Chapter 1074 The Illuminati's Demise?
She saw another version of herself, constantly chasing after a panicked Latina girl.

Moreover, she saw another version of herself, holding a black book that exuded endless evil and unleashing the power to destroy everything.

What terrified her most was that she saw Billy and Tommy in these images.

In the scene she saw, the two people cried, ran, and then disappeared.

"No...no, let them go, keep them away from my child."

Wanda screamed and instinctively hugged her two children tighter, as if that would protect them from the terrifying hallucinations.

"Mom, you're hurting me!"

Tommy cried out in pain.

Billy was also frightened, his face turning pale, and he looked at his mother, who had suddenly become somewhat abnormal, with a sense of helplessness.

Wanda suddenly realized she had lost her composure.

She quickly released her arms, but the trembling in her body could not be stopped.

The fear and chill brought by those illusions clung to her soul like a leech.

Who is that terrifying "she"?
Is it yourself from another universe?
Did those scenes already happen, or are they about to happen?

What does "she" want to do?
Countless questions and fears overwhelmed her in an instant.

Just as Wanda was wondering why she was seeing these things, she was suddenly horrified to find that she could not move her body.

Immediately afterwards, her entire body stiffened, as if she had instantly turned into a stone statue, unable to bend even a single finger, only her eyes could still move in terror.

"Mother?"

Tommy and Billy looked up at her in fear.

Then, a chill that seemed to freeze the soul suddenly erupted from the deepest part of Wanda's body, instantly engulfing every cell in her body.

"Do not--!!!"

Wanda screamed in despair from the depths of her heart.

She could clearly feel another cold, crazy, and powerful consciousness forcibly covering her own.

Her vision began to blur and turn reddish; familiar scenes were distorted.

The next second, endless darkness completely engulfed her.

……

When Peter, using Azu's body, finally found Wanda's dwelling place in this world, he only saw a bizarre sight.

The door was ajar, the room was brightly lit, and even the oven light in the kitchen was on. There were a few slightly burnt cookies on the baking tray, and the air was filled with a warm, sweet, and milky aroma.

However, the house was empty.

There was no Wanda, and no one else.

On the living room carpet, there were open picture books and a few crayons scattered about, as if the owner had just been playing there and then vanished into thin air.

Peter crouched down, ran his fingers across the carpet, sensing the residual energy, and his expression turned serious.

"It seems I am late..."

He muttered to himself, the voice coming through Azu's vocal cords, "I guess Wanda's consciousness has been completely overtaken... She has completely taken control of Wanda's body in this universe."

Peter stood up and looked around the empty room, which was full of life yet inexplicably sent chills down his spine.

Wanda's efficiency and ruthless methods made him feel a little uneasy.

She not only quickly located herself in this universe, but also completed the crucial "possession" with lightning speed, leaving no trace of resistance or struggle.

Peter previously speculated that Wanda jumped into a multiverse portal and was likely swept into other universes by the turbulence, which is why she didn't enter this universe.

Raven and Bruce have probably also entered other universes.

It seems I need to use "The Sleepwalking Wizard" to contact Raven and see if she and Bruce have entered the same universe as Wanda.

However, since he is currently controlling Azu's body, the "Sleepwalking Wizard" skill is temporarily unusable.

The most important thing now is to stop Wanda from controlling the universe.

A look of seriousness flashed in Peter's eyes. His figure disappeared from the room in an instant, chasing after the direction where he sensed the dark energy was the most concentrated.

……

Meanwhile, at the Illuminati headquarters, in the courtroom.

Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange, was also locked in a specially made glass box with his hands restrained by energy-damping handcuffs.

Captain Carter, Mr. Fantastic Reed, Captain Marvel Maria, Professor X, and Baron Mordo are seriously interrogating him about the violent intruder "Homelander."

"Who exactly is that superhuman in the blue bodysuit, behaving so rudely and barbarically? Which universe does he come from? What is his purpose?"

Captain Carter asked sharply, her previous brief encounter filling her with wariness and disgust towards Azu.

That race of knights is a bastard, an arrogant idiot!

Stephen sighed, knowing there was no point in hiding it, so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "His name is Homelander, but his more important identity is... the son of Peter Patrick."

"Peter Patrick?"

Captain Carter frowned and looked at the others, who all looked puzzled, clearly having never heard of the name. "Who is that?"

"he is……"

Stephen carefully considered his words, a complex expression on his face. "He is... an extremely special being in the multiverse, perhaps one of the most powerful superheroes, but more accurately, he is a maintainer, a balancer."

He paused, noticing the skeptical expressions on the faces of the Illuminati members, and continued to explain:

“Peter Patrick is far more powerful than you can imagine. His farm houses ‘problematic individuals’ from countless universes who have a special connection to him. Many of them (actually Nick Fury) call them ‘Father Worries.’ Homelander John Patrick is one of them, and also his eldest son.”

"As for Peter Patrick himself..."

Stephen's voice became deep and mysterious, "In the entire infinite multiverse, he is unique; there is no other variant of him."

"only?"

Mr. Fantastic Reed grasped this scientific concept that contradicted his understanding: "How is this possible? The multiverse has infinite possibilities..."

"That's what makes him so special."

Stephen interrupted him, "No one knows why, and he possesses an ability that we cannot comprehend."

He looked at Professor X. "Professor, you claim to be a psychic, so you should know about the power of dreams."

Professor X nodded slightly, his expression grave.

“Peter Patrick…” Stephen said slowly, “He controls the dreams of the beings in his universe.”

Upon hearing Stephen's words, the hall fell silent instantly.

The dream that controls all living beings?

What incredible, almost divine power this is!
"what do you mean……"

Captain Carter, still somewhat skeptical, processed the information and continued, "He is... the god of sleep? Or rather... the god of dreams?"

"I don't know what he is."

Stephen shook his head, his eyes deep. "But in the dream dimension, he... is the ruler. Theoretically, once you enter the dream, he is invincible. He once..."

Just as Stephen was about to explain further how Peter had used the Time Stone to defeat Thanos, an extremely piercing, highest-level alarm suddenly blared throughout the entire Illuminati headquarters.

The red warning lights flashed wildly, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

"what happened?!"

Captain Carter immediately asked the air.

A synthesized electronic voice announced: "Warning: An ultra-high intensity energy source has been detected inside the base, breaching all internal defenses. Target path is pointing towards—the multiverse anomaly containment zone!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing that intruders had entered the containment zone, the expressions of all the Illuminati members changed drastically.

"Pull up the surveillance footage immediately!" Mr. Fantastic Reed shouted.

The holographic screen in the center of the hall immediately lit up, showing a figure wearing a scarlet battle suit, with long hair moving without wind and eyes burning with crimson flames, walking step by step down the cold metal corridor of the headquarters.

Behind the other side was a scene of devastation and the wreckage of the Ultron robot reduced to scrap metal.

The body of Wanda from Universe 838, controlled by Wanda, slowly walked towards the deepest part of the containment area.

With each step she took, the heavy alloy gate in front of her seemed to be twisted and distorted as if being crushed by an invisible giant hand.

Any laser defense or energy barrier melts away in front of her like ice and snow under the sun.

“Wanda… Maximov…”

Captain Carter stared at the monitor in disbelief. "How could she... be so strong?!"

Captain Marvel Maria and Mr. Fantastic Reed, who had previously dismissed Stephen's warnings, now looked extremely grim. The power Wanda displayed in the surveillance footage had exceeded their expectations.

the other side.

Inside the containment area, Christine Palmer watched in horror as the figure approached on the surveillance screen.

At that moment, she finally realized that Stephen Strange was not exaggerating at all.

This Wanda threat is devastating!

"Activate the emergency transfer protocol and transport the containment unit to the safe house."

Christine shouted into the console while her hands flew across the controls.

However, a glaring red error message suddenly popped up on the console: "Error! Permission conflict, the protocol is locked by a higher priority command!"

"what?!"

Christine was horrified. She tried to manually override the commands, but found that the entire panel suddenly went black and became completely unusable.

"no no!"

Christine frantically pounded on the control panel.

While anxious, her gaze fell on the reinforced glass containment box made of a special transparent material that held America.

Inside, America was huddled up in fear, trembling.

Christine looked around and saw a metal crowbar used to secure pipes against the wall.

She immediately rushed over, grabbed a crowbar, and smashed it against the hard glass with all her might.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Sparks flew as the crowbar struck the glass, leaving only a few shallow white marks; it was completely unbreakable.

This material was specially made to imprison superhumans and energy beings; it cannot be destroyed by human power.

"Damn!!"

Christine was frantic.

Just as she was frantically racking her brains, trying to figure out what to do...

"boom!!!"

The final safety gate of the containment zone, which was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of the warship's main guns, was completely torn apart and blown away.

Amidst the billowing smoke, a scarlet figure slowly entered.

Wanda's gaze instantly locked onto America Chavez in the glass case.

"finally found you."

Wanda's voice, coming from 838 Wanda's voice, made Christine swallow hard.

Just as Wanda slowly walked towards America, several portals opened within the containment area.

The Illuminati members finally arrived in time.

Captain Carter, Captain Marvel Maria, Mr. Fantastic Reed, Professor X, and Black Bolt, except for Mordo, all arrived.

Black Bolt appeared first, keeping a close eye on Wanda. The electrodes on his head had begun to flicker, indicating that he was gathering power.

"Wanda Maximov, stop your actions immediately!"

Captain Carter raised his shield and shouted sternly.

Wanda slowly turned around, her scarlet eyes sweeping over the crowd, a mocking look on her face.

Mr. Fantastic Reed stepped forward, attempting to resolve the crisis rationally.

"Wanda, listen to me. We know you are powerful, but you don't understand the power of our universe. Do you see that one?"

He pointed at Black Bolt, “Black Bolt, his voice is powerful enough to tear planets apart. He only needs to use his mouth to utter a single word to completely defeat you. Lay down your resistance, and we can talk.”

Wanda's gaze shifted to Black Bolt, a hint of curiosity flashing in her crimson eyes.

"Speak with your mouth?"

She tilted her head and repeated in a flat tone, "What mouth?"

Everyone was taken aback and instinctively looked towards Black Bat.

The next second, everyone who saw Black Bolt, including America and Christine in the glass case, stared wide-eyed in horror.

To everyone's disbelief, Black Bolt's tightly closed mouth, which contained destructive power, disappeared.

It wasn't stitched up or covered up, but rather his entire facial area below his nose became incredibly smooth and intact, as if he had never had a mouth at all.

Black Bolt himself sensed this strange change. He touched the smooth lower half of his face in horror, making a "hoarse" sound in his throat, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His ultimate weapon was completely wiped out by the other party with a single, understated remark and a method that altered reality.

Before anyone could even react to this unbelievable and terrifying scene...

Wanda seemed to find the silent king somewhat of an eyesore, so she casually and gently shook hands with him from a distance.

"Pfft!"

A sickening, muffled thud, as if flesh and bone were being forcibly squeezed and burst, rang out.

The incredibly powerful Black Bolt couldn't even utter a scream; his entire head exploded instantly, like a watermelon crushed by an invisible giant hand.

Red and white splattered everywhere, the headless corpse swayed, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

One of the Illuminati's most powerful forces, the Inhuman King, was so easily killed as if he were an insect.
"Do not!!!"

Mr. Fantastic Reed let out a furious roar, his body instantly stretching out like rubber as he shot towards Wanda, attempting to entangle her.

But Wanda merely glanced at him casually and pointed a finger at him lightly.

Reed's supple body instantly stiffened, and then, as if subjected to the most vicious transformation spell, his limbs, torso, head... began to twist and stretch wildly.

In the blink of an eye, to everyone's astonishment, Mr. Fantastic was transformed into a bunch of colorful, twisted, and tangled spaghetti, and with a "snap," he was tightly tied to a metal pillar next to him, still trembling slightly.

With a casual strike from Wanda, a top scientific genius and superhero was instantly turned into a decorative line.

"Reed!"

Captain Carter and Captain Marvel were furious.

Without further hesitation, the two launched their strongest attacks simultaneously.

Captain Carter hurled his vibranium shield with all his might.

Captain Marvel Maria erupted with a dazzling energy like that of a star, unleashing two torrents of energy from her fists, each powerful enough to melt through mountains.

Faced with the combined attack of the two, Wanda didn't even move her feet, but simply raised her other hand slightly.

The vibranium shield flew a few meters away from her, as if it had crashed into an absolutely invisible wall, letting out a mournful cry. All its kinetic energy was instantly absorbed, and then it fell to the ground with a "clang".

The immense energy torrent released by Captain Marvel was easily absorbed and swallowed up when it came into contact with the air in front of her palm, just like a stream flowing into the ocean, without even causing a ripple.

"How can this be?!"

Captain Marvel Maria watched in disbelief as her all-out attack was so easily neutralized by her opponent.

Wanda seemed slightly annoyed by the two men's attacks, and she moved her other hand slightly.

Captain Carter and Captain Marvel suddenly felt an irresistible and terrifying force acting on them.

"Crack!"

Captain Carter heard a clear cracking sound from his shield-wielding arm, followed by excruciating pain. He was slammed into the wall, deeply embedded, and unable to move for a moment.

Captain Marvel Maria was slammed to the ground by an invisible force, and the energy aura around her instantly dissipated.

In just one exchange, the Light Society was defeated by Wanda and found itself at a disadvantage.

Wanda no longer looked at Captain Carter and Captain Marvel, but returned to the glass box containing America and walked forward step by step.

Wanda walked to the glass case, looked at the panicked America inside, and slowly raised her free hand, dark red energy gathering at her fingertips.

"Your power... is mine now."

"No, child, her power does not belong to you."

Just as Wanda was about to make her move against America, a voice echoed in her mind.

She turned around in surprise and found a bald old man in a wheelchair standing behind her.

Professor X looked at Wanda with a serious expression and launched a mental attack on her.
