Chapter 402 The Third-Party Dimensional Realm

*Boom!*

The surrounding spacetime shattered and spun, with colorful lights flashing chaotically.

Kyle was enveloped by a strange and mysterious force, which didn't cause him any substantial harm. It was akin to the Bifrost, forcibly transporting him from the Kree Supreme Temple where he was originally located to an unknown location in space.

Every second felt unbearably long and he felt as if he was traversing billions of light-years. After a full half-minute, the transmission speed gradually slowed down, coming to a complete stop on the other side of the universe.

After the prolonged transmission, Kyle shook his head, and his chaotic consciousness instantly recovered clarity.

Looking around, Kyle realized he was no longer in a familiar place but standing on a rugged asteroid's surface.

Although it was an asteroid, its overall radius was only about a hundred meters, yet its gravitational force was astonishingly strong, nearly twenty times that of Earth's. The temperature was similarly surprisingly low, well below zero degrees Celsius, making it unsuitable for ordinary life to survive.

Kyle looked up, seeing a dark and silent expanse of space overhead. The twinkling stars seemed distant yet gave an illusion of proximity.

"Vis, where are we?" Kyle asked aloud, his voice echoing back and forth in this vast and boundless space.

The intelligent wristwatch beeped, and Vis, who was always online, quickly responded, "Master, I'm not sure. There have been no communication signals captured in the nearby light-years, and the galaxy map data I updated doesn't contain the coordinates of this place."

"I underestimated Ronan. That Kree Divine Weapon of his actually has teleportation capabilities similar to the Bifrost. Perhaps we've been transported to a remote star system beyond the jurisdiction of the known Galaxy."

Kyle furrowed his brows lightly. For others, being stranded in such a place would be akin to a death sentence.

But Kyle was different. With his Card Space storing a large amount of supplies and fusion energy that allowed him to fly through space, even if he were transported outside of the Nine Realms, he would only need to spend some extra time flying back.

With that in mind, Kyle activated the fusion energy, and his body emitted bursts of dazzling light.

He pushed off forcefully with his feet, igniting from the asteroid's surface like a humanoid fighter jet, and accelerated in a random direction at the speed of light.

At his fastest speed in space, the speed of light was the standard, but when he reached his maximum speed, there were faint signs of surpassing the speed of light.

Countless stars retreated rapidly on both sides, as Kyle instructed Vis to watch for signs of civilization and signals, flying exploratively along the way. After flying for about half an hour, he estimated.

But the longer he flew, the more Kyle realized something was amiss. Initially pinpointing starlight as a target, he had already crossed the central region of the Galaxy, yet the distance to that point of starlight remained the same as when he first saw it.

No matter how far he flew, it seemed impossible to reach that distant area.

With the intense consumption of fusion energy within him, Kyle was sweating profusely. Thinking it best to rest for a moment, he descended onto a nearby asteroid.

As he scanned the planetary environment, Kyle suddenly froze and said, "Vis, have you noticed that the asteroid we're standing on is very similar to the original departure point?"

"Not just similar, master. The asteroid we're currently on is the same one we arrived at before, with identical gravitational and magnetic fields," Vis replied, equally baffled by the current situation.

Flying faster than light for half an hour, only to return to the starting point?

Kyle stroked his chin, as if he had realized something crucial, and asked, "Vis, how long did I just fly?"

"According to the system calculation, it was three minutes... no, it should be thirty minutes... or was it three days?... three years?" Vis's system seemed to be malfunctioning as it stuttered in response.

"I see." Kyle took a deep breath, his face more serious than ever before.

Vis, feeling puzzled asked back, "Master, what have you realized? I've found that my system can't accurately calculate the passage of time here."

"Of course, it can't be calculated, because this isn't our original universe; it's a dimensional realm devoid of the concepts of time and space."

Kyle sighed before he casually picked up a small stone from the ground and tossed it forcefully into the space beyond the asteroid. The stone disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Unable to know how long had passed, he only felt like a while had gone by.

*Whoosh!* Suddenly, Kyle reached behind him, grabbing the stone he had thrown away. This confirmed his suspicions, making his expression even more stern.

In this dimensional world devoid of time concepts, even Vis couldn't calculate. After staying for a while, it was impossible to determine how much time had actually passed— it could be an instant, or it could have been decades.

With no concept of space, no matter where one flew, no matter how far, one would eventually return to the starting point. Even the thrown stone would return to its point of origin.

"I didn't expect that besides Dormammu's Dark Dimension and the Sorcerer's Mirror Dimension, there are more unknown third-party dimensional realms," Kyle murmured. If he had the Eye of Agamotto, he might have been able to use the Mirror Dimension as an intermediary to return to the normal world.

But now, even he couldn't find a means of escape in a moment.

"Master, something is approaching us!" Suddenly, Vis alerted him vigilantly.

"Yeah, I sense it too." Kyle looked to the side, seeing a floating mass of mercury-like liquid emerging from outer space, rolling and landing on the asteroid, flowing towards him.

Approaching to within five meters, the mercury liquid suddenly surged up, shaping itself into a female figure. The details of the figure gradually became clear, quickly transforming into a stunning blonde girl.

The girl was dressed in an old-fashioned white nurse uniform, with sapphire-like eyes, long and fluttering eyelashes, and a pure and flawless smile that resembled an angel.

Kyle trembled as he looked at the person in front of him, blurting out, "Lucy? What are you doing here?"

The golden-haired girl maintained her sweet smile and said gently to Kyle, "I never expected that another lifeform would enter here."

"You're not Lucy. Who are you exactly? Why did you transform into Lucy's appearance?" Kyle's joy dissipated, and he stared coldly at the figure, with bursts of light accompanying his surging killing intent.

"Me? You can call me 'Supreme Intelligence'."

The golden-haired girl smiled and looked down at her own appearance, then said gently to Kyle, "Listen, I harbor no ill will towards you. I'm just a consciousness, without an external form. My incarnation is simply based on the person that others think of. This way of conversing should make you more comfortable."

"No, I don't want you to look like her."

With a flick of his hand, Kyle blasted the golden-haired girl into pieces with a burst of light.

The consciousness of the Supreme Intelligence shattered, but quickly reformed, this time taking on the appearance of a new starlet. She spread her hands helplessly and said, "Is this okay?"
