Boom!
The sound of the explosion was actually just Hayato's imagination.
In reality,
the explosion caused by Dormammu's self-destruction was peculiar. Its complete silence was only one aspect of it.
At first,
the flames and shockwave were no different from an ordinary explosion. But after spreading to a certain range, they stopped and collapsed inward. Once the firelight had fully converged, all that remained was a bottomless black hole.
Ripples like waves on water spread outward.
They looked gentle and harmless, no different from ordinary ripples on water. But when they struck Ancient One's defensive shield—
chaotic, violent energy abruptly erupted.
Ancient One spat out blood again.
The defensive shield did its job.
The moment the energy ran rampant, time magic slowed its flow, as though the violent energy had been dropped into thick glue. The scene was slowed to one-sixteenth-hundredth speed.
Spatial magic formed countless dimensional rifts, sending the energy into the void of outer space.
And Hayato seized the gap between the ripples and swung a blade at the center of the explosion.
Slash!
The long blade formed from chaotic energy cut through the ripples and struck the black hole.
An invisible force blocked the blade.

No, time had frozen. Hayato's blade had broken through the barrier of time...
After countless slashes, the final one swept through the explosion's black hole as
