The Space Compression Cannon can not only compress air but also other things like liquids, energy, and so on. As long as it doesn't exceed the caster's control, they can compress whatever they wish.
Of course, it's best not to compress solid objects like mountains or mountain ranges. If these things are compressed, can they expand back? Imagine, originally using spatial compression to grasp a mountain, intending to make it explode unexpectedly and crush the target with a mountain.
But in the end, who would have thought! The spatial force compressed the mountain into a 'true refined earth'. When the spatial force was removed, what would the enemy's reaction be upon seeing a small sphere suddenly appear before them? Would they charge forward and let this small, yet incredibly heavy, sphere crush them? Presumably, as long as the enemy wasn't brain-damaged, they wouldn't do that!
They might even turn around and mock you, which isn't out of the question... Michael didn't expect the 'Space Compression Cannon' to heavily injure Ancient One.
Firstly, the Mirror Dimension was Ancient One's home ground. Michael continuously captured and compressed air, and Ancient One couldn't possibly not sense it. Ancient One wouldn't allow Michael to compress indefinitely.
Secondly, Ancient One, as the Sorcerer Supreme, didn't have many pieces of equipment, but they were absolutely top-tier! Although Michael had only manifested and learned Space magic, his imprinted memories naturally included some basic knowledge of crafting magical artifacts.
With Michael's limited knowledge, he couldn't discern the grade of Ancient One's artifacts, but could items worn by the Sorcerer Supreme be ordinary goods? What's more, Ancient One's robe, belt, prayer beads, and boots all emitted extremely powerful magic fluctuations!
... "Space Mages are indeed the most troublesome!"
Frowning, Ancient One simultaneously conjured a... light shield to block the barrage of Space magic Michael was launching, while also rushing towards Michael's direction.
Michael wasn't surprised that a mere 'light shield' could block his Space magic attacks.
After all, she was the Sorcerer Supreme, possessing unfathomable Space magic abilities. What appeared to be a 'light shield' on the surface—was it truly just a light shield? Or rather, was it *merely* a light shield?
However, seeing Ancient One approaching closer and closer, Michael didn't immediately turn to create distance. Instead, he cast a Space Mage specialized spell: 'Horizon Shrink'!
Low-level Space magic like Space Blade and Spatial Wave Slash can be learned and cast by any mage with some affinity for spatial power.
But the 'Horizon Shrink' Space magic can only be cast by a Space Mage, or rather, only by a Space Mage specializing in Space magic! This demonstrates the Space Mage's powerful comprehension and control over spatial abilities!
Horizon Shrink, as the name suggests, makes a seemingly close distance actually so far that you could run until you die and still not reach the Space Mage.
And now, the Space magic Michael cast on Ancient One was naturally 'Horizon Shrink'!
Watching Ancient One run and run, yet unable to close the distance between them, Michael almost couldn't hold back a laugh and nearly dispelled the 'Space Compression Cannon'.
Good heavens, it wouldn't matter if it dispersed, but it absolutely couldn't disperse near him. Otherwise, if he failed to injure the enemy but injured himself first, that would be hilarious.
Of course, Ancient One, also a master of Space magic, quickly discovered the problem. She even directly dispelled the light sword in her hand; a light sword that couldn't hit anyone was useless! She only kept a... light shield, blocking the continuous stream of 'trash' spatial slashes Michael was sending her way. Hmm, to Ancient One, they were trash.
While maintaining the 'light shield', Ancient One also wore a solemn expression. She also knew the 'Horizon Shrink' Space magic! She even knew the difficulty of mastering such a spatial ability!
Ancient One had no idea that Michael, this cheater, had learned such a difficult spatial ability simply by 'patting' a book.
But Ancient One knew that trying to break the Space magic of a Space Mage equally proficient in the art was no ordinary feat! Either find and destroy the spatial magic fluctuation nodes of 'Horizon Shrink', but clearly, for 'Horizon Shrink' which can arbitrarily stretch distances, this idea was extremely difficult and would greatly waste the breaker's magic power. Or, directly crush this space with overwhelming power, which would naturally break 'Horizon Shrink'. However, Ancient One, though strong, was not strong enough to crush a Space Mage equally proficient in the art with absolute power.
Therefore, Ancient One decided to try a different approach!
Maintaining the 'light shield' with one hand, she made a gesture with the other. Soon, the eye of agamotto on Ancient One's chest began to glow green. Quickly, the green Time Power completely enveloped Ancient One.
At this moment, Michael naturally discovered that his 'Horizon Shrink' was completely ineffective against 'Green Ancient One'!
Looking at Ancient One, who was quickly approaching him, Michael was speechless, while also acknowledging that he had learned something.
Can the Time Stone be used like this?! By directly maintaining her own time at the moment she first entered the Mirror Dimension, then naturally, this incredibly profound 'Horizon Shrink' became utterly useless.
Not only was 'Horizon Shrink' useless, but even other 'trash' spatial slashes were completely ineffective! One could tell by looking at those... 'trash' spatial slashes that passed through 'Green Ancient One' without causing the slightest damage!
Michael was speechless about this, thinking, 'Isn't this just being a rogue!' As expected of the teacher of Doctor Strange, who also used the Time Stone to cheat, Ancient One, you're truly something!
However, seeing Ancient One, who was already close, Michael directly used a Spatial Flash to leave his original position.
Incidentally, he directly released the 'Space Compression Cannon'.
Boom!!! With a thunderous roar, even the entire Mirror Dimension shook.
But Michael discovered, with a toothache, that such a massive compressed air expansion explosion didn't even cause the green light on Ancient One's body to flicker once.
"Sigh, you're forcing my hand!"
Sighing, Michael directly began to activate the forbidden technique: Spatial Collapse!
