The sound was like thunder, shaking the very barrier of the real dimension!
As soon as the voice fell, five massive figures outlined in silver-white energy appeared in the dark red shadows.
They sat in five directions, surrounding the tiny figure below—
like predators staring at food on a plate.
The thorns and the World Tree had already vanished.
Russell looked up, but there was no fear in his eyes… not even surprise.
It was as if he had expected this moment.
At this time, the ancient god wearing a dark winged helmet, radiating a suffocating aura, spoke:
"I am Toranos, the God of Storms, and I will give you death!"
He was like a transcendent version of Thor!
In the blink of an eye, a lightning pillar that seemed to pierce through the entire world descended from the depths of existence!
With supreme might, countless bolts of thunder spread out like branches, exploding in every direction. The surrounding dimensional space could not withstand it and collapsed, revealing pure nothingness!
In the real dimension, Thor's heart trembled.
At that moment, he finally understood what the true power of thunder was!
Compared to the Storm God in front of him, he was nothing more than a pitiful clown. Every time he had wielded lightning before, it had been an insult to the very name of Thor!
Too powerful!
Perhaps Ragnarök was inevitable after all.
And yet… there were four more beings of this level!
Despair clawed at his chest.
Tony's scalp tingled as a cold sweat ran down his back.
This was the first time he had witnessed such a high-level being act at such close range.
Just by looking, he felt as if his soul might be annihilated. It was impossible to imagine what it would mean to actually face that power head-on.
Could Russell really resist this?
The first lightning pillar instantly engulfed the small figure.
In that blinding storm, nothing could be seen—only heard.
A sound like shattering glass rang out.
The next second, four cracks appeared in the dark space, dividing the five colossal shadowy gods into separate worlds!
Tony, in his role as the Supreme Sorcerer, was dumbfounded by the sight. His eyes widened as he muttered in shock:
"This… this is impossible! How can he do this?"
Thor didn't understand what had just happened, but seeing Tony's reaction, he quickly asked:
"What happened?!"
Tony swallowed hard, his voice hoarse:
"This is a Mirror Dimension spell. Its essence isn't to create a new world, but to reshape the mirror dimension that already exists. No matter how you change it, there's only ever supposed to be one world!
"But now… the mirror dimension has been forcibly divided and turned into a cage!"
"This kind of terrifying spatial manipulation may have already surpassed the power of the Space Stone!"
Thor didn't understand most of that, but he did understand what the Space Stone was.
His expression instantly shifted to one of disbelief.
Under such a terrifying lightning strike, the man not only survived, but counterattacked with space magic beyond imagination.
Thor finally realized—he had gravely underestimated his opponent's strength.
At that moment, a faint voice echoed:
"Calculation? Planning? Success?"
"Heh… if you were truly smart, you would have killed me the instant you noticed me."
"That was your only chance at success!"
"You know, I've always liked what Dormammu once said—
that there is a gap between beings."
"Now, I have something to say to you—
you pathetic wastes who can only hide in the shadows, feeding on Ragnarök's energy again and again."
"There is a gap between dimensions themselves!"
Boom!
Another thunderclap exploded instantly!
The storms from the five divided dimensions gathered together, flowing into the hands of five Russells.
That's right—five Russells!
Each raised a crimson thorn spear, identical in form, brimming with stolen thunder energy.
In one of the dimensions, the ancient god wearing a horned helmet and glowing red eyes sneered:
"A gap?"
"From you?!"
He slowly lifted his right arm. Terrifying power surged through his muscles, and the entire dimension trembled.
This was the God of War.
Meanwhile, in the other four dimensions, the Storm God, the God of Deception, the Mother Goddess, and the God of Knowledge began to unleash their own power.
But before they could act, golden light erupted across all five dimensions.
Everything it touched froze solid.
In an instant, the five shadowed gods stiffened in place.
They were powerful enough to resist temporal effects—whether acceleration, reversal, or even stasis. Time itself held little sway over them.
But if time itself ceased to exist… what could they resist with?
They were not like Mephisto, who could ignore time within his own hellish domain.
Nor were they like the Crimson Lord, Cyttorak, who could transcend all constraints.
This was their weakness!
At the same time, blue snowflake-like runes appeared within Russell's eyes, reflecting in the pupils of the shadow gods.
Within their spiritual worlds, the north wind howled—dragging them into an eternal winter.
A double assault of reality and mind!
The five ancient gods froze in place like statues of ice.
The next moment, five crimson thorn spears streaked across dimensions like meteors, fusing into a colossal weapon that pierced their bodies.
From the wounds, death energy erupted violently.
Cracks spread across their forms, draining their colors until they looked like shattered porcelain.
Snap!
With a crisp snap of fingers, the five shadow gods shattered completely.
Red flames burst forth from their fragments, reducing them to ashes in an instant.
Reality.
Across tens of thousands of timelines, all who witnessed this—including the Aesir gods—were utterly shaken, their minds unable to process what they had just seen.
Dead?
No… not just dead.
They had been instantly killed!
From the moment the lightning column struck, to Russell's counterattack, only a dozen seconds had passed.
These shadow gods, who hung over them like swords of doom, had been annihilated in an instant.
The Supreme Tony Stark clutched his head with both hands, unable to believe his eyes.
Otherwise—how could something so utterly impossible, so incomprehensible, be real?!
Too strong.
Far, far too strong.
Even in a dream, he wouldn't dare imagine such power!
Then, a low rumble rolled across the void.
The divided dimensions slowly collapsed, and the Shadow Realm re-emerged.
The five Russells merged back into one.
But there was no joy in his expression.
Because… it had been too easy.
The multiverse had already evolved. Beings were no longer ordinary creatures. Life itself had transformed.
Such entities should not die so simply.
Then—Russell noticed.
The shadows thickened.
No… they weren't just darker.
They were overlapping.
Moments later, five familiar silhouettes emerged once more.
A voice rang out again, deep and mocking:
"Haha… you are indeed powerful. More than I expected."
"But unfortunately—"
"You will never be able to kill us!"
