American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 745 Real Illusion
“Mr. Mike, I want to stay and look after Moritz, so I won’t be going with you.” At the entrance to the parallel universe, Big Daddy grabbed his eager daughter and said.

Meanwhile, Hit-Girl was still struggling and trying to win Mike over with a fawning expression, hoping he would take her along.

“No problem, even if you didn’t say anything, I wouldn’t let Moritz take the risk.” Mike ignored the little girl’s request, nodded to Big Daddy, and then turned his gaze to Black Widow.

As the only two "ordinary people" in the team, Big Daddy and Natasha would not only be unable to help if they rashly entered the parallel universe without intelligence and equipment, but they might even be in danger and become a burden.

Big Daddy has already chosen to step down; now it's up to Black Widow to decide.

“Uh, I’ll stay too.” Natasha seemed to understand the meaning in Mike’s eyes and chose a more prudent approach.

Next, Wang and the super robot Vision also chose to withdraw.

One of them was going to oversee the work at Kamar-Taj, while the other wanted to stay behind to prevent other cosmic monsters from raiding their home.

Before long, the number of members in Mike's parallel world exploration team was finalized. Apart from the seemingly weak time traveler Chavez, the others, including Deadpool, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Sif, and Nebula, all had a certain ability to protect themselves.

With Mike, Hela, Strange, and Scarlet Witch, four multiverse-level powerhouses, the reconnaissance team was virtually invincible.

"Is this a parallel universe? Something feels off..." Tony, who had successfully entered the rectangular portal, looked at the unfamiliar scene before him and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"No, this is the gap between various parallel universes, which can be regarded as the hub of all universes. At the same time, it is also a void space that does not exist in any universe. Most of the cosmic monsters that hunt me live here." After passing through the cosmic space gate, Chavez felt like he was coming home and kindly explained to Tony.

The space in front of them stretched as far as the eye could see, with nothing but a group of stone pillars in the middle that looked like an altar.

Calling it a void space is quite reasonable.

“Understood,” Tony nodded knowingly, then said, “But apart from us, we don’t seem to see any other cosmic monsters…”

Well, just as Tony was speaking, ripples spread across the top of the central stone pillars, and then countless tentacles pierced through the barrier of the void space and appeared before everyone's eyes.

The crowded scene is extremely unfriendly to people with trypophobia.

"There are just too many monsters!" Tony thought, feeling a chill run down his spine as he looked at the scene before him.

He might not be afraid of one octopus, but the number of monsters in front of him looked to be over a hundred.

Although not all of them were in the form of an octopus, each of them was covered in disgusting tentacles, and many of them looked even larger than the previous octopus that was fifty meters long.

"We can't waste time here!!!"

While most people were stunned by the scene before them, Strange stepped forward and held up the Eye of Agamotto to his chest, and powerful magic spread through the void like a tide.

Any cosmic monster that comes into contact with the magic is instantly twisted, and then gradually turns into black ash and dissipates.

"Done~"

Strange, who had wiped out all the cosmic monsters in no time, retreated silently back to Chavez's side as if he had done something insignificant.

“Cool, Starach, do you think I have a chance to become a sorcerer? I’m willing to pay any price for it…” While Tony and the others were still marveling at Strange’s power, Deadpool had already begun to act.

He walked up to Strange and wiggled left and right, intentionally or unintentionally sticking out his shapely buttocks, which were no less impressive than Captain America's, as if he were hinting at something.

Deadpool's shameless behavior then caught the attention of Tony and the others; they wanted the powerful magical abilities too.

So the scene became one where Tony and the others both looked down on Deadpool and tacitly waited for things to unfold.

“Sorry, not everyone is suited to learning magic.” Strange looked away and shook his head, giving Deadpool and the others an answer.

Everyone can learn magic in Kamar-Taj, but without certain talent and fortuitous encounters, even if one learns magic, one will only waste their entire life in the magic apprentice stage.

Therefore, for most people, it's better to focus on their strengths rather than wasting time learning magic.

For example, Deadpool, with his immortality, would be far less effective at fighting with magic than by wielding a metal longsword and hacking away. And then there's Tony, whose intelligence would make studying mechs far more useful than learning magic.

“Chavez, tell us about Wanda’s situation. We’ll go and take care of this problem.” After the little incident, Strange immediately asked Chavez, seemingly in a real hurry.

Well, that's exactly the case. Strange, who has come into contact with a parallel universe, has a strong premonition that the nightmare that has been haunting him recently is not just a dream, but something that his counterpart in another world experienced.

Therefore, he now really wants to go to the world where "he" was killed by his girlfriend after helping Chavez get rid of her troubles, to see what the situation is like.

“I call that place the Wanda Universe. Everyone there is controlled by Wanda and lives in a beautiful dream woven by others…” Chavez recalled his previous experience with a hint of lingering fear on his face.

In that world controlled by Wanda, your neighbors, friends, and even strangers all live in a dream, and everyone is manipulated like a puppet.

It's like a giant "Truman Show".

From a first-person perspective, that would be absolutely the most terrifying thing in the world.

Chavez, the only conscious and space traveler, inadvertently stumbled into the world controlled by Wanda. When she realized something was wrong, she was unsurprisingly frightened and chose to run away.

Then, she caught the attention of Wanda in that world.

To ensure that the beautiful world she had created was not destroyed, Wanda in that world immediately began to hunt down Chavez.

Then, Chavez used his space travel ability to enter another world, where he met the "good guy" Strange.

The whole process was actually not complicated.

Of course, Chavez's troubles are far from over. As long as Wanda from that world exists, the girl's life will probably never be peaceful.

“The universe controlled by Wanda has been found.” Listening to Chavez’s description, Mike quickly opened another rectangular portal.

Compared to magical portals that require coordinates to open, Chavez's world portal ability is clearly more useful.

There's no need to painstakingly leave coordinates for a particular place; all you need is a general impression in your mind to directly open a portal to that location.

Blue skies, green fields, and an exquisite town.

After passing through the rectangular portal again, the group arrived in a small town in New Jersey in a parallel world.

The houses here are detached suburban homes with white fences and gardens, with a retro, cozy, and romantic style.

The residents living here all wear happy smiles on their faces, and the scenery is a harmonious and idyllic landscape.

"I feel like the sky here is bluer than back home. If this isn't some kind of illusion, I'd really like to retire here..." Tony exclaimed, gazing at the scene before him.

There's no way around it, everything here is just too perfect, it's practically the best place for leisure and retirement.

“Let’s go, let’s go meet Wanda of this world.” Noticing the increasingly intense strange looks on Scarlet Witch and Chavez’s faces, Mike shook Scarlet Witch’s hand, then led the group toward the most luxurious detached house in the town center.

Regardless, the problems that still need to be solved must be solved.

As everyone headed towards the residential building, Hela, the goddess of death, who was at the very back, hesitated for a moment before finally choosing to fly into the sky. Judging from the direction, it should be the location of Asgard.

At this moment, most people's attention was focused on the small town in front of them, and Hela's departure did not attract much attention.

Mike did notice, but he didn't interfere.
