Chaos Magic was an extremely powerful form of magic.
Or, to put it another way, Chaos Magic could no longer be described with the word "magic" alone.
It was something higher-level, something closer to the essence of reality than even its source.
To a certain extent, it was a kind of rule that belonged to the world itself.
At the beginning, Chaos Magic behaved more like ordinary magic.
In the hands of Scarlet Witch, who had never received systematic training, Chaos Magic had behaved even more like telekinesis.
But after studying at Kamar-Taj for so long, Chaos Magic had finally begun to reveal its true nature.
Especially after Wanda broke through to the Skyfather level.
The way Chaos Magic expressed its rules had become even more powerful.
Its external manifestation was reality modification.
For example, right now.
Right in front of Karl.
Scarlet Witch used her power to alter reality.
She directly caused a spell to dissipate naturally.
Karl could sense it.
She had not withdrawn the power maintaining the spell.
But that magical shield had simply disappeared, as if it had been erased from the world itself.
"Sorcerer Supreme, is this normal?"
Wanda asked uneasily.
Had this been the Wanda of the past, she absolutely would not have felt this kind of unease.
The more ignorant a person was, the more inexplicable courage they tended to have.
This was especially true in the magical world.
The more ignorant someone was, the more likely they were to do things even Master Sorcerers would not dare attempt.
After studying at Kamar-Taj for so long, Wanda had gained an understanding of the magical world.
There were countless examples of demons and Dark Gods tempting sorcerers.
The first lesson taught at Kamar-Taj was to remain wary of unknown powers.
To Wanda, this ability was an unknown power.
Naturally, fear rose in her heart.
In the end, she was only a young woman in her early twenties. If she had been an ordinary person, she might not even have graduated from college yet.
Karl saw Wanda's unease, so he spoke to comfort her.
"Don't worry. This is a talent within your body."
"There is a powerful force hidden inside you. You only need to accept it step by step and master it."
"Relax. This is your power."
Karl smiled.
If Chthon had still had a chance to seize Chaos Magic through sheer strength before, then now Chthon was powerless.
For at least the next tens of thousands of years, Chthon probably would not dare appear in the Multiverse at all. There was no need to worry.
"All right."
"Rather than worrying about this, you should focus on properly improving your strength."
"As long as you are strong enough, you naturally won't need to worry about these things."
"Demonstrate it for me again. I'll study it more carefully."
Karl spoke in an extremely gentle tone.
Wanda nodded.
With a wave of her small hand, a golden magical shield appeared before her.
Then scarlet energy flashed.
The magical shield naturally disappeared.
In Karl's eyes, time slowed down ten thousand times.
This allowed Karl to carefully observe Wanda's power.
This time, he finally saw it a little more clearly.
He finally saw the details within it.
That magical shield had been erased by the rules between heaven and earth.
What were rules?
Rules were the foundation stones of the world.
If this world had been built from blocks, then rules were the blocks that made up the world.
Laws were derived from rules, and mixed into them was the will of intelligent life.
In other words, if laws were the condensation of intelligent life's will, then rules were the condensation of the world's will.
The instant Wanda used Chaos Magic, the rules of the entire world changed and began to move.
If Karl had to describe it in one phrase, it would be this: her words became law.
The entire world changed according to her will.
And this was only an insignificant portion of the Chaos Magic inside Wanda's body.
If she could use all of its power, Wanda could permanently alter the entire Multiverse in a single instant.
This was definitely an extremely terrifying power.
As expected of one of the most powerful forces in this world.
[Detected that the host has carefully observed Chaos Magic and developed a deeper understanding of Chaos Magic. God-Tier Talent has triggered a hundredfold critical strike.]
[Your Chaos Magic has evolved. You can now alter the rules of the world to a certain extent.]
The system notification sounded.
Mysterious insights surfaced in Karl's mind.
At that moment, he had the illusion that he had become the master of this universe.
But this was completely different from his own universe.
Karl found this feeling extremely wondrous.
It was as though he only needed a single thought to change this world.
The words he spoke could change reality.
For example, if he now said that fire was cold and ice was hot, reality would change accordingly.
He could even directly change the physical constants of this world.
Everything that had been measured before would become completely different.
This ability was truly terrifying.
No wonder Scarlet Witch, at her peak, could use a single sentence to make the mutants across the entire Multiverse lose their abilities.
This was the power of Chaos Magic.
Reality alteration. Words becoming law.
His previous Chaos Magic had simply been child's play.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Karl looked at Wanda beside him.
This girl really was his lucky star.
It had not been in vain that he had brought Wanda back.
From now on, he had to keep a close eye on this treasure.
If he could comprehend the complete power of Chaos Magic, he would be able to move through the Marvel world without fear. If someone displeased him, he would not have to tolerate them at all.
Seeing Wanda's large eyes staring at him the entire time, Karl coughed, composed himself, and spoke.
"I already understand what your ability is."
"Your talent is reality modification."
"Through deep resonance with this world, you can change the world itself."
Karl explained the power of Chaos Magic to Wanda in simple, clear terms, going from the shallow to the profound.
Although this was Wanda's talent, being able to use it and being able to understand it were two different things.
It was like some people being born with beautiful singing voices.
But if you asked them to teach someone else how to sing, that would not necessarily work.
They knew how to use it, but that did not mean they understood it.
Karl was turning her talent into magical theory and explaining it to Wanda.
Wanda listened in fascination, absorbing everything as fast as she could, even if she could not digest it all immediately.
From time to time, she nodded.
It could practically be described as sudden enlightenment.
"Sorcerer Supreme, you really are incredible."
"There were many things I didn't understand, but once you explained them, I understood."
"I wonder when I'll ever be able to reach your level."
Wanda spoke with great admiration.
"There's no rush. Continue cultivating slowly, and sooner or later, that day will come."
"Perhaps one day, I'll have to rely on you."
Karl said with a smile.
"How could that be? You are the Sorcerer Supreme. How could I ever be worthy of someone like you relying on me?"
Wanda said, her face filled with worship.
Karl merely smiled and shook his head.
