Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 156 Gu Yi: It was really enjoyable (Fifth update)
Beyond the world's barriers.

Between countless parallel worlds and the gaps of latitudes.

Before a rift leading to Earth.

Look inside, and you'll find a vibrant and bustling world.

Looking outwards, however, one sees only endless danger and darkness.

At this moment, a huge and ferocious giant head is roaring menacingly at the crack in the world barrier in front of it.

"Gu Yi! You bastard! Come out here if you dare!!"

A terrifying roar shook the surrounding space, and boundless darkness surged toward the rift in the world before them like a tidal wave.

However, both the terrifying sound waves and the seemingly dangerous dark aura vanished completely the moment they reached the rift in the world, as if a spring breeze had melted away.

Well, saying it has completely disappeared doesn't seem quite accurate.

Because at this moment, inside the rift in the world, a tiny figure with golden hair and a red robe is slowly floating in front of this boundless black mist.

Before him was an exquisite magic array in gold and green.

The deep black energy that had been dispersed and dissolved was completely absorbed by this inconspicuous magic array at an extremely fast speed.

"Hiccup~"

As the darkness before her eyes completely vanished, the Ancient One, having put away the magic circle, even gave a symbolic burp, quite 'politely'.

However, her burp only enraged the black head in front of her, which was larger than a star, several times over.

"You've burped over a dozen times already! How come you haven't eaten yourself to death, you old bastard?!"

Perhaps noticing the angry expression on the black human's face, the Ancient One realized that her acting might have been a bit over the top.

She immediately put her clever little brain to work, quickly covering her chest and pretending to be weak.

"Oh dear, I almost couldn't hold on any longer~ Dormammu, give it your all~ I'm about to collapse~"

As she spoke, Gu Yi lightly patted her chest and immediately coughed up a packet of ketchup.
Yeah. The kind where the whole package is still unopened.
As an elderly woman who cherishes her health and practices proper care, it's highly unlikely that she would actually cough up blood just for Dormammu.

However, this unopened ketchup does look a bit perfunctory.

The Ancient One herself wasn't embarrassed at all. She casually opened another golden portal and quietly placed the leftover ketchup from McDonald's into the kitchen of Kamar-Taj.

Seeing her acting skills fail miserably, Gu Yi's expression changed instantly, becoming extremely serious and sacred.

"Dormammu! As long as I live, I will never allow you to harm the Earth!"

At this moment, the Ancient One's figure was extremely majestic, and it seemed as if ten thousand rays of light burst forth from his body.

However, Dormammu, on the other hand, watched as the Ancient One's radiant light, which hadn't even broken through the rift in the world, drew an arc in the air and came behind the Ancient One, only to be taken back by her. At that moment, he felt his mind buzzing incessantly.

How can someone be so stingy?!

'Both unleashed their power! You absorbed all of mine! But you reclaimed all of yours?!'

Looking at Dormammu, who had been fighting against him since the beginning, and hadn't even stepped out of the world barrier, relying entirely on the power of the three holy sites to fight him, Dormammu, who was somewhat on the verge of collapse, finally came to terms with reality.

He immediately turned away in anger.

"Ancient One! I'll see how long it takes you to repair these cracks! You wait! I'll be back!"

After he finished speaking, the boundless darkness around them began to recede completely.

Only the Ancient One remained behind the rift in the world, unleashing countless golden chains to gather back all the remaining dark energy.

And that sound she made.

"Come visit often!"

However, after doing all this, the Ancient One did not turn and leave like Dormammu.

Instead, he clasped his hands together again, instantly connecting the three holy sites through a linked formation.

An enormous golden magic circle rose up once more, completely covering the entire spatial rift.

The next moment. *Thump*

A tremendous crash resounded, as if it were spreading from the void.

A faint, black-and-red aura suddenly struck the corner of the enormous magic array that was originally so huge that it could completely cover the spatial rift.

Despite its faint aura being less than one ten-thousandth the size of the entire magic array, this collision caused the entire array to tremble violently.

"Come forth, Mephisto!"

The Ancient One, standing behind the magic circle, looked much more serious than when she had teased Dormammu.

The black and red aura that suddenly appeared and collided with the magic circle also floated over quickly after hearing Gu Yi's words, gradually condensing into the appearance of a very charming, long-haired handsome uncle.

"Gu Yi! This isn't what we agreed on!"

The moment it took shape, Mephisto angrily took a step forward.

However, it was precisely at this step, upon touching the golden magic circle, that Mephisto immediately began to emit sizzling blue smoke.

He was forced to retreat again.

But the Ancient One, who was facing Mephisto across the magic circle, did not relax at all. Instead, she tilted her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"What agreement? You must be mistaken. How could I, the Sorcerer Supreme, possibly make a deal with a demon lord like you?"

Hearing the Ancient One's shameless words, Mephisto was so angry that he immediately abandoned all pretense of decency and started cursing at the Ancient One.

"What a load of bull! I'm a demon, but I'm more trustworthy than you! I have more of a sense of contract than you, you bastard!"

"It was a promise"

Just as Mephisto was about to continue speaking, the golden magic circle in front of him suddenly expanded several times.

At this moment, the Ancient One, who was behind the magic circle, also spoke in a sinister tone.

"Your wish won't come true if you tell it out loud~"

Upon hearing this, even Mephisto was stunned for a moment, his mind racing for a while before he realized that the Ancient One was still playing a trick on him.

He was so angry that he lost all his senses.

The black and red flames around him surged instantly, transforming in the blink of an eye into a gigantic red demon tens of thousands of meters tall, roaring angrily at the Ancient One.

"Ancient One! Do you think I'm that idiot Dormammu?! Today, it's either you or me here!"

As he spoke, Mephisto extended his sharp demonic claws and grabbed at the golden magic circle in front of him.

In an instant, it twisted and deformed the huge golden magic circle.

However, at this moment, the Ancient One behind the magic circle smiled slightly.

As his hands moved, the original golden magic circle suddenly began to change.

A pale blue, dazzling light spread rapidly from the Ancient One's center throughout the entire magic circle.

In the blink of an eye, the golden magic circle was completely replaced by blue.

Even the intricate runes on the magic array have changed.

Under Mephisto's horrified gaze, a terrifying torrent of energy surged forth from the center of the original defensive array, completely engulfing him in an instant.

Subsequently.

"boom----"

Brilliant blue fireworks exploded in this void.

In the void, Mephisto only vaguely heard that the Ancient One, that bastard, seemed to say something.

“So cool~”
