Creation God? No, That's My Teacher

"Is this... a creation god?"

"No, he's my teacher."

Natasha's proud voice rang beside Clea's ear. "He's also the sect master of our Ethereal Ascension Sect."

"Your teacher... the sect master of the Ethereal Ascension Sect..."

Clea stiffly turned her head, looking adorably dazed as she muttered the words over and over.

Only after repeating them several times did the blankness fade from her face, and her mind finally caught up.

"The sect master of the Ethereal Ascension Sect!" Clea's voice cracked.

"That cultivation powerhouse who's even stronger than the Sorcerer Supreme!?"

Natasha's face was full of pride. "That's right. And Ancient One is just his little sidekick."

"Little sidekick!?" Clea let out another pig-like squeal and looked questioningly at Mordo and Kaecilius behind Natasha.

"Uh... that's more or less how it is." Mordo scratched his head, not knowing what else to say.

But Kaecilius beside him decided to salvage Ancient One's image and picked up where Mordo left off.

"Actually, calling her a little sidekick isn't quite accurate. It would be more accurate to call her the sect's vice sect master."

"Vice sect master..."

Clea was somewhat dazed, but recalling the rumors she had heard throughout the universe, she still unwillingly asked.

"Is your sect master really not a creation god? Like Eternity, one of the Five Creation Gods?"

"After all, Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One is Eternity's devoted believer. Quite a few people know that."

"Probably not." Even Natasha was a little unsure. No one dared ask about Feng Xu's origins.

"Anyway, Teacher is incredibly powerful. That's for sure. He's definitely stronger than that Eternity guy!"

Clea: "..."

Did she even hear herself? That was the strongest creation god in the multiverse!

Suppressing the urge to complain, Clea then belatedly realized that the three of them had not been harmed in the slightest. They had not even been affected by that world-ending aura and could walk freely on the ground.

"You're actually fine! I clearly saw Dormammu just now..."

Clea's voice grew quieter and quieter.

Thinking of that phantom that had nearly destroyed Dormammu with a single word, it was only natural that they were unharmed.

"It was the Immortal Artifact Jade Pendant Teacher gave us that saved us." In response to Clea's question, Natasha raised the jade pendant around her neck, which emitted a gentle glow.

At the same time, she reached out and helped Clea to her feet, causing the terrifying pressure weighing on her to dissipate.

"Just a tiny jade pendant! Your teacher didn't even come in person?"

Natasha's words horrified Clea once again.

Merely crafting a magical artifact had been enough to easily defeat Dormammu, whose reputation resounded across countless universes!

With that kind of power, she would have believed it even if someone said he surpassed the creation gods!

"He didn't come." Natasha shook her head and pointed at Dormammu's head in the sky. "If Teacher had come personally, Dormammu would be dead by now."

Following the direction of Natasha's finger, Clea looked over.

At that moment, Dormammu was struggling to gather his remaining power, barely managing to open a portal to the Dark Dimension.

"Holy shit! I was so busy being shocked that I forgot Dormammu wasn't dead yet!"

The moment Clea saw this, she panicked. But the target was too high up, so she could only clutch Natasha and anxiously say,

"Hurry, Dormammu is getting away! Get our teacher to kill him already! We need to pull out the roots and eliminate all future trouble!"

Watching the culprit who had relentlessly pursued her escape right before her eyes, Clea was so anxious that her palms began to sweat.

If she had not been afraid that the jade pendant would refuse to listen to her, she would have wanted to snatch it and use that phantom to kill Dormammu herself.

"Uh, I'm afraid that's impossible..."

Natasha shrugged helplessly. "Teacher's phantom seems to only protect us from harm. I can't make him do anything else."

"Unless Dormammu is bold enough to attack me again, then it might be possible for Teacher's phantom to act once more."

When they had been trapped in the Dark Dimension with no one helping them, Natasha had thought Teacher was angry and did not want to care about them anymore—that he had abandoned them.

Now, it seemed he had merely wanted to teach those audacious fools a lesson!

Teacher's love was truly deep and dependable!

"Then... then what do we do? We can't just watch him run away and let him keep hunting me afterward, can we?"

Clea was nearly in tears as she grabbed Natasha's hand and kept shaking it.

"Natasha, quickly think of a way to save this child using our teacher's invincible phantom! I really don't want to keep living that nerve-racking life!"

"Uh... there really isn't anything I can do." Natasha was speechless as well.

What did she mean, our teacher? He was clearly my teacher alone!

And how old was she, calling herself a child and pretending to be young? Did she want Natasha to punch out those headlights of hers?

Clea's pitiful act did not move Natasha, but it moved Kaecilius beside them, prompting him to comfort her.

"Once you pass the test and join the sect, there'll be no need to fear Dormammu. Besides, he can't come to Earth and cause trouble, so there's no need to worry too much."

"Moreover, Dormammu has been severely wounded this time and will definitely need a long time to recover. By the time he does, perhaps you'll have cultivated to the point where you can defeat him. You might even seize back the Dark Dimension and become its new ruler!"

Kaecilius painted a very grand picture, so grand that Natasha and Mordo beside him felt stuffed just listening to it.

To truly cultivate to that level, even someone with exceptional talent would need decades, if not a century.

But Clea's digestive system was clearly much better. She quickly immersed herself in the future Kaecilius had described.

An unrealistic silly grin spread across her face, utterly mismatched with her full head of silver hair, the signature feature of an icy beauty.

"Trampling Dormammu beneath my feet, becoming the ruler of darkness, hehe..."

At this sight, even Mordo, who had silently watched for a long time, could not help but praise her.

"No wonder she could endure Dormammu's pursuit for so long without breaking down. That optimistic mindset makes her perfect for cultivating immortality with us!"

As the group chatted idly, Dormammu high above finally forced his head into the portal and vanished from the area.

At the same time, the phantom formed from Feng Xu's divine sense began to dissipate.

Before it vanished, however, the phantom raised its hand and used the Time Law to restore the battered, crater-riddled moon to its original state and set its orbit right again, preventing any impact on Earth.

"Another powerful time spell." Clea was already becoming numb to the surprises.

To use time magic at this level without the Time Stone—she was determined to cling to this powerful backer!

"It's time to go. Let's head back and accept our punishment properly."

With everything settled, Mordo waved his hand and opened a portal, preparing to end this thoroughly unpleasant journey that had brought them absolutely no benefit.

At the mention of punishment, Natasha immediately pulled a long face. But then she suddenly thought of something, grabbed Clea beside her, and entered the portal first.

She had decided to use the credit for finding Clea to lessen her punishment.

After all, a gorgeous alien beauty who could open dimensional barriers and survive in a vacuum would definitely spark Teacher's interest in taking on another disciple!
