Chapter 1051: Danger Arrives
Chapter 1051: Danger Arrives
Whether it was the close surveillance of SHIELD, the search analysis by JARVIS, or the observation by the League of Defenders, they didn’t detect anything unusual. There was no trace of magical energy, and no suspicious individuals approached the Sanctum.
However, Peter, with his spider sense, had received a warning from it a minute ago that danger was approaching. Unfortunately, his spider sense couldn’t provide any more specific information. Peter didn’t know where the danger was coming from or how severe it was.
“A minute ago? Then they should have already arrived by now!” Upon hearing Peter’s reply, Lin Rui’s expression flickered with nervousness.
A lot could happen in a minute, and if Peter had sensed something a minute ago, it meant that the other party had completely evaded the surveillance and search methods of SHIELD, JARVIS, and the League of Defenders. Considering the common combat methods of Sorcerers, Lin Rui couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
At that moment, Lin Rui suddenly recalled the situation when the betrayer appeared and fought against the Ancient One in the original storyline. In the original plot, their battle was intense and wildly imaginative.
However, no matter how much they transformed the city during their fight, there would be no changes in the outside world. That was because their battle took place within the Mirror Dimension.
Therefore, if the betrayer had already covered this area with the Mirror Dimension, all the measures set up by Lin Rui and the others would be excluded from it. In other words, if the betrayer intended to, they wouldn’t be able to detect them, let alone intercept them.
Swish!
With this in mind, Lin Rui couldn’t afford to walk over casually anymore. He dashed directly onto the street. By this time, people had already been evacuated, and the appearance of Mirage Knight didn’t surprise anyone. After all, those who noticed Mirage Knight knew he was here to help.
While rushing towards the Sanctum’s location, Lin Rui also sent messages to the others, expressing his conjecture. Tony had previous experience with the Mirror Dimension, so Lin Rui believed he would know that if the betrayer used it, their preparations would be useless.
“Hmm?! Spatial energy fluctuation!” Just as Lin Rui was approaching the vicinity of the Sanctum, he suddenly sensed a faint spatial energy fluctuation.
Different from normal spatial energy, this fluctuation was more subtle and controllable. However, after carrying the Space Infinity Stone for so many days, Lin Rui was very sensitive to spatial energy. Therefore, as he ran over, he sensed the fluctuation.
“Could it be the Mirror Dimension?” Although he didn’t know if this spatial energy fluctuation was caused by the betrayer constructing the Mirror Dimension, Lin Rui didn’t have time to analyze it anymore.
Swish!
In the next moment, Lin Rui turned into a shadow and swiftly moved toward the location he sensed. Lin Rui didn’t know that just as he had dashed dozens of meters ahead, two transparent spatial energies slid past him.
In the areas crossed by these two spatial energies, every building underwent changes that defied the laws of physics. Clearly, they had all been enveloped within the Mirror Dimension.
“JARVIS, remember my location! If you can’t find me later, try using the Magic Cube!” Witnessing the miraculous changes happening around him, Lin Rui quickly sent out a message.
At the same time, Lin Rui messaged Jack, who was far away in the Himalayas. Although Lin Rui wasn’t sure if he was already isolated within the Mirror Dimension, he decided to take a gamble.
While sending out these two messages, the road he was running towards started rotating in one direction, rapidly extending towards Lin Rui’s position.
Whoosh!
As the road beneath his feet rapidly rotated ninety degrees, Lin Rui was affected by gravity and quickly lay flat on the ground, using his internal energy to prevent himself from falling.
“Damn it! Am I the only one who came in here?!” Feeling the world around him being overturned and relying on his internal energy to maintain his flight, Lin Rui couldn’t help but mutter in frustration.
They hadn’t made adequate preparations for this collaboration with the Sorcerers. Of course, even with preparations, it was highly likely they would be useful against the nearly insurmountable Mirror Dimension.
After all, only sorcerers could counteract sorcerers’ spells. And if many sorcerers were present here, the betrayer might not even make a move.
Furthermore, Lin Rui and the others had wanted to test their skills against these extraordinary sorcerers. Otherwise, after Lin Rui had anticipated the betrayer’s move, they should have stationed dozens of sorcerers near Sanctum.
Now, due to their own actions, it seemed that the sorcerers hadn’t deployed many reinforcements.
Boom!
To conserve his internal energy, Lin Rui kicked open a window of a nearby house and rushed inside. He then secured himself near the window, watching the continuously rotating world outside.
At this moment, Lin Rui felt as if he was on a swing ride in an amusement park, experiencing the exhilarating sensation of rotation and weightlessness.
Ding! Ding!
While Lin Rui was lying by the window, hoping to catch a glimpse of the betrayer, a notification sound suddenly emanated from his wristband. Surprised, Lin Rui raised his right hand and glanced at it, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement.
“JARVIS? Can you still contact me?!” It turned out that the notification sound on Lin Rui’s wristband was a communication message from JARVIS.
“I’m sorry, Jackson, but I have lost contact with the main system. It seems this space has been severed from the main world. I now only have two Iron Man suits.” In response to Lin Rui’s surprised inquiry, JARVIS’s voice came through the wristband.
Evidently, JARVIS had concealed two Iron Man suits near Sanctum from the beginning. Equipped with the systems installed by JARVIS, even if they lost contact with the main system, they would still be able to function effectively.
“Just two suits? It’s better than none at all!” Lin Rui’s eyes brightened with delight upon hearing JARVIS’s reply, though he still found some solace in it.
Lin Rui had previously fought alongside a standalone JARVIS-controlled Iron Man suit, during the mission to rescue Miss Jane Foster when they traversed the London dimensional space. Although lacking the immense capabilities of the main system, the standalone JARVIS was fully capable of executing missions.
