Possessing Low-Level Development Permissions!
The crimson miasma instantly engulfed Jiang Li.
This is not poisonous gas in the chemical sense at all. In Jiang Li's [Causal Foresight] perspective, this red mist is just a series of "Delete" commands flashing across the screen.
The mutated Reality Stone doesn't attack physically; it directly alters the "existence attributes" of Jiang Li's body, attempting to completely erase him from three-dimensional reality.
"Sizzle--!"
The dark golden bio-field on Jiang Li's body began to distort violently. The Doomsday cells sensed an unprecedented crisis and frantically underwent a life-or-death iteration, barely withstanding the first wave of reality tearing apart.
But this is Reality Stone's absolute home turf.
The alloy walls of the control room liquefied like melting candles, transforming into several crimson pythons that lunged at Jiang Li. Gravity was forcibly reversed, and the alloy floor beneath Jiang Li's feet instantly turned into a bottomless Abyss.
Jiang Li hovered above the Abyss, letting the crimson pythons bite into his bio-field. He raised his left arm, his cold eyes showing no sign of panic.
Jiang Li pressed his thumb heavily onto the center of the Omnitrix.
Boom--!
A blinding green light erupted within this crimson, distorted space, instantly overshadowing the Reality Stone's red glow!
There were no roars of raging Beast, no grinding of mechanical gears.
The green light dissipated.
Suspended in mid-air above the main control room was a humanoid entity, entirely black, resembling the deepest night sky of the universe. Countless shimmering white stars adorned its body, and three black horns, like crowns, grew from its head.
There was no expression, no facial features.
The highest level of containment record in the Galvan System, a god-like race at the pinnacle of the Omniverse.
[Alien X]!
The moment Alien X appeared, the distorted space of the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.. underground base suddenly experienced a severe lag.
It was as if an old computer had been suddenly stuffed with an extremely large, unmanageable superdimensional program.
The "overwrite attack" by the Mutated Reality Stone continues.
The crimson miasma transformed into countless sharp blades, frantically slicing through Jiang Li's star-like body. It attempted to turn Jiang Li into glass, into water droplets, into two-dimensional pieces of paper!
However.
All the changes made to reality vanished without a trace the moment they touched Jiang Li's body.
There were no sparks, no explosion.
It's simply "invalid".
"Your modification permissions are limited to the internal framework of this single universe."
Jiang Li didn't open his mouth, but his ethereal, grand voice, which seemed to be composed of countless echoes from the universe, resonated directly in the dimensional depths of the entire underground base.
He slowly raised his star-studded hand, his fingertips pointing at the swirling crimson miasma around him.
"But I broke out of the mold."
"This is called, dimensional reduction and crushing."
Jiang Li's fingertips twitched slightly, as if he were typing on an invisible keyboard.
[Undo (Ctrl+Z)]
Buzz--!
A faint ripple spread from Jiang Li's fingertips.
There was no earth-shattering explosion. But in the instant the ripples swept across, all the "modifications" applied by the Reality Stone were forcibly reversed!
The deadly crimson miasma instantly transformed back into ordinary oxygen.
The floor, which had turned into Abyss, transformed back into a hard alloy.
Even the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who had been forcibly fused into the wall fell to the ground with a few thuds, returning to their original flesh and blood bodies.
Absolute instruction overriding!
That's the domineering nature of Alien X. You use the Reality Stone to alter reality, and I'll use my ultimate cosmic authority to directly "undo" your changes!
In front of the control room, Nick Fury, who had no facial features, turned around. Although he had no eyes, one could still sense that he was in a state of extreme shock.
[This is impossible!!]
On the supercomputer screen in the control room, the string of blood-red gibberish flashed wildly, and for the first time Mutated Reality Stone emitted an electronic scream with emotional fluctuations.
It cannot understand.
In the ERROR-404 universe, it is the absolute creator. Why is this black, starry monster able to wipe out its creations with a single click?!
"What's impossible?"
Jiang Li hovered in mid-air, staring at the flickering screen as if it were a dead man.
Jiang Li extended his right hand and clenched it in the air.
Click!
The entire supercomputer in the control room was instantly crushed into powder by an invisible, immense force.
The instant the computer shattered, an extremely thick, dark red liquid gushed out from the depths of the earth like a fountain!
That's not blood, but liquid Aether —the very essence of the Reality Stone!
It was finally forced to reveal its true form.
Liquid Aether twisted and converged wildly in mid-air, eventually transforming into a faceless monster ten meters tall, entirely composed of crimson swamp. Within the monster's body flickered countless Soul Stone wailing due to error codes.
It knew that rule-based modifications would be ineffective against Jiang Li, so it directly chose the most violent method of physical and energy absorption.
Boom!
The crimson monster opened its Abyss maw, wide enough to devour a building, and with a violent energy that distorted reality, it swallowed Jiang Li whole!
"Getting anxious?"
Faced with an attack powerful enough to wipe out half of New York in an instant, Jiang Li, transformed into Alien X, had no desire to dodge.
He simply hovered there silently, watching that foul-smelling maw swallow him completely.
The crimson monster swallowed Jiang Li whole, its enormous body writhing wildly as it tried to completely digest him using the power of the Reality Stone.
But only one second passed.
"Belch..."
The scarlet monster suddenly emitted an extremely strange muffled sound.
Immediately afterwards.
A blinding white light emanated from its body! It wasn't green light, but the pure white starlight belonging to the vast galaxy within Alien X!
What you swallowed was an entire miniature universe.
Hiss--!
Hundreds and thousands of glowing cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the crimson monster's massive body. The energy of the Reality Stone was like a broken cup trying to hold an ocean in front of Jiang Li's vast and boundless starry sky body.
It was so full it practically burst!
Bang!!!
A muffled explosion.
The ten-meter-tall scarlet monster was instantly blasted into a shower of red raindrops.
At the epicenter of the explosion, Jiang Li hovered unharmed. In his star-studded hand, he tightly gripped a dark red, viscous liquid that was struggling wildly like a living thing.
This is the core essence of the Mutated Reality Stone.
It was still trying to modify the structure of Jiang Li's fingers, but those ridiculous rule codes didn't even make a splash when they hit Alien X.
"This farce should end."
Jiang Li looked at the culprit in his hand that had turned New York into a bizarre tale of rules, and the Omnitrix on his chest lit up with a green light representing "forced reading".
"Since you like to alter reality, now I'll alter you."
