"What the hell is this? A space portal?"
Strucker had some knowledge and ordered the guards to raise their guns at the golden portal. "Stay alert!"
Step.
From the golden portal opened by the Web of Fate, a big man walked out.
He wore a dark green and light green striped T-shirt. Aside from his numb expression, he looked like an ordinary thug...
But.
Strucker wouldn't take William Baker as an ordinary character, given the way he arrived...
"Who are you? Answer immediately!"
He ordered the guards to aim their guns at Sandman: "Or we will open fire immediately!"
Sssshhh... ssshhh...
Sandman moved. His body turned yellow and began to expand rapidly—
"Kill him!"
Strucker sensed something was wrong and immediately ordered his men to fire while he turned and ran!
Da-da-da-da-da!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
No matter the gunfire or the explosions, they had no effect under Sandman's huge body.
Bullets and shrapnel couldn't harm his elementalized body at all.
Boom!! Ennn——!!
With a huge explosion, Sokovia's Central Castle, one of Hydra's bases, was torn open by a giant sandy hand...
Then, bricks and stones crumbled as the entire base began to collapse under Sandman's destruction...
…..
"Whoa."
Pietro drove the sports car onto Tony's private plane, looking around curiously, "To be honest, this is my first time going abroad."
In the front passenger seat, Strange unbuckled and leaned against the window dry-heaving, "All I know is... this is definitely your first time driving... ugh...."
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Stephen!"
Tony, now out of his armor, came over to gloat, "Don't throw up on my plane."
"Ah!"
Ahead, Wanda suddenly exclaimed, face blushing as she turned and grabbed Ye Li's hand, stammering.
"They... you... they...!"
Turns out she had seen those... scantily clad, clearly improper, sexy flight attendants.....
Ye Li hugged her into his arms, quickly distancing himself, "All Tony's doing. Nothing to do with me."
"Really."
Wanda's gaze grew cold, shooting a look at the flamboyant Tony, "Hmph~ As expected, no good guy!"
Stark, that playboy! So outrageous!
Hmph... I can't let him corrupt Ye!
Thinking this, Wanda possessively pulled Ye Li and found a seat far from those bad women.
Ye Li happily complied, flirting and chatting with her in the corner, "Wanda, how old are you~"
"Eighteen! Eighteen! If you ask, it's eighteen!"
Wanda, still with a bit of youthful innocence, blatantly lied. "I can already drink in America~ Are we flying to New York now?"
"No, we are going to Kamar-Taj."
Wu————～
As Ye Li finished speaking, the plane took off from the airport and began ascending.
"Ka...mar-Taj?"
Wanda leaned against the window, watching the ground shrink, somewhat absentmindedly asking.
"What kind of place is that? Why are we going there?"
Ye Li looked at the young girl and understood that leaving her homeland like this would make her uneasy...
So, he shifted her attention by talking about Kamar-Taj———
"Kamar-Taj is located in Kathmandu, Nepal. It's a mysterious place where many seek to learn magic."
"Magic?"
Sure enough, Wanda's attention was caught, "Is that magic?"
"Pretty much."
Ye Li looked into her amber eyes and asked.
"Do you want to learn?"
Wanda's face lit up with joy. "I can learn too?"
Ye Li smiled gently, encouraging the future Scarlet Witch. "Of course, you have great talent."
Wanda said hopefully, "If I learn magic, I'll become an amazing mage like you, right~"
Secretly, the girl thought—If I can also become a mage... maybe I'll be more suited for Ye...'
"Me?"
Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "Shooting those blue energy beams? You'd be far stronger than me."
Not to mention, the Mind Scepter now only contained residual energy from the Space and Mind Stones, with no actual stones embedded in it.
Even if it had the Mind Stone, its power wouldn't match Chaos Magic, which could reach multiversal levels...
What does "multiversal level" mean?
For example.
If the Devourer (Galactus) ate enough and reached his Golden Lifebringer form, he would just barely be multiversal level.
Ye Li only had an ice-based ability, "Absolute Zero," with the potential to reach a single-universe level of power (CBCG).
"Not just shooting energy beams."
Wanda smiled brightly. "I also want to learn how to swing a staff handsomely like you and smack people with it."
Ye Li: "Huh?"
You want to learn melee combat too?
Step, step.
At this moment, Pietro walked into the cabin and was immediately stunned seeing all the scantily-clad beauties——!
"Oh... this...."
The young man was slightly shocked.
His gaze quickly searched for his sister—
Seeing Wanda sitting properly beside Ye Li, fully dressed, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Hmph, such childish behavior."
Pietro adjusted his expression, pretended not to care, and coolly sat elsewhere, doing his best to ignore those white thighs and alluring sights.....
Wanda noticed her brother's behavior and smiled warmly, "Didn't expect Pietro to have such willpower."
Tony raised his eyebrows mischievously, pointing at an obviously "experienced" mature beauty.
"Look at our little pretty boy, he doesn't seem too happy. I think he needs some cheering up~"
The mature beauty immediately understood, picked up a glass of golden liquor, and sat beside Pietro with a seductive smile, "Hey handsome, are you legal yet? Want a drink~"
"Hmph~ don't even think about it."
Pietro glanced sideways at her curvy body and stubbornly said, "I'm not like that scumbag Stark!"
"Hey, watch it, kid."
Tony, sitting down with the mature woman in his arms, said to Pietro,
"You're sitting on my plane."
The silver-haired teenager saw Tony's move and felt a slight sense of loss, turning his head away as if he didn't care.
Rustle, rustle...
At that moment... a hand touched his thigh... It was that mature beauty...
Gulp～
Pietro swallowed nervously, said nothing, and froze like a turtle, pretending nothing happened...
The teen didn't realize———
He had drawn the whole cabin's amused attention, especially from Stark and Strange...
The two grown men almost burst out laughing, finding this more entertaining than any sexy dance.
"So grown up yet still so childish...!"
Seeing her brother being teased, Wanda was about to step in to stop it—
But as soon as she stood up, a strong pair of hands wrapped around her waist and pulled her into an embrace~
Ye Li leaned close to her ear, gently blowing on it, a playful smirk on his lips. "Pietro is enjoying himself~ Let's not disturb him."
The girl shivered from the ticklish sensation, her ears turning bright red. "You... You're all bad people..."
…..
A few minutes later.
"Hehe~ This wine smells so good~"
Pietro's face was already flushed with intoxication, and one of his hands was unconsciously stroking the mature beauty's thigh...
"Hehehe... This wine is so soft... so smooth..."
Wanda, seeing this, got angrier— "Pietro's such an embarrassment, at least try to look decent."
Ye Li chuckled, "Well, he's a hot-blooded young man. It's normal that he can't hold back."
"Like you?"
Wanda pouted, clamping a soft, over-the-knee black silk-clad leg around a wandering hand.
The girl lifted her soft hands and lightly smacked Ye Li's hand, "Bad guy..... stop touching... stop touching..."
