The Ancient One crouched at the bottom of the pit, spreading out a golden magic circle with both hands.
Fine runes swept from the top of Ultraman's head to his feet, then slowly moved along his tattered suit. Ultraman lay at the bottom of the pit with his eyes rolled back, his nose sunken, and half of his face swollen beyond recognition.
Chen Mo sat on the nearby gravel, crossed his legs, and watched for a long time.
"Old Master, have you found anything?"
"He is physically very strong."
"Wow, do we even need to check this?"
Chen Mo pointed to Ultraman's face.
"I threw so many punches at him, and his head didn't explode. Is there any doubt about that muscle-bound body?"
The Ancient One's hand paused for a moment.
He also possesses flight, Heat Vision, and extremely high speed.
"Didn't you just see him use it? Do we still need to check this?"
"His power is enough to threaten the Earth."
"Really? Then Earth is quite weak."
The Ancient One raised her eyelids and looked at Chen Mo.
Are you here to cause trouble?
"Old Master, this procedure still needs to be followed."
Chen Mo spread his hands, looking serious, and said, "Just in case you discover any hidden abilities, I'll be mentally prepared when I eat it."
The Ancient One her eyes and ignored him.
The golden magic circle moved downwards, sweeping across the red Cloak behind Ultraman. Several hidden runes were illuminated by magic, emerging one after another along the edge of the Cloak.
These runes connect with each other, forming a complete magic array.
"This is clearly not his strength."
The Ancient One reached out and brushed the tattered Cloak.
"A mage modified this battle suit. The magic array on it can isolate him from the external environment and stabilize the space around him, allowing him to travel between different worlds."
Chen Mo slapped his thigh.
I knew something was wrong.
What's wrong?
"Because this thing is supposed to be afraid of the sun."
Chen Mo stood up, walked to Ultraman's side, and reached out to tug at his Cloak.
"His physique is similar to a vampire's; sunbathing not only doesn't replenish his energy, it actually weakens him. I was wondering how he dared to fly around in broad daylight; turns out he secretly cast a spell on himself."
The Ancient One looked at the logo on the Ultraman's chest.
"He's very similar to that powerful figure you know?"
They look similar, and their abilities are similar too.
Chen Mo thought for a moment, then added, "But the original is much better than him. The original can cheat all the time, while this guy can only glare and throw punches, and he's not very bright either."
"You seem to know them very well."
"I used to see these people a lot when I was a child."
Chen Mo squatted down and squeezed Ultraman's arm.
Ultraman remained unresponsive while unconscious.
"Old Master, have you finished your examination?"
"Not yet."
"And now?"
"No."
"Why don't you take off your clothes first and examine them at your leisure? I'll just eat what's left over."
The Ancient One frowned.
"I need to keep the magic circle intact and confirm how it locks onto other worlds."
"You don't need to stuff someone inside the magic arrays on clothes and Cloak."
Chen Mo grabbed one of Ultraman's legs and tried to pull him out.
"You focus on packaging, I'll handle the product; we won't interfere with each other."
The Ancient One raised her hand and pressed it against her Cloak.
" Chen Mo, this matter is very important."
"Okay, okay."
Chen Mo released the Ultraman and sat back on the gravel.
"For the sake of our interdimensional communication, let him live for another five minutes. After five minutes, regardless of whether you've finished your research or not, I have to start eating."
The Ancient One neither agreed nor refused.
He channeled more magic into the Cloak, and the runes began to spin rapidly. The blurry coordinates of dozens of worlds flashed by in succession, most of them already damaged, with only a few still maintaining contact.
The Ancient One carefully recorded the structure of the magic array.
Chen Mo kept his eyes fixed on Ultraman.
To be precise, I was staring at his neck.
After this avatar devours the opponent, it can first send the Krypton genes and energy of the Ultraman back to its original body.
The Ultraman's weakness to sunlight is not a problem.
The Blacklight Virus excels at modifying bodies.
Maybe after eliminating its weaknesses, it can create an obedient Ultraman clone. In the future, when we need to carry out a job that involves destroying a base head-on, we can just send it out.
With that thought in mind, Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction.
The staff are equipped.
We'll have employees soon too.
If the Goddess of Death saw how enthusiastic he was, she'd surely give him a bonus, right?
"They've arrived."
The Ancient One suddenly raised her head.
Chen Mo stood up instantly.
"What's here? Can we eat now?"
"It's an unfamiliar scent."
The Ancient One turned to look at the world rift that was not yet fully closed, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"The magic array on him is the same, so he must come from the same world."
Chen Mo's eyes lit up.
He rushed to the crevice, his body covered in a black and red carapace, and peered inside.
"There are accomplices?"
Behind the crack was complete darkness.
There was no one in sight, and no sound.
Chen Mo waited a few seconds, then moved forward again.
Nothing came out.
Where are they?
I don't know.
"Old Master, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Won't."
The Ancient One raised his hand and activated the magic array, causing spatial fluctuations to immediately appear in the vicinity.
That unfamiliar aura appeared for only a moment.
It did not approach the New York Sanctum, but disappeared immediately upon entering the current world. It clearly possessed some kind of location tracking method and chose an alternative landing site.
The expectation on Chen Mo's face slowly disappeared.
He waited in front of the crevice for ages, but didn't see a single hair.
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Mo turned to look at the Ancient One.
"Did they log in from a different location?"
The Ancient One nodded.
"Very likely."
Chen Mo remained silent for a moment, then looked down at Ultraman.
"Our teammates were beaten up like this, and they came over but didn't even try to help them."
"Perhaps they don't know his situation."
"But you can't just wander into other people's houses like that, can you?"
Chen Mo flexed his wrists.
"These visitors from another world aren't registering first, which seriously disrupts local security. Once I find them, I'll have to teach them a lesson."
The Ancient One glanced at him.
"You just want to eat them."
Don't put it so harshly.
Chen Mo earnestly corrected him, "I'm just maintaining public safety across the multiverse and incidentally collecting some enforcement costs."
On the other side.
S.H.I.E.L.D.. Triskelion.
A piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the underground base.
All security doors closed simultaneously, and the agents on duty quickly drew their weapons. Red lights flashed continuously, and the highest-level intrusion warning appeared on the electronic screens.
Nick Fury suddenly stood up.
"What's going on? Where is this alarm coming from?"
"Chief! It's the seventh basement level, the experimental zone."
Hill quickly accessed the surveillance footage.
In the video, several figures have appeared in the previously empty laboratory.
A person wearing black armor and an owl-shaped mask.
A person wearing Cloak and a ring that emitted a green glow on their hand.
Beside them was a man in a red battle suit and a tall woman carrying a golden lasso.
They stood in the center of the experimental area, calmly observing the agents around them.
Nick Fury's only remaining eye suddenly contracted.
"How did they get in? Was it space technology again?"
No one could answer that.
The monitoring logs did not reveal any entry point.
These strangely dressed uninvited guests appeared out of nowhere at S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
