Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

I'm very tired, not just physically, but also mentally.

Matthew couldn't fathom how the Ancient One managed to fight Dormammu for so long using only magic.

While he was thinking, the Ancient One seemed to realize that Matthew had reached his mental and physical limits, so he confronted Dormammu.

Dormammu was even angrier.

He was so focused on killing Matthew before, but now he realizes that his original goal was the Ancient One.

Now look what's happened, they're resorting to a war of attrition, aren't they?

So Dormammu promptly ran away.

It wasn't that Dormammu was injured, but rather that he simply didn't want to fight anymore.

Dormammu could already see that Matthew was using him as a litmus test.

The Ancient One watched from the sidelines, providing protection and support.

Once Matthew is in danger, the Ancient One will immediately step in to rescue him.

The key issue is that Dormammu can't kill Matthew in one go; Matthew is too difficult to kill, and his methods are terrifying.

It's slippery and grows very quickly, gradually becoming able to adapt to and even match the combat intensity of his level.

Continuing to fight is pointless.

It's not worth it at all.

"Human brat, I will definitely kill you." Dormammu left those words behind before making a spectacular escape.

Chapter 276 Terra's Dramatic Development and Changes (10,000 words)

The desolate and empty starry sky, and a large part of the colorful clouds have disappeared.

Only a sliver of light from afar brought a sliver of brightness to this starry sky.

The oppressive, heavy atmosphere had not yet dissipated; the starry sky remained blurry and distorted, and no life could hope to survive under this sky.

The Ancient One looked up as the golden beam of light, tearing through the starry sky, shot towards her and finally landed in front of her.

"Dormammu just retired like that?"

Matthew exudes an inescapable, fierce will, something inevitably left behind by prolonged battles.

Like a wild beast ready to pounce at any moment, it is full of danger.

"Dormammu is irritable and angry, but not stupid."

Ancient One gently shook her head. After carefully sensing the surroundings, she casually waved her hand, and the space between them rippled, returning them to the classical palace of Kamar-Taj.

At the same time, with Matthew's arrival, all the mages on Kamar-Taj sensed a terrifying aura emanating from the main hall.

They couldn't help but raise their heads and look towards the main hall with vigilance.

Fortunately, Matthew's Observation Haki detected those wary emotions, and he immediately realized what was happening, quickly suppressing his aura.

His turbulent emotions gradually subsided, and he returned to a life of ordinariness.

Excellent control.

Gu Yi nodded to himself.

In any field, control is often the most fundamental, the most important, and the essential skill to master.

Matthew placed great importance on this and personally taught the warriors of his three major chapters, including the Astartes.

How are you feeling?

“The difference is quite large, but not as large as I imagined.” Matthew took the teacup that the Ancient One handed him and took a sip.

Matthew is not weak at the level of the Godfather.

His progress became even more noticeable as he delved deeper into the development of magic and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Because he already possesses the ability to destroy the earth's surface.

However, it lacks a single, explosive killing move capable of instantly destroying a planet.

Dormammu is the kind of energy that can unleash planet-destroying power at any time; that's a difference in absolute magnitude.

The problem is that Matthew has many tricks up his sleeve.

In particular, the infinite kinetic energy of the fist universe means that he has no shortage of energy output.

The problem is with the power conversion.

If the power conversion limit could be increased, Matthew would be God.

Of course, this was just a clever little trick.

He originally thought that the gap between him and the Father was vast, that he would be instantly killed, but after the battle with Dormammu, Matthew was able to confirm his own position.

They are the first echelon under the Father.

The sub-Father, who is as weak as a hammer, can contend with a weaker Father for a period of time, and even fight against Dormammu who has crossed dimensions.

This was beyond Matthew's own imagination.

Considering he's only been cultivating for a short time, from the beginning until now, how long has it been?

This pace of progress is already enough to satisfy him.

Moreover, he is still making continuous progress, and his pace has not stopped.

For high-ranking demons like Thor, Thanos, and Lilith from Hell, their progress in strength basically slows down after reaching the level of the Father of the Sky.

To achieve a qualitative change in strength going forward, it basically comes down to simply putting in more time.

Gaining strength through time is extremely slow.

Or perhaps one suddenly grasps some wisdom, the truth of the universe, and one's level of life undergoes a transformation.

Thor is the standard template for growth in this universe.

Due to his family's extraordinary divine bloodline, he made continuous progress during the golden period from birth to physical growth, until the progress slowed down at a certain stage.

Then it will remain at this level for hundreds or thousands of years.

During this period, Thor's elite ranks had not yet reached the level of the Father of the Sky.

Ultimately, the civil war in Asgard caused by the Dark Elves led to the deaths of Frigga, Odin, and Hela's unsealing and subsequent appearance. Surtur orchestrated Ragnarok, which destroyed the entire Asgard.

He led the few hundred surviving civilians on a spaceship and crashed into Thanos.

Thanos was very fair; he killed half and spared the other half. Heimdall and Loki were killed, which were all heavy blows.

In the final battle, Thanos successfully snapped his fingers, destroying half of all life in the universe. With the gems destroyed, all hope was lost, and Thor fell into despair.

This period is actually a process of accumulation.

Use experience and pain to transform your mind until Saul can recover.

Throughout the process, Thor, who had not yet reached the level of the Father of the Gods at the beginning, underwent several periods of transformation. Due to his arrogance, he was banished to Earth by Odin, and his divine power was sealed.

He underwent a transformation during his time on Earth, resealing his divine power and achieving a leap in strength, essentially reaching the level of a sub-father.

Unfortunately, Odin's death followed, Hela broke free of her seal, and destroyed Thor's hammer, Mjolnir.

I realized that he wasn't the so-called god of hammers.

Thor has undergone another transformation.

Thanos slaughtered half of Asgard's civilians, killing Heimdall and Loki. Driven by hatred, Thor forged the Stormbreaker.

Another wave of transformation.

Thor has basically reached the level of the Heavenly Father, especially with the Stormbreaker. During the final battle, he was able to fire energy from Thanos's fully-diamondd Infinity Gauntlet, and the Stormbreaker he threw almost chopped Thanos's head off.

This shows just how powerful Thor was at this time.

However, after Thanos successfully snapped his fingers and retreated, Thor's strength declined again after a few years of decline and he became a fat god.

From the Dark Elves to the final battle, the entire time span was less than twenty years.

In just twenty years, he jumped from a level that even the sub-Father had not reached to the ranks of the Father, and even to the top-level God the Father.

This is the logic behind the growth of certain races in this universe.

Thor existed for over a thousand years before the Father.

In comparison, Matthew's cultivation and growth always maintain a rapid upward slope, and his life level will surge every time there is a high-intensity battle.

Matthew's growth logic is different from Saul's.

Smoother and smoother.

While Matthew was satisfied with this, he was not complacent. He had not even achieved his first goal, so he had no right to be complacent.

Unaware of Matthew's current thoughts, the Ancient One patiently pointed out Matthew's shortcomings in the battle against Dormammu.

Matthew humbly accepted the offer.

After a whole night had passed, Matthew finally said goodbye to the Ancient One and returned to his Long Island estate in New York.

He will need some time to process the results of this battle.

This time, however, the digestion process unexpectedly went smoothly for three months.

For the past three months, the whole world has been caught in a very strange balance.

Even wars are rare; at most, there are minor skirmishes between certain countries.

In just three months, Terra has undergone a complete transformation.

First, there's the capital, Novigler, and three secondary cities: Velica, Zagora, and Morava. Terra has invested a lot of manpower and resources, with no shortage of equipment and professional guidance.

The size of the city's land area has been expanded.

Houses and buildings were erected one after another.

The roads were widened, and factories were built one after another.

Basically everyone can have their own job, and the salary is not low.

Handicrafts and agriculture, under reasonable planning, have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

In addition, due to the Mutant Immigration Act, a large number of mutants with clean backgrounds immigrated from all over the world in three months.

It has absorbed five million mutants, and that number continues to grow.

It's important to understand that Terra's original population was only two million, which would be a burden for any country.

But Terra completely digested it without leaving any aftereffects.

Firstly, a significant portion of the 500 people were children under the age of sixteen, because children, the elderly, and women had absolute priority in the immigration laws formulated by Rachel and others.

The children would be assigned to the built schools according to their age.

From kindergarten, primary school, junior high school to high school, the proportion of students attending university is the smallest.

Thanks to advance planning, teachers in various educational fields have already been assembled in advance.

Similarly recruiting from around the world, with high salaries and background checks, this large teaching staff is sufficient to accommodate these students and children.

As for the adults, they will be assigned to individual communities.

There was no racial segregation.

Upon arriving in Terra, the first thing these mutants did was undergo a week-long testing process, including serum injections and observation.
