Annihilus Part 5

//

Magneto released his power to sense metals deep within that place.

After an inspection, Magneto was surprised. He could sense large amounts of minerals, even as his power continued to spread, there was no limit to the metal he sensed.

The part he scanned alone exceeds the mountain of vibranium in the Savage Land by three times.

That amount was already outrageous, and the scans of Riri, Darcy, and Jane came up with those results as well.

This made everyone excited. Riri quickly summoned the Sentinels, which were special in that they had the function of extracting mineral resources.

They were called Mining Sentinels.

At that, a group of more than twenty Sentinels passed through the portal into the Negative Zone.

They were shorter and stockier, but their strength and agility still remained.

Without delay, those Sentinels began their work, they were good since in less than half an hour they already opened the ground in a large diameter and began to extract the metal.

Magneto, who was also present, helped them to extract it since now, thanks to the open hole, he could easily take it.

As the Sentinels' work went smoothly, Riri, Jane, and Darcy continued to check out the atmosphere and energies in the place.

Jessica Jones just looked around the surroundings flying.

Crystalia and Laura watched the surroundings from the ground.

And at that moment, Riri frowns as she finds something strange in the environment.

Darcy and Jane, who are close to her, notice the change in Riri's expression, as the girl stood thoughtfully without moving.

"Is something wrong, Riri?" Jane asked a little worried since as she approached, since through her helmet, she could see that Riri's face had a very serious expression.

Darcy just looks around nervously.

Magneto also comes over and stops helping the Mining Sentinels.

"Did you find something strange, child?" he asked her.

"Yes, this place seemed strange to me at first, now after seeing the energy reaction of this place, I'm sure of one thing. But don't worry, it's not dangerous" the girl answered after a few seconds and she calmed them down too.

The trio relaxes, and then Jessica, Laura, and Crystalia also come over as Darcy called out to them.

"What have you discovered Riri?" Laura asked casually with a bit of curiosity.

"You already know that I use the Mystic Arts, right?" Riri asked, to which everyone nodded.

"Well, the point is that in order to cast spells, we sorcerers draw energy from another dimension that is dominated by a dimensional being, who allows us to do so"

"Because I was curious, I invented a detector of these dimensions, tracking their energy"

"Right now, I just used it, and this place is such a dimension, that is, it must be dominated by a dimensional being"

Hearing this far from Riri's explanation, everyone becomes alert.

Seeing that, Riri continues her explanation to calm them down.

"You should not worry, if that dimensional being existed in this place, we would have already been warned or in the worst case, killed"

"But since that is not the case, there is only one answer. This place no longer has a dimensional master, as he has long since passed away, thus this place does not have a master and is just abandoned"

"Besides, don't you remember that Alex said that this place was invaded by a being named Annihilus?"

When Riri finished speaking, they all let out a tired sigh and also felt embarrassed since Alex actually told them about Annihilus, so at first they shouldn't worry about a dimensional being since that guy hasn't been killed, there was nothing to worry about.

Riri smiled with amusement, as she realized that they had forgotten that the Fantastic Four, which Susan Storm belonged to, had also come to that place.

Alex and Susan also listened to their conversation through the intercom.

Susan was surprised by what she heard, even though she didn't know much about magic, after being in Genosha, she already has a bit of knowledge.

If what Riri said was true, then they were very lucky, but she also started cursing Reed Richards for his foolishness.

Just the thought of meeting a dimensional being sent shivers down Susan's spine.

Alex became thoughtful, he already had the same idea as Riri since in some cases, that place also gave their powers to the Fantastic Four in another universe.

And in that universe, Doctor Doom learned to master the secrets of the Negative Zone.

Although Alex didn't like that movie very much.

The Negative Zone was always a mystery, and Alex doesn't have much interest in finding out either.

As long as that brings benefits to Genosha and its resources and helps maintain relations with other countries, that's enough.

Also, Riri is more suited to unraveling its mysteries.

After Riri explained everything about the Negative Zone.

They didn't worry anymore and continued to do their thing.

Riri, using her expertise in the Mystic Arts and drawing energy from other dimensions, began to connect with the energy in the Negative Zone environment.

After a few minutes had passed, there was no change.

But that didn't make Riri lose heart, on the contrary it only improved her concentration and kept trying.

At that moment something extraordinary happened, around the fingers of Riri's suit you could see sparks of greenish energy and if you look inside the suit, Riri's eyes glowed the same color.

While Riri was excited, the group didn't realize that their presence had already been noticed by the emperor of that place.

Annihilus.
