Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

The evil creature couldn't help but let out a gasp.

He looked at the sentry and inexplicably felt that the other man seemed to have changed. Although his eyes were still somewhat evasive and he walked with a hunched back, he still seemed very insecure.

But one can clearly sense that he seems to have undergone some kind of transformation.

“That’s right, it’s me, Mr. Strange.” The Sentinel forced a smile, which was still not very good at, in response to the Evil Strange’s words, which only made the Illuminati members more uncomfortable.

Iron Heart couldn't help but ask Peter:

"You used new technology on this last model of puppet, didn't you? Don't think you can fool me!"

Peter didn't even bother to respond, only looking at the sentry and saying:

"You can explain it to them yourself. There's another culprit over there that I need to deal with personally!"

After saying this, he didn't look at the sentry, but instead walked towards the two Wandas who were still locked in a battle.

Chapter 480 Hong Xue

In the sky above the underworld, two crimson chaotic spells were still clashing fiercely.

Wanda and the evil witch have been fighting with all their might for more than half an hour.

The magical energy consumed in this process was undoubtedly astronomical. The two of them even turned pale due to the excessive consumption of magical energy, but they still stubbornly confronted each other, neither willing to give an inch.

In the blink of an eye, the two Scarlet Witches once again conjured magical missiles that would make the fat man and the little boy pale in comparison.

But just as these two chaotic spells were about to collide head-on again, a figure appeared without warning at the intersection of the two energies.

Who else could this be but Peter?

He stood there straight in mid-air, not even adopting a defensive stance, as if the two chaotic forces that were powerful enough to tear space apart were just two gentle breezes blowing in his face.

The moment the crimson wave of magic touched his body, it was silently swallowed up and dissolved by an invisible barrier, without even lifting a single hair on his head.

Upon noticing Peter's appearance, both Wandas were stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them stopped outputting chaotic magic in perfect unison.

Looking at Peter with a face full of anxiety, he asked:

"Honey, are you alright?"

Upon hearing the evil witch say the same thing as her, Wanda's forehead creased with a patter of fury.

"You thief who tries to steal someone else's happiness, what right do you have to call Peter 'dear'?"

The evil witch's relentless response:

"After I kill you, I will naturally have the right to do so!"

"That's enough, you two, just shut up!"

Peter rubbed his temples in exasperation, then spoke to Wanda first:

"Don't you trust me? Why argue with her like this?"

Wanda mumbled something indistinctly, but if you listened carefully, you could hear that she said:

"That's exactly why I'm worried!"

After persuading Wanda, Peter turned to the evil witch and said:

"As for you, all the helpers you brought have fallen," Peter said, pointing to the Illuminati members lying sprawled below.

"How long do you think you can hold out, even if you choose to resist?"

Upon hearing this, the evil witch subconsciously glanced at the battlefield below.

Iron Heart was torn to pieces, Captain America Carter was covered in scratches, Red Hulk was a bloody mess, Black Bolt was bruised and battered by Daisy, and Evil Strange was almost completely devoid of human form.

Seeing the miserable state of the Illuminati members, even her eyes twitched involuntarily, and she was secretly shocked by the fighting power of the Avengers in this universe.

But after the initial surprise, her proud and aloof nature ultimately prevailed, and she let out a cold snort:

“I knew they were unreliable from the start.”

As she spoke, she drew a line in the air with her fingertip, and a phantom of a magic book, entirely black with twisted runes outlined in dark red patterns on its cover, appeared out of thin air.

It is the Dark Book!

The evil witch pressed her hand on the spine of the book, and crimson chaos magic began to pour into the book, drawing even more violent power back from between the pages.

"So, I never actually intended to rely on them to get you,"

A sickly smile curled at the corners of her lips, her gaze fixed intently on Peter. "I will use my own strength to defeat her, take you away, and make you my man in my own way."

As the evil witch swore her oath, the power of the Dark Book began to surge wildly, and the chaotic magic surrounding the evil witch suddenly increased several times over under the book's blessing.

A crimson energy storm whipped her chestnut hair wildly, and a complex expression of madness and obsession appeared on her beautiful face.

But the next second, Peter was already standing beside her.

Its speed was so fast that it even exceeded the evil witch's ability to perceive it with the naked eye.

She felt a blur before her eyes, and the next second she saw someone reach out and grab her wrist as she was about to turn the pages of the book. The force was not strong, but it was enough to make her stop completely.

The evil witch froze, a fierce resentment flashing deep in her eyes.

“Let’s stop here.” Peter’s voice was soft, but to the evil witch it carried more force than any forbidden spell.

"You know this too, don't you? I can't just stand by and watch you replace Wanda."

The evil witch's lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to retort, but Peter's next words silenced her.

“If I would give her up for you,” Peter said slowly, “then one day I will give you up for someone else. And someone like me wouldn’t deserve your love, would I?”

The evil witch's hand paused.

The hand that was hovering above the Dark Book, ready to draw more power, froze in mid-air.

The rustling sound of turning pages gradually stopped, and the gray-black mist slowly receded between the pages. The phantom of the Dark Book flickered briefly beside her before fading away.

She looked at Peter, and the mad light in his scarlet pupils slowly faded, revealing something deeper beneath.

Confusion, pain, the helplessness of being unable to continue pretending after someone has hit your sore spot.

"Damn it..." Her voice choked, and she collapsed as if all her strength had been suddenly drained away.

"You're right. I should have known better; you would never give her up for me."

"But... what else can I do if I don't do this?"

Her voice suddenly rose, and with red eyes, she roared at Peter as if in a fit of rage.

"I've had enough of those maddening nights, enough of having no one beside me on my pillow."

Why must I watch helplessly as my counterpart in a parallel universe finds perfect love, while I can only be a humble bystander?

Why should I have to go through all that pain? Why can she get what I can't get no matter how hard I try, without losing anything?

Why can't I find a new Vision? Why can't I have my own Peter?

As the evil witch questioned her, the chaotic energy within her body fluctuated wildly.

This natural-born witch, who could erase the genes of all mutants in the universe with just a single sentence, was now unconsciously activating the astonishing power within her body, causing the rules of the entire underworld to be affected.

Hela was startled by this terrifying power and instinctively wanted to use her authority to suppress it, but Peter stopped her with a look.

Seeing the evil witch's emotions spiraling out of control, Peter could only tighten his grip slightly and pull her soft body into his arms.

The effect was immediate; with his movement, the rampaging chaotic energy and the evil witch's cries abruptly ceased...

Chapter 481 A Win-Win Ending

The evil witch's body froze.

Her hand was still suspended in mid-air, her mind blank, and the madness and resentment in her eyes, after trembling violently a few times, were gradually replaced by another emotion—

That was a deep sense of satisfaction and longing.

She doesn't really want much.

She simply hoped to have someone to lean on when she felt lonely, nothing more.

"Nothing in this world is ever absolutely fair."

Peter's voice rang in her ears, a voice gentle and steady, without a trace of lecturing or accusation.

"I'm so sorry for the pain you've endured, and so sorry for the loss of your beloved, but I'm destined not to be with you as you wished."

The evil witch's shoulders began to tremble slightly.

Her grip on Peter's clothes tightened, and then she buried her face in his shoulder. At first, it was just silent sobbing, which gradually turned into suppressed whimpers, and finally, she could no longer hold back and burst into loud wails.

Even Wanda from this universe couldn't maintain her anger any longer. She watched the woman who looked exactly like her cry her heart out, her eyes reddening slightly. Her lips moved, but in the end, she said nothing.

Because she is actually aware of what loss feels like.

Although she still has Pietro and Peter, she has also experienced the pain of losing her parents.

She knew how difficult it was to get out of that state of mind, and she could understand why the other person had become so frantic.

If she were to lose Peter one day, she would definitely become even more hysterical than he was.

Since Wanda herself reacted this way, the other girls were naturally moved to some extent as well.

Even the ever-soft-hearted Gwen couldn't help but suggest:

“Peter, how about you give her a chance? Spend a little time with her every ten days or so?”

Before anyone else could react, Captain America's Carter's eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Carter and Steve from this universe and couldn't help but eagerly ask:

"When he comes to our universe, can he bring the boy with the perky butt along with him?"

Hearing this, Carter hesitated. She looked at Steve, then at Captain America Carter, who looked exactly like her, and couldn't help but think to herself:

"My parallel universe self slept with my man, does that count as being cheated on?"

On the other side, the evil witch's gaze toward Peter also became expectant, clearly anticipating a response from him.

But Peter gently shook his head:

"This is an extremely dangerous operation. For someone to travel back and forth between two universes over a long period of time would severely interfere with the timeline and could even cause their universe to collapse due to the creation of countless branching paths."
