Chapter 1380

The group turned their heads to look at Wanda somewhat nervously, but Wanda didn't show any abnormality. She just shook her head and said: "My connection with Chthon has been restored. He just called me, wait a moment."

Wanda stood there quietly, sinking into the vision in her mind. She felt the connection of the distant chaos power, and then responded to Chthon's call as usual.

"Wanda, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you answer the phone?" The Great Demon Shadow didn't seem to know the human set of politeness at all. He just asked very bluntly: "Are you dead?"

"You're the one who..."

Wanda was just about to refute, but the Chthon that appeared in her heart's vision made her freeze. That was completely not the Chthon she had seen before—a pair of glowing eyes in a mass of chaotic black mist.

She saw how the veins of infinite power constituted such a great creature, and saw how chaos established the entire universe on him.

Wanda saw a part of the truth of the universe, all the truth about chaos.

That was completely not something the human brain could understand.

"Ahhhhhhh!

" Wanda let out a scream.

Blood seeped from her hollow eye sockets. Jarvis immediately rushed forward and hugged her, but Wanda had no reaction. She was still immersed in her inner world.

"Don't look directly at me!" Chthon's angry voice came.

With a "swish," Wanda woke up, as if she had been driven out by Chthon. Her eyes were full of dazzling brilliance. Those terrifying complex knowledge seemed to have been brutally stuffed into her brain, making her almost lose the cognition of her own thinking.

"Chthon, Chthon, are you there?"

No response.

Wanda held her breath. She bit her lip and said in an angry tone: "Don't think you can just peek at me unilaterally. I order you to respond, Chthon!"

The name of Chthon that Wanda called wasn't the English pronunciation. When this word landed, she didn't realize this point herself, but instantly, Chthon's voice came again.

"Who allowed you to call my true name?!"

"It sounds like you didn't call my true name in the past!" Wanda roared.

"I am protecting you. Humans cannot look directly at the truth of the universe, you will go crazy!"

"I don't care!"

Chthon choked.

Humans might not be able to look directly at the truth of the universe, but an angry human woman certainly can.

Wanda didn't care about the dissuasion at all. She forcibly contacted Chthon and then forced herself to raise her head, looking directly at the connection of chaotic power. Almost instantly, she drowned in the endless sea of knowledge.

"Leave, Wanda!"

Chthon had never spoken to anyone in this tone. The Great Demon Shadow represents the chaos of the universe. He is the cancer of eternity. He recognized Wanda as his agent just because Wanda was the only human, or creature, in this world who could directly communicate with chaotic power.

Her connection with chaos was even closer than Chthon's, but from beginning to end, Chthon's life level must be higher than Wanda's. He is a part of the rules of the universe, just like Eternity.

Just like Eternity, although he didn't have the emotions defined by humans, he also had wisdom and emotion, but clearly, he didn't know how to deal with a crazy woman at all.

In the end, it was Jarvis who stopped Wanda's death-seeking behavior, and Wanda was still very angry. She said loudly to Jarvis: "I just discovered that the perspective of that damn Chthon observing me can see my soul completely, but I know nothing about him. This is simply unfair!"

Jarvis opened his mouth, but the behavioral module implanted by Stark warned him that if he dared to say "seeking fairness from a demon god is very stupid" now, the angry Wanda would definitely make him look good.

"He let me be his agent, but I don't need him at all to use chaotic power. Then what is he for? I signed a contract with him, the purpose is to let him analyze me unilaterally? He's dreaming!"

"Chthon, Chthon, Chthon!

" Wanda kept calling Chthon's true name, not stopping for a moment. Even if more and more blood gushed out of her eye sockets, she didn't care at all.

Chthon was going crazy.

With a "pop," the connection between the two was unilaterally cut off by Chthon. He must have paid some price to do this, because Wanda heard a cry of pain—coming from the dignified Great Demon Shadow Chthon.

Wanda snorted coldly, completely unaware of the blood all over her face and body, and said with full sarcasm while hugging her arms: "Wait, this is just taking back a little price."

She should have a lot of common language with Master Ancient One, Shang-Chi didn't know how to evaluate it, and could only think silently in his heart. He had joked about Master Ancient One burning too much budget when chatting with classmates about Marvel movies before, so she went offline early, but he also learned from his classmates about the brilliant resume of the comic Ancient One beating up demon gods.

"Wanda, has anyone told you? You are very like your father." Jarvis was very tactful, but also exceptionally bold. He grasped Wanda's pulse.

Sure enough, Wanda froze for a moment, touched the blood on her face and said: "What did you say... Good heavens! What have I done? Why did I go to threaten the Great Demon Shadow? I won't really inherit Erik's temper, will I?"

The others stared at her silently, but the expressions on their faces had clearly written the answer "Yes."

The calmed-down Wanda felt embarrassed. She desperately found an excuse for her irrational behavior just now: "I just, I just suddenly saw some truth. It's these so-called gods who are too impolite. I was just acting in self-defense..."

"So what exactly did you see?"

Wanda showed a complex expression and said: "I saw some rules, the rules of the universe, and naturally I also saw these rule-based lives. In the few seconds just now, I even stood from Chthon's perspective and saw myself."

"Naked?" Jarvis didn't mean that at all.

Wanda rolled her eyes, but she still sighed and said: "Far more than that. Unlike the human scrutiny of appearance, just a short glance, I could see my past, present, and future. In their eyes, our soul is like a compressed package of information."

"Just one glance, and everything in my life was clear at a glance. How I was born, how I grew up, and even what I was thinking every second of my life—these pieces of information were all observed simultaneously, completely not developing according to a linear timeline as we understand it."

"No wonder you reacted excessively." Riley said in a low voice: "If he knew that I even cursed the boss's car to have a flat tire in my heart because of overtime, I would also be ashamed to the point of being unable to show my face."

Wanda curled her lips and said: "It has nothing to do with those small things. I don't care if anyone sees through my thoughts either. Anyway, Professor X could do that too. Every mutant is not allergic to this kind of thing."

"What makes me angry is that this kind of understanding and peeking is unilateral, and Chthon never told me what he was!"

"I always thought he was just an ordinary demon god, but I didn't expect him to be a part of the chaotic rules of the universe. This damn liar! When I go back, I'll go to the Sanctum Sanctorum to complain about his contract fraud!"

Wanda stomped her feet hard to show that Miss Witch was not lightly angered, but soon the attention of the group returned to the anomaly tonight.

"Riley gained the ability to predict the future with spider-sense, and Wanda not only contacted Chthon but even saw through him in an instant. Do you think this will be related to that kind of attack at night?" Jarvis looked around at everyone and asked.

"I insist on my point of view, it's actually not an attack." Riley covered his head with some pain and said: "I didn't feel their aggression, really."

【Given the current environment, this site may be closed at any time. Please move to the permanently operating source-switching app as soon as possible.】

Wanda also said with some hesitation: "I only felt that they wanted to descend, descend on me, but I can't be sure whether this behavior counts as an attack. Perhaps in our view, it is."

Shang-Chi froze slightly, then picked up a branch and wrote on the sand: "Do you still remember the metaphor Master Ancient One told us before we left?"

Everyone recalled it, and Jarvis repeated: "You mean, creating wounds on plants in cutting techniques is to better stimulate their vitality?"

"That's right." Shang-Chi nodded and wrote.

"You mean, we are those plants?" Riley's tone revealed some disbelief, and he said: "We lose organs and gain wounds, actually to stimulate our vitality?"

"This is too absurd!" Wanda raised her tone and said.

"But it's a fact that you gained abilities." Jarvis's tone remained flat and calm, and he continued to analyze: "The first day was an attack, the second day was an attack, so I have a very sufficient reason to classify the third day into the category of attacks as well, at least the possibility of an attack is greater."

"Then, it's abnormal that you didn't suffer an attack on the third day. If it was just that you didn't suffer an attack, I could assume that perhaps the attack happened periodically. But you gained some abilities you didn't have before in the same order as being attacked, so I have to link the attack with gaining abilities."

And then Jarvis turned to look at Shang-Chi and said: "Now the samples are insufficient, so we might still have to wait until tomorrow night, observing your situation tomorrow night, to verify whether our inference is correct."

"So we're just waiting here?"

"Because we can't be sure whether the attack will come again now, it's best to sit quietly here. If the previous things were all sugar-coated bullets, but we were paralyzed and careless, and blindly carried out actions, then if the attack really came, it would be terrible."

Jarvis's analysis made the group have nothing to say. The remaining three people weren't proficient in behavioral science, and didn't know how to conduct logical analysis through behavioral science, so they could only listen to Jarvis.

They sat quietly on the second floor of the coffee shop for a night and didn't suffer an attack. When the sun rose, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"The connection between the attack and gaining abilities has been increased, but I think we should still act according to the original plan." Jarvis stood up first and then said: "When I was boiling water downstairs before, I saw some ingredients in the warehouse. I'll go make you breakfast, and you can take a nap."

Shang-Chi pulled Jarvis and made a gesture, indicating that he would go with him. He could also cook, so the two of them went to the cold storage downstairs in the coffee shop together.

This wasn't a chain coffee shop, it wasn't that professional, and they also sold meals in the morning, so there were ingredients stored in the cold storage. And it looked like the cold storage had been newly replaced, the refrigeration efficiency was quite good, so they really found some edible ingredients.

Although the induction cooker and the gas stove couldn't be used because there was no energy, it wasn't bad to take the pot and use it on the primitive fire. Jarvis took a few bags of vegetables, Shang-Chi took a basket of eggs, and the two returned to the center of the lobby on the first floor.

Just when Jarvis was borrowing the sink behind the coffee operation counter to wash vegetables, as soon as he turned his head, he found Shang-Chi beckoning to him.

Jarvis put down the vegetables and walked over, seeing Shang-Chi holding a wrinkled newspaper in his hand. That was the waste newspaper padded under the egg basket, but Jarvis saw a familiar face on the front page headline at a glance—that was Ancient One.

And what made both of them somewhat shocked was that the bold black front page headline wrote—"Upright Four-Limbed Monster Kidnaps Child, All City Police Forces Are Converging Toward Central Park!"
