The Planet Came Alive! Illusions of Ikonn Unleashed Three Hundred Copies!
Since the last time the moon was blasted into several large craters...
The Earth has entered a rare period of calm.
Ren was living a very comfortable life.
He spends his days in the Library, drinking tea and flipping through various ancient Magic books.
With the system as his super cheat, reading was like having an accelerator, and his Magic skills were skyrocketing at a visible speed every day.
He seems to be several levels better now than he was a few months ago.
However, with increased strength comes new troubles.
He can no longer test new Magic near Earth.
Because after he used the moon as a target to split it apart last time.
When Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One returned, his eyes were terrifyingly bright, his pupils as red as a rabbit's, as if he wanted to devour someone.
This was the first time in all of Ren's life that he had ever seen this usually gentle and refined guardian of Earth so angry.
For the sake of his own life, Ren immediately decided that he would stay far away from any future practice sessions, preferably even outside the Milky Way.
That afternoon.
In the deepest corner of the Library, Ren found an ancient book covered in dust.
This book is not a manuscript from the previous Kamar-Taj masters, but a unique copy that the Ancient One somehow found in another dimension. The book is called "The Book of Ikonn".
It contains a record of an extremely rare and advanced secret technique— the Illusions of Ikonn.
Although it's called Illusion, the more Ren looked at it, the more he felt that this thing was basically a super clone cheat!
It can instantly condense hundreds or thousands of phantom images using Magic Power.
The most terrifying thing is that each phantom can perfectly replicate 100% of the original's combat power!
This means that, as long as there is enough Magic Power, the Spellcaster's strength can increase hundreds of times in an instant!
This outrageous skill mechanic is practically made for gang battles.
"Bite!"
"The host has successfully comprehended the high-level Magic [Illusions of Ikonn] after perusing the Ancient and rare book, 'The Book of Ikonn'!"
Current skill level: Level 1.
Hearing the crisp Electronic Voice in his mind, Ren rubbed his hands together excitedly.
This is great stuff!
If a group of these characters were to engage in a massive battle, with hundreds of them simultaneously unleashing their ultimate attacks, even Thanos would be blasted to smithereens, right?
Now that he had the skill, Ren was itching to test its power.
"Perfect timing. I've been making good progress in understanding the Spatial Law lately, so I'll take this opportunity to test the maximum distance of the Portal."
Ren made up his mind.
He closed his eyes, and his boundless Psychic Power spread wildly into the depths of the Universe like a tsunami.
He quickly drew circles in the air with both hands.
Buzz!
A golden Portal, more dazzling and profound than usual, suddenly appeared in a corner of the Library.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ren stepped inside.
The next second.
Ren found himself in an extremely unfamiliar and desolate star system.
There wasn't a single star around, only endless darkness and cold.
And not far ahead of Ren.
A huge, dark red planet floats silently in the air.
Ren released his Psychic Power and casually scanned the area.
This planet is covered with all sorts of strange red plants, but strangely, there isn't a single insect or animal on the entire planet.
There was no sign of life; it was deathly silent.
"The Universe is truly vast, containing all sorts of bizarre planets. But that's perfect for using them as targets."
Ren had no interest in the Death Star; he was just eager to test his new abilities.
Floating in space.
Ren formed hand seals and softly uttered the incantation. "Illusions of Ikonn!"
Buzz--!
A strange surge of Magic Power rippled outwards from Ren.
His body seemed to have been put into a double-image state, and began to split apart.
Just a few seconds later.
Three hundred identical Ren floated in perfect unison in the cold Universe!
"This feeling... is amazing."
Ren closed his eyes and carefully savored the sensation.
These three hundred clones are not independent individuals, but rather extensions of his consciousness.
He can perceive images from three hundred different perspectives simultaneously, as if he has three hundred pairs of eyes and three hundred pairs of hands.
Moreover, the intensity of the Magic Power flowing within each clone was exactly the same as that of the original body!
"That's simply divine skill!"
Ren nodded in satisfaction. "It's just a pity it consumes too much mana."
Maintaining these three hundred fully-powered clones requires an astronomical amount of Magic Power to be drawn every second.
Even a freak like Ren, whose Magic Power was as vast as the ocean, felt obvious pressure.
This kind of burst skill can only be used to finish a battle quickly; it's not suitable for prolonged combat.
"Hurry up and check the output."
Ren didn't delay any longer.
He raised his right hand, his five fingers suddenly spreading open.
The three hundred clones around him, like mirror images, performed the exact same actions.
Sizzle!
Three hundred clusters of raging yellow lightning simultaneously lit up the sky.
"Bolts of Balthakk!"
Three hundred thick, destructive bolts of lightning converged into a terrifying yellow storm ocean, slamming fiercely towards the dark red Death Star ahead!
Click! Click!
Accompanied by a barrage of thunderous bombardment.
On the surface of that Death Star, huge rifts suddenly exploded.
Countless massive rocks, as large as mountains, were hurled into space by the terrifying force of the explosion.
However.
Looking at the results of the battle before him, Ren was stunned.
"That's not right..."
Ren frowned, his face full of confusion.
He unleashed his strongest forbidden spell simultaneously from three hundred clones. With that kind of power, even if it couldn't shatter the planet on the spot, it would at least blow it in half, right?
How come so far they've only blown up a few mountain-sized areas?
His skills have clearly improved a lot recently!
Is this planet's material harder than Vibranium?
This makes absolutely no sense!
Just as Ren was completely bewildered...
Deep within this dark red planet, there exists a consciousness even more bewildered and furious than Ren!
This planet is not an ordinary Death Star.
It is a living Ancient Celestial — Ego!
He is also Star-Lord's biological father.
Now.
While Ego was sleeping deep inside the Earth, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his scalp!
Then, he discovered that a large part of his planet's surface had been completely blasted away!
Ego woke up immediately.
How the hell is that possible?!
He was Ancient Celestial!
This planet is his true form.
The rocks and soil on the surface were all high-density materials that he had condensed and compressed using Celestial power over hundreds of millions of years.
Its hardness far exceeds that of most metals known in the Universe.
Even if the Kree Empire's Planet Killer Cannon were to bombard it head-on, at most they would only leave a small crater in its territory.
But now.
He had just taken a nap when he woke up to find several transparent holes, each the size of a mountain range, blasted into his body!
What on earth caused this destruction?!
"Could it be that we accidentally bumped into some kind of unknown super Cosmic Rays?"
While enduring the excruciating pain, Ego secretly speculated.
The thought had just popped into my head.
Boom!
Another round of intense, yellow lightning bombardment followed.
A huge gap was blown open in Ego's body again, and countless high-density substances were vaporized.
Holy crap!!!
Ego was absolutely enraged.
This is definitely not a Cosmic Rays!
Someone is deliberately using him as a target to bomb!
Ego's vast, ocean-like Psychic Power burst forth from his body and swept towards space.
Soon, he spotted the three hundred densely packed figures in the starry sky.
Moreover, these guys were still rubbing yellow lightning bolts in their hands, clearly not having had enough of the explosions and preparing for another one!
"Enough!!!"
Unable to contain himself any longer, Ego unleashed a terrifying roar that shook the Sea of Stars.
What did he do to deserve this?
He was a law-abiding, homebody Celestial, sleeping peacefully at the edge of the Universe.
Where did these lunatics come from?
Should I just strike him with lightning right away?
Do they really think he's Celestial made of clay?!
Buzz--!
Accompanied by Ego's endless rage.
A massive Psychic Power, powerful enough to distort space itself, erupted with a deafening roar!
The entire dark red planet began to ripple violently across its surface.
This Celestial Planet has been dormant for countless years.
It's completely alive!
