They merely noticed that the magic within them had suddenly become far more active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Frigga, Queen of Asgard, immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also understood the significance of those barriers, and asked in astonishment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorcerer Supreme, are you not afraid of a massive invasion by extradimensional entities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-bearded old mage replied helplessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better that than letting those two smash the barriers apart themselves and forcing us to painstakingly repair them afterward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferocious battle no longer allowed the Sorcerer Supreme to remain a mere observer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instructed the others:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mordo, Kaecilius—you will each lead a group responsible for repairing the tears in space they create.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual motion, the Ancient One opened and closed a portal instantly, bringing two people before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean Grey was startled by the silent teleportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanda Maximoff reacted similarly, though the moment she saw the old mage she respectfully greeted him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorcerer Supreme.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean Grey recognized Wanda Maximoff—Quicksilver’s sister—and relaxed slightly. Rather than resisting or questioning anything immediately, she first chose to observe the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Grey. Scarlet Witch. Your task is to suppress the Sentry’s large-scale matter manipulation abilities as much as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instruction left both heroines confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanda asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorcerer Supreme, how are we supposed to do something like that? We’ve never learned magic like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t need to learn it, child,\" the Ancient One replied. \"When your instincts tell you something is wrong, resist with all your strength. That alone will suffice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the face of primordial power, spells and incantations are unnecessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Scarlet Witch—you are to lead that group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed toward the assembled witches and mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanda nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Sorcerer Supreme.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean Grey then asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And me? Can I return to my teammates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may. But remember what I just told you. This is extremely important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean followed Wanda away from the Kamar-Taj mages’ position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she still didn’t fully understand, she figured obeying was enough for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient One then turned to his disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stark. You will use the Book of the Vishanti to create mirror dimensions and force those two to fight within them. Queen Frigga and I will serve as two corners of the Vishanti Triangular Formation to support your magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony Stark stared in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean I’m leading this? Seriously?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distant battle had already begun twisting Manhattan into a surreal landscape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rifts in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skyscrapers shattering like mirrors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange galaxies appearing overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnificent planets seemingly hanging just beyond reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that didn’t even include the countless indistinct eyes peering through the cracks in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even more indescribable and incomprehensible things assaulting human sanity and understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient One’s two senior disciples followed orders, each leading groups to repair the torn spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"wounds\" had already become too dense to heal naturally. Left unchecked, dimensions would overlap, spatial chaos would spread, and catastrophe would become unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, the Ancient One shoved the supreme artifact—the Book of the Vishanti—into his still immature disciple’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only you can keep up with his speed of thought. Neither Queen Frigga nor I can accomplish that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you refuse, this world is doomed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—and he—are our hope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He will defeat the Void.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will protect Earth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his senior fellow disciples scrambling desperately despite having studied magic longer than him, Tony Stark finally stopped protesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He formed a spell seal with his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Book of the Vishanti floated before him, its pages rapidly turning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just from observing the destruction alone, Tony already understood that their battle was beginning to affect reality itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no illusions that trapping those two inside a mirror dimension would somehow imprison them permanently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he cast another spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eye of Agamotto immediately rose from his chest, projecting magical radiance that formed a miniature celestial sphere before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even reduced to tiny points on the sphere, the two combatants moved at impossible speeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tracking them with ordinary vision was utterly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony swept his right arm in a wide arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mirror dimension formed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—and was immediately punched through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield instantly returned to Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Tony finally understood why the Sorcerer Supreme had specifically chosen him to lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only his uniquely rapid spellcasting mind could possibly keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supported by the Cloak of Levitation, Tony floated higher into the air, one knee bent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Book of the Vishanti acted as the arrowhead connecting him to Ancient One and Frigga behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vishanti itself was a trinity of white magic gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the phantom of Omnipotent Oshtur appeared behind the Ancient One.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though from a different magical system, Queen Frigga borrowed the power of Hoary Hosts as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the image of Agamotto manifested over Tony Stark, he spread his hands outward like butterfly wings—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—and eight additional pairs of arms split from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together with his original arms, nine pairs of hands flew through spell signs at dizzying speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New York transformed into a kaleidoscope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night sky bloomed with multicolored geometric flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buildings generated more buildings like endlessly multiplying blocks that rolled and shifted through space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside reality itself, Tony Stark created mirror dimension after mirror dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most were destroyed before they could fully stabilize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one actually completed formation, it didn’t mean it had been lucky—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It simply meant that dimension had failed to catch even a glimpse of those two monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Tony had to calculate coverage range, positioning, and construction speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even needed to predict where the two monsters would move next and prepare dimensions in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without prediction, even ignoring spellcasting speed, his efforts could easily be wasted—creating entire mirror worlds that the combatants never entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all this was with support from Ancient One, Frigga, and the Book of the Vishanti dramatically accelerating dimension creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, Tony couldn’t simply cast a giant net over reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That approach was too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only desperately predict their trajectory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only they would move their battle into outer space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the Void seemed deliberately fixated on densely populated New York, hoping to pressure Superman psychologically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this man dressed as Superman truly were the comic-book Superman, then the Void’s strategy would undoubtedly have worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one hunting the Void now was merely a blood-soaked madman wearing a red-and-blue suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He no longer cared about collateral damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He no longer cared whether reality itself collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cared only about killing the Void with everything he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this battle had long ceased being an exchange of blows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had become a one-sided manhunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he fought entirely through mutual destruction—trading punch for punch, life for life—completely abandoning defense in order to beat the Void to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most brutal exchange came when the Void took advantage of an opening, allowing himself to be punched through the abdomen in exchange for severing the attacker’s right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had assumed his regeneration far surpassed the other’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trading injuries should eventually kill his opponent first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the madman simply continued punching with the severed arm as though he hadn’t even noticed his hand had been cut off at the wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This should have been the Void’s opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could have capitalized on the berserk attack and widened the advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blazing arm and fist formed entirely from condensed solar energy slammed directly into the Void’s advancing face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strike was more effective than every previous attack combined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Void staggered, dizzy and horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, every wound on the man’s body radiated brilliant golden sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the glowing arm, the light restored him—making him whole again, even stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly was this thing before him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Void no longer knew\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🎉 Power Stone Goal Announcement! 🎉\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll
