Orochi also sensed the Death of the Two Sky Hammer Venerables, but he didn't care.
The purpose of the Two Sky Hammer Venerables was to create fear, transmitting the power of fear to him through Orochi's Fangs, but he now had a better method, though the quantity wasn't as great as a one-time burst.
But it had the advantage of being continuous.
As for that device, it couldn't be shut down without a key, and forcibly destroying it was useless.

Dark Dimension.
"Demon King, have you absorbed enough?"
A middle-aged man's face was shrouded in black mist.
"Sorry, I actually only became a Demon King in the last two years, and my power is a bit out of control. How about I leave first!"
Richard also felt a bit embarrassed and stood up to leave.
"It's fine, it's fine. I was just worried that absorbing so much energy would be too much for your body. Let's continue chatting."
"Hahaha, Old Duo, you're really good. It seems the outside World has always misunderstood you deeply."
Richard sat in a palace made of energy, and an energy vortex appeared above the palace, constantly plundering the energy of this World.
Opposite him was a black-haired middle-aged man, who was an avatar of Dormammu.
"Exactly, exactly, I'm actually a very good person, but some people, under the banner of protecting the World, come to stop me.
I'm not trying to destroy the World; I just want to rule the World and make humans my slaves. Many humans are already slaves to others, so why can't they all be my slaves together?"
At this, Dormammu's face was filled with indignation.
"Hahaha, you're right. It's all their fault."
Richard readily agreed, emphasizing that he was right and the World was wrong.
Dormammu felt both comfortable and pained.
He felt comfortable because he was being complimented by a peer.
He felt pained because this guy had absorbed an unknown amount of dark energy and still wasn't satisfied.
But he had no choice but to keep him here; the plan had already begun, and if he drove him away now, all previous losses would be wasted.
Richard, with a smiling face, conversed with Venom.
[Haven't found Venom yet?]
No, this guy hides better than Mephisto. He's split the Dimension's core into countless pieces. One could say this Dark Dimension is his Dimension's core.
[Then forget it. You find a chance to come back.]
Do I still have to stay here? Earth should be in chaos by now.
[It's fine. Earth has Lucifer, Ancient One, and Pamela as backup. No matter how chaotic it gets, it won't get too bad.
Besides, this is also an assessment for the Demon Group. I want to see what they'll do without me.]
Why include Pamela? How strong is she now?
[I don't know either, but beating Odin should be no problem.]
Absurd...
"Demon King, are you really not going to reconsider my suggestion? Your territory can expand infinitely."
Dormammu continued to persuade and tempt.
Earth is in a crucial cosmic location, connecting multiple dimensions and cosmic spaces.
Controlling Earth would allow Dormammu to use it as a base to further expand into other Universes and dimensions, realizing his ambition of conquering the multiverse.
"Sigh! Old Duo, don't let my kingly appearance on Earth fool you. I have my own difficulties.
I was actually threatened into taking the throne. This throne feels like sitting on pins and needles. I don't even dare to kill a few humans; I have to babysit them.
Forget it, let's continue drinking. It's not good to involve you, Old Duo."
Richard looked dejected, put down his wine glass, and seemed to hesitate to speak.
Dormammu thought there was a chance and quickly asked, "Go on, tell me, who threatened you? I'll help you kill him."
"Sorcerer Supreme."
At the mention of that name, Dormammu's face stiffened.
"When I first became a Demon King two years ago, I was captured by the Sorcerer Supreme, threatened, beaten, and not even given food."
At this, Richard covered his face with his hands, his body shaking. It took him a while to recover and continue.
"Then she even made me sign a contract to protect Earth. A Demon King not treating humans as slaves is one thing; I could just leave. But then she made me protect humans. Do you think that's something a person would do?"
In his excitement, Richard slammed the table, shattering it.
Bang!
The palace door instantly opened.
Countless strong monsters from the Dark Dimension rushed in, armed with weapons, glaring fiercely at Richard.
"Old Duo, what's the meaning of this?"
Richard erupted with the aura of a Demon King, looking dangerously at Dormammu.
Dormammu quickly explained.
"They are my dance troupe. This isn't the first time we've had guests in the Dark Dimension, so I just wanted to liven things up."
"Oh, I see. Then let the performance begin. I'd also like to witness your art, Old Duo."
Hearing this, Richard sat back down, looking at the strong monsters before him.
The monsters exchanged glances. Dance? They only knew how to fight. Finally, their gaze fell on Dormammu.
"Why are you looking at me? Start your performance quickly."
Dormammu commanded.
Since their Master had spoken, they had no choice but to bite the bullet.
For a moment, the palace was filled with flashing blades, clashing fists and feet. The monsters' "performance" was full of blood and slaughter, every move and every stance was real.
Soon, blood flowed across the entire palace floor.
Dormammu's mouth twitched.
"Old Duo, the artistic scale of your Dark Dimension is a bit large."
Richard added another jab.
"Perhaps with guests, they're too excited. It's not usually like this."
When most of the monsters were dead, they finally stopped. Dormammu directly incinerated the corpses with energy. From now on, he should find some subordinates with brains.
"Old Duo, after watching that performance, I feel my blood boiling. Let's go find the Sorcerer Supreme right now and cut off her head.
Then we'll divide Earth, grow stronger together, and create new glory!"
Saying this, Richard tried to pull Dormammu.
"Wait, wait, calm down. Let's continue drinking."
Dormammu was sweating profusely and quickly held Richard back.
If you really go to Earth and see the situation, it'll be you and the Sorcerer Supreme dividing me up.
"Sigh! Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you. After all, that woman is truly terrifying. She even... *whimper*!"
Richard couldn't help but cover his face in humiliation.
Venom's voice echoed in his mind.
You're badmouthing Ancient One like this, aren't you afraid she'll come over and beat you up?
[No, I'm not. All that hard work on the homework, Wanda gets a B, but I only get an E. That's one thing, but the key is she also told me to practice my handwriting more. It's too insulting!]
She wasn't wrong. You really should practice.
[Is it that bad?]
Richard felt a little insecure.
Let me put it this way: if I hadn't read your memories the first time I parasitized you, I would have thought those were ancient texts.
