Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Hearing this, Wanda's heart sank.

If that mutated madman seizes control of his body and tries to harm Anthony...

Wanda dared not think any further.

She grabbed the Ancient One's sleeve.

"Master, please help me! I can't let her hurt Anthony!"

Gu Yi looked at the helpless girl in front of him, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

"Relax, child. I will do my best to help you."

The Ancient One grasped Wanda's wrist, and golden magic surged into Wanda's body, rapidly spreading throughout her entire being, finally converging at the center of her forehead.

A golden mandala appeared faintly on Wanda's forehead.

Azu watched this scene quietly.

He had a clear understanding of the Ancient One's magical abilities. If even the Ancient One found it troublesome, then this matter was probably really complicated.

A moment later, the Ancient One slowly released Wanda's hand and withdrew her magic.

The golden magic circle on her forehead also disappeared.

"Master, how is it?" Azu asked.

Gu Yi sighed, her tone becoming more serious. "The situation is much more complicated than I expected."

"Troublesome?" Azu frowned.

"Dreamwalking has a unique characteristic," the Ancient One explained. "If the caster does not pull her consciousness back to her own universe before the spell ends, or if the caster actively severs the return channel, then her consciousness will permanently parasitize here in the variant."

"Forever in my mind?" Wanda exclaimed.

"Do you have a way to separate them?" Azu pressed.

"If she hadn't severed the return portal, I could have separated her along the astral connection." The Ancient One shook her head. "But now, the portal is gone. She's completely anchored deep within Wanda's mind. Forcibly separating her would be tantamount to tearing Wanda's own soul apart."

Upon hearing this, Wanda swayed and collapsed into Azu's arms.

Azu helped her up and turned to look at the Ancient One. "Are you sure there's no other way?"

Ancient One raised his hand and drew a complex golden hand seal in the air.

The hand gesture spun in the air before disappearing into Wanda's forehead.

"I can only use the Vishanti's sealing technique to temporarily suppress her deep within your heart."

Upon hearing that there was a way to suppress it, Wanda's expression improved slightly.

But Gu Yi's next words extinguished her hope.

"However, chaotic magic flows within you, and the seal cannot suppress it indefinitely. If the pressure is not released periodically, the chaotic magic will cause an even stronger backlash."

"Therefore, every now and then, the seal needs to be lifted so she can get some fresh air."

After hearing this, Azu frowned.

"So you mean Wanda will have to live with another consciousness from now on? Like multiple personality disorder?"

Wanda looked at Azu in horror.

She didn't want to become mentally ill; she didn't want to share her time with Anthony with another madman.

"This isn't the worst consequence," the Ancient One said, her expression turning serious. "The truly fatal one is..."

"Forcibly anchoring one's consciousness to a variant of another universe for an extended period of time will gradually destroy the boundary of reality between the two universes."

"Ultimately, the two universes will collide... and then both will be destroyed."

The side hall remained silent for nearly three minutes.

Wanda covered her mouth, too terrified to speak.

She initially thought it was just schizophrenia, but now it's escalated to the level of cosmic destruction.

Ah Zu's face remained expressionless, but his mind was racing.

Not again, damn it?

What's wrong with the Marvel Universe?

The destruction of Earth wasn't enough; the destruction of the universe is on its way!

You have nowhere to run away, right?

"Is there really no way out?" Azu asked with a dark face.

The Ancient One was silent for a moment, then gave a direction.

"If we can find an extremely powerful psychic, perhaps there's a way."

"On the battlefield of the mind, with absolute spiritual power, strip away the variant consciousness without destroying Wanda's main personality."

A psychic?

Azu's brain quickly began searching for suitable candidates.

His first thought was Skynet.

Skynet, having absorbed the power of the Mind Stone, possesses unparalleled spiritual power and control.

The problem is that Skynet is currently outside the time dimension, so it's completely unreliable and can't be of any use in the immediate crisis.

Azu took out his phone and immediately dialed Jessica's number.

The call was answered quickly.

"Anthony! Get rid of that jerk... Little Wanda?!" Jessica's voice was filled with excitement. "I learned a few new tricks online..."

"Stop!! I have something important to do," Ah Zu shouted, trying to cover up the voice coming from the receiver.

"I need the files of all registered heroes in Wot who possess psychic abilities. Immediately!"

"All of them? Now?" Jessica paused, taken aback. "What happened?"

"Do as I say, I'll explain later," Ah Zu instructed.

"Okay, give me ten minutes." Jessica hung up the phone.

A brief silence fell over the room.

Wanda clenched her hands nervously, while Gu Yi closed his eyes again to rest.

Ten minutes later, Jessica sent a file to Azu's phone.

Azu opened the file and quickly browsed the information on the screen.

The list is not long, with fewer than thirty people.

Ah Zu's expression grew increasingly grim.

These so-called "spiritual heroes" are generally rated pitifully low.

The vast majority are grade C and D, with the highest few barely reaching grade B.

Their abilities are described simply: some can guess the suit of a playing card that someone is thinking about, while others can make ordinary people forget what just happened, etc.

Are you expecting this bunch of weaklings to fight against a Scarlet Witch variant corrupted by the Dark Book and possessing power across the universe?

"No, these people are all useless."

Azu stood up and paced back and forth in the quiet room.

He began searching his mind for information about the Marvel Universe from his past life memories, looking for true top-tier mental powerhouses.

An image of a bald man appeared in his mind.

Professor X, Charles Xavier, is widely recognized as one of the most powerful psychic abilities users.

Although in fragments of his memory, Professor X attempted to enter the Scarlet Witch's mind, he was instead killed by her, who ruthlessly snapped his neck.

But the situation is different now.

The current variant does not have complete control over the body.

More importantly, with the assistance of the Ancient One and the strong cooperation of Wanda's original consciousness, the chances of winning are still very high.

But there is a crucial problem here.

In his universe, there are no mutants.

There are no X-Men, and no Professor X.

Is this a dead end?

No.

Azu remembered the girl in the denim jacket who could smash open a portal to the multiverse with her bare hands.

"The key to solving the problem lies with Emily," Azu muttered to himself.
