A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 296 Bedtime Story
"Still thinking about the Infinity Stones?" Wanda asked, looking at Levi who was still deep in thought, in her bedroom at the Alliance headquarters late at night.

“Yes… Although I already have three Infinity Stones, the remaining ones are not easy to obtain! In fact, Thanos’s Mind Stone is the easiest to get!” Li Wei sighed.

The Soul Stone requires a sacrifice, and the Reality Stone is still sealed; he hasn't even found the location of Watt Alheim.

The fact that the Mind Stone is in Thanos's hands is the clearest thing.

"How about we let Tony try the time machine? We can also stage a time hijacking and go to a future point in time to get those Infinity Stones?" Wanda suggested, her eyes sparkling.

“It won’t work, because because of me, the future of our timeline has been completely changed. The things that happened on the original timeline will not happen again. What the Avengers did won’t work here!” Li Wei shook his head and said, “Going back to the past would be possible, but in the past before these three gems appeared, time travel is meaningless.”

"So we can only start from our own side?" Wanda frowned slightly.

“Yes… but I already have some initial ideas,” Li Wei said thoughtfully.

“Oh? What do you mean?” Wanda asked.

"I'll reveal the location of the Soul Stone to Thanos, then I'll orchestrate a Chitauri invasion, forcing Thanos to deliver the Mind Stone to me. After that, we'll defeat Thanos, seize the Soul Stone... and then we'll just have to wait for the Reality Stone to appear!" Li Wei revealed his plan.

That's right, let Thanos sacrifice his beloved daughter for the Soul Stone.

In any case, with his intervention, and without the Power Stone as a medium, Star-Lord and Gamora might not continue to be together.

The League and Gamora had never met before.

Therefore, Li Wei felt no psychological pressure about sacrificing Gamora.

"A perfect plan... but have you thought about who will wield the Infinity Stones? After all, we all know that the power of the Infinity Stones is deadly to mortal races, even for us!" Wanda raised another very real issue.

"...There's always a way out. Let's get the gem first... And as for it being fatal—it might not be!" Levi sighed. "Maybe Banner and Hulk will have already fused by then?"

Without a doubt, if all six Infinity Stones were to be used, the Hulk, with his incredible vitality, would be the first choice.

But it has to be a Hulk whose consciousness is dominated by Banner's.

However, what Levi was thinking about more was not Banner Hulk.

Instead, if the Infinity Armor, which appeared in the series and was created by Infinity Ultron—a suit of armor that was later acquired by Eric Killmonger, a leopard from another universe who joined the Guardians of the Multiverse—he would still be able to use its full power without being affected in any way.

I just don't know if Tony Stark in this universe could create an Infinity Armor of this caliber.

But thinking about this, Levi couldn't help but think of Tony Stark from the first season of the "What If" series... tsk, it was practically a compilation of Tony Stark's deaths.

He was killed by Eric Killmonger.

He was killed by Hank Pym.

Turn into a zombie.

He was killed by Ultron.

I wonder what Tony's expression would be if he knew about these plot points.

"What funny thing came to mind?" Wanda couldn't help but ask, seeing the smile on his face.

"Well, it's nothing, just some interesting stories from other multiverses. Want to hear them?" Li Wei asked with a smile.

“Of course!” A hint of curiosity flashed across Wanda’s face.

The other Wanda, who had been secretly hiding within her, was also very curious. This man, who did not exist in her universe, not only knew about their main universe, but also about other multiverses.

This truly surprised her.

So Levi rearranged the plot of the first season of "What If" and told it to Wanda as a bedtime story.

Wanda was quite surprised to hear this.

I was especially amazed when I heard the part about "WandaVie".

“The multiverse is so interesting, Victor. How about we try sleepwalking?” Wanda said, somewhat eager to try it out after hearing the story.

“…Huh?” Li Wei was stunned.

Although he had learned the magic of the Dark Book, he never really thought of using it in this kind of situation.

and……

In fact, not only was Levi stunned, but even the other Wanda in Wanda's consciousness was amazed by her own bold idea in this universe.

She used dark magic, at least because she wanted two children of her own.

But this version of myself in this world is just here for fun??
This is insane...

However... it seems... it's quite interesting.

And because she destroyed the Dark Books of the rest of the universe.

It seems that only people in this special universe know how to use this magic...

“Based on what you’ve said about my and Strange’s experiences, as long as we don’t try to use dark magic to change reality, there shouldn’t be any major problems, right?” Wanda continued to urge Levi on. “And maybe we really can get our hands on that Infinity Armor you mentioned?”

“…That possibility is too low. Besides, the reason you were able to track down Strange and Miss America on that timeline is because she left magical marks on them. We can’t control which universe’s counterpart we can possess without any magical marks to guide us…And if the counterpart we possess is weak, it’s fine, but if it’s strong, we might even be invaded by the other side—especially you, Wanda!” Levi shook his head, still expressing his opposition. “And if there’s too much communication between the two universes, it could trigger cosmic erosion, and the situation would be even worse.”

The example of Doctor Strange from Universe 838 is right there in front of us.

Although Li Wei wasn't as compassionate as Doctor Strange, he didn't feel so guilty that he was courting death.

However, there are too many uncertainties in the cosmic erosion. Why bother with so many things during good times? Isn't that just being idle?

Wanda was naturally unhappy with what Li Wei said, but she knew it was true.

However, the other Wanda inside her remained noncommittal.

Because no matter which universe the Scarlet Witch is from, none can be as strong as her.

With her protecting her, zombies and the like are nothing but trash, and there's absolutely no way they could threaten Wanda in this universe.

It's just that Li Wei didn't know she still existed, otherwise he would have definitely told her, "You're the biggest threat."

In any case, Li Wei managed to temporarily quell Wanda's intense curiosity.

What Li Wei didn't expect was that he had managed to appease the ever-curious Wanda.

But some curious beings in other universes might not find anyone to appease them...
