Chapter 77 Tianqi retreated in fear, and Gu Yi stared at Chen Nan!Tianqi's movements suddenly stopped! With a hint of rage and absolute contempt at being interrupted, he looked in the direction of the sound.
Not far from him, she was wearing a bright yellow monk's robe that was so simple that it was almost shabby. She had a bald head, a calm and peaceful face, and eyes as deep as an ancient well, as if containing the stars of the universe.
She stood there quietly, without emitting any powerful energy fluctuations, which was out of tune with the destructive atmosphere around her, yet strangely seemed as if she was the center of the entire world.
It was the Supreme Sorcerer - Ancient One.
"Human ants?" Apocalypse's deep purple lips curled up into an arc of extreme contempt and cruelty, and his voice was like rolling thunder with disdain looking down on the dust.
"How dare you speak God's name? Who gave you the courage to stand before God and attempt to stop His judgment?"
The purple energy churning around him became even more violent, and the destructive force field was ready to be unleashed, as if it would wipe out this ignorant "mortal" along with the entire America in the next second.
Facing Apocalypse's pressure and destructive aura that was enough to make the world tremble, Ancient One's expression did not change at all.
She just raised her right hand slightly, her movement as casual as brushing off the dust on her sleeve.
There was no earth-shattering energy fluctuation; she simply used her fingertips to lightly stroke the air in front of her.
Buzz....
The space seemed like the surface of a lake into which a stone had been thrown, rippling with circles of golden ripples visible to the naked eye.
This ripple may seem gentle, but it contains the power of absolute order that transcends dimension, time, and the understanding of revelation!
In an instant, Apocalypse felt an irresistible and incomprehensible force descending upon him!
Energy confinement!
The decomposing force field condensed in his palm, which was powerful enough to annihilate a city, disappeared in an instant like a candle flame being extinguished!
The ancient energy that remained in his body, boiling like magma, seemed to be frozen in ice, and instantly subsided, unable to stir up even a ripple!
As soon as he thought of trying to tear the space apart to escape or fight back, he felt that the space around him became as indestructible as solidified alloy, locking him firmly in place and making him unable to move!
He felt as if he was instantly torn away from the real world and placed in a void of space.
The chaotic Washington beneath his feet, the fleeing crowd, and even the flow of time and space all became blurred and disappeared!
Only the bald woman in a yellow robe in front of him was as clear as an eternal lighthouse!
A sense of absurdity and powerlessness of being temporarily isolated from the level of "existence" surged into Tianqi's heart so clearly for the first time!
What made Tianqi feel a chill deep in his soul was that at the moment she made her move, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the endless dimensions and the flowing river of time through her seemingly calm eyes!
That was an area he had never touched or even imagined in his thousands of years of conquest!
The level of power and existence represented by this "mortal" in front of him are far beyond his reach!
She didn't rely on brute force, but rather controlled the fundamental rules of the universe—time!
For the first time, Tianqi's face, covered with cracks, blackened and hideous, revealed an unconcealable horror that penetrated deep into his bones!
That is an instinctive fear of higher-dimensional power!
The destructive aura swirling around him was extinguished instantly as if it were doused in ice water, and the rage burning in his pupils was replaced by disbelief and a hint of indescribable awe.
The power he was proud of and the accumulation of thousands of years were as small as dust in front of this seemingly calm monk!
"You....Who are you?!"
For the first time, Tianqi's voice lost the arrogance of being in control of everything, and even had a barely perceptible tremor.
Ancient One's voice remained calm, yet unquestionable.
"En Shaba Noor, you have crossed a line. Your ambition to destroy the human kingdom has disturbed the balance of the real dimension."
She paused for a moment, then her gaze fell upon Apocalypse as if it were real: "Go back to your Egypt, but if you dare to reach out to the core of human civilization again!"
Ancient One's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, "I will personally banish you to the eternal void, so that you can experience firsthand what true nothingness is."
The calm words hit Apocalypse's soul like a heavy hammer. He clearly felt that Ancient One had absolute power to execute her judgment!
Apocalypse's huge body trembled slightly.
Humiliation, unwillingness, and anger surged in his chest, but in the face of the even more powerful and vast pressure, these emotions were suppressed by a cold rationality called survival instinct.
He looked deeply at Ancient One, then glanced at the world beneath his feet, which was blurry due to the separation of space...
In the end, all the emotions turned into a low roar of endless frustration and weakness.
"snort!"
Apocalypse forced himself to suppress the surging blood and humiliation, not daring to say anything more. He mobilized the only remaining weak energy in his body that was allowed to flow by Ancient One, and left this mirror world with difficulty.
In the portal, he took one last deep and complicated look at the calmly standing Ancient One, as if he wanted to carve this figure into the depths of his soul.
Then, with scars all over his body, exhausted strength and endless frustration, he stepped into the crack and disappeared.
Ancient One looked at the place where Apocalypse disappeared, and the ripples in space slowly subsided. She sighed softly, as if she had only done something insignificant.
She raised her hand again and gently brushed it towards the Washington below, which was destroyed by the power of apocalypse.
Buzz...!!
A soft green light spread like a warm tide.
Millions of people who were buried by the apocalypse were saved, and the frightened crowds seemed to have their fears soothed and celebrated their survival!
If it weren't for the whistling sand in the sky, it would be as if death and destruction had never appeared, and reality would have returned to its proper "order".
The apocalyptic world of destruction becomes blurred in the minds of ordinary people, like a brief nightmare.
Ancient One's figure disappeared silently just as it appeared, leaving behind only the frightened and bewildered crowd on the South Lawn, and the president in the underground bunker, whose face was pale and his legs were weak, as if he had just crawled back from the gates of hell.
"Ancient One actually took action! The Time Stone is indeed powerful!"
Chen Nan, who witnessed everything with his own eyes, felt deeply moved.
He was about to turn around and leave when his eyes suddenly froze.
Not far away, Ancient One, who had just returned from Egypt, was watching him quietly.
Washington escaped a complete purge for the time being, but this horrific scene undoubtedly showed that the world was teetering on the brink of the abyss.
