Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Her long hair, trailing all the way to her feet, with its gradually fading ends, fluttered in the wind. Behind her, three-meter-long energy wings unfurled, dancing like flames and radiating dazzling light.

Her face was delicate, but her eyes held a chilling indifference.

"Is that Eli?" the administrator murmured, and after waiting for a long time without a response, he belatedly realized that the centaur had not escaped the attack of the magic circle.

When the manager left, he didn't even consider what would happen to the centaurs. Although the centaurs had always stayed by the manager's side to do the work of protecting him, in principle, whether out of affection or for appearances, he should have taken them with him when he ran away.

Unfortunately, aside from themselves, the managers don't care about anyone else or any living being. Their usual behavior is just a facade.

But it didn't matter. He believed that the centaurs could handle it. After all, centaurs were energy beings in a certain sense, almost immune to all energy attacks, and could also absorb various kinds of energy for their own use.

Despite the massive explosion, it provided invaluable nourishment for the horses. The administrators hadn't lost such a useful protector.

...That's a bit of a tangent.

The manager watched as the person approached rapidly, and the more he looked, the more it resembled Eli, but he couldn't be sure.

Ultimately, he's a bit like Eli out of control.

However, this image does not align with the administrators' perception of Eli as out of control before the major overhaul.

The administrator was still wondering who this was, as no one in the dimensional gap world was in this form.

Just as he was hesitating whether to greet him and ask what was going on, Eli did not slow down his flight at all and rapidly approached the administrator.

Approaching so close without prior notice is extremely offensive behavior among powerful individuals. The manager warily raised his arm, and a faint light shone from the arm of his combat uniform.

"Hello!"

As soon as the word "feed" left his mouth, Eli charged forward, the light from his energy wings growing ever brighter.

As they got closer, the impact of the energy caused the space to resonate.

Eli threw a straight punch, completely enveloped in dark red energy with purplish edges.

The manager frowned, sensing the chaotic and volatile unknown energy within, and decided against taking it head-on. The space beneath his feet collapsed, and he used spatial teleportation to dodge the punch.

He was powerful, but not stupid; he wouldn't just blindly take a random punch. Besides, the energy emanating from this person was incredibly violent and bizarre, and he couldn't even understand how it was being channeled.

When did this person appear in the dimensional gap world?

The fist missed, but the energy was released, directly increasing the frequency of spatial vibration. The low hum turned into a howl, and wave after wave of energy rings spread out.

Up close, the manager could better sense the indifference in Eli's eyes and see the contours of his face more clearly.

"It should be Eli, but... has he lost his mind?"

Despite his calm and indifferent gaze, he was clearly no longer capable of communicating.

This assessment sent a chill down the manager's spine. Another unexpected turn of events occurred, and Eli's loss of control took a different turn this time.

Who did it? Did someone activate Eli's inexplicable form before him?

Lin Yi?

He instinctively turned around, and the magic circle attack, like a supernova explosion, was already in its tail end. The administrator had no interest in fighting Eli; he had more important things to do.

But as I've already said, Eli's current state is not conducive to communication. She sidestepped and delivered a kick, which also unleashed destructive energy.

The administrator activated teleportation again, preparing to grab the supposedly "severely injured" Lin Yi and remove him from this space in order to inquire about his coordinates.

However, the spatial teleportation failed.

"Um?"

The manager was stunned for a moment, then felt a sharp pain in his abdomen as he received a solid kick from Eli.

The manager was kicked and sent flying backward. After regaining his balance, he looked at Eli with surprise.

Good heavens, Eli just sealed off the space?

This is a skill that wasn't shown before! Is it really that worthless now? Is it something everyone can do?

Of course, the surprise was only momentary, since he had never seen Eli in his current form before. It was understandable that he would encounter some new and strange abilities.

But this kick...

The manager looked down and saw that his combat suit was already torn by the foot he had just stepped on. Eli's strange, purplish-red energy had not dissipated; instead, it clung to his clothes and continued to corrode them.

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the energy, and when the manager looked up at Eli, his eyes had changed.

Eli seems to be even more powerful than before the major overhaul.

The manager immediately realized that in order to take Lin Yi away, they needed to temporarily restrain Eli.

Thinking of this, he pushed off with his feet and suddenly darted out, rushing towards Eli's side.

A ball of light condensed in his palm, shrinking to the size of a fist, with energy pulsating wildly within it.

In the blink of an eye, the administrator rushed to Eli's side and slapped the ball of light in his hand towards Eli.

Energy surged from the wings, and Eli quickly retreated, seemingly not intending to take the attack head-on.

But the manager did not pursue it; instead, he continued to shoot out orbs of light, which slammed into... thin air.

The ball of light seemed to need no physical contact; the instant it left my hand, it exploded in the air, creating a golden ripple.

The ripples continued to spread, and at an extremely fast speed, they instantly engulfed Eli.

Within the affected area, the flow of time began to decrease strangely, and Eli's retreating figure began to slow down.

"Time manipulation capabilities?"

"And this way of using it..."

The shadowy figure watching from the darkness suddenly narrowed his eyes, his words filled with disbelief.

His breathing became erratic for a moment, and his brows furrowed.

The time management ability didn't surprise him, nor was the manager's tactic particularly remarkable.

What truly shocked him was the way this time-manipulation ability was used.

He had only seen this technique applied to one person: the old man.

It's not that others can't develop similar time-related capabilities and methods of application. But no matter what, it's impossible for them to have the exact same operating method and ripple structure.

The dial symbols that keep emerging from the ripples are the best proof!

There is only one possibility for this phenomenon: the person who developed this technique taught it to another person step by step.

Did the old man teach you that?

No, no, no, that's completely impossible. There's no reason for the old man to side with the managers. But if that's not the case, how do you explain the managers' move?

The shadowy figure fell silent, its initial spectator attitude gradually fading away.

I wanted to ask the old man, but he has already left. He didn't want anyone to find him, so no one can find him.

Oh wow, Eli's loss of control is like a trigger point that changes the script. With this trigger, it seems like even more plot points beyond the original script will emerge...

What else could they do? The shadowy figure figured it was safer to just observe quietly for the time being.
