Hope admitted that she should have listened to old Pym's warning and not let herself be shocked so easily.
Just the reception station alone made her feel like she had entered an underwater galaxy. But when she stepped into the central city, Hope felt as if she had arrived in heaven itself.
It was less an underwater city and more an underwater kingdom.
The workers from Huaxia had perfectly fused art and technology, creating a mysterious paradise beyond imagination.
When she looked toward the streets, she noticed strange figures walking about.
They were all mutants.
Each had different forms and abilities, and here, they truly resembled gods and demons living among mortals.
Xu Dan's vision was clearly beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"I believe him," Hope said firmly. "From now on, I'll believe anything Xu Dan wants to do."
Seeing his daughter like this, old Pym shook his head helplessly. He had tried to prepare her mentally, but it had still overwhelmed her.
Could that young man Xu Dan not create miracles for even a single day?
If this continued, who could possibly keep up?
"That young man is indeed remarkable," Janet said softly, her eyes filled with admiration.
Women were naturally drawn to beauty—especially beauty that was both unique and extraordinary.
Old Pym's expression became slightly awkward.
But he could not deny it.
Not just women—even he himself felt that Xu Dan was someone worth following.
A man with an irresistible and terrifying charisma.
"Let's go," old Pym said suddenly. "We'll visit his palace."
"Palace?" Hope asked in surprise.
"Yes. He's the sole master of this underwater city. Of course he would build himself a palace."
Hope shrugged.
"That would be my ultimate dream. If it were me, I'd just enjoy life at this point."
Everyone had different ambitions.
Different visions.
Different expectations of themselves.
But Hope was certain of one thing.
Even after achieving such miracles, Xu Dan would never stop.
He would continue creating even greater wonders.
He was a man wrapped in mystery and legend.
A man so extraordinary that ordinary women felt unworthy even imagining him.
Old Pym's so-called palace was not truly a palace in the traditional sense.
It was simply an enormous residence.
This underwater city was a free society, without feudal hierarchies or royal authority.
Still, the scale of the building was so massive that calling it a palace was not entirely inaccurate.
There were no guards at the entrance.
Instead, intelligent identification systems handled access.
As one of the founding members, old Pym naturally had full entry privileges.
But just as he approached the gate, a familiar voice rang out.
"Dr. Pym, the master has returned to the surface. If you wish to find him, I can arrange the fastest route for you."
Pym showed slight disappointment.
But Hope was stunned once again.
As the voice finished speaking, a small red figure appeared before them—almost like a ghost materializing out of thin air.
It was the Red Queen.
She was no longer just a projection, but a semi-physical artificial intelligence created with advanced black technology.
"Oh my God… what is that?" Hope gasped. "Is it another mutant? That's terrifying!"
"Miss Hope," the Red Queen replied politely, "I am not a mutant. I am the artificial intelligence assistant of Master Xu Dan. My name is Red Queen."
Old Pym sighed as he watched his daughter's continuous shock.
He turned to the Red Queen.
"We won't go up yet. I'll show them around the city first. Did Xu Dan say when he'll return?"
"No, Doctor. The master did not specify a time."
"Very well. Inform me when he returns."
"Yes, Dr. Pym."
—
Eastern Europe, Sokovia.
Xu Dan appeared alone.
His next plan required him to contact powerful mutants and enhanced individuals around the world.
He was already acquainted with prominent figures such as Magneto, Professor X, and the Phoenix.
But there were still many powerful mutants and latent superhumans hidden across the globe.
Sokovia was his first destination.
Because here lived a girl named Wanda.
The Scarlet Witch.
In Xu Dan's understanding, Wanda was an existence that defied all logic.
Her power bordered on absolute supremacy.
However, Wanda's origin varied across different universes.
In some, her abilities came from Chaos Magic.
In others, her powers resulted from Hydra experiments involving the Mind Stone.
Xu Dan could not be certain which version applied here.
This universe was already abnormal.
Mutants appeared frequently, and reality did not strictly follow any single timeline.
So he began investigating all possible clues.
Eventually, he confirmed that Wanda did indeed live in Sokovia.
At first, she had been completely ordinary.
But after playing the virtual world game "Jedi," subtle changes had begun occurring in her body.
All data pointed toward one conclusion:
Her powers were awakening.
This surprised Xu Dan greatly.
If her awakening had truly been triggered by exposure to the Mind Stone within the cube server, it would contradict conventional expectations.
Normally, such awakening required direct experimentation.
Simply playing a game should not have been enough.
Furthermore, awakenings triggered by Mind Stone energy typically caused severe mental instability.
But Wanda showed no such symptoms.
According to server logs, Wanda logged into the game daily for at least seven hours.
Without interruption.
Another possibility was that she had already possessed Chaos Magic, and the game environment had merely accelerated her awakening.
Regardless of the truth, Xu Dan had already arrived in Sokovia.
He would uncover the answer himself.
And if possible—
He intended to recruit Wanda into his secret plan.
