Seeing the two Wandas fighting without any explanation, Linen immediately stepped forward, trying to separate them.
But the result was—
Multiverse Wanda: "This is a matter between us, dear. Just stand aside and watch the show."
Wanda: "Dear, this is between me and her. I will never allow anyone to take you away from me."
Wanda: "Bastard! You're not allowed to call him 'dear'!"
Seeing both Wandas block him at the same time, Linen could only stop helplessly.
Carefully dispersing the scarlet magic attacking her, the multiverse Wanda laughed and said,
"Is that all you have? If this is all your strength, then you won't be able to stop the other Wandas in the multiverse from coveting Linen."
Hearing the ridicule, Wanda's face flushed instantly, and scarlet light flashed in her eyes.
Two beams of scarlet magic shot straight toward the multiverse Wanda.
But in the next second, both attacks were effortlessly blocked.
"That's right," the multiverse Wanda said calmly.
"The angrier and more hateful you become, the stronger the magic you release."
"Come on—try harder. Let me see how determined you are to protect your future husband and your family."
Stimulated by her words, the crimson magic in Wanda's body surged violently.
"You want to see my determination?"
In the next second, scarlet energy wrapped around her entire body. Wanda stared sharply at her opponent.
"Then I'll show you what true determination is!"
Boom—!
As the massive crimson energy continued to accumulate and reached a critical point, the two forces exploded violently.
The terrifying shockwave instantly uprooted nearby trees, and the lush green grass was reduced to scorched wasteland in an instant.
When the smoke dissipated, both Wandas were still floating in the air.
But this time, Wanda was bound tightly by chaos magic released by the multiverse Wanda.
Still, the multiverse Wanda continued provoking her.
"It seems your determination still isn't enough, Wanda. With this level of strength, you can't protect your Linen."
"Look—this is your future. Do you really want this to happen?"
As soon as her voice fell, chaos magic invaded Wanda's mind.
In the next moment, Wanda saw a vision—
Linen standing happily with other versions of Wanda from different universes.
And she herself was like a stray dog begging for happiness she could never have—only able to stand far away and watch Linen, another Wanda, and their children living a joyful life.
"Huh?"
On the ground, Linen—who had already flown into the air, ready to intervene at any moment—finally realized something was wrong.
During the three days the multiverse Wanda had stayed with them, she hadn't truly come to steal him.
Instead, she had constantly provoked Wanda, using words and chaos magic to guide the power within her.
It was clear now—
She was trying to help Wanda become stronger, so she could control chaos magic more easily in the future.
Seeing that Linen had figured it out, the multiverse Wanda winked at him.
"The multiverse is becoming increasingly dangerous, and your universe has already been affected."
Turning to Linen, she continued seriously,
"The Ancient One of this universe is still alive, so there won't be major problems for now."
"But once she dies five years from now, you'll face an enemy far beyond imagination."
"Dear, you are the anchor of this universe—but Wanda is the one who can truly save it."
"If she can't master chaos magic in advance, then even with the Darkhold or the Book of Vishanti in the future, the outcome will still be disastrous."
At this point, a trace of apology appeared in her eyes.
"Originally, this storm shouldn't have affected your universe."
"But when Sylvie was escaping, she accidentally left the Time Controller on Thanos's spaceship."
(This corresponds to Chapter 58 and Chapter 73—another plot thread is now closed.)
"This allowed Thanos to obtain the Time Controller. Although we launched an emergency correction afterward, a new branch timeline was still created."
"We aren't worried about a Thanos who possesses the Heart of the Universe."
"What truly worries us is a future where Thanos joins forces with Victor Von Doom and Owen Reece."
"One is a madman, one is obsessively stubborn, and one will do anything to achieve his goals."
"But the terrifying thing is—each of them wants to save their own universe."
After a sigh, the multiverse Wanda said apologetically,
"So to compensate, the only thing we can do is make Wanda stronger."
Hearing this, Linen suddenly recalled the incident in Europe involving the vampire group.
That day, Sylvie appeared suddenly—and left together with the multiverse Wanda.
Later, during the Sunrise event, Kid Loki mentioned that Thanos had broken into the Time Variance Authority…
It seemed the future was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Just as Linen was about to speak, Wanda—still bound by chaos magic—suddenly erupted with an even more terrifying surge of power.
It was energy that felt capable of destroying the world itself.
The sheer pressure made even Linen unconsciously frown.
Seeing this, the multiverse Wanda smiled slightly.
At the same time, she said softly,
"Wanda—accept it. Acknowledge it. Remember it."
"Only then will you be able to control it in the future."
As Wanda slowly opened her eyes, the world-destroying energy gradually dissipated.
At the same time, the chaos magic binding her body slowly vanished.
"Hah…"
Wanda let out a long breath, recalling the terrifying power she had just released.
She looked up at her multiverse counterpart, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Thank you…"
"You're welcome. This is just making up for what we owe."
Landing gracefully, a beautiful smile curved at the multiverse Wanda's lips.
"Besides—I still need to borrow Linen for a while."
"What?"
Wanda frowned immediately upon hearing that.
"Don't worry," the multiverse Wanda said calmly.
"My purpose this time isn't to take Linen away from you."
Walking closer, she raised her hands and placed them on either side of Wanda's forehead.
"We need the energy of Linen's Self Gem."
As she spoke, she released her magic—allowing Wanda to clearly see the true purpose of her visit.
