High above the ground, inside a massive aircraft carrier, Nick Fury gazed intently at the images coming in from surveillance satellites.
Coulson stood beside him, reporting what they knew about the White House's disappearance:
"White-Haired Demon first killed hundreds of protesters, then dozens of soldiers. During his battle with the X-Men, he killed tens of thousands of civilians, and finally destroyed the White House."
"White-Haired Demon is absolutely not fit to become an Avenger. Cancel every plan involving him. He doesn't recognize any laws and does whatever he wants. He's the greatest threat to Earth right now!" After hearing Coulson's report, Nick Fury came to this conclusion.
Coulson knew that, of course, but S.H.I.E.L.D. had no way to deal with White-Haired Demon!
Nick Fury was just about to take out the pager he carried and call Captain Marvel when Coulson suddenly said:
"Aren't the legendary Eternals still protecting humanity on Earth? If this had happened before, perhaps they wouldn't have intervened, but White-Haired Demon has just slaughtered tens of thousands. The Eternals, who've made protecting humanity their mission, won't stand by. We can use them to deal with him!"
The existence of the Eternals had long been documented in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files. Nick Fury was just as wary of these superhumans, who possessed tremendous powers.
He didn't believe the Eternals were simply protecting humanity. They had to be hiding some other secret!
But if the Eternals clashed with White-Haired Demon, it could only benefit them!
Nick Fury gave Coulson an approving look and said:
"Find a way to tell the Eternals what White-Haired Demon has done. Get their attention and provoke them into attacking him!"
At the same time, in another office aboard the Helicarrier, Alexander Pierce stared fixedly at the fearsome demon wreaking havoc on the screen, his eyes alight with excitement. He saw an opportunity: Hydra and the reckless White-Haired Demon were a perfect match!
He secretly sent a message, hoping to make contact with White-Haired Demon and recruit him!
After erasing the White House from history and wiping it off the map, Su Mu moved into Tony Stark's luxurious seaside apartment and kept practicing his skills.
After making such a huge commotion, he had surely ruined his relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. He would never learn the Space Stone's exact location now, which meant he couldn't seize it by force for the time being.
All he could do was wait for Loki to deliver it!
Tony had gone to study under the Sorcerer Supreme and wasn't expected back anytime soon, leaving the seaside villa empty. So Su Mu had moved in.
He hadn't been idle during this time. While constantly absorbing energy from the Arc Reactor, he practiced the Limitless Technique and tried to master the portal spell.
He clearly wasn't as gifted as Doctor Strange in the field of magic. Even with the Six Eyes and Energy Absorption enhancing his abilities, he still couldn't master portals. But he could now conjure sparks, so he was surely close.
As for the Limitless Technique, he focused on practicing it because he'd discovered that a more advanced version might let him control space and even create a pocket dimension he could carry with him.
Su Mu needed to carry ten Arc Reactors in his backpack, so a pocket dimension would be very useful.
Not only would it be convenient, but carrying a backpack around in battle was seriously uncool. As a handsome and elegant White-Haired Demon, it ruined his whole look!
Not elegant. Not elegant at all!
The Limitless Technique unfolded again and again, keeping five Arc Reactors slowly circling Su Mu as the system continuously chimed:
[Energy Points +1] [Energy Points +1] [Energy Points +1] [Limitless Technique EXP +1] [Limitless Technique EXP +1] [Limitless Technique EXP +1]
At last, after endless practice, the system chimed with something different:
[Limitless Technique EXP +1] [Congratulations! Your skill, Limitless Technique, has leveled up!] [Limitless Technique Lv. 4 (3/5000): Interferes with matter at the atomic level and governs space. The closer objects get to the user, the slower they move, until they can never touch the user. Grants partial control over space!]
A flood of memories filled his mind. With the Six Eyes enhancing him, Su Mu absorbed them, processing every last one while using Reverse Cursed Technique to repair the damage to his brain from overexertion.
A moment later, Su Mu finished absorbing the memories and immediately noticed what had changed in the Limitless Technique!
The system's description of the Limitless Technique had changed. It now included the ability to partially control space.
As for the skill's effects:
First, the Limitless Technique's range had increased from fifty centimeters to about five meters—ten times its original range!
Next, his control over space with the Limitless Technique had become more absolute. Within those five meters, in addition to its original abilities, Su Mu could make space change in all sorts of ways!
These included teleportation, creating space, Spatial Slash, folding space, and more...
His Limitless Technique had now surpassed Gojo Satoru's and reached an entirely new level!
After absorbing the memories the system had sent him, Su Mu immediately used the Limitless Technique to create a pocket dimension and put the ten Arc Reactors inside.
Since he had created this pocket dimension himself, he could absorb energy from the Arc Reactors inside it across the dimensional boundary!
He had also gained something else. Perhaps because the Limitless Technique had leveled up, his understanding of space had deepened. The parts of portal magic that had once been obscure to him were now crystal clear. He felt that he had mastered portals!
Without hesitation, Su Mu put on the Suspension Ring and traced a circle with his finger. Sparks flew as a stable portal slowly formed in front of him!
At the same time, a new skill appeared on the System Panel!
[Portal Lv. 1 (1/100): Consume magic power to open a portal to any place you've visited before. Energy can be used in place of magic power!]
Now that he had mastered portals, the system had finally registered the skill. He could level it up and keep raising its limits!
At Lv. 1, he could travel to any place he'd visited before!
At Lv. 2, he could do away with the Suspension Ring and open portals through his own power, without relying on any external object!
At Lv. 3, he could travel to any location in the dimension or universe he was currently in!
At Lv. 4, he could travel to other dimensions and leap between them!
Once the portal skill reached Lv. 5 or higher, he'd eventually be able to cross the barriers between worlds and travel to other worlds. Su Mu could hardly wait!
Trade punches with Superman, clash energy blasts with Sun Wukong, tell Homelander, "You're the real hero," and open the Limitless Technique right in front of Gojo Satoru...
All sorts of amazing worlds were waiting for him!
Just then, the Six Eyes picked up on something. Several agents in black were rushing toward the seaside villa!
An even more delighted smile spread across Su Mu's face. More fun was on the way!
