Two pitch-black energy black holes simultaneously slammed into each other's faces.
There was no sound.
The light vanished completely in that instant, followed by an indescribable burst of terrifying energy erupting between the two.
The world's interlayer suddenly collapsed inward.
Chen Mo and his Mirror Chen Mo shattered simultaneously; their black and red flesh and blood had no time to disperse before being Oblivion into the most basic particles.
The next moment.
Countless blood vessels reappeared, forcibly pulling their bodies back to normal.
Boom!
A belated deafening roar pierced the void.
Vast cracks spread across the void in all directions, blasting through the edges of the world's interlayers. Through those cracks, one could even see fragmented worlds.
Some worlds have become lifeless.
Some parts of the world are covered in lava.
A fragment of the starry sky had just begun to appear when it was completely torn apart by the spreading energy impact.
Inside the New York Sanctum.
The golden light barrier in front of the Ancient One instantly shattered.
He suddenly raised his head.
Above the Sanctum, the once peaceful sky suddenly cracked open, revealing countless black fissures covering the skies above New York.
Pedestrians on the street stopped in their tracks and looked up at the sky in horror.
What is that?
"The sky has cracked open?"
"Run!"
Panic began to spread.
Odin gazed at the scene outside the Sanctum, his single eye twitching slightly.
" The Ancient One, is this perhaps the normal process of constructing a world?"
"Of course not."
The Ancient One formed hand seals, and hundreds of golden magic arrays simultaneously unfolded above New York, forcibly covering those spatial rifts.
"Normal processes wouldn't shatter the very edges of the world."
Odin remained silent.
He felt that what the Ancient One said made a lot of sense.
Inside the interlayer of the world, Chen Mo's head had just recovered when he was suddenly confronted by a fist covered in carapace.
Bang!
Half of his face disappeared on the spot.
Chen Mo did not retreat. A row of sharp bone spurs grew from his shoulder, piercing through the chest of the Mirror Chen Mo, and then suddenly spread out to both sides.
Flesh and blood torn apart.
Mirror Chen Mo's body was instantly split in two.
Before Chen Mo could even absorb it, the two halves of his body turned into a blackish-red liquid, enveloping him from two directions.
"They're pretty good at grabbing things."
Chen Mo grinned, and the crimson-gold energy within his body erupted in full force.
Countless tentacles, imbued with Cosmic Energy, extended from his back, each spanning thousands of miles, its surface flowing with dense golden patterns.
The tentacles snapped shut.
The flesh and blood defense layer that Mirror Chen Mo had just formed shattered instantly.
Chen Mo's chest split open, and a gigantic maw covered in black fangs expanded outward, biting directly at the half of Mirror Chen Mo.
Click.
The bones were directly crushed.
He tore off large chunks of flesh, skin and bone, and stuffed them into his gaping maw, chewing them frantically.
Mirror Chen Mo raised his palm, and crimson-gold light gathered once more.
This time, however, the speed of energy condensation was noticeably slower.
Chen Mo immediately noticed the change.
"Out of power?"
Mirror Chen Mo did not answer.
The energy in his palm transformed into a beam of light, piercing through Chen Mo's chest, but it failed to completely destroy Chen Mo's body as it had before.
Dozens of tentacles emerged from both sides of the wound and wrapped around his arm.
Chen Mo smiled.
This body is ultimately just a temporary product created by the world's inner workings according to its rules.
It can replicate the power Chen Mo possessed when he entered this place, and it can also replicate the evolutionary capabilities of the Blacklight Virus.
However, it cannot replicate Chen Mo's true underlying support.
The exploration clones distributed across various stars continue to supply energy. The countless genes it has devoured are also providing complete templates for each evolution.
Mirrors don't have these things.
It can mimic the result, but it lacks the vast system behind the original entity.
After playing for so long, this guy finally couldn't keep going.
"Bro, our mutual trust-boosting is over."
Chen Mo raised his right hand, Five Fingers split open at the same time, transforming into five giant black and red pythons that bit down hard on the limbs and head of the Mirror Chen Mo.
"It's time to pay the bill."
boom!
Crimson-gold energy flowed into the mirror image's body along the tentacles.
The Mirror Chen Mo's mimicry shell crumbled layer by layer, and his newly restored bones also broke inch by inch under the energy impact.
He attempted to break away and escape.
But the surrounding void had already been covered by Chen Mo's flesh and blood.
Black tentacles extend from every crack, grabbing back every cell that has split off. Even a single drop of blood that manages to escape will be torn apart and devoured on the spot.
The recovery speed of the Mirror Chen Mo is getting slower and slower.
His body rapidly shrank from a colossal mass of flesh and blood spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers into a human form, eventually becoming nothing more than a struggling mass of dark red matter.
Chen Mo grabbed the mass of matter.
The giant maw on its chest opened again.
"Thank you for the sparring session."
He stuffed the entire Mirror Chen Mo inside.
The sharp teeth fell.
The last clump of dark red flesh was completely crushed.
The interlayer of the world suddenly fell silent.
Inside the New York Sanctum.
Odin gazed at the restored golden light screen and slowly sat back down in his chair.
" The Ancient One."
"Um?"
"Can Asgard be moved?"
As the Ancient One repaired the dimensional rift, she glanced at him.
Where do you want to move to?
"Just stay away from him."
Odin's tone was very serious.
"I feel incredibly insecure living in the same universe as this guy."
"The God-King is overthinking it; he can teleport across universes."
"Okay, never mind."
In the interlayer of the world.
The moment the absorption was completed, a violent tremor suddenly came from Chen Mo's body.
Countless golden fragments emerged from nothingness.
Those fragments are neither matter nor ordinary energy, but rather the unowned rules that the interlayers of the world use to give birth to dimensions.
Originally, with the disappearance of the mirror images, they should have returned to nothingness.
However, the Blacklight Virus has already defined Mirror Chen Mo as food.
Everything within the mirror image is within its devouring range.
The golden fragments of rules paused slightly, then transformed into a torrent, rushing into Chen Mo's body through the still-open maw in his chest.
space.
energy.
substance.
life.
One by one, the laws that were not yet fully formed were forcibly torn apart and stuffed into every cell of Chen Mo's body.
Large spaces appeared inside his bones.
As the blood flows, crimson-gold energy forms star-like specks of light.
Each Blacklight cell is expanding, yet it doesn't change its original size.
Golden cracks covered Chen Mo's entire body.
His body seemed ready to explode at any moment, but the next second, the Blacklight Virus began to adapt to the rules, replicate the rules, and devour the rules.
Inside the Sanctum, the Ancient One stopped what she was doing.
He stared intently at the light screen, the initial astonishment in his eyes gradually turning into focused amazement.
"I see, so that's how it works?"
Odin frowned.
"What happened?"
"A normal dimensional demon god will create a world outside its own body and govern the laws according to its own will."
The Ancient One watched as the space within Chen Mo's body continued to expand.
But he didn't do that.
"What is he doing?"
The Ancient One remained silent for a few seconds.
He crushed all the rules and stuffed them into his own body.
Odin suddenly stood up.
Within the light curtain, Chen Mo's body was constantly collapsing, forming an even larger internal space in the process.
He did not build the world.
He is becoming a world.
The patterns of the universe and the endless starry sky appear on the Armor Mode, flowing slowly.
Just then, Chen Mo suddenly turned his head.
Those eyes, filled with dark red blood vessels and golden spatial cracks, were fixed on the void ahead.
His gaze pierced through the layers of the world, across countless dimensions, and landed precisely on Odin within the New York Sanctum.
Odin's body suddenly froze.
Chen Mo grinned, and fragments of space kept spilling out from between his teeth.
"Now that it's fully charged, give me your brother's exact address."
