American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

The energy field was completely shattered, but there was no earth-shattering explosion; only a faint gust of air dispersed.

Harvey's gaze was fixed on the depths of the energy field; his intuition told him that Wanda was about to erupt in fury.

Chapter 215 The Fall of the War Machine

Harvey felt a sense of dread, as if he had provoked some great terror. He regretted his meddling in this illusory world.

Wanda's power is unpredictable in a rage; who knows if she might suddenly unleash her full potential and kill herself.

At that moment, sonic booms echoed from the horizon.

Harvey's brow relaxed; he knew without a doubt that Tony Stark had arrived.

He didn't show up to greet the other party, so his disguise has most likely been exposed.

He decisively cast the illusion spell, flew to a higher altitude, and hid back behind the scenes to watch the show.

Tony Stark was having dinner with his daughter at home when an unexpected event forced him to interrupt his family's meal and rush here.

"Was anything unusual detected in the air on Friday?"

[Boss, there is no residual nuclear radiation nearby. Thirty-five kilometers ahead, in the center of Westview Town, there is a familiar energy source, which should belong to Ms. Wanda Maximoff.]

Tony frowned and asked, "Isn't there anyone else? What about the mastermind behind the two nuclear explosions?"

[Friday: No signs of life detected within 200 kilometers of Xijing Town.]

Tony Stark looked grim.

Although this area is located in the outskirts of New Jersey and is sparsely populated, there are still some roadside convenience stores, gas stations, and other human habitation facilities nearby.

But there are no signs of life now, which means that even if there were people nearby, they were vaporized by the two explosions that were comparable to nuclear explosions.

The culprit who caused all this may have already escaped.

With this in mind, Tony decided to find Wanda and ask her if she knew who had done all this.

The thrusters accelerated, and he flew straight towards Wanda's location.

Upon arriving above Xijing Town, he discovered that although the town's buildings were intact, there were no signs of life.

"What's going on? Where are the people?"

Boss, watch out!

On Friday, when it was alerted, it forcibly took control of the nanotech armor and flew a few meters to the side.

After dodging a red energy ball.

Tony finally realized what was happening and frowned as he looked at the familiar voice coming from the entrance of a community hospital in the town center.

He turned on the megaphone and shouted, "Wanda? Why did you attack me?"

At the entrance of the community hospital, Wanda's heart was filled with resentment at the shattering of her illusions.

She was living a harmonious and beautiful secluded life with "Ultron," but before a day had passed, agents from the Sky Sword Bureau came in to disturb her.

After casually killing Monica who had intruded into the illusionary world, she subconsciously expanded the illusionary world to prevent anyone from disturbing it again.

But just as night fell, an invisible force forcibly shattered the illusionary world.

Wanda watched helplessly as Ultron died once again, and in her grief and anger, she wanted to take her anger out on the murderer.

Then Tony Stark walked right in.

In Wanda's eyes, it must have been Tony and the other Avengers who used some high technology to shatter the illusionary world.

"Why? Why are you forcing me? You won't let me take Vision's body, fine, but now you're disturbing my life! You all deserve to die!!!"

In a fit of extreme rage, Wanda unleashed a burst of chaotic power, whipping up the dust from the surrounding ground with an invisible force.

Crimson energy swirled around Wanda, levitating her as she flew toward Tony, continuously unleashing lethal energy attacks.

Whoosh whoosh!

The sound of crimson light piercing the air rang out one after another.

"Hey, wait a minute, are you serious?"

"Wanda, have you been bewitched?"

"I'm one of them, wake up! Here's a generous gift..."

Tony was startled by Wanda's frenzied attacks. He frantically dodged while trying to calm Wanda down.

Enraged by Ultron's death, Wanda wouldn't listen to any explanations; her mind was now filled with thoughts of killing the scum who had ruined her wonderful life.

Harvey, high above in the air, watched Tony being relentlessly chased by Wanda and couldn't help but feel a chill.

Wanda in a rage is indeed not to be trifled with.

Even someone like Tony got chased down and beaten up.

If it were any other Avenger, they probably wouldn't have lasted even a second.

Two minutes later.

The situation has changed again.

A Quinjet fighter jet cuts through the clouds at an altitude of 10,000 meters, preparing to land.

Captain America, along with Dr. Banner and others, arrived just in time to provide support.

When Steve saw Tony and Wanda fighting, he asked in bewilderment over the comms, "Stark, why are you fighting with Wanda?"

Tony's attention was mostly focused on avoiding Wanda, who was hot on his heels.

Steve's voice could be heard coming from the communication channel.

For a moment, he even wondered if he was being influenced by Wanda and was experiencing auditory hallucinations.

But on Friday, when reminded again, the captain and Dr. Banner and the others came over.

He hurriedly replied, "Wanda has gone mad. She's probably been mentally affected. She really wants to kill me now. Quickly, help subdue her!"

Steve glanced at his companions in the cabin, then finally fixed his gaze on Rhodes.

“It seems you’re the only one here who can fly. Go and support Stark. We’ll also try to calm Wanda down.”

Rhodes nodded, his metal helmet snapping shut with a click, and he jokingly said coolly over the comms, "Don't worry, Tony, the world's most awesome war machine is here to support you!"

Then it flew out through the open rear door of the cabin.

Before Tony could even retort to Rhodey's boastful words, he saw the red and blue Iron Man suit flying towards him.

He was hit by a red energy ball fired by Wanda.

"boom..."

"Serves you right for bragging! Now you've got a beating!" Tony mocked with a laugh.

At this moment, Rhode, who had been hit, fell into a coma, and his Iron Man armor lost power and plummeted straight down.

Tony noticed that something was wrong with Rhodes and started to panic.

"Rhodes, are you alright? Don't joke around at a critical time like this!"

"Rhode?"

Tony's heart sank when he received no reply; he feared that something had truly happened to Rhodes.

The last time Rod lost power in the air and fell to the ground, he was paralyzed from the spine.

If he were to do it again, who knows if he would be so lucky to survive a fall from such a height.

Anxious Tony cursed Wanda's ruthlessness in his heart as he sped towards the falling Rhodes, hoping to catch his good brother.

However, Wanda, who was chasing from behind, seemed to have figured out Tony's idea and deliberately fired a red orb in the direction Rhodey fell.

Oh no—

Tony didn't even have time to stop him; he could only watch helplessly as Rhodey was hit again.

The armor made of gold-titanium alloy instantly disintegrated into countless fragments.

Even Rhodes' entire body disintegrated into limbs and blood, turning into a pile of fragments and continuing to fall.

"Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!"

Having witnessed his best friend's death, Tony was filled with extreme anger.

But he couldn't very well kill Wanda, whose mind had been clouded; such a foolish act would probably prevent him from getting revenge.

Steve and the others also heard the conversation on the communication channel, and everyone on the fighter jet showed a look of sadness.

Chapter 216 The Enigmatic Death of Rhodes

But soon, Tony stopped being sad.

The blood from the mangled limb that fell to the ground was green.

The blood, reflecting a shimmering green light under the moonlight, didn't look like human blood at all.

Moreover, those severed limbs and body parts did not resemble human flesh and blood.

"Wait, why is Rhodes' blood green?"

"No, it wasn't Rhodes who died!"

Steve heard Tony talking to himself on the communication channel.

The somber atmosphere instantly dissipated.

He hurriedly asked, "Stark, what's going on? Is Rhodes dead or not? Explain yourself!"

Tony is now confused about the situation as well.

"I don't understand either. The blood flowing from Rhodes' corpse is green, and the flesh and tissue don't look human; they're more like... aliens!"

Steve was stunned by this explanation.

My partner of so many years is actually an alien?

Dr. Banner seemed to recall something and said uncertainly, "After S.H.I.E.L.D. disbanded, the top-secret database that spread around the world seemed to contain information about green-skinned aliens and the like."
