Chapter 2265: Gotham Music Festival (Part 13)

Schiller looked at Professor X with some surprise and said: "Is this the meaning I think it is?"

Professor X smiled and nodded, saying: "However, it's not through normal methods. Jarvis is infertile, but they thought of a way."

Wanda seemed to hear Professor X and Schiller discussing her, so she looked at Schiller and gave him a sly smile.

The matter has to start from Battleworld. After Wanda entered Battleworld, she very coincidentally met herself from another universe. However, it was also somewhat unfortunate that the Wanda from that universe had just lost her lover, that is, the Vision of her universe.

Logically speaking, at this time, Wanda could destroy the world easily, but after being pulled into Battleworld, her ability derived from Scarlet Power could not be used here, giving her a period of calm.

Finally meeting a younger version of herself, this Wanda hurriedly grabbed the Wanda from Schiller's universe and explained how to avoid Vision's death, because she knew that in the vast majority of universes, their fates were the same.

This older Scarlet Witch outputted a lot, leaving Wanda stunned. Then she had to introduce her own situation: her lover was not some Vision, but Jarvis. Although he had something to do with the Mind Stone, he was generally a robot and occasionally had to return to Stark Tower for repairs.

Although this was indeed a bit troublesome, it also meant that Jarvis had countless backup consciousnesses. If the body was broken, he could just build another one.

However, the Scarlet Witch was still worried. She was worried that if all backup consciousnesses were destroyed, Jarvis would still be effectively dead. Even if he were recreated by Stark in the end, he wouldn't be the original one.

She said this, which also made Wanda feel a bit anxious. So after returning to the camp, she discussed this matter with Jarvis.

Jarvis gave her an unexpected answer: his backup consciousnesses didn't just exist in machines. Among them, the two safest consciousnesses, one existed in the Iron God's mind, and the other was placed in Schiller's Tower of Mind.

If there was anyone who could kill both of them at the same time, then what Wanda should consider at that time probably wouldn't be Jarvis's death.

Hearing him say this, Wanda felt a little relieved. But the counterpart she met before made her curious about the experiences of herself in other universes. Unfortunately, they were in the game at the time and really didn't have time to say too much.

But afterwards, Wanda participated in the game continuously, just to meet other versions of herself. The God of Probability still favored her, and afterwards, she really met some other versions of herself.

Through communication with these counterparts, Wanda roughly completed her life experiences in other universes. If one had to say what the biggest difference between her and them was, besides her lover being Jarvis instead of Vision, it was their control over Scarlet Power.

After returning from some universes controlled by Outer Gods, Wanda clearly realized that she was the master of Chaos Power, not some apostle of Chthon. After figuring this out, Wanda became the incarnation of Scarlet Power, and her combination with her power reached an unprecedented level.

Wanda didn't know how strong she was, but she always had a feeling that this power would be able to completely change reality, and even ignore certain cosmic rules.

But the crises revealed by the previous Scarlet Witch from her words about the experiences of her universe still made Wanda feel a bit worried. She wasn't sure if the power she mastered could handle these troubles. Even if Jarvis had so many backup consciousnesses, what if?

Jarvis noticed Wanda's abnormality and kept guiding her to speak her mind. Wanda rambled for a long time, and Jarvis only understood the general idea.

Although he didn't fully understand, Jarvis's psychological and behavioral analysis module told him that Wanda's current situation was not right.

Wanda and Pietro, this pair of siblings, had been drifting, never having a real place to stay. They couldn't form a family with Magneto or Polaris and others now. They had always lacked a sense of belonging.

But Wanda gradually found a sense of security from Jarvis. That was something she had never possessed before, so she was particularly obsessed and very devoted.

But this would lead to all her attention being invested in Jarvis. If Jarvis had any slight movement, Wanda would be anxious, and even because of Jarvis's problems, her relationship with Magneto became increasingly stiff, just because Wanda always imagined Magneto wanted to kill Jarvis.

Jarvis could completely empathize with Wanda's pain, because in the past, her surroundings were full of uncertain factors, most of which were brought by Magneto. He would suddenly rush into Wanda's life and mess everything up, and now Wanda had things she must protect. She absolutely could not allow him to do that again.

Seeing that the great battle between the two was imminent, Jarvis knew he had to do something to divert Wanda's attention.

So he proposed such a theory: death is actually very difficult to avoid. Anyone has a day when they walk toward the end. But the part he is most interested in about this race of humans, which has a short lifespan but can flourish to this day, is the way they reproduce.

Wanda was shocked by this statement. Although her boyfriend is a robot, he is actually more reasonable than most people, and he doesn't lack romance. But perhaps due to the gap in life forms, he often appears very subtle. Wanda never dreamed that Jarvis would say such straightforward words.

Under Jarvis's explanation, Wanda finally reacted: the way of reproducing offspring didn't refer to certain sports, but having children.

This made Wanda feel surprised. Wanda likes children very much. Becoming a mother is one of her important life goals, and it has been her primary goal for a long time.

She wants a big house, to have 3-4 children, form a big family with her partner, stay together noisily every day, and live that kind of perfect, warm life that only appears in TV dramas. Damn mutants, power struggles—it's best they never appear in her life again.

However, after falling in love with Jarvis, Wanda considered carefully whether this goal of hers was too idealistic. She wasn't sure if a robot could accept this kind of day-after-day life without passion.

Perhaps he could endure the current life because he loves her, but regarding children, Wanda knows better than anyone that children can completely see through whether you are enduring the current life. Then your state will become something they increasingly don't want. They will deliberately distance themselves from you and absolutely don't want to become you. This is very scary.

Education is simply not such a simple matter. Wanda had personal experience, so she was extra cautious. Although she had been thinking about living a peaceful life until she was crazy, she still slowed down her pace as much as possible, waiting for Jarvis to take that step.

She thought this would take at least several years, because Jarvis is indeed too busy now. The solar system development plan has too much work waiting for him to do. Even if he is really a phone, he is a well-deserved hotline.

So, Jarvis taking the initiative to propose wanting children at this time, how could it not make Wanda overjoyed? Forget about weddings and honeymoons for now; tickets can be made up later. She couldn't wait to become a mother.

This move by Jarvis was too useful. Wanda immediately diverted her attention from him and Magneto to the child who might come.

Because she knew that the first time might encounter all kinds of troubles, Wanda made full preparations. Besides material preparations, she consulted Professor X about prenatal education and signed up for adult university courses, preparing to self-study child psychology.

But at this time, an embarrassing thing happened. After Jarvis told Stark that they were preparing to have a child, Stark told Jarvis a somewhat disappointing news: Jarvis actually has no fertility.

In fact, Stark can already fully create artificial sperm. If Jarvis is willing, putting some samples into his body to go through the motions is fine. But the biggest problem is that Jarvis has no genes, so essentially this process is still a bit similar to an artificial human, rather than human reproduction.

Jarvis is unwilling to do so, because this would make Wanda look like the mother of that kind of technological product used for surrogacy. If an artificial womb could complete it, that would be a very disrespectful behavior for Wanda.

After learning this news, Wanda was like being splashed with a basin of cold water. The previously high enthusiasm was instantly extinguished.

She thought she should have thought of it long ago. Jarvis is not human after all. His life structure is vastly different from humans. The simplest point is that he doesn't need genes at all, and genes are an important symbol of human inheritance. Without genes, inheritance has no meaning.

After the matter reached a stalemate, the two welcomed a visitor who surprised them, and that was the Sorcerer Supreme, Strange.

The reason why Jarvis was surprised was that Strange clearly stated that Stark asked him to come. Jarvis knew that Stark and Strange had always been at odds. Their personalities destined them to be unable to become friends. Maintaining a stable colleague relationship was already a blessing.

Unexpectedly, for Jarvis's sake, Stark begged Strange. Stark didn't beg people sincerely many times in his life, and most of them were for Jarvis.

And Strange did bring good news. From a scientific level, Jarvis cannot reproduce offspring because he is not a natural creation. Then his children can only be carefully designed like him, but Wanda and Jarvis both think doing so is meaningless.

Strange proposed another angle. Although the scientific path doesn't work, magic might work. Jarvis has no genes, but he has a soul.

After Jarvis possessed his current body, he was no longer just a program. In terms of magic, he was closer to a natural creation, so naturally, one could consider starting from this aspect.

Strange explained to the two what human reproduction is actually about from the perspective of magic. In short, when souls collide and communicate, they will first conceive a group of chaotic qi, gradually merging into a brand-new energy.

The resonance of the father's and mother's souls will ignite the soul's flame for the child. After the initial fire is lit, the smoke burned by the energy will gradually constitute the child's soul.

Since Jarvis and Wanda both have souls, using this method to conceive a child is the best.

The joy of regaining what was lost completely occupied Wanda's brain. She was even more active than before, busy starting to ask Strange how to use this method to create a child.

Now it was Strange's turn to be embarrassed. He hummed for a long time, and finally could only indicate to Wanda that he hadn't given birth to a child, so how would he know how to operate it. ===== CHAPTER 2266 =====
