Marvel: Killing Makes You Stronger (Completed)

This combat style significantly limits the upper bounds of the sorcerers' combat abilities.

They can mostly only fight ordinary enemies. When facing slightly stronger opponents, they either have to resort to sacrificing lives or hold on until the Ancient One arrives. The number of sorcerers who die each year in Kamar-Taj is not insignificant.

The number of sorcerers in the three global sanctuaries, along with those in Kamar-Taj, has never increased. Is it because sorcerers are too poor to support themselves?

That's not the case. Kamar-Taj, as an organization with millennia of history, certainly doesn't lack resources for the sorcerers. The main reason is that the threshold of death for sorcerers is simply there—no matter how many sorcerers they recruit, a portion will always be lost.

This profession is inherently high-risk.

As for the Ancient One, while Wanda and Bi Xiao have a good relationship with her, to be honest, she is like a great deity who has detached herself from the mortal world, or perhaps is helpless. Under the fixed Sacred Timeline, every person, every sorcerer, has their predetermined limitations. Even though she knows the outcome, she won't proactively break this fixed state.

Breaking this fixed state doesn't mean forcibly intervening to save people, but rather not being able to change the entire magical system of Kamar-Taj to enhance its combat capabilities. The Ancient One knows she can't do that.

Helplessly, she can only watch and eventually decide to let things take their course.

She truly embodies the idea of knowing too much but being powerless to change anything.

Bi Xiao and Wanda are different. The moment Bi Xiao appeared, the Sacred Timeline was disrupted. He is an anomaly. In a broken Sacred Timeline, no matter what he does, it won't lead to the destruction of history.

This is inherently a very peculiar trait.

Additionally, his rapid growth and power ensure that even if disaster strikes, he has the ability to quell it. This also means that those around him, like Wanda, have their fates altered, and she is passively imbued with this strange characteristic.

Of course, Wanda is unaware of this.

What she does know is how to reform Kamar-Taj.

After delving deep into her magical studies, Wanda is determined to undermine Vishanti. She has no particular feelings toward Vishanti—neither favorable nor unfavorable. Vishanti's terms are clear: if you borrow, you must repay. But they don't force you to borrow.

It's entirely up to you whether you borrow or not, but if you do, repayment is obligatory and just.

Wanda isn't trying to change anyone's fate. It's just that she now sees Kamar-Taj as her property, so she naturally wants to eliminate some unreasonable terms.

As for whether Vishanti would trouble Wanda over this...

First, Vishanti may not even care about the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, and even if they do, they shouldn't trouble Wanda. She isn't afraid of them. Vishanti is indeed powerful, being the rulers of the magical realm, the Trinity, and could be considered the pinnacle of magic.

The Vishanti Trinity are wise and virtuous. Encountering someone like Wanda, who possesses chaos magic and has an extraordinary depth of magical knowledge, they might be more inclined to show goodwill rather than hostility.

Even if Vishanti harbors ill intent, and Wanda can't defeat them, could they defeat Bi Xiao?

Wanda has relied on Bi Xiao from the beginning.

Bi Xiao never hides much from those close to him, aside from a few unspeakable secrets, including his true strength.

Thus, Wanda has nothing to fear.

For the ideas and plans Wanda described, Bella nodded in agreement. She had also been to Kamar-Taj and met the Ancient One and the other sorcerers.

Although she hasn't studied magic for many years, and her own life level isn't very high, just based on her understanding of magic, she also felt that Kamar-Taj's magical system had significant flaws. Of course, she also understood that the sorcerers had no choice but to draw energy from magical dimensions.

Now that Wanda is reforming, it will inevitably cause the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj to soar in the short term.

Bella is someone who enjoys peace, and now even more so in her magical studies and travels. Though she loves the environment of magical realms, Earth is still her home planet, and her parents are still alive and well.

Although her parents are getting older, Bella secretly uses magic to rejuvenate their bodies when she visits them.

Nothing else, but this alone is enough to keep her parents healthy for a hundred years. After that, it will depend on their own wishes.

Earth needs protectors, people who move forward in the darkness. A large group of warriors needs to be trained, otherwise, every time an enemy appears, it'll be too troublesome if they have to rely on Wanda or herself to step in.

The two women sipped their coffee happily, discussing magic. To Wanda, Kamar-Taj's issues were merely small matters, and the workload wasn't too much.

As they chatted under the bright sunshine, Bella and Wanda suddenly looked up into the distance.

In the next second, a thunderous explosion echoed in their ears.

Even though it was several blocks away, in their view, the tall buildings seemed to turn into illusions, allowing the two women to see the source of the explosion through the mirage-like scene.

It turned out to be a group of superpowered criminals robbing a bank.

This was a classic daily occurrence in New York, and Wanda and Bella merely glanced at it, showing no curiosity or fear.

Clearly, they weren't very interested.

However, just as they were about to look away, Wanda "hmphed" softly and slightly raised her head, seeing a red-and-blue figure swiftly swinging through the skyscrapers in the distance, heading straight for the explosion.

He was very fast, like Tarzan in the jungle.

Bella, upon seeing that figure—at her level, she could understand many things at a glance.

"Peter Parker?"

"A mutated enhanced human?"

"A recently famous superhero, Spider-Man." Wanda confirmed Bella's words. Bella's beautiful eyes locked onto Spider-Man, Peter Parker, as if she had discerned something: "There seems to be a very peculiar state about him."

"It seems to have some connection to the multiverse?"
