Chapter 749 Unraveling the Inner Demon
Perhaps it was because they had "ruled" the world for too long that the members of the Illuminati had become accustomed to being high above others.

Mike and these otherworldly visitors were undoubtedly seen as a security threat by them.

In particular, Strange and Scarlet Witch are unstable factors that they need to control.

As for Mike and Hela, whose identities were unknown, they were completely ignored by them.

It can only be said that arrogance blinded them.

Moreover, it seems that they were prepared to deal with Strange and Scarlet Witch from the very beginning. Strange was temporarily left to Christine to deal with, while Mr. Fantastic and his group are now clearly going to target Scarlet Witch.

Just then, Baron Mordo looked at Mike and the others with a friendly demeanor and said, "Wait a minute, please don't misunderstand. We, the Illuminati, have no ill intentions towards you; we just want to take precautions."

“Apart from the Scarlet Witch, we would be happy to be friends with the rest of you.”

"Perhaps we could also discuss your methods for traveling between parallel worlds, so we could go to your world and help you maintain peace there..."

Well, Baron Mordo wasn't so kind after all. He stepped forward at this point, probably hoping to extract the secret of Mike and his group's space travel.

However, Tony, Hela, and even the seemingly carefree Deadpool were not stupid and easily discerned Baron Mordo's intentions.

So, as if watching a good show, everyone gathered around Mike and Scarlet Witch.

They can still tell who is the enemy and who is the friend.

Moreover, with the powerful Michael in charge, and the Scarlet Witch who had just demonstrated her strength, Tony and his group did not believe that their team would lose to the Illuminati.

"Have you finished speaking?" Mike asked calmly after Baron Mordo had finished his persuasion.

His expression was mocking, as if he were watching a clown performance.

"It seems you're not going to accept our offer?" Baron Mordo noticed Mike and his group's reaction and realized his efforts were in vain.

Even Mike and the others' indifferent attitude made him feel like he had been played. He could no longer maintain his smile and said coldly, "Make your move and grab them. I want to see if they can still be so stubborn then."

After saying that, Baron Mordo gathered magic in his hands and enveloped Mike and his group.

Seeing this, the Scarlet Witch, who was seething with anger, immediately summoned her orange-red chaotic power and stepped forward to block Mordo.

On the other side, Quicksilver, who was also annoyed by Mr. Fantastic's constant cricketing of his sister, activated his super speed and charged towards his opponent, whose body was like a rubber man.

"Why didn't you just do this earlier? All that talking and then you still end up taking action anyway." Tony, after grumbling for a while, summoned his nanotech armor and approached Captain Carter, who was holding a shield.

Tony had long disliked her because of her female-style long dress.

This is called hating the house because of the house itself.

The battle was about to begin, with Spider-Man and Deadpool then facing off against Black Bolt and Captain Marvel from the Illuminati.

Overall, the Illuminati's ability to stand out in this world is a testament to their strength.

Without Mike and the others by her side, Scarlet Witch alone, without using her special abilities, might not have been able to handle the entire Illuminati.

It's just a pity there are no "what ifs".

With the others tied down, Baron Mordo was no match for Scarlet Witch, and was quickly beaten until he was coughing up blood and looking utterly pathetic.

If it weren't for Scarlet Witch wanting to vent her anger a little longer, he'd probably be dead by now.

As for Mr. Fantastic and Black Bolt, their abilities were completely countered by Quicksilver and Spider-Man, and they soon found themselves on the defensive.

On the entire battlefield, only Iron Man and Captain Carter were evenly matched, fighting back and forth.

Captain Marvel, on the other hand, managed to preserve the last shred of dignity for the Illuminati, relying on her powerful physique to keep Deadpool at bay.

Of course, Deadpool's super regenerative abilities are not to be underestimated. Although he has been suppressed, it won't be easy for Captain Marvel to end the battle in a short time.

In other words, even without Nebula, Sif, or even Hela and Mike taking action, the Illuminati's overall situation fell into a huge passive position.

It is in danger of being destroyed at any time.

Seeing this, Professor X, who hadn't come down from the second floor, finally couldn't resist using his psychic energy to help the Illuminati turn the tide.

"How about we make a deal? As long as you don't interfere, I won't hurt you." Mike appeared behind Professor X at some point and gently patted him on the shoulder.

Professor X's powerful mental abilities and spiritual strength have given him life experiences that transcend those of ordinary people, and these experiences have also endowed him with wisdom and inclusiveness that surpass those of ordinary people.

Therefore, after Mike and his group arrived, he was the only one in the Illuminati who did not show arrogance or malice.

This is also the main reason why Mike was willing to give him a chance.

"I never expected such an outstanding young person like you to appear in another world." Professor X's eyes flickered for a moment, then he lay back down in his wheelchair, abandoning his idea of ​​intervening.

This was a wise move; Mike's gentle tap had already dissipated the mental energy he had gathered.

This made Professor X realize that even if he intervened forcefully, he could not change the Illuminati's defeat.

And to be honest, even the mature, steady, and wise Professor X actually looks down on the current members of the Illuminati. Their lack of ability isn't the problem; their arrogance is.

And now, that arrogance has backfired.

Below, Scarlet Witch had finished venting her anger, and finally used the power of chaos to instantly crush Baron Mordo into a pulp, giving him a quick and painless end.

On Quicksilver's side, seeing that his sister had finished the fight, he also got serious, grabbing Mr. Fantastic's arm and spinning him around wildly, twisting him into a pretzel shape.

Like a rubber man, Mr. Fantastic ultimately couldn't resist the powerful twisting force and suddenly exploded into pieces.

The horrific sight of two Illuminati members dying instantly made Professor X's eyelids twitch repeatedly as he watched from above.

Unable to bear it but powerless to change the outcome, he ultimately chose to turn his head away.

Out of sight, out of mind.

"I surrender, I give up!!!" Black Bolt, who was on the battlefield, saw things more clearly than Professor X.

Terrified, he immediately surrendered, letting the little spider bind him into a cocoon.

Getting caught is shameful, but it's better than losing your life.

Subsequently, Captain Carter, who was evenly matched with Iron Man, took the opportunity of being repelled to signal to Tony that he had conceded defeat.

At this point, the battle was essentially over.

Captain Marvel, who had the only one in the lead, readily gave in before Scarlet Witch and the others rushed to her aid.

"Let's go check on Strange's situation." After everything settled down, Mike led his men towards the side hall.

It's fair to say that the previous battles were completely meaningless for Mike and his group. If it weren't for Baron Mordo's ulterior motives and Mr. Fantastic's aggressive tactics, the battles would never have even begun.

Now that the troublemaker is dead, Scarlet Witch and the others have vented their anger and will naturally stop targeting the Illuminati.

Of course, the premise for maintaining the status quo is that there are no major problems on Strange's side.

“I’m sorry, Strange. I know this is very unfair to you, but I have no other choice. But don’t worry, I will plead with Mordo and the others to spare your life in a moment…” In front of the magical cage in the side hall, Christine looked at Strange, who was trapped in the cage, with a guilty expression.

Strange, trapped in a semi-transparent cage that blends magic and technology, had a complex expression, a mixture of anger and deep disappointment.

"Why?" Strange asked again, unwilling to give up.

"The Dark Book—you in this world killed Thanos after absorbing its power. However, that dark power corrupted 'his' mind, forcing us to kill 'him' as well..." Christine explained, "And you, as 'him' in a parallel world, also pose a great threat..."

"We do all this for peace."

At the same time, Christine was not only explaining, but also trying to convince herself.

For the sake of peace, that's a very good reason.

“I understand~” Strange’s voice rang in Christine’s ears, while Strange in the cage slowly turned into a spot of light and disappeared.

Clearly, Strange, who was already wary of Christine, had previously used a magically created clone to deceive her.

He successfully used a magical clone to thwart the woman's sneak attack.

Now that things had come to this, Strange's true form, who appeared beside Christine, had a look of relief on his face.

He may have come to realize that Christine from the parallel universe wasn't his real girlfriend.

At least Christine is certain that if she were the Christine from the original world, she would never give up on herself or even kill herself just because she was corrupted by dark forces.

Their relationship was very stable, to the point where they could entrust their lives to each other.

It's worth noting that when Strange was ambushed by Baron Mordo in the original world, it was Christine who saved him.

"Are you alright, Strange?" Mike, who had come to the side room, saw that Strange was unharmed.

As expected, the other side did not capsize.

“I’m fine,” Strange nodded and said, “It seems your troubles have been resolved. Let’s go.”

Strange came to this parallel world to find out why his counterpart in this world was killed.

Now that he knows the answer, his inner conflict has been resolved.

It seems understandable that I, in this world, was corrupted by dark forces and then killed.

Of course, Christine's actions in this world still disappointed him.

Therefore, having figured out the whole story, Strange no longer wanted to stay in this world.
