One-Handed, He Held a Child and Suppressed a Dimension!

177A Bleecker Street, New York.

The gates of the New York Sanctum were tightly shut, and a faint, purplish-red spatial distortion permeated the surrounding air. Ordinary people passing by would only feel dizzy and instinctively avoid it.

"It seems the situation is a bit worse than Tony said."

Jiang Li, dressed in casual clothes, carried Jiang Nian, who was wearing pink overalls, in his left arm and held Gwen's hand with his right hand, and strolled leisurely up the steps of the Sanctum.

He didn't even knock; he simply kicked open the wooden door engraved with magical runes.

"Boom!"

The instant the door opened.

An extremely violent interdimensional hurricane roared out from inside the Sanctum, accompanied by deafening monster howls.

In the center of the hall.

Doctor Strange and the Sorcerer Supreme, Wong, were hovering in mid-air. Their hands were frantically forming hand seals, pushing the golden Rings of Raggadorr to its limit.

In the air right in front of them, a huge purple star-shaped rift was clearly visible!

Several enormous, dark red tentacles, covered in barbs and as thick as water tanks, were desperately trying to push their way out of the crack, attempting to completely tear apart the universe's defenses.

Multiverse monster, the Gargantos (or perhaps a giant extradimensional octopus).

"Hold on, Your Majesty! Its dimensional mass is too great, the Sanctum's barrier is about to collapse!" Doctor Strange was covered in sweat, his Cloak of Levitation billowing wildly in the gale.

"I'm already exhausting my magic! Stephen, what on earth did you mess with in the Multiverse?!" Wang roared through gritted teeth.

Just as the two mages were fighting desperately...

Wow! A giant octopus!

A clear, excited little girl's voice rang out at the entrance to the hall, where the wind was raging.

Doctor Strange managed to spare a glance, and was immediately terrified.

Jiang Li, carrying a one-and-a-half-year-old girl in one arm and Gwen with him, strolled into the Sanctum hall, which was on the verge of an energy explosion, without even activating a magic shield.

"Jiang Li?! Get your wife and children out of here! This isn't an ordinary monster, it's a cross-dimensional spatial tear!"

Jiang Li stopped and looked at the several extremely arrogant dark red tentacles in mid-air, then chuckled softly.

"Stephen, it's been years, and your magical firewall is still as useless as ever."

In Jiang Li's arms, Jiang Nian looked at the waving tentacles with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Dad! I want grilled octopus legs!"

The little girl waved her delicate white hands, and even excitedly shot a thin, hot red Heat Vision from her eyes, which "sizzled" and precisely burned one of the tentacles.

"Roar--!!!"

The Gargantos on the other side of the rift let out an extremely shrill scream. Although its Heat Vision was very weak, the high temperature of the Krypton energy burned through its proud extradimensional skin.

Doctor Strange and the King were both stunned. A baby just over a year old had burned a dimensional lord with lasers shot from its eyes?

Enraged, the monster abruptly turned two of its enormous tentacles around and slammed them down with tremendous force towards Jiang Li and his daughter at the gate!

"Watch out!" Doctor Strange exclaimed.

Jiang Li calm. He didn't put his daughter down, and he didn't even bother to transform.

He simply raised his free right hand slowly, his thumb resting casually on the [Omnitrix] on his left wrist.

"Access control takeover."

Buzz--!

With a soft whisper from Jiang Li, the core of the Omnitrix burst forth with an extremely deep green data stream.

This is the "Omniverse Root Node Key" that Azmuth bestowed upon him.

A stream of green data instantly swept across the entire hall. The previously raging extradimensional hurricane seemed to have been paused, freezing instantly!

The two enormous tentacles that were about to strike Jiang Li stopped abruptly in mid-air, less than an inch from Jiang Li forehead, unable to advance any further.

"Go back."

Jiang Li raised his right hand, palm facing the purple spatial rift, and clenched his fist in the air.

Click!

A powerful, cosmic pressure, where words become law, suddenly descended.

"Hiss--!"

The Gargantos on the other side of the spatial rift let out a terrified howl. It felt an invisible hand, powerful enough to crush galaxies, grab its tentacles.

Jiang Li suddenly pulled his right hand outward, then pushed it inward!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Gargantos's thick tentacles were snapped off, and the purple spatial rift was forcibly closed by Jiang Li with pure high-dimensional administrator privileges, like zipping up a zipper—extremely brutal and rapid!

"Pop."

A soft sound.

The purple cracks completely disappeared. The hall returned to calm, leaving only a few pieces of dark red, broken tentacles still twitching on the ground.

The entire room fell silent.

Doctor Strange and Wong remained in their spellcasting postures, the golden magic rings still spinning in their hands, but their eyes were completely glazed over.

"Done."

Jiang Li lowered his right hand and patted the back of Jiang Nian in his arms.

"I'm sorry, Niannian, this octopus looks too ugly and has extradimensional bacteria, so we can't eat it. Daddy will take you to eat Australian lobster tonight."

"Yay! Let's eat lobster!" Jiang Nian Jiang Li a big kiss on the cheek.

Gwen stepped forward, kicked a tentacle on the ground, and only after confirming it was dead did she look up at the two mages still standing there in mid-air, stunned.

"Gentlemen monks, aren't you going to come down and invite us for a cup of tea?"

Doctor Strange then snapped out of his daze, quickly withdrew his magic, and landed back on the ground with the King.

He straightened his disheveled mage robes, looked at Jiang Li and the green watch face on his wrist with an extremely complicated expression, as if he were looking at an unreasonable monster.

"Jiang Li... what you just used wasn't magic at all."

Doctor Strange took a deep breath. "That's the power to directly alter the dimensions of the universe. You... what level of existence are you now?"

"Don't be so nervous."

Jiang Li carried his daughter to the sofa and sat down, then very naturally handed his daughter a piece of the other-dimensional crystal core that the Gargantos had dropped earlier, to play with as a toy.

Jiang Li leaned back on the sofa and raised an eyebrow.

"Tell me, Stephen. I had already locked down the Main Universe, so what happened to this rift?"

Doctor Strange and Wong exchanged a glance and sighed.

"It wasn't my fault."

With a wave of his hand, Doctor Strange projected an ancient book phantom radiating an evil red light into the air.

"It's Wanda (Scarlet Witch)."

"After fully awakening her Chaos Magic, she obtained the <Darkhold>. In order to find the 'two children' that exist in other parallel universes, she is recklessly using Dreamwalking to forcibly cross dimensions."

Doctor Strange's expression was grave. "This brute force has made the boundaries of the Multiverse extremely fragile. That Gargantos just now crawled in through the crack Wanda tore open."

Wanda?

Gwen frowned slightly upon hearing the name. She was a mother herself and could understand the pain of losing a child, but to destroy the entire Multiverse for the sake of one's child was clearly going mad.

"Where is she now?" Jiang Li asked.

"She locked herself in an ancient temple in the Wundagore Mountain. It's the source of dark magic, and the king and I couldn't get in at all."

Doctor Strange looked at Jiang Li, his tone somewhat helpless.

"I originally planned to look for variants of other universes to help. But since you're here, I don't think I need to."

"I see."

Jiang Li stood up and handed her daughter to Gwen.

"Gwen, take Nian Nian to Tony Stark's place for some dessert."

Jiang Li turned the Omnitrix on her left wrist.

I'm going to Wundagore Mountain.
