Chapter 257 Scarlet Witch's Melancholy
As the necromancy ceremony progressed, a gust of wind blew in the closed hall.
One hundred and eight candle lights flickered and all rushed towards Gu Yi.
Gu Yi kept chanting, and Bruce stood aside, hearing rustling whispers in his ears.
It was as if countless people were standing in the darkness of the candlelight, staring at them with all kinds of thoughts in their minds.
Bruce always thought it was his illusion.
It was not until the shadow in the corner suddenly spread out and attacked the candlelight that he realized that the whispers he heard in his ears might be someone really talking.
Ancient One casually waved his hand to shatter the attacking shadow, and then continued the ritual as if nothing had happened.
Similar things happened more than once later, but the situation was under control.
Finally, after many failures, Ancient One finally found his target among countless floating souls.
Countless fluorescent lights and data streams appeared before his eyes, slowly converging and eventually condensing into a human shape.
The translucent Tony Stark lay in mid-air, eyes closed, in deep sleep.
"what?"
Ancient One discovered something was wrong, "His soul seems a little strange."
"What's wrong?" Bruce asked.
"Stark's soul is in a very complex state, a bit like an electronic ghost."
This description is somewhat abstract, and it is obvious that Ancient One does not understand what is going on with Tony Stark's current condition.
She just felt that there was an algorithm composed of data streams in Tony's soul.
The composition of this algorithm will not only not affect Tony's original personality and thinking, but will also enable him to gain new abilities and integrate with the network and data.
The spirit ascends, this is the most appropriate description that Gu Yi can think of.
How could this be?
Ancient One pulled Tony's soul closer, and after observing it carefully, he finally saw a line of small words on his chest.
That line of small words was composed of data streams and would not last long and would soon disappear.
"Tony, you will always make me proud."
The text is not long, but the meaning is self-evident.
"It sounds like an elder's tone." Bruce frowned, "Could it be Howard?"
Could it be that when Tony was in trouble, Howard was also by his side, and at the critical moment he created an algorithm and used data flow to save the child's soul?
Bruce didn't dare to draw any conclusions. He could only wait until Tony woke up to find out everything.
Ancient One opened a portal, and across from it was the hospital where Tony's body was. She pushed Tony's soul over, close to his original body, and the two quickly merged into one.
"He will probably be asleep for a while." Ancient One said, "Not long, maybe a week or two."
Now, she has completed what Bruce asked her to do.
Then Ancient One turned around, looked at Bruce, and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
What he was planning to do was definitely to destroy all of the Horcruxes of the reincarnated bat.
Bruce didn't intend to hide it and was ready to explain it directly, but when the words came to his lips, he saw the look in Ancient One's eyes, which seemed to indicate that he should think it over before speaking.
He tilted his head slightly and saw Wanda standing next to him, staring at Tony Stark with complicated eyes.
No one knows exactly what he is thinking.
Then Bruce realized something important.
Hydra has been exposed to SHIELD before, so can these Hydra orphans still return to New York?
"I suggest you stop all your plans and go to another world."
Ancient One's voice appeared in Bruce's ears, vague and ethereal, just like the usual telepathic communication between Katoom and him.
Only Bruce and Ancient One could hear the following conversation.
"Why?" Bruce said, "Master Ancient One, you may not understand that the current situation is not optimistic..."
“Actually, I kind of understand.”
Ancient One interrupted him, "I don't know if you believe it or not, but I have the ability to observe the future and see many things that you cannot see.
"Now I want to remind you that if you don't leave this world for a while, you may never be able to leave again in the future."
Can't leave?
Bruce was a little confused.
"I see your fate line, and its movement is a little strange." Ancient One said, "If you stay a little longer, your fate will be completely bound to this world."
"what?"
Bruce frowned. This was the first time he heard of such a situation.
He looked at Katum, and the silly bird didn't seem to realize that this was happening.
"Is it because of the demon totem?" Bruce thought of a possibility.
"That's part of the reason, but more importantly, there's a little girl who can't control her own power yet and starts to want to stay with you forever. But luckily it's just a sign that can be extinguished with a little pinch."
Gu Yi looked at Wanda with tenderness, who was not friendly to her.
"Fate has given this child unlimited favor, allowing her to possess abilities that are almost unlimited."
Ancient One said, "But on the other hand, uncontrollable chaos magic will become a curse that haunts her for the rest of her life."
In short, after the previous critical breakthrough battle, the chaos magic that Wanda possesses now is no longer the same.
If she fails to master it in time, she will become a headache for the entire universe.
By then, the chaotic magic that she inadvertently released could easily change reality, and some of Wanda's wild ideas could also come true uncontrollably.
Turning Bruce into a Marvel native was just a matter of thought.
"Bruce, my advice to you is to continue your journey and leave this world for a while."
The Ancient One said, "Leave Wanda in Kamar-Taj. I will teach her how to control her power. When you come back after a while, there shouldn't be any risk."
That's it...
Bruce lowered his head and thought for a while. He certainly felt that now was not the time to leave. The right thing to do was to take advantage of the victory and destroy all the Horcruxes.
But the risks that Gu Yi reminded us of cannot be ignored.
"Bruce, don't think too much."
Ancient One reached out and stuffed something hard into Bruce's hand.
Bruce opened his hand and saw a chess piece, a knight in chess.
"This is an anchor I made, positioned at Kamar-Taj."
Ancient One said, "You can come back anytime through this anchor point, there is no limit on its use."
Bruce felt Ancient One's good intentions and felt that he had considered everything for him.
"alright."
In the end, Bruce sighed helplessly. It seemed that going to another world temporarily was the best option.
Anyway, I can come back anytime, so it doesn’t affect anything.
……
After returning to the room, Bruce relayed the conversation to Katum.
The owl's eyes rolled and he blurted out some heart-piercing words.
"I think Ancient One is lying to you."
He said, "Maybe this old woman just wants to get rid of you."
"It doesn't matter whether it is or not." Bruce thought very openly. He showed the chess piece to Katum, "At least this anchor point is really useful."
He had tried to use it once just now. Even in the Tunnel of Heavens, he could use this chess piece to teleport back to Kamar-Taj.
This way, even in another world, the remaining problems here can be solved. "If I continue to stay here, I'm afraid I will have to start a family and a career here."
Bruce shook his head. "I'm still a child. I can't even think about this kind of thing, not even if there's a one in ten thousand chance!"
Katoom gave a thumbs-up with his wings, "Good boy, your humanity has really reached its limit!"
"I just thought you were complimenting me."
Bruce said this indifferently, then opened the door and walked out.
About ten minutes later, he came back.
"I just told Wanda about this." Bruce said, "She didn't show any intention of keeping me and told me to get out of here."
"What did you tell her?" Katum asked.
"Just say it directly." Bruce sat down on the bed, "I said I have something to do and I have to leave for a while, but I can come back anytime. If she can't bear to leave me, just tell her. I understand."
"Is that what you said?"
"Exactly." Bruce nodded.
"Cattle."
Katum was speechless. Bruce really mastered the art of language.
Now that he had decided to leave, Bruce had no intention of staying any longer.
"Next, go back to Hogwarts and solve the paradox bat."
Bruce pulled out a red rag from his pocket, "And we also have to deal with this invaded DC world."
"Then we have to travel between the two worlds."
Katum said, "Plus the occasional return to Marvel, I'm afraid I'll be busy."
"It's okay. There's nothing to worry about."
Bruce finished speaking and exchanged a glance with Katum, and then the tunnel of heavens opened in the room, and the figures of the man and the bird disappeared.
……
A few hours later, Wanda walked out of the room and Ancient One was waiting for her at the door.
"From now on you will be my apprentice." Ancient One said with a smile, "Just live in Kamar-Taj and treat this place as your home."
"Thank you, Master Ancient One."
Wanda bowed her head, looking absent-minded.
"Are you thinking about something?" Gu Yi asked.
"Nothing." Wanda shook her head.
Due to the chaos magic in her body, she naturally has no good feelings towards the Supreme Sorcerer of the Vishandi lineage.
But Ancient One behaved properly, his words and actions were full of respect for Wanda, and the smile on his face always subtly eliminated Wanda's resistance.
"Come on, Wanda, I'll take you to meet your fellow apprentices."
Ancient One took Wanda's hand.
The little girl shrank subconsciously, but Gu Yi held her firmly and didn't let her break free.
Ancient One walked forward with Wanda, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Actually, I know what you are thinking, don't worry."
"I don't think of anything."
Wanda was still stubborn, "My heart is as cold as ice now, and I don't have anything to worry about."
"How could that be!" Gu Yi smiled, "Aren't you worried about your brother?"
This sentence reminded Wanda that she seemed to have a younger brother.
"Yes!" she nodded firmly, "I'm just worried about Pietro!"
Worried about Pietro, of course.
Otherwise, who else should I worry about?
……
In the Tunnel of the Heavens, Katum grabbed Bruce's shoulders and flew forward at high speed.
Soon, they arrived near Harry's world.
A magnificent scene appeared before them.
Harry's world seemed to be frozen, motionless, while on the other side, two huge universes were slowly moving closer to this side.
There is an inevitable connection between the three worlds.
The celestial conjunction has already happened.
"What world are these two in?"
Katoom took Bruce closer to the other two worlds for a closer look.
One of the worlds was shrouded in layers of fog, and even if you looked closely, you couldn't see its true appearance.
"Strange, this shouldn't be the case." Katum wondered, "How can the world be like this, full of fog and so mysterious?"
There was no sound at all, it was so quiet.
Ten or even nine points are wrong.
"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Bruce came up with a bad idea.
Katum shook his head like a rattle instantly: "No, no, no, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. Don't go in casually. Let me investigate later."
Then he turned his attention to another world.
The other world was much more normal. Bruce could even clearly see the blue planet at the center of the universe and the seven continents and five oceans on it.
Isn't this the earth?
Katum stuck his head into that world and pulled it out after a moment.
"How is it? Is it a dangerous world?" Bruce couldn't help but ask.
He is indeed concerned about this. After all, it is the intersection of different worlds and the impact range is too huge.
"Not sure, let's see again."
After saying that, Katum put his head in again, and after a long time, he suddenly shouted.
"Fuck!"
The owl's head was pulled out, its eyes wide open, "The world of evil power!"
"Evil power?" Bruce also became excited. "How evil is it?"
"That was not what I meant!"
Katum was a little helpless, he didn't know where to start explaining.
After all, "Supernatural" is an American TV series with fifteen seasons!
It mainly tells the story of two brothers traveling around the United States, investigating incredible events and fighting supernatural forces.
The series uses religious mythology as the main thread, connecting folk tales and urban legends from all over the United States, such as ghosts, vampires, werewolves and other supernatural creatures.
This is the key.
In the Harry Potter world, although magic exists, the magical society and the Muggle society basically do not interfere with each other.
Those powerful magical creatures were also kept very secret.
But it's different now.
The world of "Supernatural" and the world of "Harry Potter" intersect and merge, and all kinds of supernatural creatures enter. They don't follow the rules of the wizarding world and are bound to cause a lot of trouble, sparking countless folk legends in human society.
And the timelines of the two worlds are aligned. It is 1994, while the main storyline of "Supernatural" only begins in 2005.
In other words, there is no hope for the protagonists of the original drama, as their stories have not even begun.
“I can pretty much guess what’s going to happen.”
Katum sighed and said, "Demons, ghosts, vampires... these supernatural creatures have appeared in large numbers in the Muggle world, and wizards have a lot to do."
