Ch: 164-172
Chapter 164 Wanda and Pietro
The person who holds this card is an absolute VIP at Citibank.
Whether he wants to reach for the moon or dive into the sea to catch a whale, as long as it's within human reach, Citibank will serve wholeheartedly and try its best to satisfy him.
When it appears, most doors in the U.S. will open for the holder.
From political resources to daily shopping and school admissions, almost all problems can be easily resolved.
But it was this black card, representing "distinguished status," that the chestnut-haired girl, staring intently at Tony, unhesitatingly threw at... Leon's face.
Of course, Leon didn't let it actually hit his face, but instead caught the black card between his fingers.
The brother beside the girl's mouth twitched slightly, his suppressed expression almost breaking, seemingly feeling a pang of heartache.
But the girl's gaze was like a knife, without a hint of regret, shifting her attention temporarily from Tonyto glare at Leon.
For some reason, Leon felt the girl at this moment was putting on a brave front.
But her tone was firm: "The money is returned to you!"
"We will find out the truth of that year ourselves. Don't think that by blaming a dead person, we will believe it like fools!"
"Even if you are Superman, we will not yield, and we do not want your Stark's stinking money!"
Leon suddenly realized that they weren't here for revenge, but to return the money.
He looked at the bank card in his hand; the golden patterns on the card body were extremely dazzling in the sunlight.
He hadn't expected Natasha's service to be so thoughtful.
While giving the money, she also conveniently arranged a black card for the siblings.
However, why did this scene inexplicably give him a sense of deja vu, like Wanda saying to him, "My name is not 'Hey,' my name is Chu Yuxun"?
The girl finished speaking and then looked at Tony: "Tony Stark, even if those bombs were indeed sold by Obadiah, you are not innocent! You manufactured them; you are just as much an executioner!"
The girl's brother at this point seemed to finally recover from the shock of losing a large sum of money.
He also nodded, looking at Tony with piercing eyes: "This matter is not over."
After speaking, the two retreated step by step, gazing at Tony, as if telling him how firm their sibling determination was.
"Both of you." Tony suddenly spoke, calling out to them.
Under the wary gazes of the siblings, he slowly began.
"I am very sorry for what you have experienced, and I also regret some of my past thoughts and actions."
"I have been trying my best to make amends for the mistakes I made in the past."
"Perhaps you are unwilling to accept compensation, but this is actually the best outcome."
Tony handed the black card from Leon's hand to them: "Take it back. You need it."
But the siblings did not take it.
Their gazes, instead, grew colder.
"Do you think money can make up for everything?" Pietro suddenly said.
"Just nine years ago, that one night!"
"We were watching The Dick Van Dyke Show on the sofa. Everyone was happy; it was supposed to be a warm night! But suddenly, bombs came in! The whole building was collapsing! I dragged Wanda under the bed; by then, Mom and Dad were already dead. But then came the second bomb! It was three feet away from us. It said... Stark! That bomb never exploded. We looked at the words Stark. Every second we thought would be our last."
Wanda, with red-rimmed eyes, took over: "That bomb, with its at any time possible explosive powder, enveloped us for two whole days."
"We hid under the bed, waiting for you to kill us, and we waited for two days."
"Someone tried to rescue us, but with every brick moved from the ruins, I thought, that bomb is definitely going to explode."
Pietro interrupted again: "Tony Stark, perhaps you are used to atoning with money, but the sin you owe us is not among them!"
He took a photo from his embrace.
It showed a family of four, with a very young Pietro and Wanda, and their parents.
"I don't understand grand principles; I only have this one very small photo."
He held up the photo, "Besides this photo, we have nothing left!"
"We will not forgive you." Wanda said.
"But Superman saved Sokovia, we owe him one, so we will investigate the truth."
After speaking, the siblings turned and left.
Tony did not try to persuade them this time.
He initially thought that this pair of siblings had completely attributed their parents' hatred to him.
He thought they were young and wouldn't consider that the true culprits were the forces that used the weapons, not the ones who created them.
But he hadn't expected it.
The siblings were trapped for two days by a bomb spray-painted with the "Stark" mark.
They had also been trembling and walking on thin ice for two days.
Under that fear of being pushed to the brink of Death, no one could remain rational, and no one could avoid hating the name written on the mark.
The siblings' past was like a heavy boulder pressing on Tony's heart.
He didn't plan to stop this pair of siblings anymore; some things truly cannot be compensated for with material possessions alone.
"Wait a moment, both of you." But Leon called out to them again.
The siblings were visibly a bit impatient.
But upon turning and seeing Leon, their impatience instantly vanished by more than half.
"...What do you want to do?" Wanda pursed her lips.
Actually, from the very beginning, the siblings had deliberately ignored Leon.
Normally, Leon was also a Stark, also their enemy.
However, Leon was not only a Stark, he was also Superman.
Two months ago.
When Superman held up the aircraft carrier and saved Sokovia, the siblings were in a Base not far away.
At that time, their hearts were like dead ashes.
They had originally joined HYDRA to take revenge on Stark.
Who would have thought that HYDRA completely disregarded their lives, actually planning to detonate a nuclear bomb in Sokovia, abandoning them to be buried there with their homeland.
At that moment, the only thing in their hearts was endless despair and regret.
Amidst despair.
Finally, it was Superman who first withstood the nuclear bomb in Warsaw.
And then moved the aircraft carrier above Sokovia (Iron Man, on the other hand, seemed to be causing trouble).
Only then did he save them and their hometown.
Like the city's residents at the time, Wanda and Pietro, in the HYDRA Base, watched the departing aircraft carrier, equally excited and cheering, with tears of survival streaming down their faces.
Even before they knew Leon was Superman.
Pietro only had two photos in his embrace: one was a childhood family photo, and the other was of Superman, whose face was unclear.
However, now... at least now Pietro didn't have the Superman photo with him.
After all, Superman had X-ray vision, and he didn't want Leon to see that photo.
Combining various factors, the siblings' feelings towards Leon were very complex.
There was gratitude, and also resentment.
So much so that they both deliberately ignored him.
Until Leon spoke.
"I can understand you, Wanda, and Pietro."
The siblings were stunned: "You know our names?"
"Of course, good names are easy to remember, aren't they?"
Upon hearing this, the siblings were momentarily at a loss, and Pietro even felt a faint thrill in his heart.
Superman actually said his name was good!
Leon said: "I can understand you."
"Actually, I also had my revenge, and my enemy was HYDRA."
"When I was one year old, HYDRA's Winter Soldier killed my adoptive parents and almost strangled me to Death."
"So I chose revenge, killed all of HYDRA, and then blew up the Winter Soldier's head."
"And now, there are no more HYDRA people on this Earth."
The siblings' hearts skipped a beat, and they looked at Leon in a daze: "You, what do you want to say?"
They suddenly remembered that they were also HYDRA.
"I want to say, if you want revenge, don't hold back, but also be prepared to be counter-killed if you fail."
Leon said, "As long as I make a move, normally I won't hold back."
After speaking, his eyes glowed with a faint red light.
No one could remain calm when stared at by Superman with scarlet eyes.
Almost in an instant, the Shadow of Death descended upon the siblings' hearts.
Pietro's breathing trembled slightly: "Wait, wait a moment, we haven't done anything yet!"
Cold sweat seeped from Wanda's back: "Actually, I, we still need to investigate first, only then..."
She suddenly regretted specifically coming to find Leon today.
—Originally, it was to return the credit card, but seeing Tony Stark present, she couldn't help but vent her emotions.
Now that she thought about it, it was utterly foolish.
The Superman of the Stark family wasn't like the Superman in comics; how could he let them threaten his brother.
Wanda tried to step forward to shield Pietro.
But looking into Leon's eyes, an infinite fear rose in her heart, making her unable to move.
"I, we..."
Wanda tried to explain a few words, her voice almost on the verge of tears.
But suddenly, Leon disappeared from her sight, and at the same time, a pair of hands rested on her and Pietro's shoulders respectively.
Wanda was so startled that all the hairs on her body stood up, almost screaming out loud.
"Why so nervous? What I actually want to say is, precisely because all of this was indeed done by Obadiah, and has nothing to do with Tony or us, that's why I can rest assured and let you investigate."
Wanda turned her head, Leon's smile was close at hand.
"The money given to you isn't atonement, but a genuine apology."
"However, if you want to investigate the truth, the simplest way is actually to enter Stark Industries."
"How about following me and Tony from now on? After close contact, it will be easier to find the answers you want, won't it?"
Wanda and Pietro looked at Leon in a daze.
His fair face was bathed in sunlight, smiling, with no trace of the murderous aura from before.
Instead, he looked like a friendly older brother asking them if they wanted to go fishing today.
"Huh??" The siblings completely lost their ability to think.
Chapter 165 Sea of Blood
The chilling sensation gradually receded, and the sunlight seemed to return to them.
But Wanda and Pietro's minds were still blank.
The near-Death suffocating feeling just now was real.
But the friendly smile before them was also real.
They couldn't distinguish which one was the real Li Ang.
Perhaps this is Superman; a single thought can plunge ordinary people from heaven to hell, or lift them from hell back to heaven.
Li Ang patted their shoulders with a smile.
He actually didn't have a trace of killing intent; he merely radiated a subtle amount of willpower.
With his World Master peak level of willpower, a single glance was enough to cause brain Death in anyone below the Stellar level in the Starry Sky World.
The siblings merely experienced the sensation of facing Death, which was already the result of his extreme restraint of power.
After all, what he wanted was for them to calm down.
And to carefully consider the consequences before speaking again.
Now it seemed the effect was undoubtedly excellent.
Wanda and Pietro looked at him with both fear and reverence, and even a strange sense of closeness, as if they had Stockholm Syndrome.
"It's settled then; Jarvis will arrange work for you later."
"Anything you want to know, anything you want to investigate, you can all check within Stark Industries."
"And!" Li Ang stuffed the black card back into Pietro's hand.
"Keep this card; the money in it is not to trample on your dignity and past suffering, but a show of respect and reward for your courage in facing adversity."
"But…" Wanda still hesitated.
"But what?" Red light gleamed in Li Ang's eyes again.
"No, nothing!" Wanda's struggling heart instantly calmed, and she quickly took the black card, standing at attention like a primary school student.
"Very good; if you have any needs in the future, you can find Jarvis online and tell him; he will solve everything."
Li Ang waved his hand: "Go home now; don't talk about revenge without being prepared in the future. You deserve a better future; don't let hatred blind your eyes."
Li Ang admitted he was a bit hypocritical.
He himself was always willing to kill the wrong person rather than let a single one go when taking revenge.
Yet now, when lecturing, he was perfectly articulate.
But reality is like this: whoever holds power has the right to speak.
The current Wanda is not yet the future Scarlet Witch; her abilities haven't even fully awakened yet.
If it were the overpowered Wanda from the comics, Li Ang might consider it.
Either directly moving his entire family to another World.
Or running off to Resident Evil to cultivate in seclusion for tens of thousands of years before returning.
After all, Chaos Magic, which can directly modify reality, is simply unreasonable.
The morning sun was still warm.
However, while Pietro and his sister arrived with a fierce demeanor, they left obediently.
Although neither side explicitly stated what would happen to this so-called hatred in the future.
Everyone understood.
The siblings were both people of integrity.
Although their minds might not be entirely clear.
But since they truly accepted the black card, it was impossible for them to continue seeking revenge.
Moreover, this revenge couldn't actually be anchored to Tony.
Li Ang shrugged at Tony, giving him a look: See, I've solved another big problem for you.
Tony returned a roll of his eyes so extreme they almost disappeared behind his head: Thank you very much.
…
Two more days passed.
Events unfolded somewhat unexpectedly for Li Ang.
The day after Wanda and Pietro left, they actually followed Jarvis's arrangements and reported to the Avengers.
But they didn't stay there for work.
It was said that Tony talked with them for a long time in his office that day.
Li Ang didn't know if they had let bygones be bygones or if it was a banquet to relinquish their "military power."
In any case, that afternoon, the siblings were arranged by Tony to attend Columbia University.
Wanda entered the Business School, from which Li Ang had just graduated, while Pietro entered the Sports program.
Li Ang maliciously speculated that Tony must have thought their education level was too low and their minds too stubborn, which was why he arranged it this way.
After all, the siblings hadn't received any education since they were ten years old.
Many of their ideas had a kind of incomplete beauty, untouched by the baptism of knowledge.
But none of that mattered anymore.
Because today.
It was time for Li Ang's Blood Sea Clone to be born!
…
Within the Inner World.
The Space Stone's energy filled every corner of the visible area.
In a World with a diameter of 900,000 kilometers, the sky was blue, and the earth was also blue.
Seemingly endless cerulean energy surged madly towards the crimson giant egg in the high sky.
That giant egg was one hundred kilometers tall.
Li Ang's consciousness watched this scene.
Soon, he saw cracks appearing on the eggshell, and the cracks gradually widened.
Cracking and shattering sounds echoed through the heavens and earth, as if the sky was tearing open a large mouth.
The cracks grew larger and denser.
When they reached a certain limit, the entire eggshell suddenly shattered, turning into sand-like fragments that fell towards the earth, overwhelming everything like a vast ocean pouring down from the sky.
From within the crimson sea of fragments, a giant ten thousand meters tall stood forth.
At the same time, Li Ang's perspective automatically split into two.
In one part of his perspective, the naked giant gradually became clear amidst the sky-filling blood-red eggshell fragments.
In the other part of his perspective, it was the giant's view, suspended ten thousand zhang deep in the sky, looking down on everything in the World.
The Blood Sea Clone was complete!
Li Ang's soul was still residing within the Original Nucleus.
But his consciousness naturally split into two, simultaneously controlling his main body and the clone.
It was as if he was born to have two perspectives, born to be able to multitask.
"What a wondrous feeling."
Li Ang controlled the giant to raise its hand.
No, it couldn't be called control.
This was his own body; as soon as his thought arose, the arm naturally lifted.
This was an arm forty kilometers long.
Its skin tone was similar to that of humans, flawless like white jade, with faint blood-red veins showing beneath the skin, giving it an eerie and beautiful appearance.
Li Ang touched himself; the several-kilometer-sized abdominal and pectoral muscles made him extremely satisfied.
If there was any regret.
It was probably that, in his other conscious perspective.
This Blood Sea Clone was bald, and completely smooth all over.
It was practically like an unclothed human model from a painter's brush.
And.
Li Ang reached down and felt, his expression strange.
It was reasonable for special life forms not to reproduce, hence having no secondary sexual characteristics.
However, the clone's lower body was surprisingly smooth as a mirror…
Well, now it had become a human model from a 3D artist's hands.
Except for the humanoid shape, there was nothing else.
But none of that mattered.
What Li Ang truly cared about was the clone's talent.
The Blood Sea Clone's gene multiple was 300 times, slightly higher than his main body.
It had two innate abilities: "Oceanification" and "Creation."
"Oceanification" allowed the clone to transform from a giant into an ocean with a diameter ten times its own height.
Currently, the Blood Sea Clone was one hundred kilometers tall, so the resulting Blood Sea would have a diameter of one thousand kilometers.
"Creation" allowed the clone, in its Oceanification state, to use energy to create life.
The created life forms would be absolutely subservient to Li Ang, their creator.
However, no matter what kind of life he wished to create, Li Ang needed to have a complete understanding of that species' genetic information.
Based on his current research into genes.
For now, he could only create some low-level organisms.
Chapter 166 Another Breakthrough
However, the true power of the creation ability is that it allows Leon to create a small Blood Sea Clonebased on his own genes.
This small Blood Sea Clone has only one-tenth of the genetic level and height of the original.
But it can dissolve itself after the Blood Sea is refilled with energy, allowing its energy to return to the Blood Sea, thereby expanding the Blood Sea's volume.
At the same time, because the creation of the small Blood Sea Clone has almost no cost, Leon can even use it as a consumable self-destructing tool.
On the boundless earth, "Transform into Sea!"
Leon's mind moved, and the Blood Sea Clone's huge body suddenly dissolved.
His flesh and bones flowed down his body like rivers.
Finally, his entire body transformed into a Blood Sea with a diameter of one thousand kilometers on the boundless earth, just like Kuafu's body turning into a mountain and his staff into a peach forest in mythology.
"Create!" Leon continued to research.
The Blood Sea flowed with a rushing sound.
A small giant, ten kilometers tall, with a genetic level of only 30 times, emerged from the sea.
At the same time, the Blood Sea lost about one-tenth of its energy.
"Restore!" Leon immediately activated the Space Stone to replenish the lost energy of the Blood Sea.
"Dissolve!"
The small Blood Sea Clone dissolved under Leon's control, its entire body turning into seawater and returning to the Blood Sea.
Thus, the Blood Sea's volume immediately increased by one-tenth.
This back-and-forth process only needs to be repeated a few more times, and the Blood Sea can continuously grow larger.
"Very good, once the Blood Sea gets larger and larger, it can serve as my mobile armory for battle!"
The Blood Sea can also serve as a backup energy source to restore Leon's energy at any time.
However, for Leon, who carries a hundred thousand Suns with him, this backup energy is not yet needed for now.
"For now, there's no rush to expand the Blood Sea; the Blood Sea Clone is only at Cosmic level first-order, so let's focus on increasing its strength first."
Leon felt his flowing body at this moment.
He had no eyes, but he could "see" everything around the Blood Sea.
"Restore to original body!" He activated his ability, and the vast Blood Sea immediately flowed with a rushing sound.
The extra one-tenth of energy dissipated into the space of his inner World.
The hundred-kilometer-tall giant stood up from the ground again.
And on the ground, the Blood Sea, which had just been tumultuous with waves, had not a single drop of water left.
Leon patted his arm: "I've returned to solid form; becoming Water just now was quite interesting."
"Now, it's time to cultivate!"
The tall giant sat on a hill, as if on a small stool, and began to frantically absorb the energy surging from the Space Stone.
The azure energy once again permeated the air.
At the same time, the green light from the Time Stone's operation flickered in the spatial interlayer.
Ten thousand days in the inner World, ten days in the real World.
The Blood Sea Clone successfully broke through to the same realm as the main body, Domain Lordninth-order.
While the clone was gestating, the energy dissipated by the Space Stone also integrated into the inner World and Leon's body.
With the hundred thousand Suns in the World Ring and the blessing of this portion of energy, Leon's main body successfully reached Domain Lord ninth-order.
As long as there is no external interference, Leon can completely continue to cultivate.
After all, continuous improvement and strengthening of his power is his constant goal.
Moreover, the comfortable feeling during the process of improving his strength is much more satisfying than racking his brain to solve a mathematical problem, making it irresistible.
"It's time to break through to Domain Lord."
Leon's main body in the Brooklyn apartment stood up, then suddenly disappeared, appearing in outer space.
This was not teleportation, but high-speed movement.
Crossing a three-hundred-kilometer ground-to-space distance took him less than a millisecond.
He turned his head and flew towards the Moon, intending to break through to Domain Lord there.
He had been stuck at Domain Lord ninth-order for "a long time" waiting for the clone to gestate so they could break through together.
However, this time being stuck at this level led to an unexpected discovery.
—Although the intensity of his genetic primal energy and psychic power could not increase due to being stuck at this level, during this period, the strength of his body could still continuously increase under the Sun's illumination!
Moreover, the speed of this strengthening was even the same as the speed at which his genetic primal energy strengthened after he reached Domain Lord ninth-order.
After research, Leon concluded: "Although I have switched to the Starry Sky System, the Kryptonian Bloodline's strengthening through bathing in the Sun will not be limited by this System."
"Even if my realm is stuck, my body can still continue to strengthen under the Sun."
"Currently, my power is actually almost on par with Domain Lord second-order."
"I believe that after breaking through to Domain Lord, this strengthened portion of power will quickly transform into the power of the Starry Sky System."
In a way, Leon is currently cultivating both the Kryptonian System and the Starry Sky System.
The two Systems promote each other, achieving a 1+1 > 2 effect.
The genetic evolution of the Starry Sky System can drive the transformation of his Kryptonian Bloodline.
And the Kryptonian Bloodline, in turn, can feedback the growth of his Starry Sky System power.
Leon sat down cross-legged on the Moon.
In his inner World, the vast Blood Sea Clone also sat on a hill.
Both bodies began to break through simultaneously.
In the inner World, the boundless continent began to frantically absorb the energy of the Space Stone.
Large amounts of golden light floated in the air, like a mystical realm from a dream.
Under the seemingly endless gem energy, the 900,000-kilometer-diameter World began to expand.
On the land, towering mountains rose into the clouds, and vast rivers coursed through the mountains.
Signs of life began to appear here.
The World power contained within the entire World became increasingly pure.
For others, breaking through to Domain Lord requires opening up an inner World.
But Leon already had an inner World.
His breakthrough this time was completely unhindered.
All he needed to do was to transform his existing inner World into a true World capable of giving birth to life.
A day slowly passed.
When Leon on the Moon stood up again, he had already broken through to Domain Lord second-order.
At the same time, the Blood Sea Clone in his inner World also broke through to Domain Lord, its height increasing to ten thousand kilometers.
Leon observed the greatly changed inner World with his consciousness.
He planned to have the Blood Sea Clone transform into an ocean and remain in his inner World, using the two gems to comprehend Laws.
Meanwhile, his main body could remain in the outside World, continuing to strengthen with the help of the hundred thousand Suns.
"Currently, my main body's strength is roughly two thousand times what it was when I first returned from the Starry Sky World." Leon clenched his fist.
This is the superiority of the Starry Sky System in its early stages.
As long as energy is sufficient and Law comprehension meets the standards, one can rapidly grow stronger.
Of course, this is also thanks to the acceleration of the Time Stone and the energy supply of the Space Stone.
Otherwise, just giving birth to the Blood Sea Clone would have taken decades.
However, the progression after Domain Lord won't be as fast.
In the Starry Sky World, advancing from "Domain Lord" to the next stage of "Immortal" requires fully comprehending a lower-level Law.
The same applies in Marvel.
Although the Laws of the two Worlds are not entirely identical, for Leon, the conditions for breakthrough are similar.
Because the essence of the Starry Sky cultivation System is to understand the structure of the Universeand thereby create one's own World.
So, what Leon needs to do next is to comprehend the constituent elements of the Marvel Universe, which are the basic Laws.
These Laws are also easy to find.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe was formed by the explosion of six singularities containing infinite energy.
The essence of these six singularities was later refined into six Infinity Stones.
They represent the six most fundamental power attributes of the Marvel single Universe—Time, Space, Power, Reality, Mind, and Soul.
Leon had a premonition.
He only needs to fully comprehend one of these six basic powers to break through to Law Master.
If he comprehends two, he will be a Law Master.
If he comprehends all of them, Leon believes it should be enough for him to ascend to a realm beyond True God.
As for the path thereafter, it would naturally be to fuse the six basic powers and create his own Universe.
Of course, if he doesn't want to take this path later, that's perfectly fine.
The Kryptonian Bloodline already has a very high Upper limit; even if he doesn't break through realms, his strength can continue to increase.
However, before that, he must at least break through to Immortal and possess Eternity of life.
And to break through to Immortal, Leon still needs to comprehend a minor Law extended from the six major basic powers.
For example, the Law of Light he is currently primarily cultivating.
Chapter 167 Dormammu is late
"I've comprehended one-tenth of the Law of Light, and my progress in time and space is also quite good."
"Using the Laws, my speed can increase to nearly twice the Light Speed."
Leon clenched his fist, and immense power surged through every inch of his flesh and blood.
If before he could barely punch to blow up Earth.
Then now, he could already punch to blow up Jupiter.
The gap to the next stage, punching to destroy the Sun, was only about a thousand times or so.
"The diameter of my Inner World has now expanded to twenty million kilometers."
"However, Luo Feng's Inner World eventually reached a diameter of one trillion kilometers."
"I'm still far from that."
Leon looked at the desolate lunar surface around him.
Suddenly, an idea to test his strength arose.
The increase in his power made him eager to destroy something.
This was an inherent impulse that came with becoming stronger.
He first enveloped the Moon with his Bio-field.
Then he gently stomped his foot.
Immediately, the entire Moon, weighing a staggering seven hundred quintillion tons, vibrated violently.
It was as if it had been struck directly in the center by an extraterrestrial meteorite.
Huge cracks erupted from beneath Leon's feet, extending like a spiderweb to the horizon.
If one were to look at the Moon from space at that moment, they would find it riddled with holes, with visible cracks from its front to its back.
It was like a cookie dropped on the ground, seemingly intact, but it would shatter into pieces with a gentle lift.
Leon nodded with satisfaction.
If he didn't control his power now, and didn't use his Bio-field.
Then even his every move would carry destructive power capable of sinking continents.
"Feeling good." Leon gave himself a mental thumbs-up.
He suddenly thought of himself waking up in the manned spacecraft a few months ago.
His mood back then was similar to now.
The same surging excitement, and he even pushed open the spacecraft's hatch with one hand.
It was just that back then, he arrogantly believed he was already comparable to Odin and Captain Marvel.
But now, it seemed that only now was he truly comparable.
Hmm, Captain Marvel doesn't count.
Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't seem to have Planet-busting power even in Double Star Mode.
Perhaps it was because she couldn't perfectly unleash the surging power in Double Star Mode.
Of course, her potential was beyond doubt.
After all, in the 'What If…?' series.
Another Captain Marvel, also from the Movie Multiverse, did indeed shatter a Planet when fighting Six-Infinity Stone Ultron.
Suddenly, countless urgent calls and pleas reached Leon's ears.
The voices were so close, it was as if they were right beside his ear.
"Hmm? Someone on the Moon is calling for help. The people here… Wait, it's the Inhumans."
Leon paused.
He could hear the other side of the Moon.
Black Bolt and his wife, Medusa, were together directing civilians to evacuate.
Because the recent intense tremors on the Moon had destroyed large areas of their buildings…
"This is truly…" Leon hadn't paid attention to the Moon before.
The sounds reaching his ears from here were always ignored as noise.
So much so that he almost forgot there was a group of Inhumans with little presence on the Moon.
Therefore, when he tested his power, although he specifically isolated the Moon with his Bio-field to avoid affecting Earth, he directly ignored the people on the other side of the Moon.
Fortunately, all of this was not difficult to solve.
Leon had planned his clean-up method from the start.
He pointed a finger, "Restore to original state!"
The immense genetic primal energy within him instantly transformed into magic.
Releasing a Restore to Original State spell that enveloped the entire Moon.
In the blink of an eye, the spiderweb-like giant cracks beneath Leon's feet rapidly closed.
The Moon's surface and the Inhumans' city "Attilan" on the other side were all restored to their original state.
Listening to the Inhumans' voices, full of relief and bewilderment, coming from his ears.
Leon shook his head: "If I want to test my strength, I should use the Dream-Eater Arena in the Time Fortress, or go back and use the Mirror Dimension."
He looked towards Earth again, "It's time to go back. It's only been one day, nothing should have happened."
During his breakthrough, his mind was completely immersed in the evolution of his genes.
Unless Tony and others called out to him in an urgent tone.
Otherwise, all sounds heard by his super hearing would be automatically filtered out.
However, as soon as he released the restrictions on his hearing and listened to the myriad sounds on Earth, Leon's expression became strange.
"Wong and Mordo? Shouldn't they be teaching new magic? Why are they looking for me?"
Leon floated up, shot out of the Moon, and returned to Kamar-Taj in a flash.
He landed on the training ground, nodded to the sorcerers who bowed to him, and walked towards the inner hall on the other side.
"Are you holding a meeting?"
As soon as he entered the door.
Leon saw the Hogwarts Four Study Group gathered together.
Wong was having a holographic projection conversation with Tony, who was in New York.
Asking Tony if Leon had returned to Earth, why he couldn't be found using the Mystic Art of Portals, and if he might have gone to a parallel Universe.
Beside Wong, Mordo and Banner were sitting cross-legged.
Banner was wearing a sleeveless brownish-yellow training suit, looking like a yoga master.
Mordo's brows and eyes carried a hint of gloom.
"Leon! You're finally back!" Wong and Mordo heard the voice, turned around, and showed surprised expressions, "We couldn't find you with the Mystic Art of Portals!"
"Bio-field can block perception. Next time, you can try calling me a few more times."
"So, I only left for a day and even left a message, why are you so eager to find me?"
Leon habitually asked, "Could it be that a Dimensional Demon God has attacked?"
Unexpectedly, this time Wong said with a serious face: "No, but it's probably not far off!"
"Hmm?" Leon looked up in surprise, "Is it really coming?"
The news of Ancient One's Death had already spread to surrounding Dimensions on the day she was cremated.
But since then, Earth has not yet suffered any serious attacks.
At most, some Dimensional creatures would sneak in and then be quickly dealt with by the sorcerers.
As for Dimensional Demon Gods, not even a Shadow was seen.
Because they all knew very well.
As long as the three Sanctuaries set up by Agamotto did not fall, no Demon God could directly enter Earth in their true form.
Leon also understood this point.
So he actually only asked casually each time.
He didn't expect a surprise this time.
"Which Dimensional Demon God?"
"Dormammu!" Wong said with a serious face, "You should know him. He is the lord of the Dark Dimension. If he really enters Earth, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"But the three great Sanctuaries are still intact. How can he come?" Leon raised an eyebrow.
"It's like this…" Wong led Leon out of the house, intending to explain in detail along the way.
At this moment, Tony's projection anxiously chased two steps forward.
"No, are you just leaving? Finish what you're saying here. The Dimensional Demon God invasion is a global event, right? How can it be without my rescue?"
"You?" Wong looked back at Tony, frowning, "This matter is enough with Superman, Iron Man is not needed."
He had watched "Iron Man and Superman Origins" in the city two days ago and was suddenly very displeased with Tony for fabricating facts.
How could the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj cause a World-ending crisis in another World!
If it weren't for needing Tony's help to find Leon before.
He would have cursed at the projection, saying he had never seen such a shameless person!
Chapter 168 Leon: Let Casillas lure Dormammu out
Leon also shrugged: "Tony, you wait here and don't move for now. I'll come back and tell you what happened after the matter is resolved."
With that, the two walked out of the inner hall together.
Mordo also followed behind.
Tony's projection frantically shouted "Wait!" from where he was, but the backs of the three were so merciless.
"Tony, it's alright, I'll take you with me."
In the end, it was the gentlest Dr. Banner who picked up the communication device and followed with Tony's projection.
Wang led Leon into the library.
The first thing that caught their eyes was a familiar scene, with old bookshelves neatly arranged throughout the room.
Walking past the outer bookshelves,
a figure suspended upside down in the air appeared before them.
The person was dressed in a yellowish-brown robe, with dreadlocks hanging down from the back of his head.
His forehead veins bulged, his eyes were tightly closed, and his eye sockets were surrounded by fine black necrotic flesh, making him look as if he had applied heavy smoky eye makeup.
But Leon could tell that it was how he looked after being corroded by Dark Dimension energy.
He probably guessed who this person was.
"He is Kaecilius," Wang said the next second.
"Not long ago, he was the one who hung up the former librarian and cut off his head."
"Then he led some Master out of Kamar-Taj."
"He is very dangerous!"
Tony's projection stepped forward and examined him.
Even with his eyes tightly closed and unconscious, Kaecilius's face still carried an invisible indifference and gloom, like a venomous snake dormant in winter.
"I can tell this guy isn't a good person, but you said he's very dangerous, yet you subdued him. Are you boasting?" Tony said.
Wang shook his head with a solemn expression: "He underestimated us!"
"A few hours ago, Kaecilius led his subordinates to break into the London Sanctum.
He must have learned of the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One's Death.
So, after making ample preparations, he came knocking.
He wanted to destroy the Sanctum Sanctorum!"
Wang's face was grim, trying to convey how critical the situation was at the time.
"Fortunately, Tony helped improve our communication and alarm systems before."
He paused, glancing at Tony.
"The moment the Sanctum was attacked,
Mordo and I received the alarm and rushed over immediately.
Kaecilius didn't pay much attention to me, an unfamiliar face.
So, while he was fighting Mordo, I used the Stupefy Curse to knock him out.
In fact, I didn't expect that move to work.
And then, we repelled the Master who followed him.
Then we brought him here to the library.
And we've been controlling him with the Inverted Bell and the Stupefy Curse."
Leon nodded. This time, Old Wang indeed made a great contribution.
Of course, Tony's modified alarm system was also crucial.
That was two weeks ago, when Wang and Mordo drafted the "Kamar-Taj New Wizard magic System Teaching Plan."
Leon specifically asked Tony to help with a comprehensive modernization.
Now in Kamar-Taj, projection equipment full of technological sense can be seen everywhere.
Master only need to tap their wrist to project holographic teaching videos recorded by Wang and Mordo, constantly learning new magic.
Even a big data cultivation system has been set up in the training ground.
This system will determine the most suitable spellcasting method for individual Master based on big data.
Allowing Master to progress without worries on the path of learning magic.
As for the bloodline potion needed to learn new magic,
Mordo and Banner, after several days of discussion,
reached a long-term cooperation on the upbringing of magical animals and the provision of materials.
And they are also preparing to establish a magical animal breeding Base in Kamar-Taj.
To ensure the long-term development of the wizard system.
It can be said that the new magic teaching model in Kamar-Taj
is developing steadily and positively.
"Well done, Wang."
Leon patted Wang's back in praise, "But you guys have already resolved it, haven't you? Is there any other danger?"
"No, not anymore." Wang was obviously very happy to be praised, "It's just that you weren't in the Holy Land, and Mordo and I felt uneasy."
Mordo also said: "Kaecilius's escaped followers will definitely return, trying to rescue him."
His face was a little troubled, after all, Kaecilius was his Master Brother.
"Our best option is to execute Kaecilius, this traitor, first, but this requires you, Leon, to decide."
"Execution… No, I have a better idea."
Leon looked at the two, "After Ancient One's Death, those Dimensional Demon God who sneak in every day, trying to attack the Sanctum Sanctorum, have been increasing day by day, haven't they?"
"That's right, those Dimensional Demon God, Hell Lord, are all using Dimensional Demon God to test our current strength," Mordo nodded.
Leon crossed his arms: "Ancient One is dead, Kamar-Taj has lost its strongest power. They are testing now, and later it will be a large-scale attack."
"So we cannot just defend."
"Instead of passively defending and constantly depleting our own strength, it's better to counterattack proactively."
"Defense has never been my style."
"Setting an example and then demonstrating a strength that makes enemies retreat in the face of difficulty, that is my style!"
"This attack by Kaecilius is a very good opportunity!"
Although Leon is often more cautious,
he will never hesitate when it's time to act.
Ancient One had said before that the Marvel Cinematic Universe had already reached the stage of Multiverse war.
In the Main Universe of the movie.
Superheroes are probably already making initial contact with Kang's variants.
At this point in time, Mephisto from "Ghost Rider," or other Hell Lord, could also cast their greedy eyes on Earth.
Leon becoming Sorcerer Supreme at this time
will not be like Strange in the Main Universe of the movie, who only has one Dormammu to face among enemies above the Cosmic level.
So, a proper display of strength is very necessary.
At least, make those Dimensional Demon God retreat in the face of difficulty and shift their attention to other parallel Universe first.
As the saying goes, if the bandit can go, I can also go.
He just needs to become stronger, become an immortal and even a Law Master.
One day, he will turn around and invade the dimensions of these Dimensional Demon God.
"Counterattack? But, who do we counterattack?" Mordo looked shocked and confused.
"Are we going to the Dark Dimension to find Dormammu?"
"But, Dimensional Demon God are invincible in their own dimensions, aren't they?"
Mordo knew Leon was Superman, incredibly strong, but he didn't think he could defeat Dormammu in the Dark Dimension.
Why are Dimensional Demon God called by this name?
Because all their power comes from the Dimensional World.
Outside their dimension, their strength will significantly decrease.
But within their own dimension, they can truly be said to be the World itself.
Leon, of course, also knew this principle.
Just like when he was in the Resident Evil World, his strength would increase exponentially due to his mastery of authority.
If according to the comic Universe setting, Dormammu's inherent strength is actually comparable to Odin.
But if he is in the Dark Dimension, Dormammu will be incredibly strong, even capable of defeating the abstract entity Eternity's clone.
That is already a strength above the ordinary single Cosmic level, capable of destroying the Milky Way Galaxy in an instant.
Although everyone's strength is weakened in the movie Universe.
But as long as he is in the Dark Dimension, Dormammu certainly has a weak single-level strength.
So Leon had to put the battlefield in the real World: "Of course not going to the Dark Dimension, we have to lure him out, then close the door and beat the fallen dog!"
"How to lure?" Mordo's eyes widened.
Leon pulled out a World Ring and looked at Kaecilius: "I have a sacrifice, there's a priest here. It couldn't be easier to summon Loki."
Chapter 169 Guarding the Temple
"Sacrifice?"
Mordo's already feverish brain grew even hotter when he saw the ring, so hot that he felt dizzy.
Could this ring be some kind of Supreme Artifact, one that even Dormammu would leave the Dark Dimension for?
"Inside this is a World."
Leon gave the answer but didn't explain in detail. Instead, he led the group directly into the ring.
After letting everyone glimpse the vast continent and distant deep space within the ring, he returned to the library.
"The length, width, and height of this World are all one trillion kilometers, which is about 0.1 light-years."
"I believe that facing such a temptation, Dormammu couldn't possibly remain unmoved."
Leon said, tossing the ring into the air.
"Although Earth holds a unique attraction for Dormammu, this ring should be just as appealing."
He conjured several magic chains to secure the ring and then cast Vishanti's defensive runes around it.
"Because the World inside the ring is an independent space, its current state is equivalent to a small dimension embedded in our Universe."
"So, afterward, I will take Kaecilius inside to perform the ritual."
"At that time, Dormammu will bypass the protective shield erected by the Sanctum Sanctorum and directly enter the World Ring to devour the World inside."
Leon clapped his hands, dusting off non-existent dust. "And I will fight him then. As long as I drive him away, the plan will be a complete success!"
Regarding Dormammu, whose exact strength was unknown, he couldn't confidently say he could win against him.
But at least, he shouldn't lose.
Mordo and the other two, still reeling from the sight inside the World Ring, gaped in astonishment after hearing Leon's words.
Their gazes towards Leon, for a moment, were like three African natives in the mid-19th century seeing a wealthy European arriving at the Cape of Good Hope on a steamship, blowing its whistle, for the first time.
"A... a personal World?" Mordo stood like a statue.
Wang seemed to hear his heart creak, a sound of heartache: "Such a precious thing to be used as a sacrifice?"
Dr. Banner scratched his head: "Is that Dormammu worth enticing with such a treasure?"
Only Tony couldn't see anything because there was no signal in the World inside the ring.
"What World? What are you talking about?" His translucent projection looked around at the four people.
"I've wanted to ask from the beginning, what are those Sanctum, Dimensional Demon God, and Dormammu things?"
Tony hadn't yet learned Kamar-Taj's magic and knew nothing about these concepts.
Wang looked at Tony and sighed. Sure enough, those who knew nothing were happier.
"You probably haven't fully understood yet, Kamar-Taj's duty is actually to protect Earth from invasion by evil entities from other dimensions."
"Secular disputes have nothing to do with us; our enemies all come from other dimensions."
"For example, Dimensional Demon Gods are rulers of extra dimensions. They want to devour Earth into their realms, so they constantly attack us."
"And our main means of blocking these Demon Gods are the Sanctum Sanctorum left by Agamotto, the progenitor of magic."
"The three Sanctum are located in London, Hong Kong, and New York, collectively supporting a shield that covers the entire Earth."
"If the Sanctum are destroyed, entities from other dimensions will descend upon Earth without hindrance."
"What Kaecilius wants to do is precisely that: he wants Dormammu, the lord of the Dark Dimension, to devour Earth!"
Wang finished all the information in one breath.
He was still shocked by the ring World he had just seen.
The reason he rattled off a string of words like pulling a trigger was actually to tell himself that facing an enemy like Dormammu, even sacrificing something as precious as the World Ring was worth it.
But... damn it!
Wang secretly clutched his sleeve.
He couldn't understand why, even though the World Ring belonged to Leon, he felt such intense heartache.
On the other side.
Dr. Banner and Tony fell silent after hearing the explanation.
Both of them were still just magic apprentices and heard these things for the first time.
Tony, who was in New York, took a few steps back and sat in a chair, exhaling silently.
He looked out the floor-to-ceiling window. The night neon lights illuminated the entire New York City, even burning the sky red, and a decadent atmosphere lingered in the misty air.
Behind this bustling World, there were so many crises.
And he had actually thought that the super-powered individuals and aliens recorded in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files were already most of the truth about the World.
Fortunately, now he was also a member of the sorcerer community.
"I want to go too, Leon, bring me to Kamar-Taj, I can help you!" Tony suddenly stood up, slapping the table, and said to Leon in the projection.
Leon raised an eyebrow: "Actually, even if you didn't say it, I had this intention."
He swiped his right hand, not even wearing his Sling Ring, and opened a Mystic Art of Portalsconnecting Kamar-Taj and Tony's office.
One side of the portal was the New York night, the other side was the clear morning sky of Kamar-Taj.
Tony took his magic wand from the drawer and walked through the portal.
Dr. Banner frowned, conflicted: "Leon, are you planning to take Tony too? But facing a Dimensional Demon God, Tony might be in danger!"
"Although it's not good to say this, besides that big guy inside me, it would be difficult for anyone else to protect themselves."
"Take me with you, Leon. Let's go together." Dr. Banner put down his briefcase.
Inside were his most precious Fantastic Beasts.
He might not return from this trip, and he hoped Mordo would take good care of them.
"Dr. Banner, wait a moment. Don't put down your precious briefcase yet."
Leon smiled wryly, "I didn't say I was taking you. Fighting Dormammu, I'm enough. I'll take Kaeciliusand his followers to summon Dormammu."
"You have other tasks!"
He swept his gaze over the four: "As soon as Dormammu leaves the Dark Dimension and a battle occurs here, other dimensions will very likely notice."
"At that time, if those evil entities come looking for the commotion, they will inevitably seize the opportunity to attack the Sanctum."
"What you need to do is to guard the Sanctum Sanctorum during this time!"
Leon had no intention of democratic discussion and directly arranged: "Wang, you go to Hong Kong to lead the sorcerers there to guard the Sanctum."
"Mordo, you go to the London Sanctum. Remember to bring Grandmaster Daniel and Grandmaster Hamir."
"Tony, you are responsible for the New York Sanctum. You can have the Men in Black assist you."
"Dr. Banner, you stay in Kamar-Taj. Go wherever the situation is critical!"
Wang and Mordo realized this was a command from the Sorcerer Supreme, their expressions solemn, and they bowed in a sorcerer's salute: "Understood!"
Leon then thought of something and looked at Tony: "Oh, by the way, are the Maksimov siblings still very hostile towards you?"
"They're doing pretty well. They said to let time prove everything... That sounds very simple, no malice, right? But why are you asking this now?"
"It's good that you've reconciled. Then I can safely bring them over." Leon drew a portal and walked through it.
"Bring the siblings over? Are you sure? Why?" Tony was full of questions.
"Because they are exceptionally talented," Leon's voice came.
"They can help guard the Sanctum."
Chapter 170 Wanda and her brother enter Kamar-Taj
The Maksimov siblings both possess extraordinary talents.
Especially Wanda, her Chaos Magic is a top-tier power even in the Marvel Universe.
Leon had actually considered bringing Wanda into Kamar-Taj for a while now.
They were still one person short for the agreed-upon battle with Asgard three months later.
Having Scarlet Witch join them would be just right.
However, ever since their rather unpleasant first meeting at Columbia University, he hadn't left his apartment, and naturally, hadn't seen the siblings again.
Leon closed the Mystic Art of Portals, only to discover that the siblings' residence was surprisingly close to his apartment.
At this moment, both of them were in the living room, doing their reading notes.
Pietro was still complaining, saying that he wanted to enroll in a sports major that only required physical training and no brainwork, but somehow it turned into a Sports Management major, and these texts were giving him a headache.
Wanda, on the other hand, was reading a specialized book on economic theory, taking notes as she read.
Their demeanor was truly different from what Leon had imagined.
Tony had indeed brought about significant changes in this pair of siblings compared to before.
It wasn't until Leon walked closer that the siblings noticed him.
"Le-Le… Leon!" They instinctively widened their eyes, gasped, and leaned back into the sofa, as if wanting to shrink into it.
It was clear that their previous encounter with Leon had left a deep psychological shadow on them.
Moreover, it was late at night, and Leon's sudden appearance made it seem like he had come to kill them under the cover of darkness.
It wasn't until Leon explained his intentions that their tense emotions slightly eased.
"You said you want to help us awaken our superpowers, and then have us help protect the Sorcerer Sanctum? Sanctum, what is that…?"
Although they still didn't quite understand the strange terms Leon used, like'Sorcerer' and'Sanctum'.
But the siblings exchanged glances, and after some hesitation, they followed Leon through the Mystic Art of Portals.
The moment they stepped through the Mystic Art of Portals, their entire World changed before their eyes.
Night turned into day, and the city built of steel and concrete transformed into ancient temples constructed of bricks, tiles, and glazed pottery.
On the stone-paved roads between the temple buildings, many people dressed in uniform robes were jogging in small teams.
Some were carrying strange weapons, while others were pushing cannons that looked like they belonged in a 20th-century army.
These people had various skin colors and appearances, and there were even Minotaurs.
With a flick of their wrist, they could conjure strange orange energy whips or open circular portals that could traverse space.
They looked like mysterious figures that would only appear in fantasy legends.
But when they saw Leon, they would all stop, bow their heads, and call him Sorcerer Supreme.
Wanda and her brother were momentarily stunned.
It wasn't until Leon snapped his fingers and succinctly said, "Let's go," that they dazedly followed him towards a grand hall.
There were four people in the hall, and the siblings only recognized Tony.
Through their conversation, the two roughly understood that this was a sacred place that protected Earth, and it was about to be invaded by an evil Dimensional Demon God, and Leon intended to defeat the Dimensional Demon God alone.
The siblings were immediately enveloped by an unprecedented shock.
This somewhat assertive and unreasonable Leon, besides being Superman, was also shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting Earth?
Looking at the five people discussing how to protect the Sanctum in front of them, and then looking at the Sorcerers moving between the buildings outside, preparing for war.
Wanda and Pietro suddenly felt a lump in their throats, feeling that their previous actions of seeking revenge were like those of immature children, and a sense of shame inexplicably rose from the bottom of their hearts.
Their gazes towards Leon also became much more complex in an instant.
Inside the inner hall, the few people quickly finalized the last plan.
Leon confirmed the time: "Now, everyone head to their respective Sanctums, mobilize the Sorcerers to prepare for the enemy, and we'll gather at the library in two hours to begin the plan!"
The four nodded in agreement.
Wong and Mordo opened the Mystic Art of Portals and left.
Tony lightly tapped the Ark Reactor on his chest.
A large amount of mycelium immediately surged out from there.
The Ten Rings on his arm simultaneously lit up, beginning to condense into a gigantic battle armor.
But then he pointed the magic wand in his hand at himself and shouted, "Velavito," casting the Deformation Curse.
The armor, which had originally begun to inflate, eventually shrunk back to human size, perfectly fitting his body.
"Mark 10, a condensed Fungus God Armor after combining with Deformation Curse, with a power amplification of up to ten times. How about it, not bad, right?" Tony raised an eyebrow proudly.
Leon glanced at him, shaking his head dismissively: "Crude Deformation Curse, you still need to practice more."
"This is an advanced Deformation Curse that only changes the appearance without affecting power. I've practiced it for half a year, how is it crude!? You kid, you don't appreciate it."
Tony flew towards the library, intending to use the fixed Mystic Art of Portals there to go to the New York Sanctum.
Banner jogged behind him: "I'll wait for you in the library!"
Leon watched the two leave, then turned back to look at the Maksimov siblings.
"Alright, we also need to start awakening your abilities." He pressed down on the siblings' shoulders.
With a shift in his gaze, the three appeared in the Small World within his body.
"Oh my goodness, this is…!" Wanda looked around in surprise.
Before them was an endless expanse of land, and in the hazy distance, towering mountains could be seen hidden behind a deep blue mist.
Those mountains were at least ten thousand meters high, piercing through the thick blue mist in the high sky, their peaks invisible.
"Wanda, you, look over there!" Pietro suddenly exclaimed, his voice sounding squeezed in his chest.
In the direction Pietro pointed, there was a pair of gigantic bare feet. The toenails were so large that one couldn't see their end, and the ankles shot straight into the sky, disappearing into the mist above.
That must be an incredibly tall giant.
At the giant's feet was an endless ocean.
Leon then said, "This can be considered a Small World belonging to me."
"The air is filled with special energy that can help you awaken your extraordinary powers."
"Do you have any special feelings now, like something slowly awakening in your body?"
He planned to use the Space Stone's energy to help them awaken their abilities.
Although in the movie, it was the Mind Stone that brought out their extraordinary powers.
But that doesn't mean it's impossible without the Mind Stone.
Wanda's Chaos Magic was innate.
When she was ten years old, the bomb with "Stark" written on it didn't explode because she used her ability to alter the probability of the explosion.
Now, she only needed to be guided by the energy of the Infinity Stones.
It would be easy to fully awaken her Chaos Magic.
As for Pietro, there shouldn't be any problem either.
His ability was super speed and the associated physiological enhancements.
Such an ability, no matter how you look at it, would be more suitable to develop using the Space Stone.
"Slowly awakening? Is it demon possession?" Pietro's body trembled, and he suddenly thought of the Dimensional Demon God he had heard about earlier.
"What demon? It seems you don't feel anything."
Leon mobilized wisps of blue gem energy to slowly touch Pietro's body.
"Now?"
"Still no, no feeling… No, that's not right, why do I feel my heart rate accelerating!?"
Pietro's face changed, and he suddenly clutched his chest and fell to the ground.
Something had entered his body, causing a series of chain reactions.
His heart pounded faster, blood surged madly into his heart chambers and was then forcefully expelled, cells throughout his body were changing, his body temperature rose sharply, and his skin visibly turned red.
"Pietro!" Wanda panicked, wanting to help Pietro up.
But Leon was faster than her, suddenly appearing in front of Pietro and exhaling a Freezing Breath.
The cold airflow enveloped Pietro, quickly lowering his body temperature and maintaining it at a normal level.
"Don't worry, this is normal. His body is undergoing a metamorphosis. He should successfully awaken his extraordinary abilities in about ten hours."
The Small World within his body had always been operating under the Time Stone's thousandfold acceleration.
Ten hours here would be less than a minute in the outside World.
Pietro kept screaming, so Leon simply knocked him out.
"Next, it's your turn."
"Uh, me, me?" After Pietro fainted, Wanda looked at Leon, suddenly feeling a little flustered.
Chapter 171 Pre-War Preparation and Dormammu Suit
Wanda didn't know why she was panicking.
Perhaps it was because Pietro had been knocked out, and there were only she and Leon here, making her feel very insecure.
Perhaps it was because she was about to awaken her superpower like Pietro, which made her heart ache as if it were being squeezed.
In short, she was very flustered, and she couldn't help but avoid Leon's gaze.
But Leon obviously couldn't understand her panic.
The guy flicked his finger, and beams of condensed Space Stone energy enveloped Wanda.
The next moment, Wanda no longer felt flustered.
Because she had already lost consciousness.
The second before she lost consciousness.
Wanda floated into the air, whether it was due to the Space Stone or some other force.
In a daze, she seemed to see a figure in a red robe with a horned headdress tear through the azure energy and enter her body.
This process lasted only a very brief moment.
It was so short that she didn't even have time to gather her wits to look closely before she fell into a coma, falling limply downwards.
Then, with a wave of Leon's hand, she was sent to the distant lawn along with Pietro.
Leon could sense a mysterious energy continuously surging within Wanda's body.
"Is this Chaos Magic, one of the three ancient powers of the Marvel Universe?"
Leon tried to observe this energy with his mental power, attempting to analyze it.
But as soon as his mental power touched it, the part that made contact was completely devoured.
"As expected, it's very overbearing." Leon stroked his chin, "Perhaps this could also be a path for me to grow stronger in the future?"
"Just like in the Starry Sky World, after comprehending the ten great laws, one must then fuse the Chaos Law, and then further comprehend the Ultimate Dao."
"In the Marvel Universe, after comprehending the six basic powers, can I try to fuse Chaos Magic, or the power of the Phoenix, or the power of Fairies?"
Everything remained unknown.
But Leon felt that it was very necessary to build a good relationship with Wanda in the future.
This was the most convenient way for him to comprehend Chaos Magic in the future.
"They both need to be unconscious for at least ten hours."
Leon floated up and flew towards the Time Fortress standing in the center of the World.
"While I have this time, I need to make some more pre-battle preparations."
On the other side, the Blood Sea Clone had already transformed into a vast sea, continuously creating and dissolving smaller clones to expand the Blood Sea's area.
When the battle began, he would have three backup energy sources: the Space Stone, ten thousand Suns, and the Blood Sea.
Even if an accident occurred and Dormammu's strength was greater than he imagined,
He could also say, like Captain America, "I can do this all day!"
Leon quickly flew into the third layer of the fortress.
He was here to cultivate.
The trial steps here could assist in cultivating the force amplification, and the prerequisite for ascending the steps was a sufficiently strong will.
During the process of the Blood Sea Clone taking ten thousand days to advance to Domain Lord Level Nine,
He had cultivated from 100 times force to 900 times force amplification.
At that time, he could climb to the 999th step at most.
After breaking through to World Lord, his willpower, with the increase in strength, was pushed to the Immortal level.
Now, when he stepped onto the one thousandth step, he would only feel a slight pressure.
He even climbed to the 1300th step in one go.
The third layer of the fortress had a total of ten thousand steps.
Steps 1 to 999 were for willpower below Immortal, and steps 1000 to 5999 were for Immortal.
The remaining part, up to ten thousand steps, was for Law Venerable level.
Standing on the steps.
When Leon began to cultivate the "God Body of Zhou,"
Countless tiny light points automatically emerged from the steps, like fireflies, drilling into his body.
With the assistance of these light points, his force amplification progressed rapidly.
Eight hours later.
Leon left the third layer.
His force amplification had reached 1300 times, which perfectly matched the number of steps.
Subsequent progress would be significantly slowed without the assistance of the steps.
So, it would be better to wait until his willpower advanced again before returning.
Then Leon turned and came to the first layer of the fortress.
Here, with mountains, lakes, and trees, was where the Beast God of Light, "Zhou," usually rested.
Besides the lake being Zhou's swimming pool,
The mountains here were treasures, the trees were also treasures, and even the White clouds in the sky were the same.
So-called treasures were items and equipment either artificially refined or naturally formed in the Universe.
Some could enhance defense, while others could expand into a domain to trap enemies.
Previously, due to his weak strength, Leon couldn't even use these treasures.
Now that he had broken through to World Lord, he finally had the qualifications to reluctantly use some of them.
He found a suit of Armor, a pair of gloves, a cloak, and a small tower in the manor on the mountaintop.
Then he spent a few hours carving his soul imprint into the treasures, and then he could initially use them.
Since these treasures were all "Zhou's" decorations in the manor, they didn't have specific names.
So Leon simply referred to them as the "Suit for Beating Dormammu," or the Dormammu Suit for short.
Among them, the "Dormammu Armor" could change its appearance at will and had extremely strong defense.
Only by using power capable of destroying the entire Solar System with a single blow could one break through this Armor's defense and damage it.
Otherwise, all attacks would be weakened to one ten-thousandth of their original strength.
The "Dormammu Gloves" were a bit inferior.
They originally contained a set of secret patterns, which, when activated, could amplify attack power by roughly ten times.
However, these secret patterns were based on the laws of the Starry Sky World.
When transferred to the Marvel Universe, they lost their effect.
So, it was just a very sturdy pair of gloves that could slightly amplify attack power.
The effect of the "Dormammu Cloak" was that it could withstand attacks and also be used to bind enemies.
The last small tower, the "Tower of Dormammu," was a soul defense equipment.
It was similar to Magneto's psychic helmet, but a super-enhanced version, which could be used to protect the soul and consciousness.
Leon controlled the Dormammu Suit to attach to him.
The Armor, gloves, and cloak were simultaneously donned, forming a black uniform.
On his chest, according to Leon's habit, there was still an S-shaped symbol.
The small tower entered Leon's Original Nucleus, guarding the soul within.
"Pre-battle preparations are complete!" Leon squeezed his wrist, full of fighting spirit, "Now, I just wait for Dormammu to fall into my trap!"
...
When Leon left the Time Fortress,
Wanda and Pietro had already been awake for a while.
The two were now excitedly experimenting with their superpowers on the plain.
Pietro ran back and forth across the ground as if tirelessly, running in an S-shape one moment and an M-shape the next.
He laughed heartily as he ran.
His speed fluctuated around five times the speed of sound.
However, sometimes he would suddenly slow down, becoming as fast as a normal person running.
Clearly, he still couldn't master super speed very well.
Wanda's abilities were much more complex.
She just stood in place, releasing a crimson glow from her hands, trying to lift a patch of grass in front of her.
"It seems you're both very satisfied with your new abilities?"
Leon landed beside Wanda, startling her, and the corner of the lawn she had just lifted crashed heavily to the ground.
"Oh my God! Can you stop appearing so suddenly and scaring people?" Wanda saw Leon and patted her chest, still feeling lingering fear.
It was evident that she had gained a lot of confidence after awakening her abilities, even daring to complain to Leon.
Chapter 172 Two People with Awakened Abilities
"I flew down, I didn't just suddenly appear." Leon pointed to the sky, "You were just too focused."
"So, what superpowers have you all awakened?"
Leon asked, knowing the answer, and even raised his voice so the speedster on the other side could hear him.
Pietro, who was in the distance, heard this and indeed ran back with a series of afterimages, stopping abruptly in front of Leon.
"Super speed, and super physique!" He excitedly wiped his nose with his thumb, "This is my superpower!"
"Hmph, I'm so fast now that I'm far beyond the speed of sound. Your speed might not be as fast as mine, Superman!"
Leon briefly observed with his Super Vision.
Pietro's Super Speed.
In addition to his inherent ability.
It also brought him "matching" physical enhancements.
Pietro's physique was indeed much stronger than an ordinary person's now.
Moreover, his metabolism had become extremely fast, greatly enhancing his recovery ability.
However, this recovery ability was not regeneration like Wolverine's.
Instead, it was a super-accelerated version of an ordinary person's self-healing ability.
"Faster than me?" Leon couldn't help but smile, "Looking at you, do you really want to compete with me?"
Pietro raised his head: "It's not impossible. Although you're Superman and very powerful, and you can fly, speed might not necessarily be your strong suit."
Pietro, who had just gained superpowers, was extremely inflated.
So much so that he even forgot that in the comics he used to read.
Superman's speed could sometimes even catch up to Flash's.
"How about this: you run, and I'll try to catch you?" Leon put one hand on his hip, "Let's compete that way."
"Are you sure?" Pietro tilted his head, but his gaze was suddenly firmly attracted by Leon's clothes.
Leon's uniform, formed from precious treasures, was not a tight suit.
Instead, it was styled similar to Batman's armor.
However, despite being angular.
It still perfectly showcased Leon's muscular lines.
"Wow, did you just change your clothes? You look really handsome!" Pietro exclaimed.
He truly had no hidden agenda.
Before, because he was preoccupied with revenge, he still looked somewhat bitter and resentful.
But now, after nearly half a month, both he and his sister had become college students funded by Tony, so they naturally understood many things.
Thus, like many young boys.
After letting go of his hatred, Pietro's active and restless nature was completely exposed.
At this moment, he even couldn't resist reaching out, wanting to touch Leon's well-built chest muscles.
However, Leon slapped his hand away.
"Hiss, that hurts!" Pietro bared his teeth and shook his hand, "Can't I just touch it once?"
Leon pursed his lips: "If you can beat me, then it's up to you."
Staying with Pietro, Leon felt his own talkative nature was cured.
Because this kid could make him feel speechless at any time.
"Then let's try it!" Pietro, like a rabbit out of its cage, spread his legs and ran.
He ran wildly around Leon and Wanda, his extremely fast movement even stirring the air, beginning to form strong winds.
More than ten seconds passed.
Pietro's peripheral vision had been constantly watching Leon.
Seeing that Leon hadn't moved a step yet, the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted.
Although Superman could be said to be half his idol, this did not affect his immense sense of accomplishment after defeating his idol.
Pietro was extremely happy, secretly thinking, indeed, even Superman would lose to him in terms of speed.
Suddenly, an idea struck him. Since Leon couldn't keep up with his speed.
Why was he still waiting for the other party to catch him?
He could do whatever he wanted now!
Pietro suddenly changed direction, running towards Leon, his figure so fast that it seemed to leave illusory Shadows in the air.
He approached Leon with an uncontrollable smile, extending his hand, intending to touch that handsome armor.
As he reached out, he even looked up at Leon's face, wanting to see a look of surprise on that always calm face.
However, it was better not to look.
Looking up, he seemed to have an illusion.
Why were Leon's eyeballs moving with his figure?
Why was there a hint of playfulness in his eyes?
Could it be, could it be that Leon could really keep up with his speed!?
Impossible...
Pietro was just about to deny this incredible thought.
With a smack, his wrist was caught by Leon.
A huge force instantly enveloped him, forcing him to stop.
"Got you." Leon raised an eyebrow, teasing, "You lost, Pietro. To be honest, I still prefer you when you were always frowning."
"Why?" Pietro asked blankly.
"Because you were more composed when you were frowning, not like this now, as exaggerated as a certain guy who always appears in a red suit."
Leon did not release Pietro, but instead enveloped him with a Bio-field.
Suddenly, both their figures flashed simultaneously, appearing on a mountaintop tens of thousands of kilometers away.
"Wanda is over there." Leon pointed to the distant horizon for the bewildered Pietro, "This is my speed."
After speaking, the two returned to their original spot.
Pietro remained stunned for several seconds before his brain processed what had just happened.
He suddenly looked at Leon, his throat bobbing, his eyes almost popping out: "What kind of speed was that!? Was that teleportation?"
Leon patted his younger brother's shoulder: "It's Light Speed."
Pietro's eyes bulged again, like a goldfish flopping on the shore, his mouth opening and closing but unable to speak, his mind going blank.
Seeing this, Leon left Pietro and looked at Wanda: "What about you, what's your ability?"
Wanda glanced at her brother, who was still muttering, and some of her little schemes instantly faded.
She had previously planned to use her newly acquired superpowers to scare Leon in return.
But now, thinking about it, it was best to just think about it.
"I am… telekinesis and mind control, no, I'm not sure yet, it should be the ability to create illusions." Wanda struggled.
"You can try to use your ability on me." Leon said to Wanda, who had taken a step back, "My mental power is very strong, I'll be fine."
"Are you sure? Then…" Wanda hesitated, raising her hands, "What kind of illusion should I create?"
"One that can make me feel fear." Leon nodded.
"...Okay!" Wanda walked to Leon's side, stood on tiptoe, and lightly touched his forehead with her slender fingers, scarlet energy overflowing.
However, Leon waited for a while, but felt nothing.
"You haven't started yet?" He looked at Wanda.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Wanda's forehead: "I'm already trying my best to use my superpower!"
Leon thought for a moment and found the answer.
His own mental power and willpower were already terrifyingly high.
And there was a small tower protecting his soul, guarding his Original Nucleus.
It would be strange if the novice Wanda could make him hallucinate.
"It doesn't seem to be working?" Wanda's smile was a bit awkward. She knew she definitely couldn't do anything to a monster like Superman.
"Try again." Leon removed all his mental defenses, including the small tower.
This time, Wanda's illusion took effect.
Leon's vision changed, and an Earth appeared before him.
He floated in space, and his Super Vision saw that everyone on Earth had died, including Tony, Natasha, and others.
The entire Earth was engulfed in Fire, and the land was scarred with ravines.
When he landed, Tony's corpse suddenly opened its eyes.
"Leon, why did you take so long to cross this time? The enemy was too strong, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him."
Leon silently looked at the familiar corpses scattered everywhere.
Pepper, Shirley, Natasha and her sister, the Men in Black… everyone was speaking, hundreds of faces repeating the same words.
All asking him why he had been gone for so long.
This was what Leon subconsciously worried about every time he traversed.
Worrying that one day he would return.
To see such a scene of corpses strewn across the field.
"As expected of Chaos Magic." Leon said softly.
Wanda was only tentatively manipulating the energy now, not even close to basic application.
Yet she could already evoke the deepest worries within him.
Once she became a bit more proficient, her strength would likely easily surpass those Archmages of Kamar-Taj.
Leon took one last look at the pile of corpses and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Wanda was looking at him with curiosity and a hint of concern.
"You actually broke free from the illusion yourself… Well, it would be strange if you couldn't break free."
Wanda asked curiously.
"That scene just now, is that your greatest fear? But you're so strong, why would you still have such worries?"
"Strength is never enough." Leon shook his head.
He changed his tone, "Wanda, your ability is very good."
"But you misunderstood one thing.
It's not just telekinesis and illusion creation.
Its true form should be a super powerful force capable of altering reality, like magic."
Leon's mind moved, controlling the materials within his inner World to construct a Villa.
"Both you and your brother have great potential."
"However, great potential doesn't mean strong actual power. For the next period of time, you and Pietro will train well here with me."
"By the way, the time flow here is a thousand times faster than the outside World, so we have plenty of time."
