"I need to think for a moment."
Master Ancient One had a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
Faced with Uehara Naraku, this incomprehensible guy, Master Ancient One could only ponder silently, trying to come up with a way to resolve the current situation.
This guy is not acting in the New York battle...
Obviously, it's because what happened here interests him more.
Although Master Ancient One couldn't observe Uehara Naraku's future, she wasn't particularly clear about Uehara Naraku's conspiracies and tricks. There was no doubt that Uehara Naraku had some ulterior motive in wanting her to lend the Time Gem to Strange.
If you want to deal with Uehara Naraku, interpreting Uehara Naraku's every move as a conspiracy is the safest approach.
A sudden fluctuation appeared in space.
Master Ancient One calmly raised the teacup in front of her. Just as everyone thought she was deep in thought, Ancient One suddenly flipped her hand!
Space silently folded like a mirror!
Before anyone could react, Master Ancient One had already led the group of Future Warriors into the Mirror Space. The sudden action of this Supreme Mage caught everyone off guard!
"This is..."
Steve Rogers glanced at the surroundings, identical to the outside world, and showed some confusion on his face: "Where are we?"
"Mirror Space."
Dr. Strange looked at Ancient One before lifting his finger to point at a group of polygonal glass mirrors, explaining the principle of Mirror Space to Steve Rogers.
"You can think of it as a world inside a mirror."
"Those are the space barriers between Mirror Space and the real world. People in the real world cannot see what's happening in Mirror Space, but those in Mirror Space can observe the outside world without being noticed."
"It's a common method used by us Mages, not for stealing secrets, but for monitoring the potential darkness in this world."
As Dr. Strange spoke, he observed Uehara Naraku, who was still in the real world, through the polygonal glass-like space barriers.
Uehara Naraku in the real world seemed yet to realize what had happened.
After all, a group of living people disappeared right before his eyes.
Dr. Strange sighed with relief as he watched the perplexed Uehara Naraku in the real world: "Alright, now hiding here should be safe... I remember Uehara Naraku doesn't have the ability to break Mirror Space..."
Hmm...
Mirror Space is undoubtedly safe.
Once, future Uehara Naraku chased down the members of The Avengers, but fortunately, Strange quickly thought on his feet and brought people into Mirror Space, saving their lives.
Such things...
Dr. Strange has experience.
Crash!
The sound of glass shattering interrupted Strange's words!
No, it's not the sound of glass breaking, but the sound of the space barrier between the mirror and reality fracturing. This sound was so soul-stirring!
"Oh..."
Uehara Naraku slowly retracted his fist and stepped into the Mirror Space. He glanced at everyone present and curled his lips: "If you want to hide in here, at least take me along, right?"
"Wait... how can you break Mirror Space..."
Dr. Strange felt his world being overturned again.
Now Strange suddenly felt his mind was in chaos.
He couldn't tell whether it was Uehara Naraku of this era conspiring for his future self or future Uehara Naraku always scheming for his present-day self...
This was truly indistinguishable...
After all, they were the ones being toyed with.
Master Ancient One slowly raised her hand, an orange Magic Array appearing in her palm, as she stared closely at Uehara Naraku who broke through the space barrier!
"Fall back, Strange!"
Master Ancient One waved the Magic Array in her hand as she charged towards Uehara Naraku, her face full of solemnity and consternation: "You all leave here first!"
"No rush to leave here!"
Uehara Naraku retorted to Master's words, chuckling lightly: "Maybe Master Ancient One of this era has been deeply invaded by Dark Energy, and she's intentionally tricking you into not wanting to hand over the gem?"
"..."
Dr. Strange and a group of Future Warriors were speechless.
If the person saying this wasn't Uehara Naraku, perhaps he might have believed such nonsense, but compared to Master Ancient One who had stolen Dark Energy before...
Uehara Naraku was the true Dark Demon King!
How could someone who deceives their friendship and feelings have the nerve to call others liars? He is the master of conspiracy and deception!
Just as Strange and the group of Future Warriors were pondering, Uehara Naraku and Master Ancient One had already begun to battle!
The mages of this world excel at using Magic Arrays.
By releasing Mana from their bodies, they can form bright orange Magic Arrays, which are quite stable, serving as both Magic Array blades for attack and Magic Array shields for defense!
Bam!
Uehara Naraku's fist landed on the Magic Array shield in Master Ancient One's hand!
The sound of the Magic Array shattering quietly arose, but Master Ancient One was quick, hastily using her Mana to restore the Magic Array shield's defense!
"Tsk, the Mage's Magic Array is really beautiful..."
Uehara Naraku swung his fist once more, smashing the Magic Array shield of Master Ancient One. His fist opened up in the instant it broke through the defense!
