Marvel: Beginning with the Collection of Shinra Tensei

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Master of Illusions



Han Yu's words were true. His emerald-green eyes, tinged with streaks of deep crimson light, instantly penetrated Ebony Maw's gaze, spreading throughout his mind.

"Before, using Green Lantern energy alone, I couldn't achieve perfect illusions. But now, with the addition of the Reality Stone—an endless supply of Green Lantern energy combined with its power—I am truly invincible in the realm of illusions."

In that instant, Han Yu's consciousness invaded Ebony Maw's mind. The latter, after all, was a master of arcane magic, with magical strength comparable to, if not greater than, the Ancient One. Naturally, his mental defenses were formidable.

Unfortunately, in front of Han Yu, those defenses were ruthlessly torn apart. Every single memory within Ebony Maw's mind was laid bare before him.

"Oh, this guy is seriously impressive. These spells in his mind would all be classified as forbidden magic on Earth."

Seeing the vast collection of spells stored in Ebony Maw's memory, Han Yu couldn't help but be surprised. Since he was inside the enemy's mind, he could directly witness how Ebony Maw cast these powerful spells.

He couldn't help but think that movies had vastly underplayed his abilities. If Thanos weren't above him, Ebony Maw alone would have been more than enough to invade Earth single-handedly.

In terms of magical prowess, he was in no way inferior to the Ancient One, and when it came to raw offensive power, he might even surpass her.

"Compared to this, the sorcery of the Sanctum Sanctorum really does seem like child's play. Every spell Ebony Maw uses is incredibly lethal."

Han Yu muttered to himself. Within Ebony Maw's mind, his spiritual energy manifested into a book. With a single thought, all the magic stored in Ebony Maw's brain was inscribed into it.

At the same time, he also extracted information about Thanos' invasion plan for Earth.

"Well, that was easy—effortless, really. Now, enjoy your 'beautiful nightmare'!"

Han Yu chuckled as he withdrew from Ebony Maw's consciousness. Using the power of the Green Lantern ring and the Reality Stone, he left behind visions of the things Ebony Maw feared the most, trapping him in an endless mental loop.

Ebony Maw stood frozen in place, his empty eyes staring blankly ahead. His face showed no emotion, but upon closer inspection, his facial muscles were trembling ever so slightly.

"What's wrong with him?"

Wanda asked, confused. To the outside world, Han Yu had simply glanced at Ebony Maw for a brief second. From their perspective, nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

And yet, in that instant, Ebony Maw had become completely unresponsive.

"I cast an illusion on him—one he'll thoroughly 'enjoy.' Don't worry, his willpower won't hold out for long."

Han Yu smirked.

All that nonsense about breaking illusions through sheer willpower? A complete lie.

A true master of illusions would never allow their craft to be shattered just because their target had strong beliefs. If that were the case, they'd be better off mopping floors than practicing illusions.

To break free from an illusion, you either had to be stronger than the one casting it or find a flaw in the illusion itself.

Belief alone? That was nothing but a fairy tale.

"You can use illusions? You've never mentioned this before!"

Wanda stared at him in shock. She had studied illusions at the Sanctum Sanctorum, but even for her, they required careful practice and precise hand seals to execute.

What Han Yu had just done—casting an illusion with just a glance—was unbelievably powerful. She doubted even the Ancient One could achieve such a feat.

Seeing the admiration in Wanda's eyes, Han Yu seemed to have a sudden thought. He glanced at Ebony Maw, then at Wanda, and suddenly clapped his fist into his palm.

"I just came up with a great idea!"

Without hesitation, Han Yu dragged Ebony Maw into his shop, casually tossing him into a corner. Then, he turned to Wanda and the other woman beside her, leading them toward his workshop.

"Wanda, you want to learn this kind of illusion, don't you?" Han Yu asked.

"Of course, I do!" Wanda eagerly nodded.

"Great, I have a way. Just wait a moment."

Han Yu opened the system inventory of his general store. Now, he had complete control over its contents and could take out anything at will. With just a thought, three items appeared in his hands.

"What is this? A book, a bottle of eye drops… and an… eyeball?!"

Seeing the third item in Han Yu's hand, Wanda couldn't help but shudder. It was indeed an actual eyeball, bloodshot and unsettling.

But there was something unusual about it. Unlike a normal human eye with a white sclera and a pupil, this entire eyeball was a strange, eerie red. At its center, there was a small black dot, encircled by a black ring adorned with comma-like symbols.

Wanda's face paled at the sight, making Han Yu chuckle. He said, "Don't underestimate this eye. This is a Sharingan—it naturally contains powerful illusion abilities. But since I doubt you'd be willing to replace your own eye, I have another idea."

Seeing the peculiar eyeball, Wanda was still hesitant. She asked, "Another idea…? What exactly do you mean? And why do you have a bottle of eye drops? Also, what's that book for?"

Han Yu smiled and explained, "This book contains the magic I extracted from Ebony Maw's mind. It's quite impressive, so I plan to transplant its knowledge into this Sharingan. That way, you'll be able to use it too."

"As for the eye drops, you'll find out soon enough."

With that, Han Yu walked toward the workshop. He slightly narrowed his eyes and spread his palms upward. Instantly, the three objects floated into the air.

Green Lantern energy enveloped all three items, and Han Yu himself levitated slightly, hovering about a dozen centimeters above the ground.

The cap of the eye drop bottle popped open, and Han Yu used the Green Lantern energy to wrap the Sharingan inside it. Then, he began breaking it down.

The originally green energy threads turned blood-red.

With one hand, Han Yu directed the disassembled Sharingan, while his other hand manipulated the eye drop bottle. The essence of the Sharingan, now infused within the red energy threads, was gradually transferred into the bottle.

Carefully controlling the fusion process, the once-clear and transparent eye drops slowly turned blood-red.

Wanda and the other woman watched the entire process with bewildered expressions. The way Han Yu disassembled an eyeball and infused it into a bottle of eye drops was both bizarre and unsettling.

Thankfully, the atmosphere in the room remained normal—Han Yu hadn't dimmed the lights or added any eerie effects for drama. Otherwise, Wanda and her companion might have genuinely thought he was conducting some kind of dark ritual.

The process didn't take long. Before they knew it, Han Yu was back on the ground. Of the three items he originally held, only one remained—the bottle of eye drops.
