Xiao Han stared at the golden energy dancing in his palm, a flicker of excitement sparking in his eyes.
He slowly raised his hand and began tracing an even more intricate rune—a spell he had discovered deep in the Kamatayagi Library. It was an ancient incantation, said to be the key to opening dimensional gates.
"In the name of the Old Gods, open the door."
He whispered the words. Though his voice echoed silently in the vacuum, it triggered a resonance in the surrounding energy.
Golden sparks swirled and expanded before him, gradually forming a massive vortex.
Unlike the neat circular portals of Kamatayagi, the edges of this gate were irregular, flickering like the flames of a burning space itself.
On the other side, a dark crimson wasteland began to emerge.
Twisted mountains rose like the spines of colossal beasts. Strange purple whirlpools floated in the sky, and the air reeked of sulfur.
Clearly, this was the Hell Dimension.
"Interesting."
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes. Using his super vision, he pierced the dimensional barrier to see deeper into the realm.
Countless demons drifted in rivers of lava. Further within, several powerful presences lay dormant.
As he observed, a massive demon claw suddenly reached through the portal—truck-sized, its scaled skin flowing with molten lava.
"Go back." Xiao Han said coldly, red light flashing in his eyes.
Szz!
His heat vision, enhanced by magic, cut the claw precisely. The demon let out a silent, agonized scream as its severed limb retracted into the dimension.
The demon horde on the other side stirred but wisely kept their distance.
"Seems Hell's creatures aren't stupid either." Xiao Han chuckled lightly and casually closed the portal.
After a moment's thought, he decided to open another dimensional gate—this time to Domam's Dark Dimension.
"Let's see how strong this so-called Lord of Dimensions really is."
A new incantation formed at his fingertips. The energy fluctuations were far more intense this time.
The sunlight energy and the dark dimension's essence clashed violently. As the gate opened, sparks of violent energy burst forth.
The Dark Dimension gradually came into view: endless voids, floating purple crystals, and suddenly—a pair of gigantic eyes opening wide.
"Who dares to spy on my domain?"
Domam's voice exploded in Xiao Han's mind, heavy with the authority of a dimensional lord.
Xiao Han remained unmoved. "Just a passing Sun God, saying hello."
Domam's fury surged through the portal like a tangible force. "Insignificant creature! How dare you—"
"Save it." Xiao Han interrupted. "You can't touch me through the dimensional barrier. But…"
A smirk curved his lips. "I can leave you a souvenir."
Before the words finished, Xiao Han's eyes blazed to their fullest. Two heat vision beams, amplified by magic, pierced through the dimensional gate, striking Domam's true form!
The Dark Dimension erupted in violent energy waves. Domam's roar shook the portal. "How dare you—"
"Goodbye."
Xiao Han casually closed the gate. Domam's roar was cut off instantly.
Floating within the sun's flames, Xiao Han absorbed the data from this encounter.
Dimensional magic intensity, energy consumption, portal stability—all as expected.
"Even a Lord of Dimensions can't touch me across dimensions," Xiao Han said, nodding in satisfaction.
"If I can open these two dimensions, what about the others?"
He muttered, eyes gleaming with curiosity. "Heaven Dimension? Or perhaps even more distant universes?"
He raised his hand, ready to attempt opening a new spatial gate.
But just as he was about to release the energy…
[Ding! Host is attempting cross-dimensional exploration!]
The system's alert interrupted him.
"Huh?"
Xiao Han raised an eyebrow. "What is it, System?"
[Ding! Host has successfully mastered autonomous dimensional gate creation, meeting the task system activation conditions!][Multiverse Task Module unlocked!]
Xiao Han blinked. "Task system?"
[Yes, Host.]
The system's mechanical voice echoed in his mind. [Simply think "Multiverse" in your mind, and a spatial gate will randomly open to a parallel world. The Host may choose to enter and complete missions, gaining growth points and rewards upon completion.]
Xiao Han's interest piqued. "Missions? Rewards? Tell me more."
[Through the Task Module, Host may accept missions in other universes to achieve specific objectives. After completion, you may return to your own universe at any time and receive system store growth points, also known as exchange points.]
"System store?"
In the next moment, a virtual interface appeared before Xiao Han, displaying a dazzling array of items neatly categorized:
[Ding! System Store Preview Opened!]
A virtual light screen expanded in his vision, revealing countless items:
Krypton Battle Armor (points)
Codex of Life (points)
Doomsday Cells (points)
Anti-Surveillance Armor (points)
Cosmic Treadmill (points)
Mother Box (points)
Infinity Gem (single)
Eye of Agamoto (points)
Eternal Spear (points)
Iron Man Nano Suit (8000 points)
Mjolnir (points)
Green Lantern Ring (points)…
Xiao Han skimmed through them. Krypton Battle Armor didn't interest him; he didn't like wearing his underwear outside.
He had already fused with the Codex of Life, but Doomsday Cells piqued his curiosity.
He glanced at the prices, raising an eyebrow. "Tsk… expensive."
[Ding! Host's current growth points: 0]
"No discounts? System?"
[The store has many modules. Host may explore at will.]
"Fine, let's try it." Xiao Han closed the system interface, raising his hand as golden energy gathered in his palm.
"Then… open a random one!"
Silently, he thought: Multiverse.
Buzz!
A spatial gate erupted open. Unlike the stable circles before, this gate's edges flickered with irregular blue arcs, as if reality itself had been torn.
Peering through, Xiao Han saw a familiar city—New York.
Skyscrapers towered, cars moved in streams, sunlight glinting off the glass facade of Stark Tower.
"Seems similar to my world?"
[Ding! Detected current universe—Movie Universe][Mission issued: The Thrilling Battle of New York][Mission Objective: During the Chitauri invasion of New York, resolve the crisis in front of the Avengers, showing them the true power of Superman!][Mission Reward: 5,000 growth points, random bonus]
A golden light flashed in Xiao Han's eyes. "Interesting."
Without hesitation, he stepped through the portal.
The next moment, he appeared above New York, gazing down at the city on the brink of war.
"Alright." Xiao Han's lips curved."Time to show this world what a real Superman looks like."
