Soon.
Under Tom's (838 Iron Man's) lead, everyone arrived at a dilapidated building by the lakeside.
Looking at the long-faded letter "A" on the wall, Aron seemed to realize something.
"Welcome to the Avengers Headquarters!"
Tom landed.
He spread his arms and presented the somewhat ruined building in front of them to Aron and his group.
"As far as I know, weren't your Avengers disbanded?"
Wanda recalled the scene from her dream and asked curiously.
Tom glanced back at Wanda.
He explained:
"We did disband.
But after the Illuminati were brutally slaughtered, there had to be an organization to avenge them, right?"
When Tom finished, he pushed open the door.
The members of the Avengers in this world appeared before everyone's eyes.
Old Magneto from the original X-Men!
Wolverine!
The Invisible Woman from the former Fantastic Four, Susan!
And among the Fantastic Four, the ruler of Latveria who appeared as a villain, Doctor Doom!
Finally, Nick Fury and Namor from the standard Marvel universe.
"…"
Looking at these colorful 838 Avengers members, Aron didn't know what to say for a while.
"Are these all your members or just part of them?"
"All.
The ones alive are here."
Tom replied in a deep voice to Aron's question.
At the same time, old Magneto and the others in the room also observed Aron and his companions.
In fact, before their arrival, Tom's version of Iron Man had already informed them.
That's why the 838 Avengers had gathered here.
But when he saw Wanda behind Aron, Namor from universe 838 couldn't hold himself back.
"Murderer!"
The eyes of 838 Namor burned with rage.
He cursed angrily, grabbed the trident beside him, and was about to charge.
"Namor! Stop!"
Tom just wanted to stop him.
But old Magneto was faster; he lightly waved his right hand.
Namor's trident was torn from his control.
With a crash, it was nailed to the right wall.
The handle of the halberd still quivered slightly.
"Why are you stopping me!"
"The witch slaughtered everyone!"
Namor of universe 838 was clearly not as rational as the Namor from Aron's universe.
This Namor was more like the comic version.
Hot-tempered.
Like a barrel of gunpowder ready to explode at a spark.
At this moment, even though everyone had stopped him, the man was still fuming with anger.
He even pointed at his comrades, demanding to know why they were blocking him.
"Idiot! Because we're saving your life!"
Old Magneto glared sharply.
Namor turned his head.
Only then did he realize that the Wanda he had just tried to attack was not afraid at all but was looking at him with pity.
And not just Wanda.
The other two women Namor didn't know, namely Diana and America, were also looking at him with the same expression.
Only the man named Aron in front had a gentle look.
He seemed like someone you could talk to.
"Don't get worked up, it's all minor stuff, without a few scuffles, how can we really get to know each other?"
Aron stepped forward and patted Namor on the shoulder.
Unnoticed, a thread of energy from the cosmic fragment given to him by Eternity was injected into Namor's body.
"We came to deal with the evil Wanda who invaded your world.
So I want to know what exactly is happening here?"
It wasn't right to strike the wrong target.
Aron, always kind and soft-hearted, readily forgave Namor's outburst.
He got straight to the point.
And this friendly attitude somewhat eased the 838 Avengers.
Seeing his demeanor, he indeed looked like a hero!
"That's right…"
In the end,
Old Magneto took a deep breath and recounted what had happened in universe 838.
It turned out that M-Wanda did not leave immediately after destroying Westview and killing the Wanda of universe 838.
Instead, she stayed among the ruins of Westview for a while.
According to the assessment of the then-member of the Illuminati, the smartest man on Earth, Mr. Fantastic, Reed Richards…
she was absorbing the Chaos Magic of universe 838!
Reed judged…
that this process of energy absorption was the moment when M-Wanda was most vulnerable.
So he decisively led the Illuminati members in a surprise attack on her.
And then…
And then there was nothing left.
"They're all dead!
Captain Marvel, Black Bolt, Captain Carter, Mordo… and my old friend, Charles, is dead."
"Reed's death was the worst…
His body was torn into shreds by Wanda's Chaos Magic."
When old Magneto said that, his voice had already turned hoarse.
Because among the fallen members of the Illuminati were comrades he had loved and fought alongside for decades.
Professor X.
But the disaster caused by M-Wanda didn't stop there!
After the Illuminati were destroyed, many retired heroes from Earth-838, such as former Avengers members Doctor Banner and Hawkeye; former X-Men members Storm and Cyclops; The Thing and Human Torch from the Fantastic Four.
Including the Brotherhood of Mutants under Magneto.
These people came from all over the world.
The old and the successors!
They tried to stop that insane M-Wanda.
But the final result was… M-Wanda successfully absorbed the Chaos Magic of universe 838!
And then.
A red light blazed.
It swept across the world.
"In the end, only a few of us survived."
Magneto finished.
Everyone from universe 838 sank into sorrow.
Whoever they were, they had all lost friends, loved ones, and dear companions in this catastrophe.
But after Aron listened…
One question kept echoing in his mind.
"It's a bit inappropriate, but I still want to ask.
You just said the light went out?"
"I'm curious, was the cause of Black Bolt's death that Mr. Reed Richards said: 'Wanda, Black Bolt can kill you just by slightly opening his mouth and letting out a sound'?"
"?"
Aron voiced his confusion.
"???"
The people of 838 looked at him in bewilderment.
The grief that had just begun to boil shattered instantly.
"Who would do something that stupid?
Isn't that like revealing your teammate's trump card before the fight and digging your own grave?"
838 Iron Man looked puzzled.
Even a narcissist like him readily admitted that Reed was the smartest man on Earth.
So how could the smartest man on Earth do something so foolish?
"As far as I know, what Reed said at that time was…"
Old Magneto thought for a moment.
Before Professor X died, he had transmitted a lot of information into his mind.
That included the battle between the Illuminati and M-Wanda.
And at that time…
Reed had said: "Hey! Wanda, Black Bolt has something to say to you!"
Then, the moment Wanda turned her head to look,
Black Bolt attacked.
"Ahhh… that's not as fun anymore."
When Aron heard that, he looked disappointed.
And just at that moment.
Namor, who had long been standing aside and whom everyone had already forgotten, suddenly swallowed the twisted space!
He disappeared instantly from the spot!
"Namor!"
The people from 838 panicked, thinking M-Wanda had returned.
They looked around.
But they couldn't see even a shadow of the enemy.
After a brief shock, Tom was the first to turn his gaze toward Aron.
"Why are you looking at me? I didn't even touch him."
Aron looked innocent at that moment.
Secretly, he had used the power of the cosmic fragment to send a message back to universe 19999-FL.
He had just sent one person back!
Take good care of him!!
Let him experience what it means to feel at home!!
