Marvel: My Luck Is A Hundred Million Points Better!-Chapter 176 Can You Do It, Brother!!!

In the original storyline, Mordo would eventually turn to darkness. There were two main reasons for this outcome.

The first was that Mordo was too stubborn and inflexible.

The Ancient One forbade mages from learning dark magic, and Mordo had always believed that using it was inherently wrong.

But then, he discovered that the Ancient One herself had secretly been using dark magic all along.

The second reason was the "desire" that had always lurked in his heart.

A desire for power.

And a desire for the title of "Sorcerer Supreme."

He had followed the Ancient One long before Doctor Strange arrived.

Originally, he believed he would be the one to inherit the title. But then, Strange appeared out of nowhere and changed everything.

Mordo was unwilling to accept this, yet there was nothing he could do. Frustrated and disillusioned, he ultimately chose to leave Kamar-Taj.

Although Luo Bai's presence had altered parts of the plot, unless he actively intervened, he couldn't change the core nature of certain characters.

When Luo Bai reshaped Kamar-Taj's rules, he had made it clear: "If you're not satisfied, you're free to leave."

True to his nature—and following the trajectory of his original storyline—Mordo chose to walk away.

At the time, Luo Bai wasn't surprised by Mordo's decision.

He had already expected it.

And he knew that, in the end, Mordo would succumb to darkness.

However, hearing Wong suddenly bring it up still left him feeling a little regretful.

"Mordo..." Luo Bai muttered. "So, he really chose this path after all."

Strange seemed a bit surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Sorcerer Supreme, did you expect him to fall into darkness?"

Luo Bai nodded.

"I did. Not just me—I'm sure the Ancient One saw it coming too. She told me long ago that Mordo was too rigid in his thinking.

Honestly, learning dark magic isn't necessarily wrong. The real problem was who he chose to follow..."

Luo Bai sighed.

Hearing this, Wong was a little confused.

"Wait—so who exactly did he follow?" he asked.

"If my guess is correct, he's aligned himself with the Chaos Lord, the Beholder—Shuma-Gorath," Luo Bai answered.

"The Beholder, Shuma-Gorath?!" Wong gasped in shock. "He's even more powerful than Dormammu!"

Kamar-Taj's library contained records on most of the major demonic entities.

Although the information wasn't entirely comprehensive, it provided a general understanding of the various dimensional lords.

The one covered most extensively was, of course, Dormammu—the ruler of the Dark Dimension.

But there were also records about the Beholder, Shuma-Gorath.

Shuma-Gorath was a third-level demon and a native of the Outer Realms.

He was considered an ancient god, one who had ruled over Earth long ago, dominating humanity's ancestors.

According to history, he had once declared himself the ruler of hundreds of dimensions.

Like all dimensional lords, he was virtually invincible within his own domain.

However, once he left his dimension, his power weakened significantly.

During his reign over Earth, he had used his dimensional powers to battle against entities like Eternity and the Vishanti.

In the end, however, he was forced into a deep slumber by the Elder God Sis-Nig.

Only then was Earth able to escape his control. free𝑤ebnovel.com

According to ancient texts, even the Vishanti had suffered heavy losses against Shuma-Gorath.

Any mage who had studied Kamar-Taj's collection of books understood just how terrifying the Beholder was.

Now that Mordo had chosen to serve him, Wong couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Even though we managed to defeat Galactus and his herald, the truth is, the Planet Devourer is constantly starving—under normal circumstances, he's not too difficult to deal with," Wong admitted.

"But this Beholder... he's a whole different kind of threat..."

"And Mordo..." Wong continued with a worried expression. "He knows Kamar-Taj far too well..."

While Wong was concerned, Strange remained more optimistic.

"Honestly, I don't think this Beholder is that big of a problem. After all, don't we still have the help of two other dimensional lords—Dormammu and Mephisto?"

Strange's words weren't wrong.

Luo Bai had already subdued those two demon lords.

If a battle broke out, they were bound by their contracts to assist him.

Still, it was strange hearing the Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj casually suggest relying on Dormammu.

Thinking about it, Wong couldn't help but complain, "Do we really have to rely on Dormammu for help?"

Before he could say more, Luo Bai calmly responded, "Actually, even if Dormammu didn't show up, I could still handle it myself.

But since he signed a contract with me, he's obligated to assist."

Wong: "..."

Wong couldn't help but sigh.

The thought of Dormammu, the terrifying ruler of the Dark Dimension, willingly following Luo Bai's command was baffling.

Since when had Kamar-Taj, the bastion of white magic, started working so closely with the forces of darkness?

Then again... maybe it wasn't a bad thing.

After all, sometimes it took evil to punish evil.

With that thought, Wong sighed again.

"Mordo is truly lost. If he had chosen to follow Dormammu instead, this wouldn't have been a problem..."

Now that Dormammu was under Luo Bai's control, he would no longer tempt sorcerers to invade Earth.

If Mordo had aligned himself with Dormammu, the Sorcerer Supreme could have turned a blind eye.

But instead, he had chosen the Beholder.

And unlike Dormammu and Mephisto, this demon lord had yet to be brought under the Sorcerer Supreme's control.

Although it should be conquered soon... it wouldn't be a problem to deal with it later.

But when Wong thought of Mordo, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Supreme Sorcerer, if we manage to subdue the Beholder, what should we do about Mordo?" Wong asked.

Luo Bai naturally understood Wong's feelings.

After all, he had worked alongside Mordo for a long time, and now, Mordo had strayed from the right path and even sought to invade Earth.

Even though Wong would never show mercy when it came to protecting the planet, it was still difficult to ignore the sorrow of seeing a former ally fall into darkness.

Luo Bai noticed Wong's hesitation and smiled.

"He chose to follow the Beholder, which means he has already sold his soul to it.

As long as we take down the Beholder, Mordo won't be a concern anymore.

If you think he's beyond saving, then so be it.

But if you want to give him a chance to live, you can spare him."

Luo Bai's decision not to take immediate action against Mordo wasn't out of kindness.

The truth was, he simply didn't see Mordo as a threat.

Even if Wong chose not to deal with him, the Beholder itself would likely consume Mordo's soul to replenish its lost energy once it suffered heavy damage.

Besides, Mordo had actually helped Luo Bai by bringing the Beholder to Earth.

After all, Luo Bai had been waiting for these evil gods to come to him of their own accord.

With that in mind, he no longer paid any attention to Mordo. Instead, he asked, "Do you know when Shuma-Gorath will arrive on Earth?"

Wong shook his head.

"Before we came here, we fought Mordo, and he seemed to be preparing to summon the Beholder.

But we have no idea when exactly he plans to do it."

Luo Bai didn't say anything—he just nodded thoughtfully.

Now that the Celestials were also eyeing Earth, and he still needed to locate the fragments of the Phoenix Force, it would be best if the Beholder arrived sooner rather than later.

It wouldn't be right for Luo Bai to provoke it himself, so the best course of action would be to have Mephisto do it instead.

With that thought, Luo Bai said, "I understand. I'll make sure the Beholder comes to Earth as soon as possible."

Hearing this, both Wong and Strange became curious.

They had no idea what method Luo Bai intended to use to lure the Beholder to Earth so quickly.

While the two were still puzzled, Mephisto—the ruler of the Hell Dimension—received a letter from Earth.

When Mephisto opened it, he instantly realized that Luo Bai was stirring up trouble again.

As he read through the letter, his expression darkened, and his anger grew.

It wasn't that Mephisto minded Luo Bai causing chaos.

But why did he always have to be the one to play the villain?!

He was reluctant, but... what choice did he have?

It wasn't like he could beat Luo Bai.

Left with no other options, Mephisto let out a deep sigh before writing a letter to the Beholder.

When Shuma-Gorath received the letter and read its contents, his rage erupted instantly.

Because the message clearly stated:

"Lord of Chaos, do you really need to take so long just to descend upon Earth?! Can you actually pull this off, brother?"
