Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 224 Hmm, it's none of my business~
"This is... *cough* dimensional fusion."

In fact, Luca had only asked the question subconsciously because he was overwhelmed by the sudden and magnificent scenery before him.

To his surprise, a weak and feeble reply came from right behind him.

The group turned around in surprise.

But what they saw was the Ghost Rider who had been sealed inside and out by the cup.

At this moment, he was weakly sitting in front of an experimental table, covered in blood, looking at everyone.

However, it's unclear whether it was because Si Bei used the Fire Sealing Seal to extract too much of the opponent's flames.

Or perhaps it was because no one remembered this guy, causing him to take the brunt of the explosion while his power was sealed.

The Ghost Rider, who was just moments before full of energy, now looked utterly miserable, like he was about to die.

Seeing that there seemed to be no more demons trying to force their way through the red and blue rift, Luca was temporarily relieved.

"Um, well, Sibei, go check on his condition."

As he spoke, Luca gave Sibei a slightly embarrassed wink.

Although he hadn't originally planned to let him go for the time being, Ghost Rider was, after all, a fairly positive hero, and Luca really didn't intend to do anything to him.

Who would have thought that so many changes would happen today, and that they would come so suddenly?

This also meant that when the explosion happened, no one even remembered that there was a completely unprotected 'prisoner' present.

Fortunately, Mihoshi himself possesses a considerable amount of medical ninjutsu, making it the perfect time to go and treat the other party's external injuries.

However, to Luca's surprise...

Si Bei quickly teleported to the Ghost Rider's side and conducted a brief examination.

However, after the examination, Si Bei did not perform any medical ninjutsu to treat him.

Instead, he instantly returned to Luca's side and spoke respectfully in a low voice.

"Lord Luca, most of the seals on the other party are still functioning normally. It's just that the energy impact just now interfered with the effects of some of the seals that restrict movement?"

"Based on the current assessment, this person poses no threat. Should I repair or strengthen the seals on his body?"

As soon as Si Bei said this, an eerie silence immediately fell over the already dilapidated laboratory.

Everyone immediately looked at Luca and Sibei, the master and servant, with strange expressions.

Tony stared blankly at the two of them for a long while.

'So, after all that, you just told him to go check it out, and it really was just a matter of seeing how things go?'

Seeing everyone staring at him, Luca, who was already feeling a bit awkward, wished he could disappear into the ground.

'We're supposed to be the good guys!!! Is this how I've always taught you??'

'Definitely! They're definitely all bad habits inherited from Orochimaru!'

My heart was screaming, but I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud.

Luca could only pretend nothing had happened and gave the order to the cup in front of him again.

"Go and heal this Ghost Rider's injuries."

"Yes!"

Seeing Si Bei teleport back, and wanting to change the subject, and also out of genuine curiosity, Luca ignored the two beside him and asked Ghost Rider, who was receiving treatment, "What did you mean by dimensional fusion earlier?"

Upon hearing Luca's question, the Ghost Rider in front of him first re-examined Luca and his companions, then fixed his gaze on the red and blue rift. After a long while, he slowly spoke.

"I've only witnessed so-called dimensional fusion a few times."

Listening to the other party's explanation, Luca and the others roughly understood what dimensional fusion was.

'Dimensional fusion', or 'Dimensional devouring'.

This refers to the phenomenon where two relatively well-developed dimensional spaces come into contact and collide with each other, eventually complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, and merging into a completely new dimension.

However, this so-called 'integration' sounds nice, but in reality, it often means 'devouring'.

A larger dimension, whether actively or unintentionally, collides with a smaller dimension, tears it apart, destroys it, and then absorbs the smaller dimension into its own 'body'.

Extract its essence and strengthen yourself.

Ultimately, this larger dimension can evolve and become more powerful.

The reason why the Ghost Rider in front of him knew about this was because he had personally witnessed several times the scene of the Hell Dimension actively devouring other weaker dimensions.

As countless demon armies fought and plundered in the weaker dimension, the dimensional space itself was being gradually devoured by hell.

Just like Dormammu, the ruler of the Dark Dimension, who has been clamoring to devour the Earth, such things are actually not uncommon in the realm of dimensions.

However, the main universe where Earth is located is relatively special, so even though the Dark Dimension itself is not as large as the main universe, it still tries to 'take a bite' from time to time.

"I am absolutely certain that this red energy represents the Hell Dimension."

"In fact, most cases are when a weaker dimension is discovered by the Lord of Hell, and Hell initiates an invasion and devouring. This is the first time I've seen a passive fusion that occurs from an unintentional collision like this."

"This kind of fusion without a dominant force should usually be a direct contest of the size of the two dimensions, but I'm not sure if the size of the blue dimension is stronger than that of the hell dimension. Moreover, once the dimensional lords of the two sides discover this devouring fusion, it may lead to further confrontation."

That's what Ghost Rider said.

However, Luca interpreted his words in a completely different way.

'I get it, it's a dimensional world war, right?!'

Ghost Rider may not know what the blue energy represents, but how could Luca not know?

Back in the New York Sanctum, Wang had said that the dimensional compression energy released by his [Dehydration Gun] was actually taken from the 'Hex Dimension' that Gu Yi Mao had taken from him.

The current intertwining of energies is nothing more than a sign that a collision has occurred between the Hextech Dimension and the Hell Dimension.

'After that, shouldn't we be seeing the much-anticipated scene of the Ancient One beating up Mephisto?'

Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously appeared on Luca's face.

Although, according to Ghost Rider, this naturally occurring collision is insignificant in the vast dimensional world, and the dimensional lords of both sides may not notice it for a while.

But in his opinion, since the Hextech Dimension is now under the control of the Ancient One, it's not his place to worry about such troublesome matters.

'Besides, that old Gu Yi is as cunning as a monkey; she might have already noticed this collision and was secretly planning to fleece Mephisto.'

However, although Luca felt that the struggle between such important figures had nothing to do with him, he still needed to find a way to deal with the glaring 'crack' in his laboratory.

'Sigh, leaving it here isn't a good solution. Let's try sealing it or moving it.'
