"call"

After a long while, Yi Shuihan finally let out a breath, feeling somewhat horrified. He had clearly come to steal the Time Stone, but now he had wasted two minutes thinking about whether the Eye of Agamotto was really an eye.

Two minutes is nothing to an ordinary person, but for a powerful person like Yi Shuihan, it's enough time to make thousands of moves.

"The Time Stone is indeed an eye, the eyes of the Avengers, but that's not the point. The point is why I'm so hung up on this. The Ancient One is indeed quite capable. This is magic that targets the mind. Because it didn't harm me personally, and because I was careless, I was able to succeed. If she weren't currently being held back by the Blood Killers, she would probably be right in front of me right now."

Soon, Yi Shuihan understood the whole story. This was one of Gu Yi's protective measures, designed to buy her time to come over.

“She probably didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Not only am I being entangled, but even if she comes back immediately, I can just break off all pretense of civility, and she won’t be able to do anything to me.”

Yi Shuihan is not afraid of the Ancient One. Even though the Ancient One is very powerful and can use the Time Stone, Yi Shuihan also has the power of time. Moreover, he believes that the time power he can use is definitely greater than that of the Ancient One. When it comes to a contest of raw strength, Yi Shuihan is even less afraid.

Reaching Agamotto, Yi Shuihan reached out and grabbed the chains wrapped around it. Instantly, a flash of light appeared, and the chains emitted a strong electric current. This current was extremely high voltage; an ordinary person could be instantly electrocuted into a charred corpse, and anyone below silver would surely die. Even silver could be damaged to some extent.

Unfortunately, this had no effect on Yi Shuihan. With a slight effort, the chain broke, and the Eye of Agamotto was completely in Yi Shuihan's hands.

Yi Shuihan, having obtained the Eye of Agamotto, did not rush to study it. His first action was to store it in the Divine Might Space he had recently created.

"Hmm? It won't fit! Let's try the storage space in the Main God Space."

The second attempt also failed. It wasn't that the storage space of the Main God Space was inadequate, but rather that the Time Stone was truly important to this world, which was why it couldn't be collected. Most importantly, Yi Shuihan's own level was insufficient, and his storage space capabilities were not strong enough. He had heard that some reincarnators could even directly collect the Heavenly Dao using their storage space.

Unable to collect it, Yi Shuihan could only put it in his pocket and then create a seal on the surface to isolate its aura. Whether it would actually work was another matter.

Once outside the secret room, Yi Shuihan rushed towards the New York battlefield at top speed, without wasting a single moment.

......

"This crazy woman is really strong, Captain, I can't hold on much longer."

"Even if we can't hold on, we must hold on. Just wait a little longer. As soon as we break through this mirror space, we'll immediately detonate the antimatter bomb and blow her to heaven."

"Zhang Yue, hurry up and heal me! I only have a sliver of health left. If I die, you'll be next."

This place is exactly the same as the rest of New York, the only difference being that there aren't as many people here as in real New York. Besides the Ancient One, there are members of the Blood Killing Squad, and two members of the Blood Killing Squad have died here. Of course, the most numerous people lying on the ground are the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj.

Facing off against the Ancient One was a teammate wielding a shield. He was covered in blood and looked extremely disheveled. Opposite him, the Ancient One kept attacking, unleashing wave after wave of magic. However, no matter which direction the magic was aimed at, it would inexplicably crash into the shield.

The person with the shield is the main tank (MT) of the Blood Kill Squad. He's not particularly strong in any other areas, but he has one special skill: he can withstand attacks. Combined with the Black Pot Shield, he becomes a top-tier MT.

The Black Pot Shield has a special ability: it can lock onto three targets. Any attack from these three targets can only be directed at the Black Pot Shield. Unless the shield-wielder dies, these three locked targets will not be able to harm anyone else.

Chapter 1173, Secret Technique - Demonization

Another magical attack struck the black cauldron shield, causing the MT holding the shield to stagger and cough up blood, almost collapsing.

Just then, a beam of white light struck his back directly from behind. MT's weakened body calmed down as if injected with a stimulant, regaining its stability.

"I don't have much magic left. I can only perform 8 more healing spells at most, but it looks like that should be enough."

Zhang Yue, the priest of the Blood Kill Squad, had half his face covered, his hair was very long, and only one eye was visible.

Currently, only MT and Zhang Yue are fighting the Ancient One. The other three, Uchiha Jia, Xuan Kun, and Xuan Ying, are attacking space from the side.

Uchiha Kaga has a certain talent for spatial manipulation thanks to his Sharingan, allowing him to find weak points in space. Xuan Kun and Xuan Ying then attack based on the weak points he finds.

The Ancient One knew that the Blood Killers wanted to break the Mirror Space. She wasn't doing nothing; she kept moving to the weak points in the space. However, she was multitasking and obviously couldn't stop the Blood Killers. Once she stopped attacking, they would attack her. When she attacked, she focused on maintaining the Mirror Space, giving the Blood Killers the opportunity to break it.

The deaths of many sorcerers in Kamar-Taj filled the Ancient One with deep guilt. She remembered Yi Shuihan's warning but hadn't taken these people seriously. If she had brought the Eye of Agamotto with her when she came, things wouldn't have come to this.

During the battle, the Ancient One sensed that something was wrong at the Eye of Agamotto, but she couldn't go back immediately because the matter at hand was more important.

These outsiders are not weak. She has the upper hand, but she cannot defeat them in a short time. Moreover, these people just took out something very terrifying, which made her feel uneasy. If these people escape outside the mirror space, it will definitely cause unimaginable consequences.

Gu Yi's sense of danger was extremely accurate, which is why she attacked desperately and tried to shift the weak points in the space.

While the two sides were locked in fierce combat, Yi Shuihan finally returned to New York.

Outside the mirror space, the New York Sanctum was in ruins and had been sealed off by the police, with many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents investigating the scene.

"Fortunately, there's still time."

On a building not far from the New York Temple, Yi Shuihan breathed a sigh of relief and began to sense the Mirror Space. If he hadn't studied the Space Stone, it would have been a bit difficult for him to sense it. However, now, in less than a second, he sensed the Mirror Space and then took a step and disappeared from the spot.

Everywhere you look, there are ruins and rubble, a desolate scene.

"The Mirror Space is actually as big as the entire city of New York! The Ancient One is truly amazing!"

After a moment of reflection, Yi Shuihan turned his gaze eastward. A dozen miles away, massive energy reactions were constantly occurring; that was where Gu Yi and the others were fighting.

A moment later, Yi Shuihan understood the situation and realized that the situation was at a stalemate. Gu Yi had no way to deal with the Blood Kill Squad, and the Blood Kill Squad members also had no way to deal with Gu Yi for the time being.

"Why not just detonate the antimatter bomb here? They must be afraid that the Ancient One will just use teleportation to leave. Besides, if they detonate it here, the Blood Killers might not be able to escape either. This Mirror Space is not simple! It takes a lot of effort to enter the Divine Might Space."

With his gaze fixed on Xuan Kun, who was diligently attacking the weak points in space, Yi Shuihan felt that if he made a move now, there was probably a 90% chance he could kill him. However, if he did that, he would not achieve his goal of weakening Gu Yi, and he would have to return to the Main God Space after killing Xuan Kun to complete his mission, leaving him no time to study the Time Stone.

"It would be best to severely injure Xuan Kun, capture him, and kill him at the very end."

Shifting his gaze, Yi Shuihan looked at the MT blocking the attack. He felt that the breakthrough was here. As long as he could get something done to the MT, the Blood Kill Squad would have to reveal some of their trump cards. At that time, both the Blood Kill Squad and the Ancient One would be weakened.

Although the Blood Kill Squad appeared to be in a sorry state, they were not actually at their wits' end and remained within a controllable range, as could be seen from the fact that the captain of the Blood Kill Squad did not seem particularly anxious.

What Yi Shuihan needs to do now is to push the Blood Slaughter Squad, and ideally force them to reveal all their trump cards and expose their strength to the public.

Without hesitation, Yi Shuihan quietly approached the vicinity of the battlefield and unleashed an invisible shockwave in a split second. To avoid being detected, Yi Shuihan concealed the shockwave. Normally, these people would easily spot it, but now that the battle was intense, the probability of being discovered was not high.

The magic hit the shield, and the MT was once again weakened. At this point, Zhang Yue should have been there to heal him so he could continue to hold on, but this time the healing did not happen because Zhang Yue himself was caught in the shockwave from Yi Shuihan.

The shockwave didn't kill Zhang Yue outright, but instead sent him flying, interrupting his spellcasting.

In that instant, the Ancient One seized the opening and quickly cast a spell. Another spell appeared, and facing the spell coming at him, MT threw the black pot shield in his hand and barely managed to jump and dodge it.

The magical light struck the black cauldron shield, sending it flying hundreds of meters away.

"not good."

"Damn it, why is it still like this?"

This happened very suddenly, and by the time they realized what was happening, it was too late for Xuan Kun and the others to come to their rescue.

"You guys continue, I'll go distract her."

The Blood Kill Squad leader, Xuan Ying, acted decisively and charged towards the Ancient One. As he ran at high speed, his body rapidly grew larger, and finally, demon horns grew on his head, and his body became completely demonized.

"Secret technique?"

Yi Shuihan was quite knowledgeable and immediately recognized Xuan Ying's state, which was that he had used a transformation technique.

The demonized Xuan Ying actually grew several times larger, appearing incredibly intimidating.

"A dark creature!?"

Gu Yi didn't know this was a transformation technique, but instead mistook the Black Eagle's current state for its true form, and her expression became very serious.

Chapter 1174, Betrayal

"Tsk tsk, that's quite an impressive display! It's almost as powerful as mine."

The demonized Blackhawk engaged in close combat with the Ancient One, probably because he thought the Ancient One, as a sorcerer, wouldn't be very good at close combat. In fact, that was the case; the Ancient One was no match for Blackhawk in close combat.

Close combat wasn't an option, and the Ancient One didn't necessarily have to engage in close combat. She simply used magic to create distance, instantly accelerating to another position every time the Black Eagle approached, always maintaining a certain distance from the Black Eagle, and then steadily dealing damage.

"With that kind of fighter jet control, combined with that special footwork, Xuan Ying has been completely figured out!"

Aside from the initial chaos caused by Xuan Ying, Xuan Ying was practically unable to touch her after she changed her tactics. Although the high speed of the battle prevented her from unleashing powerful magic, even weak spells still managed to inflict some damage on Xuan Ying. These injuries accumulated, and Xuan Ying was bound to be defeated sooner or later.

Without Xuan Ying as an attacker, it would take much longer for Xuan Kun and Uchiha Jia to break through the mirror space. With this shift in power, the situation for the Blood Kill Squad became critical.

"kindness?"

Suddenly, Yi Shuihan's expression changed, because he noticed that the team member whose shockwave had hit him had stood up, but did not immediately go to help, as if he was planning something.

"That shockwave just now definitely wasn't emitted by her. That means there was a third party involved. It's most likely the Reincarnator who was chasing Xuan Kun. This is troublesome."

Zhang Yue used his spiritual power to continuously explore the surroundings, but he found nothing.

Compared to Xuan Ying, Zhang Yue and the other ordinary team members didn't really care about Xuan Kun. If Xuan Kun's death would make them safer, they would kill him without hesitation. Even if Xuan Ying, the captain, could save their own lives with his death, they would do the same.

Among the reincarnators, there are indeed teammates who are bound by life and death, but more often they are treacherous and selfish. The members of the Blood Kill Squad clearly belong to the latter category. If Xuan Ying hadn't been so powerful and the captain, Xuan Kun would probably have been betrayed long ago.

"Zhang Yue, come over here quickly and let's attack the weak points in the space together."

Xuan Kun used all his strength to attack the weak point in the space. Seeing Zhang Yue standing alone not far away, he was furious and spoke to him rather rudely.

"Hey! I'm not dead yet! Treat me first."

A hoarse voice rang out; it was the team's MT. He had barely dodged a fatal blow earlier, but he was already seriously injured, and the forced dodge brought him to the brink of death. He had only just recovered a little strength and could shout a word; now, he could barely move.

Zhang Yue's eyes flashed, and then he walked towards MT. In fact, he could have used the healing spell on the spot, but considering that someone might attack from the shadows, he decided to walk to MT's side to heal him. If anything went wrong, he could use MT as a shield. There is no darker mind than this.

"What a bunch of useless fools! They couldn't even stop that old hag. We were so close to succeeding."

Zhang Yue didn't listen to him and instead chose to treat MT. Although Xuan Kun knew it was the right choice, he was still very unhappy and kept cursing. He didn't notice the strange look that Uchiha Kaga was giving him next to him.

"Young Master Kun, give it your all! The weak point is about to give way. At most, you'll break through in three more tries. Although the captain can't do anything to that old hag, she no longer has the strength to control the weak point. As expected, the captain is powerful."

"That's right, if my brother isn't strong, who is?"

Xuan Kun looked proud and gave Uchiha a look that said, "You know what's good for you."

Taking a breath, Xuan Kun's body radiated a bright crimson light, and his hands moved rapidly, sending streaks of crimson light crashing into the weak points in the space.

A "crack" sound rang out, clearly audible throughout the entire Mirror Space. The Blood Kill Squad members were overjoyed, while the Ancient One's expression changed. This was the sound of the Mirror Space about to collapse.

The Mirror Space was forced to retreat, and the Ancient One also suffered a certain degree of backlash, which reduced her spellcasting speed. At this point, Xuan Ying was able to fight her on equal terms, but instead of continuing the fight, Xuan Ying quickly moved towards the broken part of the Mirror Space.

"withdraw."

In real-life New York, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and before people could even be surprised, several strangely dressed people ran out of it.

"Uchiha Kaga, open the Kamui dimension and let us in."

"Xuan Ying commanded."

"Okay, Captain."

Uchiha Kagami nodded, and a ripple appeared in front of him, revealing a passage large enough for one person to enter.

Just as they emerged, Xuan Ying detonated the bomb. A few seconds later, the explosion would break through the mirror space and descend into reality.

"Xiao Kun, you go in first."

In the heat of the moment, Xuan Ying didn't even notice that something was wrong with Uchiha Ga. Normally, Uchiha Ga could open a passage that was much larger than this, easily accommodating at least two people at the same time.

After Xuan Kun entered, Xuan Ying was about to follow, but the passage in front of him rapidly shrank and disappeared instantly.

"you wanna die."

Xuan Ying's expression changed. Seeing Uchiha Ka's rapidly departing figure, he immediately understood that Uchiha Ka had betrayed him.

At this moment, the antimatter bomb had already exploded in the mirror space and was about to appear in the real space. If Xuan Ying did not enter Uchiha Ga's Kamui space, he would definitely be seriously injured or even die.

Enraged, Xuan Ying's demonic body doubled in size again, and he hurled a huge black ball of light at Uchiha Kaga.

"This attack is aimed at me..."

The ball of light exploded around Uchiha Kagami, directly affecting his entry into the Kamui dimension. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and a look of despair flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, do you really think I have no defenses against you?"

Xuan Ying's mind was no longer on Uchiha Ka. He took a deep breath and his body instantly transformed into a streak of light, crashing directly into the ground and creating a huge, bottomless crater.

What people couldn't see was that the Black Eagle was rapidly advancing towards the ground, clearly trying to use the earth's cover to reduce the damage from the antimatter bomb.

"Thank you for saving me, sir."

Uchiha Kaga respectfully said to Yi Shuihan that just now Yi Shuihan suddenly appeared beside him, and then in the next instant they were thousands of meters away, escaping from the center of the explosion.

Chapter 1175, Rescuing the Enemy

Yi Shuihan glanced at Uchiha Kaka indifferently. If Xuan Kun hadn't been still inside the other party's Kamui dimension, Yi Shuihan would never have saved him. After all, if he died, Xuan Kun would probably die too, and then he wouldn't have time to study the Time Stone.

Seeing Yi Shuihan's cold attitude, Uchiha Ka could only smile awkwardly, a flash of resentment in his eyes. However, facing Yi Shuihan, a monster who was stronger than their entire team, he dared not resist even without a contract.

Under the explosion of the antimatter bomb, the mirror space was almost defenseless. Five seconds after Yi Shuihan saved Uchiha Ka, white flames burst out from the void and instantly arrived in front of Yi Shuihan.

Uchiha Kaga directly entered a state of intangibility, but when the flames swept past, the space became extremely unstable, and his face turned extremely pale. In the end, he gritted his teeth and hid in the Kamui dimension.

Yi Shuihan fared much better. Although he was also in a ethereal state, he was able to maintain it and even had the mind to observe the power of the explosion.

"As expected, the Ancient One did not leave, but was limiting the blast radius of the antimatter bomb."

The mirror space had mostly disappeared, and the Ancient One stood in the void. In front of her was a huge white energy sphere, which was spinning continuously and exerting a tremendous attraction. The flames that had spread due to the explosion were slowed down by this attraction, and some were even drawn towards it, making the white energy sphere even bigger.

The power of the antimatter bomb was beyond imagination. Even with the Ancient One's full efforts, she still could not stop its spread. At most, the spread would be slower and the range smaller.

"At this rate, the whole of New York will be destroyed!"
