Chapter 702: Crazy Wanda, Old Magneto Gets Cold Feet

Silence.

The previously noisy and chaotic street fell silent in an instant. Many people looked in horror at the scene before them; the high-profile New York Times reporter who had been full of spirit just a moment ago had his head explode like a watermelon the next second, spilling watermelon juice all over the ground.

In this public square, Wanda actually dared to kill, and she even made the other party's body explode.

The anger toward Mutants that had nowhere to vent was now directed at Wanda!

In fact, many people understood in their hearts that Wanda was not the culprit, but they could do nothing against Magneto.

Coupled with media public opinion, all kinds of fanning the flames, and the anger over the deaths of loved ones, they blindly focused their fire on Wanda.

After all, Wanda was a girl, and she seemed easy to bully and was also associated with the X-Men; she might be a hero-in-training.

Although heroes can save the world, they will also be subjected to cyberbullying; this is common sense.

Moreover, ordinary superheroes will not attack ordinary people and will only silently endure it.

The slaughter ignited the nature of the Scarlet Witch; at this moment, Wanda needed more death, more fear, and more anger.

Most people were afraid, but some stubborn ones emerged and shouted: "Dirty Mutant, have you exposed your true nature? If you have the ability, kill us all; I am not afraid of death."

A young man with yellow hair stood out. Once he spoke, the street that had quieted down became noisy and chaotic again.

One by one, they denounced Wanda, their anger burning.

Some even threw trash at Wanda, but it was all blocked by the Magic Protective Shield on the surface of Wanda's body.

"Kill them."

"Look at them, how hostile they are toward you, how much they hate you. This world is too dirty and needs purification."

The Scarlet Witch personality in Wanda's mind seduced her again, which made Wanda's killing intent even heavier. With another wave of her hand, the yellow-haired young man turned into a pool of blood on the spot.

Not only that, the humans clamoring in front of her, under the Chaos Power, turned into blood mist one after another, or their bodies exploded, twisted, and constantly decomposed; in any case, the way they died was extremely unsightly.

In just a breath of time, dozens of people lost their lives.

This group of people was finally afraid and retreated one after another.

But Wanda's eyes were already red with slaughter; she had no pity for these people who cyberbullied her.

"Kneel!"

Wanda's body slowly hovered in the air, and the massive scarlet magic enveloped all directions. Although the humans wrapped inside were not physically affected, they still felt that their lives no longer belonged to them; a single thought from the other party could annihilate them.

Accompanied by Wanda's words, some people knelt down out of fear, but some did not.

Unsurprisingly, all those who refused exploded instantly, splashing blood and various excrement all over the people around them; the stench of blood soared to the sky, reeking to the heavens.

Suddenly, a red laser blasted toward Wanda's back. Caught off guard, Wanda fell from the sky and smashed into a large pit.

Behind her, the X-Men had arrived; the one who fired the laser was Laser Eyes.

Wanda stood up from the pit, her injuries automatically recovering. She said angrily:

"Professor, are you here to stop me?"

Professor Charles had a look of compassion on his face. He looked at the surrounding tragedy, the entire street dyed red with blood, and said gravely:

"Wanda, this was not your fault originally, but Eric's. But you have already killed so many people; stop now. You are currently dominated by anger; you should find your original heart."

"Heh, Professor. I am clearer now than ever before; these people are not worth saving.

Even if I stop, what happens after?" Wanda retorted.

"If you make a mistake, you must admit it. If you kill someone, you will naturally face legal sanctions. But don't worry, I will fight for the greatest leniency for you; you will not be in any danger, and your life will not be disturbed," Charles promised.

"Leniency? Heh, only the weak are shown leniency, and I am the strong.

If I cannot decide the future of the world, then I will control this world.

Now, I am Scarlet Witch Wanda; call me Queen!"

Wanda's mental state at this time was very crazy; she was no longer the Wanda from before.

Looking at the X-Men, Wanda felt very angry and directly used the power of the Twelve Charms to shoot a laser at them.

Laser Eyes stepped forward to confront Wanda with his own laser!

Boom!

The two crimson lasers touched in the air, and in an instant, an indescribable energy tide erupted; the surrounding buildings and the earth collapsed one after another.

The other X-Men attacked at the same time; they had to subdue Wanda in the shortest possible time, otherwise, the damage caused would become greater and greater.

Rogue and Wolverine emerged directly from the ground. Wolverine extended his steel claws and, without a shred of pity, pierced Wanda's abdomen.

Drenched in blood, the excruciating pain brought Wanda's anger to its peak. She waved her hand and slapped Wolverine away, then used telekinesis to control him. The powerful magic made Wolverine's body fragile, and the bones inside his body were sucked out one by one.

"Ah!" Wolverine screamed. He turned into a bloody man; even when he was hit by a Nuclear Bomb, he had never been in such pain.

After all, a Nuclear Bomb was an instantaneous event, and his body would automatically heal afterward.

But now, his bones were being dismantled; although he could heal, the process was too painful.

Storm manipulated the weather, letting lightning strike Wanda, but Wanda had long since activated her Magic Protective Shield and used the Twelve Charms to protect her body; ordinary attacks could not get close to her.

Wanda glared at Storm, and Storm's eyes turned red, then she attacked Charles as if she were possessed.

Charles knew that Storm was under Mind Control, so he used his own ability to break the control, and Storm eventually fainted and fell to the ground.

After finishing torturing Wolverine, Wanda waved her arm casually, and his entire body was smashed into a nearby building, his life or death unknown.

"Professor, let me take action," Jean said.

"No, you cannot fully control your power yet. Once you lose control, you will be no different from Wanda.

One Wanda is already enough, and with you added..."

Charles refused to let Jean join the battle; he was truly afraid that Jean would lose control.

One with Chaos Power, one with Phoenix Force.

If these two met, it would likely cause the greatest disaster in history; it was possible that even Earth would be gone.

Jean knew the Professor's worries, and she indeed could not control the power within her.

"Alright," Jean retreated helplessly.

At this time, the remaining X-Men were basically all wounded, especially Laser Eyes, whose eyes were blinded and could no longer shoot beams.

"Now, Professor, can you still stop me?" Wanda said with a slight lift of the corner of her mouth.

Charles shook his head, and just then a black spaceship appeared in the sky, from which three people descended.

One of them was dressed in black, with a tall and mighty build and sharp facial features, though his mouth seemed to be tightly pursed.

Another wore a blue skin-tight uniform, and his body seemed like rubber as he fell from the sky.

The last one was a Black woman wearing cool armor, with powerful energy constantly erupting from around her body.

Seeing these people arrive, Charles felt slightly relieved.

These were all members of the Illuminati, an organization secretly formed by these superhumans for the purpose of dealing with emergencies and ensuring that crises could be resolved quickly with powerful force.

Currently, there were only four members: the Professor himself, Black Bolt, the leader of the Inhumans from the dark side of the Moon, Mr. Fantastic, who had become famous over the past two years, and Captain Marvel, the guardian of the universe.

"Wanda, do not be obsessed. It is still not too late to turn back." The Professor advised once again.

Seeing that Charles had brought these extra helpers, Wanda felt even more furious and said:

"Shut up, turn back! You are the ones who are wrong, this world is wrong, and this world needs to be corrected!"

"What a girl with personality, but I still advise you to stop. The muscular man in black next to me, the sound waves produced by his mouth alone can shatter a small Planetary body; if he makes a move, you will die," Mr. Fantastic said with a smile.

Black Bolt could be called the ultimate weapon of the Illuminati; in terms of destructive power, he was even more formidable than Captain Marvel, and those sound waves could disintegrate things at the molecular and atomic levels.

No one wanted to fight Black Bolt unless they could kill him with a preemptive strike.

Otherwise, one would have to face those terrifying sound waves!

Black Bolt was satisfied with Mr. Fantastic's description; he was indeed a muscular man.

He even crossed his arms over his chest, puffed out his chest, and looked down at Wanda with a smile.

Wanda, however, gave a weird smile and said: "What did you say, open your mouth?"

As the words fell, the expressions of the crowd varied, and they saw Black Bolt's mouth disappear.

Black Bolt was also stunned, terrified!

Where was his mouth? Why couldn't he feel a slit with his hand?

The next second, Black Bolt's head exploded, and he died on the spot.

"Black Bolt." The Professor was shocked.

Without giving him a chance to react, Mr. Fantastic's body was also modified by Chaos Magic, turning entirely into a pile of plastic strips, and he met his end.

"No!"

Captain Marvel roared and rushed toward Wanda, erupting with all her energy.

Wanda, however, reached out her hand, and a crimson magic vortex swallowed Captain Marvel's energy; a few seconds later, Captain Marvel became an ordinary person, no longer invulnerable, and was also erased by Wanda.

Everything happened too fast; the strongest members of the Illuminati were erased in the span of a breath, and Charles was stunned.

Only now did he understand how terrifying Wanda's power was; he had originally thought he could remedy the situation, but he was still too naive.

The reason Wanda killed Black Bolt, Captain Marvel, and Mr. Fantastic without mercy was mainly because their threat was indeed great, especially Black Bolt's.

As for the X-Men, except for Jean who had not made a move, the others posed no great threat, and it didn't matter whether she killed them or not.

However, letting this group of heroes who tried to stop her watch her execute this group of troublemakers who did not know right from wrong was also a very interesting thing.

In another place, the Brotherhood headquarters, watching the bloody live broadcast of the scene in New York, Magneto should have been happy, but now he was silent and unable to speak.

In his view, he had hoped Wanda would turn to the dark side and stand on his side, but now it was clear that Wanda had indeed turned to the dark side but had also gone insane, becoming very crazy.

"This child's psychological defenses are too weak, sigh," Magneto muttered to himself.

Seeing his old rivals Black Bolt, Captain Marvel, and Mr. Fantastic killed in an instant, he could no longer sit still.

According to the degree of Wanda's madness, she could kill these few today, and perhaps she could wipe him out tomorrow.

One had to know that he had abandoned this pair of siblings since they were small; there was no affection between father and daughter, let alone any talk of a kind father and filial daughter—none of that existed.

The reason he wanted to make amends now and act as a kind old father was because he valued Wanda's Absorption.

If Wanda had no superpowers and was just an ordinary person, he would never have come to look for her in person in his entire life.

Watching the broadcast, Magneto only hoped that this farce would end quickly; as for recruiting Wanda to the Brotherhood, that was impossible, as he was afraid this crazy daughter would slaughter the Brotherhood.
