American comic book: Scarlet Witch's Multiverse

"The Infinity Stones are the rules of the universe. They are six in one, which can be considered the universe itself, or they can be used as wish-granting artifacts."

"However, this is not without its price."

Seeing the bright eyes in everyone's eyes, Wanda interrupted them.

"What's the price?"

"However, even if it means death, I am willing to give it up. I just want to end this disaster as soon as possible."

Okoye gripped the vibranium spear and spoke in a firm voice.

"If it's about death, let me be the one to die. This disaster, in the end, also originated from me."

Hope, who was holding Scott, spoke up at this moment, her tone firm and resolute.

"Hope".

Scott called out, his tone carrying a hint of dissuasion.

He doesn't want to lose Hope.

"Well, even if it's death, if it's successful, it should be possible to be resurrected, since what we're doing is rewinding time."

Peter said something, puzzled.

"Unlikely."

Tony then interjected.

"The Infinity Stones shouldn't have this kind of vulnerability. The result should be that the user's actual death is irreversible, even if it's reversed."

"this……"

Seeing the crowd talking amongst themselves, Wanda said helplessly, "If this keeps going, I wonder when this disaster will end."

"Uh...please continue, please continue."

Peter said somewhat embarrassedly.

"The price of the Infinity Stones is both greater and less than you imagine."

Looking at the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Wanda said, "The Infinity Stones are, after all, one of the rules of the universe. An ordinary person would perish instantly if they touched a single stone, let alone the six stones combined."

"Even Thanos, a top-tier fighter in the universe, would lose an arm if he used it once."

"So, the cost is both greater and less than you think."

"Hulk can use the Infinity Stones, and so can Thor, but the price is obvious: losing an arm."

Wanda explained to everyone.

"I see. I'm willing to pay this price," Banner said firmly after hearing the price.

If he could save the lives of the entire planet by using only one arm, he would be willing to give it a try.

"An injured arm is not permanent and there is a chance of recovery, especially for people of Hulk and Thor's caliber."

Wanda looked at the resolute Banner and added a further explanation.

Upon hearing the explanation, Banner suddenly gave an awkward smile.

"So, where are we going to find this Infinity Stone?"

Peter asked.

"My heart's gem can be given to you right now."

Vision suddenly spoke at that moment.

"Vision, you..." Banner watched Vision leave carrying the zombie Wanda, and he didn't know what to say.

Vision was, after all, a member of the Avengers, and someone he had personally helped design. Seeing such a teammate pass away, he was momentarily saddened.

"We will meet in the future."

Vision wasn't that sad. With hope, even the hope of restoring Wanda, he felt no sadness at all.

All I felt was happiness.

Death is but the beginning, the start of new life.

After placing "Wanda" in his arms on the sofa next to the base, the Mind Gem between his foreheads shimmered slightly.

Vision is personally settling the scores for the mistakes he made in the past.

The power of the Mind Gem swept over Wanda's consciousness, spirit, soul, and brain.

In just a second, Wanda was already fast asleep on the sofa.

Then, after taking one last look at "Wanda" on the sofa, Vision slowly raised his hand to his own forehead.

Hard.

"Ugh... Ah!!!"

With a roar and an explosion of energy, Vision collapsed to the ground.

"Vision."

After the energy wave dissipated, Banner rushed toward Vision.

However, when Banner arrived at Vision's side, all he saw was Vision's corpse.

"Vision."

Looking at Vision lying on the ground, Banner murmured something.

He then looked at Vision's hand, where there was a gem, the Mind Stone.

Vision ripped the Mind Stone off his forehead with his bare hands.

The others who came to Vision's side also looked at him with complicated expressions after seeing this scene.

"Yes, the zombies are moving again."

Wanda sensed the movement of zombies outside.

The zombies are heading towards the base.

Without the sub-frequency emitted by Vision's Mind Stone, the zombies began to move again.

"We should go."

Bucky walked over and said to Banner.

Banner picked up the Mind Stone, stood up, looked at Wanda, and asked, "Where do we go now? Where should we look for the next stone?"

"Let's get to a safe place first."

Wanda replied and then opened the portal.

The opposite side of the portal is the rooftop of a building.

"Hmm, this looks familiar."

Tony looked at the other side of the portal and asked in confusion.

Banner also looked towards the other side of the portal, and immediately knew where it was.

The Avengers' base.

It's a place that Tony funded the construction of, so how could I not be familiar with it? It definitely has Tony's style.

"This is our Avengers' base, and it's the place that Tony funded to build."

Banner looked at the dusty base opposite him and said with a hint of melancholy.

The Avengers were once so glorious, and now they are so destitute.

"Alright, don't be so down yet. We'll be back soon," Wanda said, glancing at the Avengers base.

Wanda went in first, followed by Sharon Carter, Tony, and others.

Just after almost everyone had gone inside, Bucky stopped in front of the portal.

"Bucky, come in here! What are you doing?"

Hearing the roar coming from the base, everyone looked at Bucky, who was standing there in a daze, and asked anxiously.

"You may leave."

Bucky looked at a zombie that had appeared at the base.

A zombie wearing a uniform with stars printed on the chest and holding a five-pointed star shield.

It was Captain America, Steve Rogers.

"The captain has arrived."

Gazing at the zombies that stood opposite him in the distance, Bucky softly replied to the others, "If everything can return to the beginning, then death doesn't seem so terrible."

"I want to give him a release, a chance to release this captain who has been upright all his life."

After hearing Bucky's words, everyone fell silent.

Clearly, they already knew who the zombies were.

They also knew about the relationship between Bucky and Captain Rogers.

"Take care of yourself."

Wanda glanced at Bucky before closing the portal.

No one said anything about it.

This was Bucky's own choice, and as Bucky said, there's always a chance to go back to the beginning.
