I sparked a mythological frenzy in Marvel.

Chapter 224 You're still overthinking things.

As Wanda immersed herself in learning and mastering greater power, Mephisto's evil schemes were quietly unfolding. On the surface, he was helping Wanda take revenge, but in reality, he had a much deeper plan.

Mephisto knew that Wanda's hatred and anger were a powerful force. He not only intended to use this force to help him break free from Xia Ling's control, but also to completely control Wanda. He had no intention of giving up such a powerful assistant.

He had been secretly observing Wanda, assessing her growth and changes, while also designing a series of carefully planned trials and challenges for her. These trials were not only tests of Wanda's abilities, but also tempering her will and determination so that she could better serve his plans.

Deep within the ancient library, Mephisto showed Wanda a forbidden magical tome that contained the details of an ancient, dark ritual capable of summoning powerful demons for the summoner's use.

He told Wanda that only through this ritual could she gain the power to fight Banner and even more powerful enemies.

However, Mephisto did not tell Wanda that once the ritual was initiated, it would cause irreversible damage to Wanda's soul, and might even cause her to be lost in darkness forever.

Driven by her thirst for revenge and pursuit of power, Wanda gradually falls into Mephisto's trap.

She became obsessed with learning these forbidden magics and rituals, trying to gain the power to take revenge as soon as possible.

She had no idea that all of this was a scheme set up by Mephisto to achieve his evil goals.

Meanwhile, in a camp, Wanda's enemy Banner is meeting with one, no, two beautiful women, one of whom is unconscious.

"Oh? Isn't this Lord Banner of the Khorne Legion? What an honor," Evelyn said softly, her voice tinged with a hint of provocation and disdain.

Banner stared coldly at Evelyn, his eyes seemingly able to see through all hypocrisy and lies.

"Evely, Sorceress's messenger, how dare you trespass into my territory alone! You are truly audacious."

Evelyn chuckled, seemingly unconcerned about Banner's threat.

"Lord Banner, I was just looking for some fun, I didn't expect to run into you. But since you're here, how about we make a deal?"

Banner narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly considering Evelyn's suggestion.

"A deal? What right do you have to talk to me about a deal?"

Evelyn pointed to Captain America on the ground, her eyes filled with pride and excitement.

"Look, this was once Captain America, a powerful warrior. Now, I've turned her into a weak woman, completely defenseless. If you'd like, I can give her to you as your new toy."

Banner's eyes widened suddenly, an expression of disbelief on his face. He took a step forward, his gaze darting back and forth between Evelyn and Captain America on the ground, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"What...what happened?" Banner's voice was low and trembling, his heart filled with shock and confusion. Captain America, the once brave, fearless, and invincible warrior, was now lying on the ground, unconscious and seemingly completely unable to resist.

Evelyn giggled, as if enjoying Banner's shock and confusion. She gracefully walked to Captain America's side, gently stroking her cheek, her eyes filled with smugness and satisfaction.

"Lord Banner, don't underestimate my abilities. I am the messenger of Scythe, skilled at manipulating people's hearts and desires. This former Captain America has become weak and helpless under my magic, completely at my mercy."

Banner frowned, his heart filled with complex emotions. On one hand, he was shocked and uneasy by Evelyn's methods; on the other hand, he was drawn to Captain America's current state, and an indescribable impulse surged within him.

"Okay, I admit you're not entirely incompetent. So, what are you planning to do?"

As soon as Banner finished speaking, Evelyn's smile widened, as if she had been waiting for this moment. She slowly straightened up, her gaze meeting Banner's with a sly look, as if she could see into his every thought.

"Lord Banner, now that you've witnessed my methods, let's talk about a real deal." Evelyn's voice was deep and alluring, as if it possessed a certain magic that made it irresistible.

Banner narrowed his eyes slightly, signaling her to continue.

Evelyn nodded in satisfaction and continued, "I want to find my darling, but it seems he won't just show up easily. So, first I want to have some real fun."

"Pleasure, what do you mean?"

Banner's eyes flashed with doubt upon hearing this, clearly not understanding the "pleasure" Evelyn spoke of. But Evelyn didn't immediately explain, instead continuing in a more mysterious and alluring manner:

"Lord Banner, as the leader of the Khorne Legion, you must have an endless thirst for power and conquest, right? And I, the messenger of Slenge, am skilled at manipulating people's hearts and desires, making them lose themselves in pleasure, and sink into depravity in delusion. The pleasure I refer to is not simple physical gratification, but a satisfaction that touches the depths of the soul."

As she spoke, Evelyn smiled gently, her fingers lightly tracing Captain America's cheek, as if showing Banner her "work." Captain America's once resolute and unyielding face now appeared unusually fragile under Evelyn's magic, as if he might fall into a deeper slumber at any moment.

"Look, this former hero has lost all her ability to resist under my magic, becoming a puppet to be manipulated at will. And I can let her experience a joy she has never known before in her dreams, a joy that is enough to make her forget all her pain and struggle."

Evelyn's tone was full of confidence and seduction. She seemed to be showing Banner a new and unprecedented power, a power that could manipulate people's hearts and make them fall into it without them even realizing it.

Banner frowned slightly. He began to realize that Evelyn was no ordinary adversary or trading partner. The power she wielded, and her profound understanding of human desires, made him uneasy. Yet, on the other hand, he was drawn to the "pleasure" Evelyn described—a satisfaction that touched the very depths of his soul, an unprecedented allure for him.

"What do you want me to do?" Banner finally asked, his voice revealing a hint of hesitation and struggle.

Evelyn smiled slightly, as if she could see right through Banner. She slowly walked up to Banner and looked directly at him with her enchanting eyes:

"It's simple, Lord Banner. I need your help to find and capture the man who has captured my heart. In return, I can let you experience unprecedented pleasure—not just physical, but a satisfaction that reaches the depths of your soul."

As she spoke, Evelyn gently reached out and ran her fingers lightly across Banner's chest, as if to show him the possibility of that pleasure.

Banner felt a jolt of electricity spread from his chest throughout his body, his heart raced, and his breathing became rapid.

Banner felt the electric current emanating from Evelyn's fingers, and although a strange tremor ran through him, his eyes cleared instantly. Years of battlefield experience and a deep understanding of power made him realize that this was not just a simple temptation, but a severe test of his will.

He abruptly took a step back, distancing himself from Evelyn, his eyes revealing an unwavering resolve: "Evelyn, your methods are indeed brilliant, but don't forget, I, Banner, am the leader of the Khorne Legion. My desires lie only in conquest and the enhancement of power, not the illusory pleasure you speak of."

Evelyn's smile froze slightly, clearly not expecting Banner to resist her temptation so easily. She withdrew her hand, a flicker of surprise in her eyes, which quickly turned into a more cunning expression: "Oh? Lord Banner, you truly surprise me. But are you sure you can resist the true temptation from Sather? You know, even the strongest warriors cannot resist it."

Banner sneered, his gaze sharp: "Evely, don't waste your energy. I know your purpose; you simply want to use me to achieve your own goals. And I will never be anyone's pawn."

"If you want to work with me, you'd better behave yourself!"

Evelyn's expression darkened slightly at Banner's resolute refusal, but a playful smile quickly returned to her lips. She knew all too well that Banner, as the leader of the Khorne Legion, possessed an unwavering will that was far beyond that of ordinary people, and it would not be easy to sway him.

"Lord Banner, you are quite an interesting opponent," Evelyn said softly, her tone carrying a hint of admiration and provocation. "Since you are not willing to give in so easily, then perhaps we can cooperate in a different way."

Banner narrowed his eyes slightly, looking Evelyn up and down, as if assessing whether her next words were worth listening to.

"Tell me about it," he replied coldly.

Evelyn walked to the center of the camp, where a campfire was burning brightly. The firelight reflected on her face, adding to her mysterious and enigmatic aura.

"Lord Banner, I know a little about your feud with Wanda," she began slowly, her voice carrying a subtle, seductive quality. "And are you also aware that Wanda is currently being used by Mephisto?"

Banner frowned slightly, but did not answer immediately.

Seeing this, Evelyn continued, "Mephisto's ambitions go far beyond this. He wants to use Wanda's power to achieve his own goals, while Wanda remains completely unaware of this. If you are willing, we can join forces to expose Mephisto's true colors and, at the same time, resolve the feud between you and Wanda."

"How did you know?"

"I have my own sources of information."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Banner's eyes; he was clearly moved by Evelyn's words. However, he did not immediately respond but instead fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Evelyn knew Banner was weighing the pros and cons, so she pressed her advantage: "Lord Banner, you should know that going it alone can never compare to teamwork. Mephisto's power is not to be underestimated, and Wanda, driven by hatred and power, has also become a force to be reckoned with. If we can join forces, we can not only resolve the current crisis, but also lay a solid foundation for future battles."

Banner finally raised his head, his gaze piercing as he looked at Evelyn: "Why do you think I would believe you? After all, you are also an emissary of an evil god."

Evelyn smiled slightly, as if she had anticipated Banner's question: "Lord Banner, though I am Selene's messenger, my purpose is merely to pursue pleasure and satisfaction. Mephisto, however, has ambitions far exceeding that. He desires to control everything, including Wanda, you, and even the entire universe. Do you truly wish to see such an outcome?"

A flicker of struggle crossed Banner's eyes, but his gaze quickly hardened. "Fine, I'm willing to cooperate. But remember, we're only temporary allies. Once Mephisto's problem is resolved, we'll settle our scores."

Evelyn nodded with satisfaction: "Of course, Lord Banner. I have never forgotten that we are only temporary allies. Now, let's discuss the specific plans."

The two began to speak in hushed tones, the campfire reflecting on their faces, revealing two allies each harboring their own thoughts. And all of this would, in the days to come, become a pivotal step in reshaping the cosmic landscape.

Meanwhile, Wanda, guided by Mephisto, is gradually heading towards the abyss.
