone and walk into your trap when I knew you would attack me?"
Sebastian's words immediately alerted Hoggoth and Chthon. Just as they vaguely sensed something was wrong, a large amount of magical light suddenly erupted from their bodies. It quickly converged towards Sebastian.
Seeing this, Sebastian immediately smiled and spoke again, "You think this is a trap you set for me, but it is also a trap I set for you, a trap I started setting five years ago!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the power emanating from Sebastian suddenly intensified, truly revealing his power. As long as magic existed anywhere in the universe, his power was enhanced by almost half the power of someone in the Magic Dimension!
As Sebastian's power increased, Hoggoth and Chthon were increasingly affected by Sebastian's magical authority. The magical radiance pouring from their bodies became increasingly powerful. At this moment, they had no chance of escape. The seal they deliberately set up prevented other Demon Gods from discovering their current situation. What was originally a trap to destroy Sebastian had now become their death knell!
The clearly defined black and white seal gradually contracted until it disappeared. A dark red light vanished into the sky, quickly escaping from Earth.
Sebastian, now back in human form, glanced at Chthon, who had escaped using the power of the Chaos Dimension, but did not pursue him. From this day forward, Chthon would never be able to escape the limitations of the Chaos Dimension. Having completely lost his power over dark magic, he had no chance of leaving the Chaos Dimension to cause trouble. Otherwise, even without Sebastian, other beings coveting the Chaos Dimension would attack him directly.
Sebastian looked down at the wisp of white light that danced in his palm, unable to escape his fingers. Without hesitation, he crushed the wisp of light, completely annihilating Hoggoth.
The instant Hoggoth was killed by Sebastian, a bright light shone in the sky. Two angry voices, one male and one female, descended swiftly.
Before Agamotto and Oshtur could even approach, Sebastian pointed a finger. He instantly suppressed the white magic authority emanating from them. He then forced them back into his domain, completely sealing them away.
Now, having absorbed the complete black magic authority and a third of the white magic authority, his magical authority had reached the critical point of more than half of all magical authority in the universe.
He could now be considered a true God of Magic. If it were not for the fact that Earth's mystical world still needed Agamotto and Oshtur's protection, Sebastian would have already stripped them of their authority. Even so, they were sealed within his domain, destined to become mere batteries for white magicians to draw power from.
The other Demon Gods and Dimensional Lords were aware of this situation. But given Sebastian's current power, it was already a favor that he did not cause them trouble. Who would dare to provoke him at this time?
The Final Confrontation
Meanwhile, on the battlefield outside T-Fortress, Sebastian's clone unleashed an Avada Kedavra at Galactus. The magic, imbued with the Power Cosmic, was something even Galactus could not ignore. However, Sebastian's exceptional mobility prevented Galactus from defeating him for the time being. With the combined efforts of numerous heroes and the assistance of the Anti-Cosmic Energy Dark Matter Cannon, they managed to barely hold off the powerful Galactus.
Just then, Sebastian's clone suddenly vanished from its spot. It reappeared beside Tony, communicating directly with him through magic: "Tony, my main body will arrive soon. At that time, reverse the direction of the Anti-Cosmic Energy Dark Matter Cannon and fire at my main body. My main body needs a massive amount of cosmic energy. This is our only chance to fight Galactus!"
Looking at Sebastian's clone, Tony had countless things to say and countless questions to ask, but he did not ask any at this moment. He simply nodded, using his armor and Jarvis to remotely control the Anti-Cosmic Energy Dark Matter Cannon, preparing to fire.
Many heroes were already critically injured and on the verge of death. If the delay continued, casualties were inevitable, something Tony absolutely did not want to see. Therefore, he had to, and could only, trust Sebastian!
Just as Tony was ready, a platinum-gold light suddenly appeared between the heroes and Galactus. Sebastian's true form appeared within it, the platinum-gold magical radiance transforming once again into a wheel and robes behind his head.
At the same time, Sebastian directly absorbed the Power Cosmic from his clone. He raised his hand and unleashed a beam of light at Galactus, blasting him away and sending him crashing heavily into his spaceship.
Immediately afterward, Sebastian summoned the Reality Stone and Space Stone from Hogwarts, the Time Stone from Kamar-Taj, and the Power Stone from the Nova Helmet that had just arrived on Earth and fallen into the hands of a child. They all broke through the atmosphere and arrived around Sebastian.
Simultaneously, the Mind Stone and Soul Stone on Vision and Adam Warlock also broke free from their control and converged around Sebastian.
"Tony!"
Hearing Sebastian's voice echo in his mind, Tony did not hesitate. He immediately reversed the activation of the Anti-Cosmic Energy Dark Matter Cannon, transforming it into a pure cosmic energy cannon. He aimed it at Sebastian's body.
Sebastian nodded slightly to Tony and the others, then crushed a red rune in his hand. Instantly, a pair of large red hands appeared in the universe, directly attacking the oncoming Galactus.
At the same time, Cyttorak's voice rang in Sebastian's ears.
"This time, we are even."
"There will not be a next time!" Sebastian replied.
Boom!
Cyttorak's power slightly slowed Galactus's movements. In that instant, it was enough for Sebastian to receive the incoming cosmic energy combined with the power of the Infinity Stones, allowing him to glimpse that ultimate level!
Blinding light spread outward from the moon, quickly reaching the entire solar system and then the entire universe. All beings who held authority could clearly feel that the rules of the universe had undergone a tremendous change. A powerful authority had completely detached from the universe, materialized, and then sublimated to another level.
In that instant, the mages of the universe all felt the disappearance of magical power. But in a fraction of a second, the magical power returned without causing any damage. However, those with powerful magical abilities could clearly sense that the magical power in the universe was different now.
Even Demon Gods like Agamotto or Oshtur were no longer masters of some magical authority. They had simply become powerful users of magic!
This was because all magical authority had converged, forming a tangible entity.
Undoubtedly, Galactus in his deteriorated state was no match for Sebastian, who had transformed into a being of the same level. Having successfully ascended to a higher level, Sebastian had become a fully realized embodiment of magical power. Like Death or Eternity, Sebastian would henceforth receive a new name: Magic!
For Sebastian, Galactus was no longer a formidable enemy. In an instant, Galactus fell into a deep slumber. Sebastian sealed him inside his spaceship and banished him into space. Perhaps one day he would awaken again due to other factors, but for Earth in the future, Galactus was no longer a threat.
Having dealt with Galactus, Sebastian glanced at Tony and the others, then vanished before them. He left only his clone to continue traveling through space.
A flash of light appeared. Sebastian, seeing Death and the other four cosmic entities standing before him, bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, esteemed seniors."
