You must know that dark matter energy existed in the space where Dormammu lived. Blaine had analyzed dark matter energy before using his Copy Eye. Thinking about it, the Ancient One could be so powerful partly because of the origin of magic brought by Karu, but in the later stage, she relied on absorbing dark matter.
Therefore, the Ancient One's magic and Dormammu's energy had somewhat similar origins. It was like changing the bottle without changing the wine. Their structure, essence, and nature were also very similar. This was a bargain for Blaine, allowing him to analyze the Ancient One's magic with ease.
"Cuckoo, cluck, cluck, cluck…"
"Why do you know dark magic?"
"Could it be… did they really choose you…"
"No, no."
"Why? Why…"
"…"
As its voice became weaker and weaker, the metal monster's body gradually shattered, finally disappearing on the spot.
In the next second, Blaine also seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden, and he quickly moved out of this dark space in an instant.
It was not that he was afraid the metal monster would explode or do something else while dying. It was just that Blaine felt uncomfortable in that dark space, as if hundreds of thin needles were pricking him.
He did not know why. After all, with Blaine's physique, he was like a fish in water, not to mention in space, but even in the world where Dormammu existed. Although that place was not comfortable, it was definitely not as uncomfortable as this place had been just now. Perhaps Blaine's body instinctively rejected it, but Blaine did not care too much about that anyway.
However, there was one other thing Blaine did not notice when he came out. When the metal monster's body shattered into slag, a piece of red cloth seemed to fall from its mouth. It was a very ordinary piece of leather fabric, the kind commonly found on the market. It looked as if the metal monster had torn it from someone. Of course, perhaps it had been an object.
If Blaine had known, not only would he have recognized where the leather fabric came from, but he would also have become even more cautious. Because wasn't this piece of cloth the unique leather from Xiaojianjian's uniform? In the entire Marvel universe, he was the only one who liked this kind of leather uniform.
As soon as he stepped out of the dark space, Blaine immediately let out a heavy breath, as if he had finally been relieved.
When Blaine calmed down, the red light in his eyes gradually faded away. Only then did Blaine feel that he had truly been impulsive and reckless just now. He should not have killed it directly. There had still been many things he needed to ask.
Thinking about those nonsensical words just now, although Blaine was also confused, if he considered them carefully, they seemed to connect with what he already knew.
Blaine looked forward, and his eyes gradually became vacant, as if he had fallen into deep contemplation.
Thinking back, if what the metal monster said was true, then the Hunter family also existed. Needless to say, Blaine had to be one of them. Then, considering what the Collector had said about something like a black cloud, as well as another high-dimensional civilization with high-level warships…
The metal monster must have been what it called part of the dark world, and the dark cloud should also have been some kind of substance from the dark world, or dark energy. As for the other fleet, it was probably the Hunter family.
Then why was this metal monster imprisoned here? Could it be that the dark space was somewhere in the dark world? Was that why Blaine's body had rejected it? Or had the originally good space been polluted by the metal monster?
In that case, this clean, white place had been left behind by the former Hunter family. As for why they had all been destroyed, had this metal monster acted as an undercover agent here and sent information to the dark world, leading to the destruction of Blaine's entire family?
No, it was also possible that this metal monster had once been a member of the Hunter family, and because of something, it had betrayed them.
And the Ancient One, Karu—how had they obtained that mass of dark matter? Was it a coincidence? Or had someone deliberately allowed them to see it, discover it, and master it? Blaine always felt that this was another enormous conspiracy. And the era the Ancient One said would eventually come—had she also predicted something? Now, Blaine was increasingly aware that a storm was approaching, and it was not as simple as the Ancient One had said. It even seemed that the center of this storm was Blaine himself.
For some reason, the more Blaine thought about it, the more confused he became. The more he thought, the more tangled everything grew. All his thoughts became entangled together, to the point that Blaine could not distinguish them at all.
Also, had it really been referring to this universe? Although Blaine knew that the Marvel universe was originally a multiverse, so he would not be surprised if his family came from another universe.
And the metal monster had said Blaine was some kind of hope. The Ancient One had also concluded that he would shine in the future dark age. Was this implying something again?
Could this be the secret that the prehistoric Bounty Hunters had been searching for all their lives? Even a prehistoric Bounty Hunter as powerful as him had been unable to solve the true mystery. Even now, after Blaine had come into contact with so many things, he was afraid it was still only the tip of the iceberg among countless mysteries, and he had merely seen a rough outline. It seemed that this time, Blaine had to shoulder this burden.
However, in such a powerful civilization, even an undercover agent or traitor, after enduring the scouring of time and the long river of history, still possessed such terrifying strength. Then what about the leader of that civilization? What kind of powerful existence would that be? There was also the dark world that had destroyed this civilization, which was even more unimaginable. Blaine feared that everything was not as simple as he had thought.
Being able to find this much here should already have been a great stroke of luck for Blaine. As for how many secrets there still were, and how large a conspiracy was hidden behind them, Blaine did not know. It was just that the veil was being lifted bit by bit by Blaine, and he believed he would know everything in the near future.
Such a powerful family, such a powerful cosmic civilization, had probably already reached the level of a creation god. Then it was impossible for the five existing creation gods not to know of their existence.
Therefore, if Blaine truly wanted to understand something deeper, he had to improve his own strength. Only by reaching the Universe Level as soon as possible would he be qualified to touch the secrets of that level.
"Okay, let's go."
"At least I know that I come from another universe."
"And that my enemy is the dark world."
"That's enough, isn't it?"
"Next, I only need to keep improving my strength."
