American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

Locke gazed into the distance, then suddenly frowned: "Where did that most powerful Scarlet Witch go?"

The most powerful Scarlet Witch Locke had ever seen before had, to be honest, shocked him quite a bit. Now that he was stronger, Locke understood even more clearly just how terrifying her strength was!

The peak of the Heavenly Father, at the very least! It is even possible that they have already begun to transcend the Heavenly Father and have begun to come into contact with the level of a single universe.

If one were not this powerful, one would not be able to perceive the greatest secret of the chaotic power and understand the truth of its source.

Upon hearing this, Wanda suddenly gave a strange smile: "Oh, she went to find someone."

"She's very determined to find that person!"

Locke frowned slightly. He naturally understood who the most powerful Scarlet Witch wanted to find and what her purpose was.

A Scarlet Witch, at least at the peak of the Heavenly Father realm, or even stronger, and who is both beautiful and sexy, is single-mindedly searching for him. If it were anyone else, they would probably be excited, but Locke was not; he was very resistant to the idea.

Unlike Locke himself and Wanda beside him, the Super Scarlet Witch was clearly nearing maturity, and for the God of Dark Magic, Sithon, she was already a super feast that was almost complete.

It doesn't matter if I sever my connection with the source of chaos with Tom's help, or even if I add Wanda to the mix, but the Super Scarlet Witch is different.

The difference between a seed just beginning to develop and a super-sized meal that's about to be completed is obvious even to a fool.

The moment Locke and Tom dared to act, Sithon would descend and chat with Locke the next second. Locke would be crazy to face a multi-dimensional being head-on for a complete stranger.

Locke shook his head: "Let's not think about those things for now."

Whether the Super Scarlet Witch can find him is still unknown. The highest known number for the parallel universes in the Marvel universe is 199999, which is more than 190,000 parallel universes!

This is just what's known; who knows how much is unknown?

"So, Wanda, are you going to rely on your own strength to move forward, or do you want me to help you cut off your own destiny?"

Wanda smiled faintly: "Then I'll trouble you."

"I thought you would hesitate, after all, cutting ties with fate also means saying goodbye to some things that are destined for you."

"Something destined for us? You mean my future 'husband'?"

"To be honest, I don't have high expectations for a robot husband."

“Besides…” Wanda glanced at Locke out of the corner of her eye.

Locke naturally noticed Wanda's subtle movements, and a smile inexplicably crept onto his lips.

There's a conspiracy theory that Wanda fell in love with Vision because her own powers were awakened by the Mind Stone, and Vision was also created by the Mind Stone, so there's a strange attraction between them.

Otherwise, with so many superheroes around her, how could Wanda fall in love with a robot?

It was precisely because she fell in love with a robot, a special life form that was incomplete and did not understand love, that all her emotions were misplaced, which led to Wanda's series of tragedies.

Now, Vision hasn't even been born yet, and Wanda is already resisting his tragic future. In comparison, it's easy to see which is more attractive: Locke, who is superior in every way and possesses the same power as him.

"In that case..."

"Tom!"

"Meow~" Tom rubbed his sleepy eyes and appeared beside Locke.

"Tom, one more time, sever the connections around here."

Tom nodded, then leaped up with practiced ease, nibbling at the surrounding crimson pillars of light like he was gnawing on a carrot.

Soon, in just a few breaths, the surrounding crimson light pillars were gnawed through, and the surrounding space began to collapse.

One second, two seconds...

After an unknown amount of time, Wanda, as if having experienced a long slumber, slowly opened her eyes.

The unfamiliar light made Wanda's eyes feel slightly uncomfortable, but as time passed, her vision gradually cleared, and a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in her sight.

Under the warm light, a handsome man holding a cat wore a gentle smile.

"Wanda, welcome to everything new~"

Chapter 43 The First General of Hellfire

At the top of a massive complex, Locke looked down at the top of the Hydra base, the highest level of the base, offering a panoramic view of the entire structure.

Following Locke was not the White Queen, who was always by his side, but the newborn Wanda.

Wanda looked down at the Hydra base, which was completely different from the one she remembered. Gone was the coldness of the past; it was now filled with a lot of life. More importantly, the entire base was filled with powerful auras rising and falling.

Locke was never stingy with rewards for his subordinates. For example, the "Knight's Breathing Technique - Apprentice Edition" was a relatively basic technique, and at this time, almost everyone in the Hydra base had a copy.

Even though not everyone can become an apprentice in just a few days like Locke and Frank, the base warriors have also made great progress in strength, and quite a few have officially reached the third-rate level on the surface.

Suddenly, Wanda looked in a direction with some surprise. There was a group of base soldiers training there, and among them was someone Wanda recognized very well—her own younger brother.

"Can Pietro come along too?"

"Of course, I don't mind every one of my warriors becoming stronger, and I even look forward to them becoming stronger."

“Pietro’s aptitude is not bad. He is one of the few among this group of warriors who has truly become a knight’s apprentice. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is exceptionally talented.”

Wanda smiled gently: "That's wonderful!"

She liked the current Hydra base—no, she should say the new Hellfire base. The atmosphere was great, everyone was getting stronger, there was no chaos, and everyone was doing well.

However, when she thought of what she had seen in her memory, Wanda's expression became complicated again.

A hand suddenly rested on her head, gently stroking her golden hair: "You're thinking about Pietro's future death, aren't you?"

"Don't worry about those things. Putting aside the fact that you've already severed your own destiny, Pietro himself is now an apprentice who has undergone professional combat training. Both his strength and combat skills have greatly improved. He will definitely not die a ridiculous death like you saw."

If a speedster dies from a bullet, other speedsters would laugh themselves to death if they saw it.

Wanda blushed slightly, but did not break free from the warm, large hand on her head.

“I remember that after the new Hellfire, all true members could receive the badge you bestowed upon them…”

"Want to know how I'm going to arrange things between you and Pietro?"

"Mmm." Wanda nodded.

After a moment's thought, Locke said, "I can leave Pietro a Jack, but he's still far from qualified. Even if I activate the extreme speed power within him, it's still not enough."

Wanda didn't object or question it; instead, she asked with some curiosity, "J-brand, I remember you said that it belongs to the middle management of Hellfire, above the number badges, so the requirements must be very high. What are the specifics?"

"You should know about the Hellfire combat power detector, right?"

Wanda nodded.

"According to the rules I set, in order to obtain a digital badge, the minimum combat power requirement is more than 10. J-rank is the first tier of management, belonging to the level 2 Hellfire authority holders. To be worthy of J-rank, the minimum combat power requirement is 60!"

With a combat power of 60, it can be considered a relatively strong second-rate fighter on the surface. It is a force to be reckoned with anywhere. Only with this level of combat power can it avoid disgracing Hellfire when deployed outside.

“60? Pietro is indeed quite far from that.” Wanda, whose vision had surpassed that of ordinary people, clearly understood the concept of a combat power of 60.

"The minimum combat power requirement for J cards is 60, for Q cards it is 70, and for K cards it is 80. Above that, the true prestige of Hellfire, the four generals of Hellfire, must have a minimum combat power of over 100!"

Wanda nodded knowingly: "So, you've arranged for me to be one of the four generals?"

Locke smiled and leaned almost imperceptibly close to Wanda's small earlobe.

"The general will be the strongest warrior of Hellfire, but my expectations for you have never been those of a mere warrior."

Wanda blushed instantly, not because Locke was too close, but because she understood the hidden meaning in Locke's words.

"I, I'll go check on Pietro first~" After saying that, Wanda, her face flushed, disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Watching Wanda hurry away, Locke's lips curled up slightly.

In Hellfire, there can only be one King, but there can be more than one Queen.

"Then I wonder if I am qualified to become a general, sir?"

A strange voice rang in Locke's ears, but he couldn't see anyone around him.

Locke didn't turn around, nor was he surprised by the voice. He simply said, "It seems you've completely adapted to life here, Eisen."

"Please call me Master of Illusion, sir."

Locke nodded. It was understandable that anyone would have some stress response if their father personally placed them on the experimental table.

"Furthermore, yes, sir, life here is wonderful. There is no discrimination, no human experimentation, and you are the leader who never discriminates against mutants. This is a mutant's paradise!"

"I'm glad you've changed your mind. This thing should have belonged to you long ago." As he spoke, something appeared at Locke's fingertip, and he casually tossed it, sending it shooting off in a certain direction.

A hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the badge that looked like a flame - the Ace of Clubs!

The Illusion Master's face showed obvious excitement. Ever since his perverted father discovered his abilities, the Illusion Master had begun a miserable life. Forget about fatherly love, he didn't even have basic human rights.

Therefore, even though he possesses truly top-tier combat skills, the Illusion Master suffers from a severe lack of confidence and social isolation.

To others, this badge is a symbol of status; to the Master of Illusion, it is recognition! It is recognition of his value! That is why he is happy and excited.

"Huh~"

Suddenly, Locke exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong, sir?"

Locke smiled faintly: "If something's wrong, it's a good thing."

"One of your future companions is about to appear, do you want to go check him out?"

"If that's what you mean, of course, and I'm really looking forward to it."

Chapter 44 The Hulk

At a university in New York, during the end of get out of class, groups of students, symbolizing youth and vitality, left the campus. Among them was a woman who was noticeably older than the others, carrying several books, walking out of the campus alone. She looked much more mature than the other students, more like a teacher than a student.

As the older woman appeared, in a corner unnoticed by anyone, a man dressed like a beggar cautiously peeked out from somewhere.

At that moment, not far away, in a quiet bar called Time and Nostalgia Coffee Bar, a group of people were watching this place with great interest, or more accurately, watching the beggar.

Wanda, who was sitting next to Locke and holding a blue cat, was looking at the beggar with great interest.

"Is that the soldier you chose?"

"It seems like things aren't going very well."

The illusionist, standing to the side like an elegant servant, also gazed at the beggar with anticipation and curiosity.

"I can vaguely sense that there is an extremely violent power hidden within that guy, fierce and tyrannical, just like a wild beast!"

Upon hearing the illusion master's assessment, Locke took a sip of his coffee.

"It's not just a wild beast; the term 'ferocious beast' would be more appropriate."

The Illusion Master's expression shifted. A wild beast is merely a ferocious animal, while a ferocious beast far surpasses the level of an animal. To be described as a ferocious beast by the Master, it must be said that at this moment, the Illusion Master developed considerable interest in the beggar.

Wanda, who was holding Tom, looked thoughtful upon hearing this. Through her experiences in the Chaos Space, she had a far greater understanding of many things than others.

A human body concealing a wild beast; she seemed to know who it was.

"Is the warrior you chose the Hulk?"

Locke nodded, then shook his head: "It is Hulk, but not the Hulk you know."

"What I've set my sights on is the true Hulk, stripped of all impurities, the ultimate warrior with the potential to become a demon!"

Demonic potential!

The Illusion Master's eyes narrowed instantly, his gaze towards the beggar in the distance filled with disbelief.

Is that beggar-like guy really that strong?

Even Wanda was taken aback.

"A demon god? Is Hulk really that strong?"

What Wanda accessed through the Chaos Dimension was merely what other Wandas had experienced.

The Hulk who officially began to interact with Wanda was already a Hulk who had begun to merge with her, a Hulk who had already begun to weaken. Later, he was even beaten into a state of depression by Thanos's military-style punches. In Wanda's perception, this Hulk was strong, but that was all. He did not live up to the evaluation of being a demon god.

Locke smiled without saying a word. Outsiders who haven't encountered the most insane version of the Hulk will never understand the Hulk's true potential.

While Locke doesn't deny that the Hulk's power increases with anger, he believes it's actually a process of the Hulk constantly unleashing his potential.

"Let's keep an eye on this guy. Soon, he'll reach his peak in some ways."

The elderly woman had already left by car, with the beggar secretly following behind, and behind them was a group of people watching the show with great interest.

The car slowly came to a stop with a screech of the engine shutting off. The elderly woman was about to get out when suddenly…
