Plans, Pawns and Games
In the Dark Dimension the being known as Dormammu was putting the finishing touches on his plan. The title of Sorcerer Supreme would belong to him and he would be more powerful than the gods. Even the gods themselves would be pawns in his plans. He would rule the Dark Dimension and eventually Earth.

First he would have the souls of their children.

Pure hatred coursed through him. Hatred for the Sorcerer Supreme and the immortal gods. Untold millennia had passed with this hatred festering and burning. They would fall and the Earth and many untold other dimensions would be his and no one would be able to stop him. His enemies would be destroyed in his wake.

There was one slight problem.

Dormammu couldn’t directly touch the realm of Earth. The cursed Sorcerer Supreme had seen to that, but he could act through his loyal agents. It was those agents that would be crucial to his plans. Those agents would serve him well of that he had no doubt. In addition he didn’t want event tied directly to him lest the Sorcerer Supreme realize what was going on and stop him. The Sorcerer Supreme would find out too late and everything would be Dormammu’s.
Demons moved around him, but he paid them little mind. The denizens of the Dark Dimension gave him a wide berth despite being imprisoned by Umar. They could be useful in the future once he escaped his prison and the portal to Earth was opened to start the conquest.

If he could, he would smile.

He started the incantation to contact his agents. They would contact the pawns and the game would begin.
