"You seem to be in a hurry?"
Vincent stood quietly.
Scarlet Witch Wanda's power surged throughout her body. Dark red magic released, she planned to use all her strength to buy a chance for her brother to escape.
"Relax, Wanda. If I really wanted your lives, I would have locked onto you during my attack just now." Vincent spread his hands, making a harmless expression.
"What exactly do you want?" Wanda asked nervously.
Vincent's gaze was torch-like, observing Scarlet Witch Wanda.
A beautiful face and a sexy figure. Truly nice.
But what really interested Vincent was the Chaos Magic within her. A breach. The Mind Stone left a breach in her mind. And a certain powerful Demon God left a mark on her.
Was this the true source of the Scarlet Witch's power, and Chaos Magic?
Besides Chaos Magic, she also possessed a mutant ability. The mixture of this mutant ability and Chaos Magic created her reality-warping capability. However, this ability hadn't manifested yet. She was merely warping minds simply.
"Chaos Magic, reality warping. Your power is simply admirable."
Vincent didn't answer Wanda directly. Instead, he continued scanning her body. This made Wanda restless.
Quicksilver stepped forward, blocking Vincent. His superspeed force was tuned to the maximum. His body appeared unreal, vibrating rapidly. The air frequency created a humming sound like a hummingbird.
"Whatever you want, we don't have it anymore. You took the Scepter. You killed Baron Strucker. If you want our lives, I don't mind showing you what speed is!!"
Quicksilver looked coldly at the young man. He knew who this person was. But no one could bully the siblings.
"Relax. Baron Strucker wasn't worth my effort. Though I am interested in the Scepter you mentioned—after all, it's one of the Infinity Stones."
Vincent grabbed the Gem from the Scepter, pulling it out right in front of Wanda and Quicksilver. Simultaneously, the Scepter melted rapidly.
Atomic manipulation. Matter condensed into a new substance, forming a ring, with the Mind Stone embedded within. Under atomic manipulation, it shrank.
"If I had malicious intent, let alone you, even the Demon God who granted you Chaos Magic couldn't stop me."
Vincent put the ring on his finger. Powerful energy injected into his body. Three forces intertwined, even causing the Qi within him to undergo energy mutation. Under the stimulation of this powerful force, the Dragon-Elephant Wisdom finally broke through the 13th layer, entering a marvelous realm.
The terrifying aura forced the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver to retreat continuously.
"Three Infinity Stones do make me feel a trace of pressure. Seems my forging skills aren't as good as the Dwarf King's." Vincent muttered.
The Infinity Gauntlet forged by Eitri could hold six stones. When Thanos wore it, the energy barely harmed him. And Thanos used the Gauntlet to firmly control the stones.
"Let's go. Come back to New York with me. Continuing to wander outside is dangerous for you."
Vincent swiped the air, opening a spatial portal. The door connected to his office at Oscorp.
Vincent turned and stepped into the portal.
Wanda and Quicksilver exchanged glances rapidly. Quicksilver meant for them to run. But Wanda refused. She understood clearly how dangerous this man was. The energy radiating from him could easily kill them both. His inconceivable methods left them no power to resist.
Wanda stepped into the portal. Quicksilver dared not let his sister face danger alone. They followed.
They looked at each other in surprise. The luxurious office before them truly shocked them.
"Sit. I like tea; hope you do too."
Vincent sat at the tea table, brewing Kung Fu tea.
Wanda sat opposite Vincent. Quicksilver boldly sat down too.
"Your power is interesting. Among mutants, there is also a speedster called Quicksilver." Vincent looked at Pietro.
The MCU Quicksilver and X-Men Quicksilver were not the same person. Their ages differed greatly.
"That mutant's father is Magneto. Yes, the Magneto you've heard of."
Vincent observed the siblings' expressions. He saw no other emotions, only nervousness.
"Don't be nervous. I'm casual and kind-hearted. I just can't stand uncontrollable things happening. Like you, Wanda."
Wanda's eyes flickered. "Why me?"
"The power inside you is peculiar. You even mistakenly think the Mind Stone—your 'Scepter'—altered your genes and activated your superpower." Vincent looked at Wanda seriously.
"Isn't it? Hydra found us. Strucker experimented on me, and then I gained this strange energy." Wanda lowered her head, daring not to look at Vincent.
"No. The power inside you is one of the oldest, most powerful forces in the universe. And it is evil, very powerful. The only fortunate thing is you haven't actively embraced it or developed it yet. Otherwise, your power would surpass everything."
Vincent said seriously.
"As far as I know, only one mutant possesses power of this level: Jean Grey. She accidentally obtained the Phoenix Force from the cosmos, making her the most dangerous person on Earth."
Wanda looked at Vincent seriously. As if asking: Isn't the most dangerous person on Earth you?
"My power grew through tempering, reaching this realm. Their original power was strong too, but I kept breaking limits, pushing it to this peak level."
Vincent's voice carried a gentle charm. Unknowingly, Wanda and Quicksilver lowered their guard.
"Power can become stronger through cultivation?"
"Of course."
Vincent suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"Or I can hand you over to her. She will teach you well. You possess infinite power, but your spirit is unstable, easily influenced by power, leading you astray."
"Who is she?" Wanda asked curiously.
"Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One. The Guardian of Earth."
Vincent didn't spare his praise.
"You possess magical talent ordinary people can't reach."
Vincent's finger flashed with a magic rune. Its appearance condensed massive amounts of water from thin air.
"This is magic. But my magic. Water Magic. Incompatible with this world's magic system, but most suitable for me."
Vincent's Water Magic came from Mera, but he had long surpassed her, becoming the Water Sovereign. A Supreme of Water Magic.
Wanda looked at the shining magic with interest.
Quicksilver drank tea silently, daring not to speak. Though Vincent's tone eased his tension, he knew the man's terror. One thought could kill him. A Superman who could dictate his life.
"Will she teach me?" Wanda asked.
"No. In fact, your magic power is essentially the enemy of all sorcerers. The appearance of Scarlet Power is hostile to both White and Dark Mages." Vincent shook his head.
This was a fact. Sorcerers viewed the Scarlet Witch as a viper, willing to pay any price to destroy her. They wouldn't let the true Scarlet Witch be born.
Wanda's bright eyes dimmed suddenly.
"But the Ancient One is different. If I ask, she will agree." Vincent said dominantly.
Yes, if Vincent asked. Even if the Ancient One knew Wanda was the future Scarlet Witch, she would agree to teach her. Because Vincent asked. Strength decided this.
Quicksilver finally spoke. "Why listen to you?"
Wanda glared at her brother fiercely.
Vincent sneered. "Without me, you both would die in the future."
Vincent clenched his fist. The Reality Stone projected an image.
The scene of Ultron's appearance.
"This should be your hometown."
"This is your end, Pietro Maximoff."
"Of course, your current fate has been altered. The robot you faced won't be created now. No, perhaps fate will correct itself—after all, no one can grasp fate completely—but I guarantee, if you don't seek death, you won't die."
Vincent looked deeply at Wanda.
The image changed again.
"This is the future you, Wanda. In the multiverse, this scene might have already happened."
Plots from Doctor Strange 2 unfolded. Until the mad Wanda destroyed the source of the Darkhold.
"This is the consequence of not learning to use magic correctly. Dark magic will drag you into an endless abyss, an abyss of madness. This is also the source of your power: a Dark Magic Book."
As Wanda buried herself in madness, the image ended.
"I don't believe it." Quicksilver said firmly.
"This world is crazier than you imagine. But I can assure you, you won't face these scenes again. My existence has changed many things in this universe." Vincent said dominantly.
"The future is in my hands, not in the hands of pitiful pawns whose fates are dictated by cosmic big shots because they can't control their own power."
Vincent's power warped spacetime around them. They stood in the boundless cosmos. Watching Earth destroyed. Watching the birth of terrifying Celestials. Watching Infinity Stones ravage life. Watching the universe fall into darkness. Watching destroyers appear in the mad multiverse.
"This is the truth."
"Peaceful times exist because someone is guarding them."
"Even now, Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One suppresses countless dimension demons peeping at Earth."
Dormammu's image appeared.
"This is the Dark Dimension, controlled by a Demon God. His ultimate goal is Earth. Resisting his invasion is the Sorcerer Supreme's duty."
Vincent released his fist. The surroundings returned to normal.
"The hatred you speak of... actually wasn't caused by Stark Industries." Vincent said suddenly.
"Do you know how we survived? One step later, and we'd be dead. But our parents died in that attack." Quicksilver said agitatedly.
"No. You only saw that the missile came from Stark Industries. But you don't know that the attack on your hometown was actually a Hydra conspiracy." Vincent looked calm.
"Impossible."
"Nothing is impossible."
"I clearly saw the missile was from Stark Industries."
"That was just a weapon. But you don't know who used it." Vincent said with certainty.
"Also, the person who planned that operation is dead. It was Baron Strucker. By the way, not just you two—many of your compatriots died in their experiments. You two are just lucky survivors."
Vincent spoke mercilessly.
Wanda trembled. Her eyes lost their light. Her hatred shattered. Her benefactor turned out to be her enemy. This was a huge blow to them.
"Don't doubt my words. I read Strucker's memories." Vincent sneered. "Secrets are secrets to you, but to me, there are no secrets."
Vincent leaned back on the sofa.
"I only act as a Good Samaritan for people who interest me. For others, I have no interest in saying so much. They aren't even qualified to see me."
In the face of absolute power, Wanda and Quicksilver could only believe him.
"I believe you. I wish to learn magic from the Ancient One. In the future, I will serve you." Wanda said firmly.
Their future had changed. But fate plays jokes. To avoid death, their best option was to learn more magic. Master power to protect those around them.
"When you are strong enough to roam the multiverse, you will thank me for everything. Because you'll discover you knew the truth of the future and avoided death traps." Vincent whispered.
Wanda and Quicksilver looked at Vincent.
"Pietro, if you want to join Oscorp, join Deep Chill. They will train you to be a top agent."
As for Quicksilver's arrangement, Vincent clearly didn't want him by his side. Bluntly put, he disliked having men around him.
As for Wanda, Vincent truly wanted to change her fate.
"As long as it's good for Wanda, I accept." Quicksilver calmed down.
"Relax, no one can hurt her." Vincent looked confident. "No matter how strong the enemy, the one standing at the front will surely be me."
"Julia." Vincent called out.
His secretary pushed the door open. "Mr. Hall, what are your orders?"
"Notify Captain Gotze of Deep Chill. This is Pietro; he will be his partner in the future." Vincent pointed at Quicksilver.
Julia smiled. "Yes, Sir. I'll arrange it now."
"Also, pay them according to S-Class Talent clauses."
Julia looked surprised at the two. S-Class clauses were the company's top contracts.
"Understood, Sir. Should we advance their salary?"
"Give them a settlement fee. Living in New York is expensive." Vincent smiled. "You two get used to ordinary life quickly. Superpowers aren't everything."
Wanda nodded. But her heart hung on another matter: the Ancient One.
"I will arrange a meeting with the Ancient One. Whether you grasp the opportunity depends on you." Vincent said slowly.
Wonder if the Ancient One has taken Doctor Strange as a disciple yet?
