Chapter 274 Dream Walking Technique

I heard Carl say that I must go to Kamar-Taj to learn dream walking.

Wanda was a little confused: "It seems that those wizards today are from Kamar-Taj?"

Carl nodded gently and said, "Yes, Dream Walking is actually a kind of black magic, recorded in the Dark Book left by the ancient demon god Xisong."

"This divine book contains a large amount of dark magic. If an ordinary wizard reads it, his soul will be corrupted and his mind will become crazy."

"So the last Supreme Mage, Slantchi, wanted to prevent the Dark Book from being lost and accidentally discovered and practiced by ordinary people."

"The original copy of the Darkhold was found and kept in the library of Kamar-Taj."

"So, if we want to practice dream walking, we must visit the magician's holy place, Kamar-Taj."

After listening to Carl's introduction, Wanda was a little worried: "Since Dream Walking is dark magic, won't there be problems with my practice?"

Carl waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, your ability is actually the power of chaos, which happens to come from the ancient demon god Xisong."

"And Xithorn is the source of all dark magic, so you are equivalent to half of the source of dark magic."

"So when you practice dark magic, as long as you are careful not to be deceived by Xithorn, there will be no problem."

"Cheat?" Wanda thought, "Sithon is an ancient demon god, what's the point of cheating me?"

Okay, I have to waste some time talking again.

Carl patiently explained: "Of course it makes sense. In ancient times, there was a tragic war among the gods, in which Xisong was expelled from the earth as an evil god."

"Sithoen, unwilling to accept defeat, has been trying to return to Earth by possessing a human body."

"As the owner of the power of chaos, your abilities come from the same source as Xithorn's, and you have the most perfect physique for possessing another body."

"Therefore, you must always remain vigilant and never be tempted by Seathorn's promises of resurrecting Vision."

"If an ancient demon god like Sithon invades the Earth, the entire universe will be doomed."

Hearing this, Wanda's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but interrupt: "What did you say? Seathon can revive Vision?"

“Are you so naive as to think that the promises of the Ancient Evil God are credible?” Carl was speechless.

The light in Wanda's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Yes, even Xi Suo En can't revive a human being."

Carl shook his head silently. How could Wanda be motivated to do anything in this state?

So he decided to give Wanda a little motivation.

"Resurrection may be a little difficult, but it's not difficult if you just want to see Vision."

"There are countless illusions in countless parallel universes. As long as you learn the art of dream walking, you will naturally be able to see illusions in other parallel universes."

Wanda's eyes suddenly lit up again.
"Resurrection is just a little difficult? Do you have a solution?"

"Uh" Carl felt a little regretful. He should have kept his mouth shut.

"Once you reach a certain level of strength, you will be able to reverse time and space and revive Vision."

"Reversing time and space?" Wanda fell into reminiscence and muttered to herself, "Just like when Thanos resurrected Vision?"

"No, those are two different concepts." Carl shook his head and explained: "When Thanos used the Time Stone, he only reversed one minute of time."

"But several years have passed now. The Time Stone cannot reverse such a long period of time."

"But you don't have to lose heart. When your strength reaches a certain level, not only can you revive Vision, you can even create, manipulate, and destroy all time and space at will."

"And the most special thing about the power of chaos is that it can rewrite reality at will!"

Wanda didn't quite understand what he said, and frowned and said, "A certain height? Can't you explain it more clearly? How can we revive Vision?"

"Uh" Carl hesitated for a while. He was afraid that Wanda would not be able to accept the truth if he told it.

"You only have sub-god-father-level strength now. If you want to permanently rewrite reality, you need at least multiverse-level strength."

"And Odin, the ultimate father of gods, is only at the level of a sky father."

"The gods that appeared at the beginning of the universe were only at the single universe level."

"And the multiverse level is the level of Eternity, Infinity, Annihilation, Death, Devourer of Planets, and the five great creator gods."

“It may be difficult to reach this level.”

Carl's words were actually quite euphemistic. Although Wanda possesses the power of chaos, she is equivalent to the "second generation of God."

But if she wants to become a multiverse-level powerhouse, she still has a long way to go.

You know, even Carl, who is cheating, is only at the single universe level now.

Not to mention that Wanda is just an ordinary isotope in the multiverse.

Want to increase your strength to the multiverse level?

It’s difficult!
Wanda, who had no idea about the five great gods of creation, asked curiously:
"What is your current level of strength? Is it difficult to reach the multiverse level? Is there any shortcut?"

This question is
Who would rashly tell others their true strength?
Karl looked helpless: "Although your question is a bit presumptuous, I can tell you the truth, I am only at the level of a single universe now."

"But I'm not far from the multiverse level. In about 70 or 80 years, I will be able to break through to the multiverse level."

"And there is no shortcut to improving strength. Even I have to patiently hone my strength."

"You're so weak?" Wanda said with a bit of disgust, "Is learning dream walking really the only option for me?"

Hearing that she finally brought the topic back, Karl was somewhat relieved and said:

"Actually, I can take you to other parallel universes. There are visions in many universes, but you have to help me find Wanda first."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Wanda said angrily, "Then why did you say so much nonsense just now?"

Jean Grey, who had been listening for a long time, frowned and said, "Hey, watch your attitude. Didn't Carl explain it only after you asked?"

Thinking that she still had to rely on each other to travel to other universes, Wanda's tone softened a lot, "Sorry, I just miss Vision too much."

"Forget it." Carl was too lazy to care too much. After all, she was the same look as Wanda.

"Take a day off today. I'll take you to visit Kamar-Taj tomorrow. If you learn dream walking earlier, you can see Vision earlier."

Wanda nodded heavily and said expectantly, "I will learn it as soon as possible. I have always wanted to see magic."

At this moment, the guests in the open-air area outside the restaurant suddenly exclaimed, attracting the attention of Carl and others.

The skyscrapers in Manhattan all have LED screens, and this street-side restaurant also has a six-meter-long LED electronic screen above its sign.

At this time, the LED screens on the exterior walls of all nearby buildings switched to images of the president's speech.

Many passers-by and even guests realized that something big must have happened, so they all stopped.

"Look! The President is speaking?"

"It's only been five years since the Shuomie incident. Could something bad happen again?"

These ordinary people were isolated from the news and had no idea that the war had already started or even ended.

They are still worried.

Carl looked at the LED screen and saw that the President of the United States was preparing to announce an important news.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the President of the United States. I am sorry to take up a moment of your time."

"I believe everyone has already noticed that the person who disappeared in the Shuomie incident five years ago suddenly reappeared."

"This is because the Avengers saved the world once again."

"But right now, the Avengers headquarters in Ossining, New York, is still in a fierce battle with aliens."

"Please do not approach this area rashly. The White House government has urgently dispatched troops to the Ossining area for support."

"Until the outcome of the war is determined, please all citizens stay at home as much as possible and don't go out."

"Oh my god!"

"The Avengers saved the other half?" Passersby were shocked by the president's announcement.

A female guest in her thirties burst into tears when she heard the president's speech:
"Thank God, I have to go home immediately, my poor three-year-old daughter should be back!"

At this moment, many ordinary people with confused faces suddenly appeared on the street.

"Where is this?"

"Oh my god, why am I standing in the middle of the road?"

"Beep--"

Vehicles traveling on city roads have to brake suddenly and honk their horns frantically.

These people who suddenly appeared in the middle of the city road were actually those who were riding in vehicles on the road when the flash occurred.

Wanda saw these people suddenly appear in the middle of the road, and some of them were hit by vehicles that could not stop.

The city's traffic was about to come to a standstill.

As an Avenger, Wanda stood up and wanted to help evacuate the crowd.

But Carl spoke up to stop him.

"Forget about it. Directing traffic is a trivial matter and there is no need to send out the Avengers."

"Besides, you should do a good job of evacuating the crowd. If you fail to save one person, others will probably hate you to death."

"Besides, the Avengers are still at war. If you show up on the streets of Manhattan, people might mistake you for a deserter."

Wanda paused as she prepared to stand up, but continued.

"As an Avenger, I can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

After saying that, she turned around gracefully and walked towards the intersection of the city road.

Seeing this, Carl just shook his head and smiled without saying anything.

Half of the human race that was wiped out five years ago has returned.

The biggest problem now is not transportation.

But the countless troubles that followed.

You know, during the five years of Shuomie, the global economy fell into a great depression.

Countless factories went bankrupt and countless project projects were forced to stop because the persons in charge or executors disappeared.

On the day of Shuomie, we also experienced the worst stock market crash in history.

All global financial activities came to a standstill for a week before barely recovering.

Until now, five years later, the global economy has barely shown some signs of improvement.

But half of the human race that disappeared that year has returned.

This is not a good thing, at least for the economy, the financial and stock markets will suffer another heavy blow.

When the person who disappeared came back, he found that his former lover had remarried and his son was still calling someone else dad.

Forget it.

Having multiple green hats on your head is not the most serious problem.

These people will also find that their houses and all other properties have been given to their heirs.

They are now even an illegal household with their identity 'deregistered'!
If they want to get their property back, they have to pay a high inheritance tax and may even have to fight with the heirs.

If the people who disappeared were already in debt, they would find that they were resurrected even after death.

The first people to contact him were not his relatives and friends, but the bank's collection email, and you still have to pay the interest for five years.

The previous President of the United States was also one of those people who disappeared.

When the sun goes out, the president disappears and the vice president automatically takes over according to the constitution.

The president who is now giving a televised speech took office a year ago.

Now that two presidents are in office at the same time, one can imagine how many legal problems will arise.

Therefore, it is not necessarily a good thing for those who disappeared to come back.

Karl estimated that many people would commit suicide in the next few days because they could not accept the facts.

But none of this has anything to do with him.

He was just a spectator.

Now Carl just silently watched Wanda not far away trying to evacuate traffic.

"Compared to evacuating traffic, she should do something more meaningful."

Jean Grey sat in the dining chair, took a few sips of coffee to refresh herself, and then made a comment.

Carl, who had to wait for Wanda to finish her good deed, asked out of idleness.

"for example?"

Qin answered: "She should solve the survival problem of these people. That is their most urgent problem now."

"I learned from passers-by that a flash of destruction had occurred in this world."

"That means that now there are suddenly more than three billion more people on Earth, and the food needed by so many people is not a small amount."

"And without adequate food, the average person cannot survive more than seven days."

"That's why I said she should solve the problem of survival resources."

Hearing what Qin said, Karl was a little surprised. "I didn't expect your insights to be so forward-looking. I didn't realize you were such a smart person."

Jean Grey rolled her eyes at someone and said, "I am no longer the naive little girl I used to be."

Karl smiled and teased: "Oh, it seems that the innocent girl has finally matured, and according to the principle of being close to red, it must be my credit."

Qin was already familiar with this bastard, but she was still shocked by his shamelessness.

"You always have a twisted logic, I'm too lazy to argue with you."

"This is not a fallacy. If I hadn't taught you knowledge every day, would you have known so much?"

"Knowledge? You bastard can only teach me more positions every day."

The two chatted and time passed quickly.

When the decorative lights in the open-air area of the street restaurant came on, they realized it was already night.

After drinking several cups of coffee, Qin became impatient waiting.

"She hasn't come back yet?"

Carl nodded to his right.

"No, that's not coming back."

As the night deepens, the buildings on both sides of the street light up with colorful neon lights.

Wanda dragged her exhausted body back to the street restaurant.

Carl, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up, stretched and said:
"Since we are tired, let's find a hotel to rest. Wanda, you go and check out!"

Seeing him confidently asking her to pay the bill, Wanda, whose steps were a little heavy, was speechless.

"You guys didn't bring any money, so you kept waiting for me to come back and settle the bill, right?"

"What else?" Carl asked as a matter of course.
