Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 304 Hextech and Dimensional Demons
"Setting their sights on the Hextech Dimension? Uh... and then what?"

When Gu Yi delivered the second piece of bad news, Luca didn't react much; he just stared at her blankly.

"Isn't Mephisto still tied up by you, sir?"

"Besides, how much Hextech energy did I use? Didn't you mages use the lion's share? Shouldn't it be that whoever benefits should be responsible?"

"Even if something really goes wrong in the Hextech Dimension, with my weak arms and legs, I can't stop a villain like Mephisto!"

In Luca's view, the fact that Hell sent a large number of demons to invade Earth almost caused him to lose his way.

If Mephisto really sets his sights on the Hextech Dimension, and the Ancient One isn't planning to help protect him, what other choice does he have but to hand it over?

At most, he can just survive and wait until he gains even stronger abilities before settling scores with Mephisto.

In short, it’s just one sentence.

"Can't control it, can't afford to offend it, what are you saying, boss?"
However, seeing Luca's attitude, the Ancient One didn't seem too surprised. She just smiled faintly and continued speaking.

"You may not realize it yet, but that Hextech Dimension itself has some inevitable connection with you. If you want, you can become a brand new dimensional demon god at any time."

Upon hearing Gu Yi's words, Luca showed a hint of surprise.

It wasn't because of the 'connection' and 'dimensional master' mentioned by the Ancient One, but rather because of...
"at any time?"

"That's right! But it's a bit complicated to explain, you should experience it for yourself~"

As she spoke, the Ancient One slapped Luca in the chest with her backhand.

In that instant, Luca felt dizzy and his soul seemed to have left his body.

The scenery suddenly became magical and magnificent, as if we were traveling through a colorful kaleidoscope.

However, this feeling did not last long. In an instant, the changes around them suddenly stopped, and all the dreamlike colors converged into blue.

A gentle yet dazzling endless blue.

At this moment, Luca felt as if he were in the deep blue expanse of space.

"Is this Hextech Dimension?"

Looking down at his translucent palm, he saw a stream of light, somewhat like Hextech particles, flowing through it.

Most importantly, Luca could clearly feel that a large portion of the flowing blue energy had directly merged into his body.

The improvement this environment brings him is hundreds or even thousands of times greater than the high-concentration particle space created by the solar furnace.

"That's right, this is the Hextech Dimension."

The words of the Ancient One echoed in Luca's mind, but when Luca looked around, he could not find the Ancient One's figure, and even the 'Thought Entity' did not follow.

"Yes, the Ancient One mentioned before that the spiritual clone could only be maintained by the Kamar-Taj array, so it seems it can't stray too far from Kamar-Taj."

This seems to suggest that while the Ancient One did indeed hold off Mephisto and Dormammu single-handedly, it may not have been as easy as it appeared.

Of course, from another perspective, the fact that a single spiritual clone, which cannot leave its original location, can accomplish these things is indeed worthy of the title of the Supreme Master.

However, what the Ancient One said next terrified Luca.

"Although entering the Hextech Dimension in this state will reduce your fusion efficiency, I still suggest that you restrain your urge to absorb this energy."

"Hmm~ Unless you want to give up your self right now and completely merge with this dimension, never to escape again." As soon as the Ancient One said this, Luca immediately shuddered.

He hurriedly waved his hands and feet wildly, trying to get away from the Hextech energy.

However, in the Hextech Dimension, this energy is omnipresent.

Fortunately, due to mental resistance, the speed at which this energy integrates into the body is quickly suppressed to a very low level, and it does not increase a thousandfold as before.

Seeing that he had managed to barely stop the energy from merging into his body, Luca asked with lingering fear.

"This Hextech energy is poisonous?!"

Although Luca's use of "poisonous" was merely a casual complaint, the thought that it would cause him to lose himself and be forever trapped here truly made it a deadly poison for him.

Seeing this, Gu Yi smiled and explained.

"This is the price of becoming a dimensional demon. Take Dormammu for example, it's hard to say whether he is truly the original Dormammu or a collection of the will of the dark dimension."

"And what I usually do?"

Considering that he had even created a solar furnace driver specifically for soaking Hextech particles, Luca seriously suspected that he had unintentionally committed another grave mistake.

"Don't worry, limited integration has no side effects, and there's nothing wrong with your approach."

"If you throw a person into the ocean and make them drink water all the time, they might die from overeating or drowning, but drinking water normally every day will make a person healthier."

Ultimately, this is because Luca himself is too weak.

Due to his special connection with the Hextech Dimension, Hextech energy is drawn to him and tries to merge with him.

It can be said that, compared to Dormammu, who had to painstakingly plot against the Dark Dimension, Luca has already skipped that step.

However, the same thing is that merging the energy of this entire dimension in an instant will only cause Luca's consciousness to be washed away and erased, turning him into an existence called 'Hex Lord' but actually a 'Dimensional Puppet'.

Only through continuous, low-dose integration can he slowly improve his overall qualities while absorbing Hextech energy.

When this improvement continues until Luca can fully accept the entire Hextech Dimension, then even if he merges with the energy of the entire Hextech Dimension, this dimension will only become his own appendage and will not bring any negative effects.

In other words, if Luca is strong enough right now, given his connection with the Hextech Dimension...

It is entirely possible to 'grab it in one go and refine it in an instant'.

After understanding all this, Luca's worries subsided considerably, and he even began to secretly look forward to that day.

However, the Ancient One interrupted Luca's reverie once again.

"Alright, I didn't bring you here for these reasons."

"Let's go, I'll show you what a dimensional fusion war is all about."

As he spoke, Luca felt his spiritual body immediately begin to move forward at great speed.

Well, actually he himself couldn't tell whether he was moving forward or the surrounding space was rapidly receding.

Those blue streaks of light were left behind him in an instant. If he had to put it in perspective, Luca even felt as if he had entered the Speed ​​Force.

only.
"Huh? There are actually galaxies in this dimensional space?"
