Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone

Chapter 97 Mike and Wanda, an Old Married Couple (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!!)

Mike strained, and the stone containing the Mind Stone was instantly flung away.

The stone flew up from the valley like a cannonball, then traced a parabola in the air before falling like a meteor into the Sokovia Mountains below.

soon.

The stone then disappeared into the mountains and forests of Sokovia.

Mike looked at the Mind Stone that had been flung away, his face showing no reluctance, only a sigh of relief.

one more time.

No one can resist the call from within.

Mike won't do it either.

So as long as the Mind Stone remains in his possession, even if he intends never to use it again, in the end, he will still choose to use it and have his mind corrupted by it.

after all-

Having experienced the benefits of using the Mind Stone to instantly gain insight into the sixth sense, and even nearly gaining insight into the seventh sense, touching the eighth sense, and even vaguely seeing the portal to the ninth sense, how could one possibly continue to foolishly rely on one's own efforts to move forward?

In a word.

If you can cheat, why bother with arduous practice?

Mike won't do it either.

Although he is able to restrain himself for now and is very clear about his original purpose, he does not need the Mind Stone to help him develop his sixth sense.

Mike's sixth sense has already grasped the concept, but due to the nature of the Marvel Universe itself, he cannot ignite his own cosmic flame, so he needs the Mind Stone to help him set it ablaze.

That's it.

He doesn't need to rely on the power of the Mind Stone. Unlike the Reality Stone, which only helps him materialize his own power, the Mind Stone acts directly on his power.

This is different.

and so!

Rather than having something that is tempting and that you know you will eventually succumb to as much temptation as possible, it's better to get rid of it while you're still clear-headed and avoid seeing it altogether.

His sixth sense has already taken shape; as for the seventh, eighth, and even ninth senses, he will have to develop them himself.

What you figure out for yourself is what truly belongs to you.

What others give you, like all gifts of fate, has a price already written in secret; sooner or later, you will have to pay the price.

Mike was fully aware of this, so when he looked in the direction where the Mind Stone had disappeared, there was no reluctance in his eyes, only a calm and undisturbed peace.

Just then.

He suddenly stopped.

next second.

Mike turned around and looked.

into the eye.

She had long, fluffy, reddish-brown hair, light green eyes, a long burgundy leather coat, and black skinny leather pants.

Wanda!

Mike raised an eyebrow, looking at Wanda who had arrived at some unknown time, and a thought struck him.

If it were that his five senses, which were beyond their peak, couldn't detect Wanda's presence, that would be one thing, but even with his current sixth sense and inner universe, he still couldn't detect Wanda.

That's amazing.

Mike frowned slightly.

"How long have you been here?"

Wanda tilted her head slightly to the side, thought for a moment, and looked at Mike: "When you were skipping stones, everyone else skips stones into the water, but you skipped them into the sky."

Upon hearing this, Mike nodded thoughtfully.

When he was sending the Mind Stone away, all his attention was focused on maintaining his reluctance and self-control, which may be why he did not notice Wanda's arrival.

Of course, it's also possible that it's related to Wanda herself.

Well known.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Quicksilver Pietro's abilities may have been obtained through experiments with the Mind Stone.

"Um----"

But Wanda is not.

Her abilities were never granted by the Mind Stone.

Wanda's abilities are innate.

Just as Mike needed the Reality Stone to awaken his inner universe, Wanda also awakened her innate abilities through the Mind Stone.

Chaos Magic!

This is a power that has existed since the birth of the Marvel Universe. The core and most powerful force of this power is not magic itself, but a terrifying power that can alter reality.

The kind that can alter reality without needing a Reality Gem.

Let me put it this way.

At her peak, Wanda could be summed up in four words.

Words become law!

Just like in the original storyline, after Wanda said to Black Bolt, "What mouth?", Black Bolt's mouth completely disappeared.

That was Wanda at her future peak, but in the past, even before the Chaos Magic was activated, Wanda already possessed it.

Just like in the original storyline, when the Stark missile pierced through Wanda's floor, it never detonated during the three days it accompanied the missile.

It wasn't that missile, it was a dud.

It's a well-known fact that weapons produced by Stark Industries are always of the highest quality.

The missile didn't explode not because it was broken, but simply because young Wanda didn't want it to detonate.

Chaos magic is an innate ability of Wanda. Even though Wanda did not awaken the dormant chaos magic within her at the time, she still possessed the ability to alter reality.

However, altering reality is only one of the core abilities of chaos magic.

Telekinesis and mental manipulation are also signature abilities of chaos magic.

This is why Wanda was able to invade Mike's mental world and create such a realistic mental world.

However, that was before Mike upgraded his own cosmos to the Sixth Sense cosmos.

at the moment.

With Mike's sixth sense already activated, Wanda could no longer approach him silently and create another mental world for him as she had done before.

However, Mike originally thought that after parting ways at Hydra Fortress, it was unlikely that he and Wanda would meet again like this.

Unexpectedly.

In just five days.

Mike's thoughts raced as he looked at Wanda, who had appeared before him, and a smile played on his lips: "A gentle, domestic wife worried about her husband who hasn't returned home for five days?"

Wanda was taken aback at first, then looked at Mike, her voice calm yet carrying an exotic flavor: "Are you as arrogant in reality as you are in the spiritual world?"

Mike shrugged.

"When did confidence become a form of arrogance?"

"When you said those words."

Am I arrogant?

"Aren't you arrogant?"

"For example."

"At over ninety years old, he went swimming in the sea and ended up drowning. If this isn't arrogance, then what would you call such behavior?"

Wanda directly revealed the reason why Mike was able to leave the mental world.

Mike lived to be ninety-six years old in the spiritual world, and then drowned while swimming in the sea due to exhaustion, thus leaving the spiritual world.

When Wanda said those words, she looked at Mike's expression and found it to be three parts speechless, three parts helpless, three parts ridiculous, and one part contemptuous.

Mike, however, remained calm as he looked at Wanda: "Is it possible that I did it on purpose? After all, my children are all grown up and have their own families, so there's no point in living anymore?"

of course.

The real reason was that he realized Wanda's magic was almost exhausted, and continuing to let the inner world continue would eventually damage Wanda's essence.

Wanda burst out laughing when she heard Mike's explanation.

"You? Did that on purpose?"

"certainly."

"Who was it that told me before going into the sea that they really liked my Valenda grilled meat and insisted on eating it after swimming?"

Valenda roasted meat is the absolute star of Sokovia's family gatherings and festivals. It is made with beef brisket, which is marinated with paprika, smoked chili powder, plenty of garlic and a local wild honey, and then slowly roasted over fruitwood.

In the realm of the mind, Mike fell in love with the dish after Wanda, then thirty-seven, made it for the first time.

at the moment.

When Wanda mentioned Wallenda's grilled meat again, Mike couldn't help but swallow hard and subconsciously asked, "You made this dish today?"

Upon hearing this, Wanda couldn't help but roll her eyes, then glared at Mike with annoyance: "No, and never again."

What were you thinking?

In the realm of the mind, you used my brother's life as leverage to force me to play along for the rest of my life.

Now that we're back to reality, you're still thinking about eating my cooking?

Eat your fart.

Mike, unfazed by Wanda's glare, smiled and said, "If you didn't make it, then why are you telling me about this dish?"

C

Wanda laughed in exasperation.

Did I bring it up first?

"Isn't that right?"

"It's clearly you—"

Wanda spoke up instinctively, then suddenly seemed to realize something, looking at Mike with suspicion: "Wait, you're not going to change the subject like you do in the mind game when you're arguing, are you?"

Mike's expression remained unchanged.

"You're overthinking it. I was just going along with what you said."

"You're just changing the subject."

Upon hearing this, Wanda's suspicion turned into certainty, and she nodded firmly. Then she looked at Mike and said, "I understand. You're just changing the subject. You don't want me to continue saying that you drowned in the spiritual world and left it. You feel ashamed, right?"

Mike smiled broadly.

"Let's see who's changing the subject now."

"hehe."

Wanda sneered, crossed her arms, and, not giving Mike a chance to change the subject, complained to him, "If you knew it was shameful, you shouldn't have gone to the sea at over ninety years old. I told you it was pouring rain outside and the waves were huge, but you wouldn't listen and thought you were so strong."

Mike looked at Wanda, who was only twenty-six years old and four years older than him, and she was talking about him in the tone of an old partner. Mike didn't say anything, just smiled.

Wanda couldn't hold back any longer. Looking at Mike, who remained silent but was only smiling, she rolled her eyes in exasperation, then turned and left.

Mike watched as Wanda reached the end of the cliff, then with a flick of her wrist, leaped over the cliff and disappeared into the air, without giving chase.

But just as he looked away, Wanda returned.

But this time she was carrying a basket.

Here, eat it.

"What?"

"Valenda Fire-Roasted Meat!"
