Snap! Another finger-snap sounded. The alternate dimension, which had just encompassed only the Blind Man, instantly expanded to include the entire Space Station, and it was still rapidly expanding.
Only after Michael's internal energy was completely depleted did this alternate dimension magic finally stop, maintaining a size of about one hundred standard football fields.
Ten thousand points of energy to expand to one hundred standard football fields? Is that one hundred points of energy per football field? Michael narrowed his eyes. This size seemed a bit different from Kamar-Taj's Mirror Dimension magic.
Kamar-Taj's Mirror Dimension is a Subspace magic that moves with the caster as its axis. This magic space is not large, but it can move, meaning that even if the Mirror Dimension is kept open, no one would notice, even if one traversed the entire Earth.
Michael's alternate dimension, while also preventing observation and touch from outside the space, similar to the Mirror Dimension, is relatively fixed. That is… a slight drawback.
However, Michael didn't mind. Such a large space was enough for combat, and moreover, alternate dimension magic changes with the strength of the caster.
The stronger the caster, the larger the space, the more stable it is, and the more destruction it can withstand! As for other aspects, alternate dimension magic and Mirror Dimension magic are… quite similar.
"White, can you hear me?"
Although Michael understood in his heart, he still tested it.
Indeed, White, who always responded to Michael, did not answer Michael's question this time, even though White's server was in a corner of the Space Station within the alternate dimension.
With a thought, ten thousand points of energy stored in the mutated gem swiftly vanished, and Michael's body was once again restored to a full state! "Heh heh, this ability is much more useful than Iron Man's Thor power bank, after all, it's fast, safe, and powerful!"
"Now, activate Heat Vision!"
Michael's eyes quickly turned red, and then two laser beams shot out from his eyes, swiftly striking the edge of the alternate dimension.
But unfortunately, besides… a slight tremor, the alternate dimension showed no other change.
Michael did not stop. He not only continued to increase energy output but also rotated rapidly. The Heat Vision beams from Michael's eyes swiftly swept across the entire alternate dimension.
But unfortunately, after Michael completely exhausted his energy, the entire alternate dimension remained stable!
"Good! Good! Continue!"
Michael was very satisfied.
Restore energy! Super Freeze Breath! Stable! Restore energy! Super Hurricane Rampage! Stable! Restore ability! Super Strength… Soon, Michael's energy reserves dwindled to the last ten thousand points, but after various tests, the alternate dimension, apart from… a slight decrease in strength, remained stable!
"Haha!!"
"Perfect! With this strength, it can definitely withstand Skye's unconscious, and even conscious, outbursts!"
"Hmm, then let's try one last thing, spatial ability against spatial ability!"
"'Space Burst magic Orb' Level One ready!"
"Fire!"
Boom!!! Amidst the flash of vast azure light, the alternate dimension, like a mirror, rapidly shattered into pieces, and with an Impact, the entire alternate dimension instantly completely collapsed!
"Uh…"
"Is this what they call fighting fire with fire?"
Michael scratched his head, not expecting the alternate dimension to shatter this way in the end.
However, seeing that the Space Station was not damaged at all, Michael felt relieved.
At least, the shattering of the alternate dimension also annihilated the power of the 'Space Burst magic Orb,' which was good!
"Tsk, you're still alive, you bastard?"
Looking at the Blind Man, who had reappeared in the Space Station due to the alternate dimension's collapse, Michael was quite speechless. Didn't I strip you of your abilities? After such violent testing, you're completely fine? In fact, Michael had forgotten that the Blind Man was behind him, and all the Impacts that could have harmed the Blind Man were absorbed by the mutated gem on Michael's body.
"White, Daddy needs to recharge again!"
Shaking his head, Michael was too lazy to care how this Blind Man, who had become an ordinary person, survived. Feeling the empty energy reserves both in his body and in the mutated gem, he walked towards his usual spot, the lounge chair…
"Indeed, the energy consumption for teleporting people is mainly related to the power level of the person being carried, isn't it?"
After restoring his energy reserves to their peak, and bringing the Blind Man, who had reverted to an ordinary person, back to Earth, Michael sensed the energy consumption in his body and found that this time, only a very, very small amount was consumed, probably only about ten times that of the rabbit from before.
But ten times a tiny bit, for Michael, who possessed vast energy, was still just a tiny bit!
With a single teleportation, he appeared in Afterlife, Michael threw the Blind Man into his own room, then with another teleportation, returned to… the observation deck of the chairman's office in the skyscraper.
Having already dispelled some of the Inhumans' location information skill books, Michael could naturally enter and exit Afterlife with ease.
As for… the Inhumans, Michael, as he had told Skye before, didn't care too much.
Whether they existed or not, it didn't matter to Michael.
Michael did this purely to deter Jiaying. Her various painful experiences had completely darkened her, making any reconciliation with ordinary people impossible. But Michael was too lazy to interfere; as long as he deterred her from causing trouble, that was enough.
How to deal with it later was Skye's business; Michael was too lazy to bother…
"Oh, have all the Terrigen Mists been absorbed? It seems I arrived just in time."
As soon as he returned to the observation deck, Michael noticed that the Terrigen Mists in the glass-encased space had completely dissipated, and Skye herself was enveloped in a round 'black cocoon' of unknown dark matter. He quickly waved his hand, collecting the entire glass enclosure into the alternate magic space.
"Hello!"
"Powerful and unknown Mr. Magician!"
Michael did not enter the alternate dimension with Skye; it seemed he was waiting for this bald woman, the Ancient One, who appeared from the halo. To be continued: For an un-underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu novel.
Earthquake Emergency Response Measures.
Earthquake Emergency Response Measures — When an earthquake occurs, high-rise buildings are safer than single-story houses. If you are in a high-rise building: Do not use elevators, and definitely do not jump from a window. Immediately move away from doors, windows, and exterior walls. Do not hide under wooden beds or tables. You can choose to hide in small, less likely to collapse spaces like the toilet, bathroom, or kitchen. You can also choose to squat in a corner next to a wardrobe, protecting your head with a cushion or similar item. This is relatively safe because if the building collapses, impacting these… large wooden objects will create a certain rebound force and an elevated space. There might be a space left near them, and the larger and sturdier the object, the larger the space left. This space is called the "triangle of life" in an earthquake.
Hiding in these places can reduce indoor casualties from 90% to 2%.
Do not panic and run out indiscriminately. When a building collapses, many people die at doorways, crushed by door frames, bricks, tiles, billboards, concrete slabs, and broken glass.
Do not use stairs either. During an earthquake, stairs and the building shake at different frequencies, causing constant structural collisions. People on the stairs are very likely to be severed by the steps, and this kind of injury is also terrifying. Moreover, panicked crowds squeezed on the stairs, besides… causing stampedes, the stairs might not be able to bear the weight and collapse.
So even if the stairs appear normal, stay away from them.
If you are using gas or electricity during an earthquake, remember to turn them off immediately before quickly taking cover. Fires caused by earthquakes are also very serious disasters, so minimize potential ignition sources.
If an earthquake occurs while you are sleeping at night, just immediately roll off the bed and lie down next to the bed. The area around the bed will be a relatively safe space, also a "triangle of life".
It's even better if you can also grab the quilt and pillow to protect your vital body parts.
