Dimension Heart!

"Dimension Heart: The holder's body can transform into a Dimension Body. The more dimensions you control, the stronger the Dimension Body becomes. Since the host currently controls no dimensions, current duration: 1 minute. Cooldown: 24 hours."

"Dimension Body: Fuse yourself with the dimensions you control and transform into a Dimensional Demon God. For a certain period, you will ignore all damage, and every attack will carry dimensional-level damage. When you die, if the dimensions you control have not perished, you can be reborn within dimensional space."

After reading the description of the Dimension Heart, Zhang Yang took a deep breath, shock filling his eyes.

If the Dimension Heart had not appeared, given his personality, he would definitely have refused The Ancient One's proposal, quietly developed himself, and made a stunning debut in the end.

But... the appearance of the Dimension Heart changed his mind.

With the Dimension Heart, he could temporarily transform into a Dimensional Demon God, ignore all damage, and fully mobilize the Endless Sea of Magic within his body.

In other words, with the Dimension Heart, he had gained a preliminary ability to protect himself, at least to some extent.

But there was one prerequisite.

He needed to control a dimension.

A dimension!

What kind of existence was that?

Anyone who controlled a dimension could be called a Dimensional Demon God.

One could imagine how difficult it was to control a dimension.

Even though this merged world had a full three thousand dimensions, most of them already had owners. Finding one without an owner was harder than ascending to the heavens!

And now... a ready-made dimension had been placed right in front of him.

Yes.

The Ancient One herself controlled a dimension, or rather, the Time Stone itself was a dimension.

The Time Dimension.

Above it flowed the River of Time!

"I accept."

Zhang Yang opened his eyes, a gleam appearing within them.

The Ancient One looked at that gleam and slowly nodded.

She knew what that gleam was, because she had once possessed it as well.

"This is the Eye of Agamotto."

The Ancient One handed the artifact on her chest, the symbol of the Sorcerer Supreme, to Zhang Yang. "As long as you gain its recognition, you will be the next..."

"I object!"

At that moment, someone barged in.

It was Kaecilius!

His eyes were bloodshot, and his chest heaved violently. He was clearly beside himself with rage.

"He's nothing more than a Mage Apprentice!"

Kaecilius glared furiously at The Ancient One, pointing at Zhang Yang. "How can the position of Sorcerer Supreme be handed to him?"

"How am I inferior to him?"

Kaecilius uttered those words through gritted teeth.

He truly did not understand why The Ancient One would rather hand the position of Supreme One to a Mage Apprentice whose background she did not know, someone who had only joined Kamar-Taj a month ago, than give it to him, who had served her for five years.

Because of strength?

His strength had already reached the peak of a Temple Mage. He was just one step away from entering the ranks of the Supreme One!

Or because of seniority?

His seniority might not have been the greatest, but as The Ancient One's personal disciple, the only person in all of Kamar-Taj qualified to compete with him was Mordo.

And Zhang Yang was merely a Mage Apprentice who had joined Kamar-Taj a month ago. Though his performance had been eye-catching and he possessed talent that made Kaecilius jealous... that was still only talent.

In terms of strength, he could crush Zhang Yang with one hand!

So Kaecilius could not understand why, at such a crucial moment, after learning that The Ancient One had been severely injured and preparing himself to shoulder the burden of the world, The Ancient One had given that position to someone else.

If she had given it to Mordo, he would have been unwilling, but he could still understand.

Zhang Yang?

Who was he?

The Ancient One's illegitimate son?

At that moment, the enraged Kaecilius did not hesitate to speculate about The Ancient One from the most malicious angle possible.

"Do I need to explain my actions to you?"

The Ancient One still spoke as calmly as ever, but Kaecilius seemed to have encountered a flood beast—or like prey at the bottom of the food chain encountering a prehistoric tyrannosaurus. The anger on his face instantly turned to terror.

The speed of that change made Zhang Yang unable to suppress a laugh.

"You..."

Even a starved camel was bigger than a horse. Kaecilius did not dare to flare up at the severely injured Ancient One, but when facing Zhang Yang?

"Kid, your name is Zhang Yang, right?"

Kaecilius was likely so consumed by rage that a red gleam flashed through his eyes. He actually charged at Zhang Yang in front of The Ancient One. "Let me give you a piece of advice: don't bite off more than you can chew."

"Be too greedy, and you'll choke to death!"

Facing Kaecilius's harmless threat, Zhang Yang shrugged. "Me... I've always had a pretty big appetite."

"Whether I can swallow it or not, I'll have to eat it first to find out."

"Right, Master?"

In front of Kaecilius, The Ancient One nodded very seriously. "You are the most suitable person for this position."

"I can rest easy leaving it to you."

Kaecilius was furious.

The Ancient One was one thing. As her personal disciple, he knew how many methods she possessed and how powerful she was. He did not dare to flare up at her.

But Zhang Yang...

Kaecilius looked at the smiling Zhang Yang and wished he could strike and crush him outright, but... he did not dare!

Although The Ancient One's gaze was not resting on him, he had a feeling.

The moment he attacked, he would face a life-or-death crisis!

That feeling had saved him many times before, and he trusted it deeply.

Therefore, he did not dare to attack.

"Hmph!"

Kaecilius snorted coldly. After shooting Zhang Yang a vicious glare, he turned and left the Mirror Dimension.

"My worthless disciple..."

After Kaecilius left, The Ancient One smiled apologetically at Zhang Yang. "Sorry you had to see that."

"..."

Zhang Yang did not answer. He always felt that The Ancient One's attitude toward him seemed somewhat strange.

It was not the way she treated a Mage Apprentice. Instead, it was more like how she treated an equal powerhouse.

"Take it."

The Ancient One extended the Eye of Agamotto in her hand again. "Once you establish a spiritual connection with it, then study the Book of Cagliostro, you will be able to fully control the Eye of Agamotto."

"You will also be able to control your first dimension..."

The Ancient One did not say those final words aloud. Instead, she silently murmured them in her heart.

Yes. As the controller of the Time Stone, although she could not see Zhang Yang's fate, the altered future, and the dimensions that were being controlled one after another by the same person without anyone realizing it, all revealed one thing to her.

The future was changing.

And the person causing those changes... was right before her eyes.

The reason she was handing over the Time Stone and the position of Sorcerer Supreme was also because of those changes.

All the tragic futures she had seen would be rewritten!

The River of Time was no longer clearly visible. Fate would be veiled, no longer like a little girl who could be manipulated at will.
