Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone.

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 it on purpose?"

"of course."

"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 then marinated with paprika, smoked chili powder, plenty of garlic, and a local wild honey before being 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 do you think.

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?"

Wanda laughed in exasperation.

Did I bring it up first?

"Isn't that so?"

"It's obviously 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 also 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 was only smiling and not saying a word, she rolled her eyes in anger and turned to leave.

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!"

"..."

97. It's fun to intercept something for a moment, and even more fun to keep intercepting! (Sixth update, please subscribe!!)

Mike was late again, just as he had hoped.

The taste is almost indistinguishable from that in the spiritual world.

It's just as spicy and crispy.

Although after he awakened his inner universe, his need for food and sleep had been reduced to a minimum.

He can go a year without eating, or even a year without sleeping, and still maintain peak energy levels.

But that doesn't mean Mike doesn't like good food and sleeping.

Most of the time, Mike still maintains his habits of eating and sleeping.

and so!

Mike, sitting directly on the rocks by the valley pond, ate the Wallenda roasted meat wrapped in green vegetables with his bare hands.

Wanda stood to the side with her arms crossed, watching Mike, who in his spiritual world never seemed to care about his image while eating, and her gaze swept around the pristine valley.

"Have you been staying here for the past few days?"

"It's quiet here, and I like quiet."

"I know."

Wanda glanced at Mike, who didn't even look up when he spoke.

She knew, of course, that Mike liked quiet; in fact, she knew even more.

Although everything in her inner world was fabricated.

But everything in her mental world is related to her mental strength; the more she fabricates, the more mental energy she consumes.

This is why Wanda chose Santa Barbara, a small town on the West Coast, as the setting for her spiritual world.

Not only because this place matched Mike's ideal home, but also because if she were to go directly to a metropolis like New York City, the sheer number of pedestrians would be enough to overload her mental energy instantly.

fortunately.

Most of the time in their inner world, Mike would sit with her in that seaside villa, completely isolated from the world.

Wanda was initially puzzled when she saw Mike staying at home all day without seeming to feel annoyed at all, but rather enjoying it more and more. She even couldn't help but ask Mike a question.

Then she learned from Mike that he liked quiet.

It wasn't just talk; she genuinely loved peace and quiet. She conducted an experiment: with a perfect supply of food at home, Mike once went six months without ever stepping outside.

Wanda wasn't surprised to hear Mike's answer again.

next second.

Just as Wanda was about to look away, her gaze was suddenly drawn to a fist-sized white hole in the middle of a hundred-meter-high mountain wall in the distance.

The wind from the opposite side of the mountain blows into the valley through this white hole, bringing a refreshing breeze to the valley. At the same time, the wind blowing through the white hole also carries a sobbing sound, like weeping.

Wanda's gaze fell on the white hole, then she looked at Mike, who was still munching on his barbecue: "This hole, you didn't make it here to make it more ventilated, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Mike followed Wanda's gaze to the white hole that had just been made: "Yes, you know what, it's definitely cooler here after we made this hole, and the air is fresher too."

Wanda's lips twitched slightly twice before she looked away.

When do you plan to leave?

"what?"

“You said you came to Sokovia only for the Mind Scepter, and now that you have it, shouldn’t you go back to your New York City?”

"..."

Upon hearing Wanda's words, Mike washed his hands in the pond, then stood up from the rock and smiled at Wanda, whose gaze hadn't been on him when she said those words, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

"What, you don't want me to leave?"

"hehe."

Wanda sneered, looking at Mike: "I just don't want you to bring the war to Sokovia. Life here is hard enough."

Mike was somewhat puzzled.

"Why should I bring the war to Sokovia?"

"You killed Baron Strucker and Dr. Lister."

"so what?"

“Someone went to the fortress yesterday and rearranged the patrols and guards. If you continue to stay here, they will find you sooner or later.”

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Mike nodded and looked at Wanda: "So you're worried about me."

Wanda said expressionlessly, "I told you, I'm worried that if you fight with them, it will be us Sokovians who suffer in the end."

Mike smiled broadly.

"When I attacked Hydra Fortress, I didn't let the fighting spread outside the fortress."

"But you almost killed Pietro."

"Almost."

Mike shrugged. "You said it yourself, almost. Besides, Pietro didn't die, did he?"

Wanda laughed in exasperation upon hearing Mike's words.

"If I hadn't shown up, you would have killed him."

"This one..."

Mike smiled as he looked into Wanda's light green eyes: "Whether you show up or not, Pietro won't die in the end, to be honest."

one more time.

An enraged Wanda could single-handedly defeat Thanos with the incomplete Infinity Stones, and even easily defeat Thanos without the Infinity Gauntlet.
