Chapter 236: Scarlet Witch

To be honest, when Jack first saw that thing, he did have the impulse to destroy this timeline.

But it was just a quick thought, and he was not that angry.

He just didn't understand what the so-called Creator was up to.

Was he trying on purpose to make him angry?

His mood was ruined, so he ignored Strange's quiet request for help.

He did not do anything out of respect for the Ancient One.

...

Sokovia is a hidden mountain area.

In a low apple orchard, a group of sheep slowly enjoyed their delicious lunch.

The soft wind rustled the branches, making the tiny white flowers fall to the ground. This gave the sheep another ingredient for their meal.

The sunlight was just right, and the tree's shadows on the ground made a pretty scene that was hard to ignore.

A woman wearing a brown-green coat was busy cutting branches and gently herding the sheep to another feeding area.

The scene was truly beautiful, at least in the eyes of most people.

"Cough, cough!"

After standing under the tree for a long time without being noticed, Jack had no choice but to speak up to get her attention.

Indeed, it worked. The woman turned around to look at him.

"Hi, Wanda. It's nice to meet you. I apologize for the entry, but there are some things I want to confirm, so..."

"Who are you?"

Wanda frowned, looking at Jack.

She slowly put down the scissors in her hand, and even the sheep under her feet seemed to sense something and slowly walked away.

"Jack Wayne, you can also call me Jack."

Jack smiled friendly, but Wanda didn't respond, staring silently at him.

However, Jack could sense the surge of magic inside her.

Obviously, Wanda had no plans to let him, an unwanted guest, get away with anything.

This is exactly why Jack came. There was something wrong with this Wanda.

According to the timeline, the current Wanda had just experienced the events in Westview.

He had helped another version of Wanda have a happy family, but this one seemed to have suffered greatly.

Although she had broken free from the illusion and defeated the witch Agatha, She had changed in a lot of ways because of the illusion.

Why?

That was what Jack wanted to find out.

He looked around and sighed with a complicated expression.

Pocket Universe is not something new, but it is amazing that the ability can make it look so real.

Wanda's face finally showed a slight change when hearing his words, but apart from the chaotic magic that appeared in her hand, there was nothing else.

"But it's still not enough."

Before Wanda could unleash her powers, Jack casually raised his right hand as if wiping away a stain in front of him.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and everything around was swallowed in a blood-red mist.

In less than ten seconds, the entire land changed.

The sheep disappeared, and the grassy ground was covered with rough stones.

The area got dead and rougher, and the white flower balls, which used to be covered in flowers, turned into trees with scary branches.

Even the sun in the sky looked like it had been thrown into a pool of blood, giving the whole world a blood-red glow.

Compared to the paradise we just now, there is no doubt that this place looks like hell.

And Wanda, who was standing in front of him, had also changed.

Dressed in a dark red coat, dark leather pants, and a crown on her head, she looked like a classic villain in this scene.

Jack sighed and looked at Wanda with mixed emotions.

She didn't have the ability to modify an entire world; she had merely created a pocket universe that appeared realistic.

Wanda, on the other hand, had become extremely strong.

She had become so powerful that she could even rival the Ancient One.

Her chaos magic was too strong, and her reality-altering abilities were incredible.

The fully awakened Scarlet Witch was way beyond the current Doctor Strange's abilities.

Jack remembered the first time he met Wanda.

She was just a girl who had recently awakened her chaos magic and swore to seek revenge on Stark.

So much has happened since then. Her brother had died, and Vision, her partner, had his head crushed by Thanos.

In her complete breakdown, she unleashed the full power of her chaos magic for the first time.

Without Jack's intervention, Wanda would have lost her children and her husband.

But she had also gained hope.

The Darkhold.

As Jack looked at the Darkhold floating in front of Wanda, he finally understood why she had become the way she was.

He also had the Darkhold, which he had gotten from Agatha. He had tried reading the book but couldn't understand it at all.

However, Jack could sense the overwhelming power that attracted the mind within those pages.

Even he, over time, would feel his mind grow cloudy.

So, for now, the book was gathering dust in a corner of his space.

It was clear that this version of Wanda had spent time with the Darkhold.

Whatever she had seen in the book made her believe that the powers of the Scarlet Witch could reunite her with her children.

That's why she created those two Octopus-like creatures to hunt down America.

"You should know your current state, Wanda."

Jack looked around and sighed.

"This isn't you, or at least, it shouldn't be you. The Wanda I know wouldn't do something like this."

Wanda didn't show any signs of what she was thinking.

Perhaps sensing that Jack had no ill intentions, she slowly let go of her guard and smiled with a hint of playfulness.

"Oh, so you're familiar with me, or with Wanda. That's nice."

Her words had a touch of self-ridicule, whether mocking her own fate or something entirely different.

"So, did Doctor Strange send you to deal with me?"

"Not exactly. Although I don't want to see you like this, I won't stop you."

Jack shook his head and pursed his lips.

"I can probably guess what you're trying to do, and I don't think you will listen to good advice right now. So, I won't waste my breath. As for whether you'll achieve your goal in the end, well, who knows?"

"By the way, Doctor Strange probably doesn't know you're the mastermind behind all this, so I expect he'll come to you for help."

"Of course he will."

Wanda didn't doubt it.

She didn't believe that Doctor Strange wouldn't recognize the two monsters she had created.

They gave off a strong magical aura, so unless he was a total fool, he would not think twice about asking her for help.

If he could bring America directly to her, that would be even better.

Suddenly, Jack sensed something and nodded.

"He's already here. I look forward to seeing your actions, Wanda."

With that, he left the space.

Wanda stood there and looked at where he had been standing.

She was lost in thought, and her face went from being sad to looking unsure.

She could feel the familiar power emanating from Jack. It couldn't be wrong—it was her power, the power of chaos magic.
