"How is America's training going?" Homelander asked the Ancient One straight to the point, "Can she control that ability to travel through the multiverse now?"
The Ancient One nodded.
"Under my guidance, she is already able to actively wield her own power."
"But that's also where the problem lies; she has lost the ability to travel to the multiverse."
"What do you mean?" Homelander frowned.
"She can still open those star-shaped Portals," the Ancient One continued to explain, "but the other side of the Portal is no longer other parallel Universes, but a chaotic World."
"America is very depressed. She told me that this kind of situation has never happened before. No matter how she tries, the end of the passage is always that chaos."
"I suspect that the cause of all this is the Black Magic accident previously triggered by Strange at the New York Sanctum."
"It's not just interference," the Ancient One shook her head. "A part of her core power belonging to her was stripped from America's body, and she is not complete right now."
Lost a part of her power?
Homelander suddenly recalled the scene that day in the secret room when he hugged America.
At that time, the multiverse energy inside the girl was in a state of runaway surge.
At the moment the two contacted, he clearly felt that a peculiar energy had surged into his body.
At that time, he thought it was just ordinary magic backlash and didn't pay attention to it.
"I estimate that that part of her power should have been absorbed by me."
Homelander then truthfully told the Ancient One about the energy surge that happened when he saved someone that day.
"But I cannot sense any abnormal energy fluctuations in my body right now," Homelander spread his hands and said, "nor can I guide that power out."
After hearing this, the Ancient One understood in her heart.
"I see! If this is the case, then things become much simpler."
"America's power is unique, and they will attract each other. Since the power is in your body, then having America cast a spell while in contact with you might draw out the power within your body. Combining the two will reopen the passage to the multiverse."
"Good idea." Homelander immediately nodded in agreement. "This method is very direct and worth a try."
The Ancient One put down the teacup in her hand and smiled gently: "You suddenly mentioned the multiverse. It seems you have already thought of a way to solve Wanda's problem."
"Yes, I know a very powerful psychic." Homelander did not hide it. "The problem is, he is not in our Universe."
"You want to cross the Universe to find him?"
"Yes! Use America's ability to cross the multiverse, find that person, and solve the trouble in Wanda's mind."
To dispel the Ancient One's concerns, Homelander quickly added.
"After the matter is settled, I will immediately send him back, everyone returns to their own homes without any delay, so as to avoid triggering a Universe collision event."
The Ancient One slightly nodded and said in a calm tone: "You can go with peace of mind. America's situation is very special; she is the only existence in the multiverse, with no other parallel versions of herself."
The Ancient One paused slightly and added meaningfully.
"Just like you."
"Therefore, the two of you appearing in other Universes will not break the boundaries of reality, let alone cause a collision event."
Just like you...
Hearing these words, Homelander's brows twitched.
Does she know something?
Does she know that he doesn't belong to this Marvel Universe?
After all, Homelander belongs neither to Marvel nor to DC.
He belongs to the United States independent comic company "Dynamite Entertainment", so it is quite reasonable that he has no variants in the Marvel multiverse.
Homelander calmly asked: "Teacher Ancient One, do you know something?"
"Don't dwell on it, Anthony," the Ancient One said with a calm expression, "Ever since you took me away from my established destiny, I have seen some things I couldn't see before, and learned a little more about things I didn't know before."
She picked up the teacup again and took a light sip.
"Now, you are the future of Kamar-Taj. I will only stand on your side."
Hearing this, Homelander showed a signature smile.
"Of course, you are my dearest teacher, and we are on the same side."
Having obtained the information he wanted, Homelander stood up.
"Before we start, to avoid any sudden situations in the World while I am away, I must go back first to do some preparation work. After I am ready, I will come back to Kamar-Taj to find America."
Wanda also got ready to leave with Homelander.
But Homelander pressed her down.
"During the time I am away, you must stay here to avoid any sudden loss of control."
"This is the safest place on Earth. If that variant suddenly loses control, Teacher Ancient One will suppress her."
Homelander's tone was gentle yet irrefutable.
Although Wanda's heart was filled with reluctance, she was not an unreasonable woman.
She knew she was a ticking time bomb right now, and following by his side would only cause trouble.
"You must come back quickly." She hugged Homelander's waist tightly.
"I promise." Homelander lowered his head.
The two kissed deeply.
...
Arctic Circle.
The howling wind, mixed with cold snowflakes, raged across the vast ice sheet.
A red-and-blue afterimage tore through the sound barrier, drawing a straight white line in the air, and landed with a crash deep in the ice sheet.
Ignoring the severe cold, Homelander strode toward a huge ice wall ahead.
After he approached, the ice wall sensed Homelander's biometric information and automatically slid open to both sides.
Homelander walked through the gate, and the lights on both sides of the corridor lit up one by one with his footsteps.
After passing through the long corridor, Homelander came to the core area, the Genesis Chamber.
As soon as he stepped into the spacious hall, he hadn't even had time to greet Supergo standing in front of the console.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three lightning-fast figures rushed fiercely toward him from the side.
Homelander instinctively wanted to raise his hand to counterattack, but his Spider-Sense did not issue any warning.
After a slight hesitation.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three consecutive muffled thuds.
Three delicate yet terrifyingly powerful bodies slammed solidly into Homelander's arms, hanging onto him like octopuses.
"Father!"
Three crisp and pleasant loli voices rang out in unison.
"Father, you finally came to see us!"
Homelander froze in place, his hands suspended in mid-air, not knowing where to put them for a moment.
He looked down at the three young girls hanging on his body.
These three girls had red hair, blonde hair, and black hair respectively.
Each of them had a graceful figure and hot curves.
The tight combat uniforms outlined their perfect figures to the fullest.
Their looks were even more superb, each with her own unique charm.
The three girls hugged him tightly, constantly rubbing their cheeks against his uniform, calling out "Father" affectionately one after another.
Father?
What is going on?
Homelander was completely baffled.
He turned his head to look at Supergo, who was respectfully lowering his head not far away.
