Cheating

Thank You 'Fateee' & 'Cooldad King' for becoming my pa*tron.

In response to Zane's questioning, the Ancient One remained expressionless, but a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in his eyes. Obviously, he had experienced something similar before.

"Outsider, the consequences of changing the future are terrifying. The previous lizard invasion in New York City is the best example. Trust me, Peter is an essential part of the future."

"Before, I questioned my own choices and then, like you are doing now, changed a bit of the future, allowing that man named Hitler to live. The result, as you should know, was the outbreak of World War II, countless lives lost in the flames of war, and the entire world stained with blood."

(Note: The mention of Hitler is purely the author's invention.)

"Outsider, you are special. I cannot see your future. Even Peter, under your influence, has deviated from his original trajectory. I am not sure whether your impact on the future is good or bad, but the butterfly effect has already begun. The lizard army invading New York is just the beginning. The subsequent impacts will only get bigger, and in the end, the destruction of the world is not impossible."

"Hehe, that's none of my business. I just know that you're annoying me right now." Zane smirked disdainfully.

"In the end, it's still the one with the big fist who has the qualifications to talk about reason. Come on, let's settle this under my hands."

Ancient One sighed lightly, said nothing more, and directly opened the mirrored space before stepping in. Zane followed suit, stepping into the space without hesitation.

It felt like passing through a thin curtain of water. Although the mirrored space was the Ancient One's domain, Zane was not afraid at all. With over 30,000 resurrection experiences, he could exhaust even the Ancient One.

Besides, Zane didn't want to engage in a battle with the Ancient One in his own company. Judging by their strengths, if they fought here, this place would definitely become ruins by the next morning.

After entering the mirrored space, the Ancient One immediately unleashed her magic to manipulate the entire space. The Building of Skynet Technologies in the mirrored space split into two halves and crashed towards Zane.

Zane decisively activated the [King's Treasury], and countless giant swords shot out, smashing the building into pieces. However, this wasn't the end. Zane didn't like being hit without retaliation. The [King's Treasury], currently stored few weapons, and their firing rate was slow. While effective against hordes of cannon fodder, it was unlikely to even touch the Ancient One.

So, Zane decisively activated the A-rank skill he had just drawn, [Son of Light]. He allowed it to output the maximum energy his body could currently withstand, shooting out a beam of light as thick as a water bucket directly at the Ancient One. Dazzling light filled the entire space in an instant, and countless building debris obstructed by the light were vaporized upon contact.

Facing Zane's attack, the Ancient One's expression changed slightly.

If a person from his Earth was here he would surely say "You're not playing by the rules! Who starts with a big move like this? Aren't we supposed to exchange hundreds of rounds first?"

[Son of Light] truly deserved to be the ultimate move for Ultraman against monsters. Once unleashed, it was almost a guaranteed hit because the attack speed of [Son of Light] was the speed of light, and how many could escape that?

Moreover, the instantaneous penetrating power and high temperature upon hitting the target were no less than a high-yield nuclear bomb. However, this was the effect when Ultraman used it. Zane couldn't achieve that yet, but the power was still astonishing.

At the moment before Zane launched the attack, the Ancient One had a feeling of being stared at by a fierce beast. This feeling was not unfamiliar to her; she had the same feeling facing Dormammu. Intuition told her that she couldn't dodge Zane's attack this time. Without defense, she would die.

Without hesitation, Ancient One made use of the infinite magical energy in the mirrored space to construct the most powerful magic shield she could currently build. However, when the shield was halfway constructed, the attack had already arrived. The magic shield was instantly shattered and reverted to the most basic magic particles. But more than half of the [Son of Light] beam was still intact.

The physical body of a magician was fragile in all worlds, and this was a universally acknowledged truth. Gandalf in "The Lord of the Rings" who used a wand to whittle away people was, after all, an oddity among magicians.

Unsurprisingly, Ancient One's chest was instantly blasted with a transparent large hole. Even from a distance, Zane could smell a nauseating scent of roasted flesh, the result of Ancient One's internal organs being instantly cooked by the high temperature.

However, even after being pierced through her chest, the Ancient One's face showed no panic or fear. A green light flashed, and the Ancient One appeared unscathed in her original position. Even her clothes had returned to their original state.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Zane's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

'I want to report that someone is using rollback cheats here, disrupting the game balance.' Zane complained inwardly.

But the battle had to continue. Zane couldn't give up just because Ancient One was playing unfairly. As Ancient One, who had just died once, was hit by Zane's beam, she directly folded the mirrored space, smashing not just a building this time, but the entire Queen's district.

Watching this apocalyptic scene, veins bulging on Zane's forehead, he pushed the [King's Treasury] to the extreme. In the space behind him, nearly 2,000 ripples appeared directly. The intense outbreak seemed to make the air tremble. Zane's eardrums burst instantly. This was not the end; countless debris followed gravity and fell. Zane had to stay focused and continue using the [King's Treasury] to shatter these remnants.

Just when Zane cleared the entire sky and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Ancient One, holding a fan made of magic, teleported through space folding, appearing next to Zane. At this moment, Zane was at the end of his old power and the new power had not yet emerged, equivalent to the cooldown time of his skills in modern terms.
