Chapter 195: Ancient One's Invitation
Seeing the hesitation in Wanda's eyes, Thor sighed.
Among the Avengers, Scarlet Witch is perhaps the kindest, right?
Similarly, she is also the one with the worst fate, likely second only to Thor...
It's a pity Wanda's TV series wasn't released before Thor traveled; otherwise, he would have learned about Wanda's challenging superhero journey.
The Avengers' alliance has two major traits: Thor's "absent father mode" and Wanda's "tragic relative mode."
Thor would only confront Wanda if absolutely necessary. Unlike Thanos, who can multitask while being physically immobile, Thor isn't in that position.
Confused, Mjölnir and Stormbreaker quickly flew back into his hands.
Dual-wielding in hand, invincible in the world!
"for asgard!"
Long ago, the system informed Thor that there is no absolute second-in-command in this world.
The so-called invincibility merely means that no one can breach one's defense.
As for magical immunity, it simply means that there haven't been sufficient entities to test one's defenses...
Just like the god known as the "60-second man," he has magical immunity, which can make even the Ancient One suffer.
However, now, facing Wanda with a higher energy level, Thor feels his defenses might be breached.
Although the powerful control effect of Chaos energy was removed, he could still feel the red energy wrapping around him, slowing him down considerably...
If Wanda's strength increases further, even gods might struggle against her.
In any case, Thor is currently resilient against Wanda's magic.
The Chaos energy affecting him now has only a third of its original effect left, which is nearly insignificant for the current Thor. With a wave of his hand, Thor dispelled a large amount of Chaos energy and walked slowly.
"I'm not your enemy; I'm here to help you. Let's talk things over!"
Wanda showed a trace of solemnity. She hesitated for a moment and then suddenly waved her hand.
"Clatter..."
A large pit suddenly appeared beneath Thor's feet, and a massive amount of debris fell from above...
"Damn it!!!"
Thor was caught off guard. The debris falling from the sky struck him into the pit with a "snap"...
Thor jumped out of the pit, disgraced, but Wanda had disappeared, clearly unwilling to face Thor and taking the opportunity to escape.
Thor activated the probing technique, which he hadn't used in a while, to check Wanda's attributes.
"Name: Wanda Maximoff."
"Strength evaluation: variable, fluctuating with emotional stability; the lower limit is zero, the upper limit is unknown..."
"Race: unknown, suspected human."
Compared to other characters, Wanda had an unusual extra classification—"unknown, suspected human"—which was worth noting.
Is Wanda not human? That seems unlikely.
Is the system unable to make a clear judgment due to some interference? Or are the results from the system dynamic, leading to an uncertain conclusion...
Miss System hesitated to speak.
Thor: "What's the matter? Speak up."
"The racial ambiguity, if Scarlet Witch has one, probably refers to... Mutant?"
"But there are no Mutants in this world."
"Chaos abilities can alter certain realities, and just because others cannot exist does not mean she cannot. Also, consider how the apocalypse disappeared."
With that, Thor suddenly realized.
Aside from the ancient texts of Kamar-Taj, he had never found relevant information in any other materials, as if such a false deity had never existed in this world five thousand years ago, and such a rebellion had not occurred...
Thor had once thought that later generations had deliberately omitted it.
But now, he understood that this history was not simply unrecorded. Rather, it had been completely erased, detectable only by Thor or the Sorcerer Supreme.
Just like Quicksilver...
This world does not permit the existence of Mutants.
Wanda is stronger than in the original timeline, and Quicksilver likely is too.
A stronger power suggests the presence of a gene that should not exist, which then...
was erased.
By the way, Wanda's participation in the HYDRA experiment was mainly to gain power for revenge. She was just a pawn in a larger scheme, and the real target was Stark. Perhaps he should be reminded?
While contemplating this, a golden halo suddenly appeared before Thor, accompanied by the voice of the Ancient One.
"There are important matters to discuss. Please come when you have time."
