Chapter 138 : Purpose of Chthon!
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
Suddenly, an urgent knocking echoed through the door!
"Wanda, Wanda,"
A voice akin to a demon's roar in the depths of hell emanated from beyond the door!
Wanda's face turned pale, and her heart raced as she instinctively lunged towards the second-floor window without a second thought!
Yet, in the next instant, she froze!
There was no window before her, only a piercing scarlet eye fixated on her, its malice undisguised!
This castle, rather than a sanctuary, seemed like a monstrous entity.
"Wanda! Wanda!"
The sounds outside intensified, the knocks growing more forceful!
Simultaneously, a thick black fog seeped from under the door, unfurling like fear, gradually engulfing the room and creeping towards Wanda.
Despair etched across Wanda's face; devoid of any awakened power, she had no means to resist!
No escape!
It appeared that death was the only inevitable outcome.
At this critical juncture, Wanda's eyes widened, a sudden realization striking her.
Death?!
She drew in a deep breath and shut her eyes.
The next moment, as her eyes reopened, they gleamed with newfound determination!
Without hesitation, she seized a candlestick, extracted the candle, and thrust it towards her heart!
Crimson blood sprayed forth, Wanda's eyes glazed over, and with a thud, she collapsed to the ground.
She had taken her own life!
There was no demonic roar from beyond the door; the scarlet eye retreated from the windows.
In the following second, a gentle breeze swept through the room, and the black mist transformed into the visage of the witch, Agatha.
She gazed down at Wanda's lifeless form, devoid of reluctance and anger. Instead, a subtle smile graced the corners of her lips.
"First step, accomplished..."
Simultaneously, in a distant dimension, Chthon, with dark eyes, exhibited a sinister grin.
"The first step, fulfilled."
In a secure bunker, several vivid purple runes illuminated the surroundings. Agatha observed the frantic Wanda with a gentle smile, a prideful expression on her face.
"Don't be astonished, dear. This is the Rooney rune," Agatha declared. "Only its creator, that is, I, can wield magic in this place."
As if reminiscing, Agatha continued with a smile, "By the way, let me introduce myself. I'm Agatha Harkness, and it's a pleasure to formally meet you."
In a triumphant tone, Agatha revealed her origins to Wanda. She recounted being a centuries-old witch condemned by a coven for her research on dark magic. "However, in the end, I drained everyone's mana, even the very witch assembly that sought to kill me, including my own mother!"
Drawn to an immense magical power, Agatha identified Wanda as its source. In an instant, she extracted a strand of Wanda's hair and performed magic to unveil a door.
"Open this door, and behold - Wanda's childhood home!"
Sokovia, amidst civil war, witnessed a shell striking Wanda's home. Her parents perished instantly, but a second shell, expected to explode, turned out to be a dud.
Offscreen, Tony shrugged, "Though I regret this scene, I must insist that Stark Industries does not manufacture defective products."
A year ago, when Obadiah Stane was alive, Deadpool speculated that Stark Industries' stock would have plummeted if this video had surfaced.
Having overheard Tony's comment, Deadpool nodded in agreement, "You're right. Wanda altered the missile's explosion probability to zero."
Finally, viewers from other worlds comprehended that Wanda's abilities weren't solely derived from the mind scepter; the Mind Stone merely awakened her latent powers.
"Now, onto the second gate, the third gate, the fourth gate!"
With each progression, Wanda's abilities intensified, but at a cost—her brother's demise, her lover's death, and ultimately, Vision's dismemberment.
Wave after wave, Wanda, once standing tall, was relentlessly knocked down. In the end, on the very foundation of the house where happiness should have thrived, Wanda crumbled.
[The surge of Chaos magic breached the barrier like a tide!]
"It truly is an incredibly tragic existence, and the fabricated world we're currently in is on the verge of collapsing...
Numerous hearts sighed, pondering whether this tragedy was a result of power or if power emerged from tragedy.
[Observing the tide-like power capable of altering everything, Agatha burst into excited laughter!]
[Indeed!!]
[She could finally affirm that this is the all-encompassing chaos magic from the tales of witches!!]
[The screen dimmed, and upon its return, Wanda noticed that the purple energy binding her had vanished, and Agatha was nowhere to be seen.]
[At that moment, the desperate cries of her twins echoed from outside."
[Wanda rushed out, witnessing her children manipulated by Agatha, who sneered at her.]
["I've already uncovered your true identity; you have no idea how perilous you are!]
["You could have attained a god-like existence, but instead, you employ this power to manipulate reality at home!!)
[In the next instant, Agatha's expression suddenly shifted, appearing alluring and provocative:]
["Since you enjoy manipulating reality so much, why not strike a deal, Wanda."
["Share your power with me, and I'll reserve a corner of the world for you, dealing with other troubles on your behalf."
[How could Wanda still trust the other party's words?
[She raised her hand, scarlet energy surging forth, striking Agatha and sending her flying!]
[Yet, in the following moment, Agatha rose again, laughter escaping her lips.
[And that chaotic magic was absorbed into Agatha's body.]
A cold gaze manifested in Gu's eyes beyond the screen.
She had discerned that Agatha's power of black magic was undeniably Chthon's power!
Truly ignorant of the consequences!
Upon deeper reflection, as long as Chthon willed it, Agatha would immediately become a puppet!
And considering it could be cultivated to such potency, the Book of Darkhold must undoubtedly be in the adversary's possession!
A looming crisis is upon us!
It appears that I'll have to embark on a journey after watching this video!
However, she isn't certain about reuniting with each other!
Rats can survive for so many years; they must have their own means of survival.
[Wanda refrained from direct energy attacks, choosing instead to manipulate a car to ram Agatha into a nearby house!]
[In this critical moment, Vision makes an appearance.
[However, his body is no longer red but white."]
[Wanda, initially thrilled at the prospect of Vision's resurrection, is horrified the next second when White Vision attempts to crush her head with both hands!]
[At the decisive moment, Vision intervenes and engages in a battle with White Vision.]
At S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury wears a perplexed expression.
Unexpectedly, the fool did manage to restore Vision, but it appears to be a different consciousness altogether.
The plot remains foolish; why use Vision to deceive Wanda? Why execute combat orders?
There are clearly better options, yet the worst ones are consistently chosen.
What a waste!
In the S.W.O.R.D, Maria Rambo, the director of the S.W.O.R.D, who survived her illness, is also a teammate of Captain Marvel.
At this juncture, an order is issued to directly demote Taylor Hayward's position by three levels.
This individual lacks foresight and must not be allowed to assume a high position in the future.
[The battle rages on; Wanda relentlessly pursues Agatha!]
[However, instead of engaging in combat, the opponent uses magic to sever the strings controlling the puppet!]
[The crowd, no longer under control, converges towards Wanda!]
[There's no fear on their faces; instead, they're angry and question Wanda about her actions!]
[If words hold power, they could tear Wanda apart in an instant!]
"DC World:
Lucifer laughs evily.
"Father, see this; it's a foolish human."
"When confronted with a being much stronger than oneself, if the other party is kind, you become aggressive and show no reverence for power!"
"But when faced with an evil existence, you'd probably cry and beg for mercy..."
"Cough cough!"
