Chapter 228: The Universe Will was scared cowed!
Swish!
A streak of black light tore through the galaxy.
The spear was so fast that people simply couldn't react in time. With a squelch, it directly pierced through the leader's chest.
Rumble!
The surrounding space shattered one after another.
The spear actually forcefully nailed the leader onto the shattered void!
The leader wasn't dead yet; his hands and feet thrashed desperately, wanting to break free.
Unfortunately, his current miserable state looked precisely like a green grasshopper skewered with a branch by a mischievous child.
Even with all his might, he simply couldn't pull it out.
After just a few seconds, the spear began frantically devouring the golden energy within the target's body.
The light on the leader's body rapidly dimmed, and his vitality drained away at a flying speed.
Knowing he was completely done for, the old fellow instead stopped struggling.
"What kind of spell is this?"
The leader asked weakly.
"Dark Spear, Black Magic."
Rayne's tone had not a single ripple.
"magic that has reached the pinnacle..."
"Truly terrifying."
"Had I known you had this ghost of a trick, I would never have come to look for your trouble."
The old fellow coughed up blood while giving a bitter smile.
"However..."
The leader suddenly grinned, smiling extremely tragically.
"Kill me, and you will regret it sooner or later!"
"In the dictionary of my life, there is no such word as regret."
Rayne decisively retorted.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
"You are bound to regret it for the rest of your life!"
"I sacrifice this old man's soul!"
"I curse you to eternal damnation, I curse you to be thoroughly rejected by the entire Universe!"
As soon as his voice fell, a dazzling bloody red light soared into the sky.
The leader's remains instantly ignited a bizarre fire, turning to ashes and smoke.
A spine-chilling fluctuation rippled out along the starry sky.
Rayne frowned, his face full of sneers.
With strength laid out before his eyes, would he still be afraid of a few last words before Death?
Drip.
Drip.
A bizarre sound of Water drops rang out from thin air.
Rayne raised an eyebrow.
It's raining?
How could it rain in space!
This is simply too absurd.
A trace of surprise flashed through Rayne's eyes as he extended his right hand.
A drop of scarlet blood steadily landed on his palm.
Countless magic knowledge operated frantically in his mind.
"Something is wrong."
"This isn't rainwater; it's a genuine curse."
"Some kind of deep-level Universe law."
"Quite fun."
Rayne clearly perceived.
The bloody rain fell on his skin, quietly drilling into his body.
Every bit that seeped in increased the surrounding Universe space's sense of rejection toward him by a fraction.
It was as if it were frantically expelling an alien element that did not belong to the current World.
"Really interesting."
Rayne pulled out an indifferent smile.
It seemed the old fellow really had some capability, able to pull off such an unprecedented bizarre trick before dying.
If it were anyone else, they would have already pissed their pants from fear.
Rayne instead found it quite novel, studying the surrounding law changes completely defenselessly.
At the same time.
The Observers hiding in the time cracks witnessed the whole process with their own eyes.
Seeing Rayne let the curse afflict him without even dodging, several big-headed monsters collectively gasped a breath of cold air.
What kind of breed of badass is this!
To actually completely not care about this fatal thing?
You must know, a blood curse launched at the cost of the soul—
In past years, even a true god was once cursed to Deathalive by it!
How could this big shot before their eyes be fierce to such a frantic degree!
All the major higher civilizations were in complete chaos.
On a perfectly fine day, bloody Water rained from the sky without warning. Even if aliens had seen great storms, encountering bizarre things would still scare them out of their wits.
Many civilizations immediately established special task forces, desperately tracing the source.
Earth was even more chaotic.
Various high-level figures and top scientists from S.W.O.R.D. were so anxious they scratched their heads straight, losing large handfuls of hair.
Blood rain fell globally; as long as one's brain wasn't filled with Water, everyone knew things were big.
The common people were panic-stricken, and the officials couldn't even make up an excuse to cover the lies.
A bunch of scientific research bigwigs stared blankly at the screens, unable to find a single clue no matter what, driving them mad with despair.
As the chief culprit who caused such towering trouble—
Rayne himself had no idea that the outside World had already turned upside down.
He was honestly suspended in space, savoring the changes in the surrounding laws.
Along with the seeping bloody Water, the entire starry sky's sense of rejection toward him grew increasingly intense.
The Universe energy that used to come at every call had now become extremely sluggish, completely ignoring commands.
It was as if the entire World treated him as a malignant tumor that must be excreted immediately.
After a while, the blood rain that emerged from thin air finally became sparse until it stopped completely.
"Stopped?"
Rayne touched his chin.
Calculating the time, it had rained for a solid half an hour; it was indeed time for it to end.
"Being targeted and ostracized by the entire Universe will feels quite novel."
Rayne calmed his mind, studying the current special state with great interest.
"Ding!"
"Detected that you are experiencing collective boycott from the Universe pan-consciousness."
"Affected by the rejection, your efficiency in calling upon natural energy has plummeted by thirty percent."
"Your perception of the World's underlying laws has dropped to freezing point, and casting spells will face severe obstacles."
"However!"
"A blessing in disguise. Taking advantage of the prime opportunity where you are currently locked onto by the Universe origin, the system has successfully cut in and begun forcibly parsing the Universe's underlying code!"
"Master must maintain the current scolding state, absolutely do not move!"
The system's crisp prompt tones exploded one after another.
Rayne hooked the corner of his mouth, revealing a satisfied smile, simply crossing his arms and comfortably staying in place to idle.
He would never have thought.
Right in the twisted space-time cracks around, several big-headed Observers were still stealthily tailing the whole process.
"It's truly a pity, a badass strong to an absurd degree actually got hit by a Death curse, he definitely won't survive."
A highly-experienced elderly Observer shook his head repeatedly.
"How could that be?"
Morandi immediately spoke up to refute, "His strength is simply unfathomable, even creation deities are wary of him, how could he easily die?"
Morandi had truly opened his eyes today, faintly becoming Rayne's fan.
"Morandi, the years you've experienced are too short, you simply don't understand the terror of the Universe blood curse."
The elderly Observer lectured earnestly.
"Being blacklisted by the entire Universe, even true gods have to kneel when they come. There was once a true deity in prehistoric times who died at the hands of this move."
"Do you know how he actually died? Choked to Death alive while eating!"
After hearing this, Morandi's eyeballs were about to pop out.
"Talking nonsense!"
"As a dignified deity, without needing to breathe or eat, why on Earth would he be choked to Death!"
Morandi felt it absurd to the peak.
"It sounds like a joke, but this is the bloody reality."
The old Observer sighed.
"The Universe will's targeting is impossible to guard against. Even the tiniest low-probability unlucky events will smash onto your head one after another. Energy miscarriage, law collapse, all kinds of coincidences gathered together, exhausting a deity to Death alive."
"Isn't this just pure extreme bad luck, getting your teeth stuck even while drinking cold Water?"
"That's right, plagued by bad luck."
The old man nodded.
"Even if you go out for a stroll, you'll inexplicably get sucked into the self-detonation center of powerhouses. Look, the good show is starting. The extraterrestrial meteorite flying from afar will definitely smash solidly onto his forehead."
Following the direction guided by the old senior, Morandistared fixedly at the deep space.
A giant meteorite of astonishing volume was speeding wildly with a terrifying speed that tore through the galaxy.
As if there was a star-destroying ship pushing it from behind, carrying a violent kinetic energy sufficient to smash a Planet, it crashed straight toward Rayne.
"Did you see clearly, this is the prelude to the Universe will unleashing its power."
The old Observer's tone was resolute.
"Although a broken rock can't hurt him, this is only the first funeral bell of the Death countdown."
Morandi didn't even dare to breathe heavily, staring at the screen without blinking.
Seeing the meteorite about to crash.
Swish!
The high-speed racing meteorite unexpectedly and forcefully made an unbelievable sharp turn, brushing directly past Rayne's side.
The closest distance between the two sides still lacked a full light-year of clearance!
Morandi turned his head with a blank face, looking at the confident old senior.
The old Observer shook violently all over.
Watching the meteorite flying further and further away, his mouth opened wide, looking just like he had swallowed a whole raw egg.
"How is that possible!"
"He clearly got onto the Universe will's must-kill list!"
"The Universe will is emotionless code, absolutely rigid rules, how could it deliberately release water and deviate from its orbit!"
The old man hugged his big head, his worldview completely collapsed.
Morandi suddenly reached out and pointed at the screen.
"Senior, could it have something to do with the thing he's pinching in his hand?"
In the screen.
In Rayne's palm, a weird, ink-black eerie light flickered faintly.
The energy fluctuation was weak to the extreme, and wouldn't be discovered at all without looking closely.
The old Observer glanced along the direction, his huge body suddenly shivering.
"I understand."
The old man swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, the corners of his mouth twitching frantically.
"It's not that the Universe will malfunctioned and didn't target him at all."
"It's that the Universe will... was scared cowed!"
The Observer who had lived for countless epochs roared wildly in his heart.
He swore that in all his lifetime he had never seen such a frantic ruthless person!
Chapter 229: Destroyed the Solar System?
The Observer race.
Can be considered the oldest native civilization in this Universe.
Years so long they were impossible to calculate endowed them with unfathomable wisdom and top-tier technology.
Surviving through countless eras in this World.
They were like emotionless cameras, recording the rise and fall of various civilizations, recording the changes of half the sea of stars.
What kind of huge storms hadn't they seen?
The Earth-shattering things they had witnessed were something mortals couldn't even imagine a ten-thousandth of in their dreams.
But.
Today, several veteran Observers beside Morandi felt their worldview shattered completely.
On what grounds?
A guy who was clearly already blacklisted by the Universe's pan-consciousness.
Could actually stay safe and sound in place, without losing a single hair.
What was even more exaggerated.
This big shot was actually wielding magic, blatantly threatening the entire Universe in return!
It was simply outrageous to the extreme.
Yet he actually succeeded.
Heavens be witness!
How could such an unreasonable damned thing happen in this World?
If it weren't for the fact that their bunch didn't believe in deities at all, they would probably have knelt on the ground kowtowing frantically by now.
Several big heads were so shocked here that their jaws were about to drop.
Yet Ryan had an aloof and breezy appearance.
Controlling the violent magic in the palm of his hand made him feel surprisingly grounded in his heart.
Just a moment ago.
The system's covert act of stealing the Universe's underlying code finally alerted the Universe.
What difference did this make from directly stripping someone's underwear?
Although the Universe's pan-consciousness was just a patchwork monster without independent thought and acted entirely on instinct, it was also impossible for it to watch itself be forcibly cracked.
Facing this counterattack.
The solution given by the system was simple and crude.
Ryan directly pinched out an ultimate magic sufficient to destroy the heavens and Earth.
If it were really smashed out, this Universe would probably restart on the spot.
Sure enough.
The Universe's pan-consciousness instantly became well-behaved and obediently admitted defeat.
"Ding!"
"The system has initially torn open the defense line of the Universe's underlying laws."
"Your right to speak in the current World has been greatly enhanced."
"You have obtained the permission to invoke high-status energy, and calling upon energy is as simple as drinking water."
"All your actions in the current World will obtain absolute green light passage from the underlying laws!"
The system's prompt tones exploded in his mind one after another.
Ryan touched his chin.
Translated by the system like this.
Wouldn't he now become the biological son of this Universe?
Was it finally his turn to experience the exhilarating feeling of being a Child of Destiny?
The system was indeed reliable.
Ryan nodded with satisfaction.
This fight not only didn't suffer a loss, but instead reaped an unimaginably huge benefit.
Wait.
Ryan suddenly froze for a moment, and the expression on his face became somewhat stiff.
He seemed to have overlooked a fatal major matter.
Glancing around at his surroundings.
Before his eyes remained only pitch-black, dead silence in deep space.
Within hundreds of thousands of light-years in radius, not even a ghost's shadow could be found.
All physical matter had evaporated in the terrifying energy Impact from fighting the Celestials just now.
This wasn't just clearing away some cosmic garbage and meteorite fragments.
The entire Solar System, except for Earth.
Was completely gone!
The Sun, Mars, Venus... various familiar celestial bodies.
At this moment, they had long turned into cosmic dust with not even a residue left, completely erased from the World.
Except for Earth, which was tightly protected by his divine power.
The Solar System could now be said to exist in name only.
Earth was still able to rotate and revolve as usual right now, entirely relying on his remaining divine power to forcibly simulate the environment.
But he couldn't possibly be a full-time babysitter here every day, continuously generating electricity for Earth.
"This is really bullshit now!"
Ryan rubbed his temples, suddenly feeling a wave of a headache.
Fighting too happily and accidentally smashing his own Sun into ashes, what should be done about this?
Waiting online, quite urgent!
To be honest.
If it weren't to deal with the leader of the Celestials.
He wouldn't have stirred up such a huge mess.
The leader fought too savagely when putting his life on the line, forcing him to use out-of-specification ultimate power, even causing the Mirror Dimension to be blown apart on the spot.
After this fight ended, the surrounding physical constants and basic rules were all in a mess.
For him to try his utmost to protect Earth was already the limit of operation.
Other celestial bodies had no possibility of surviving at all.
Furthermore, due to the crazy interference of the remaining high-dimensional energy, even reversing time to restart could not be done.
Ryan really had a bit of a toothache now.
"At a time like this, I actually envied this bunch of Gods a bit."
"At least casually pinching a Planet for them is as simple as playing with mud."
Ryan shook his head helplessly.
Having lived for so long, this was the first time he felt regret because he killed too fast.
The bastards of the Celestials died much too early!
Although their fighting skills were a bit crude, their ability to create was top-notch.
Keeping them around, maybe they could even work for free to pinch the Planets back out.
"It seems I can only go trouble the Sorcerer Supreme."
"Have her step forward to invite Eternity to come down for a trip."
"With the five great creation deities taking action, restoring a Solar System is definitely a piece of cake."
"Even if it can't be restored, letting them pinch a new one out of thin air will do."
Ryan made up his mind.
Since he wasn't good at landscaping and construction.
Wouldn't it do to find a specialized contractor?
After figuring it out, Ryan's figure flashed, directly disappearing from the spot.
The void rippled slightly.
A beautiful azure Planet hung lonely and desolate in the dead sea of stars.
Around it, besides it, there was nothing.
The eerie part was.
Even without the gravitational pull of the central star, this Planet was still rotating methodically and revolving around a nihilistic central area.
The surface of the Planet was even sprinkled with warm light.
As if the core Sun had never left at all.
Everywhere exuded an unreason-defying eeriness.
Earth.
Outside the atmosphere.
S.W.O.R.D. space station headquarters.
Nick Fury was sitting steadily in the Director's special seat, flipping through the confidential documents in his hands.
Bang!
An Agent suddenly pushed open the door and barged in hurriedly, his face as pale as a sheet, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
"Director, something major has happened!"
Nick Fury frowned, glancing at him with dissatisfaction.
"As elite of S.W.O.R.D., you must remain calm when encountering matters."
"No matter if the sky falls or the ground sinks, you must be as steady as Mount Tai."
"We are the final iron wall defending Earth after all."
"If you don't even have this bit of composure, what else do you have to protect all humanity?"
Nick Fury output a bunch of bureaucratic talk.
The Agent seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline, immediately standing straight.
"Yes, Director!"
"I have been instructed."
Seeing his subordinate recover his state, Nick Fury then nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, report, what kind of chaos has happened?"
"Yes, Director!"
"The observation department just sent an emergency report, the Sun... has disappeared."
Nick Fury rolled his eyelids.
"What are you talking nonsense about?"
"Isn't the Sun hanging right outside?"
He turned his head to look outside the porthole, the star emitting dazzling light and heat still remaining steadily in place.
"Director, what you see is only an illusion."
"To be precise, the real Sun is no longer here."
"What we see right now is only a virtual image forcibly projected over."
"Not just the Sun, all other Planets, are completely gone."
"The fact is, the entire Solar System has completely vanished into thin air."
The Agent reported at a flying speed.
"What!!!"
Nick Fury bounced up from his chair abruptly, his single eye filled with horror, his eyeballs almost popping out.
"Why didn't you spit it out sooner about such a fatal matter!"
"It was you who told me to remain calm when encountering matters just now..."
The Agent was so wronged he was about to cry.
Nick Fury glared at him fiercely, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.
"Cut the crap!"
"Tell me immediately, since the Sun is gone, on what grounds can Earth still operate as usual!"
Nick Fury questioned loudly.
"The science department is completely unable to explain it."
"There is a terrifying power completely exceeding the limits of cognition, forcibly maintaining Earth's rotation and revolution, and even simulating the Sun's illumination."
"This is simply..."
"An unreasonable divine miracle."
Nick Fury stared fixedly outside the porthole.
"You're right, this kind of work truly deserves the two words 'divine miracle'."
An unpretentious voice rang out in the command room without any warning.
Ryan.
Quietly appeared behind the two of them.
Chapter 230 On-site Teaching? Kicking Out a Venus with One Kick!
There was a deathly silence in the command room.
Nick Fury suddenly turned back, his single eye staring as big as a bronze bell.
Ryan stood lightly behind him just like that, as if he were a ghost.
"When true immortals fight, mortals suffer!" Fury clutched his chest, feeling like his heart disease was about to act up.
Waking up from sleep, the star of his own nest was uprooted by someone! By the way, several Planets were also destroyed! Who could endure this? What was even more absurd was that Earth was still wandering blindly in space, literally blowing off Newton's coffin lid.
The bald scientists of the R&D department underneath, who were crying and shouting for their parents in the channel just now, were now going crazy pulling at their remaining hair.
Fury just wanted to hand in his resignation on the spot. He couldn't keep doing this Director job; it was too hazardous to his health!
"Did you do this good deed?" Fury asked, gritting his teeth.
Ryan shrugged, his tone casual: "We just sparred a bit and didn't hold back our strength. I'll find a contractor to fix it, tell your subordinates to stop screaming."
As soon as his voice fell, Ryan directly opened a Portal and slipped away, leaving behind a bewildered Fury.
...
Earth.
Kamar-Taj.
Sorcerer Ancient One stared fixedly at Ryan, her mouth opening and closing, unable to squeeze out half a word.
After holding it in for a full two minutes, she finally let out a long breath of foul air.
"Ryan."
"You are the fiercest mage since the establishment of our Kamar-Taj, and your talent absolutely ranks first."
"But can you take it easy!"
"Earth is a squishy, it can't withstand you tossing it around blindly like this!"
Ancient One spoke earnestly, her face full of mental exhaustion.
Going out to fight a battle, the nine Planets of the Solar System directly shrank into a bare commander. If they went out to fight two more battles, Earth wouldn't even have ashes left!
When accepting disciples back then, who could have expected to take in a humanoid walking star-destroying cannon?
It was absurd to the extreme!
Ancient One drank two cups of hot tea in a row, finally smoothing out her breath.
"Can you really be sure that God Eternity is willing to come forward to clean up this mess?"
"Put your heart in your stomach, the creation deity has eyes and hands reaching the sky, pinching a galaxy is as simple as playing with mud."
Ryan waved his hand.
For him, rebooting the Multiverse was like drinking Water, and creating a Solar System again was definitely a piece of cake.
"Fine."
Ancient One nodded.
"However."
"Ryan, can you quiet down for a few days recently?"
"An old person's heart is not good, I really can't handle you making world-destroying big news outside every day." Ancient One sighed helplessly.
"Understood, understood." Ryan nodded repeatedly.
That's right, elderly people had weak bodies and really couldn't bear this kind of stimulation.
As they were chatting, the space beside the two of them suddenly rippled.
Ryan turned his head.
Eternity turned into the appearance of an ordinary person, appearing silently in the main hall.
"God Eternity, I have to trouble you to act again today."
Ancient One quickly stood up, her attitude very respectful.
"Sorry to trouble the big boss for a trip." Ryan also greeted.
Eternity glanced at Ryan, his face instantly piled with a brilliant smile.
"It's a trivial matter, please don't stand on ceremony with me!"
Eternity smiled brighter than a flower, simply affectionate to the bone.
Are you kidding, the person in front of him was a living ancestor!
Single-handedly delivering all the Celestials to transcendence, his strength was simply off the charts. Running into a ruthless person of this level, he had to get the relationship right!
Running over to pinch a Solar System, he could easily make the other party owe a huge favor.
This business was simply a bloody profit!
"God is too modest." Ryan made a casual polite remark.
Eternity waved his big hand.
"Let's go, let's go into space to handle it while we chat. Ryan, you come along and watch too. With your current realm, maybe you'll learn it after looking twice."
Eternity was in a great mood and took the initiative to act as a mentor.
"Thank you for your high regard, God."
The three of them chatted and laughed, their figures flashing as they directly stepped into the vast starry sky.
Standing in the dead depths of the Universe, Eternitypointed at the surrounding empty area and began to explain.
"Ryan, at our level, doing Planet development is actually very simple."
"Creating something from nothing out of thin air takes a bit of effort, but recasting is much easier."
"As long as you extract the Universe information remaining in the void, you can just replicate it directly according to the blueprint."
Eternity imparted experience like an old Professor.
Ryan nodded on the surface, but couldn't help muttering in his heart.
It's easy for someone standing to talk.
Even for a dead Planet, the gravity, physical constants, and material structure involved were complicated to the extreme, how could it be as easy as it sounded?
Eternity didn't know that Ryan was complaining internally, and directly prepared for on-site teaching.
"Watch closely, I'll demonstrate it to you once."
Eternity extended his index finger and gently pointed towards the void.
The underlying rules around instantly shook violently.
The residual information hidden in the long river of time frantically gathered towards Eternity's fingertips.
In less than half a minute, a huge information stream gathered and formed.
The divine power within Eternity suddenly erupted.
Countless meteorite materials were forcibly dragged over from an unknown dimension, instantly condensing together.
A brand new Planet quickly formed.
It was precisely Venus, which had been blasted into slag by the aftermath of the battle earlier.
"See that? It's just that simple."
After speaking, Eternity raised his leg and delivered a violent whip kick directly at the huge Venus.
Boom!
Venus, having taken the kick, gained huge kinetic energy and immediately obediently began to rotate on its orbit, with no difference from a naturally generated Planet.
"Ding!"
"Detected that you are closely observing the creation miracle."
"You have comprehended the original mystery of the Universe from it."
"Congratulations! You have comprehended a brand new magic: Star-Casting Art! You can now knead Planets with your bare hands!"
The system's crisp voice exploded in his mind.
Ryan was stunned on the spot.
What the hell? Kneading a Planet actually counts as a magic category?
This cheat doesn't even care about basic laws anymore!
Ryan had a look of astonishment.
Eternity opposite misunderstood, thinking that Ryan was shocked by his miraculous means.
Eternity felt wonderful in his heart immediately.
Being able to make such a fierce man dumbfounded, the sense of achievement was simply maxed out.
"How is it? It's actually not difficult at all."
"Why don't you practice it yourself?" Eternity casually uttered a polite remark.
"Sure, I was just wanting to try."
Ryan didn't stand on ceremony at all and directly nodded in agreement.
The smile on Eternity's face instantly froze.
Holy crap! I was just being casually polite, why did you take it seriously!
Kneading a Planet was a high-precision and cutting-edge technical job, back then he had studied for over a billion years before fully figuring it out!
But since the words were already put out, Eternity could only feign calmness.
"Try it, go ahead and do it."
"Anyway, I'll be staring right next to you, even if you knead it to explosion it's fine, consider it paying tuition fees."
Eternity waved his hand pretending to be magnanimous, but in his heart he was ready to watch Ryan make a fool of himself.
Chapter 241: Shocking S.H.I.E.L.D.? The creator deity is about to have his mental defense broken!
Eternity crossed his arms over his chest, his heart brimming with confidence.
As a natural-born deity, learning anything was as simple as eating and drinking.
But even with such outrageously high talent, back when he was trying to figure out the ropes of crafting a Planet, he had spent a good several hundred million years doing so.
Learn it just by looking at it once?
That was pure daydreaming.
He stood quietly to the side with a smile on his lips, just waiting for Ryan to mess up so he could step in and save the day.
Ryan completely ignored the old man puzzling away beside him.
With a grave expression, he decided to start with the Sun.
Despite a star's massive volume, its structure was actually the simplest.
A Planet's interior had to be divided into a crust and a core, which was too troublesome.
Put simply, a star was just a large nuclear fusion fireball; you just had to gather the fuel and light a fire.
Ryan closed his eyes and cast out his perception.
"Ding! The system is collecting residual Universe data."
"The Star-Casting technique has collected the Planetmodel."
"Forging officially begins. Please do not get distracted, otherwise it is easy to cause the casting to fail."
A crisp prompt tone sounded.
Violent winds suddenly whipped up in the void, and a massive amount of matter surged out from an unknown space.
A large amount of helium and tritium converged frantically.
Before long, a pitch-black, giant rock-like embryonic sphere materialized out of thin air.
Eternity beside him looked as if his eyeballs were about to pop out onto the ground.
He drew a sharp breath, cursing frantically in his heart.
An embryonic form was made just like that?!
Is there any justice left in this world?!
With his vision, he could naturally tell that this thing had already succeeded by ninety percent; it just needed a fire lit to emit light and heat.
Learn the most profound technique just by taking a glance at it?
Eternity felt that his painstaking studies over the past several billion years had all gone to waste.
Ryan curled his finger and flicked it gently.
The pitch-black sphere was ignited instantly, turning with a boom into a violent, giant yellow fireball.
A brand-new star was born just like that.
Yet Ryan seemed somewhat unsatisfied.
With a slight frown, he gave a casual wave, and the fireball in front of him directly extinguished and vanished.
He pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.
"What are you messing around with?"
Eternity finally couldn't help speaking up.
"The gravity has a slight deviation, I need to find the cause."
Ryan answered very earnestly.
Eternity's mouth twitched frantically, almost bursting into curses.
Such a huge fireball, what's wrong with a slight fluctuation in gravity?
Which star in the Universe didn't erupt with flares?
As long as it could emit light and heat, wasn't that enough!
Did he have to pursue perfection?
Eternity sighed with a weary heart; he found that he completely failed to understand the freak in front of him.
Truly, comparing people to each other could infuriate someone to death. He didn't even want to say another word, for fear of being angered to death on the spot.
Ryan had poured all his attention into crafting Planets.
Earth depended entirely on the Sun for survival, so no carelessness could be tolerated.
What if a gravitational anomaly roasted Earth?
He had to strive for perfection.
As his spiritual power covered every aspect, the internal structure was adjusted to the most perfect state.
A flawless star finally floated steadily in space.
"Done."
Ryan nodded in satisfaction.
Just as he was about to chat with Eternity for a bit, a sudden urgent ringtone sounded.
"Ring ring ring."
Ryan was stunned and pulled a special communicator out of his pocket.
It was a high-tech product given by Nick Fury, claiming to allow zero-latency communication within one million light-years.
After connecting, Fury's incomparably heavy voice came through the communicator.
"Ryan, something major has happened. The Sun is gone."
"Oh, it's fine. I didn't hold back during a fight earlier and broke it."
Ryan's tone was as casual as if he were talking about breaking a glass cup.
The other end of the communicator instantly fell into dead silence.
Cold sweat covered Fury's forehead. Earth's guardian deity had smashed the Sun?!
How was this job supposed to be done!
Holding back for a full half-minute, Fury finally roared hysterically.
"What should we do! Without a star, Earth will immediately turn into a giant ice cave, and all of humanity will be finished!"
"What are you panicking for."
Ryan glanced at the huge fireball in front of him, his tone calm.
"Isn't it just a luminous sphere? I've already made a new one."
"What the heck?!"
A harsh scream erupted from the communicator, startling Ryan into moving the device half a meter away.
"You... You said you made a Sun? What kind of nonsense is this!"
"Literally. The Sun is already done, and I'm about to whip up the other Planets too. Rest assured, I'll be finished in a moment."
With that, Ryan directly hung up the communicator and prepared to continue working.
On the other side.
Fury slumped in his seat like a pile of mud.
His single eye was dull, and his mind went completely blank.
Crafting a Sun?
Is this something a human being can pull off?!
It was his first time crafting a star, so he was a bit out of practice.
Switching to making ordinary Planets, the speed was simply flying.
Taking at most half an hour, Ryan completely restored the entire galaxy.
Even the Kuiper Belt craters that he had accidentally brushed away earlier were meticulously recreated one-to-one.
It was purely an obsessive-compulsive flare, striving for perfection.
The old man standing to the side had long since been dumbfounded.
His entire forehead was covered in giant question marks.
Who am I? Where am I? What did I run over here for?
Eternity fell into deep self-doubt.
Holding back for a long time, the old man looked at the brand-new galaxy and just wanted to bury his head and cry.
Weren't they supposed to invite him out of seclusion to be the savior?
How did he end up reduced to an audience member buying tickets to watch a show?
Couldn't this kid Ryan show some consideration for an old man's self-esteem?
Running such a long way just to stand here like a statue—who could take that!
What hurt even more was...
The old man watched in terror as his own personally crafted crappy Planet couldn't even compare to the one Ryan casually made!
This was too bullying!
Where was a deity's dignity supposed to go?
Seeing Ryan arrange the eight Planets clearly and lowering his head to admire his work.
The old man hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs: "There's still Pluto! Leave it to me to fill in!"
Without even waiting for Ryan's reply, the old man rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward, forcibly shoving back Pluto, which had been expelled from the planetary roster at the edge.
Not for anything else, just to win back his last shred of pride!
The old man puffed and panted as he crafted for a long time, finally finishing up.
As a result, when he turned his head to look, Ryan didn't have time to pay attention to him at all.
Ryan was busy patching up the shattered physical constants all around.
If he didn't hurry up and straighten out the messy underlying logic, the physicists on Earth would all be lining up to jump off buildings tomorrow morning.
Sweeping away all traces of battle, Ryan finally let out a long breath of relief.
He secretly swore that he would never fight right outside his old home ever again; win or lose, cleaning up the mess was utterly exhausting.
Turning around and walking over to the old man, Ryan spoke quite politely: "Great Deity, thank you for your help today."
Eternity's mouth twitched frantically.
He even suspected that Ryan was intentionally being sarcastic. He clearly hadn't done anything, just made an icy lump that no one cared about, acting as a background prop the whole time.
But looking at Ryan's sincere expression, the old man blushed and braced himself to reply: "Hey, don't mention it, it's just a small matter."
As a creation-tier big shot, his skin had to be thick. Since the other person was insisting on bestowing a favor, it would be foolish not to accept it.
Ryan smiled upon hearing this: "Great Deity, you don't need to be modest. Your timely assistance and great kindness are etched in my heart. If there's anything you need from me in the future, just say the word."
Having learned a supreme magic from the other person for free, and having brought them over to boost morale, the polite pleasantries had to be fully expressed.
Hearing a few flattering words, Eternity finally wore a satisfied smile on his face.
After chatting for just a few moments, the old man finally couldn't hold back his inner madness and asked directly: "Tell me, Ryan, how on Earth did you learn to craft Planets? Even if your power meets the standard, creation belongs to the Universe's authority, and you shouldn't even touch the threshold without a few hundred million years! If it's private, you don't have to say."
Ryan spread his hands, his tone as calm as drinking plain water: "Nothing confidential. I just learned it as ordinary magic. When it comes to spell research, I happen to consider myself an expert."
Upon hearing this, Eternity petrified on the spot.
What the heck? Learned as ordinary magic?!
Outrageous! Creating Planets touched the highest authority at the bottom layer of the Universe, requiring massive calculations and absolute delicate control over the laws. How did it sound as casual as a Fireball spell coming out of your mouth?
Having lived for countless epochs and seen countless freaks, he had truly never seen someone so inhumane!
The old man coughed heavily twice, forcibly covering up his loss of composure: "Fine, fine, fine. A mage using magic, nothing wrong with that, haha."
Thinking the old man just had this eccentric temperament, Ryan casually invited: "Would the Great Deity like to go to Kamar-Taj for a cup of tea?"
The old man nodded in agreement. The three of them directly returned to Earth.
Although Eternity's combat power was dragging down the team, making him solidly the comedic relief of the deity world, the cosmic gossip and ancient secrets packed inside his belly were definitely massive. Chatting with a living fossil was definitely a foolproof investment.
Ryan pricked up his ears and listened the whole way. His fists were strong, but in terms of vision, he was still far behind the old monster.
Time flew by fast.
A few days vanished in the blink of an eye. The three-person tea party also reached its end.
The old man patted his backside and stood up: "Alright, I've nagged long enough, I must be heading out."
Ryan nodded repeatedly to see him off: "Chatting with the Great Deity truly broadens one's knowledge."
After a round of mutual commercial flattery, the two sent the old man off.
Ryan turned around and plunged straight into the library to continue his research.
Ancient One returned to her meditation chamber, just wanting to rest for a moment.
A ripple of space stirred, and the old man unexpectedly made a comeback.
"I almost forgot something important!" The old man's expression turned instantly solemn as he looked at Ancient One.
"Please give your instructions, Great Deity." Ancient One's attitude was respectful.
"The precious disciple you taught has solidly attained the realm of a deity. You must keep a close eye on him, and make sure his human emotions do not disappear."
"For a bunch of us natural-born deities, being unfeeling is completely normal. But for a fellow who evolved from a mortal, it's definitely a fatal hidden danger!" Eternitywarned loudly.
Ancient One's heart shook violently, and she immediately nodded solemnly: "I understand."
Seeing this, the old man tore open a spatial rift and left completely.
Ancient One sighed helplessly.
Most of those in the Universe who achieved godhood through their own abilities met tragic ends. The crux of the matter lay in the erosion of their humanity.
Not needing to eat, not needing to sleep, having no physiological needs, and even suppressing emotions entirely through energy.
Over time, even the basic feelings of being human were gone, ultimately turning them into a cold-hearted rules machine.
It seemed she had to think of a countermeasure quickly.
Chapter 242: You Went to Open a Portal, and You Tore the Sky Open?
Lately, Ryan had been holled up in the library.
He didn't eat or sleep.
He poured all his focus into researching magic, completely losing track of time.
Today.
He was buried in his studies.
The Ancient One suddenly pushed open the heavy doors and strode in.
"Ryan, why are you still reading?"
"Do you know how long you've been staying here?"
"A full three months!"
The Ancient One stared intently at Ryan, her face full of seriousness.
Doing magic research really took time. Some old-timers spent centuries in closed-door cultivation at a time, which was totally fine.
But they were old!
They had lived long, had broad horizons, and had roamed the Multiverse.
How old was Ryan anyway?
He was too young!
Immersing himself in magic all day long, there was a chance he might assimilate directly with the underlying logic of the Universe at any time.
If he really became a part of the Universe's rules, he would be completely gone.
Therefore, the Ancient One's gaze towards Ryan was filled with worry.
Ryan scratched his head, his face full of question marks.
"It's only three months, not that long, right?" he replied casually.
"It's not long."
"But I am very worried."
"Ryan, humans must never completely indulge in power."
"You will lose yourself in the boundless magic."
The Ancient One's tone was unprecedentedly serious.
"The cosmic entities just warned me."
"If you keep going like this, your humanity will rapidly drain away."
"In the end, you'll completely turn into a machine without emotions," the Ancient One said in a deep voice.
"It's not that exaggerated, Sorcerer Supreme."
"I feel pretty great right now." Ryan scratched his head again.
"You feel great now, but what about the future?"
"You think you can stay sober for ten years, a hundred years?"
"But can you guarantee that you won't change for hundreds of millions or billions of years?"
"With your current lifespan, even if the Universe explodes, you won't die. Are you sure your mind can handle it?"
"Even the great Eternity has to rely on sleeping to resist the erosion of time."
"Are you sure you can do it?"
The Ancient One questioned him like machine-gun fire.
Ryan was stunned.
Thinking about it carefully, the Sorcerer Supreme made a lot of sense.
Reaching his current realm.
Death was not a threat at all.
Time was the most terrifying enemy.
In the long years, if he didn't have some human desires as anchors, he would definitely turn into a cold monster. At worst, he might even suffer a mental breakdown and drop dead directly.
He definitely didn't want to end up as a lunatic.
Besides, the Sorcerer Supreme also had good intentions.
"Fine, you're right. I'll just rest for a few days." Ryan readily nodded and agreed.
"Great, as long as you can listen." The Ancient One finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, I really don't know what to do." Ryan spread his hands with a wry smile.
Suddenly having free time.
His whole body felt uncomfortable.
Play games? Using his reaction speed to bully newbies was purely picking on kids.
Watching Ryan's troubled look, the Ancient One shook her head helplessly.
"Look at you, you don't even have a shred of youthful vigor on you."
"Instead, you look like an old man."
"Yeah, even older than me," the Ancient One complained with a straight face.
"Sorcerer Supreme, stop joking." Ryan retorted very seriously.
"I'm not joking." The Ancient One stared at Ryan.
Ryan's mouth twitched wildly.
"I'm only in my early twenties!"
"Have you ever seen any twenty-something young man soaking in the library every day, gnawing on a bunch of magic books that look like ghost talismans?" The Ancient One gave him an eye-roll.
Then she dealt another critical blow:
"Some books give even me a headache."
Ryan almost choked to Death on his own saliva.
Why hadn't he noticed before that the Ancient One's words were so venomous? Being hundreds of years old, her temper was still like a little girl's.
Seeing Ryan's deflated expression, a trace of a smile finally flashed across the Ancient One's eyes.
"That's right, young people should smile more."
"Since you have nothing to do."
"Come with me, I'll take you to a good place," the Ancient One directly commanded.
"Where to?"
"A mage exchange convention!" the Ancient One said in a flat tone.
"What?"
"What era is this, there are still such old-fashioned gatherings on Earth?" Ryan was dumbfounded.
What kind of development had modern society reached, and a bunch of mages were still having offline gatherings? It was too magical.
"Who told you it's being held on Earth?" The Ancient Oneglanced at Ryan.
"Huh?"
"Not on Earth?" Ryan was full of doubts.
"Of course."
"This is a gathering jointly organized by several nearby dimensions."
"The participating mages come from major dimensions."
"Some even rushed over from other Universes."
"They are all top experts, just right to take you out to see the World," the Ancient One casually explained.
Ryan's mouth twitched frantically.
His teacher had a wide enough social circle!
She even had acquaintances in the Multiverse? Wasn't she the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth? She acted like an interstellar diplomat.
"Fine then."
"Anyway, having nothing better to do, I'll tag along with you to join the fun." Ryan readily agreed.
Actually, he was also quite curious in his heart.
The spatial structure of the Marvel Universe was intricate and complex.
All kinds of dimensions were bizarre. There were normal planes, and there was also the Dark Dimension where Dormammu stayed.
Being able to see alien mages, and by the way check out what kind of friends the Ancient One made, it was definitely not a loss.
"Alright, let's set off immediately."
"We are going to a nearby plane."
"Note down the coordinates." After speaking, the Ancient One directly recited a string of coordinates.
"Understood."
Ryan nodded.
Slightly releasing his perception, he instantly locked onto the destination.
He raised his hand and violently tore forward, and a Portalmaterialized out of thin air.
"Teacher, please go first." Ryan was very polite.
The Ancient One nodded with satisfaction.
With a disciple by his side, where was the logic of a master opening the door personally?
Without a second word, the Ancient One lifted her leg and stepped into the Portal.
In the blink of an eye.
The Ancient One landed in an unfamiliar plane.
She just wanted to turn around and call for Ryan to follow.
As a result, when she turned back.
The smile on the Ancient One's mouth instantly stiffened.
I saw that high up in the sky behind her—
A terrifying spatial rift spanning across the heavens and the Earth had strikingly torn the firmament apart!
It was as if the entire sky had been ruthlessly chopped in half by someone!
The mages who had arrived early below were all scared silly, and the crowd was buzzing wildly like an exploding wok.
The Ancient One even saw several top experts sprinting towards this side at full speed with panicked expressions.
The Ancient One's old face twitched wildly.
She was wrong!
She was dead wrong!
She shouldn't have let this brat Ryan be responsible for opening the door in the first place!
This punk.
No matter where he went, he could always make some Earth-shattering big commotion!
"Eh."
"Sorcerer Supreme, why are you blocking the doorway?"
Ryan's voice came out from the huge rift.
The corners of the Ancient One's mouth twitched violently and uncontrollably.
Chapter 243: The Mage With Half a Brain and the Ancient One's Gossip! The Ancient One actually should have anticipated this long ago.
No matter where this perverted disciple she took in went, he would definitely be able to stir up World-shattering commotions.
However.
As the Sorcerer Supreme, even if she was panicking inside, on the outside she still had to remain as steady as an old dog.
Watching several local mages hurriedly flying over from the ground, the Ancient One immediately put on a stern face.
She also released her unique magical aura to let the group on the other side easily verify her identity.
In the blink of an eye.
Several mages landed steadily right in front of them.
Ryan stood in the back, rubbing his chin as he carefully sized up these "alien friends".
They looked decent enough, quite resembling Earthlings.
It was just that their attire and styling exuded a strong feudal retro vibe.
Compared to the modern mages in Kamar-Taj who munched on burgers while scrolling through their phones, these guys looked much more like traditional spellcasters.
Especially with the intricate robes draped over their bodies and the various jlingling magic accessories hanging off them.
At a glance, they were filthy rich local tyrants!
"So it is Master Ancient One gracing us with your presence."
Before the leading mage even landed, he very politely cupped his hands at a distance to greet her.
"Ah, it is Haguolte, why are you still responsible for standing guard and keeping watch during this gathering?"
The Ancient One nodded slightly in return.
"How has your Grandpa's health been recently?"
The smile on Haguolte's face instantly froze awkwardly.
"Master Ancient One, I am truly sorry, my Grandpa passed away two hundred years ago."
"Fortunately, I am somewhat capable and managed to take over his mantle."
Hearing this, the Ancient One curled her lips.
"That is indeed quite a pity."
Haguolte wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly changed the subject.
"Master Ancient One, we can chat about family matters later."
"What on Earth is going on up above?"
Haguolte extended his finger, pointing tremblingly at mid-air.
Following his finger.
Above the firmament, a terrifying rift stretching fully over a thousand kilometers hung horizontally across the void, as if it wanted to split the entire World in half, and it was currently sewing itself back together extremely slowly.
Hearing these words.
Ryan rubbed his nose with a guilty conscience and quietly turned his head away.
With her hands behind her back, the Ancient One fiercely glared at Ryan in secret, then casually turned her head away with breezy indifference.
"Just a minor accident. My hand shook a bit when opening the Portal, so I made it slightly too big."
"This cannot be considered any fatal trouble, right?"
The Ancient One glanced at Haguolte, her tone as plain as drinking White water.
Glug!
Haguolte swallowed a large mouthful of saliva with difficulty, cold sweat pouring down in streams.
"Hehe... Right, right, right."
"It is indeed not a big trouble."
"Since you have already arrived, leave the rest of the cleanup work to me."
"Your exclusive room has been tidied up long ago, you can go straight to the old place to rest your feet."
Haguolte stuttered as he agreed.
How dare he say a single word of refusal?
A big shot who could tear a thousand-kilometer opening in the sky might drag this plane down to be buried with her if she got pissed off.
"Sorry to trouble you."
The Ancient One calmly nodded and led Ryan straight ahead.
Ryan followed behind like a curious baby, looking around and wildly scanning the novel gadgets around him.
Seeing Ryan's face full of curiosity, the Ancient Onecasually explained a couple of sentences.
"Haguolte's Grandpa had a pretty good relationship with me back then, and he was also one of the initiators who built this gathering place."
"What we are stepping on under our feet used to be a shattered abandoned dimension."
"It was pieced back together jointly by a few of us old bones, specially used as a neutral zone for mages from major dimensions to communicate and trade."
"I really did not expect that this old fellow had already kicked the bucket."
There was a hint of sentimentality in the Ancient One's tone.
Living for too long, having seen too many partings of life and death, but with old friends withering away, it always left a bitter taste in one's heart.
"This experience is simply absolute."
Ryan grinned.
Having transmigrated for so long, he could finally, just like the protagonists in novels, experience the legendary high-end underground mage trading gathering!
Full of anticipation, Ryan's brain had already begun imagining all kinds of mysterious ancient castles, alchemical puppets, and even towering mage towers reaching into the clouds.
Until he followed the Ancient One into a three-story small Western-style house.
The anticipation on Ryan's face instantly shattered all over the floor.
Pushing open the door.
This place was practically indistinguishable from the staff dormitory of Kamar-Taj!
Soft genuine leather sofas, a fully automatic double-door refrigerator, and even a top-tier latest model gaming console placed in the corner!
The corners of Ryan's mouth twitched wildly.
What kind of mage secluded sanctuary was this supposed to be?
What happened to the promised mystical side magiccivilization? Why was it fully armed with modern technological equipment!
Catching a glimpse of Ryan's dazed expression, the Ancient One instantly guessed the other party's small thoughts.
"Ryan, I have emphasized this countless times."
"We are high-end spellcasters who research magic, not primitive savages drilling wood to make fire in caves."
"Analyzing the laws of the Universe and mastering the great forces of nature, in essence, we should be the trendsetters walking at the forefront of technology. You must engrave this truth into your bones."
The Ancient One lectured with a straight face.
Casually turning on the multi-functional induction cooker nearby, she boiled a pot of Water for herself to prepare tea.
Ryan rolled a huge White eye, completely speechless.
Fine.
You are the Sorcerer Supreme, your fists are hard, whatever you say is right.
Ryan deeply suspected.
He had definitely entered a fake mage circle.
Not only were these people fiercely savage in close-combat physical brawls, but they also indulged in various high-tech electronic products every day.
Even the librarian watching the door was a black fatty addicted to pop music!
Compared to these freaks, a traditional mage like him who honestly rubbed Fireballs fit in like a sore thumb.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just as Ryan was full of inner complaints, the door was knocked on.
The mages who could come to participate in the gathering all paid extreme attention to personal privacy.
To avoid friction, the gathering had an ironclad rule: it was strictly forbidden to casually release spiritual power to probe the surrounding environment.
Of course, with Ryan's current monstrous strength, even if he opened up his spiritual power for scanning, no one would be able to detect it.
But being new here, Ryan decided to do as the romans did, walking over obediently to pull open the door.
Standing outside the door was a thin, withered old man whose White beard was almost hanging down to his navel.
"Hahaha! Ancient One, I heard that you pulled off a big job right after arriving and poked a hole in the sky?"
"This certainly does not look like your usual cautious style!"
The old man with the White beard smiled until his eyes squinted into a slit, greeting him cheerfully.
As soon as those words were spoken.
The old man then opened his eyes, his line of sight happening to fall on Ryan who opened the door.
The old man was suddenly stunned, carefully sizing up Ryan twice.
"Eh?"
"Ancient One, I have not seen you for hundreds of years, and you actually went and changed your sex?"
Ryan:???
Head full of black lines.
"Guoerqiao, if you dare to talk nonsense full of crap again, do you believe that today I will stuff you into the Sun core and roast you into jerky!"
The Ancient One's ice-cold voice came from inside the house.
Hearing this familiar voice, the old man with the White beard finally realized that he had recognized the wrong person.
"Ouch, I am truly sorry, young man."
"My brain is sick, please bear with it."
Guoerqiao smiled apologetically at Ryan with a full face of apology.
Ryan:???
"Ryan, do not mind him."
"This old fellow Guoerqiao indeed lacks a string in his brain."
"Three hundred years ago, he blindly tinkered with space travel experiments, and as a result, something went wrong, directly teleporting half of his brain into some unknown dimension."
"It still has not been found until now, and he is crazy all day long."
The Ancient One walked over holding a teacup, exposing his shortcomings without any mercy.
Ryan petrified on the spot.
Staring dead at this little old man in front of him with a strange look.
Guoerqiao grinned foolishly without caring at all, completely unable to be seen as a madman who could cut half of his own brain matter when ruthless.
Ryan drew a sharp breath of cold air.
This mage communication convention was indeed more thrilling than fighting with Loki!
They were all a bunch of life-risking lunatics!
"Alright, do not stand foolishly at the door, come in and sit."
"Guoerqiao, give me the bottom line, which familiar faces all came to this gathering?"
The Ancient One invited the old man into the house, casually pouring a cup of hot tea and handing it over.
Leaving Earth.
The Ancient One's chatterbox obviously opened up a lot.
"There is no fresh blood, it is all of us old fellows who are about to go into the Earth."
"However..."
Guoerqiao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and suddenly lowered his voice.
"Casido is also here."
Hearing this name.
The Ancient One suddenly stood up, her voice instantly raising by an octave.
"What!"
"How did this shameless dog thing run over as well?"
Ryan raised his eyebrows, and the soul of gossip instantly burned.
"Sorcerer Supreme, is this a mortal feud you forged in the past?"
Ryan pursued with great interest.
"A mortal feud is hardly the case."
"He is just a shameless scoundrel, extremely difficult to deal with."
The Ancient One's brows furrowed into the shape of the character 'Chuan', full of disgust.
"Hehe, young man, has the Ancient One never told you about her romantic affairs?"
Guoerqiao winked at Ryan, smiling very wretchedly.
"This kid Casido can barely be considered your master's ex-boyfriend."
Ryan:???
Such a huge melon!
"Guoerqiao! Today I will definitely peel off your skin and rub it into a carpet!"
The Ancient One trembled all over with anger, roaring through gritted teeth.
"Ryan, do not listen to this crazy old man's nonsense!"
"Casido and I absolutely have no half-cent relationship!"
The Ancient One turned her head and shouted to explain to Ryan, her cheeks unexpectedly surfacing a rare trace of slight redness.
Ryan looked at his own teacher with a weird expression.
The more you try to hide, the more you betray yourself!
Sorcerer Supreme, this panicked appearance of yours truly has not a single bit of persuasiveness!
