In the end, after smashing the entire city more than a dozen tis, Hulk finally stopped, albeit reluctantly. He looked around at the intact buildings, then up at Ancient One, who was floating in midair. Ancient One had maintained a calm expression from beginning to end. Finally, Hulk gave up.
"I get it…" He sat down on the ground with a slightly dejected, bitter smile, "Magic really is… an incredible power."
Ancient One smiled indifferently and waved her hand gently. The strange Mirror Dinsion vanished in an instant, as if erased like paint. Hulk found himself back at the training grounds of Kamar-Taj. After experiencing a brush with death, Mordo had regained his composure. He approached Hulk, his face now devoid of pride or resentnt, replaced by heartfelt… admiration. He bowed solemnly to the Hulk.
"Your strength… truly astonishing."
Everyone gave bitter smiles, "The Sorcerer Supre was right. You really are… a mighty warrior."
"I apologize for my earlier comnts," Mordo said.
Hulk scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "It's okay, I went a bit overboard at the start."
His gaze swept past everyone, looking far into the distance, and he asked curiously, "All those masters just now… that magician… who was she? Her Mirror Dinsion was so strange, I was trapped and couldn't do anything."
Everyone followed his gaze and explained with a smile, "That's… our forr Sorcerer Supre, the Ancient One."
"Ancient One?" Hulk suddenly understood, "Ah, no wonder she's so powerful!"
…
The Sorcerer Supre's Private Sanctuary
Here, ti seed to lose its aning. Lucci sat cross-legged, eyes closed, as if his entire being was one with the universe. In the sea of his spiritual consciousness, his understanding soared madly at an unprecedented rate, defying the heavens. This ti, he allowed himself to deeply analyze all the mysteries behind Hulk's fusion of gamma rays and life force from up close.
Anger, fear, suppression… these intense emotions could serve as catalysts, transforming nearly endless destructive cosmic rays into potent life energy for physical enhancent. This principle was especially useful for Lucci, who had always explored the mysteries of the universe.
"All things can be consud, all thoughts can beco useful…" In Lucci's mind, countless new insights surged forth about the relationship between emotion, soul, spirit, and body.
"Great Universe Devouring thod" was to devour the energy of all things to strengthen oneself. And emotion, as one of the most primal spiritual energies of any living being, could also be "devoured" and "refined"! Joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, shock—seven emotions and six desires—are not only shackles for humans, but also fuel for the strong!
Boom!
Who knew how long had passed, but in Lucci's sea of consciousness, a great explosion sounded, as if the world was opening. A brand new, supre thod for refining body and soul was slowly taking shape in his mind:
The Soul-Refining Technique of Seven Emotions and Six Desires!
This thod uses one's seven emotions as fire, and the six desires as fuel, tempering this spiritual energy into the purest origin of the soul, then feeding it back to the body, achieving double sublimation of spirit and matter!
The mont this thod was created, Lucci felt the joys and sorrows of countless beings in the universe: the joy of a star's birth, the rage of a supernova's explosion… This endless energy was instantly captured, purified, and refined by him! Exceptionally pure primordial energy washed through every cell of his body! Both his body and soul soared crazily once again at a terrifying speed!
But Lucci didn't indulge in the pleasure of this surging power. To him, this was just the "appetizer" of his retreat. The real main course was… deducing the MagicNet!
"The three Sanctums can serve as major support nodes for the MagicNet, forming a stable triangular energy structure.
But… it's not enough.
This net needs a real core—a super server that can carry, process, and distribute the majestic energy of the entire magical network."
Countless plans flashed through Lucci's mind. In the end, he rembered his artifact. A smile spread on his lips. With a flip of his palm, he lightly grasped the air—
Buzz—
The Path of Fla Sword appeared in his hand out of thin air. The sword's body shimred with flowing galaxies, as if it contained a complete universe.
"What could be more suitable as the core of the MagicNet than this infinitely growing innate artifact?"
Using his artifact as the nucleus, he would encompass the entire Earth within his "Magic Sword Domain"!
Once this idea ford, it could no longer be suppressed!
Without hesitation, Lucci set the Path of Fla Sword as the core of the MagicNet, used the three Sanctums as stage nodes, and drew energy from the multidinsional universes… An unprecedented, magnificent "MagicNet" was quickly constructed, deduced, and completed in his mind…
…
Ti slipped by unnoticed.
Finally, at a certain mont, Lucci suddenly opened his eyes! In that instant, two beams of golden divine light shot from his eyes, piercing the void as if seeing through to the origin of the cosmos!
"It's done!" He gripped the Path of Fla Sword and slowly stood up. "In my na, I will guide the multidinsional universe!"
He muttered, then fully activated the "Multiversal Energy Conduction Technique"!
Zing!
The Path of Fla Sword in his hand let out a soul-stirring, joyous sword cry, transford into a ribbon, soared into the sky, pierced the roof of the quiet chamber, and hung directly above Kamar-Taj!
Imdiately, endless, invisible, majestic cosmic energy seed to be summoned by the Supre One, frantically converging on the Path of Fla Sword from countless dinsions! The sword's blade shone dazzlingly, like a new sun!
"Link!"
With Lucci's thought, three magical storms instantly burst from the Path of Fla Sword, connecting with the three Sanctums of New York, London, and Hong Kong! The three Sanctums erupted with brilliant magical light simultaneously, echoing the sword in the sky!
A massive energy triangle spanning Asia, Europe, and Arica was instantly ford! With this triangle as the foundation, countless golden threads—like an invisible giant net—radiated outwards at astonishing speed from the Path of Fla Sword and the three Sanctums, quickly covering and spreading to every corner of the world!

anwhile, Thousands of Kiloters Away: Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
In the deep underground of the school, a bald man in a suit and a wheelchair wore an intricate tallic helt. He was none other than Charles Xavier. At this mont, he was using Cerebro to amplify his telepathy to the limit, searching for new, undiscovered mutants across the globe. His consciousness swept through cities, countryside, and oceans like an invisible radar…
Suddenly! Professor Charles' body shuddered violently! He had "seen" it! In a spiritual sense, he saw it with perfect clarity—a majestic, indescribable net! It was made of the purest, most magnificent mystical energy, far beyond the limits of his perception! Like a living neural network, the net was spreading from the direction of the Himalayas, New York, London, and the Yangtze River, covering the world at an astonishing pace!
"What… what is this?"
For the first ti in his life, Charles felt such a grand spiritual energy creation! This was not the ability of any mutant! Even with Cerebro's help, his telepathy could only cover a limited range, but this net… covered nearly everything!
Stunned, Professor Charles took off his helt, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He imdiately hurried to the schoolyard in his wheelchair, gazing up at the sky. Though nothing was visible to the naked eye, he could clearly feel the net covering the North Arican sky.
"Logan! Ororo! Scott!" He summoned his strongest disciples with telepathy.
Soon, a rugged man with a cigar in his mouth and a difficult expression—Wolverine, Logan; a cold, white-haired woman—Storm, Ororo; and a young man in special red glasses—Cyclops, Scott—all rushed to him.
"Professor, what happened?" Wolverine asked suspiciously.
Professor Charles' face was more serious than ever. He pointed eastward and said deeply, "Prepare the jet—head to the Himalayas imdiately! Sothing incredible is happening there!"
Everyone was stunned. "Himalayas?" Cyclops asked, puzzled. "Professor, what could possibly be out there besides snow?"
"I don't know." Professor Charles shook his head, eyes full of confusion and worry. "But I can sense it. A mysterious net is covering the world, and the core source of that energy is… in the Himalayas!"
Seeing the professor's grave expression, the team nodded and headed for the runway without hesitation.
anwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D. Command urgently dispatched agents to investigate the Himalayas.

Back at Kamar-Taj
As the Path of Fla Sword transford into a net and hung above Kamar-Taj, an indescribable, majestic, and vast magical energy poured down like a galaxy bursting from a dam! The entire Kamar-Taj was enveloped in a gentle yet magnificent sea of energy!
In the air, the free magical elents were more lively than ever, as if cheering, rejoicing, and worshiping their king! Every monk of Kamar-Taj, whether ditating, training, or reading, stopped in unison. They all looked up, eyes filled with shock!
Ancient One, Mordo, Wong… one by one, the core mbers of Kamar-Taj appeared in the central square. They gathered spontaneously, faces full of awe and reverence!
"My god… this is… truly majestic energy…" The mature and calm Wong could only mumble in awe, feeling as small as dust before the torrent of the universe.
"The source of this energy… it's… the Sorcerer Supre's private chamber!" Mordo's voice trembled. He could feel that the celestial force emanated from Lucci's place of retreat, soaring straight up to the sky!
At this mont, Hulk also followed Mordo to the square. Seeing everyone's ghostly expressions, he couldn't help but be curious. He looked up… the sky was the sa blue, with white clouds and distant snow-capped mountains. Nothing unusual.
He patted Mordo and asked in a frustrated voice, "Master Mordo, what are you all looking at?"
Without turning, Mordo explained in a shocked tone, "We're looking at the net—the net that's being woven!"
"A net? What do you an?" Hulk was even more confused.
Mordo glanced at Hulk, then rembered that although Hulk's power reached the heavens, he wasn't a mage and couldn't see magical energy. He pointed to the sky above Kamar-Taj.
"There, an unimaginable magical storm is pouring from the Sorcerer Supre's chamber, forming a… solar core above our heads! Centered on that core, the MagicNet is spreading across the globe!"
Hearing this, Hulk was shocked. "Energy storm? Solar core? A giant net?"
He blinked and looked up again, but still saw nothing.
"How co… I can't see anything?" Hulk was bewildered.
Mordo cald his pounding heart and explained, "The net is woven from magic. Only mages, or those with very strong spiritual power, can see or feel it!"
Hulk nodded, understanding, but he couldn't see it himself. Still, seeing the shocked expressions of the surrounding mages, he felt the seriousness of the situation.
He asked unconsciously, "What is… this… all about?"
This question was also on every mage's mind. They could sense the vast energy, but didn't know what the Sorcerer Supre intended.
Just then, Ancient One spoke up, her voice tinged with excitent and endless awe.
"The Sorcerer Supre is using the three Sanctums as nodes, with Kamar-Taj as the core, to build a global surveillance and defense network… a Super MagicNet!
Once this network is complete, any extraterrestrial visitors or unknown threats arriving on Earth will be detected the mont they appear!"
As Ancient One finished, the whole square fell silent. All the mages, including Mordo and Wong, were utterly shocked.
Her words echoed in their minds: Global… surveillance… defense… MagicNet…
After a brief stunned silence—
Boom!
The square erupted into an uproar!
"Magic… a MagicNet? A magic net covering the world?"
"My god! The Sorcerer Supre… he… he actually wants to create sothing like this?"
"Is this even possible? Is such a miracle really possible?"
Mordo and Wong trembled with excitent! They alone understood what this MagicNet would an for Earth. The planet had always been passively defended by Kamar-Taj. This was the end of an era—and the beginning of a new one!
Ancient One looked at the fanatical, incredulous faces around her, her own heart surging with excitent. She looked up at the invisible yet real giant net and cried out:
"Why not? The Sorcerer Supre is making it reality—right now!"
