What if?

[THIRD POV]

***

This battle wasn't meant to be one-sided as it was in the movie which truly needed a spark of hot-bloodedness and struggle on both sides.

It would seem bland if the Scarlet Witch stomps everyone without breaking a sweat.

That was Noah's honest opinion.

The future was meant to be unpredictable and dynamic, ever-changing with every little disturbance in the present timeline.

Nothing is set in stone and that is how it should be.

Noah had the power to see through both the possible and impossible futures, nothing could escape his Omniscient visage.

But where would the fun be, if he knew everything and every little detail up to its last quantum mechanization?

Noah wanted to see the present as it was and any anomalous events that may occur.

He wouldn't be concerned even if a few lesser beings are erased in the process.

His demeanor was slowly changing to that of a supreme being, standing above all fiction, reality, and existence.

But this didn't mean that Noah was going to abandon his humanity even though he was no longer human.

He was solely seeking entertainment and playthings, just like any other bored Omniversal being would do.

Above the ancient pagoda roofing, Noah sat on a newly created disposable chair whose concept was from the DC Universe, something that shouldn't exist in his present reality.

The chair was far from simple due to its futuristic design made from sophisticated alien technology.

It was the Mobius chair - a cosmic device of the New Gods made from the Tenth metal, a pure source of creation of the Multiverse.

It didn't need a genius to know that this chair was a very powerful weapon with capabilities scaling to nigh-omniscience.

But what was it being used as at the moment?

Just a mere massage chair!

That was who Noah was, crazy and unrestrained when it comes to the power of imagination!

Imagination was something that he didn't lack!

BOOM!

Scarlet Witch sent a chaotic blast of hex energy against the huge yellow defensive magical formation being currently sustained by the magic of almost a hundred mystic arts masters.

Her attempts failed with each scarlet blast sent toward the group of sorcerers.

Kamar-Taj was now like an immovable fortress.

But this didn't deter her determination...

America Chavez would sooner or later fall into her hands.

Her fate was already sealed.

Seeing that it was quite difficult to break through the defensive formation of Kamar-Taj, Wanda decided to use another tactic.

Mental manipulation.

She had the power over the mind - something that was amplified by the Mind Stone.

She immediately stopped her actions and let her scarlet eyes scan the people below.

She was looking for a weak-minded person whose mental defenses were easily breakable.

She didn't want to waste any time doing some sort of trial and error.

She needed to act very fast and catch the masters of mystic arts by surprise.

'Gotcha!' Wanda smirked inwardly when she found her target.

But it seems the future that should have happened didn't follow its fixed temporal event...

Wanda's telepathic persuasion made her weak-willed target have thoughts of absconding and with just a little bit of push and the mystical formation was destabilized from the inside and finally, rendered useless.

Wanda channeled her hex magic into her hands before sending it to the crowd below.

KABOOM!

Her power was catastrophic as those fodders unlucky enough to be caught up in the attack were erased from the face of reality.

She also destroyed several ancient buildings such that only unsightly rubbles were left.

Her Chthonian magic was capable of bypassing the so-called enchanted magical boundaries.

The number of people was now seemingly halved compared to the original hundred.

The Sorcerer Supreme, Wong looked at the horrific devastation made by the Scarlet Witch and he couldn't help but gulp the fear down his throat.

How could he fight against such a monster?!

This fight was something that only Strange could handle well.

"Hey, use whatever means to fight her. The Sorcerer Supreme has permitted you immediately!"

Stephen Strange nodded at Wong with a serious expression while Wong tried to usher the survivors into the ultra-fortified building where America was being hidden.

"Wanda, this is where your journey ends. I will not allow you to proceed any further than this!"

Stephen Strange levitated to Wanda's level, his fingers ready to unleash myriad spells upon her at any given moment.

"You are so funny, Stephen Strange. How many lives do you want to see lost, for you to give me what I want?"

"I don't give a shit, say whatever you want. I will not allow you to murder Chavez and offset the balance of the multiverse!"

"That's pure bull and since I am deemed the villain here, I will do what villains do best, Strange..."

Wanda's lips curved into an evil smile directed at Strange.

"TO BREAK THAT WARPED SENSE OF HEROISM IN YOU!"

She shot a concentrated beam of scarlet energy straight at Dr.Strange without hesitation.

She was ruthless and decisive.

Strange activated his slings and a golden magical shield was conjured in front of him to parry off that mass of destructive energy.

He easily defended against it but when Wanda increased the intensity of her power output, Strange couldn't handle it and was blitzed like a ragdoll while destroying a couple of buildings on the way.

As a Sorcerer, his endurance and stamina were beyond human comprehension and his body was more durable than any normal human.

Magic was versatile and his accelerated healing came from It.

Currently, his situation wasn't good since Wanda's chaos magic was on a different scale and it could ignore most of his durability.

If he didn't come up with a solution to counter her lethal barrage of attacks, then he would probably be sent to knock on the doors of Death.

Did he want to die? Probably not.

He wanted to survive against the demonic witch named Wanda.

Then he had to use "that".

Noah who was seated on the Mobius Chair, spectating all of these suddenly chuckled to himself but no one was capable of hearing him.

"What if...?" He mused outwardly before stopping himself from continuing whatever he wanted to say.

His eyes which seemed to encompass endless destruction twinkled with excitement.

"Truly Interesting. Wanda Maximoff and Stephen Strange... please don't disappoint me and continue surprising me more!"

What were their next moves?!
