Chapter 168 Two Wandas, the power to alter reality!
Chapter 168 Two Wandas, the power to alter reality!
Hurry, hurry!
I treated you like my best friend, and you actually lusted after my body!
While Black Widow may be a bit of a womanizer in some universes, I've never heard of her being a lesbian in any universe!
She still prefers tall, strong men who make her feel safe.
In the comics, these include Captain America, Winter Soldier, Captain Soviet Union, Hawkeye, Daredevil, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Doctor Doom, and many more...
In the movie, it's Dr. Banner (Hulk).
But in this universe...
"Go, believe in yourself, they will accept you, even if you are not from the same universe, you are still bound by blood."
Toby said this to the witch.
(Because there are now two Wandas in this universe, in the narration, the Wanda from the other universe is referred to as "the Witch," while the Wanda from this universe is referred to as "Wanda.")
"Hmm!" Encouraged by Toby, the witch nodded emphatically and slowly floated down from the roof to the door of an old room.
This is the residence of the Maksimov siblings in Sokovia.
A tiny, cramped room of less than 30 square meters, with one bedroom, one living room, and one toilet, located in a slum.
After all, they lost both their parents when they were young, and their house was blown up by Stark missiles. You can't expect them to have a good life, can you?
Even this tiny little house was rented by the two siblings, not truly theirs.
But after joining the Avengers in another universe, with the help of Tony, the wealthy and powerful woman, the Scarlet Witch, who had been out of poverty for a long time, showed no disgust when she saw this old door; her eyes were filled with excitement and nostalgia.
This was once the place where she and her brother lived their last carefree life.
Since leaving this place, tragedy seemed to have been a curse clinging to her. First, her only family member, her brother, died; then, the lover she had once again placed her hopes in also died. Like Saul, she seemed to have nothing left...
But now, she has a chance to start over!
The witch took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door.
Thump, thump-thump————
As soon as the witch knocked on the door, there was a commotion inside the room.
First, a pleasant female voice rang out from the room: "Pietro, it sounds like someone is knocking on the door. Go check it out, I'm chopping vegetables."
Immediately afterwards, a young male voice rang out: "Oh, you really know how to pick your timing! I'm taking a dump right now, wiping my butt, right away!"
Clearly, this room was not only small, but also had terrible soundproofing.
Half a minute later, footsteps approached from inside the house, and finally, the door was opened amidst the witch's tense expression.
Pietro opened the door, and he was taken aback when he saw the witch standing in the doorway and Toby behind her: "Wanda? Weren't you cooking in the kitchen?"
"And who is this gentleman?"
As soon as Pietro finished asking his question, Wanda suddenly hugged him tightly, choking back tears, and said, "Brother, finally, I see you again..."
Although Pietro was a little dazed, feeling Wanda's trembling body in his arms, he immediately put those feelings aside, gently patted her back, and smiled:
"I don't know why you're suddenly so excited, but just for calling me 'brother,' whatever you want, I'll get it for you!"
Because he and Wanda were born only a dozen minutes apart, Wanda rarely called him "brother" and usually addressed him by his first name.
Upon hearing this, the witch released Pietro, grabbed his hands, a strange red light flashing in her eyes, and resolutely said:
"No, from now on you will never need to take any risks for me or for anyone else. From now on, I will protect you and all of you!"
Pietro's expression immediately turned serious as he looked at the red light in the witch's eyes.
Seeing his expression, the witch realized that at this point in time, she and her brother had not yet been taken away by Hydra and had not yet awakened their abilities under the influence of the Mind Stone, so they did not have superpowers!
A sense of unease suddenly arose in her heart, fearing that she would be disliked by her brother because of this.
As her emotions fluctuated, Toby, standing behind the witch, felt his spider-sense activate again.
He had a vague feeling that something around Wanda was being changed...
And it was a feeling that was both familiar and strange to him, as if he had just experienced this feeling not long ago, it was...
Toby's eyes lit up as he remembered. Overturning reality, changing reality—that's... the power of the Reality Stone!
No, that's not right, it should be called the power of chaos!
However, the Reality Stone and the Chaos Stone are very similar; both are super-powerful entities that can modify reality!
Even the power of chaos is a bit more overpowered.
The Reality Stone requires all six stones to be collected to unleash its full power, while a single Chaos Stone, if properly developed, is even more powerful than all six stones combined!
Wanda, in the present moment, is unconsciously radiating the power of chaos to alter reality.
Just like that time in Xijing Town in the Sacred Timeline...
However, before the Scarlet Witch arrived in this universe, Tony from another universe hadn't died. So, with Tony's help, she had already buried Vision's "corpse" and said goodbye to the past. Therefore, her power to change reality this time wasn't as strong as the Scarlet Witch's in the Divine Timeline.
They've shown some promise, but haven't quite reached the point of explosive growth.
Even a tiny bit can be a deadly threat to an ordinary person.
Toby looked at the hairs standing on end on his arms and couldn't help but click his tongue.
All I can say is that the power of chaos is still far too much...
Furthermore, this isn't a power inherent in one's bloodline, and the symbiote cannot replicate it...
Toby crossed his arms and did not choose to interrupt Wanda's unconscious power to alter reality; he simply watched quietly.
His spider-sense only detected Wanda's abilities; there was no danger warning, which meant he would be fine.
Sure enough, after staring at Wanda's faintly glowing red eyes for a moment, Pietro showed no fear, but instead said in a deep voice:
"Wanda, when did you learn to wear colored contact lenses? Wearing those too much is bad for your eyes, you're not allowed to wear them anymore!"
"Why?"
The witches were somewhat taken aback by their brother's train of thought.
Does he really think his eyes are glowing because he's wearing colored contact lenses?
However, just as the witch secretly breathed a sigh of relief at having gotten away with it, unexpected events kept happening...
She clearly forgot that her other self was still inside the house...
"Pietro, why is it taking so long? Who is it...? Ah!!!"
Snap ————————
With screams and the sound of plates hitting the ground, everyone looked into the room.
Amid Pietro's terror, the witch's panic, and Toby's indifferent gaze, another, younger Wanda appeared before everyone.
Pietro, in particular, took a few steps back in alarm, moving away from the witch, but at the same time dared not approach Wanda inside the house. He stood between the two identical people, his eyes scanning back and forth.
"How can there be two Wandas?! Which one of you is the real Wanda?!"
If Toby hadn't intervened, the scene would likely have devolved into a ridiculous contest of identifying imposters.
But Toby was too lazy to wait for the three of them to go through the whole process of questioning, arguing, explaining, recognizing each other, and finally becoming a family again, so he chose to step forward.
