34. The Terrified Fury
34. The Terrified Fury
Ji Yuan returned to New York.
Without a doubt, the girl the Ancient One mentioned is Wanda, who wields chaos magic.
The settings here are slightly different from the original MCU.
Wanda's chaos magic was originally innate, but it had always been suppressed and difficult to use. Later, the Mind Stone stimulated its potential, allowing it to be fully manifested.
Wanda's chaos magic here is also innate, but it is suppressed to a deeper level and cannot be used. It was Sithon who opened a crack in her power and left darkness, waiting for a certain moment to erupt completely.
It has to be said that Sithon is really cunning; he's always causing trouble everywhere.
Jarvis then looked up information about Wanda, which was largely consistent with the original plot outline.
"Jarvis, plus Wanda's social media accounts."
Ji Yuan decided to try contacting them online first.
"I'm sorry, sir, Miss Wanda does not have any social media accounts. According to my data, she does not have any communication devices such as mobile phones. Sokovia is currently in the midst of frequent warfare."
"Oops—I forgot."
Jarvis's words poured cold water on Ji Yuan's enthusiasm. He remembered that Sokovia had been in a state of war and even the internet was not very widespread, let alone mobile phones and social media accounts.
This is actually one of the reasons why Wanda's psychological problems became more and more serious. Before she officially awakened her abilities, her connection with the outside world was broken.
Meanwhile, all their knowledge of the outside world came from the perfect family sitcoms they watched on TV during their childhood; all that remained was war, ruins, and the hatred that Hydra had instilled in Sokovia.
This lack of information was one of the reasons why Wanda and Pietro later harbored hatred towards the Avengers.
"It seems this isn't so easy to do."
If you were to ask Ji Yuan why he didn't just go to Sokovia and take Wanda and Pietro away...
Actually, when Gu Yi first mentioned that Wanda needed help, Ji Yuan was ready to do so, but Gu Yi said that it would have the opposite effect.
Wanda's inner darkness stems not only from Sithon, but also from those painful and unbearable childhood memories, and from the experience of constantly fleeing for survival since the start of the war.
Therefore, it is not possible to directly and crudely use Ultra Healing Light for treatment, as this may cause some adverse effects.
According to the Ancient One, Wanda needed to yearn for the light first before the light could purify the darkness in her heart.
Ji Yuan expressed his understanding of this.
It is important to know that the essence of Wanda's Chaos Magic lies in the Chaos Force, one of the three primal forces, which possesses a range of abilities including altering reality, distorting probability, intervening in fate, manipulating dimensions, controlling energy, controlling the mind, dominating the spirit, and extracting souls.
Ji Yuan's Ultra Healing Light is originally a power that works on the mind to lead to goodness. If he were to use it rashly on Wanda, who possesses chaos magic, it might be detected, and then cause an even greater reaction because of Wanda's already unstable mind.
Marvel's power levels are sometimes ridiculous. An ordinary person might suddenly gain the power to destroy a city after a power surge, not to mention the possibility of triggering a riot of Wanda's chaos magic. At that point, he would truly become a superhuman.
"Jarvis, donate food, clothing, medicine and other supplies to Sokovia. Hmm... use my money. As for the name of the donor, let's call him the Messenger of Light."
"Yes, sir, I'll make the arrangements right away."
This is the benefit of having a super intelligent AI butler, and one that is also a super AI with its own personality.
As long as Ji Yuan gives the order, Jarvis will execute it according to the most perfect plan under the current circumstances, and he will also handle the interpersonal relationships and other such matters in the best way, just like a real person, or even better.
Of course, this is limited to online platforms only.
There's no good way right now, so we can only send some supplies to subtly change Wanda's perception of the world. When the time is right, Ji Yuan will try to contact Wanda.
Faced with such a "time bomb," he had no choice but to be cautious. All he could do now was provide them with enough food and shelter.
After doing all this and having Jarvis keep an eye on Sokovia's changes, Ji Yuan returned to Hell's Kitchen. He would keep a low profile for now and wait until the compensation was in place before going directly to Fury for the money.
Time quickly came to eight o'clock in the evening. After having dinner, Ji Yuan disappeared from Hell's Kitchen and headed towards Fury's location.
At this moment, Fury sat on the leather sofa, with a kind of joy after a great victory.
"Knock knock knock!"
The sudden knocking on the door made him tense up. This was his secret safe house, and no one knew about it!
Fury got up, picked up the pistol that was stuck to the side of the sofa and the flashbang from the drawer, and slowly moved to the defensive structure next to him.
There is a red button on the side; this is the switch to open the gate. Press it gently.
"Snap!"
The moment the lock opened and the door swung open, Fury hurled the powerful flashbang in his hand, which flew precisely through the crack in the door and landed at the feet of the unknown enemy.
Fury hid behind the defensive structure, quietly waiting for the flashbang to explode.
"It didn't explode?"
Fury was puzzled, but dared not look out, and immediately prepared to leave through the tunnel in the defensive facility.
Turning my head, I met a pair of eyes that were full of mockery.
Even Fury, a veteran of countless battles and highly experienced, couldn't help but shudder.
"Mare Fakr! It's you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Ji Yuan said jokingly, toying with the high-intensity flashbang.
"Weren't you dead?" Fury showed no panic, exuding confidence that everything was under control.
"Yes, yes, I'm dead. I'm here to claim my compensation and damages. Otherwise, even hell won't accept me. These days, hell is filled with the smell of money." Ji Yuan said as he sat down on the sofa with an air of arrogance, as if he had switched places with the host.
Fury wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still feeling lingering fear, and his sense of mystery surrounding Ji Yuan increased several orders of magnitude.
"What compensation?" Fury asked, feigning nonchalance.
"Don't tell me you didn't extort some compensation from General Ross. I advise you to give it to me quickly," Ji Yuan said with a smile.
Fury, with his only remaining eyeball, rolled his eyes and said without changing his expression, "Okay, Ross has paid you ten million dollars in compensation this time. I'll transfer it to you in a bit."
Ji Yuan listened to Fury's nonsense, then smiled with his eyes closed: "Fury, I advise you to be more sincere and not so greedy, otherwise this old mage will give you some unusual experiences."
Fury's expression changed, and he said sincerely, "Okay, actually it's twenty million. You know, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s finances have always been a bit tight, I..."
"Mare Fakr, I'll give you everything, I'll give you everything, please don't do this!!!"
Fury felt like something was growing out of his head.
