Marvel Cybernetic Girl

"Hmph-hmph-hmph… hehehahahaha—HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

With a sweep of both arms, Kaecilius unleashed a surge of vivid green eldritch energy—the chaotic might of the Dark Dimension, gifted by Dormammu himself.

"You foolish little girl," he sneered, his eyes glowing with madness.

"Dimensional sorcery isn't something you can master with empty bravado or reckless ambition. You're nothing but a rookie—no, less than that."

"I've never even heard of you. For you to survive even one second against me is a miracle in itself!"

Green flames blazed wildly in the air, the dark power from Dormammu threatening to consume everything in its path.

It wasn't mere fire—it was the spectral blaze of the abyss, the nightmarish projection of Dormammu into the mortal world.

"Come on, nameless girl! Throw every spell you've got at me!" Kaecilius shouted, eyes wide with arrogance.

"I'll crush every last ounce of your resistance and end your life in the most painful way imaginable."

"I'll show you—against a true master of the Mystic Arts, even the Sorcerer Supreme wouldn't stand a chance!"

Before Kagura, the eldritch energy roared like a typhoon crashing into a tidal wave.

And Kaecilius wasn't wrong.

When it came to pure dimensional sorcery, his power far surpassed Kagura's, even with her explosive growth from devouring half the mystic library.

This was Dormammu's gift—no, his temptation.

A destructive power granted in exchange for eternal damnation.

A power so profound… it could only be called a miracle.

With the Ancient One out of commission, Kaecilius truly was the strongest dimensional sorcerer in the world.

But then again…

'Who ever said I was going to fight you with dimensional sorcery?'

As Kaecilius stood poised for a magical duel, expecting a clash of sorceries, Kagura slowly raised her right hand.

In the next instant, a massive, black-and-white handgun with golden accents materialized in Kagura's hand.

If your power is a miracle…

'Then I'll destroy it with another miracle.'

Mourn, tremble—

This is the power that connects infinite worlds.

The power at the edge of the cosmos. The power called Infinity!

Before Kaecilius could react, Kagura pulled the trigger.

"Judgment—Unleashed!"

BOOM!

A searing stream of fire, concentrated like a laser, pierced directly through Kaecilius's chest in a single instant!

The poor fool had prepared for a magical duel, countermeasures ready for every form of mystic attack.

But what struck him was something far beyond that—something akin to a divine phenomenon.

Pure flame.

Pure heat.

A devastating, physical force with no trace of sorcery.

"Wh… what is this?!"

Kaecilius stared blankly at the hole in his chest, smoke rising from the wound.

His eyes filled with disbelief.

"This… this isn't magic! What did you do?!"

Kagura smiled gently and lifted the still-smoking barrel to her lips, blowing away the last wisp of smoke.

"Times have changed, old man," she said coolly. "In battle, it's kill or be killed. No rules, no fairness—because the moment a fight begins, every combatant is already guilty."

"You… you're not… playing by the—"

'THUD!'

Kaecilius collapsed, rage and disbelief frozen on his face.

With his defeat, the warped and torn reality around them began to slowly stabilize.

"…Is it over?" Mordo climbed to his feet, staring at Kaecilius' fallen body.

"How… how did you do that? Normal weapons can't even scratch a sorcerer! Dimensional energy should've blocked it entirely!"

"Oh, that?" Kagura gave him a sweet smile and twirled the handgun in her fingers. "This isn't just any gun."

This is Judgment of Shamash—a weapon forged by a crazy magician by just using a remain of a god (Herrscher).

'Thankfully, I didn't have to use its sword form to end this fight…'

She glanced at a new icon that had just appeared on her skills list, and a chill ran down her spine.

[Core Energy Cost: 90%]

Yeah… that's a real self-sacrifice move. No kidding.

'VRRRRRMMM!'

Just as Kagura was about to clean up the battlefield, a new threat emerged.

A swirling vortex of emerald darkness appeared beneath Kaecilius's body—an unholy spiral of power from another dimension, devouring his corpse.

There was no doubt.

Even from just this sliver of interference…

Dormammu had arrived.

"What… what is that?!"* Mordo's eyes went wide with terror, his mind buckling under the weight of Dormammu's presence.

He froze, unable to think, speak, or even breathe. It was the gaze of the abyss.

Fortunately, the Reality Stone within Kagura's body activated just in time, shielding her from total collapse.

Even so, her head throbbed from the pressure.

The next moment, Kaecilius's body was completely consumed by the dark vortex, transformed into pure energy and absorbed into the unfathomable void of the Dark Dimension.

A loyal follower… returned to his master.

Kaecilius had received eternal life and immense power from Dormammu.

Which meant, theoretically, he couldn't be killed.

Even with a direct blast from "Judgment of Shamash," Kagura had only ended his existence in this dimension temporarily.

As long as Dormammu desired, Kaecilius could always return.

Indeed, this enemy was anything but simple.

Unless Dormammu himself was eliminated, the war between the Real World and the Dark Dimension would never end.

But for now… Kamar-Taj was safe.

The Ancient One was safe. The Eye of Agamotto was safe.

Even if only for a moment, Kagura had claimed victory.

"Whew…"

'No matter what happens next… I really need to think about how to deal with both Kaecilius and Dormammu.'

Kagura dismissed the pseudo-weapon into the void and turned toward the chamber holding the Eye of Agamotto.

"If every fight is going to be like this… I'm not gonna last," she muttered. "That kind of Reality Rewrite burns through core energy and eats up tons of precious QP."

Speaking of which…

'Maybe next time I should just overwrite something like Gate of Babylon or Vault of the Void instead…'
