Chapter 1394 The Call of the Stars (End)
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 a cup of soup. A portion of fried noodles, Riley was still heating his half-finished pizza, and Wanda had already sat down at the table to start eating.
"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, do you?" 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.”
"As incredible as it is, and I can't help but talk about it, I always felt that Eric had some compensatory thought in bringing me and Pietro around, even though it was painful for both of us."
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. Don't you guys also have 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. Isn't he really going to be pissed off?"
"Seriously, we should expand on that argument a little bit more," Riley said as he slurped down the noodles.
"Which one? Dream or evolution?"
"We can't study dreams for the time being. Didn't we all try just now? We can't fall asleep even if we lie on the bed, cover ourselves with quilts, or even listen to lullabies. To be honest, whoever can fall asleep in this situation is a fool. …Of course, our extraordinary superpowers mean that we don’t need to sleep so frequently, and we’ve 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 actually..." Miss Witch put down the tableware, spread her hands and said, "Did anyone ask for my permission? I just Can’t you like my original eyes?”
"Okay, okay, I used the power 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, but he said you haven't even finished high school, so no university will accept you. , I said that I wanted to start a family in the future, and he said that no man could stand me. I said that I like children, and he said that you should 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 just stay here and finish the work you are doing!' Yes, it was what he asked me to do: blow up the factory today and play tricks on the FBI agents tomorrow. Kind of work!”
"What makes me even more angry is that he actually claimed that he was training my abilities. Yes, frequent fights did make my connection with the power of chaos deeper, but is that what I want? Of course not!"
“I loved kids and dogs, and I wanted us to live in a house with a yard to play in and not get any eye-rolls from the neighbors, and I figured it didn’t require me to be a good fight to have all that.”
"But he had to stab my heart with a knife and create a wound. Then when I was angry and sad, I could 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, the presence of such a person who is unable to communicate and talks to himself in any corner of anyone's life is enough to make people suffocate.
But Wanda changed the topic 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 wants me to become what he wants, Acquire skills he finds useful because he has benefited from them."
"He wasn't doing 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 couldn't look away. For Wanda’s wisdom and 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, and neither does this force, but the most infuriating thing about it is that it highlights the weakness of human beings."
"Once human beings feel their own weakness, they will become crazy, breaking mountains and cutting off 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... Dislike it."
"Because the most precious thing about human beings is the potential for free development, not the power of unfreedom." Jarvis objectively pointed out: "Develop the brain if the body is limited, and upgrade the tools if the efficiency is insufficient. The path of human evolution is to constantly 'sublate' ’, instead of randomly selecting lucky people to award an ability.”
"Oh!" Wanda suddenly 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: "Spider-sense is my special skill, but I have no interest in predicting the future. Besides, if someone prepares surprises for me at parties in the future, wouldn't I even be excited?" Do you have to act like that? 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 dumbfounded: "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 in vain, you still need it." Are you picking and choosing here?”
"Ability is not obtained for free. Doesn't suffering count as hard work?" Xu Shangqi's thoughts were quite simple. He emphasized: "But we suffered a lot but didn't get what we wanted, so aren't we still at a loss?" Already?"
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. Are you so easy to talk to as compensation for the fact that our abilities are not suitable at all?"
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 to draw a card crookedly. What's scary is that there is a harmful 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' this view."
"Let's assume that the principle is indeed like this. This power does not want to harm humans. It just thinks that humans may be more adaptable to this world by becoming like this. I am not referring to those ordinary people who have become monsters, but successful products like you who have survived the attack and gained new abilities because of their own strength. So, why does it think so?"
"Why do we have to have these special abilities to better adapt to this world? What's wrong with this world?"
As soon as Jarvis finished speaking, he heard a loud noise coming from outside the coffee shop. With the endless shattering of space in the distance, a male figure holding a little girl in his hands and a raccoon sitting on his shoulders ran towards this side.
"Quil?!" Jarvis shouted in surprise.
But Quill had no time to answer anyone's questioning tone. He just ran and whistled past, shouting: "Run! Go to Central Park! Find Ancient One!"
Several people stood in front of the window of the coffee shop, watching the terrifying dark vortex rolling in from the New York skyline. The space was like coffee beans thrown into a coffee machine. With the rumbling sound and tremor, it was completely shattered by the vortex. The whole world was gradually breaking.
Several people ran quickly, 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?!"
When they came to the side of the road in New York's Central Park, they saw the shadow of a huge temple. Ancient One seemed to have been waiting for them for a long time, and a huge portal stood above her head.
"You go." The light of magic reflected on Ancient One's face, which was full of black patterns. Xu Shangqi was about to say something, but Ancient One interrupted him and said, "I don't want to die, I just have to face the owner of the dream. This is the responsibility and destiny of the Supreme Sorcerer."
Suddenly, a powerful magical force swept over several people and pushed them into the portal.
Before Quill took Jennifer into the portal, Ancient One looked at them and said, "Thank you for revealing the nature of this world... Forgive me for not being able to do this. I must save my strength to face more truths."
When Jennifer's face gradually disappeared in the magical light of the portal, Ancient One saw the little girl mouthing to her - "Thank you!"
Endless light burst out from Ancient One's eyes, and the crack that had not been closed for a long time slowly closed in a dazzling golden light with a strong and irresistible gesture, leaving no scars, and the glory was perfect.
"Come on, let me see who dominates fate in dreams!"
Ancient One's robe floated, and his eyes looked straight 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 my eyes! Do you want me to get out like this?! Dream on!"
Humans cannot look directly at the truth of the universe, but angry women can.
Scarlet Witch's body was emitting a strong red light, almost illuminating the entire starry sky. The red light in her eyes was like the flames ignited by chaos before the endless universe was born, so powerful that it burned through everything. Her roar echoed throughout the universe:
"Xisong! I command you to respond!"
Xisong's voice came intermittently.
"What is that?"
Xisong was puzzled.
"Behind me!"
Xisong began to fear.
"Wanda, you can't..."
"Waste!"
Then, Xisong felt that the almost endless chaotic power that constituted and surrounded her was shaken. They began to rush to another place at a speed that even Xisong felt terrified. The speed was so fast and the number was so large that even Xisong felt that he was facing death.
"Wanda, stop! You will destroy everything!!!"
When the endless chaotic power and the eternal power from eternity broke out at the same time, the world was completely shattered.
And Wanda and Ancient One saw a huge and magnificent scene behind the chaotic and broken vortex at the same time.
Before the universe completely collapsed, Wanda felt the greatest pride and indomitable spirit in her heart, which belonged to mankind, and turned into the flame of extreme anger.
So, the Scarlet Witch, who never understood what tolerance was, ignited all her chaotic power in a way that contained the most malicious hatred and revenge of mankind.
Endless flames burned between countless dream universes, like a prairie fire, burning these unconscious dreams to ashes, leaving nothing behind.
And Wanda, who was almost integrated with the rules of chaos, had a pleasure of revenge in her empty eyes. If I was panicked in the dark night and had no beautiful dreams, then no one else would have them.
Finally, the lonely scarlet figure stood in the universe, facing the stars, and called out His real name without hesitation -
"Azathoth..."
It's over, and then it's the main line of the Marvel Cancer Universe:D
