Chapter 19 Possession

There was a beautiful young woman with long hair draped over her shoulders, extremely exquisite features, with a hint of madness hidden under her calm, wearing a red dress. On her head was a red headpiece with two sharp horns.

Scarlet Witch!

Pietro instantly recognized the woman's identity. Scarlet Witch's betrayal of the Avengers and her becoming a mole had shocked half of America. Pietro couldn't even dream that he would see her here.

Similarly, Pietro also didn't understand why the black commander would call Scarlet Witch - "President X".

Scarlet Witch glanced lightly at the subordinate she had nearly crippled with one strike. She gently lifted her left hand, and instantly, a crimson aura enveloped the black man's body, like an invisible big hand, grabbing his body and pulling him back from outside the factory.

"You're saying there are traitors in my army?" Scarlet Witch's voice was very pleasant, like a nightingale singing. Anyone who heard this voice would involuntarily smile slightly, but her tone was extremely cold, giving a strong sense of tearing.

"I... I... don't know, sir..." The black man opened his mouth trembling, obviously, he was suffering from great pain.

"You are my handpicked talents." The Scarlet Witch spoke. "Each and every one of you were the ones I had my eye on. I'm proud of you Lowly Humans. I mean, I only gave you this one task, and that was to keep me safe until I had complete control of this body!"

"But what have you all done? I can't believe I let the remnants of those Avengers find their way here, I really should execute all of you."

As Scarlet Witch spoke, she suddenly clenched her fist. The next moment, the black man's body was instantly compressed into a ball by the red energy. He couldn't even scream before directly becoming an unrecognizable state.

Looking at the black officer's fate, the soldiers around silently lowered their heads, none daring to make a sound, for fear of attracting President X's attention and becoming his next "toy".

Scarlet Witch looked at her masterpiece, and for the first time, there was some happy emotion in her eyes. "Look at this power, how wonderful, how amazing. It will be the key to my domination of this planet. I can't even fully control it"

Just then, Scarlet Witch suddenly frowned lightly, as if sensing something, then she raised her hand, and a wave of scarlet energy jumped around her fingertips. Soon, as if she was sure of something, she turned her head sharply.

Her gaze was directed exactly where Pietro was hiding. After being glanced at by Scarlet Witch, Pietro's soul nearly left his body in fright.

He immediately reacted, although he didn't know how he was exposed, Pietro knew that if he didn't leave again, he was waiting to die, so he tapped his feet, and ran a hundred meters in a split second, a speed that even the Scarlet Witch didn't keep up with.

Just as he was running out through the big hole blasted by Scarlet Witch,

Suddenly, Pietro's right leg felt like it had been violently broken by someone. It made a crisp sound that only he could hear, and in the next moment, he lost his balance and fell directly onto the ground, and rolled directly out with inertia, only stopping when he hit a mound of earth formed by industrial waste.

"Hiss...!" Pietro held his leg tightly, gritting his teeth hard to keep himself from crying out, but the pain kept assaulting his mind, bringing tears to his eyes.

Scarlet Witch looked towards Pietro's position and tilted her head slightly.

"Interesting... I remember you. You are also an inmate in the mutant prison, your helmet is very interesting. It can even block my telepathy, no wonder I didn't realize your existence. It reminds me of an old friend, but he should have died a long time ago."

But Pietro on the opposite side had no time to reply to the Scarlet Witch's words at this moment, he was using all his strength to suppress the pain coming from his leg.

One must know that his leg was forcibly broken by the power of Chaos. Such agony would probably directly kill others.

"So you're the remaining member of the Avengers? But it doesn't matter. With this power, there's no one who can stop me anymore. Likewise, I'd like to thank you for the gift. I'll take this helmet."

As Scarlet Witch spoke, she raised her hand again. Scarlet(Chaos) Energy wrapped around the top of Pietro's head. Obviously, she didn't want to remove the helmet as simple as that, she wanted to take off Pietro's head along with it.

At this moment, a beam of laser suddenly blasted over, shooting towards Scarlet Witch's direction at high speed.

Scarlet Witch's raised hand did not make any unnecessary movements, and with a slight wave of her wrist, the particle beam immediately made a turn in mid-air and blasted into the night sky.

Immediately afterward, Just as Scarlet Witch was about to unleash her powerful telepathy to find and control the sneak attacker, a cloud of blue smoke suddenly exploded in front of her. Then, a sharp claw pierced through the smoke from the blue mist, aiming straight for Scarlet Witch's throat.

Without much thought, Scarlet Energy surged out crazily, and that attacker was immediately blasted out, but before she could catch her breath, she saw a blue monster swinging an immense and incomparable stone pillar towards her.

Scarlet Witch only managed to raise her hands before, she was directly sent flying out, crashing into the top of the white container with an explosion.

It was the escaped mutant prisoners who had killed their way here.

The soldiers on site immediately fought with them, but how could ordinary people fight against these monsters, not to mention their strength didn't decrease after losing their humanity, instead it increased.

And it was only at this moment that Austin let out a heavy breath.

To be honest, just now, he fired the palm cannon at the Scarlet Witch was completely a gamble. Austin did see those mutants charging all the way over, but what Austin was worried about was that before some mutants rushed over, he had already been invaded by President X's abilities.

Yes, Austin already knew that the Scarlet Witch in front of him was actually President X, or rather, this Scarlet Witch had already been 'possessed' by President X President X through telepathic abilities.

And the key to leaving this universe was Pietro. Without Pietro, Austin had no way to find President X's secret room.

Likewise, fearing that Austin would deceive him, Pietro had never told Austin the location of that secret room.

So there was absolutely no way that Austin could watch Pietro die here.

The result wasn't bad. Austin had gambled right. President X's abilities were not as unsolvable as he had imagined. This gave him a great advantage.
