Chapter 374-Awakening
Casillas is really dead!
The next day, when everyone woke up, they learned from Friday's report that the pile of rotten meat on the ground showed no signs of resurrection.

"How is the situation at Casillas' home?"

"His family has called the police and is looking for him, but there are no signs of him resurrecting," Friday reported in a serious tone.

"In other words, only those who died within the city limits will be resurrected? Or is there something special about the child who died before that can trigger the rewriting of the rules of the Reality Stone?" Steve frowned as he flipped through the previous detailed investigation information.

"It's unknown for now." Rhodes, who was on duty, stretched his body and stretched his muscles. "But we have already investigated the child and all the family members very thoroughly. There is nothing suspicious. Therefore, the biggest possibility is that the Reality Gem has set up automatic rewriting rules throughout the town to maintain the status quo of the town."

"In other words, Wanda also triggered the established rules and had her mind rewritten because she wanted to leave?"

"Probably."

"So Casillas was also modified by the Reality Stone, so he lost his magical abilities?" Thinking of the heinous crimes Casillas had committed, Steve always felt that something was wrong, and the sense of incongruity was very strong.

"This..." Wang pondered for a long time before slowly shaking his head. "I'm not sure. Because I can't find the reason why he came here. Magic is dangerous. Once magic fails and backlash occurs, anything can happen. I can't be sure whether Casillas used the Reality Stone to perform a magic ritual here, but it is also possible that the failure of the ritual led to the current result."

"If it was caused by a magic ritual, shouldn't the ritual stop if the host died?" Professor Hulk asked puzzledly.

"It depends on the specific content of the magic ceremony. It cannot be generalized. Generally, if the host of a magic ceremony is killed, it will automatically stop. This is because the magic ceremony requires the host to provide magic power. Without the magic power supplier, the magic ceremony cannot continue. But if the magic ceremony has another source of magic power, such as the Reality Gem, the ceremony can continue automatically and will not end due to the loss of the host."

"That is to say, even if Casillas dies, we can't be sure whether the abnormality in this town was caused by him?"

"Yes, I can only say that there is a strong suspicion, but it cannot be finally confirmed."

"Then can you find the existence of the magic circle?"

"Unfortunately, there is no trace." A hint of shame appeared on Wang's honest face.

"So what kind of magic circle do you think can achieve this effect? ​​If you were asked to set up a magic circle in a town, where would you choose to set it up?"

"Hmm... the key to achieving this effect is not the magic circle, but the reality gem. The magic circle only activates the power of the reality gem to achieve the goal. As far as I know, there are at least dozens of magic circles that can do this. Moreover, this town is not a magic node like Greenwich City, so it doesn't matter where the magic circle is placed."

"Is that so..." Steve pondered for a long time, then asked, "Can you ask the Supreme Sorcerer to come and take a look? Of course, I don't have any doubts about your ability, but the Supreme Sorcerer has the Time Stone in his hand, and maybe he can find more clues by reversing time."

"No need to explain, we are friends, and I'm not that sensitive." Wang was very easy to talk to. He immediately took out his phone and called Gu Yi, but Gu Yi did not answer the call.

The king put down the phone and shrugged, "Unfortunately, the Supreme Sorcerer has rejected it."

"Well, maybe she's just busy. Try calling again later?"

"No, the Supreme Sorcerer never does anything unnecessary. She didn't answer the phone. There must be a reason for that. It's just that we ordinary people can't understand it."

"Well, then we can only rely on ourselves." Steve curled his lips, really unable to understand. He looked around, "Does anyone have any good ideas?"

Everyone discussed quietly for a while, then Professor Hulk looked up and said:

"We used magic to force Casillas out of the town before, and it seems that it did not trigger the rewriting rules in the town, so he died outside the town and cannot be resurrected."

"That means the rules of the Reality Gem are only valid for people in the town, and external interference can allow people to escape from the town."

"I have an idea. We can use the magic portal to transport all the residents in the town out, empty the town first, and then see if it will trigger the rewriting of the rules of the Reality Stone."

"Moreover, when there are no hostages in the town, we can search freely and even destroy the entire town. Even if there is a magic circle hidden in a remote corner, it will definitely not be able to continue to operate if the town is destroyed."

"This is a good idea!" Everyone agreed.

"If no one dies, we can test whether it is really Casillas's magic circle that caused this."

"If the Reality Stone is still not found after the town is destroyed, then it should have nothing to do with Casillas."

"As long as there are no casualties, everything will be fine. At worst, after we get the Reality Stone, we can help them rebuild their homes."

"If it wasn't caused by the magic circle, then the destruction of the town would still trigger the rewriting of the rules of the Reality Stone, and the town would return to its original state without the need for reconstruction."

"In short, why not give it a try first, see the feedback and then make further adjustments."

Everyone present was a practical person, and once they had found a good method, they immediately started discussing the details.

"It shouldn't be difficult to transfer the people out, but where to put them is a problem. There must be at least 800,000 people in this town, right?"

"How about we rebuild a town for them not far from the outskirts of town? With Nebula here, it should be very quick."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Nebula. As the magnetic field architect of the Eighty Heavens, wouldn't it be easy and enjoyable to build a city?
Nebula rolled her eyes and glanced at Clint who came up with this bad idea. "I think we should move them all to the super battleship in outer space. It's very spacious there now, and it can accommodate several times more people."

"That's a good idea." Clint smiled awkwardly and turned to look at Wang. "It's just that we have to open millions of space gates. I'm afraid it will be a bit harder for Wang." Wang was a kind and honest man and had no objection to this. "Don't worry about me. I can transfer all the mages in the temple here. Thousands of people can cast spells together. It will take at most a few days to transfer everyone here."

"First transfer the people from the city hall over and let them be responsible for the resettlement of personnel to avoid chaos." Natasha reminded.

"If we don't have enough manpower, we can call Wanda and Pietro over as well. I'm sure they'll be willing to help."

After everyone finished discussing, they began to carry out specific division of labor.

The king is responsible for organizing the temple mages to carry out the mass migration of people, because the people in the town will be affected by the reality gem and will not be willing to leave the town, so the mages can only forcibly send them over through the portal;
Natasha was responsible for assisting the king and assigning mages to various areas to prevent too many teleported people from gathering in a certain area, causing congestion or group riots;
Friday is responsible for accurately locating all personnel and providing information support to the magician team. At the same time, he must cooperate with the personnel of the City Hall to explain and resettle the relocated citizens. He must also monitor the movements of people in each residential area and provide feedback at any time.
Rod and Scott were responsible for preparing food, drinking water, and the collection and distribution of daily necessities for these transferred personnel;

Professor Hulk is responsible for monitoring the energy fluctuations within the town during the entire migration process, always paying attention to whether the rewriting rules of the Reality Stone have been triggered;
Rocket was responsible for patrolling the area with his robot guards to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation to steal or make a zero-dollar purchase.

Nebula is the fastest and is responsible for providing mobility support to various locations, ready to respond to any crisis at any time;
Steve served as the commander-in-chief, sitting in the center and making dispatches.

Everything was ready, and everyone took action.

Lao Wang first called all the temples, explained the situation clearly, and agreed on a time for all the temples to gather all the magicians. Then the space door opened, and Lao Wang went over for a while and brought a group of magicians over.

On Friday, the use of personnel had already been planned, and Natasha led them to disperse to various areas, preparing to start the large-scale migration of personnel.

The first people to be transferred were Wanda and her brother, as well as the government officials and civil servants from the city hall.

The first group was relatively small in number and they were the staff responsible for specific migration matters, so Steve explained everything to them personally.

Although Captain America's brand is very bright and his credibility is very high, it is still difficult for everyone to believe that they live in a controlled and fake environment. However, there is one good thing about people who are mixed in the system, that is, they know the current situation. No matter whether they really believe it or not, as long as they are willing to cooperate, there will be no problem.

Pietro looked excited and was obviously very interested in participating in such an exciting event, but his sister Wanda was a bit weird, hesitant and at a loss. Although she was a little absent-minded, Wanda still completed the task assigned to her by the Avengers very well.

The subsequent migration went very smoothly. Although the citizens were very dissatisfied with being forcibly taken away from their homes, they immediately had a happy party on the super battleship after receiving a gold bar as a gift. All food and drinks were free. Where else in the world could you find a place more like heaven than this?
It only took two or three days for all the citizens to be transferred to the super battleship. There was no one in the town below. In order to satisfy the citizens, they even brought their pets up. Looking down from the sky, the whole town was empty.

To prevent any accidents, Rocket activated a high-power scanning device and scanned the town several times, but found no signs of life. In addition, no new citizens had appeared in the town in the past few days.

After confirming that the town was empty, Steve finally gave the order, "Nebula, it's up to you. Destroy the town completely. Blast all the buildings and the ground into pieces. The smaller the better. Let's see if the thing that affects the town and rewrites the state of existence of the citizens is the magic circle created by Casillas."

Nebula didn't waste any time and jumped out of the super battleship and headed towards Sokovia below.

Everyone in the command center was watching the high-definition images on the giant screen, paying attention to the detection equipment nearby, and keeping an eye out for any fluctuations in the real gems.

Xingyun arrived above the city, took a deep breath, dropped down with a bang, and punched the center of the city.

This was the first time she used the magnetic field power of the eightyth heaven in reality, and what she was dealing with was not an enemy, but a bunch of tall buildings.

On the big screen in the battleship, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky from where the nebula fell. The buildings in Sokovia collapsed like dominoes, spreading from the center of the city to the surrounding areas. Dust covered the sky and blocked the sky of the city.

The Avengers stared at the screen and the detection equipment next to them, but they didn't notice that behind them, Wanda was looking at the collapsing building on the screen and the whistling smoke and dust. Her face turned pale and her body began to tremble. Some memories that had been completely erased were gradually revived in her brain.

If Nebula was on the super battleship at this time, he would be able to know the truth of everything through mind reading. However, Nebula is repeatedly bombarding the town on the ground, trying to smash any possible magic circle and reveal the Reality Gem.

Another king who was able to discover all this through the fluctuations of magic power has already returned to the temple with the mages who have completed their mission.

So, except for Wanda's younger brother Pietro, no one noticed the changes in her, and missed the last chance to stop Wanda's mutation.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Wanda panted rapidly, nervously grasped her brother's arm, and murmured to herself, "Pietro, you are still here, you are still here..."

"Of course, of course I'm here. You must be tired these past two days, right? I'll help you to rest."

Pietro reached out to hold his sister and helped her walk out the door. When they reached the door, Wanda turned her head and looked back, only to see that Sokovia had completely disappeared on the screen, leaving only dust flying everywhere.

Stimulated by similar scenes, all the memories that had been deleted were completely restored, including the last and most crucial content. Wanda felt a pain in her heart and her emotions were out of control.

"Ah..." She held her head with her hands and screamed.

The Avengers were looking at the screen nervously. The detection equipment next to them did not detect any fluctuations from the reality gem. They were feeling discouraged when they were suddenly startled by Wanda's shrill scream. Turning their heads, they saw Wanda holding her head with both hands, her body floating in the air, magic all over her, and energy ripples around her visible to the naked eye.

Professor Hulk subconsciously swiped his hand across the detection instrument and pointed the instrument at Wanda. The data on the instrument immediately soared, surpassing the peak value in an instant, and then exploded amid Wanda's screams.

"The Reality Stone... is in Wanda's body!" everyone screamed in unison.
