Just arrived at Marvel, the system rewards the Man of Steel

"I'm just telling you the truth."

His voice was calm. "As for whether to believe it or not, it's up to you."

Wanda's chest heaved violently, and the red light in her eyes gradually faded.

She looked down at the burnt pages and felt a sudden wave of fatigue.

"If...if it really is Hydra..." Her voice trembled slightly.

"Then who should I direct my hatred towards?"

Xiao Han walked in front of her, half-knelt down, and looked at her at eye level: "Hatred doesn't need a target, Wanda. It will only consume you."

He held out his hand, and the shadow of the Mind Stone appeared in his palm. "I can teach you to control chaos magic, making you powerful enough to destroy the entire Hydra and even rewrite reality. Then, you can do whatever you want."

"But before that, you need to understand one thing..."

His golden eyes stared directly at her. "Power is not the answer, it is the tool. Use it for revenge, or use it to protect. It is up to you."

Wanda stared at him blankly, the anger in her eyes gradually replaced by confusion.

"I have no idea."

She whispered, "All these years, the only thing that has kept me alive is the desire for revenge. Without this, what else can I do?"

Xiao Han put away the Mind Stone and stood up: "You can become a hero, like you saw on the news today."

He pointed to a television replaying the hearings, where a crowd held up signs reading "Support Superman" and cheers came through the speakers.

Wanda was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Did you save me because you saw my potential, or simply because... you heard my cry for help?"

Xiao Han raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Both."

He turned and walked towards the French window, the sunlight outlining his tall silhouette. "Training will start tomorrow. You can rest today."

Wanda looked at his back and suddenly called out to him, "Wait!"

Xiao Han turned around.

"If...if I want to seek revenge on Hydra myself," a determination flashed in her eyes.

"Will you help me?"

Xiao Han smiled and said, "I will teach you how to control your power. As for how to use it, that's your choice."

After saying that, he pushed open the glass door and walked towards the beach, his black figure gradually moving away in the sunlight.

Wanda looked down at her hands, the crimson energy gently wrapped around her fingertips, no longer as violent as before.

She gently grasped the necklace on her chest, and the mind gem pulsed steadily, as if responding to her determination.

"Hydra..." She whispered the name, and the red light in her eyes was no longer chaotic, but condensed into a sharp edge.

Outside the window, the waves beat against the beach, the tides rose and fell, just like the surging emotions in her heart, and finally calmed down.

Wanda suddenly stood up from the sofa and quickly chased after Xiao Han outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"and many more!"

She stepped barefoot on the beach, fine sand spilling out from between her toes. "I can start training today."

Xiao Han stopped and turned to look at her: "Reason?"

Wanda took a deep breath, her fingers unconsciously stroking the necklace: "I... don't want to be haunted by nightmares anymore. Every time I close my eyes, those experimental scenes will..."

Her voice trembled slightly. “I want to learn to control it, not be controlled by it.”

Xiao Han looked at her for a moment and nodded: "Follow me."

The light in the underground training room automatically adjusted to a soft amber.

Xiao Han sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion in the middle and motioned Wanda to sit opposite him.

"The energy-raising technique of Kamar-Taj."

He placed his hands on his knees, palms facing up, and said, "Learn to breathe first."

Wanda imitated his posture, but found that even simple sitting cross-legged made her muscles tense.

Xiao Han reached out and gently touched her shoulder, and a warm current instantly dissolved the stiffness.

"Breathe in for four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds."

Xiao Han's voice carried a strange rhythm, "Feel the energy flowing through your meridians."

Wanda closed her eyes and followed the guidance.

At first she could only hear her own rapid heartbeat, but gradually, a strange buzzing sounded in her ears.

The crimson energy spontaneously circulated around her body, but it was no longer violent, but like a gentle stream.

"This is..." She opened her eyes in surprise.

"Your magic is responding to you." Golden runes lit up at Xiao Han's fingertips, drawing complex trajectories in the air.

"Chaos magic is different from ordinary spells. It comes from a very powerful energy, which is essentially a reality-distorting force."

Wanda tried to touch the runes, and the crimson energy immediately resonated with them, weaving gorgeous light patterns in the air.

"So my ability isn't a mutant gene?"

"Yes and no." Xiao Han waved his hand to disperse the runes.

"Your mutant genes are like a door, allowing Chaos Magic to choose you. But your innate mental strength is truly powerful."

Xiao Han taught her how to construct a protective shield with her mind, how to condense chaotic energy into physical weapons, and even how to use magic to briefly foresee the future.

Teaching begins

Wanda screamed seven times in a row from the sudden light bullets.

After failing for the eighth time, she angrily smashed the energy ball to the ground, but heard a chuckle in the exploding red light.

"why are you laughing?"

"I've met many mages," Xiao Han couldn't help laughing.

"You're the first one to hit the floor with chaos magic."

As dusk fell, Wanda finally managed to construct a complete shield that lasted for five seconds.

She turned around excitedly, only to find that Xiao Han was drawing complex golden tracks in the void, and the light bands composed of those runes were like a living galaxy.

Although she could already make the crimson energy change form at will, Xiao Han seemed to be even more powerful, and she had a long way to go to catch up.

"I've never felt so relaxed." Wanda looked at the energy butterfly dancing in her palm, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

Xiao Han stood up and said, "Rest. Excessive consumption will be counterproductive."

Wanda stood up and said suddenly, "I can cook. I can't just eat and live for free all the time."

Seeing Xiao Han raise his eyebrows, she quickly added, "When I'm at home, I often help my mother."

"OK." Xiao Han nodded.

In the kitchen

Wanda fumbled with the steak in the pan.

Oil splashed everywhere, and she subconsciously used chaos magic to form a barrier, which ended up dyeing the entire stove pink.

"Uh..."

She looked at the burnt steak awkwardly and said, "Maybe I'm not familiar with it..."

Xiao Han chuckled and took the spatula: "The heat is the key."

With a flick of his wrist, the steak flipped perfectly. "Chaos magic isn't suitable for frying steak, but it can be used to sense the state of ingredients."

Wanda leaned in to observe, her nose almost touching his arm: "How come you can even cook?"

"Actually, I'm Chinese." Xiao Han sprinkled a handful of spices, and the fragrance burst out instantly.

"In China, if you can't cook, it's a pity."

Dinner was unexpectedly delicious.

When Wanda took her first bite of the tender steak, her eyes lit up: "This is ten thousand times more delicious than Hydra's synthetic protein!"

Xiao Han shook the red wine glass: "I will teach you more complicated protective spells tomorrow."

Wanda suddenly put down her knife and fork, her voice soft but firm: "Thank you... not just for the training. But for giving me the right to choose."

The moonlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting their shadows on the wall.

The sound of waves in the distance seemed to be responding to this belated thank you.

Chapter 43: Jarvis, lock my armor, I don't want to hurt anyone.

Xiao Han stood on the terrace of the Changdao villa, the night breeze blowing through his black battle suit.

Wanda was already fast asleep in her bedroom, the magic necklace glowing faintly on her collarbone, allowing her to finally escape the nightmare.

"Turing." He called softly.

The AI ​​butler's voice sounded gently: "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Monitor Wanda's condition. If she wakes up, tell her I'm going out for a while."

"Yes sir."

Xiao Han raised his hand, and golden magical energy appeared at his fingertips, drawing a perfect arc in the air.

The hot golden sparks swirled and spread, forming a portal to the sun.

On the other side of the door is the surging corona, and the golden plasma is like a boiling ocean, emitting endless light and heat.

The bio-force field automatically blocks everything, retaining only warm energy.

He was about to step in when suddenly

[Ding! Abnormal fluctuations in the multiverse detected! ]

The system's prompt sounded in his mind.

[Emergency Mission Announced: Prevent the Zombie Virus from Spreading to Other Universes. Target World Coordinates Locked, Host, Please Head There Immediately.]

Xiao Han frowned slightly: "Zombie virus?"

The system did not explain much, only projecting a fragmented picture into his vision.

The rotting Captain America was tearing apart innocent civilians, the zombie-like Iron Man was roaring madly in his armor, and the whole world was plunged into a bloody doomsday.

"..."

Xiao Han was silent for a moment and looked back at the villa.

Wanda was still asleep, her training had just begun, but he had no time to waste.

"Turing, if Wanda asks, tell her I have something urgent to attend to and let her continue practicing as planned."

"Recorded. Good luck on your mission, sir."

Xiao Han no longer hesitated and raised his hand to open another portal.

This time, the other side of the door was no longer a blazing sun, but a gray sky.

new York

But it was completely different from the one he was familiar with.

The air was filled with smoke, buildings collapsed, and the streets were stained with blood.

He stepped in, and the moment the portal closed behind him, a foul smell of blood hit him in the face.

"Roar!!!"

On the street below, a group of zombies were frantically tearing apart a mutilated corpse.

Further away, a red and blue figure was swinging between the tall buildings. It was Spider-Man, but his uniform was tattered, half of his face had rotted away, and under the white eyepatch were a pair of scarlet eyes.

"Interesting." Xiao Han showed an interested expression.

"Zombie Universe."

He hovered high in the sky, his super vision instantly scanning the entire city.
