Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 128? The world is going to end? (Third update)

"Dimensional wormhole?"

Upon suddenly hearing a completely new term, Luca naturally chose to ask without hesitation.

Gu Yi didn't hide anything and explained directly.

"That's right, a dimensional wormhole."

"Well, with your intelligence, you can think of this as a gateway from another world to Earth."

"In other words, this is a completely new, unclaimed dimensional passage. Otherwise, something dangerous might have escaped from inside!"

Hearing the Ancient One bring up intelligence, Luca felt a surge of irritation.

Clearly, his fabricated identity as a genius inventor was not working in front of this big shot.

However, Luca also noticed another problem from the Ancient One's words.

“Ancient One, since you are so concerned about these interdimensional portals, and you rushed to the scene immediately for a harmless unclaimed dimensional wormhole, why are you indifferent to this major event in New York and the portals opening all over the world?”

Luca wasn't suggesting that he should question the Ancient One because of the casualties in New York. This Sorcerer Supreme, who had served for hundreds of years, had protected the Earth countless times.

I was just curious, after all, in terms of the degree of harm, the invasion of otherworldly creatures is indeed not a trivial matter.

But after hearing Luca's words, the Ancient One still gave him that disrespectful look, as if he were an idiot.

"You need to understand one thing: spatial portals, interdimensional invasions, and dimensional invasions are not the same thing."

"And what do you think I've been busy with lately?!"

"Do you even realize that sometimes the trouble you superheroes cause is far more dangerous than that idiot Dormammu's?"

"I'm already so busy, and you still have to create a dimensional wormhole at this time? I think this broken Earth will be riddled with holes by you sooner or later!"

The more she talked, the angrier she seemed to get, and even her 'body' began to show afterimage-like 'frame-skipping animation'.

Luca then realized that the Ancient One in front of him did not seem to be the real Ancient One, but rather some kind of highly advanced projection clone.

Luca even wanted to reach out and touch it, wondering how this projected clone could sit on a chair.

Yes, but he didn't dare.

At this point, all he could do was say it in a slightly awkward whisper.

"Well, actually, I'm not with Stark and the others, so I wouldn't call myself a superhero."

However, as soon as he said that, Gu Yi pointed at him with a disgruntled expression.

The monitor next to him immediately lit up, playing the latest news about the Second Battle of New York.

During the news broadcast, a beautiful female anchor was speaking eloquently.

"In this incident, our superheroes once again successfully repelled all the aliens invading Earth and protected our home. Moreover, we can see that compared to the last Battle of New York, more new faces have joined the great cause of protecting humanity."

As he spoke, the screen displayed the scene from the giant projection 'play' over New York, where the husky mech was beating Loki.

Even more than that.

Scenes flashed by, including a husky mech battling an ice giant, a boxer clearing out dark elves, and even a ghost spider saving citizens.

I don't know what's wrong with these Americans' thinking. During the most intense part of the battle, some people weren't focused on escaping, but instead took out their phones to record the events.

Not only was the footage extremely clear, but it also fell into the hands of the media so quickly.

Faced with the Ancient One's straightforward evidence, Luca could only manage an awkward smile once again.

"So, Ancient One, you've been busy stopping the invasion of parallel universes all this time? That's really something." Luca had originally wanted to offer a few words of flattery.

However, before he could finish the first half of his sentence, the Ancient One in front of him shook her head.

"There's no way to stop it!"

At this point, the Ancient One's expression seemed to become more serious.

"The barriers between the world are becoming thinner."

"Loki's actions are like opening two huge holes in this already collapsing glass dome, which is now riddled with cracks and impossible to repair completely."

"All I can do is temporarily seal these cracks with more glue, but even that would require all the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj to work together to barely manage it."

"Right now, we've patched up the leaks on the east side, but the west side is still leaking. This will be a never-ending task."

Upon hearing the Ancient One's seemingly indifferent tone, Luca's pupils immediately contracted, and he asked in disbelief.

"Is the world going to be destroyed?"

"Huh? Who said that?"

Gu Yi looked at Luca with a 'don't talk nonsense,' which left Luca somewhat confused.

"That wasn't what you said just now."

"What I said? It's just that the world's barriers have become more fragile. The world isn't so easily destroyed."

Luca breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Stark is currently enjoying great success, and he plans to invest another billion dollars in his new company.

If the world were to end before we could spend all this money, that would be such a waste.

However.
"The world barrier has become weaker. At most, there will be more interdimensional invaders and dimensional demons will come more frequently. Well, those demons from the Hell Dimension might occasionally come out. It's not as scary as you say. World destruction? If there's going to be destruction, it'll have to wait until this old man retires and Stellan takes over!"

'These are already terrifying enough, okay?!'

Luca roared inwardly.

However, due to the disparity in strength between himself and the big boss, he ultimately didn't dare to say any more nonsense.

When Gu Yi saw Luca clenching his teeth and remaining silent, she immediately felt a little bored.

'These kids these days are so easily teased!'

"Don't worry, it's still being repaired."

"Furthermore, with your unclaimed dimension, the subsequent patching and repair process will be smoother. Yes, faster!"

'You mean it's easier, huh?! Hey! I heard you!'

Judging from the Ancient One's very casual attitude, it's clear that the old lady really doesn't take things like interdimensional invasions, dimensional demons, and demon attacks too seriously.

He immediately pushed the [Hex Core] on the table toward her with a somewhat listless expression and said weakly.

"Since you can use it, you should take it away quickly. Leaving it here might cause some kind of world-ending crisis."

Hearing Luca say that, the Ancient One, who was just a projection, directly reached out and picked up the [Hex Core] that was emitting a blue light.

After examining it for a few moments, he put it back on the table and spoke casually.

"We agreed to make a trade, but I used up the items I prepared for the trade. I wonder if you're satisfied with this?"
