Loki's Fury, the Counterattack Begins

He slowly turned around, his gaze seeming capable of piercing the void and reaching into unknown depths.

Before this, he had tried to warn that arrogant doctor that the depths of the universe concealed secrets that must not be profaned, along with deadly dangers.

Yet in the brief moment he let his guard down, an ordinary man named Lin Du had dealt him an unprecedented blow.

"Lin Du..." Loki murmured the name, his voice laced with tangled emotions—anger and astonishment intertwined.

He lowered his eyes to the Scepter in his palm. Once an emblem of power, it had now lost its luster after the gem embedded within it was taken.

The Scepter's polished surface reflected Loki's twisted figure.

That exceptionally handsome face was now shrouded in gloom and resolve.

"Useless thing." Loki spat disdainfully and casually tossed the Scepter aside.

It struck the cold ground with a dull thud, then fell silent.

He knew perfectly well that although the Scepter was useless now, the two gems—the gems that controlled time and space—

were the true lifelines.

These two gems could not only reshape the heavens and earth and traverse time and space, but were also crucial pieces in his future schemes.

"I have to take them back."

Night quietly draped itself across the sky, the scattered stars like distant eyes peering in secret.

Lin Du leaned against the window, clutching three gems glowing with strange light in his palm—the Mind Stone, the Key of Time, and the Space Sigil.

The three gems seemed to possess souls of their own, faintly stirring in his hand as though tiny heartbeats lay hidden within them.

"Tonight, let me see what miracles you can perform."

Lin Du murmured, unconcealed curiosity and desire flickering in his eyes.

Then he slowly closed his eyes, deeply inhaled the night's chill, and tightly linked his will to the gems.

First, he focused on the Mind Stone's pale yellow glow.

As his spiritual power flowed into it bit by bit, a warm force seeped through his entire body like spring water.

Every cell seemed reborn under the nourishment of that power.

In an instant, his consciousness seemed to be pulled by an invisible force into a vast, empty dimension.

Here, he could sense every fluctuation around him and even glimpse the thoughts and emotions of other living beings.

This unimaginable sense of dominion made him experience an unprecedented power and shock.

"This is more than telepathy. It is a mysterious power that can shake and control the will of others..."

Lin Du opened his eyes and murmured, as if marveling at it while also reflecting on himself.

He felt the urge to test this power, and a casual thought flashed through his mind.

It immediately shot like an electric current into the mind of the kitten curled up beside the table.

The kitten lazily raised its head. The next moment, as though it had received a silent command, it sprang lightly and landed steadily atop the table.

Its gentle eyes were filled with trust and dependence on Lin Du.

"Unbelievable."

A faint smile curved Lin Du's lips as turbulent emotions surged in his heart.

He recalled how two entirely different energies had somehow blended perfectly under his guidance.

Then could the powers of the Time Stone and Space Stone now in his hands

merge with the Mind Stone and give rise to an unprecedented magical technique?

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, immersed his mind, and tried to blend the great powers of time and space into the Mind Stone's radiance.

This was an unprecedented exploration. Nothing he had learned before had ever mentioned a method for wielding all three supreme energies at once.

His mind once again drifted through that sea of void.

Unlike last time, what he sensed now was no longer a single, pure pulse of energy.

Instead, three energies with vastly different properties intertwined, converging into a boundless vortex that was both magnificent and filled with unknown challenges.

He stood at the eye of a chaotic storm, the world around him blurred beyond recognition.

Only the radiant gem energies were exceptionally clear in his mind, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

Lin Du controlled those energies like a dancer seeking balance on a tightrope, never letting his focus waver as every step carried peril.

Though the fire of his spirit continued to burn, consuming every inch of his inner strength,

there was no retreat in his eyes, only a light as unyielding as iron.

Success meant gaining a power beyond imagination.

That power would be enough to shake reality, transcend the shackles of time and space, and even guide the course of the universe's fate.

[Spiritual power has reached its peak. The powers of the Mind Stone and Time Stone are now merging. A new method is about to be born.]

The whisper echoing in his mind brought a smile to Lin Du's lips.

It seemed the fusion of a new move had quietly begun.

But what earth-shattering skill would emerge from the intertwining of mental control and command over time?

Curiosity grew wildly in Lin Du's heart like weeds.

In an instant, time seemed to freeze within the abyss of Lin Du's thoughts.

The energies of the Mind Stone and Time Stone began to slowly entwine, weaving an unknown pattern.

He felt as though he were floating in a boundless river of time, its waters surging as they carried him through the past and future.

He struggled to focus his consciousness, trying to find a trace of calm and control within that raging power.

As his awareness delved deeper, Lin Du gradually felt that he could swim freely through the torrent.

He could peer into sealed memories of the past and preview the hazy outlines of the future.

And at that critical moment, an entirely new force entered his world of perception—the surging energy of the Space Stone.

Like a sudden storm, it swept through the river of time that had been gradually calming.

It raised monstrous waves, plunging everything once again into chaos and uncertainty.

Lin Du felt as if his consciousness had been swept up by a massive wave, endlessly tumbling and leaping through the void.

It was as though space itself were performing an irregular dance.

The two utterly different energies clashed fiercely within him, then slowly began to merge, pushing his spiritual power to the brink of collapse.

The feeling was like a string stretched to its absolute limit, ready to snap at any moment.

Just as Lin Du thought he was about to suffer a mental breakdown and could no longer hold on,

a warm current quietly rose from the depths of his heart, gently wrapping around his consciousness.

Like a ray of winter sunlight, it was warm yet steadfast.

It was the fire of will from the depths of his heart—his endless thirst for power and tireless pursuit of it, the roar of his unyielding soul.

That immense willpower seemed to become a catalyst.

It allowed the two conflicting energies to gradually find balance, and the fusion became peaceful and smooth.

Lin Du suddenly felt as though he had become the master of the universe, a weaver of time and space. Whether it was the dust of the past,

the fleeting moments of the present, or the mist of the future, all danced lightly at his fingertips.

Even the structure of space twisted and changed at will beneath his thoughts.

At last, the two energies completely merged, giving birth to an unprecedented new energy.
