Chapter 228

Wanda turned her head suddenly, her face reflecting surprise. "Thor!"

Thor slowly emerged from behind the door, dusted himself off, and, looking at Agatha with a mischievous grin, said, "Yes, you guessed right. I'm not a witch, but I was raised by one!"

Agatha was so enraged that she laughed. "You fool, both of you are equally foolish. Your magic is useless here!"

"Swish..."

Several vines shot out and wrapped around Thor tightly.

At the same time, Agatha's hand made a grabbing motion in the air, and an invisible force pressed down on Thor.

"You are the fool!"

"Boom..."

Thor struggled, and the vines shattered into countless pieces in an instant.

Agatha was horrified to see that Thor was using sheer strength to resist her dark magic.

Agatha's dark magic was somewhat similar to Wanda's, and she could suppress her opponent through telekinesis. However, the difference compared to Wanda was stark. At best, it could only slightly slow down the opponent's movements rather than achieving complete control.

"With my physical strength alone, I'm not afraid of even the most notorious villain in the universe."

Thor shook his hands. "Besides..."

"Click…"

A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere, illuminating the entire basement, and struck Agatha.

Agatha barely had time to erect a shield, which was instantly broken, sending her flying.

"How is this possible?! My runes are not failing. How can you use magic!?"

"Nonsense. Who told you I was using magic?"

Thor said with a mocking look on his face, "Thunder is actually a physical phenomenon. People understood this more than 200 years ago. You ignorant person, you don't understand anything!"

In reality, this is a theory that's more complicated to explain. The lightning Thor produces is not simple magic.

In other words, while thunder can be seen as a magical attack, for Thor, producing thunder and lightning is a natural divine ability, different from other magicians.

Much like an electric eel...

Agatha: "Damn it..."

"Boom…"

The raging thunder swept in all directions, and the magic runes were violently destroyed one after another.

Wanda's body glowed, her eyes flashing red as a burst of red energy shot towards Agatha.

"Sorry, now I can use magic!"

"Not good!"

Agatha was horrified. She formed seals with her hands, a magic rune flashed, and she disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Thor said calmly, "You can't escape."

A golden glove appeared in his hand, and a blue gem gleamed.

At the same time, Agatha, having just fled from the house, found herself trapped within a radius of 100 meters, unable to escape despite her efforts.

An invisible barrier seemed to materialize around her, confining her.

Just as Thor was about to pursue, Wanda suddenly stopped him.

"Let me handle this. I need to settle things with her!"

The witch had her pride. As someone who had fought most of the Avengers solo, being nearly tricked and humiliated by an old hag was deeply embarrassing.

"You ignorant mortal, you simply don't understand the kind of entity you are provoking!"

As soon as Kaecilius finished speaking, a golden magic rune appeared in his hand, and the whole room began to crack from the ground. In an instant, the sky and earth spun, and space was distorted.

The hard floor lifted and surged toward them rapidly.

"Perhaps, I have understood the significance of becoming a sorcerer in this realm."

Behind him, Strange's expression grew serious. He formed seals with his hands, and a golden magic rune also appeared.

He struck the ground forcefully, and the lifted floor was immediately leveled out, restoring space to normal.

"Oh? I didn't expect a Kamar-Taj wizard here?"

Kaecilius said with interest, "It seems you are the one the Master mentioned!"

A follower said, "Go ahead, kill him, and our mission will be accomplished!"

Kaecilius grinned wickedly and swung the magic whip in his hand like lightning, but instead of aiming at Strange, he directed it at the follower, wrapping it tightly around his neck.

"Uh...ah, spare me..."

"Click…"

He yanked the whip, and a bloody head rolled to the ground.

"I told you, I don't need you to teach me how to handle things!"

Kaecilius remained calm, as if he had killed a chicken or duck, and turned to Strange. "Originally, you would die here today. But now, I've changed my mind. I can offer you a chance to become my—Dormammu, the ruler of the Dark Dimension..."

"The servant of..."

"Servant!"

"Hey, interrupt!"

Stark couldn't help but speak up. "These days, why are there always people who take pride in being servants to others? And not just any servants, but servants to servants, as if it's so glorious..."

"Shut up! You don't understand the Master's greatness!"

Kaecilius shouted angrily and lashed out at him with the whip.

This tin man is so annoying; let's deal with him first!

"That's right, if you can act, then stop talking!"

A line of small missiles flew toward the fallen ones...

A great battle had begun.

---

Thor sat leisurely in the yard, watching the battle between the witches in the sky.

Strictly speaking, there should be two mages in that fight.

It was only at this moment that Thor felt there were still genuine wizards in this world.

The wizards in the Marvel universe seem like they're Gandalf's peers. Some wield magic weapons in combat, some use small daggers, others fight with long swords, and some wear armor and wield axes...

People like Wanda are probably among the few true mages.

Ebony Maw? Ugly people have no human rights!

"Huh? Is there a fight over there too?"

Thor suddenly had an idea and used his divine power to explore. He saw a group of people with dark circles under their eyes. They were battling against the Shield and Iron duo, plus a magic doctor, Daisy with her verbal abuse tactics, and Lorelai who was AFK.

"The situation seems even? Then I'll add fuel to the fire!"

With a wave of his hand, an umbrella flew toward the battlefield...
