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

Chapter 212 The overall situation has been decided
Just as Shadow Morty seemed about to be completely annihilated by the devastating laser, a bizarre scene unfolded. The Shadow Morty that had been shattered by the laser suddenly found itself surrounded by an incredibly dense black aura. This black aura, as if alive, rapidly intertwined and coiled, instantly reshaping Shadow Morty's form.

"You think you can kill me like this? How naive, you fool! You can't kill me unless you completely destroy the Shadow Kingdom." Shadow Morty's voice became even more sinister, his eyes burning with eerie black flames, and his black robes fluttering in the wind.

Rick's holographic projection chimed in, "Do villains like you all like to reveal your weaknesses during battle?"

An anonymous person in the chat group said, "You've already complained, so what am I supposed to complain about?"

Shadow Morty glanced indifferently at Rick's projection: "This is both our weakness and our greatest strength. If we have the ability to destroy the entire Shadow Kingdom, would we care whether I've pointed out this weakness or not?"

Seeing that Shadow Morty wasn't so easy to kill, Kind Morty's hands moved rapidly across his wrists. The turrets on his armor's shoulders flashed again, and several quantum-tracking missiles roared out, trailing long plumes of flame, and flew precisely toward Shadow Morty.

Shadow Morty snorted coldly, his hands rapidly forming hand seals as he chanted, "Dark Vortex, devour everything!"

A massive black vortex appeared out of thin air before him, like a black hole in the universe, radiating a terrifying suction force. The incoming quantum tracking missiles were instantly sucked into the vortex and vanished without a trace, without even a sound of explosion.

Without hesitation, Kind Morty swiftly pressed specific buttons on his wristbands, causing the energy core in his armor's chest to spin wildly. Blue technological energy and golden magical light intertwined, forming a constantly rotating energy sphere. Before the energy sphere could be launched, Shadow Morty used Shadow Kingdom to annihilate it, simultaneously beginning to devour Kind Morty.

"This is the power you need to face." Shadow Morty said calmly, watching Good Morty struggle as he was enveloped in darkness. He opened his arms, and a powerful suction force emanated from his body, drawing the surrounding black energy towards him.

Meanwhile, Old Man had finished modifying the spell. Holding a pufferfish, he arranged all the magical materials he needed and chanted, "Demons and monsters, leave! Demons and monsters, leave!"

As expected of the old man, he could change any spell into the phrase "Demons and monsters, leave quickly." As the spell was cast, runes made of green demonic energy flew out of the pufferfish's mouth. The magical materials were also imbued with demonic energy, and together with the green demonic energy, they formed a complex array in the air, slowly flying towards the surrounding shadowy world.

In truth, Old Man was able to pull off this operation thanks to the appearance of Shadow Morty. Without Shadow Morty, the Shadow Kingdom would still be a dimension hidden in the shadows, with no access to its control.

Shadow Morty was a result of Rick combining the Encyclopedia of Magic with his own technological abilities, which allowed him to seize control of the Shadow Kingdom. In other words, without Shadow Morty, the power-stealing spell that Uncle created would have no specific target.

Now, it's as if Shadow Morty possesses the authority of the Shadow Kingdom. All Daddy needs to do is infuse his magic into the Shadow Kingdom and then cast a spell on Shadow Morty.

"There's one more thing, Chen Long, it's time to make your move!" After casting the spell, the old man spoke up as the time was ripe.

The rune array formed by green demonic energy slowly drifted towards the Shadow World. Shadow Morty was focusing all his efforts on dealing with Good Morty, preparing to completely devour him, when he suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation coming from behind. He turned around and saw his father attacking the Shadow Kingdom, and his expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

Shadow Morty dared not be distracted any longer. He abandoned his attempt to devour Good Morty, turned around, and rapidly waved his hands, sending streaks of black light flying towards the green rune array. The streaks collided with the runes, producing a series of crackling sounds. The green runes trembled slightly from the impact, but continued to stubbornly advance towards Shadow Morty.

"Damn it!" Shadow Morty gritted his teeth. He knew his father's move was definitely aimed at him, and if he were hit by this rune array, he would probably be in grave danger. At this moment, Kind Morty also took the opportunity to recover, and the light on his armor shone again.

"You might as well surrender!" Good Morty shouted, and all the weapon systems on his armor were activated again, with various energy beams and missiles shooting towards Shadow Morty.

Shadow Morty was caught in a pincer movement, having to fend off both his father's rune array and Good Morty's attacks, leaving him in a state of disarray. There was no way he could escape using the Shadow Kingdom's teleportation ability. Instead of immediately using spells against Shadow Morty, his father first cast a spell on the Shadow Kingdom to prevent its escape.

The black robes on Shadow Morty's body instantly swelled up, and dense black energy spread wildly outwards from him, forming a solid black shield that temporarily blocked Good Morty's attacks and the advancement of the rune array.

But this was merely a delaying tactic; the cursed runes were steadily eroding his power. Shadow Morty could feel his control over the Shadow Kingdom slowly diminishing.

"You think you can take my power so easily!" Shadow Morty roared, slamming his hands into the ground. Instantly, the entire shadow world began to tremble violently, and countless sharp black stone spikes burst forth from the ground, hurtling towards Kind Morty and Old Man Morty.

The old man remained calm. After successfully casting the spell, he felt the situation was settled. He said softly to Shadow Morty, "Hey, young man, now you know what it means to be wiser than an old fox."

"Are we just going to watch like this?" With the commotion caused by Shadow Morty, Ai Haibara couldn't continue her cultivation. She went to Cheng Yiyi's side and saw Kind Morty resisting Shadow Morty's attack, as well as Chen Long and Tru protecting their father.

They weren't being attacked by the Shadow Legion, but from the holographic projection, they could see Rick running and fighting back, indicating where most of the Shadow Legion was. It was clear that Shadow Morty was willing to cause trouble for Rick rather than attack them directly.

"Joseph, the Tiger Talisman." Cheng Yiyi spoke to Joseph, who was closest to the Book of Time, indicating that now was the best time for him to use the Book of Time to obtain the Tiger Talisman.

After the Tiger Talisman split Morty in two, it naturally split into two halves. Both halves of the Tiger Talisman were hidden by Shadow Morty in the Shadow Kingdom.

To obtain the Tiger Talisman, they must rely on the power of the Book of Time. Since their father has already turned the tide, they naturally don't need the Book of Time's assistance.

Upon hearing this, Joseph immediately approached the history book that had remained unaffected by the battle here, picked up the quill pen beside it, and began to write on the blank pages.

With his current authority, Shadow Morty naturally had the ability to hinder Joseph's actions. However, he did not do so. As Morty whose mental state was somewhat similar to Evil Morty, Shadow Morty was very clear-headed and knew that when his father cast the spell that seized the authority of the Shadow Kingdom, he was already doomed.

He could want to kill the kind-hearted Morty without restraint, but he was unwilling to be destroyed by him. So, in a sense, the Tiger Talisman was also his way out.

With the tide turned against him, he could use the Tiger Talisman to merge with Good Morty. So what did the bad things that Shadow Morty did have to do with him, an ordinary boy named Morty?

Without any hindrance from Shadow Morty, Joseph easily retrieved the Tiger Talisman from the Shadowlands using the Book of Time.

The spell cast by Father finally took effect. The runic array formed from green demonic energy successfully infiltrated the Shadow Kingdom, colliding violently with the Shadow Kingdom's authority emanating from Shadow Morty. As the power of the runic array advanced layer by layer, Father began to continuously drain the Shadow Kingdom's power.

The demonic energy surrounding the old man grew increasingly dense. His already slightly hunched body seemed to be slowly supported by an invisible force, gradually straightening up. His wrinkled face became smooth and firm at a visible speed, and his white hair quickly turned black, regaining its vitality.

Tara, who had been scattered after being caught up in the battle between Shadow Morty and Good Morty, and was reunited in the Shadow Kingdom, felt extremely gloomy upon seeing this scene. Why was she going to have to change masters again?
