"Aren't you going to come out yet? I'm not the one running out of time."
Nolan looked at the room.
Suddenly, the entire room and the corpses on the ground transformed into red particles and vanished, reappearing in a red mist.
"Master~ I have plenty of time. As long as you stay here, I can extend time. One second outside is a year, ten years, a hundred years here."
The voice of the Scarlet Witch came from the mist, rising and falling, shifting left and right.
Vishanti's Sacred Sword.
A dazzling golden light instantly flared around Nolan.
Within the light, several circles of ancient magic runes rapidly formed into blades, shooting out in all directions, piercing through the red mist wherever they went.
However, although the blades churned the red mist into chaos, they never touched anything substantial.
"It's useless, Master~ I know you're strong, but you can't defeat me in this state."
The surrounding red mist slowly dissipated.
A giant human face appeared in the sky, it was the Scarlet Witch.
And Nolan stood on her palm.
The Scarlet Witch's lips curved slightly upward, revealing an eerie smile, then she gently closed her hand, tightly grasping Nolan, and slowly brought him to her chest.
"Master, stay with me forever."
She whispered softly, her voice filled with weariness, yet also a hint of satisfaction.
After speaking, she slowly closed her eyes, her body floating gently in the void like a falling leaf, as if enjoying this moment of tranquility.
Suddenly, the Scarlet Witch spread her hands, and a raging Fire surged from her palms.
The Fire was golden-yellow and intensely hot.
"Ang!"
A deafening cry rang out, and the Fire quickly condensed in the air, transforming into a giant Fire Phoenix.
The Phoenix's body was engulfed in raging flames, every feather shimmering with dazzling light, and its wings, when spread, almost covered the entire sky.
And clearly enveloped within the Phoenix's chest were two figures: Nolan and Black Phoenix.
"Black Phoenix! I was sure you had left... Mystique!"
Wanda reacted, gritting her teeth in anger.
"Do you think I would come alone?"
Nolan said coldly.
"Black Phoenix, kill her."
"Homewrecker, die for me!"
In Black Phoenix's eyes, anyone not acknowledged by Nolan was a homewrecker.
A colossal pillar of golden Fire light shot towards Wanda.
Wherever the light pillar went, space was instantly distorted, and Wanda had no time to dodge, being instantly engulfed by the light pillar, her entire being turning to ash in the light.
However, the residual power of the Phoenix Force's attack rampaged through this White space.
The originally pristine White space was now left with a black void, like a giant black hole, devouring everything around it.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
Agonized screams echoed all around.
This was her mental space; as long as her mental power was stronger than theirs, she was invincible here.
But she happened to encounter Black Phoenix.
The Phoenix Force could destroy most tangible and intangible things in this World.
This included mental power.
The Scarlet Witch struggled to maintain her shattered mental defenses, resisting Black Phoenix's power.
Her eyes burned with rage, staring fixedly at Nolan and Black Phoenix, and she shrieked fiercely.
"Do you think you can completely defeat me like this?!"
The flames around Black Phoenix grew even hotter; each flap of its wings stirred up surging waves of Fire, scorching and distorting the surrounding void space.
This also caused the Scarlet Witch even more pain.
It shrieked, spreading its wings, and countless fiery blades shot towards the Scarlet Witch like a torrential rain.
The Scarlet Witch dared not take them head-on, her figure constantly flickering in the mental space.
At the same time, she manipulated red energy, condensing sturdy energy shields in front of her, each shield inscribed with mysterious runes, blocking the invasion of the fiery blades.
Nolan continuously drew Runic symbols, releasing them all at once.
Divine Thunder!
The entire mental space was enveloped by golden lightning, and countless thick lightning pillars descended from the sky, like sharp swords, striking fiercely at Wanda.
The lightning and the Phoenix Force intertwined, forming an even more powerful force, launching the final assault on Wanda's mental space.
Under the impact of this powerful force, Wanda's mental space finally buckled under the pressure and began to collapse rapidly.
When Nolan opened his eyes, he was back in the original small room.
However, in front of him lay an old woman who looked asleep.
"Nolan, she's dead."
Black Phoenix checked her twice from the side.
"Mm, let's go too."
Nolan stood up and walked towards the door. Opening it revealed a corridor. Black Phoenix glanced at the Scarlet Witch on the bed, then skipped and jumped after him.
"Nolan, did I help you this time?"
"Mm, you helped a lot."
"Then I want a reward."
"Okay, what do you want? I don't have many life fruits left, at most five more for you."
"Really? *Slurp*, I don't want that. Next time, I want to ride on Jean together."
"...Okay, as long as you don't beg me to save you afterward."
"Then forget it. Just give me the life fruit. Give me one now, and keep the rest for me. I'm afraid Galan will snatch them."
"...No problem."
Nolan shook his head helplessly, took out a life fruit, and handed it to Black Phoenix.
Black Phoenix took the fruit, put it in her mouth, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
The two came downstairs.
Quicksilver, still falling, crashed heavily onto the ground.
He stood up, just about to escape with his mother and sister.
"Stay home obediently. Someone will come to find you in a while."
Nolan said, walking out.
Quicksilver paused, quickly went upstairs, and sighed silently as he looked at his dead sister.
Or rather, she stopped being his sister when she started looking at him with that unfamiliar gaze a few years ago.
He came outside again.
The Sun slowly dimmed, birds flew erratically in the bright sky, the ground began to freeze, storms, hail, all kinds of phenomena indicated the coming of the World's end.
"Who exactly was that person?"
Nolan arrived in space.
At this moment, Earth was in chaos, with various natural disasters occurring frequently, as if the end of the World was imminent.
Nolan opened the portal to Hell and stuffed the entire Earth inside.
After doing all this, Nolan did not leave.
Instead, he looked at the constantly collapsing Universe before him, starlight flickering in his eyes.
This was the effect brought by Mimir's Authority.
The ritual, once half-completed, began again.
When the Universe collapses, its most fundamental operating rules and hidden laws are revealed in an extreme and intuitive way.
Nolan could capture the details of the laws of time and space from this, understanding the principles of how time and space intertwine and influence each other.
The Universe contains various energies, and during the collapse process, these energies collide, transform, and annihilate each other.
After the normal ritual was completed, Nolan would merge with this World, becoming an existence similar to Eternity.
But this World was already dead, just like a transaction; without a creditor, you don't need to repay the money.
It's just...
"Still a little short."
Nolan sighed helplessly.
He was still a little short of the multiverse level, a gap like a chasm. He didn't know if he needed to merge with the Universe to achieve it, or if something else was missing?
Nolan opened a portal and left this destroyed World.
But he didn't notice a red dot closely following him, disappearing together into this collapsing World.
