Chapter 214: A Bad Idea
Wanda slowly opened the communication interface, selected the contact option, and hesitated for a moment with her dangling finger on the "connect" button. She deliberated over and over the wording of her report to her boss, and it took her a long time before she finally pressed the "connect" option with difficulty.
The signal is sent, the contact is connected, and Michael quickly appears on the other side of the screen.
"Did Dr. Servig bring it back?" He asked.
"Nope." Wanda said dejectedly, "We...... There was a bit of an accident. ”
She gave a brief account of the mission, recounting the involvement of Amora and her servants, the battle for the scepter, and how the Doctor disappeared from the battle.
“...... I'm sorry, it's my problem, if I can be a little more careful and pay more attention, maybe ...... Maybe we could have brought back Dr. Servig. Wanda felt apologetic.
Yes, Amora and the executioner, she actually had her eye on Dr. Servig. Does this mean that she is also interested in the intersection of the nine kingdoms?
No, if it were more accurate, maybe the person behind Amola should be interested.
Ever since the last time Amora was snatched from Michael's barrier by a mysterious figure, Michael has been concerned about the identity of the person behind her. Judging from his indirect performance of strength, he should be a fairly strong opponent, and it is even possible that everything Amora did was dictated by that person.
Being able to instruct an arrogant witch like the Witch Witch means that the other party must have a lot of background, and it is likely that he is still a conspirator. But since the "Evil Master" turmoil that Zemo tossed, the mysterious figure and the witch have not moved, as if they have completely disappeared from the face of the earth. Michael guessed that maybe the other party was waiting for a special opportunity, an opportunity, waiting in the shadows.
Now it seems that this celestial convergence is the time that the other party is waiting for. Dr. Eric Selvig, who knows the most about this rare celestial phenomenon, undoubtedly played an important role in a related conspiracy.
Michael pondered for a long time and said, "Got it." I don't blame you, I didn't expect the Witch of the Divine Domain to interfere in advance, and things seem to be a little more complicated than I originally expected. This unexpected situation is not your problem. ”
He had sent Wanda and Gwen to fetch Dr. Servig back to help deal with the Celestial Convergence, hoping that they would protect the Doctor from the Dark Elves or some other monster from elsewhere in the Nine Realms. With the strength of the two of them, it should be more than enough to deal with the threats that may appear in the "Thor 2" movie (if you don't count the aether particles).
Amora's turmoil is a completely unknown variable, and she makes the plot of the film even more unpredictable. Maybe even the fact that things have been completely out of the original story line by now.
But the thing to do remains the same.
"Gather the team, Wanda." Michael continued, "Gather the others and you'll lead the way. Find a way to find that Wizard of God's Domain, rescue Dr. Servig, retrieve the scepter, and stop her plans—whatever that may be. ”
Wanda was stunned for a moment. She had expected Michael to say that he would deal with it himself next—usually such a major event involving the safety of the world would attract his attention.
"It's a big deal. It may be a bit complicated to explain in detail, but the general idea is that our world is converging with other worlds, and ignoring it could lead to a planetary catastrophe. Dr. Eric Servig is the best person to stop this. As for Amora's side, I don't know what she's planning, but it's certainly not going to be a good thing. ”
After a pause, Michael said solemnly: "I say this so that you can understand the gravity of the task. I'm just assured that you're in charge, can you do it? ”
Wanda felt a little suffocated. She wasn't sure if she deserved to be entrusted with something as important.
"But if it's really that important," she asked carefully...... "maybe...... Maybe it's better for you to handle it yourself? ”
Michael shook his head: "I have more important issues to deal with right now. I'll probably be away from Earth for a few days. ”
Wanda subconsciously let out an "ah". Knowing that Michael was not there at such a critical moment made her feel inexplicably unsure.
But when she found out she had this thought, she quickly kicked it out of her head.
This will not work. She hadn't realized it before, but it seemed that just knowing that Michael was nearby made her inexplicably reassuring. It felt like knowing that someone somewhere in the sky was watching over her, watching over the whole world, and it made her never really feel fear when she faced a strong enemy or a dangerous desperate situation.
Because he is omnipotent, he can do anything and solve any problem. Even if God comes, he can arrange it for him clearly.
It wasn't until now that he said he was going to leave for a few days that Wanda was surprised to find that deep down she had relied on him to such a point. This made her feel flustered uncontrollably.
Because it meant that the burden fell on her shoulders instead.
But that doesn't work. Sharing the pressure and dealing with the crisis for him is exactly what she is here for, and it is the meaning of the existence of this whole team. And now is the time for her to do her job.
"I see." Wanda nodded and said seriously, "I'll do my best...... No, I'll definitely take care of it. And ......"
She hesitated and bit her lip.
...... And I hope to be closer to you and get to know you better...... I want to share more for you.
"What else?"
Wanda let out a long breath.
“...... Nope. She avoided the screen, "Just trying to make you careful." ”
"I will."
End of communication. Michael's attention returned to his lab. Lady Jane Foster was still faint and lying on the bench behind him, several sophisticated scientific instruments scanning her body directly above, monitoring her signs in real time.
Michael walked around to the back of the bench: "Any good news?" ”
"The 'Aether Particle' has been fully integrated with Miss Foster's body, and there is no known means by which it can be separated." Shirley said, "The 'Aether' has shown a strong overreaction to some of the scans, and it is protecting its host. It is speculated that any strong means of separation could lead to a violent counterattack by the 'Aether Particles', with unpredictable consequences. ”
This means that without proper manipulation, aether particles cannot be separated from the host.
Michael happens to know who knows the "right way".
"Fetch the blueprints for the Quantum Shuttle, Shirley." He paused, "I might have a not-so-good idea." ”
