Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

In the skies above Moscow, Matthew wore a leather trench coat, a white Oxford shirt, jeans, and loafers.

Her black, tousled hair danced in the wind.

He slammed his arms open, and strands of electricity crackled around him.

A red glint flashed in his eyes.

A visible dark purple gravitational field surrounds him, and invisible force lines spread like a spider web to every corner of mirrored Moscow.

As he flung his arms open, his fingertips dipped slightly, and the first wave of gravitational currents erupted with a deafening roar. It wasn't a thunderous impact, but rather a greedy pull like a cosmic black hole, carrying the power of violent gravity that instantly tore everything apart.

The Kremlin's red walls were the first to collapse.

Under the pull of gravity, the heavy bricks and stones were like building blocks being crushed by an invisible giant hand; every blue brick and every glazed tile was forcibly peeled off.

Following the trajectory of gravity, they converged wildly, forming a swirling torrent of bricks and stones that swept past like a whirlwind, instantly tearing off and twisting the eaves of buildings and the spires of towers wherever it passed.

The once majestic Kremlin was torn into a floating ruin by this surging gravitational force in less than ten seconds.

This devastating gravitational storm did not stop; instead, it spread further, creeping along the streets and sweeping across the entire city of Moscow.

The birch trees lining the street, along with the stone pavement underfoot, were forcibly torn up.

The birch tree's roots were torn apart and flung wildly in the air, its branches and leaves shattering.

The stone pavement was dismantled into pieces, each stone pavement accelerated by gravity, like a whistling cannonball, crashing into the surrounding buildings.

The once orderly streets were instantly torn into a ravine-filled ruin, and the spiderweb-like cracks in the ground were instantly swallowed up by gravity.

The tributaries of the Volga River also met their fate.

The gravitational field forcibly distorted the river's trajectory. The originally gently flowing silvery-blue water was forcibly pulled out of its channel, turning into huge curtains of water that were torn into countless droplets in the air.

Every drop of water, accelerated by gravity, carries a chilling aura as it crashes against the buildings and bridges on the shore.

The steel structure of the bridge bent and broke like paper under the combined impact of gravity and water flow.

The bridge piers were uprooted, rotated and collided along with the gravitational vortex, and were eventually crushed into fine metal powder.

The dikes and frozen soil on both sides of the river were uprooted and crushed under the crushing force of gravity. The river water lost its support and turned into a mist that was pulled by gravity and merged into the dark purple force field that devoured everything.

The wind howled, dimensions trembled, and Moscow in the mirror world collapsed in an extreme amount of time.

The remains of birch trees, fragments of buildings, and mist from the river.

In the interplay of gravity and repulsion, a massive vortex of destruction is formed, completely erasing every inch of land and every building.

The once iconic Russian city of Moscow is now nothing but scattered debris. The traces of Red Square, the outline of the Volga River, and the golden domes of the Kremlin have all vanished under the violent force of gravity and repulsion.

Only the dark purple force field surrounding Matthew, radiating a suffocating pressure, signaled the complete end of this destructive gravitational storm.

Matthew floated in mid-air, looking down at the city that had been completely reduced to ruins, the red light in his eyes slowly dimming.

There was a long silence.

He then smiled.

“Indeed, the combination of technology and mystical power is the right thing to do; knowledge really is power.” Matthew smiled broadly.

The potential for development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is indeed greater than that of the Glint-Glint Fruit so far.

It's not anything else, but rather the difficulty of development. With the already mature theories and knowledge already available in the real world, the difficulty of transforming and developing them is greatly reduced.

Devil Fruits are a lot of things that can't be examined in detail.

Because it can bypass many things that don't exist or could never exist, it ignores many physical rules.

Only in this way can abilities that should not exist be developed.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit allowed him to develop the ability to manipulate gravity.

What is gravity?

One of the four fundamental forces of the universe, Newton proposed the law of universal gravitation.

The fundamental interaction of attraction between objects with mass and energy, which exists naturally.

Gravity is the underlying rule by which mass causes spacetime to curve and attracts all things together. It has no repulsive properties and all objects with mass are affected by it.

It is the rule, when someone can grasp and wield this power.

This means that a thinking person has mastered a terrifying weapon with no limits.

It represents destruction.

Matthew, through further development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, has begun to grasp this destructive power of the rules.

Of course, this is only the initial stage.

Just because he can easily destroy a city by using the gravity he creates doesn't mean he can influence or destroy the planet.

This is closely related to his brain's computing power.

When computing power is insufficient, no matter how he uses it, the range of gravitational influence he can cover is limited to the city of Moscow, or perhaps more, but not much more.

Of course, brainpower is also related to physical strength.

As his physique improves, his brain also grows and strengthens at the same time. Meditation is also a way to develop the brain.

Without a doubt, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit has become one of Matthew's greatest abilities with unlimited growth potential.

The other one is magic.

The only limitation magic has on him is energy; his potential for development is also at a cosmic level.

Matthew mastered two.

Just as Matthew was happily pondering, his brow suddenly twitched, and he turned his head.

I saw the figure of the Ancient One slowly emerge.

Unlike at the beginning, the Ancient One seemed to have become much more energetic.

He is in very good health.

She's in terrible health; Matthew believes that given her current condition, the Ancient One could live until the Big Bang if she wanted to.

Clearly, after the timeline was completely altered, the Ancient One stopped pretending.

"Incredible, your progress is truly beyond imagination." The Ancient One, still wearing her yellow sorceress robes and holding a folding fan, floated beside Matthew, looking down at the destroyed Moscow below, and couldn't help but marvel.

At her level, she could naturally see that the clever methods Matthew used were not magic.

She could easily destroy a large human city without using magic, and her progress was like a rocket when she first met Matthew.

It should be noted that Matthew's mastery of magic is also increasing day by day.

Even now, the Ancient One can't easily enter the mirror dimension opened by Matthew; she needs Matthew's permission first.

Besides Matthew's rapid progress in magical skills, his attitude is also a factor.

She had to treat Matthew as an equal, not as a potential investment or a junior colleague.

Therefore, she cannot take things for granted in many situations, such as this time. Respect is mutual.

It's only natural that the Ancient One would change her attitude after she had grown into a powerful figure who had personally invested in others.

Perhaps Matthew is still some distance from God the Father.

But his growth is already evident.

Especially now, there are powers that are independent of the magic system, such as the manipulation of light, the development of electromagnetic force, gravity, and so on.

All of this is enough to prove that he crossed a line.

A boundary that can keep most exceptionally talented people out of this place.

Matthew could sense the change in the Ancient One's attitude.

I wasn't surprised.

This was an inevitable outcome.

Matthew no longer cared about that. He knew the other party was investing, but that didn't diminish his gratitude towards the Ancient One. It was a mutually agreeable two-way transaction.

Therefore, his attitude towards the Ancient One remained unchanged.

"Is it something very important that Master Gu Yi came to see me at this time?"

Matthew looked up and glanced at the sky, not at anything else, but at another dimension detached from reality.

Unlike before, when he could only vaguely sense it and couldn't see it, he can now clearly "see" the situation in that space.

In that space, the Ancient One was engaged in a fierce battle with Dormammu.

The match was extremely intense.

Matthew was used to it.

Since Kaecilius defected from Kamar-Taj, Dormammu has gone even more mad, constantly trying to breach the boundaries between the two dimensions.

The Ancient One could only passively fight back.

This has continued to this day.

Matthew was initially very interested, thinking that he would benefit greatly from watching the battle between these two Gods of Heaven or even higher.

However, Matthew was too busy teaching Haki and didn't have much time to study himself, so he didn't get to watch the rest of the battle.

The real Ancient One is still fighting.

So this is just a magical projection now; the Ancient One is a pro at multitasking.

“Ah, I just came to remind you.” Ancient One chuckled, then casually explained the reason for his visit: “You should understand why Dormammu has been so crazy lately.”

"Yes, I've been waiting."

Matthew nodded.

Dormammu made no attempt to conceal his intentions, as it was an open conspiracy.

Dragging the Ancient One along only drains her life force.

Then you need to find an opportunity to destroy yourself.

Matthew knew this, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

If Dormammu wanted to kill himself on Earth, he couldn't bypass the Ancient One and kill himself; the only one he could rely on was Kaecilius.

But what level is Casillas at?

Should I avoid his sharp edge?

Matthew wasn't arrogant. If Casillas had a chance at the beginning, now he has absolutely no chance.

Because Matthew's progress was so rapid that Dormammu could never have imagined it.

Even the Ancient One was amazed, so you can imagine how fast Matthew has improved.

Because Matthew has no weaknesses at all now.

In terms of physique and the three types of Haki, he is already a unique and rare existence on Earth in actual combat.

After learning magic, as his magical skills improved, he even surpassed many seasoned mages who had studied for decades, and his last weakness disappeared.

Now he has eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and developed the ability to use electromagnetic forces, as well as gravity.

Their strength has increased dramatically once again, and it's not that Matthew underestimated Dormammu and Kaecilius.

One can only sigh and say, "Sir, times have changed."

They had no idea that Matthew himself was an exceptionally talented player; talent was merely the threshold for his success.

In a few months, his strength may leap to another level.

There's nothing we can do; Matthew is just too low-key.

He was so low-key that he rarely made a move. Apart from the Ancient One, who could come into contact with him, others could only have a rough estimate of his strength.

The information gap was enough to thwart Dormammu's scheme.
