Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 207 Second Imitation
"Hmph! We're enemies, why should I tell you my plans?" Shadow Morty said coldly, arms crossed. He had initially considered Rick one of his own, so naturally he hadn't taken any of Rick's technological gadgets. Of course, Shadow Morty wouldn't reveal this small oversight to Joseph and the others.

"Hey~ I don't know where you came from, but you want to rule this world? That's impossible, and we'll definitely stop you." Chen Long didn't quite understand Morty's identity, or who this "Grandpa" that Cheng Yiyi and the others were talking about was. Anyway, he just needed to righteously criticize them.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa in a city in Australia, Rick had taken over the place. Since Australia was practically deserted anyway, and no one dared to show their face, and the villa was just sitting empty anyway, he might as well take it over and use it.

Rick was sprawled on the soft sofa, with empty beer cans piled up at his feet. The holographic projection was showing a live confrontation between Shadow Morty and Chen Long's group.

Hearing Chen Long's righteous words, Rick couldn't help but yawn, his breath reeking of alcohol. He poked the holographic screen with his finger and said indifferently, "Look at these idiots~ They're shouting 'Justice will never compromise' on one side, while they're yelling 'Darkness will eventually rule' on the other..."

At this point, Rick gave the middle finger to the holographic screen in front of him and complained, "It's like it came straight out of a children's comic book. Even more childish than Morty's love-struck brain."

Rick pulled up the story of the adventure in the chat group, as if speaking to someone, and said, "See? The hero wants to protect world peace, but he can't even handle his own naughty kid. The villain wants to rule the world, but he can't even be interrupted by a pizza delivery while carrying out his plan."

Author: Are you talking to me?

Rick: Who else can I talk to if not you? There can't be some bored guy watching this terrible show, can there? Their taste is just as bad as your show.

Author: Cough cough... Adventure is a children's animation, and Chen Long is just an ordinary archaeologist. Also, the ones whose actions were interrupted by the takeout delivery should be the villain trio.

Rick: Congratulations, you've become a third-rate author who has successfully changed the subject.

Rick let go of the person typing in front of the screen. Looking at the cool-looking Shadow Morty on the screen, he loosened his bow tie, grabbed a bottle of vodka and took a big gulp. He said sarcastically, "Oh, look at this young man. He's wearing a black robe and putting on some eyeshadow. He's the ultimate villain."

The words trailed off, and Rick, in a high-pitched voice mimicking Morty's tone, said, "Oh~ I'm going to rule the world, I'm going to destroy everything, I'm going to make sure all the pain is back in Rick's hands, it's all Rick's fault~~"

"I will rule the world, I will destroy everything, I will repay Rick for all the pain, it's all Rick's fault~" On the screen, Morty uttered the exact same words. It's clear that Morty's mild corruption is still too naive; Rick saw right through him.

In this state, Morty only somewhat resembles Evil Morty; he's still a long way from reaching the level of Evil Morty.

Chen Long looked at Morty, who was still a teenager, and advised, "I won't talk to you about justice, nor about right and wrong. Do you think destroying everything will prove yourself? But truly strong people dare to face the cracks in their own hearts. Wise people should seek strength within themselves..."

"Hey, hey, hey~" Before Chen Long could finish speaking, a holographic projection of Rick popped up in the corner of the palace and said to everyone, "Wow! The hero's speech on justice is more hypnotic than Jerry's workplace PPT. The revenge declaration of this little devil is so good that even the three-and-a-half-year-old mechanical octopus from the next universe would laugh its tentacles off!"

"Uh... don't look at me, you guys keep going! I'm waiting to see you use love and courage to reform the villain, or for the corrupted Morty to suddenly have a change of heart and do a 180-degree reversal!" Rick's holographic projection pulled out a bottle of liquor, took a big gulp, and let out a loud burp with the smell of alcohol. Obviously, it was a projection of the real Rick's actions.

Shadow Morty did not fly into a rage at the appearance of Rick's projection. He frowned, and with a thought, several Shadow Legion soldiers emerged from the shadows around him.

"Go! Find him." Shadow Morty pointed at Rick's projection and gave the order to the Shadow Legion soldiers. The Shadow Kingdom's alternate dimension is vast, enough to travel throughout the world, except for the dimension where the Book of Time resides, which is beyond its reach.

It was only because Morty covered part of the Shadowlands here that these Shadow Legion soldiers were able to emerge. Now that Rick is outside, given the Shadow Legion's efficiency, finding Rick shouldn't be too difficult.

Unless Rick keeps using the teleportation gun to relocate. Back in this palace, Shadow Morty had used up a significant amount of teleportation fluid in Rick's gun. If Rick uses the gun a few more times, it'll be useless in this world. Then, he can capture this old man however he wants. Therefore, Shadow Morty isn't angry.

"Oh, your performance has really impressed me." Rick's projected expression and movements already showed Rick's surprise.

It's clear that Evil Morty's abilities are not unique; these abilities are also present in other Mortys, especially the protagonist Morty.

However, Evil Morty possesses an extremely strong sense of resistance and the ability to act, which he can perfectly utilize. As he himself said, every Morty who has the thought of escaping will become "Evil Morty".

This essentially means that every Morty has the potential to become Evil Morty, although the possibility is extremely slim. Looking at the protagonist Morty's later development, he is the closest to Evil Morty in terms of ability, but far inferior in character.

"Now it's your turn. To tell you the truth, I am the Shadow Kingdom, and the Shadow Kingdom is me. That old man over there, trying to seal me with some kind of magic spell, is impossible," Shadow Morty said confidently. These people could temporarily suppress and restrict him, but defeating him wouldn't be so easy.

Seal him? Seal him where? Hell? But the Shadow Kingdom itself is a different dimension, almost like Hell. Even with Father's abilities, he can't seal the entire Shadow Kingdom.

"To merge with the Shadow Kingdom, this alternate dimension... isn't this just Dormammu Shadow Kingdom version?" This thought flashed through Cheng Yiyi's mind when she heard Shadow Morty's introduction of her setting.

Afterwards, Cheng Yiyi checked the information that Morty was currently displaying in the chat group.

Grandpa will always be Grandpa (Tier 3 Morty)

As expected, Morty, having merged with the entire Shadow Kingdom, firmly reached the third tier of strength. As for the fourth tier of "Plowing the Surface," that was far from enough; after all, the Shadow Legion at its peak couldn't even break out of Fusang. Compared to the prestige of the Eight Great Demons, there was still a considerable gap.

"Truly a classic opening, the villain introducing his abilities." Ai Haibara gave a deadpan look and muttered to herself.

"It's not all classic villain stories. There's an anime about sorcerers who can enhance their combat power by introducing their abilities. I think it's called something like 'Spell Reveal'." Cheng Yiyi thought for a moment, realizing that not all information revealed during battles was simply for showing off.

"So this guy also has this ability?" Ai Haibara didn't expect there to be such a setting.

Joseph chimed in, "I guess his next line was just to tell you that you can't beat me no matter what."

Shadow Morty politely replied, "I just wanted to tell you that you can't defeat me no matter what."

If Morty's skin hadn't already turned pale, Joseph's guess of his lines would have likely made him turn blue. Morty was annoyed; Joseph was showing him no respect, so he decided to make an example of him.

"Shadow Legion, take him down!"
