Chapter 148 : Reward!

Kamar-Taj.

Even though I understand that this is only a glimpse into the future, there's a high likelihood that the present course of events may alter.

Yet, Strange couldn't resist asking:

"Is she deceased, Sorcerer Supreme?"

Solely from the conclusion, it remains uncertain if the Scarlet Witch has met her end!

Considering the unimaginable extent of her abilities, nothing can be ruled out!

In response to the inquiry, Ancient One shook her head:

"I cannot ascertain; perhaps the consciousness persists."

The Ancient One's implication was clear to Strange — Wanda's physical form had undoubtedly perished.

Across the X-Men universe, a myriad of mutants began to tremble at this juncture, unaffected by the ultimate outcome.

Anyone cognizant that their existence could be erased at will couldn't find solace!

The Damocles sword could descend at any given moment!

[The screen dims, only to illuminate once more.]

[In a rented room, a brawny man with a rugged beard jolted awake!]

[The next instant, he surveyed his surroundings with immense bewilderment!

[Where is this!?]

[Logan's eyes mirrored confusion; wasn't he in Norway? How did he end up in this peculiar place!"

[A premonition of unease enveloped him, prompting Logan to swiftly retrieve his mobile phone and dial the Beast's number!

(To his surprise, a stranger answered the call!)

[Under the weight of profound disquiet, Logan hastily donned his attire and rushed outside!]

[Upon exiting, he found himself in a five-star hotel. Entering the elevator, he caught sight of a peculiar news broadcast on the screen.]

(CAC reports for you. Nine days from now, the world will mark the second anniversary of Tony Stark's demise, the global savior, Iron Man, with mourners converging on New York.)

[Iron Man??]

[Savior of the world?)

[Two years ago?)

(What is this all about?!)

[Logan stepped out of the hotel, laden with questions, and spotted the Statue of Liberty a kilometer away!]

[Back to New York?!]

[Logan's eyes widened in astonishment, and he promptly hailed a passing cab.]

["Head to Xavier Academy for Gifted Boys..)

[Wow!!)

[The taxi halted, and the incredulous black driver stared at Logan:]

["Dude, if you need a ride, I've been driving cabs for ten years, but I never knew this place existed in New York!")]

In the end, Rogan struggled to recall the address of X Academy and directed the driver there. However, upon exiting the car, he was left dumbfounded. Instead of a school, an identical private castle stood before him.

"What about the professor and the students? What happened!?" Logan muttered anxiously, his heart pounding with disturbance.

"Your professor is now a Ph.D. in psychology at NYU, and the students are safe at home, T," Edman, with alloy sharp claws, said coldly. 

Logan turned around like a beast at the mention of the White Queen.

"The White Queen!" Ten minutes later, Logan was shocked. "You mean the two worlds have merged? 99.99 percent of the mutants are incapacitated, and their past has changed?"

"So Charles is just a regular college professor now?!" Emma, the White Queen, nodded with horror in her eyes. "The most important thing is that the powers that mutants are deprived of do not disappear out of thin air; we don't know what will become of them."

In the next second, the camera changed, revealing a phoenix larger than the Earth soaring in the universe. Offscreen, Professor X's scalp tingled. Back then, Jean's body was just a phoenix fragment, nearly causing irreversible disaster.

"And how terrifying the almost complete power of the phoenix must be! Even as one of the five god-tier being, I'm extremely surprised!" Logan exclaimed. This power was no longer weaker than himself and surpassed him in destructive capabilities.

"At the same time, it possesses the terrifying power that is completely contrary to life and destruction." Red flames appeared in the eyes of the dead skeleton, looking extremely intense. "Maybe I should let Thanos change his target."

Just when viewers thought it was about to end, the screen lit up again. In an ancient castle, Agatha, who was sleeping, woke up suddenly. Chthon's strangely smiling face flashed across her face, and the screen went completely dark.

In the castle, Agatha showed a terrified face. The Scarlet Witch died, and Chthon had possessed himself in her body by some unknown method. She looked at Wanda's corpse under her feet and began to tremble. The plan couldn't proceed as intended.

"She originally wanted to fake death to deceive Wanda, but the current video has poured her heart through like a basin of cold water!" However, black smoke rose in Agatha's eyes the next second, sealing the memory of the last picture.

[At this moment, a layered sound echoed, "Reward distribution, triggering the resurrection of basic rewards! Reward Scarlet Witch complete body template, usable 9 times, 30 minutes each time!"]

The golden light burst forth, and a purple mist enveloped Agatha's form, dissipating her entire being!

Wanda sneered, opening her eyes and rising to her feet, scanning the surroundings cautiously.

Indeed!

The door swung open by itself, and Agatha strolled in!

Although the subsequent events were lost to me due to my demise, it didn't hinder Wanda's utilization of the Scarlet Witch template!

"You fool, take a look around!" Agatha chuckled.

Wanda surveyed the area, witnessing an abundance of Runes.

But in the next moment, a sly grin played on her lips:

"You're the fool!"

Terrifying scarlet energy erupted from Wanda, shaking the very fabric of space, obliterating the Rooney Runes on the surrounding walls instantly!

The so-called forbidden area was nothing but frail!

Agatha, terror-stricken, attempted to flee!

However, a rune formation materialized beneath her feet, and chains sprouted, piercing her body!

A burst of purple smoke, and the Agatha in front was nothing more than an illusion!

Wanda wasn't surprised; Agatha wouldn't have survived this long without her cautious nature!

But...

"You can't escape!"

Wanda whirled around, transforming into crimson mist and dispersing!

The next moment, scarlet energy whirled in front of Agatha, who was attempting to soar out of Berlin, and Wanda materialized.

"My dear teacher, where do you think you're going?"

Scarlet-eyed Wanda gazed at the panicked Agatha with a piercing smile!

Her words echoed, and chaotic magic enveloped Agatha entirely.

Suddenly, a scream echoed in Berlin, startling countless owls beneath the pale moonlight!

In an underground castle, a dark coffin sat in the center of a pentagram circle!

In the next moment, a chilling sound resonated as the coffin lid slowly lifted.

From it, a mummy sat up.

Purple magic emerged from the circle, transforming the mummified corpse into a young blond woman, as though reversing time.

The woman, extraordinarily beautiful, wore a strange and terrifying smile.

She caressed her delicate yet shatterable face, muttering to herself:

"As a witch for hundreds of years, how could I lack a successor?"

"Now, onto the second step of the plan."

The next moment, the purple magic on her body transformed into pure white light!

In the dry forest, right when Wanda decimated the Magic Castle, a magic circle materialized, radiating a white holy light, forming a door with angel wings.

The next moment, a blond woman stepped through.

Upon her appearance, she exclaimed in surprise:

"Are you the Wanda Maximoff from the video?"

Wanda nodded, examining the woman before her.

Unafraid, she still had over twenty minutes of Scarlet Witch power left.

The blonde woman then spoke with a smile:

"I saw through the video that you defeated Agatha, but I refrained from intervening."

"Do you hold a grudge?" Wanda inquired curiously.

The woman nodded, "All white witches bear a grudge against her; you'll understand in due time."

She pointed, and white magic formed a card, flying towards Wanda.

"This is my contact information. You seem kind from the video. If you ever need assistance, feel free to reach out."

With a smile, the woman exited through the portal.

Kamar-Taj.

Ancient One stood up, recognizing the need to keep Wanda in check, for the safety of the entire world.

However, it couldn't be too extreme; otherwise, tragedy would ensue!

"Sorcerer Supreme, let me accompany you," Strange offered.

Ancient One shook her head, "You still lack over three hundred years of experience."

Strange was bewildered!

Over 300 yeras?

Wasn't it just one time?

And nearly completed!

Suddenly, Strange realized something and shouted angrily at Ancient One:

"You old bald woman! You actually used the Time Gem! How many times have I cycled through the secret realm!?"

To this, Ancient One responded indifferently:

"Add 300 times."

The next moment, a regret-filled Strange saw the portal illuminate beneath his feet, and he fell directly into it.
