Chapter 84 The Master's Universe
London.
Wanda and Saul stood on the banks of the Thames, looking at London Bridge on the opposite bank.
"Can you feel it?" Wanda suddenly asked.
Thor nodded: "There's a strange fluctuation, like something is being sealed away."
Wanda closed her eyes, and chaotic magic surged from her body, forming a crimson sensory field around her.
"Over there," Wanda pointed in the direction of London Bridge.
As the two approached the bridge, Wanda's chaos magic began to fluctuate violently; the Reality Stone lay beneath the bridge.
"I will break the seal," Wanda said.
Chaos magic surged from his hand, transforming into a scarlet tentacle that plunged deep into the Thames.
The water began to boil, and a huge whirlpool appeared in the middle of the river, with a red gem faintly visible at the center of the whirlpool.
But at this moment, a group of men in black appeared and surrounded Wanda and Thor. The leader was a woman wearing a black bodysuit and holding an energy sword.
The woman said coldly, "I am a representative of the British Ministry of Magic. The Reality Stone falls under the jurisdiction of the British Ministry of Magic. Please cease your actions immediately."
Wanda looked at the woman, a disdainful smile playing on her lips: "Ministry of Magic? You can't even use magic properly, yet you dare call yourself a magic ministry?"
The woman's face turned grim, and the man in black behind her raised his energy gun, aiming it at Wanda and Thor.
Thor raised Mjolnir, arcs of electricity crackling on its head: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
A hint of hesitation flashed in the woman's eyes. She could sense the power emanating from Thor, a power far surpassing that of their technologically advanced weapons.
"Let them go." Just as the two sides were still deadlocked, an old man with white hair holding a scepter stepped out from the crowd, and the men in black around him made way for him.
"Elder!" The woman looked at the old man in surprise, not expecting that this matter would disturb the old man's intervention.
The old man ignored the woman's surprise and looked at Wanda and Thor: "A user of chaos magic, and an Asgardian, I can sense that you are not from this universe."
Wanda narrowed her eyes: "Do you know our origins?"
The old man nodded: "I know, and I also know what you've been doing in the main world, but I advise you that the Reality Stone is not something you can touch."
"Why?" Thor asked.
After a moment of silence, the old man slowly spoke: "Once the seal on the Reality Stone is broken, it will release what's inside, something that might be even more terrifying than Malekith."
"What is sealed away?" Wanda asked.
The old man shook his head: "I don't know. All I know is that it's pure evil. Malekith sealed the Reality Stone to prevent it from escaping."
After a moment of contemplation, Wanda raised her hand and conjured a scarlet magic circle in front of her: "I need to contact my master."
The figure of the Holy Lord appeared within the magic circle.
"Master," Wanda said respectfully, kneeling on one knee, "something else is sealed within the Reality Stone. The British Ministry of Magic says it's pure evil."
After a moment of silence, the Holy Lord spoke: "Open the seal. No matter what is sealed inside, it cannot stop me."
Wanda nodded, cut off the connection, and said to the old man, "You heard it too, the master's orders cannot be disobeyed."
The old man's face turned pale instantly: "You'll regret this."
Ignoring the old man's warning, Wanda unleashed chaos magic once more, its crimson tentacles plunging into the water and violently tearing at the Reality Stone's seal.
The seal gradually collapsed under the tearing force of the chaotic magic, and a black aura filled with despair surged out from it.
The old man took a step back, his face filled with fear: "He's here, he's here."
The whirlpool in the river grew larger and larger, and a huge figure emerged from the water. It was pitch black, with a scarlet light in its eyes, and its body was shrouded in black mist.
The humanoid creature looked at Wanda and said, "You released me, so in return, I can let you die a quick death."
Wanda scoffed, chaos magic coalescing in her hand: "You?!"
The humanoid being raised its hand, and black mist transformed into water snakes that coiled around Wanda. Wanda dodged the attack with a quick movement, while at the same time, chaotic magic transformed into sharp blades and slashed at him.
The blade pierced through the humanoid creature's body without causing any harm.
The humanoid being laughed loudly: "I am a pure spiritual being; your attacks are ineffective against me."
Thor raised Mjolnir, unleashing a barrage of lightning upon the humanoid creature, but it did no damage.
The humanoid creature laughed even more unrestrainedly: "Now, it's my turn!"
A black fog enveloped the entire city of London, and everyone felt dizzy, as if their souls were about to be pulled out of their bodies.
"Master said that nothing can stop him," Wanda whispered, as the mark left by the Holy Lord within her began to emerge, and the Holy Lord's aura surged forth from Wanda's body.
A hint of surprise flashed in the humanoid creature's eyes. The branding of a rabbit and a horse appeared alternately on its head. It could feel the connection between itself and the aura emanating from the woman in front of it, the relationship between a monarch and a slave.
Chaos magic materialized in the air into a gigantic crimson hand that grabbed the humanoid creature. He tried to break free, but the aura emanating from the hand was constantly eroding his mind, and he felt his consciousness gradually fading.
The humanoid being said in disbelief, "How is this possible? Your power..."
Wanda coldly replied, "How dare you, a lowly creature, be arrogant in the face of the power bestowed upon you by your master?"
Under the influence of the Holy Lord's aura, the humanoid creature's body began to disintegrate, and the black mist splashed in all directions before finally turning into nothingness.
Wanda raised her hand, and chaos magic enveloped the Reality Stone, which slowly flew into her hand.
The old man stared in disbelief at the scene; he had never seen anyone so easily destroy a curse in all his centuries.
"Who exactly are you people?" the old man asked, trembling.
Wanda didn't answer, but gripped the gem in her hand and smiled slightly: "Master, mission accomplished."
Wanda put the Reality Stone into her pocket and gave the old man a cold look: "All you need to know is that this is your master's universe."
After Wanda finished speaking, she raised her hand and drew a scarlet portal in the air, behind which was the central courtyard of Kamar-Taj.
"Let's go." Wanda called to Thor without turning her head.
Thor glanced at the old man one last time, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed, saying, "The master of this universe has arrived. Everything you do from now on is meaningless."
The old man stared blankly as the portal between the two closed, muttering to himself, "The master of this timeline."
The old man trembled at the thought of the crimson giant hand appearing, "Master of divine grace, what will become of this timeline?"
