Chapter 4097

"Aunt Wanda! Aunt Wanda! Over here!!!" A young, childish voice rang out in the chaotic dark space. Franklin jumped out of the portal and grabbed Wanda's arm, wanting to pull her back. But Wanda seemed to be interfered with by something; she kept shaking her head and retreating, calling out the names of Jarvis and her two sons in her mouth.

"Billy, Tommy, come over and see your mother!" Franklin shouted toward the portal somewhat anxiously, "She seems to be having a nightmare; you guys hurry and wake her up; we have to leave here quickly, otherwise it will be bad if that big guy comes over!"

The Billy brothers rushed out of the portal quickly. Billy concentrated his mind and suddenly saw the nightmare scene in Wanda's brain. In her nightmare, all the happy life she currently possessed was fake, just an illusion she had created with Scarlet Force. And after the illusion was shattered, she was all alone, with nothing left.

"Mom! We are real, not fake! Wake up quickly; we have to leave here quickly!!"

"This won't work," Tommy said, "I'll do it! Mom!! Someone is hitting us!! Help!!!"

Maybe it was because he howled too miserably, Wanda woke up with a start, almost shouting with fire in her eyes: "Who? Who is hitting my son?!"

"God, you finally woke up. Hurry and go!" Billy shouted anxiously, "This place has already become a nightmare realm; if we don't leave, we'll be swallowed by the nightmare!"

Wanda was a bit dazed at first, but soon recalled what she was doing, and then she said somewhat anxiously: "No, your grandfather, uncle, and aunt are still here! Hurry and find them!"

"Uncle has already returned to Battleworld," Billy said, "He couldn't withstand the explosion and had already sent us a message before. Grandfather should be in front; let's go find him."

"And your aunt! Polaris? Have you seen her?"

The two brothers looked at each other and both shook their heads. But soon Franklin came over and said: "Hurry, there's another living one here, seems to be from the world next door."

"Then should we save him?"

"Save him first. People swallowed by the nightmare realm will also increase that guy's power; save as many as we can!"

Wanda quickly flew in the direction he pointed, and then saw Arkham Knight lying quietly in the darkness, his brows tightly furrowed, seemingly also having some kind of nightmare, his hand kept scratching the side of his face, almost scratching it until it was bloody.

Wanda quickly went over to press his hand and slapped him awake. The moment Arkham Knight woke up, he shouted: "No! Schiller!!"

"What?" Wanda was very surprised.

Arkham Knight took a deep breath, and soon realized what had happened. He coughed twice, reached out and pulled out the energy device on his back, then said: "Your sister."

Wanda took the energy device and was a bit dazed, then soon heard Polaris's voice, and she said: "I'm not dead, but I'm almost out of power. Magneto is over there."

Wanda helped Arkham Knight up and hurried to fly in the direction he pointed. Erik was indeed lying over there. He seemed to be deep in a nightmare, muttering words like "coal ash" and "newspaper" in his mouth. As soon as Wanda heard it, she knew he must be dreaming about life in the concentration camp, because Erik was responsible for shoveling coal ash when he was in the concentration camp.

She quickly woke Erik up. After Erik woke up, he soon recovered his memory. Wanda looked at Franklin and said: "How do we leave?"

"Use the portal to leave," Franklin said, "You guys go first; I still have to search around to see if there are any survivors. That guy will gain the abilities of everyone swallowed by the nightmare realm; if a few Omega-level mutants die in there, there will be no way to fight."

"No, you're too small; I have to stay and accompany you." Wanda said.

Franklin shook his head and said: "Your Scarlet Force and his power are at most on the same level; there's no way to open a portal. I use the source creation power to be able to go unimpeded. If the two of us get separated, that will be trouble. Hurry and go, Aunt!"

Wanda was determined not to leave; her reason was also very sufficient; no matter how you put it, Franklin wasn't even three years old, and throwing such a small child on the battlefield was absolutely not okay.

"You said it yourself, anyway my power and his are on the same level; if he swallows me, it's at most a bit more energy; I can still be resurrected in Battleworld. Stop talking nonsense, hurry and go save people."

Franklin couldn't win against her, so he had to search and rescue with her in the surrounding area. They really saved a few mutants, including Iceman from some universe and White Queen in crystal state. Both of these people survived by transforming their life forms, but obviously they were also trapped in nightmares, and it took some effort to wake them up.

After turning around twice and finding no one else, they originally planned to retreat, but suddenly saw two figures flying in this direction. Wanda held Franklin and stood in place waiting; it wasn't until the two figures flew closer that she discovered they were actually Superman.

"Hello, ma'am. Did you encounter any trouble?" The leader flew over and said.

"I'm fine. Where did you come from? You..." Wanda didn't remember seeing them in the previous battle to besiege Nightmare.

"We were caught by Professor X and have been looking for a way in the dream world, then somehow flew into this black world. Can you take us out?"

Wanda just wanted to speak, but Franklin patted her gently and whispered: "If it's that batch of caught Supermen, they will treat us as enemies; after all, we are still fighting."

Wanda immediately became vigilant and took two steps back. Sure enough, the next second, an X-ray beam hit over. Wanda retreated at high speed and said to Franklin: "Were they swallowed by the nightmare?"

"Should be. The real Superman might have already died; these are the nightmare phantoms they left behind."

"Just like the morbid ones before?"

"Right. If we are swallowed, our phantoms will also stay here, and possess a part of our power, attacking other living life here, and then swallow them."

"God, why is he so strong?"

"The Dream Force of our universe combined with a certain source dark power of the opposite universe, which means this is nightmare power very close to the universe source, almost able to erode everyone whose status is not as high as it. Even for someone like you who is on the same level as him, once there is a flaw in the spirit, it's easy to fall for his tricks."

"This damn Nightmare!" Wanda cursed, "Seeing he couldn't do it himself, he gave the power to Darkseid. Also, where did that mysterious dark power come from? Don't let me catch the culprit..."

Franklin in her arms rolled his eyes; he obviously knew something, but didn't dare to say. Until he turned around the whole circle and ran into several more nightmare phantoms, confirming there were no survivors, Franklin opened the portal and left.

They returned to the Asgard base, but as soon as they came back, they heard Steve say: "The nightmare realm has spread here; we have to go."

Wanda walked over quickly and said: "What's going on, the nightmare realm can still spread?"

Stark also walked out of the conference room, and after taking off his goggles, he said: "The situation is not optimistic. The nightmare realm is currently spreading outward at a speed of about one light-year per hour; it won't be long before the entire galaxy there will be swallowed, and then other galaxies. We are not safe here either; let's go back to Earth."

"By the way," Captain America turned to Wanda and said, "The Andromeda Galaxy is not safe either; notify the mutants to retreat collectively; let's go back to Earth first."

Wanda frowned, but had to nod, and then heard Steve say to Stark: "We don't have many people left here; the command center's meaning is to join forces with Batman, but they don't have many people left either..."

Wanda returned to the Andromeda Galaxy; a portion of mutants were still left here, but they were not very good at fighting. The more powerful mutants were lost. However, Legion and his group of strange personalities were still there, especially the strongest personalities like the Great Spider, the Prophet, and "X," as well as David himself, who was known as the mutant God, were all fine. And that big dinosaur that could manipulate time was abducted by the Bat-Tyrant of the dark multiverse; the two dragons were now on Batman's side.

"What do we do next?" David asked. After receiving psychological treatment for a period of time, his mental state looked much better, but to prevent deterioration, he still wasn't allowed to fight.

"Go back to Earth first," Wanda said, "We might have to merge with Batman, otherwise we won't be able to deal with that Darkseid who can manipulate nightmares. And, he should have become a multiverse-level existence; we have to see what other universes say."

"Then what about the Andromeda Galaxy, just give it up like this?"

"Darkseid's primary goal is to deal with Batman; there's no need to stare at us. Besides, we aren't here; him destroying this place is useless. On the contrary, if we stay here, we might be targeted by him; after all, he can gain power by swallowing people in the nightmare realm; if he eats us all, who else can stop him?"

Other mutants also realized this point. Although Darkseid was schemed against by Batman, which led to the loss of Apokolips, it was their mutants who took action, so the two sides could be considered to have formed a feud. And the mutants' abilities were truly too powerful; for an existence that could swallow others' abilities and make them its own, it was simply a rare delicacy; if they didn't run fast, they would definitely be chased and gnawed on.

Thus, the mutants hurried to pack their things and run. Don't look at them having just experienced a big battle, with their power consumed almost to nothing, but even with this little power left, it was enough to pack up all the valuable things in the Andromeda Galaxy. Franklin even dragged the capital floating island away directly and put it into his pocket universe. Wanda also packed everything else with Scarlet Force.

This process was ridiculously fast, because they had already practiced it before. After all, they were pirates, and they would go out to rob and plunder when they had nothing to do, making it easy for people to find their home; their speed of running was not ordinary, even returning to Earth earlier than Asgard's superheroes.

Nick was also stunned when he saw them come back first, but soon breathed a sigh of relief, because he also realized that if Nightmare Darkseid really swallowed the mutants, then the multiverse would truly be hopeless.

Then immediately after were the remaining portion of superheroes from the Asgard base; although there weren't many left, they all came back. Everyone gathered in the S. H. I. E. L. D. conference room. Nick cleared his throat and spoke first: "That guy's first target should be Batman; they can still hold on for a while; we have to solve Asgard's problem first, then cooperate with Batman, and kill that big guy first."

"Did he really become multiverse level?" Doom asked in disbelief, "Just because of Nightmare's counterattack before he died?"

"I'm afraid so, but you also know this matter definitely has hidden details, so don't ask in detail." Nick wished he could write the words "don't wash dirty linen in public" on his face; that expression meant "can you not know who is causing trouble behind the scenes?"

The few people from the center universe in their seats fell silent tacitly. Nick continued: "Now the main problem Asgard is facing is no longer the two major empires, but that group of big bugs. However, fortunately, the entrance to the antimatter universe was created by us and can be closed at any time, but before closing it, we have to clear the bugs around it first. Now listen to my order, three in a group..."

Nick began to assign tasks. Basically everyone received tasks; those with group attack capabilities went to clear bugs, and those without picked up corpses in the back. After all, they still had to research antimatter batteries, and cleaning the battlefield was an indispensable link.

"That... Mist-Guest, you are responsible for the logistics group," Nick named him and said, "Take the Symbiote Agent and the Flerken with you, and clean up as cleanly as possible. Asgard helped us quite a bit this time; don't let them pick out any faults."

The figure in the black top hat nodded. Stark and Strange couldn't help but roll their eyes in unison. You let Greed go lick the bags; you two are looking at the Immortal Palace, preparing to pack it up and bring it back, right?
