Chapter 1401: The Call of the Stars (End)
On the first floor of the cafΓ©, a small pot on a flame was boiling fragrant vegetable soup, the tomatoes had been boiled, and the sweet and sour aroma was soaked into the fibers of other vegetables, Xu Shangqi brought out a fried mein, Riley was still heating his semi-finished pizza, and Wanda was already sitting at the table ready to eat.
"I'm sorry, I'm not very good at cooking." Miss Witch shrugged, and then she felt a pair of hands go around her neck and tie a napkin for her.
"Thanks, Jarvis."
"Don't be sorry, miss, everyone's survival experience is different, and I'm afraid you don't have that much spare time to study cooking, do you?" Jarvis said with a smile.
Wanda propped one hand on the table, leaned against her face and said, "Yes, I have the impression that in my childhood, either when I was moving or on the way to move, there was rarely a stable time, not a meal made of half-finished fresh ingredients?" That's a luxury. β
"It's incredible, but I can't help but talk about it, and I always felt that Eric had some idea of compensating for taking me and Pietro around, even though it was painful for us."
Several people set the dishes, and Xu Shang's gentle voice sounded in Wanda's head: "Didn't you try to talk to him?" β
Wanda was shocked and trembled for a moment, then regained her composure and said, "I'm really a little uncomfortable with your ability, I always thought that Professor X was here." β
Xu Shangqi shrugged his shoulders and said in everyone's minds: "But I'm sorry, I can't read minds, I can just transmit sounds, don't you also gain special abilities?" β
"I still don't know if it's good or bad." Riley went to the very back of the table and sat down, moved the stool forward, put his hands on the table, and said, "My spider senses are too sensitive, I tried to use it in cooking to control the heat of the dish, and it didn't work badly." β
"Seriously, Xu." Riley looked at Xu Shangqi again and said, "Before, I thought that only I could hear your voice, I thought it was my special ability, and then when Jarvis said that he could hear it too, I was really shocked." β
Xu Shangqi smiled and said: "Thanks to the fact that it only gave me the ability to 'transmit sound for thousands of miles', if I really know how to read minds, I'm afraid I will scare myself half to death first." β
Wanda peeled a portion of the chow mein onto her plate with a fork and said, "I really don't know how Professor Charles can bear to read Eric's mind, he really won't be?" β
"Seriously, we should diverge from that argument a little bit more." Riley said as he sucked on the noodles.
"Which? Dreams, or evolution? β
"We can't study the dream for the time being, didn't we just try it? I can't sleep while lying in bed, covered with a quilt, or even listening to lullabies, and to be honest, who can fall asleep in this situation...... Of course, we don't need to sleep as often as we don't need to sleep so often, and we're used to it. β
"That's 'evolution.'" Jarvis thoughtfully shared the soup with everyone, and said: "Making a wound, and then creating a new ability in the part where the wound is, can only be said to be an evolution in a broad sense, very broadly. β
Wanda frowned tightly, and Jarvis turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"I have reservations, I don't like to call it evolution, because it sounds like a good word, but it's actually ......" Miss Witch put down her utensils and spread her hands, "has anyone given my consent?" Can't I just like my old eyes? β
"Alright, well, I used the kind of ability I acquired later to take out the army of Sithorne, but you know what that reminds me of that? Eric! β
"That's right, it's that irascible and unpersuadable control freak, he does this every time, I said I want to go to New York University, he said you haven't even finished high school, no college will want you, I said I want to start a family in the future, he said no man can stand me, I said I like children, he said you take care of yourself first."
"Whenever I was so excited about doing something, he would sneer at me and say I can't do this, I can't do that, and there were times when I had a complete breakdown and said, 'What do you think I should do?'"
"And guess what he said?" Wanda leaned forward and rested her hands on the edge of the table, and the others made curious gestures.
"He said, 'You should just stay here and finish what you have at hand!' That's right, it's the same work he asked me to do to blow up that factory today, and to play with FBI agents tomorrow! β
"What makes me even angrier is that he actually claims that this is a training exercise for my abilities, yes, the frequent fights have indeed made me more connected to the forces of Chaos, but is that what I want? Of course not! β
"I love kids and dogs, and I wish we could live in a separate house with yards to move around and not be rolled by our neighbors, and I guess it doesn't take me to be able to fight."
"But he must stab me in the heart with a knife to create a wound, and then when I am angry and sad, I can only use the opportunity he gives me to fight to vent, and then use this to develop a superb level of magic, even if I choose to be a kindergarten teacher, I will never use chaos magic in my life!"
The other three all felt a little suffocated, in fact, the presence of such an uncommunicative, self-talking person in any corner of anyone's life was enough to suffocate people.
But Wanda changed his words and said:
"Actually, I know that he probably means, 'If you want to go to college, go to high school,' 'If you want to find a boyfriend, you have to change your wayward temper,' and 'If I want to have children, at least I have to buy a house and a car.'"
"Yes, he's the kind of guy he is, he never speaks well, but Lorna and I sometimes understand him subtly, maybe because we do resemble him, and sometimes add a Professor Charles, because he can read minds."
"Our relationship isn't very good, but it's not as bad as you might think, and I'd rather describe his overly controlling behavior as a kind of 'twisted fatherhood' who wants me to be what he wants me to be, to master the skills he thinks will be useful because he has benefited from it."
"He's not doing well enough, but he thinks he's lived a lifetime of experience that will help his children, even though it's not."
Wanda sighed softly and continued, "And the topic of this universe is back to square one, I don't feel like I'm being attacked, and so is Riley, and this control is more like a twisted love." β
"Something that thinks that we would be better off if we became like this, and so it changes us, whereas ordinary people may not be better off because of their physical and mental condition, but perhaps it also sees it as a trivial sacrifice in natural evolution."
"So distorted, so indifferent, yet so grand that it is impossible to look directly at, unobservable, terrifying and magnificent at the same time, like another level of nature."
Jarvis stared straight at Wanda, as if he was fascinated by her, although Miss Witch's eyes were now completely two black holes, and there were dry blood stains on her eyelashes, but Jarvis just couldn't take his eyes off Wanda's wisdom and spirituality, as well as beauty.
"If we compare this power to nature, then I think we certainly have a reason to be angry." Xu Shangqi pursed his lips, and his voice sounded in everyone's minds: "No one will thank the earthquake." β
"The movement of the earth's crust does not want to harm us, and so does this power, but what makes it most infuriating is that it brings out the weakness of humanity."
"Once human beings feel their weakness, they will become crazy, and when they encounter mountains and rivers, this is how our ancestors defeated terrible natural disasters step by step, so that human beings can survive to this day."
"Humans are a very strange species." Riley shook his head and said, "We all crave power, we want to be stronger, but now that power is falling on our heads like a pie, we hate it." β
"For the most precious thing about human beings is the potential for free development, not the power of unfreedom." Jarvis objectively pointed out: "The brain is developed if the body is limited, and the tool is upgraded if the efficiency is insufficient, and the way of human evolution is to constantly 'abandon', rather than randomly selecting the lucky one to reward an ability." β
"Oh!" Wanda suddenly realized: "I said what's weird!" Why did it evolve my eyes? What else can I do with this ability but to make me taunt Cithorne? Does being a kindergarten teacher need to look directly at the truth of the universe? β
Riley sighed softly and said, "Spider sensing is my housekeeping skill, but I'm not interested in predicting the future, and if someone else prepares a surprise for me at a party in the future, won't I even have to play an excited expression?" I hate that! β
"Don't look at me." Xu Shangqi shrugged his shoulders and said: "It makes no sense to give me the ability to speak in other people's heads, I am very self-aware, and from my eloquence, it is better to persuade than to persuade physically." β
Then he lamented, "It's okay to give me the ability to fly, I still want to see monkeys!" β
Several people were silent, and after a while, Wanda cried and laughed, "You say, if that mysterious being listened to what we say, will it think that we are all crazy?" Do you have the ability to get it for nothing, and you still have to pick and choose here? β
"Ability is not obtained in vain, isn't suffering considered to be paid?" Xu Shangqi's thoughts were quite simple, and he emphasized: "But we have suffered and we haven't gotten what we want, isn't that still a loss?" β
Wanda and Riley were stunned for a moment, they were actually used to suffering, Xu Shangqi spread his hands and said, "Okay, you can say that I am pampered, but the bullshit attack it made makes us hurt so much, just stuff us with a little ability that is not suitable for us at all to compensate?" Are you so talkative? β
Originally, Wanda and Riley were not too angry, but there is a good saying, the more you think about it for a while, the more you think about it, the more you lose it, the more you draw a card, it's not terrible, it's terrible to have a bad friend in your ear every day, "You deserve better".
Wanda puffed out her cheeks and said, "You have a point, why take out the organs we want and stuff us with the abilities we don't want?" Don't let me know who did it, or I'll make it look good! β
"Then again." Jarvis pulled them back from the emotional output and said, "Wanda, your point is very interesting, which is that the mysterious being has made humans like this, probably because it thinks it would be better. β
"Let's assume that the principle is indeed like this, this kind of power doesn't want to harm humans, but I just think that humans may be more able to adapt to the world if they become like this, I don't mean those ordinary people who have become monsters, but successful products like you who have survived the attack because of their own strength and gained new abilities, then, why does it feel like this?"
"Why do you have to have these special abilities to better adapt to the world? What's wrong with the world? β
As soon as Jarvis finished speaking, he heard a loud noise coming from outside the cafΓ© door, accompanied by the endless shattering of space in the distance, and a male figure with a little girl in his hand and a raccoon on his shoulder rushed towards this direction.
"Quill?!" Jarvis shouted in surprise.
But Quill didn't have time to answer anyone's questions, he just ran and whistled by, shouting, "Run! Go to Central Park! Find the Ancient One! β
A few people stood in front of the window of the coffee shop, looking at the terrifying dark vortex rolling from the New York skyline, the space was like coffee beans being thrown into the coffee machine, and at the time of the rumbling sound and tremors, the vortex was completely shattered, and the whole world was gradually shattering.
Several people hurriedly ran, and Jarvis asked as he ran, "What the hell is going on, Quill?!" β
"What do you mean? Am I still this world?! β
"Both!"
"I touched the truth, and the world was destroyed!"
"What the hell is going on?" Wanda roared.
"This world is a dream!"
"Dreams?!"
Coming to the side of the road in New York's Central Park, several people saw the phantom of a huge temple, and the ancient one seemed to have been waiting for them for a long time, and a huge portal was standing above her head.
"Let's go." The brilliance of magic reflected on Gu Yi's face, which was already full of black patterns, Xu Shangqi was about to say something, but Gu Yi interrupted him and said, "I don't want to seek death, I just have to face the master of the dream, this is the responsibility and fate of the Supreme Mage." β
Suddenly, a powerful magical force swept through several people and pushed them into the portal.
Before Quill led Jennifer into the portal, the ancient one glanced at them and said, "Thank you for revealing the nature of this world...... Forgive me for not being able to do this, I have to save my strength to face more of the truth. β
As Jennifer's face faded into the magical glow of the portal, the Ancient One saw the little girl lip-sync to herβ"Thank you!" β
Endless light burst out from the eyes of the ancient one, and the crack that had not been closed for a long time slowly closed in a burst of dazzling golden light, with a strong and undeniable attitude, and no longer left any scars, and the brilliance was complete.
"Come on, let me see, who is in charge of destiny in dreams!"
The ancient one's robe floated, her eyes staring straight at the starry sky, but just as she wanted to touch the truth, an angry roar came from the edge of the portalβ
"Blinded me! You still want me to fuck off like this?! Dream! β
Humans can't look directly at the truth of the universe, but angry women can.
The Scarlet Witch burst out of her body with a strong red light, illuminating almost the entire starry sky, and the red light in her eyes was like a chaotic flame ignited when the endless universe was not yet born, so powerful that it burned through everything, and her roar echoed throughout the universe:
"Silthorne! I command you to respond! β
Sithorne's voice came intermittently.
"What's that?"
Sithorne wondered.
"Behind me!"
Silthorne began to fear.
"Wanda, you can't ......"
"Rubbish!"
Immediately afterward, Silthorne felt that the almost infinite forces of chaos that constituted and surrounded him were shaken, and they began to rush towards another place at a speed that even Silthorne felt terrifying, so fast and numerous that even Silthorne felt that he was facing death.
"Wanda, stop!! You're going to ruin everything!! β
When the infinite forces of chaos and the eternal power from eternity erupted at the same time, the world was completely shattered.
And Wanda and the Ancient One saw a huge and magnificent scene behind the chaotic and broken whirlpool at the same time.
Before the universe collapsed completely, Wanda felt the greatest pride and indomitable of humanity in her heart, turning into a flame of supreme anger.
And so, the Scarlet Witch, who never knew what forbearance was, ignited all of her chaotic powers in a way that encompassed the most malicious hatred and vindictiveness of humanity.
Endless flames burned between countless dream universes, like a prairie fire, burning these unconscious dreams without leaving a trace.
And Wanda, who is almost integrated with the rules of chaos, has a pleasure of revenge in her empty eyes, and if I am frightened in the dark night and have no dreams, then no one wants to have it.
Finally, the lonely crimson figure stood in the middle of the universe, facing the stars, and without hesitation, he summoned his true nameβ
"...... of Azathoth"
After that, it's the main line of the Marvel Cancer universe: D
