Chapter 366: The Power of the Primordial Stone
If circumstances allowed, Michael didn't really want to use the power of the Reality Primordial.
Realistic armor driven by rough stones is his biggest hole card so far, and this trip to hell will face a true god-level opponent, Mephisto, no matter how well prepared he is. So naturally, the nanocontainer that stored the reality armor was carried by him before leaving.
The best-case scenario is that they can win this battle without relying on these "plug-ins" and relying on the strength of the four of them.
Yes, plug-ins, that's what Michael thinks about these stones. The use of these things is one's one thing, and the ability of the rough stone itself is not very friendly to the laws of nature.
After all, he was a mage from Kama Taj, and Michael had not forgotten the teachings of the Ancient One to his disciples on upholding the law. It's okay to modify the law a little bit for your own use in extremely specific situations where you have no choice, but most of the time it's still the mage's duty to uphold the law.
You modify reality, and reality will always fight back somewhere else. Play with time, and time will play with you.
However, it is clear that if you don't show your hole cards at this point, you may not have a chance. Even Michael had to admit that Mephisto was a bit stronger than he expected in Hell Territory. And seeing that Michael's side directly lit up the reality primordial stone, he simply stopped inking, and activated the time primordial stone without thinking about it.
The Ancient One still praised Michael in his deathbed confession, and it seemed that she still felt that Michael was the best of all the disciples she had taught. Coupled with Michael's own profound magical attainments, Strange has always trusted Michael's judgment to this day.
If even he felt that the situation had reached the point where he needed to bend the rules to fight, then Strange felt that there was nothing to hesitate about.
The sound of explosions in mid-air was still rumbling in resound, and the Hellfire and Primordial Energy exploded one after another. The originally dark red sky was now illuminated incomparably brighter, red and bright, as if there was thunder and lightning churning behind the clouds.
Red rays and flames surrounded each other, and even the demon's huge body was almost engulfed. The steel figure dragged a banner-like cloak through it, beams of energy tearing through the space and blasting wildly with hellfire.
The levitation cloak flew behind Doctor Strange, the Eye of Agomoto on his chest opened, and green mana wrapped around his arms like vines, forming dial-like rings on his wrists. He soared into the air and rushed headlong into the battle circle, green magic breaking through the flames and storms in front of him.
He flipped his palms, and his magic condensed into a green sword, slashing straight at Mephisto as if it were going through everything!
Mephisto was fighting fiercely with Michael, when he sensed a strange energy attack, and his face couldn't help but change suddenly. He turned around and grabbed the sword with his bare hands, but even he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the incomparable energy in the sword. Mephisto roared in pain, and the power from the depths of his body turned into flames pouring out from his palm. The flames ruthlessly shattered the spell blades, and the scorching storm temporarily pushed Doctor Strange back.
But it didn't come without a price. Mephisto nearly lost consciousness in half of his arm, and the energy of Agamotto's Eye cut a pitch-black crack along his palm to his elbow. The remnants of the primordial energy were raging in the wounds, and his demonic body could not recover in a short time.
Mephisto was horrified. This is not just a shame anymore, it is a real injury, a real threat to his eternal life!
A terrifying thought, bordering on absurdity, gradually and irrefusiably took over the demon's mind.
He could die.
Strange was temporarily forced out of the way, and Michael's side had stepped up the offensive again. The long tail flame cut through the space, and Michael's armor broke through the supersonic speed almost the moment it started. He twisted as he flew under Mephisto's arm, tilted his head forward, and opened multiple firing muzzles at the wrists of both hands at once. The primordial energy was dispersed into countless scattered light projectiles that flew towards Mephisto, exploding a large curtain of light from his waist to his chest.
The pain was even more burning and intense than before. Mephisto let out a strange distorted cry, full of pain and fury.
Michael flew under him, and in an instant he felt something hit his armor. His body suddenly crooked, like a steel cannonball fired diagonally into a small hill. The two rocks were shattered by his body with a thud, and he rolled and fell heavily to the ground, a clear pain coming from all over his body.
Multiple contusions, possibly one or two to the bone...... This is quite rare.
Version 2.0 of the Realistic Armor applies some 41st century technology, adaptively activating the energy shield the moment it is attacked by any form of energy. The difference is that the driving energy of this armor is the Reality Primordial, so the shield is naturally constructed from the Primordial Energy. In addition, the armor shell is also made of vibranium material, and its defensive power is actually much stronger than the armor of the Divine Domain.
But it was clear that even that could not completely neutralize the power of Mephisto's fury blow.
"Give Me !! Death"
Mephisto lost his calm and grace, and even his interest in "taking the soul of the other party" vanished. He just wanted to blast this mage to scum now, along with the primordial stone......
The blood-red light curtain enveloped the heavens and the earth in an instant, and there was no point in dodging and evading, it was an offensive that could not be avoided at all. With just one touch, any living thing will be destroyed by that force, not even the soul.
The energy core on the chest of the suit lit up red, and the rough stone buried deep in it sent energy outward at full power. The magic power condensed into a magic circle in Michael's palm, and he threw his palms upwards violently, and the red primordial energy gushed out like a long river, quickly constructing an incomparably huge red magic array.
This time there were no explosions and roars, and no earth-shattering outbursts. The moment Mephisto's power hit the circle, it was as if it had been disintegrated and dissipated, and the divine power contained in it dissipated out of thin air under some kind of power to control the law.
Mephisto was even more surprised, it was a blow that contained all his power, and if it broke out, even the entire space of hell would collapse! However, it hit the opponent's weird magic circle, and it was like being swallowed by a black hole, and it had no effect.
But only temporarily.
Michael couldn't hold out for long. He was half-kneeling, the structure in his right arm's armor already starting to scream, and the circuit board crackled and sparks. The Primogem had been sustaining its maximum output for too long, and it might be difficult for either his armor or his own body to last much longer.
But he didn't need to stay in the way for much longer.
Soft and eerie green waves swept across the battlefield, and a whole new realm loomed over the battle. Mephisto's blasted energy slowed down suddenly, to a near halt, like a rushing torrent frozen in water.
Mephisto's entire movement slowed down, and it looked like a slow motion in a movie, as if it was ...... It was as if his time had been frozen.
