Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

The strength of these crimson magical chains far exceeded the expectations of everyone present.

A piercing alarm sounded from inside Tony's armor, and Jarvis's voice echoed frantically in his ears:

"Sir, the armor's power source has been completely cut off, the weapon system is inoperable, and the kinetic energy system is inoperable."

"Are you kidding me!" Tony exclaimed, his eyes widening in astonishment.

"Didn't Peter's divine energy supposedly provide us with a 36-fold amplification? How can he leave us completely helpless in this situation? What kind of monster is that girl?"

At this moment, Tony wasn't the only one shocked.

All the superheroes were bound by Wanda's magical chains, and even the three strongest among them, Sif, Daisy, and Natasha, were powerless against them!

In stark contrast to the others who were struggling frantically, the Mantis remained remarkably quiet throughout.

She could sense Wanda's emotions through these magical chains.

Fear, madness, hatred... the intense negative emotions caused her, already sensitive as she was, to unconsciously shed tears...

Seeing that their struggles were futile, everyone turned their attention to the instigator of it all—Wanda!

At this moment, Wanda was suspended in mid-air, with crimson chaotic energy surging around her in a huge vortex.

The dark red Chaos Crown on her head shone with an even more intense light than before, and her crimson pupils looked down at everyone on the ground who were bound by chains.

"The score with those aliens is settled."

Wanda's voice came from high above, each word amplified several times by chaotic energy, echoing throughout Chernobyl.

As she spoke, her gaze fell on the only one who had slipped through the net—Peter Parker.

It's not that Wanda didn't want to lock him up.

Instead, the moment the chains attempted to wrap around Peter's body, the Horse Charm automatically activated, burning the magical chains to ashes.

"Now, it's time to settle our scores."

After a brief silence, the comments section exploded again upon seeing this unexpected scene:

"Wait, wait, wait! What's going on? Isn't this Scarlet Witch one of ours?"

"No way, she's too strong! Those superheroes who dealt with those aliens so easily were actually controlled by her alone?"

"Hiss~ I have a feeling that the Arbiter has brought a new problem to Earth!"

"I understand everything, but what grudge does Miss Scarlet Witch have with the Arbitrator? Could it be... that the Arbitrator seduced and then abandoned her?"

"So what's going on now? Is it a 'husband-chasing-after-the-cremation' scenario? Or is it a domineering witch's forced love?"

"??? Family, is this right? After what you've said, I'm not scared at all anymore; all I can think about is the desire to watch the drama unfold!"

Peter looked up at Wanda, who was suspended in the air.

His expression was calm, but a hint of understanding flashed deep in his eyes.

No wonder my Observation Haki gave me a frantic warning when I made my decision earlier; it turns out I had already anticipated this!

Just as he was feeling both annoyed and amused by Wanda's sudden antics, Wanda's gaze passed over Peter and landed on Tony Stark, who was bound by chains.

Those eyes, now crimson, held too much within them:

"Stark".

She uttered the surname softly, causing the level of chaotic energy in the air to suddenly increase several notches.

It caused everyone present to unconsciously feel a sense of unease.

Do you remember the war that Sokovia experienced ten years ago?

Upon hearing this question, Tony's body visibly trembled.

"That's my hometown." Wanda's voice began to tremble.

"The Stark Industries bombs fell on our living room as the four of us were watching television together."

"It's you! You've made Pietro and me lose our parents!"

"It was you who made us spend two whole days and two nights trapped under the rubble, staring at that missile that could explode at any moment!"

As she spoke, she made a grabbing motion in the air with her right hand.

A massive screen of chaotic magic appeared in mid-air.

The image projected there was of Sokovia back then. Amidst the ruins, two children huddled in a pile of rubble, only able to watch their parents and the missile that could explode at any moment, desperately waiting for death to come at any time!

This scene, broadcast live globally, reached countless households, turning the expressions of shock into silence for many viewers.

"I never imagined the Scarlet Witch was actually Sokovian?"

"Stark Industries' arms business back then certainly harmed a lot of people..."

"Not only Sokovia, but my hometown was also attacked by Stark missiles!"

"But this isn't Iron Man's fault! He didn't start the war!"

Alika's audience was so anxious they were jumping up and down:

"Come on, sis! Tony stopped doing arms dealing a long time ago!"

"Exactly! Stark has already transitioned to clean energy! What's the point of all this?"

"And the Arbiter just saved you, and you repay kindness with enmity?"

But Wanda couldn't hear any of this.

She doesn't need to hear it.

Trapped on the spiderweb debris, Quicksilver looked at his sister, opened his mouth as if to say something.

But he swallowed the words back. As the older brother, all he could do was always stand with his sister.

"Today, I will settle this score with my own hands." Wanda raised her hands, and the scarlet energy wrapped between her fingers illuminated half of the sky.

"Tony Stark must die! Whoever stands in his way will die with him, even you, the Arbiter, are no exception!"

Peter, upon hearing this, neither became angry nor adopted a defiant stance.

He simply tilted his head and spoke in a teasing tone:

"Miss Wanda, I was the one who helped you unleash your power, and now you're going to go back on your word?"

"Shut up!"

Wanda's voice carried a hint of embarrassment and anger:

"I can do all this even without you!"

"Even if you withdraw the energy you left within me, it won't help. Your energy is merely a key! You can't control me!"

"Huh?" A hint of amusement appeared in Peter's eyes.

He stepped forward, ready to show the girl just how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.

But then Tony suddenly spoke up:

"Wait, Arbitrator! I have something else to say to her!"

Looking at Wanda in front of him, and seeing the hatred in her eyes as she looked at him.

Tony suddenly remembered someone.

Bucky Barnes.

There is never true empathy in the world.

Tony had previously thought he could never forgive Bucky.

Until today, until fate has placed him in the same position as Bucky back then.

Until he looked at Wanda with the same glare he had given Bucky.

Tony suddenly understood.

Then, the mask popped open.

Tony, with his true face revealed, calmly looked at Wanda and spoke:

"You're right."

Just three words.

But coming from Tony Stark, it carries more weight than any fancy apology.

It even caused Wanda to uncontrollably take a half step back.
