Spider Supreme had configured this card such that it would momentarily fill my Saint Graph to 100% energy, allowing it to manifest its true potential.

The full powered Saint Graph would transform me into the true form of the Saint Graph, a dragon. Even if this dragon form would just be a shadow of Albion's true power, it would be more than enough to erase this swarm of Chitauri out of existence in the few minutes I would have in that form.

Yet, I still hesitated to use this card even at this moment. I still had nightmares about the time I struggled with my wild instincts even though those times were far behind now. As such, I feared the side effects I could gain upon transforming into a dragon.

I was still afraid that I would not be able to control my dragon form. But now was not the time to overthink about such a matter when an army of thousands was before my eyes, ready to destroy this beautiful city.

Since Spider Supreme had not warned me about any repercussions regarding this card, I had to take the risk. There was no other option.

“(Peter).”

I was ready to use the card when I heard Ancient One's voice. I looked around to see Ancient One standing on a nearby building and waving at me.

“Come. I need a few minutes of your time.” Ancient One’s voice rang once again in my ears. It seems that Ancient One was using this method since my mind was immune to telepathy.

Could it be that Ancient One was going to act upon seeing this massive Chitauri army? I immediately flew over to her to see why she had called me.

“Ancient One, have you finally decided to act?” I asked as I landed in front of her.

“Wait a moment!” Ancient One stopped me from speaking for some reason and started casting a spell.

To my surprise, the ‘Eye of Agamotto' on her neck opened, revealing the green glowing gem inside it and consequently green magic circles which seemed to contain great power appeared on Ancient One's hands.

Ancient One then casted a spell using the power of the ‘Eye of Agamotto', causing a magic circle containing the same green magic circles to be formed around us.

At first, the magic barrier seemed to be a normal one but one look outside and I knew what the barrier did.

Everything outside the barrier, from Mr. Stark’s Iron Man suit to the massive Chitauri army seemed to be moving extremely slowly, almost like they were moving in deep sea rather than in air.

I could understand what the barrier had done although it still seemed too illogical for me.

It was not that the time outside had slowed down but rather the time inside the barrier was moving much fast compared to the time outside.

“Why did you create a time barrier?” I asked since there must be a reason why she created such a special barrier.

“Because what we will do now will define the future of our world.” Ancient One said cryptically.

“You know what, Peter. I had seen using the ‘Eye of Agamotto' that this alien invasion was bound to happen. But I had thought that future had been prevented since Loki had already been captured and he was the one who had started the invasion in every single future I had seen.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

However, the result was much different. The one who is commanding everything from the shadows didn't like the fact that not only its plan had failed but an extremely important treasure had also slipped from its hands. As a result, it sent an even larger army.

At this moment, we have only two choices. Either you stop this invasion using the card or I stop it myself.”

“What will be the impact if you have to step up to stop this invasion, Ancient One?” I asked, worried about the consequences.

“Although there will likely be no reaction from the galactic side, our enemies from other dimensions will more than likely see the Sorcerer Supreme interfering in an alien invasion as a sign of weakness. They would believe that I am the only one strong enough on Earth. As such, there will be high chances of a dimensional war in the future.” Ancient One implied what could be the result of she interferred.

“Then, there is no other choice. I have to use the card.” I said as I gripped the card tightly in my hand.

“Are you sure? If you use this card, the eyes of the entire world will be on you. Even if the government can help you suppress the news, the red lightning will be more than enough for anyone to match the clues. The whole world will see you as a dragon. Will you be able to bear such pressure?” Ancient One asked me seriously since it would change my future irreparably.

“My Uncle Ben has always taught me, ‘With Great Power comes Great Responsibility'. For this much power, I am ready to bear any responsibility.” I answered with a smile.

“Then, go. Fulfill your duty.” Ancient One said as she removed the time barrier.

“I will be watching.” Ancient One said with a sad smile and disappeared.

With a deep sigh, I resolved myself as I looked at the massive Chitauri army which was slowly moving towards the city.

Resolved to destroy the entire alien invasion, I activated the card. The card turned into a stream of light which was absorbed by my body.

An involuntary chant came out of my lips as the transformation started.

“I am the Dragon of Boundary that guards the Everdistant Utopia.”

My vision turned white as my body was covered in a giant red lightning cocoon. I could feel my body transforming, becoming larger and different.

The process was rather similar to back when my Saint Graph was enhanced but it was much, much faster. Yet, there was no awkwardness in the transformation. It only felt like I was becoming whole.

“Roar~.”

A roar came out from my dragon form as I looked towards the Chitauri army around the Stark Tower.

My dragon form looked quite similar to Albion. A sleek, aerodynamic dragon whose body looked more metallic than reptilian with red lines all over its body. However, since this form was just a shadow of Albion, it was only about 4 metres long.

My body started radiating a huge pressure as the red lines on my body started to glow. A formless pressure was forming around me and even the dark clouds in the sky had started radiating crimson lightning.

Everyone, from my allies to the Chitauri army was stopped in their tracks due to the shock upon seeing my dragon form.

Feeling threatened by my appearance, the Chitauri army readied their advanced weapons and shot at me with their full might. Yet, it was useless as my scales could not even feel the heat from that massive laser barrage.

But a dragon like me didn't take one sided damage from such insects.

The red lines on my body glowed once again as my body along with my surroundings was shrouded in red lightning.

Then, with just a small boost to my wings, I flew and pierced straight through the centre of the Chitauri army, my lightning shrouded body burning through thousands of Chitauri.

The remaining Chitauri shot laser beams once again at me in a last attempt of struggle but I released massive bolts of red lightning at them, finishing even the last remnants.

Served them right! This was what these insects deserved. I felt proud for finishing this massive army in less than a minute.

Damn it! This massive power was messing with my head!

I must not forget the reason why I had taken this dragon form. It was not just to destroy this Chitauri army but to destroy this entire alien invasion in a single shot.

I flew and positioned myself right beneath the portal, giving me a clear shot of the city sized spaceship on the other side which was releasing the Chitauri even now.

The card Spider Supreme had given me had enough power for me to use the true Noble Phantasm of my Saint Graph, albeit only at a fraction of its true power.

A massive amount of heat and lightning gathered at my mouth as I readied my Noble Phantasm, the very power which was the identity of a dragon. A Dragon’s Breath!

“Disappear beneath the might of the Primordial Dragon, [Albion’s Wrath]!”
