Facing the whistling magical rings flying toward him, Alex showed no expression. Although this was his first time facing magical attacks, in both Marvel and DC, so-called magic was also a form of energy.
Since it was an energy-based attack, he didn't think it could break through his biological force field.
Alex stood still, letting the "Ring of Raggadorr" slam into him. Just as he expected, the spinning ring flew back and was caught by the Ancient One.
The Ancient One didn't seem surprised at all. She smiled faintly and continuously hurled out more "Rings of Raggadorr."
For a moment, along this "street" made up of numerous buildings, the rings howled through the air, leaving streaks of yellow light as they attacked Alex in completely unpredictable patterns.
Alex slowly rose upward, letting the many flying rings crash against his body. Then he suddenly burst forward. Though not reaching first cosmic velocity, he was still so fast the naked eye couldn't follow. In an instant, he slammed into the Sorcerer Supreme.
The Ancient One had already prepared. The moment Alex moved, her "Ring of Raggadorr" had already been deployed.
Bang!
The two collided. The "Ring of Raggadorr" shattered instantly, and the Ancient One was sent flying.
But at that moment, she raised her hand and flung out a rope formed from magical energy. The rope, glowing with golden light, wrapped around Alex's arm.
Using the force, the Ancient One pulled herself back and struck toward Alex with one hand.
Alex knew that if she landed that strike, his spiritual body would be separated from his physical body.
In Avengers: Endgame, even someone as strong as the Hulk was left completely out of commission after taking a single palm strike from the Ancient One.
He didn't know whether the biological force field could defend against that kind of attack, and he had no intention of finding out. His eyes lit up instantly, firing two beams of heat vision that sliced across the Ancient One's magical rope.
The clash of energy forcibly severed the rope. Alex's figure flickered, and the air roared into a violent gale as the Ancient One's strike hit empty space.
When she turned back, she saw two Alex.
Self-duplication. Alex had created a clone with 80% of his own power.
He smiled and moved together with the clone. The two figures constantly crossed and separated in midair, and combined with their speed, the Ancient One couldn't tell which was the real body.
But as the Sorcerer Supreme, she wasn't like the version in the movies who relied on close combat. She immediately raised her hand and pushed toward Alex and his clone.
Boom!
A violent roar of wind erupted. A terrifying hurricane blasted against Alex and his clone, forcing them to fly into the distance.
This was the "Winds of Watoomb".
Alex and his clone halted midair, then simultaneously locked onto the Sorcerer Supreme and unleashed heat vision!
Two blazing golden streams, carrying extreme heat and destructive force, descended from the sky, about to strike the Sorcerer Supreme.
The Ancient One calmly pressed both hands forward. A massive golden magic circle appeared in the air.
When Alex and his clone's energy beams struck the magic circle, they neither penetrated nor exploded. Instead, they instantly transformed into a swarm of fluttering glowing butterflies.
This gorgeous and elegant spell was the "Images of Ikonn".
Then the Ancient One manifested countless arms, like a thousand-handed Bodhisattva. As those arms came together, she suddenly split into innumerable duplicates. The sheer number of them left Alex dazzled, unable to tell real from fake.
Following "Images of Ikonn," the Ancient One used another technique, perfectly demonstrating the strength of the Sorcerer Supreme.
"This is way better than my 'self-duplication.'"
Looking at the countless duplicates created by the Ancient One, Alex felt genuine envy. He thought how great it would be if his own duplication could create this many copies.
At that moment, countless Ancient Ones in the sky cast the "Crimson Bands of Cyttorak" toward Alex and his clone.
This power, drawn from Cyttorak, the ruler of the Crimson Universe, manifested as deep red chains that surged in from all directions toward Alex and his clone.
Alex and his clone flickered rapidly, performing all kinds of evasive maneuvers. But there were simply too many crimson chains. Before long, they were both bound.
And once bound, even more crimson chains attacked from different directions and angles.
In the blink of an eye, Alex and his clone were completely wrapped in these chains.
At the same time, several Ancient One figures unfolded massive, magnificent magic circles. Then dazzling lightning was summoned, traveling along the crimson chains toward Alex and his clone.
"Bolts of Balthakk!"
Instantly, Alex and his clone were subjected to fierce attacks. Golden lightning surged through the crimson chains, turning into a torrent of electricity that engulfed them.
But at that moment, from within the raging storm of electricity, two blazing golden beams shot out.
Heat vision!
The two beams moved with agility, weaving through the many Ancient Ones, continuously blasting them into fragments.
Although the Sorcerer Supreme's duplicates created by her spell were numerous and each possessed the same strength as the original, her physical body itself was not particularly strong. In the movies, the Ancient One was killed rather easily due to a moment of carelessness.
Alex knew the crimson chains were extremely difficult to destroy. Instead of wasting time and effort trying to break them, it was better to eliminate the Sorcerer Supreme's duplicates.
His "absolute hit" ability came into play here. Every target within his sight was marked. Despite the large number of duplicates, they were rapidly eliminated by the twin energy beams from him and his clone.
Finally, the two beams converged on one mage duplicate. The moment they collided, they not only destroyed that duplicate but also triggered a massive explosion.
In an instant, the Mirror Dimension lit up violently. It was as if a blazing sun had risen within it. Blinding, scorching flames expanded outward, and waves of extreme heat swept across everything, wiping out all remaining duplicates.
Boom!
The terrifying explosion caused countless cracks to appear in the Mirror Dimension. Normally, no matter how intense the battle inside, it wouldn't affect the real world. But now, the explosion triggered by Alex and his clone had clearly exceeded the limits the Mirror Dimension could withstand.
As a result, fractures that shouldn't have existed appeared, allowing strands of ultra-high-temperature flames to leak into reality, setting off a chain of explosions in the real world's streets, streetlights, buildings, and cars.
People clutched their heads and screamed, rushing into nearby buildings. Then they stared outside in terror, watching the thin streaks of light flickering in the air.
Inside the Mirror Dimension, the Ancient One withdrew the "Ring of Raggadorr" protecting her and looked around. It was as if this place had gone through a nuclear explosion. Her space was on the verge of collapse.
A trace of concern appeared between the Sorcerer Supreme's brows as she looked up at the two figures within the distorted light in the sky.
She seemed to make a certain decision. Raising her hand, she formed a gesture.
The object hanging on her chest, the eye-like relic, lit up with a green glow from the gem within.
The Eye of Agamotto!
