Chapter 6: The Queen's Praise, Morgana's Recruitment!
"Troubles keep coming one after another. Normally, I don't hit women, but since you're so eager to fight, I won't hold back." Tony looked up at Morgana, already thinking of at least a hundred ways to deal with her.
In the technologically advanced universe of Super God, Morgana was undoubtedly one of the most powerful beings. However, in front of someone like Tony, who had mastered the Omnitrix, she seemed a little underwhelming.
After all, the Omnitrix contained the DNA of over a million different alien species. With just a thought, he could transform into any one of them.
The only downside was that the sheer variety of alien forms meant he hadn't mastered them all yet. For now, he focused on the ones he had trained extensively with.

In Mid-Air
Morgana extended her demonic claws, smashing the green crystal pillars that had trapped Atto, temporarily freeing him.
"My Queen, I have failed you. Please punish me…" Atto knelt on one knee, gripping his sword tightly, his voice filled with guilt.
"It's not your fault," Morgana replied. "You were just recently resurrected and haven't yet regained your full power. Rest for now—I'll handle the rest."
She then turned her piercing gaze toward Tony, as if she were analyzing a fascinating specimen.
In all her thousands of years of existence, she had never encountered someone who could switch between different biological forms at will.
She had to figure out his secret. If she could, she would make Tony one of her own.
"Not bad," Morgana smirked. "You managed to defeat Atto. I like that. How about joining me? Become my warrior, and I'll give you anything you desire."
Her eyes gleamed as she tapped into the dark plane, attempting to rewrite Tony's mind.
This was the same technique she had used in the past—manipulating dark data to rewrite someone's memories and turn them into loyal subordinates.
Unfortunately for her, Tony wasn't from this universe.
There was no dark data record of him anywhere.
Even worse for Morgana, the Omnitrix itself had built-in protection, making her mental attacks completely ineffective.
"Join you? Dream on." Tony sneered and raised his arms. Within seconds, countless green crystal projectiles shot toward Morgana.
Morgana raised a hand, summoning her demonic claws to block the attack. While the Diamondhead form had incredible destructive power, it was not enough to break through her defenses.
Realizing his ranged attacks were ineffective, Tony shifted tactics. The Omnitrix on his wrist flashed, and flames erupted around him as he transformed into Heatblast.
Raising his hands, he gathered a massive amount of heat, compressing it into a single, concentrated fireball.
"Flame Bombardment Cannon!" Tony shouted as he unleashed a colossal stream of fire, scorching the air as it surged toward Morgana.
Watching the attack approach, Morgana's lips curled into a smirk.
"Playing with fire against me? You're still too inexperienced, kid."
With a flick of her wrist, her massive demonic claw slashed through the air.
Boom!
The fiery blast shattered into countless sparks, dissipating harmlessly.
Tony frowned. He had expected this.
Even so, his frustration caused his flames to burn hotter. In extreme anger, Heatblast's power could reach near-stellar levels.
But he wasn't angry enough to unlock that level of destruction yet.
Still, he wasn't about to give up.
He quickly spread his hands, releasing dozens of fireballs—not directly at Morgana, but all around her.
Arms crossed, Morgana scoffed. "Kid, are you even aiming?"
Then she noticed something.
The fireballs had frozen in mid-air, creating a dense ring around her.
"So that was your plan." Morgana glanced around but remained unfazed.
With her mastery of wormhole manipulation, she could easily teleport all of those fireballs right back at Tony.
But she didn't want to end things too quickly. If Tony wanted a fight, she would teach him a lesson.
"Explode!" Tony clasped his hands together.
BOOM!
The fireballs all detonated at once, engulfing Morgana in a sea of flames.
The explosion shook the battlefield. The heatwave spread in all directions, while smoke and debris filled the air.
Despite the devastating blast, Tony remained on high alert.
He knew better than to assume Morgana had been taken out so easily.
Sure enough…
Boom!
From within the smoke, a massive demonic claw emerged, cutting through the haze. Moments later, Morgana stepped out, completely unharmed.
"As expected…" Tony muttered, unfazed.
It looked like he would have to switch to a stronger alien to take her down.
Morgana let out a laugh, shaking off some embers from her armor.
"That was close," she admitted. "If I hadn't prepared, even my fourth-generation divine body might've felt that one."
She narrowed her eyes at Tony, her curiosity growing.
She still couldn't access any dark plane data on him. It was as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
It reminded her of something…
Perhaps an alternate biological plane? Or even… the Ultimate Fear?
Even if it had nothing to do with that, she had to capture Tony.
His ability to shift between species at will was far too valuable. If she could unlock that secret, she could revolutionize her entire demon army.
And once she achieved that…
She would finally have the power to hunt down and destroy her greatest enemy—Holy Keisha.
