The next second, his physical body blurred, while his spiritual form became solid.
Alex easily neutralized this kind of attack from the Ancient One and retreated a distance, "As expected of the Sorcerer Supreme. Even the Mind Stone can't brainwash you."
"In that case, 'mind invasion' probably won't work either."
Realizing this, Alex didn't waste time testing further and directly used "Mind Storm" on her.
His eyes lit up, and an invisible storm appeared, entering deep into the Ancient One's mind, violently battering her spirit and will. For a brief instant, her gaze dimmed and went blank.
That instant was enough.
Alex's eyes immediately shot out golden beams. The heat vision blasted into her. Before she could deploy the "Shield of the Seraphim," the Sorcerer Supreme's figure was swallowed by golden light.
Alex was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected it to be this easy to take her down.
Back when they first met, he couldn't defeat her at all. In the end, she had withdrawn on her own to avoid damaging reality.
But this time, combined with his mental abilities, Alex had taken down the Sorcerer Supreme with ease.
Yet at that moment, Alex saw a figure descending from the sky. Another Sorcerer Supreme. Another Ancient One.
Alex froze for a second, then suddenly looked at her chest. The Eye of Agamotto on her chest was already open, and green magical energy coiled around her hands.
He immediately understood what was happening.
"A time loop?"
His expression darkened, "You used a time loop on me?"
The Ancient One smiled, "Good thing I made preparations in advance. I didn't expect you to be stronger than yesterday. Much stronger."
"What was that ability just now? The power of the Mind Stone?"
"It actually managed to affect me. If it were an ordinary person, their mind would've been completely destroyed, reduced to a walking corpse by now."
Alex said in a low voice, "You're trying to trap me in a time loop?"
"This is the last method I could think of. Or, if you agree to leave this universe and not take the two Stones with you, I can cancel the time loop and let you go," the Ancient One proposed.
Alex stepped forward, "Then let's see who breaks first."
He suddenly rushed forward, throwing a punch at her chest, but the Sorcerer Supreme blocked it with the "Shield of the Seraphim." Immediately after, Alex unleashed a stream of golden energy, blasting her backward.
Just like that, they began fighting.
After blocking Alex's heat vision, the Ancient One waved her hands, and countless magic circles flew toward him like butterflies.
Alex floated into the air, letting the countless circles strike his body. But because of his two layers of bio-force fields, he couldn't be harmed at all.
He suddenly shot forward and threw a punch at her.
The Sorcerer Supreme reacted quickly. At some point, she had already opened a portal. With a step, she slipped into it and left the rooftop.
Alex's punch struck the rooftop of Stark Tower, sending out a violent shockwave. The force spread downward layer by layer, shattering floor after floor of the building.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Starting from the rooftop, Stark Tower collapsed one level after another, eventually turning into a heap of rubble.
Elsewhere, the Sorcerer Supreme appeared on the rooftop of another building.
Alex rose into the air and glared at her. Instantly, two golden beams shot through the sky.
Just as they were about to hit her, a portal appeared in front of her.
The heat vision went straight into the portal. At the same time, another portal opened behind Alex. With almost no delay, the golden beams came shooting out from behind him and struck his back.
Of course, Alex wasn't injured. He immediately stopped firing. When he looked again, the Sorcerer Supreme had conjured countless arms, then her figure blurred and split into countless duplicates.
The Images of Ikonn!
After creating countless duplicates, she followed up with the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak.
But this time, Alex smiled. His figure suddenly vanished and instantly appeared beside the real Ancient One.
"Mind transfer."
From the moment the battle began, Alex had already deployed his "mental domain," covering the entire Mirror Dimension.
Naturally, he had locked onto the Ancient One's mental coordinates.
Although she could create countless duplicates, and each one possessed the full strength of the original, a duplicate was still a duplicate, not a true life form. In other words, they were "mindless objects."
So in Alex's perception, her mental coordinates in the Mirror Dimension never changed.
Using mind transfer, Alex appeared right beside her and immediately grabbed her throat. With a slight twist, he snapped her neck.
He killed the Sorcerer Supreme. Twice.
Alex released his grip and let the body fall. But the next second, yet another Sorcerer Supreme descended onto the rooftop.
The moment she appeared, she cast the "Bolt of Balthakk."
Two golden bolts of lightning raced along the ground toward Alex.
Alex looked at her, his eyes lighting up. But this time, what he fired wasn't golden beams, but pitch-black rays, deep and heavy, radiating a dark aura.
"Fear Vision."
While taking the impact of the golden lightning, Alex's fear vision struck the Sorcerer Supreme at the same time.
The yellow robes on her chest were immediately stained black, turning into flakes of ash.
At the same time, the deepest fear within the Ancient One's mind was dragged out. Her expression twisted instantly, as if she had seen something terrifying.
At this moment, in her vision, Alex was gone. The Mirror Dimension was gone.
She was standing in an endless darkness.
There was no light at all. But within that darkness, something writhed, creeping toward her.
This was the Dark Dimension.
A place without light.
The very space from which the Ancient One had once drawn power in order to guard the Time Stone and resist Dormammu.
The dark beings within it were always watching her, always trying to drag her into the darkness.
And this... this was the deepest fear in her heart.
She had always resisted falling into darkness, always resisted being dragged into that lightless world.
Now, under the effect of fear vision, what she feared most seemed to have become reality.
'No!'
In that instant, cracks appeared in the Ancient One's resilient mind, something that should have been impossible. The fear vision seized the opportunity and shattered her consciousness.
And so, in Alex's eyes, her entire body turned black, then dispersed like ashes.
After the ashes vanished, yet another Sorcerer Supreme stepped out.
Endless. This was the time loop.
With his mental abilities, Alex killed the Ancient One again and again.
Within the loop of time, they kept repeating this cycle. After an unknown amount of time, when the Ancient One appeared again, her expression had grown somewhat serious.
She looked at Alex, whose expression hadn't changed at all, "Your mind is far stronger than I imagined."
Alex's lips curled into a smile, "I know what you're trying to do. You want to use the time loop to torment me until my will collapses."
"And in the end, I'll have no choice but to compromise."
"If it were me from yesterday, your chances of success would be high."
"But unfortunately, today I'm much stronger."
Alex didn't tell her that when he accepted the Mind Stone's enhancement, his consciousness had split into countless fragments. At that time, he had been on the verge of collapse, but through sheer force of will, he unified them all.
From that moment on, his will became extraordinarily firm. Combined with his "mental resistance," he no longer had any obvious weaknesses in the mental realm.
He wouldn't collapse from the time loop. At least, not anytime soon.
"That's why I said earlier, let's see who breaks first."
"Also, maybe you won't believe it, but I'm actually enjoying this kind of fight."
"Come on. Let's continue!"
The Ancient One looked at Alex, whose lips were curled upward and whose fighting spirit was burning, and began to question his mental state.
No normal person would find this "enjoyable."
