Successfully dodging the attack, Zane's brow furrowed as he assessed the situation. He waved his hand, unleashing a series of explosions that detonated around the Child of Eternity. Having recently acquired this explosive power, Zane was quite satisfied with its effectiveness. The display was both striking and gratifying, boosting his confidence.
"Ha! Did you see that? This is my power! Are you afraid yet?" Zane said, brimming with self-assurance. He felt exhilarated, convinced that his ability would prove invaluable in battle.
The Child of Eternity remained unshaken. "Is that all?" he sneered. "These are mere tricks, nothing that could penetrate my absolute defense. If you truly wish to challenge me, I suggest you bring out something substantial. If this is all you've got, you're no match for me."
The Child of Eternity spoke coldly, his face radiating confidence. Hearing his words, Zane felt a pang of frustration. He hadn't expected the Child of Eternity to be so overwhelmingly strong. Even the explosive attacks he had unleashed seemed to have no effect, leaving Zane unsure of what to do next.
"Mr. Zane, let me lend you a hand!"
At that moment, the Scarlet Witch appeared beside Zane. Her powers were formidable—capable of manipulating all matter—and she had reached an incredible level of strength. Having her assist in the fight against the Child of Eternity seemed like a promising prospect.
However, as powerful as the Scarlet Witch was, even she struggled against Zane in the past. How could she possibly defeat the Child of Eternity now? Facing such an overwhelming foe was undoubtedly a monumental challenge for her.
"Listen, if things start to go south, don't push yourself too hard," Zane said seriously, turning to the Scarlet Witch. "This guy is far stronger than any of the foes we've faced before. Just look at him—he's no braggart. When dealing with him, we need to be deadly serious and cautious. Underestimating him could be disastrous."
Zane's tone was resolute, though his mind remained troubled. The Child of Eternity's sheer power was beyond anything he had anticipated. How were they supposed to defeat such an opponent? The thought alone was daunting.
The Child of Eternity let out a booming laugh. "You'll never defeat me. Stop deluding yourselves! My strength is unmatched, and dealing with you both is a trivial task. You don't stand a chance!"
His words dripped with confidence, a smug expression plastered across his face. Zane found this insufferable. The arrogance and self-assurance of the Child of Eternity were infuriating, making Zane all the more determined to bring him down.
"You bastard!" Zane snapped, glaring at him. "Let me give you a piece of advice—don't get too cocky. Keep it up, and you'll meet a terrible end sooner or later!"
Zane's words carried the weight of a warning, spoken as if they were an undeniable truth. But to the Child of Eternity, they were nothing but laughable nonsense.
"Hahaha, you foolish human! You can't even protect yourself, yet you dare to concern yourself with me. You're utterly ridiculous. Since you're so stupid, just go and die already!"
The Child of Eternity spoke with unwavering confidence, raising a hand that emanated an immense gravitational force. Zane felt the overwhelming pull and couldn't help but feel fear. The sheer power radiating from the Child of Eternity's hand was like a black hole, leaving Zane struggling to accept its magnitude.
Under the influence of this gravitational force, Zane found himself being drawn helplessly toward the Child of Eternity's palm. He knew that if he ended up in the enemy's grasp, he would be torn to pieces—something he absolutely could not allow to happen. Just imagining it left him feeling an ache in his chest.
"Damn it, you bastard! I didn't think you'd actually have some real power," Zane said coldly, though internally, he was at a loss. He couldn't figure out how to deal with such an overwhelmingly strong opponent, leaving him more frustrated than ever.
"Hahaha! Finally realized my strength, huh? Let me tell you, this is only a fraction of what I'm capable of. Killing you would be as easy as lifting a finger. It wouldn't even be a challenge."
The Child of Eternity's voice brimmed with confidence as he continued to unleash his power, relentlessly pulling Zane closer in an attempt to crush him.
At this moment, Zane's frustration reached its peak. He hadn't expected to face such a powerful adversary, far stronger than anyone he had encountered before. The situation was almost too much to bear.
"Mr. Zane, let me help you!"
The Scarlet Witch appeared, her expression stern. She flew to Zane's side and unleashed the power of the Phoenix Force, engaging the Child of Eternity head-on.
With the Phoenix Force at her command, the Scarlet Witch wielded tremendous strength, capable of controlling anything she wished.
The black hole created by the Child of Eternity was undeniably powerful, but its gravitational pull was countered by the Scarlet Witch's Phoenix power. This unexpected turn left the Child of Eternity visibly frustrated. How could this be happening? The question plagued his mind.
"Wow, I must say, I didn't expect this at all! You've become so incredibly powerful, Miss Scarlet Witch. I'm honestly impressed! Can you teach me how you've managed to become so exceptional?" Zane exclaimed, his tone a mix of admiration and teasing.
Zane looked at the Scarlet Witch and spoke with a bright smile on his face. Seeing Zane's expression, the Scarlet Witch was left speechless. How could he still say such things at a time like this? It was beyond her comprehension.
