The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 550

Wes stood silently in place, a serious expression gradually appearing on his previously calm face.

His senses were extremely sharp; he clearly perceived that the surrounding air seemed to be gently disturbed by an invisible hand, trembling slightly. An indescribable sense of crisis, like a thick, dark cloud, heavily enveloped his heart.

In this oppressive atmosphere, an immense and overwhelming energy, like a surging tide, rapidly approached his senses with unstoppable force.

"Whoosh~"

A sharp whistling sound ripped through the originally gloomy and silent sky, and a dazzling light, like a bright shooting star, streaked towards them at an extremely fast speed, leaving a long trail of light.

The light approached rapidly, its speed so great that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to perceive its true form. As the light gradually subsided, Captain Marvel Carol Danvers's dashing and powerful figure was clearly revealed before Wes's eyes.

Her gaze was as firm as steel, revealing an unquestionable determination. Her body radiated a powerful and dangerous energy fluctuation, like an active volcano that could erupt at any moment, containing boundless power.

"So that's how it is."

Wes narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp, eagle-like glint flashing in them. In that instant, he had already seen through the truth hidden behind all of this.

Seattle's declaration of independence was a carefully planned and cleverly orchestrated scheme, the purpose of which was obvious: to lure him, this "big fish," into the trap.

This scheme is clearly a conspiracy jointly planned by the US government, the Awakened, and Captain Marvel.

[What a grand gesture!] Wei

Si sighed silently in his heart.

In this meticulously designed scheme, the US government undoubtedly bears the greatest risk.

After all, if the awakened ones actually take their charade seriously and achieve so-called independence, it would trigger a huge political upheaval and military crisis for the US government, with unimaginable consequences.

However, the fact that the US government was willing to take such a huge risk to deal with him shows that their hatred for him had reached its peak.

At this moment, the whole situation is like a meticulously choreographed drama, with the stage already set and all the characters in place.

Who will ultimately become the true protagonist?

Is it Captain Marvel, who always sees herself as a champion of justice and possesses powerful superpowers?

Or is he himself, the wizard, who is seen by everyone as a representative of evil?

"You've finally arrived." Wes's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile, his eyes filled with provocation as he looked directly at Captain Marvel and slowly said, "It seems you've really gone to great lengths to deal with me."

Captain Marvel snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and her eyes revealed undisguised disgust and disdain for Wes: "A selfish person like you, who drags the entire universe into an abyss of crisis just to satisfy your own selfish desires, deserves to be punished."

The energy around her surged ever more violently, like a rolling giant wave, ready to launch a fierce attack on Wes at any moment.

"Hmph, what laughable arrogance."

Wes curled his lip downwards, his face full of disdain, and the mockery in his eyes was almost overflowing.

In his eyes, these so-called superheroes are always self-important and feel that they have a mission of justice.

However, their seemingly heroic actions were merely superficial embellishments, failing to touch upon the deeper operating rules of this world.

As long as those in power remain high above, arbitrarily manipulating everything, and as long as class differences remain an insurmountable chasm between people of different social strata, everything these superheroes do is like a clown's farcical performance on stage—seemingly exciting and entertaining, but actually empty and meaningless, with no real significance in changing the status quo of the world.

"What, you're planning to make your move right here?"

Wes's eyes gleamed as he quickly scanned his surroundings. Seattle at this moment...

The streets and alleys were packed with people celebrating independence, and scenes of laughter and merriment were everywhere.

He knew all too well that if he and Captain Marvel were to engage in a fierce battle here, the aftershocks of the battle alone would be enough to cause a terrible disaster, instantly leveling this bustling city to the ground.

At that time, millions of innocent lives will be lost in an instant, and countless happy families will be torn apart and plunged into endless grief.

"You're actually worried about the safety of ordinary people?"

Captain Marvel paused slightly, her face full of surprise. In her preconceived notions, people like Wes, defined as evil, always disregarded the lives of ordinary people and had no reverence for life.

"I'm not a heartless madman."

Wes rolled his eyes, his tone tinged with impatience, and said irritably.

Although he has his own goals and unique style of doing things, it does not mean that he would harm innocent people without reason.

"Come with me."

Captain Marvel didn't say anything more. She flapped her wings and took flight like a dazzling shooting star, speeding towards the Pacific Ocean, leaving a brilliant trail of light behind her as she streaked across the sky.

"Don't even think about escaping."

Wes's lips curled up slightly as he watched Captain Marvel's departing figure. He shrugged lightly and muttered, "Don't worry, I won't miss this good show."

In reality, he had no intention of escaping at all; on the contrary, he secretly regarded Captain Marvel as his prey.

"You don't need to go to such lengths. I'm happy to have a showdown with you."

Weiss murmured to himself, his voice as soft as a breeze, and it vanished into thin air in an instant.

Immediately afterward, he flashed away, as fast as a black lightning bolt, and swiftly chased after Captain Marvel.

He quickly caught up with Captain Marvel, and the two flew side by side in the sky.

The two were like two shooting stars streaking across the sky, flying at breakneck speed toward the Pacific Ocean.

Wes and Captain Marvel both unleashed their fastest speeds, their figures flashing across the vast sky, leaving only faint, blurry afterimages.

In less than a minute, they successfully crossed the long distance between bustling Seattle and the vast Pacific Ocean.

As the view beneath their feet gradually changed from a bustling city with towering buildings and heavy traffic to a vast, surging ocean, Wes and Captain Marvel simultaneously slowed down their flight.
