Chapter 196: Agatha Harkness

"What?"

Wanda and Vision exclaimed at the same time. Wanda was surprised and puzzled, while Vision was simply confused.

"Yes, and I don't know if it's a coincidence, but there's another witch in this town."

Jack looked out the window and said, "That witch has large power and can barely match you in your current state."

"She has the ability to escape your influence, but she chose to stay here and play house with you. I think she may have some ulterior motives."

"So, we need to deal with her first."

"Do you know who it is?"

"Your neighbor."

Jack pointed to the woman outside, carrying a basket and smiling.

Although she disguised it well, in Jack's eyes, her immense magical power was as bright as a thousand-watt light in the dark.

"Agnes?"

Wanda and Vision looked over and realized it was their strange neighbor.

"Is it really her?"

Wanda found it hard to believe because she had interacted with Agnes many times and never noticed anything unusual.

"It's best to ask her face to face."

Jack gestured for Agnes, who was walking towards the door.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell rang right on time, and Wanda and Vision exchanged glances.

Vision walked over to open the door.

"Hey, not working today?"

Agnes, seeing Vision, expressed surprise, "I hope your new boss doesn't like snapping his fingers."

This was clearly a metaphor for the scene where Vision's head was crushed by Thanos in the Battle of Wakanda.

Vision pondered for a moment, as if he had realized something, while Wanda's expression turned gloomy.

She hadn't paid much attention to Agnes's strange words while immersed in her own illusion.

But now, after waking up, she realized that Agnes had indeed said some similar things before.

From what Jack had said, everything seemed very suspicious.

The atmosphere grew tense, and Vision quietly stepped back to stand beside Wanda.

The couple looked at Agnes with caution.

Agnes also sensed that something was off, and right at that moment, Jack walked up to the door.

When seeing him, Agnes's face lit up, and she pretended to be surprised, saying, "Oh, you have guests. I'll come back later and not disturb you."

She turned to leave, but as soon as she turned around, her steps stopped.

Because Jack was standing right in front of her.

At this moment, the smile on Agnes's face had completely disappeared.

Although she didn't know where she had slipped, she was sure that she had been exposed.

"Agnes? Is that your real name?"

Jack rested his chin on his hand and scrutinized her thoughtfully.

"Oh, actually, I'm Agatha Harkness."

Agnes... or rather, Agatha Harkness, after a brief moment of thinking, decided to wait and see what would happen.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm also a friend of Wanda's."

"No, you're not my friend!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Wanda stepped out of the house, Chaos Magic gathering in her hand, watching Agatha cautiously.

"Who are you? What's your purpose?"

Wanda was angry and a little frightened.

With her control over Westview, and a witch living next door whom she had been in contact with every day, Wanda hadn't noticed anything unusual about her.

Thinking about it carefully, if Agatha wanted to kill her, she had many opportunities.

But Wanda wouldn't consider her a good person just because she hadn't acted yet. It could only mean that Agatha had bigger plans in her mind.

"Oh, Wanda, that's really hurtful of you to say."

Agatha's expression was like that of a mistress abandoned by her scumbag lover, as if Wanda were that scumbag.

"I just gave you a birthday present yesterday! Did you forget?"

Birthday present?

Wanda was taken aback for a moment, and then it clicked on her. Her face changed slightly, but before she could react...

Agnes suddenly transformed into a burst of purple smoke and disappeared.

At the same time, the sound of two children crying for help came from upstairs.

"This jerk!"

Wanda cursed angrily and flew up to the second-floor balcony, controlling her body.

Meanwhile, Vision phased through the ceiling and arrived on the second floor.

Jack remained in place, his gaze set on the spot where Agnes disappeared, lost in thought.

Bang!!

The second-floor window suddenly shattered, and Vision's body flew out, crashing into Wanda.

The couple tumbled to the ground together.

At this moment, the changed Agnes slowly flew out of the window, with two children bound by a magical vine behind her.

"Wanda, I had intended to be gentle, but it seems you don't appreciate my gentleness."

Agnes had a smile on her face, but it was weird when combined with her ragged witch clothes.

"What... what do you want?"

Wanda helped Vision up, wanting to take action, but the children made her hesitate.

"I want you, Wanda, You're unique!"

"You possess the greatest power in the entire multiverse, but you only use it to play house, It's blasphemy, Wanda."

"If you can't control it, then give me that power."

When hearing this, Wanda and Vision finally understood.

All this fuss was about Wanda's powers, but Agnes' mention of the greatest power in the multiverse surprised Wanda.

She recalled the experiment where she gained her powers, and the woman she saw in the light of the Mind Stone.

That was... that should be... herself.

Before Agnes could say anything else, Jack's voice interrupted from the side.

"Oh, sorry to interrupt."

Jack raised his hand and looked at Agnes with curiosity in his eyes.

"What's your relationship with the Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj?"

Jack asked with a purpose.

Just now, he carefully sensed Agnes's power and saw that it was mixed with Kamar-Taj's magic.

This discovery caught him off guard.

Could it be... that Agnes had also left from Kamar-Taj?

"Kamar-Taj?"

Agatha paused for a moment and said, "No, I don't know them. Is there a problem?"

If an ordinary person had asked her that, Agatha would have switched out immediately.

But knowing that Jack was someone unaffected by Chaos Magic, she didn't want to be enemies with him unless necessary.

"I'll find out for myself."

Jack casually said, not believing Agatha. He quickly appeared in front of her, and as she looked puzzled, he placed two fingers on her forehead.

"I don't have much experience with this, so it might hurt a bit. Endure it!"

He told her to endure it and then turned on the Mind Stone's ability. In the time it took her to take a breath, Jack had seen her whole life.

"Umm..."

After watching this long movie that lasted over three hundred years, Jack fell into deep thought.

Agatha was a Salem witch who had been alive for over three hundred years. In 1693, she was sentenced in the Witchcraft Trials for practicing dark magic.

During the execution, she used black magic to drain the magical life force of several witches, including her own mentor, causing them to wither and die.

Since then, she has been walking the world, encountering many things over the past three hundred years.

She had even encountered Kamar-Taj's sorcerers and absorbed their powers.

That's why Jack sensed the magic of Kamar-Taj magic inside her power.

Agatha knew about Chaos Magic and the Scarlet Witch because of a book called "The Darkhold," created by the god of chaos, Chthon.

It described Chaos Magic and the Scarlet Witch deeply.

And that book was currently in Agatha's basement.
