On the first floor of the cafe, a small pot on a flame was simmering a fragrant vegetable soup. The tomatoes had been boiled, and the sweet and sour aroma was infiltrated into the fibers of other vegetables. Xu Shangqi served it.
A piece of fried noodles, Riley was still heating his half-finished pizza, and Wanda had already sat at the table and was 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 life experience is different. I'm afraid you don't have that much free time to study cooking, right?" Jarvis said with a smile.
Wanda put one hand on the table, leaning on her face and said: "Yes, I have the impression that in my childhood, I was either moving or on the way to move. There was rarely a stable time, no.
Semi-finished meals made with fresh ingredients? That’s really a luxury.”
"Although it is incredible, but I can't help but talk about this, I always feel that Eric brought me and Pietro around with some compensation ideas, even though it caused us both pain."
After several people set the dishes, Xu Shangwen's gentle voice sounded in Wanda's mind: "Didn't you try to talk to him?"
Wanda was shocked for a moment, then regained her composure and said, "I'm really not used to your ability. I always thought Professor X was here."
Xu Shangqi shrugged and said in everyone's mind: "But I'm sorry, I can't read minds. I can only transmit sounds. Didn't you also gain special abilities?"
"I still don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing." Riley walked to the end of the dining table and sat down, moved the stool forward, put his hands on the table and said, "My spider sense is too sensitive. I tried
Use it in cooking to control the heat of dishes, and the effect is not bad."
"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. Later, Jarvis said
I was really shocked when he could hear it too."
Xu Shangqi smiled and said: "Thank you for giving me the ability of 'thousand-mile voice transmission'. If I really knew how to read minds, I would probably scare myself half to death first."
Wanda peeled off part of the fried noodles with a fork and put it on her plate, and said: "I really don't know how Professor Charles can bear to read Eric's mind. Is he really not going to be pissed to death?"
"Seriously, we should expand on that argument from before," Riley said as he slurped the noodles.
"Which one? Dream or evolution?"
"We can't study dreams for the time being. Didn't we all try just now? Lying on the bed, covered with quilts, or even listening to lullabies, I can't fall asleep. To be honest, who can fall asleep in this situation is a ghost.
…Of course, our superpowers that are different from ordinary people mean that we don’t need to sleep so frequently, and we have become accustomed to it.”
"That's 'evolution'." Jarvis thoughtfully shared the soup with everyone, and said: "Creating wounds, and then creating new abilities in the parts where the wounds are located, can only be said to be evolution in a broad sense, a very broad sense.
.”
Wanda frowned tightly, and Jarvis turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I have reservations. I don't like to call it evolution, because it sounds like a good word, but in fact..." Miss Witch put down the tableware, spread her hands and said, "Does anyone ask for my permission? I just
Can't you like my original eyes?"
"Okay, okay, I used the ability I acquired later to defeat Sithorne's army, but do you know what this reminds me of? Eric!"
"That's right, he's that irritable, control freak who doesn't listen to advice. He's like this every time. I said I wanted to study at New York University, and he said you haven't even finished high school, so no university will accept you.
, I said I wanted to start a family in the future, and he said no man could stand me. I said I like children, but he said you take care of yourself first."
"Whenever I was very ambitious and wanted to do something, he would always sneer at me, saying that I couldn't do this or that. There were several times when I completely collapsed and said, 'Well, what do you think I should do?
'."
"What do you think he said?" Wanda leaned forward and placed her hands on the edge of the table. Several other people also made curious gestures.
"He said, 'You should stay here and finish the work you have!' Yes, it was what he asked me to do. Today I would blow up the factory and tomorrow I would play tricks on the FBI agents.
Such work!"
"What makes me even more angry is that he actually claimed that he was exercising my abilities. Yes, frequent fights have indeed made my connection with the power of chaos deeper, but is that what I want? Of course not!"
"I like children and pet dogs. I hope we can live in an independent house with a yard to play in and not get eye-rolling from the neighbors. I think having all this does not require me to be a good fighter."
"But he must stab my heart with a knife and create a wound. Then when I am angry and sad, I can only use the opportunity he gave me to fight to vent my anger, and then use this to develop my superb magic level. Even if
If I choose to be a kindergarten teacher, I will never use chaos magic in my life!"
The other three people all felt a little suffocated. In fact, if this kind of person who cannot communicate and talks to himself appears in any corner of anyone's life, it is enough to make people suffocate.
But Wanda changed the subject and said:
"Actually, I know what he meant was, 'If you want to go to college, go to high school.' 'If you want to find a boyfriend, you have to change your willful temper.' 'If I want children, at least I have to first
Buy a house or a car’.”
"Yes, he is this kind of person. He never speaks well, but sometimes Lorna and I can understand him subtly, maybe because we are really similar. Sometimes we add Professor Charles because he can read
Heart."
"Our relationship is not that good, but it is not as bad as you think. I prefer to describe his over-controlling behavior as a kind of 'twisted fatherly love'. He hopes that I will become what he wants.
Acquire skills he finds useful because he has benefited from them."
"He didn't live well enough, but he thought his lifetime of experience would help his children, even though that wasn't the case."
Wanda sighed softly and continued: "And the topic about this universe has returned to its original point. I did not feel that I was being attacked, and neither did Riley. This kind of control is more like a twisted love."
"Something thinks that we will live better if we become like this, so it changes us. Ordinary people may not be able to get better because of their physical function and mental condition, but maybe it only sees this as
A small sacrifice in natural evolution."
"So twisted and indifferent, but so grand that it cannot be seen directly or observed. It is both terrifying and magnificent, just like nature on another level."
Jarvis stared straight at Wanda, as if he was fascinated by her. Even though Miss Witch's eyes were completely black holes now, and her eyelashes were still stained with dried blood, Jarvis just couldn't look away.
For Wanda’s wisdom, spirituality, and beauty.
"If we compare this power to nature, then I think we certainly have reasons to be angry." Xu Shangqi pursed his lips, and his voice rang in everyone's minds: "No one will thank the earthquake."
"The movement of the earth's crust does not intend to harm us, nor does this force, but the most irritating thing about it is that it highlights the weakness of human beings."
"Once human beings feel their own weakness, they will become crazy. They will create mountains when encountering mountains and cut off water when encountering water. This is how our ancestors defeated terrible natural disasters step by step, allowing mankind to survive to this day."
"Humans are indeed a very strange species." Riley shook his head and said: "We all long for power and want to become stronger, but now power is falling on our heads like a pie, but we are...
I hate it."
"Because the most precious thing about human beings is the potential for free development, not the power of unfreedom." Jarvis objectively pointed out: "If the body is limited, develop the brain, and if the efficiency is insufficient, upgrade the tools. The path of human evolution is to constantly 'sublate'
', rather than randomly selecting lucky people to award an ability."
"Oh!" Wanda said with sudden realization: "I said, "What's weird! Why does it want to evolve my eyes? What else can I do with this ability besides making fun of Sithorne? Be a kindergarten teacher"
Do we need to look directly at the truth of the universe?”
Riley sighed softly and said: "The spider sense is my special skill, but I have no interest in predicting the future. Besides, if someone prepares a surprise for me at a party in the future, wouldn't I even be excited?
You have to act out all your expressions? I hate that!”
"Don't look at me." Xu Shangqi shrugged and said, "It makes no sense to give me the ability to speak in other people's heads. I am very self-aware. Judging from my eloquence, logical persuasion is not as good as physical persuasion."
Then he lamented: "You can give me the ability to fly. I also want to see monkeys!"
Everyone fell silent. After a while, Wanda said in a dumbfounded voice: "Tell me, if that mysterious existence listens to what we say, will it think that we are all crazy? If you don't have the ability for free, you still need it."
Are you picking and choosing here?"
"Ability is not obtained for free. Doesn't suffering count as sacrifice?" Xu Shangqi's idea was quite simple. He emphasized: "But we suffered a lot but didn't get what we wanted, so we still suffered a loss.
Yet?"
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 I'm spoiled, but the bullshit attack it caused caused us so much pain.
How can we make up for the fact that our abilities are not suitable for us at all? Are you so easy to talk to?"
Wanda and Riley weren't too angry at first, but there is a saying that goes well. The more you think about it, the angrier it becomes. The more you think about it, the more you take a step back. It's not scary if you draw a card crookedly. What's scary is that you have a bad friend who is with you every day.
"You deserve better" is whispered in my ears.
Wanda puffed up her cheeks and said: "What you said makes sense. Why should we take away the organs we want and then give us abilities we don't want? Don't let me know who did it, otherwise I will make it look good.
!”
"Speaking of which." Jarvis pulled them back from their emotional output and said: "Wanda, your point just now is very interesting. It is that the mysterious existence turned human beings into this way, maybe because it thought it would
Better' view."
"We assume that the principle is indeed like this. This kind of power does not want to harm humans, but just thinks that humans may be better able to adapt to the world after becoming like this. I am not referring to the ordinary people who become monsters, but you who are like this because of your own
It has survived the attack and gained a new ability, so why does it feel so?"
"Why do you have to have these special abilities to better adapt to the world? What's wrong with the world?"
As soon as Jarvis finished speaking, he heard a loud noise coming from outside the coffee shop door. Along with the endless fragmentation of space in the distance, a male figure holding a little girl in his arms and a raccoon on his shoulders rushed towards this direction.
.
"Quell?!" Jarvis shouted in surprise.
But Quill had no time to answer anyone's questions. He just ran and whizzed past and shouted: "Run! Go to Central Park! Find the Ancient One!"
Several people stood in front of the window of the coffee shop, looking at the terrifying dark vortex rolling in from the New York skyline. The space was like coffee beans being thrown into the coffee machine, and was completely shattered by the vortex with the rumbling sound and tremors.
The whole world is gradually falling apart.
Several people hurriedly ran, and Jarvis asked as he ran: "What's going on, Quill?!"
"What do you mean? Me or this world?!"
“Both!”
"I touched the truth, and the world was destroyed!"
"What's going on?" Wanda roared.
"This world is a dream!"
"Dream?!"
Arriving at the roadside of New York's Central Park, several people saw the shadow of a huge temple. It seemed that Gu Yi had been waiting for them for a long time, and a huge portal stood directly above her head.
"Let's go." The light of magic reflected on Gu Yi's face, which was already covered with black patterns. Xu Shangqi was about to say something, but Gu Yi interrupted him and said, "I don't want to die.
I just have to face the master of the dream, this is the responsibility and destiny of the Supreme Mage."
Suddenly, a powerful magical force swept through several people and pushed them into the portal.
Before Quill took Jennifer into the portal, 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 must retain the strength to face more
the truth."
As Jennifer's face gradually disappeared from the magical light of the portal, Ancient One saw the little girl mouthing to her - "Thank you!"
Endless light burst out from Gu Yi's eyes, and the crack that had not been closed for a long time slowly closed in a burst of dazzling golden light with a powerful and undeniable gesture, leaving nothing behind.
Scars, glorious perfection.
"Come on, let me see who controls destiny in dreams!"
Ancient Yi's robe floated, her eyes stared directly at the starry sky, but just when she wanted to touch the truth, an angry roar came from the edge of the portal——
"You blinded me! And you want me to just get out?! It's a dream!"
Human beings cannot look directly at the truth of the universe, but angry women can.
A strong red light emitted from the Scarlet Witch's body, almost lighting up the entire starry sky. The red light in her eyes was like the flame ignited by chaos before the endless universe was born. It was so powerful that it burned through everything. Her roar echoed throughout the universe:
"Sithorne! I command you to respond!"
Sithorn's voice came intermittently.
"what is that?"
Sithorne was confused.
"Behind me!"
Sithorne began to fear.
"Wanda, you can't..."
"waste!"
Immediately afterwards, Sithorn felt that the almost endless chaotic power that formed and surrounded him was shaken. They began to fly towards another place at a speed that even Sithorn felt terrifying.
They were almost there, so many that even Sithorn felt like he was facing death.
"Wanda, stop it!! You will ruin everything!!!"
When the endless power of chaos and the eternal power from eternity burst out at the same time, the world was completely shattered.
At the same time, Wanda and Ancient One saw an indescribably huge and majestic scene behind the chaotic and broken whirlpool.
Before the universe completely collapsed, Wanda felt that the greatest pride and unyieldingness belonging to mankind in her heart turned into the flame of ultimate anger.
Therefore, the Scarlet Witch, who never understood the meaning of tolerance, ignited all her chaotic powers in a way that contained the most malicious hatred and revenge of mankind.
Endless flames burned among countless dream universes, like a prairie fire, burning these unconscious dreams without leaving a trace behind.
And Wanda, who is almost integrated with the rules of chaos, has the joy of revenge in her empty eyes. If I am terrified in the dark night and have no sweet dreams, then no one can have them.
Finally, the lonely crimson figure stood in the universe, facing the stars, and called out his true name without any scruples——
"Azathos..."
