"No problem, Teacher." Strange said with difficulty, "I am just... adjusting the output of my magic, I will start right now."
Homelander watched Strange's reaction, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Could this guy really have a way?
Or was he planning to pull some tricks right in front of him?
Homelander had indeed seen through Strange's lie long ago.
He had descended silently, watching Strange's clumsy performance with only one purpose.
Waiting for Strange to break down on his own, waiting for him to voluntarily kneel and admit his mistake.
Homelander greatly enjoyed the process of crushing others' hearts.
As long as Strange admitted that he was corrupted by the darkhold, and admitted his selfishness and malice.
He could rightfully manipulate the strongest Sorcerer Supreme of the future in this Marvel Universe.
By the way, he could once again play the role of a righteous and grandiose savior, heavily reaping a sum of special popularity value from him.
However, now, Strange did not beg for mercy on his knees as Homelander had anticipated.
Homelander watched Strange's reaction, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. Could this guy really have a way? Or was he planning to pull some tricks right in front of him?
He took half a step back with great interest, crossed his arms, and adopted a wait-and-see posture.
"Very well, then I'll leave Wanda to you... Dr. Strange."
Strange slowly turned around, facing the magic array and America again.
Utilizing his understanding of various taboo black magics in the darkhold, combined with that out-of-control multiverse-traveling power inside America's body, he attempted to forcibly fuse a new magic capable of pulling souls.
This was a crazy and fatal attempt.
In the realm of magic, forcibly fusing magic was the most dangerous taboo.
A slight carelessness would cause the magic power to conflict violently, triggering a devastating magic explosion and blowing everything here into dust.
But now Strange was in a dilemma.
"Forget it, let it be destroyed!"
Strange let out a despairing wail in his heart, completely releasing the suppression on the dark magic power, and crazily injecting all the magic power into the magic array beneath his feet.
The red magic power and the blue energy emanating from America collided violently in mid-air, rushing into the multi-dimensional void like two maddened Beasts.
Space began to twist violently, and fine cracks appeared on the stone walls of the secret room.
...
Meanwhile, in the distant 616 Universe.
Scarlet Wanda had her eyes closed, fully exerting the Dream-walking medium.
Her Chaos Magic had completely enveloped Wanda's lost astral body, and she was carrying out consciousness parasitism along the astral link, completing a smuggling act across the Universe.
An abnormality! Happened in this very instant.
That berserk magic power forcibly kneaded by Strange from black magic superimposed with the power of the Star Dimension, following the exact same astral link, crossed the endless multiverse and descended with a bang!
"What is this?!"
Scarlet Wanda felt another destructive, disorderly magic power surging upstream with an overwhelming momentum.
"No! This is impossible!"
She let out a shrill scream, and the Chaos Magic originally used to protect the astral passage instantly collapsed under this sudden cross-dimensional energy impact.
The backlash power generated by the magic shock surged geometrically, acting directly on Scarlet Wanda's body.
Scarlet Wanda lowered her head in panic, watching her body peel off starting from her feet like weathered rock.
Not only did the powerful Chaos Magic fail to repair her physical body, but it instead became a catalyst accelerating the collapse of her body.
She knew that the collapse of her physical body was irreversible; if she didn't do something, she would dissipate in this World.
There was no time to hesitate.
She thought of Billy, she thought of Tommy.
She thought of that fleeting happiness she had seen in the multiverse.
She would never accept death; she had to go find her children.
"I will never give up! Don't even think about stopping me!"
In the final 0.1 seconds of life and death, Scarlet Wanda showed astonishing decisiveness.
With a roar, before her body completely broke down, she forcibly severed her consciousness from her disintegrating physical body in one stroke.
All her mental power and all her Chaos Magic were instantly compressed into a solid red sphere of light, crashing heavily into Wanda's astral body.
The next moment.
In the 616 Universe, Scarlet Wanda's physical body met its end, completely turning into flying ash and dissipating in the gloomy forest.
...
Meanwhile, in the New York Sanctum secret room.
The consequences of the out-of-control situation were far more chaotic than Strange had anticipated.
The berserk magic energy lost control, and star-shaped Portals opened crazily and irregularly inside the secret room, closing again in an instant.
Various items in the secret room were sucked into the Portal.
"No! No! No! Stop!" Strange looked at all this in terror.
Suddenly!
A star-shaped Portal taller than a person opened without warning behind Strange.
A huge suction force enveloped Strange.
Before he could react, his entire body was sucked in backward.
Immediately after, that Portal, like a closed mouth, vanished without a trace in an instant.
In the center of the magic array, the chains on America snapped inch by inch as the magic power ran wild.
The girl's petite body was pulled by a powerful suction force, drifting toward a Portal that had just split open in mid-air.
Just at the moment when half of America's body was about to sink into the Portal.
Homelander grabbed the girl's waist, forcibly pulling her back from the edge of the void.
The moment he touched the girl's body.
The blue energy on the verge of running wild inside America's body seemed to have found an outlet, crazily surging into Homelander's body.
As this runaway energy drained away, America's face turned pale, and she passed out in Homelander's arms.
Deprived of energy supply, the chaos in the secret room also came to an abrupt halt.
The secret room returned to silence once again.
Homelander lowered his head to look at the unconscious girl in his arms, then looked up to survey the messy secret room and the place where Strange had disappeared.
Even Homelander, who always considered himself to be in full control of the overall situation, couldn't help frowning and cursing inwardly at this moment.
What the hell kind of thing is this?!
This Strange actually messed around randomly and rubbed himself out of existence?
"Cough... cough cough..."
A faint sound of coughing interrupted Homelander's thoughts.
Homelander turned his head.
He saw that Wanda, who was originally sleeping on the long wooden table, had fallen to the ground.
She took a deep breath, just like a drowning person finally surfacing.
Supporting the ground with both hands, she slowly sat up.
Wanda's eyes were filled with the confusion of just awakening; she scanned the surrounding messy secret room, and finally her gaze fell on Homelander, who was holding America.
"Anthony?" Wanda's voice carried a hint of uncertainty.
Seeing the awakened Wanda, the gloom on Homelander's face was swept away.
Although Strange had played himself out of existence, through a Strange twist of fate, Leek Number Two had actually returned.
