In the dark world, Svartalfheim.

Malekith looked up at the starry sky. Countless shining stars were arranged, and he felt inexplicably anxious.

The time for the return of the celestial bodies is getting closer and closer, but Stonehenge, which was supposed to mark and guide the return route of the Anunnaki, has not been activated until now. Could it be that there is some accident on the earth?

The Akashic Records would not be able to usher the Anunnaki back without the guiding signposts from Stonehenge.

According to Sorcerer Supreme’s plan, Earth was supposed to have an ancient god undo the seal on the stone formation and launch a guiding beacon. However, Malekith waited here left and right. Seeing that the celestial body was about to return to its original position, there was no sign of the stone formation being activated.

"Damn it. Sorcerer Supreme!"

Malekith clenched his fists. His face was dark like water, and his teeth were chattering. "I should have thought that there would be a problem with that guy!"

Although he did not want to think in that direction, judging from the current situation, there was definitely a problem on Earth.

The normal time for the celestial body to return to its original position was around four to five minutes.

However, he had predicted that something unexpected might happen, so he had allowed Sorcerer Supreme to cast magic and forcibly extend the celestial body to half an hour. This was already the limit of what he could do.

Now, there were only ten minutes left!

Malekith realized that he had to do something. Otherwise, if he continued to wait, he would miss this golden opportunity if the giant stone array was not activated.

Jane Foster was in a semi-conscious state. Malekithplanned to take her to Earth, activate the giant stone array, and open the records of Akasha at the same time.

Of course, he knew very well in his heart that this method was extremely risky.

Even the ’ancient god’ that Sorcerer Supreme had promised would never have an accident on Earth’s giant stone array. With his strength, if he brought Jane Foster over, there was a high chance that he would fall into the trap.

However, he had to do this.

Perhaps some people would be very curious. Wasn’t this just walking into a trap?

Actually, Malekith wasn’t a stupid person. To be able to kill Odin and Bohr, two generations of Godly Monarchs, and almost destroy Asgarda, how could a stupid person be like this? In fact, he could see very clearly that this was his last chance.

If the Anunnaki returns successfully, he still has a way to survive thanks to his merits.

But if the return of the Anunnaki is prevented, Malekith will have no way to survive at that time. Whether it is the mysterious forces guarding the earth, or Asgard whose hatred value has broken through the sky, they will not let him, The culprit, go.

Even the races of other worlds who resisted Asgarda would care about drawing a clear line at the first moment and pushing all the blame onto them. Only in this way would they be able to avoid the aftermath of the war.

In other words, he had no way out.

Moreover, after this battle, there was not even half of his clansmen left. He had already walked onto a dead end.

Either he succeeded, or he turned into ashes.

This was the situation that Malekith was currently facing, so he had no choice but to take the risk and fight to the death.

"May the Dark Elves bless me and restore the glory of our race!"

Malekith pulled up the unconscious Jane and took a deep breath to gather his courage. He walked towards a secret tunnel that no one knew about.

In the deepest part of this canyon, there was a space crack that led to Earth.

However, this crack would usually not appear. It would only appear when the celestial body returned to the Nine Worlds and the barrier disappeared. Six thousand years ago, they were no match for Asgarda. The remaining troops left their hometown through this tunnel.

Malekith moved along the tunnel, but a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a tall but somewhat thin man with a face shrouded in a hazy fog. He wore a straight black striped suit and a coquettish pink tie. He wore a gentleman’s round cap and held a cane inlaid with gold in his right hand.

"It’s you? Didn’t you say that you were going to delay that man?"

Malekith first let out a sigh of relief, but before he could finish speaking, he sensed that something was wrong. The muscles all over his body tensed up and his hair stood on end. He dragged Jean and hurriedly retreated. "No. No, you are not him. Who are you?"

That Sorcerer Supreme had said it before he left.

He had more important things to do, and that was to delay that terrifying enemy. Only then could the plan succeed, so it was unlikely to be here. Although this person in front of him was dressed almost the same, he was definitely not the Sorcerer Supreme he was familiar with.

"Who I am is actually not important."

The man tapped his walking stick and tilted his head with a smile that was not a smile. "What’s important is that I can help you activate the guide marker of the stone array. As long as you know this, it’s enough, isn’t it?"

"How would I know? Are you lying to me?"

Malekith’s face was gloomy. He was very suspicious of the background of the person in front of him. He took a few steps back vigilantly and said, "Moreover, you risked your life to help me activate the guide marker of the stone array. What can you get? Without enough benefits, I can’t believe someone who came out of nowhere."

"Oh. If that’s the case, then it does seem to be the case."

The man’s knuckles tapped on the top of his walking stick gently and rhythmically. "However, the things I want have already been confirmed from the beginning. At the very least, our standpoint and interests are the same when it comes to letting Anunnaki return to the real universe."

"You still haven’t told me about your origins." Malekith quietly squeezed Jane’s neck with one hand, preparing to destroy the record once the other party tried to snatch it away.

He had noticed from the beginning that the man’s gaze had never left Jane Fosters.

Therefore, his target was Akasha’s record.

"There’s no need to be so vigilant."

Killing intent flashed through the man’s eyes, but he concealed it very well. Even Malekith did not notice it. Then, he shrugged helplessly and shook his head half-jokingly, "Although it is very troublesome to explain, in order to gain your trust, I will tell you."

Malekith raised his eyebrows and waited for him to explain.

"Actually, I am Stephen Strange’s doppelganger." The man smiled and said, "By the way, he probably hasn’t told you yet. Stephen Strange is his name. In about a year and a half, he will inherit the position of Sorcerer Supreme."

"Since it’s a clone, why didn’t you tell me at the beginning?" Malekith was skeptical.

"Probably. I am not the same as him."

The man smiled warmly. "Although it is essentially a concept similar to a clone, in reality, it is a product of a split soul. Under normal circumstances, he will not let me appear, just like a person with multiple personalities. Do you understand?"

Malekith narrowed his eyes. "Where is the evidence?"

The man smiled and raised his hand to swipe in the void, drawing a symbol of an eye without pupils: "You should have seen this symbol, the eye of Agamotto, a magic that only the supreme mage can use."

The Eye of Agamotto was indeed a special spell that only Sorcerer Supreme could use.

Throughout the entire universe, other than the people who inherited Sorcerer Supreme’s position, even the disciples who were born from Karma could not do it, so this was the most powerful evidence. After Malekith confirmed it over and over again, he finally believed that the man in front of him was the soul clone of Strange. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Phew.. Scared me to death."

Malekith let out a sigh of relief and scolded in a bad mood, "It’s all your fault for having a problem with your plan. We have to go to Earth now and think of a way to activate the stone array!"

"It can’t be helped. After all, there is a variable."

The man sighed helplessly. He unintentionally raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. "But now you don’t need to worry. With me helping you solve this problem, you will soon be able to get what you want."

"You..."

Malekith’s face stiffened and his pupils dilated slightly. He felt like he was in an icehouse, unable to move.

"Ah, I understand. Don’t worry."

The man smiled and whispered in his ear, "I will fulfill your wish for you, so feel at ease. Leave your existence to me."

The cold breath flowed into his brain through his ears.

Malekith’s vision became more and more blurry, and his consciousness gradually left, as if he was sinking into the deep and dark bottom of the lake.
