Ch. 120

"Well, that settles it. How about you guys? Do you have any plans to return to your world?" After patting his hands, Xyrus looked back and asked Dr. Strange and America.

"Can you?" Dr. Strange was quiet for a few seconds before looking at America who shook her head and said.

"In order for me to use my power, I need to feel intense emotions first, like fear or shock, something like that."

"There's another solution. You could give me your power and I could bring you back to your world." The moment his voice fell, America immediately backed away and looked at him in fear.

Dr. Strange stepped forward and looked at Xyrus in vigilance. Although he knew that they're no match for the man in front of them, but Dr. Strange still has to try.

Seeing their cautious expressions, Xyrus knew that they're mislead by what he just said so he immediately cleared up his intentions.

"Whatever you both are thinking. Then they're wrong. This power is more like a curse to you right, America?"

"Don't worry, I have a method that won't harm you. After all, I don't have the Darkhold, so my method isn't dangerous."

Falling into contemplation after what Xyrus said, America knew that he was right, this power of hers is more like a curse than a blessing.

She has lost her parents because of this, and was forced to travel between universes without a home to stay into.

Then, there's also the Scarlet Witch that also wanted her powers and her method could kill her.

This only leaves her to one choice.

"I accept. What do I do?" With a determined expression, America agreed.

"Wait, hold on. Are you sure? What if he's lying?" Dr. Strange interrupted before facing America and whispered.

"Stop controlling my every actions, I know what I'm doing! I've long since wanted to get rid of this powers the moment I accidentally killed my parents!" Tears slowly streamed down on her cheeks as she revealed to Dr. Strange.

Dr. Strange was silent as he heard this, to be honest, ever since he and America came to this world, he did nothing but to control every movements of America and himself.

It turns out, it has been very uncomfortable to America.

"I'm sorry." Dr. Strange knew that he was wrong, so he didn't hesitate to apologize.

"...It's fine." After wiping her tears, she forgave him before looking back at Xyrus who has been watching the drama unfold.

"Come with me back to the Sanctum, we'll settle this there." Seeing America's gaze at him, Xyrus informed them before disappearing along with them.

Back in the Sanctum, exactly where they last chatted, Xyrus appeared alongside them.

"This would be simple. Just lie down on the mattress, and let me do the job." Xyrus said while America looked around and saw no mattress.

"Uhmmmm?" Seeing her questioning look, Xyrus pointed at the floor beside him.

"That mattress."

When America looked at the place where he pointed, she shockingly saw a white mattress there.

'I swear I looked everywhere and I didn't see that there.' America was amazed, but she didn't stay idle and did as told. She lied down on the mattress and saw Xyrus crouching beside her.

"I'll just search up your body and soul, just to know if this power of yours originates from your body and genes or it comes from your soul." Xyrus reminded her as he tap his finger on her forehead and a bright light surrounds her from her head to toe before dissipating.

'It's not from her body, then it must be from her soul.' Xyrus thought as he casted another spell, but this time, it's directly on her soul.

'So, I was right. I'm gonna need my System for this.'

Xyrus then snapped his finger and the same familiar object appeared behind him.

This is the System that he created based on the Heavenly System that Big G created. This is also what he used to bring Demiurge to life.

The first thing that Xyrus did was to eject himself from his body and directly connected the System to his soul.

After that, he touched the body of America and seperated her soul from her body without harming her.

"Whoa?! Where am I?" America was shocked and said confusingly.

"You're in the astral dimension. In here, we would seperate your power from your soul." Xyrus informed her before continuing.

"Now, I need you to cooperate with me. All you have to do is to not resist on what I'm about to do to you." Xyrus instructed her.

"I understand." America didn't bother to be cautious anymore, she already went this far, there's no point on turning back now.

"Good!" Xyrus was happy for her cooperation and formed some complex spells on her soul form before chanting gibberish.

Soon, America's soul became more transparent and inside her, there's a small blue star thing floating inside her, what's weird is the fact that there are strings tying her power to her soul.

"This should be my power?" America looked down on her soul body and saw the same thing, so she asked.

"You're correct. Now, we'll seperate this from your soul." Xyrus said before carefully untying the strings on the star glowing thing from her soul, of course, but not without coating his hand with a few safety measures.

"It's like you're pulling my organs out." America made a disgusted look as she said.

"Do you know how it feels like to pull your organs?" Xyrus was busy but still managed to fine the time to ask her.

"I don't know, but it just feels like it. Is it weird?" America asked.

"No. I've encountered more weirder than that." Xyrus shook his head and said.

"Hey. I wonder how old are you? To me, it seems like you're pretty cool to hang with, not like what I expected as a wise old man, meditating or something like that." America continued the conversation.

"You can say that I'm as old as the dinosaurs from the past. As for your second question, I used to be a wise old man, meditating all day just like you said, but as time went on and the modern era came in, I started changing. In short, It's human nature." Xyrus replied to her question.

America nodded in understanding before starting another question to keep the conversation going.

After 30 minutes of chatting, a glowing blue star thing was floating on the palm of his hand.

"That's it? Besides from feeling like you're pulling my intestines out, I just felt a few tickles." America said as she stared at the glowing thing on Xyrus's palm.
