"They think they are chess players, but they don't know that some pieces can overturn the chessboard."
Hope rekindled in Ancient One's eyes, but he then turned his gaze to the two Earths in the sky that were getting closer and closer, his expression solemn: "But the current crisis is to separate the two universes. This requires the power of a creator god. We don't have time."
Before he could finish his words, Wanda chuckled.
"Mage," she stepped forward slowly, the crimson chaotic energy dancing in her hands like docile flames.
"Perhaps, your understanding of power needs to be updated."
Ancient One was stunned, he looked at the Scarlet Witch in front of him.
He could feel the immense, pure power of chaos within her.
Wanda didn't explain any further. She just raised her head and looked at the two planets in the sky that were about to collide.
Then, he raised his hands gracefully.
There are no complicated spells or cumbersome magic circles.
She just gently pushed forward like a conductor waving a baton.
hum!
An invisible will that transcends the laws of reality descended instantly.
Under the incredulous gaze of Master Ancient One, the scarlet Earth represented the universe of Xiao Han and others.
It was so steady and gentle, as if pushed by an invisible giant hand, that it began to slowly retreat.
The boundary between the two universes was redefined and rewritten under the influence of chaos magic.
The originally violent space turbulence became docile, and the distorted reality structure was forcibly smoothed out.
The entire separation process was smooth, without any energy leakage.
In just a dozen seconds, the ominous red space had completely disappeared, and the New York sky returned to its clear blue color.
Master Ancient One stood there in a daze, his mouth open, his long white beard trembling slightly in the wind, his mind blank.
He imagined countless brutal battles and great feats that would require the mobilization of all heroes and the exhaustion of all magic to accomplish.
But he never thought that this crisis that was enough to destroy two universes could be solved so easily by the red-haired witch in front of him?
"This... this is..." He couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
"Routine operation." Kara crossed her arms and walked over to him with a smile.
"Wanda's current power is beyond the comprehension of your universe."
Gu Ziyun also nodded and added: "Besides, Xiao Han hasn't made a move yet."
Diana gently explained: "Wanda's chaos magic has touched the origin of the multiverse."
Ancient One took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He looked at Xiao Han, his eyes becoming extremely complicated. There was shock and awe in them, but more of a sense of relief that he had finally found the answer.
"I understand." He saluted Xiao Han solemnly.
"It seems that the fate of this universe really needs a new guardian."
Xiao Han smiled slightly and walked up to him: "Now, do you still think we have no chance?"
Ancient One shook his head, his eyes gleaming with a light he had never seen before.
"No," his voice was firm and strong.
"From now on, Kamar-Taj, and all the heroes of this universe, are willing to obey your orders."
"Very good." Xiao Han nodded with satisfaction.
He looked up into the void, as if he could see the eyes hidden outside the dimension, watching all this.
Chapter 275 Crisis Resolved
"So."
Master Ancient One looked at Xiao Han, "What should we do next?"
Xiao Han looked at him, a hint of approval in his eyes.
He said directly, his voice calm, "I need you to be the true guardian of this universe."
Ancient One was stunned.
"Your battlefield is here." Xiao Han's eyes were deep.
"The threat of the Transcendent Gods looms over all universes. Every world needs its own strength to resist. And you are the pillar of this world."
"Gather your heroes, study your magic, and strengthen your dimensional barriers. Tell them the truth, and prepare them. When the real war comes, I need you to hold this line."
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Master Ancient One's heart.
He was no longer the victim who made a difficult decision in despair, but a commander who was entrusted with a heavier and more glorious mission.
He took a deep breath, and the confusion and shock in his eyes faded away, replaced by unprecedented determination.
"I understand." He saluted Xiao Han again solemnly.
"I will protect this universe until the last moment."
"Very good." Xiao Han nodded with satisfaction.
He raised his hand and opened a golden portal. On the other side of the portal was the Avengers base in their own universe.
"Well, see you later, Master."
Xiao Han said goodbye to him with the four girls, turned around and stepped into the portal.
Master Ancient One stood alone on the roof of the Sanctuary, watching the golden portal slowly close.
He looked up at the sky which had returned to tranquility, his eyes becoming sharp.
"King!" His voice resounded throughout Kamar-Taj.
"Call all mages and notify the Avengers! We have a new mission!"
……
【Earth—】
Avengers Base
Inside the command center, Tony Stark was pacing back and forth anxiously, while Dr. Banner and other heroes were waiting with serious expressions.
Suddenly, a golden portal opened in the center of the conference room, and Xiao Han and four others stepped out.
"Thank God! You're finally back!"
Tony was the first to rush forward. He looked everyone up and down, and after confirming that they were all safe, he asked anxiously, "What's the situation? What's on the other side? Has it been resolved?"
Xiao Han looked at him, then looked at the nervous faces around him and smiled.
"The situation has been resolved."
This casual answer stunned everyone present for a moment, and then they broke into huge cheers.
"Solved? It's that simple?" Adam was a little unbelievable.
"Great!" Spider-Man jumped up excitedly.
Tony let out a long sigh and relaxed completely. He slumped in his chair with a relieved smile on his face.
"That's good, that's good. Honestly, you almost scared me to death. Tell me quickly, what's going on over there?"
Xiao Han briefly explained the situation in the other universe, the existence of Master Ancient One, and their agreement.
"The Sorcerer Supreme of another universe is more powerful than ours?!" Dr. Banner pushed his glasses.
"So, not only did you resolve the crisis, but you also developed an ally from a parallel universe?" Tony raised his eyebrows and said in a teasing tone.
"With your efficiency, all the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be unemployed."
Xiao Han shrugged: "Okay, now that the crisis is temporarily resolved, we should go back."
He looked at everyone, "The daily protection of the Earth is now in your hands. Remember, always remain vigilant."
Banner nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, we will protect this place."
Tony also stood up and said with a smile, "Go back and have a good rest. Next time something like this happens, remember to let me know in advance so I can prepare some popcorn."
Xiao Han smiled and said nothing more.
He said goodbye to everyone and then opened the portal to the villa again.
Wanda, Kara, Diana and Gu Ziyun also smiled and waved to the Avengers, and stepped into the portal one by one.
As the golden light dissipated, the command center returned to calm again.
Tony Stark looked at the place where they disappeared, was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head with a helpless smile on his face.
"All right, guys," he said, turning to the group.
"It seems our backyard is safer than we thought. Now, let's deal with those frightened government officials."
……
Long Island Villa
The familiar salty and humid sea breeze and warm sunshine hit their faces, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can finally have a good rest." Wanda was the first to walk to the sofa and curled up like a cat.
Dijiang, Huofeng and Mo Qilin immediately surrounded them and rubbed their respective masters affectionately.
Diana looked around the modern villa and smiled, "It seems we will have some peaceful days from now on."
"I hope so." Kara stretched and lay down on the sofa.
Xiao Han walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the blue sea in the distance, but his heart was not as calm as he seemed.
He knew better than anyone that peace in the world was often just the calm before the storm.
The experiment of surpassing the gods is still going on, and the real crisis may come at any time.
But he didn't say it, he just turned around and looked at the warm scene in the living room, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
"Yeah," he said softly, "At least now, we can enjoy our daily lives."
In the following days, Xiao Han did not make any more cross-universe trips.
He fulfilled his promise and lived a rare period of daily life.
In the early morning, he would accompany Wanda to meditate on the rocks by the sea.
Wanda's chaos magic became deeper and more powerful after absorbing Xithorn's essence.
She no longer needed to deliberately control herself; the laws of reality were like flowing streams in her eyes, clear and natural.
In the morning, Xiao Han will conduct actual combat training with Diana, Kara, and Gu Ziyun in the underground training room.
Diana's fighting skills are combined with the power of a demigod, and every sword strike carries divine majesty.
Under Xiao Han's guidance, Kara began to learn how to control the biological force field more precisely, no longer relying solely on brute force and thermal vision.
She began to be able to use her bio-force, a field that distorted light and achieved temporary invisibility.
Gu Ziyun's progress is equally rapid. Her fighting style has become more calm and deadly. Her Vitruvian genes allow her to easily adapt to any combat environment.
The afternoon is the leisure time for the five of them.
Sometimes they would lie on the beach together in the sun and listen to Kara's stories about Krypton's past.
Sometimes Diana would share interesting stories about Paradise Island with them.
Wanda would laugh and tell about her and Quicksilver's childhood in Sokovia.
Most of the time, Xiao Han just listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words, enjoying the warmth.
He would take them shopping on New York's busiest commercial streets and watch them happily choose clothes and accessories.
He would also sit with them on the roof of the villa late at night, looking up at the stars and telling them strange stories about different universes that only he knew.
Time passes slowly in peace and warmth.
At this moment, he just wants to protect the daily life in front of him.
