My last name is Stark after I changed my job to become a female musketeer?

Chapter 584 I saw... I saw the end of the world...

After this immersive pursuit and discussion, Wanda quickly accepted Lainie's theory that superpowers are extraordinary.

But then Wanda asked Lainie if there were other examples like Skye in SHIELD, but Lainie's answer was——

"No."

Laini shook her head and waved her hand to conjure up the scene when Skye touched the obelisk alone in the cabin.

"Skye is the only person in SHIELD who has gotten rid of the petrification phenomenon on his own so far, and the only one who successfully obtained superpowers through the obelisk."

Wanda looked at the petrification that gradually spread upward from Skye's palm, and couldn't help but recall the "volunteers" who participated in Baron Strucker's human experiments with her brother and sister.

They did not survive the pain of near death like herself and her brother Pietro.

Although Wanda did not witness the miserable state of those people, she could imagine what would happen to those people who never appeared again just from the painful screams that echoed in the underground experimental base.

"So, your SHIELD is the same as Hydra?"

Wanda stared at the completely petrified statue of Skye, thinking that before Skye, many people had turned into stone because they came into contact with the obelisk at the request of SHIELD?

"No, in fact, there are more than one supernatural object like obelisk. The earliest thing was actually those Hydras who were studying them. After the end of World War II, the Strategic Scientific Corps, the predecessor of SHIELD, confiscated one of them and sealed it up, and learned about the terrible effect of this mysterious obelisk."

Lainie waved her hand and conjured up another scene, which showed the scene of herself and Skye and others intercepting the second-in-command Jing Xinyouliang of the Hand.

"What Skye touched was actually this piece."

Wanda couldn't help but frown as she watched the strange man hiding in the Bentley car and touching the obelisk without permission, which eventually turned him into stone.

"You kidnapped him?"

"I guess so, but he himself didn't know the origin of the obelisk, and tried to use it to gain superpowers, and finally turned into stone..."

Laini didn't hide it, nor did she explain why she didn't save Jing Xin Youliang at the beginning. She didn't think she did anything wrong.

"Touching the power that you can't control without permission, and eventually being backfired by the power, this kind of plot that has been cliched in movies, I don't care."

"But..."

Wanda still felt a little uncomfortable.

"There's nothing to complain about. The reason we went to him was because we didn't want to see more tragedies like his happen. But who would have thought that this guy would be so stupid as to hold that thing in his hand."

Laini was too lazy to dwell on these meaningless past events. She simply waved her hand to remove all the illusions and walked to Wanda to look at her.

"From ancient times to the present, countless lessons in history have told us that once people have mastered a certain powerful power, they will often be tempted by it and eventually go to destruction.

Jing Xinyouliang is just one example. His tragedy is not without precedent, and it will not be the last one."

Wanda looked at Lai Ni's firm and indifferent eyes, with mixed feelings in her heart.

She understood that Lai Ni's words were not unreasonable, but she still could not fully accept this indifferent attitude.

"What about Skye? Can you guarantee that she won't be tempted by this power?"

"Of course not. She is a person with her own thoughts and cognition, not someone's pet..."

Laini smiled and thought that it was a good thing that no one else could hear their conversation, otherwise Skye would have to show her teeth at her.

"However, since I brought her to join SHIELD and it was me who let her touch the obelisk, then I naturally have the responsibility to lead her on the right track, even though I dare not guarantee that the path I take is definitely correct..."

Facing Wanda's crimson eyes, Lainie's eyes were full of firm confidence.

"But I can at least guarantee that her efforts will not be let down again."

Wanda was silent after hearing this. She could hear the meaning of Lainie's words. The other party's guarantee just now was actually also said to her.

You know, in this illusion space created by Wanda's mental control ability, what Lainie thought of at this moment was almost clear to her.

Of course, Wanda could see that the woman in front of her was actually planning to recruit her and her brother, and she also valued her abilities.

Wanda actually had some ideas about this. She didn't mind joining an alliance that at least sounded reliable.

But she always had a concern.

It wasn't that she was worried about the presence of Tony Stark, her past enemy, in this alliance.

Even as early as when she saw what Tony Stark was really afraid of, she already knew that Stark was not the arrogant guy that her brother and sister imagined.

She was just worried about the future of herself and her brother, whether her and her brother's abilities would be respected and protected in the alliance, and whether they would be used as tools, just like Baron Stark.

Wanda and her brother Pietro knew that Baron Strucker was not a good person. They had studied history and knew what kind of monsters Hydra was.

But at that time, they were only interested in revenge, and Baron Strucker happened to have such ability, so the two parties hit it off.

To put it nicely, they were mutually beneficial.

To put it bluntly, they were just using each other.

But now Baron Strucker has been captured, and he and his Hydra army have been destroyed by the Avengers.

The agreement between the two parties has been declared invalid, and Wanda must consider the future of her and her brother.

What Leni said before was right. Hatred cannot be the driving force for their future life. They need something else to support themselves.

Wanda took a deep breath and looked at the dark chaos in the distance, her heart full of confusion and uncertainty.

Seeing this, Leni on the side simply didn't say anything more.

Anyway, everything is still in time. Whether the brother and sister can join the Avengers depends on fate.

Thinking of this, Lainie simply changed the subject.

"By the way, what did you and Tony see before, and why were you so scared?"

Hearing this, Wanda, who was still in a daze, shuddered unconsciously.

"I saw... I saw the end of the world..."

As she spoke, Lainie felt that the chaotic space around her suddenly twisted, and the surrounding scene changed again.

Then, Lainie saw a battlefield full of corpses and blood. The strong bloody smell didn't even need Lainie to smell it deliberately, and the strong stench went straight into her nose.

Subconsciously reaching out to cover her mouth and nose, Lainie resisted the churning in her stomach and glanced at Wanda, who was also very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, the latter waved his hand to indicate that he could still bear it, and then pointed in the direction behind Lainie.

Lainie then looked back and saw a wormhole that looked like the gate of heaven standing on the land of corpses and blood in the distance. Inside, countless Chitauri armies and Chitauri monsters were attacking the battlefield where the two of them were!

The scene looked very much like what Tony saw in the original timeline, but it was more real, more shocking and terrifying than that scene.

Lainie couldn't help but frown. She didn't worry that those illusions would hurt herself. She simply stepped over the corpses and blood and walked towards the gate of heaven.

She seemed to have seen a familiar existence from the corpses in the distance.

Wanda behind her opened her red lips slightly when she saw this. She originally wanted to persuade Lainie not to go deeper, but seeing the latter's firm steps, she had to follow her honestly in the end.

Tony Stark was like this before. Even though he was surrounded by corpses of people he knew, he walked away without hesitation just like the person in front of him...

Laini didn't pay attention to Wanda behind her, and of course she didn't notice her actions just now.

In this spiritual world created by consciousness, the APG-63 radar on Lainie's body was ineffective, and she couldn't see everything around her.

She could only rely on her own eyes for the first time in a long time, trying to find the familiar places from the sea of ​​blood and corpses around her.

Coulson, Fury, Hill...

Fitz, Simmons, Maya Hansen...

One by one, extremely familiar figures appeared in Lainie's vision. Without exception, each of them fell in a pool of blood, and everyone's face was filled with pain.

Next came Natasha and Clint. One of them was stabbed in the stomach with a sharp weapon, and the other had his eyes dug out and his hands cut off.

Lainie's eyes stayed on their wounds for a while, and her frown was almost twisted into a ball.

Looking further, Skye, who was lying in a pool of blood, had his arms shattered into powder, and next to him was Sif, who was nailed to the ground by a broken sword.

Lainie recognized the broken sword, which was the holy sword she gave to Sif, but now there were gaps on the blade, and the originally luxurious engravings were also stained with glaring blood.

Thor's body was split in half from the shoulder, and the hammer that had always accompanied him was broken into pieces.

Even the extremely powerful Hulk had his head chopped off, and several sharp spears were stuck in his body, one of which pierced Hulk's heart and nailed him firmly to the stone steps.

Rody's body and armor were torn into pieces, and his upper body was crushed into a meat pie.

If it weren't for the existence of the War Machine armor, Lainie might not have recognized that the puddle of meat was him.

Then it was Steve. His body looked intact, but the bleeding head showed that he didn't make it to the end.

At the same time, as expected, the originally extremely solid Vibranium shield was broken into two halves, one half in Steve's hand and the other half on the ground...

Lainie took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in her heart for a while.

This scene was too despairing. If Lainie hadn't known in advance that this was just an illusion and had prepared for it in advance.

If it were someone else, it would be lucky if they didn't go crazy on the spot.

But what made Lainie feel a little strange was that she didn't see her own existence among these shocking corpses.

Logically speaking, since this was Tony's inner fear, it was natural that there was no Tony's body.

But why was there no corpse of her own here?

And didn’t Wanda say before that she was dead too? Why not?

“This is! How is it possible?!”

Wanda’s surprised voice came from behind, and Lainie looked over, only to see Wanda staring at a corpse on the ground in a daze.

Laini looked at the corpse carefully and found that it was Pietro who was shot several times and looked like a sieve!

Laini couldn’t help but exclaimed in surprise.

This death is a bit familiar, it is exactly the way Pietro died to save Clint and the little boy in the original timeline!

“No, this is not right! How could Pietro appear here!”

Wanda seemed to be unable to accept it, muttering in her mouth.

And then, as if because her mood was affected, the originally desperate and stable illusion began to distort and collapse at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Lainie hurried to Wanda’s side to comfort her, and it took a while for her disordered and restless breath to calm down again.

"What's going on?"

After Wanda calmed down completely, Leni looked at the dark and chaotic environment around her, and then asked in a deep voice:

"Is the illusion you saw before different from the scene just now?"

Hearing this, Wanda, whose forehead was already covered with sweat, nodded hesitantly, but then shook his head.

"Very similar, but not exactly the same. I didn't see my brother's body in the previous illusion."

Wanda tried not to recall the desperate picture just now, but as long as she closed her eyes, her brother Pietro's miserable death began to appear uncontrollably in front of her eyes.

Hearing Wanda say this, Leni's brows couldn't help but frown deeper.

I couldn't find my own body in the environment, but Wanda saw his brother Pietro's death.

Is there a deviation in the memory illusion?

Is it affected by myself?

Or is there something else that affects Wanda's ability?

After thinking for a long time, Lainie looked at the chaos around her and felt overwhelmed for a moment.

But she was not the real master of this space. Even if she could show her memory here, she still had to rely on Wanda, the real controller, to figure out the situation.

"Wanda, can you try to re-embody the memory just now?"

Lainie wanted to study it carefully again to see if she could find any clues from the memory illusion itself.

However, after trying it, Wanda shook her head helplessly.

"No, I can't concentrate on re-embodying it. I... I feel a little uncomfortable..."

Wanda pressed her forehead in pain, and it didn't look like she was faking it.

Lainie couldn't force it, so she could only put it aside for the time being, and planned to wait for Wanda to really calm down before studying what went wrong.
