Chapter 4846

"When are the witches arriving?" Steve looked toward Wanda. This matter obviously could no longer wait. Hurry up and bring that so-called Seven over. We can't give them another chance to reproduce.

"If you're in a hurry, I brought them over this morning." Wanda said.

"Then I'll contact the Interstellar Council first." Greedy said, "They'll get the news and surely rush over without delay."

Upon learning the situation in New Salem, Coulson obviously couldn't sit still either. He spent the night contacting Nick. The Avengers also need to get ready. These seven superpowered individuals are also a force not to be underestimated. They will definitely take action.

Everyone returned to their rooms with their own thoughts. Greedy prepared a guest room for Sarah as well. Sarah is a very gentle young lady, her speech carrying a faint Southern accent. She thanked them, then took her newborn baby back to her room.

Greedy watched her retreating figure. By rights, this should be a very good ending. A girl who once suffered violence, reborn as a ghost, and even rekindled the life of her child. This could hardly be better.

The only problem is, Sarah was only eighteen when she was alive, still just a young lady. Her estimate for raising a child is not very accurate. Otherwise she would absolutely not have turned Blake back into a baby held in arms.

Just as dawn broke, everyone had slept less than two hours. The sharp cries of the baby woke them again.

Everyone rushed to the living room and then saw Sarah helplessly holding the crying baby, trying to soothe him. Actually it wasn't soothing, just holding him and saying: "Don't cry, Brie, don't cry..."

Stark hurried forward and snatched the baby into his arms. Then Steve came up close behind him. The two unfolded Blake's swaddling clothes and saw that Blake wasn't even wearing a diaper, having already wet the swaddling. Moreover, it had been three or four hours since they returned, and Blake hadn't eaten anything yet.

"Good God." Stark said, "You hold him for a while, I'll go back to the house to get diapers."

Steve quickly took the child from his hands, turned to Bucky and said: "Bucky, go ask Shiler if he has any new blankets or something, this swaddling is dirty, needs to be changed quickly. Otherwise it's easy to get a rash."

At this moment Wanda also rushed down from upstairs, took the baby from Steve's hands, checked him briefly, sighed and said: "This child is starving. I'll take him to feed first. You guys hurry and go buy baby supplies."

Steve then remembered that Wanda had just given birth to a little girl not long ago, so she should still be in her lactation period. Of course even if she weren't, the Scarlet Witch should also be able to use her Scarlet Power to nourish him, no big problem.

After Wanda took the child away, several people scrambled to throw the dirty swaddling into the washing machine, then rummaged through boxes and cabinets looking for new swaddling.

But obviously it wasn't that simple. The indoor temperature was still fine for adults and older kids, not feeling cold. But for a small baby, it might not be enough. Natasha wanted to stoke the fireplace higher, but found there was no firewood.

"Go chop some in the back woods." Greedy said while rummaging through his gray mist storage, "I also don't have baby supplies. Others go together to the supermarket to shop. Remember to bring back a baby crib."

Greedy indeed had stored many things. But after his friends had their children, at least during infancy they rarely brought them out to move around. When they did bring them out, mostly they could already run and jump. Greedy indeed didn't have things for such a small child.

Sarah looked a bit at a loss. Fortunately, she wasn't really pregnant and giving birth, her body not weak. She walked over and asked: "Is there anything I can help with?"

"I'll teach you how to change diapers later." Steve said, "Oh, right, also how to mix formula, wipe and change the baby's clothes…… I don't want to say this, but, Young Lady, if there's a possibility of turning him back, I think you should seriously consider it. Babies are really hard to raise."

The fathers present all felt deeply sympathetic. And those without children, obviously through their friends' experiences had seen the power of babies, and kindly advised Sarah. But unfortunately, just like all children in this world, once born, there's no turning back, no regret possible.

"I'm afraid it can't be done." Sarah said, "Very sorry for troubling you all. I'll find a way to move somewhere else."

"That won't do." Natasha said, "Babies are very fragile. If you don't master the correct method, he might die. Before you learn these skills, you'd better stay here."

After all this busyness, Greedy also wasn't sleepy anymore. He made some food for the others, then pulled Strange aside: "How can we get this child a household registration on Earth?"

Strange raised an eyebrow. Greedy said: "That old devil Mephisto will surely come to fight for custody."

"This child has nothing to do with him." Strange said impatiently, "The raw material is the sin here, Sarah gave him a soul, and rebirthed him. What right does Mephisto have to come and fight?"

"Because Blake has already become a true human. Mephisto has always dreamed of having a human son. Otherwise why would he turn Blackheart into a human and send him back to Earth?"

Strange frowned. He said: "The previous Blake was also no different from a human. So what's the difference between this baby and the previous one? How did you suddenly think of giving him an Earth identity?"

"The previous Blake was already an adult. He grew up in Mephisto's hell dimension, what good education could he get? Even if his appearance looked no different from a human, his core was still a demon. Otherwise could he have caused trouble in New Salem together with Nicholas?"

"But this baby is different." Greedy said, "He has no memory, completely a blank slate, can be educated. Of course we need to give him a new identity."

"How do you know he has no memory?"

"If he did, arrogance would definitely notice." Greedy said, "If his soul had abnormalities, the Scarlet Witch would also detect it. How would Wanda still go feed and nurse him then?"

Strange thought for a moment, then said: "Alright, I'll handle his identity. If Mephisto dares to come for the child, I'll chop off his claws."

After Strange left, Greedy breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, ordinary human social identity is easy to handle, the key is must obtain the Sorcerer Supreme's recognition. As long as Strange acknowledges this child is human, then he falls under the Sorcerer Supreme's protection. Mephisto would have no way to snatch him back to Earth no matter what.

Whether humans have such a child or not isn't important, but Mephisto not having such a child is very important. What he's plotting, Greedy doesn't need to think to know.

With the Interstellar Council relocating to the Milky Way, Earth has gradually relaxed residency conditions for non-human life, which has its benefits. Mephisto needs a stronger reason to interfere with Earth, so that's why he turned Blackheart back into a human.

A son being human, if he encounters anything on Earth, gives a stronger and more powerful reason to intervene in Earth's affairs. And his putting on an act of avoiding responsibility is precisely to numb the Sorcerer Supreme.

It's just a pity that Sarah is not an ordinary evil spirit. She seems to know she has a child, and has stayed here waiting for her child. And when Blake returned, Sarah rebirthed him, turning him into a truly memory-less human infant.

As long as we can keep this human infant on Earth to grow up, then he and Mephisto will have not the slightest relation. Mephisto's calculations will also come to nothing.

So Greedy went to try to persuade Strange, because he knows Strange is a bit fastidious in this regard. He basically follows the one-drop principle: as long as there's one drop of non-Earth blood, it's not human.

Fortunately, although it was Mephisto who awakened the sin of the King's Crown region, this sin is entirely human sin, unrelated to devils and aliens. So Strange also reluctantly acknowledged Blake's race.

At this time the shopping squad that went out also returned. They bought many baby supplies, including diapers, formula, talcum powder, swaddling, baby cradles and so on.

The fireplace finally lit up. The room became somewhat warm, so everyone changed into thinner pajamas. The children didn't like staying cooped up indoors, all dressed thickly and went out to play in the backyard.

Wanda finished feeding Blake. Steve hand-in-hand taught Sarah how to change diapers, how to mix formula, and how to feed. And at this time, Wanda took another call and went out.

Not long after, she came back carrying a large pile of things. Greedy walked over and looked, it was exactly the reagents for cleaning the swimming pool.

Wanting to clean the pool manually is indeed a hassle. But the kids really want to swim. Greedy thinks it's still better to clean it out first.

"Oh, no." Wanda said, "Even if it's a constant-temperature pool, the current temperature isn't suitable for swimming, one might easily catch a cold..."

"No no no, ma'am." Natasha said, "Winter swimming is good for the body. Appropriate cold exposure can boost immunity. I understand this."

"Come on, Mom, we're not ordinary people." The twins shouted, "Winter swimming is so cool. I can go show off to my schoolmates, I once swam a lap back and forth in snowy weather."

"Yeah, I still want to go swim in the sea..."

"Hold on!" Natasha hurriedly shouted at them, "You can't swim in the sea!"

Hearing the kids want to swim in the sea, the adults who originally didn't quite approve of the kids swimming in the pool in this weather also all began cleaning the pool in a flurry. Still, the swimming pool is good, at least you won't swim and swim and have a Lei Ting grass carp swimming alongside you.

Cleaning the pool cannot start by draining the pool water, but must first add some reagents to the current water, let it sit for a while, then drain half the water, add some more reagents, and finally drain completely.

After the water is drained, then have someone go down with a brush specially for cleaning pools, and brush the pool from top to bottom several times. This is the hardest step, because this pool is not small, also requires changing cleaning agents, and brushing several times.

The kids are very enthusiastic about this. They really love such labor. Wanda stood by the poolside and shouted at them: "Put on your boots and gloves properly. Those reagents are corrosive..."

Greedy wanted to remind her of this, but it was already too late. Sarah, who had just finished changing Blake's diaper and swaddling, visibly stiffened, then fled as if flying.

Wanda also realized she had misspoken, sucked in a breath of cold air, wanting to chase after, but Greedy stopped her: "I am a professional psychologist, let me handle it."

Greedy had long noticed that Sarah indeed needs psychological counseling. It's not that transforming her life form could completely erase the previous psychological shadows. Having suffered such a great disaster, she indeed needs proper treatment.

And after Sarah absorbed most of the supernatural energy, Hampton's blockade was finally lifted. Dark clouds dispersed, snow also stopped. Although the temperature the next day had somewhat dropped, the weather was unbelievably clear. This made many Hampton residents think that the curse that had ruled them for hundreds of years had finally ended.

In a sense it's not wrong. Supernatural power indeed eased things considerably. But then came greater trouble. At this moment, on Hampton's east side, a luxurious motorcade slowly drove over. While on the west side forest, a group of people dressed somewhat shabbily also walked out from the Scarlet Portal.
