Chapter 1401: The Old Days Return (17)

The Sanctum Sanctorum was still a busy scene. Strange walked through the corridor with long strides, lightly touched the watch on his wrist, and said: "Let Wong come to my office, use a portal, don't let others see."

Several clerks following him walked toward their offices one after another, one of whom went to find Master Wong. Strange pushed open his office door, pointed to the left, put the vase that had been knocked crooked back into place, and then pointed upward, making all the dust on the chandelier disappear.

Before sitting in the chair, he put the few notebooks and pen holders on the desk against the wall, arranged the pens in the pen holder from warm to cold by color, and placed the notebooks with the bookmarks facing out, spotless.

After Strange sat in the chair, Master Wong walked out of the portal. He looked at Strange and then said: "Sorcerer Supreme, how long has it been since you rested?"

"There is no need to sleep long before death, and there will be long sleep after death," Strange didn't care at all. He adjusted his sitting posture in the chair, looked at Wong, and said: "How is the mages' training recently?"

"Quite good, Your Excellency. What's more gratifying is that the teenage mages have stronger attack and defense capabilities because of the upgrade of the wands, and they can fight after some physical training."

Strange held his mouth with his hand and said: "How many people can the existing wands, cloaks, and sling rings arm?"

Wong frowned, but still said: "Enough for all the mages of Kamar-Taj to use. I mean official mages, not including those young apprentices. I think this is already enough."

Strange rubbed his eyebrows and said: "In other words, there are none for the apprentices?"

"There are still some of the old versions, enough to arm about half, Your Excellency. What's wrong? Why do you want to arm the mages?" Wong asked tentatively. He hesitated for a moment, but still said tactfully: "I think, I'm afraid there is nothing in the universe that requires all the mages of Kamar-Taj to be armed to deal with."

"What about outside the universe?"

"Did you see something through the Eye of Agamotto?"

Strange nodded, expressing affirmation, and said: "I don't see it clearly either, but a great battle will soon occur. Even if all the power of Kamar-Taj is exhausted, it may not be enough."

Wong widened his eyes in surprise, but Strange pressed his hand down to soothe him: "Don't worry too much, self-preservation is enough, but the offensive is insufficient. The strategic weapons that mages can take out are too few, the destructive power is not enough, including myself."

Wong swallowed and said: "Master Ancient One said we shouldn't take destruction as the only goal."

"If the teacher were here, she would be more anxious than me."

Wong had nothing to say, because he knew what Strange said was very likely true. In terms of destruction, the Ancient One had no right to talk about others.

"Then the demon gods..."

"Don't count on them," Strange shook his head and said: "And there is no need to count on them. The mages train in the training ground every day. It's rare to have a chance to show their training results. Why let it go to the demon gods?"

"Actually, I asked you to come here precisely for this matter. This battle will be a grand event of this universe. How many tickets do you think we should charge the demon gods?"

"Ah?"

Looking at Wong's surprised eyes, Strange waved his hand impatiently and said: "They don't pay, why should we let them watch? I tell you, on the day the war starts, you lead a team of mages to patrol the edge of the entire battlefield. Whoever dares to break in without a ticket, peeking around, just chop them for me!"

Wong became a bitter melon face again. He wasn't worried about chopping demon gods; he sighed and said: "So this time I still can't go on the field?"

"Wong, your talent is not in this aspect," Strange leaned his body forward, looking into Wong's eyes and said: "There is no better defender than you. Let the Great Mages handle the offense."

Strange sighed and continued to look at Wong to persuade: "You have to understand my difficulties. Since the Sanctum Sanctorum opened, we have been cooperating with demon gods, and the Great Mages haven't had a chance to kill for several years."

"When they followed the Ancient One, they were majestic. Every day, they were either chopping demon gods or on the way to chop demon gods. But since I became the Sorcerer Supreme and got along with the demon gods, they haven't had any chance to do it again. The Holy Sword Mage is so suffocated that he wants to use Whirlwind Slash just to chop vegetables."

Wong sighed and said: "Fine, then I'll go prepare."

"Remember not to publicize it widely. By the way, who is the spokesperson for the Great Demon Shadow Chthon?"

"Isn't it that mutant Scarlet Witch?"

"Doesn't he have two spokespersons?"

Wong pondered and said: "Yes, the other is Madame Hydra, but the Great Demon Shadow doesn't seem to like her very much. He ignores her in daily contact and only thinks about chasing Wanda."

"Go call her over, I have something to tell her."

Soon, Madame Hydra appeared in Strange's office. This lady who had once been in a sorry state was wearing a professional suit, looking like a Wall Street elite. She flicked her hair boredly and said: "If you want me to call that bastard Chthon, you'd better not count on him answering. I'm already looking for a new home."

"I don't intend to contact Chthon, but intend to skip him."

Madame Hydra didn't understand what the Sorcerer Supreme meant. Strange stood up and leaned very close to Madame Hydra. Madame Hydra stepped back vigilantly. She wouldn't think Strange intended to flirt with her. She was sure that this Sorcerer Supreme had dedicated his life to performance, performance, and performance.

"Skip him, what do you mean?"

"You communicate with chaos power directly, and I send messages to the chaos power of this universe through you. Or rather, your job is to hide it from Chthon. Can you do it?"

"What is the significance of this?" Madame Hydra asked, frowning: "Chaos power is just power. They are part of cosmic rules. They have no personality and will not respond."

"It was like that before," Strange said very firmly, but soon he tapped the edge of the table with his finger, looked at Madame Hydra, and said: "Don't tell me you didn't notice that the chaos power of the universe just experienced a major eruption."

Madame Hydra's eyes turned, looking at Strange, and said: "I felt it, but I have no idea what that was about."

"You don't need to know, just do as I say."

Madame Hydra stood in the center of the room, calming her mind, and began to communicate with chaos power. This process had to be very careful to hide it from the Great Demon Shadow, but fortunately, Chthon didn't care about Madame Hydra at all, or rather, he was very annoyed by her and didn't pay attention to her power fluctuations.

And Madame Hydra herself wasn't very strong, and the power she drew wasn't much, not even enough to tickle chaos power, so she soon established a weak but stable connection with chaos power.

Immediately after, Strange came to Madame Hydra's front. He extended a hand, pressed his finger between Madame Hydra's eyebrows, and through the connection with chaos power, shouted to the opposite side: "Wanda! Wanda! Reply to me. I know you have become the avatar of cosmic chaos. I know you feel confused and afraid, not knowing how to get rid of this state..."

"Please listen to me, Wanda. When you merged with chaos power, you became part of cosmic rules, but this is not all of you. You have to treat them as a kind of power, a kind of authority. You have to control it..."

Weak responses came from within the chaos of the universe. Strange looked happy, so he continued.

"You can't feel who you are, you don't know where you are, you just want to go home, but you haven't lost your way. This is just the sequelae of drawing too much chaos onto yourself. You are still you, you have to find yourself..."

"Please follow what I say, establish a channel of memory, and find yourself. If you feel confused and blocked, recall the person you love most, call his name, and I will help you..."

The response within chaos rules grew stronger and stronger. Strange could feel something condensing—those were the personality and memory fragments scattered within chaos rules.

"I am chaos... no, I am Wanda..."

"I am Wanda... I am Wanda... Jarvis..."

Autonomous thoughts were like sea tides, pushing one fragment after another to the shore to condense. In the deepest part of cosmic chaos, a flash of scarlet passed, and Wanda's figure gradually condensed.

When the self finally returned, a pair of dazzling red eyes opened, and infinite chaos power was added to her body—Scarlet Witch almost instantly broke through the barrier of the single universe and ascended above the universe.

It was not Scarlet Witch Wanda who ascended, but the chaos avatar who was completely merged with chaos power. At this moment, she became part of cosmic rules like Eternity, and would live and die with the universe.

Chthon finally realized all these changes, but it was too late. He no longer had complete control over chaos rules. Wanda became a more root-level god, which meant the status of god and believer was completely reversed. If Wanda didn't agree, Chthon couldn't even use chaos power.

But the Great Demon Shadow seemed to have expected this long ago. He pursued Wanda crazily because he knew this girl was the origin and end of cosmic chaos. Whoever controlled her could completely control chaos. But if she controlled chaos herself, then what the Great Demon Shadow Chthon had to consider was how to better eat soft rice.

"Sorcerer Supreme, why did you help me?"

Wanda, floating in chaos, had no eyeballs in her hollow eye sockets, only infinite scarlet. At the moment of her ascension, there was no chaos power of Chthon in the universe, only the Scarlet Power of the Scarlet Witch.

"I want to make a deal with you, Wanda. Besides helping you, this is also helping Jarvis..."

"Do you want to use him to threaten me?"

"Absolutely no such intention, just a small request."

Strange felt the magical fluctuations nearby. With a "swish," a portal opened, and several Great Mages flickered.

The moment they landed, countless magical lights rose, and several binding spells pressed Strange to the ground. The leading Holy Sword Mage said angrily.

"Sorcerer Supreme!

You need to rest!

!

!"

And before Strange was knocked unconscious, he could only accelerate his tone and say: "Listen, Wanda, do as I say..."

A few minutes later, in the space filled with thick gray mist, a female voice came from afar, gently reciting a sentence.

"Carcosa... Lake Hali in the Aldebaran system... the dark sun is already hanging high in the sky..."

In the thick scarlet power, a pair of eyes opened, and the patterns of the black sun finally changed again. The information on it was clear.

"Hello, God of Scarlet, Wanda." ===== CHAPTER 1402 =====
