Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

Gravik slowly counted down, his eyes fixed on Peter, eager to see the moment the other man's knees bend.

Finally, Peter made a move.

But it wasn't the kneeling and begging for mercy he had imagined.

The damned Earthling just chuckled.

It was still that same smile that he found utterly repulsive—relaxed and nonchalant, as if it had never taken his threat to heart.

"I thought you had some amazing trump card up your sleeve."

Peter removed his hand from the Mantis woman's shoulder and uttered words that instantly made Gravik blush:

"That's all?"

Gravik's smile froze on his face, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

Is this guy really not taking the bait?

"Judge, are you sure you want to watch those Earthlings die with me?" His voice rose several octaves.

"I'm not kidding, as long as I press this button..."

Before he could finish speaking, a clear female voice suddenly rang out on the battlefield:

"What button?"

The speaker was none other than Wanda!

Her voice was soft, with an upward inflection, revealing a pure curiosity.

Upon hearing this question, Gravik was taken aback, and then... he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Because he noticed a detail that sent chills down his spine.

Wanda has changed!

It's not some vague, ethereal change in temperament or aura, but a real, tangible change that's visible to the naked eye.

Her pupils changed from brown to deep red, and her clothes gradually transformed into a style resembling a cape.

And on her forehead, a dark red crown had appeared out of nowhere.

The crown was formed from crimson chaotic energy, and every angle emanated a terrifying magical fluctuation.

Feeling the heart-pounding magical fluctuations, Gravik's heart skipped a beat.

What's happening here?

Why did this woman suddenly change like this? And what was the meaning behind her question just now?

Gravik instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Something is definitely not right!

He subconsciously looked down at his right hand.

During this process, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.

Because he suddenly realized that the remote control in his hand... had disappeared!

Instead, there was a lively toad with bumpy skin.

"Croak~"

The moment their eyes met, the toad even gave Gravik a friendly croak.

But that one shout caused Gravik's composure to crumble on the spot...

Chapter 324 The Death of Gravik

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

"Don't fucking joke around!"

Gravik, regaining his senses, felt like he was going crazy. He pressed down on the toad with all his might, trying to prove that it was just an illusion created by Wanda, and that the toad in his hand was actually a remote control.

Pfft~

Under his forceful pressure, the toad's foul-smelling body burst open, and filthy blood mixed with pus splattered onto Gravik's face.

This made him feel as if all the bones in his body had been removed, causing him to collapse to the ground in that instant.

The satellite signal faithfully recorded this scene and broadcast it around the world.

The comments section was silent for two seconds, then exploded instantly.

"Hahahaha, I really can't take it anymore!"

"I'm dying of laughter! What kind of nonsense is this—the remote control turning into a toad?!"

"So the threat of thirteen nuclear weapons was just resolved like that?"

"But how exactly did that happen? Why did the remote control turn into a toad in an instant?"

"It's probably the work of that girl in red and the Arbiter!"

"The Arbiter is awesome! The Scarlet Witch is awesome!"

Although this was Wanda's first public appearance, her scarlet cloak and the Chaos Crown on her head earned her the nickname "Scarlet Witch" from the audience.

Gravik couldn't see the comments, but at that moment, his doubts were no less than those of the global audience.

His finger trembled as he pointed at Wanda, his voice becoming incredibly shrill with overwhelming excitement:

"How...how did you do that? Why did my remote control..."

Wanda did not answer Gravik.

Because even she herself didn't understand what had happened.

She simply followed the man's advice, and then she felt an unprecedented, terrifying energy surge into her body, instantly detonating the energy that was originally hidden within her, energy that even she herself was unaware of.

That terrifying energy even instilled a strong sense of fear in her.

Just as everyone present was waiting for an answer, Peter's calm voice rang out:

"Since you have asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you."

"To prevent the world from being destroyed, to protect world peace... I just gave her a small boost."

Indeed, during the 30 seconds of the countdown in Gravik, Peter did not hesitate or struggle, but focused all his time and energy on how to enhance Wanda.

……

Half a minute ago.

Within the inner world established by Mantis, Wanda gazes around at her surroundings with a sense of bewilderment.

Just as she felt intense unease and instinctively wanted to use the chaos magic within her to break through this inner space, Peter appeared behind Wanda:

"Wanda, you've heard what's happening outside. Now, only you can save this world."

“You are… Peter Parker?” Turning around, Wanda was startled to see Peter, then displayed intense hostility:

"What do you mean by that?"

"It means exactly what it says. Even I couldn't stop him from pressing that button without him noticing, or disable all the nuclear weapons before he pressed it."

Peter looked at Wanda with a sincere expression and began to speak.

“But you can. I can clearly sense the immense power within you, a power that can even directly alter reality.”

Others may not know how terrifying the potential within Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, is, but how could he, a transmigrator, not know?

It can be said that Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, is the most powerful human in the entire Marvel Universe.

The chaos magic she possesses may have the power to directly rewrite the rules or even erase reality.

In the cinematic universe, her power is only in its initial awakening, yet it is enough to cover the entire town of Xijing, turning it into her own little world.

In the comics, a heartbroken Scarlet Witch can wipe out all mutant genes on Earth with just one sentence!

With such a bug-level, overpowered ability, turning a remote control into nothing is naturally a piece of cake.

Therefore, Peter was certain that as long as he could help Wanda unleash the chaotic magic within her, he could perfectly resolve this crisis.

"You are the most unique existence on this earth. Putting me aside, there may be no one more outstanding than you in this world."

As Peter spoke, he moved closer and closer to Wanda.

Wanda looked at Peter, her eyes still filled with wariness.

But considering the situation outside, she ultimately did not choose to resist or attack Peter.

"Are you sure I can really do it?" Wanda, who lacked love since childhood and received almost no affirmation during her growth, couldn't help but ask this question as if possessed.

“It’s not that you can do it, it’s that only you can do it.” As he spoke, Peter placed his hand on Wanda’s shoulder and poured his divine energy into her body without reservation.

During this process, he could clearly feel his Observation Haki in his mind frantically issuing warnings.

It seemed to be a reminder to him that his current actions could lead to terrifying consequences.

But Peter couldn't worry about that right now.

He simply couldn't bear to watch hundreds of millions of lives perish because of his choices.

And then, everything just happened naturally.

Amplified by the divine energy, Wanda's chaotic magic was fully unleashed, even though she had not yet experienced the pain of losing her brother or her lover.

Yet, in that instant, she still unleashed a level of power comparable to what she achieved in "WandaVision".

……

Upon hearing Peter's nonchalant reply, Gravik froze on the spot, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"No... I don't accept this ending!"

Gravik's eyes were bloodshot, and his body began to swell violently. The four genetic energies fused within him were operating at their limits simultaneously, rock-like scales covered his entire body, and the Extremis virus caused his body temperature to soar to over a thousand degrees.

He was going to take a desperate gamble.

He wanted to die together with this man.

Even if we can't win, we'll take someone down with us!
