"Is it finally coming to an end?"
Looking at Chthon, who was now on the same side as Aron.
The Lord of Chaos, Wanda, was stunned.
"Looks like you finally found an ally."
These journeys, into which she had been constantly dragged against her will.
The two Wandas who shared the same body had complex feelings toward Aron.
After all, there was no irreconcilable hatred between them.
The reason for their hostility was simple.
Their goals conflicted.
One side wanted to kill all her versions in parallel universes, while the other didn't want that to happen and that was all.
If Wanda were willing to give up her plan of destruction, the conflict would naturally be resolved.
Only...
"Come on, it's just death."
Obviously, Wanda had no intention of giving up.
More precisely, from the moment she set out on this path, she wasn't ready to turn back.
"I chose the hard, but right path."
"Even if I die here today, there are Wandas from other worlds who will continue on this path."
"As long as… multiple reboots."
The Lord of Chaos once again explained her plan.
Although she didn't directly state the reason.
But the ultimate goal was always the same, a new beginning, or more precisely, a recreation of the multiverse!
In any case, in the end, according to her will… to recreate diversity!
The plan was audacious.
But now Chthon stood in her way.
"Wanda Maximoff, bow before your creator."
Chthon's attitude toward Wanda was completely opposite to that toward Aron.
When faced with the dual Wanda, Chthon displayed the grandeur that an ancient, multidimensional deity should have.
His true form was elemental energy that could not be physically described.
Formless and nameless.
But the human mind cannot comprehend the invisible, nor endure the unnamed.
So Chthon projected the shape of a giant shadow and gave himself a name Chthon.
In short, at the moment Chthon truly showed his power,
everything around him was on the verge of collapse.
The end of all things was near!
Even Aron on the other side felt Chthon's power!
Something's wrong!
Isn't this guy just using this as an excuse to test me?
Aron pulled out the orb of light given to him by Oshtur and used it to shield himself from the shockwave Chthon accidentally released.
Then he firmly said:
"Just give me the power, you don't need to deal with Wanda."
Aron interrupted Chthon's attack on Wanda.
"Are you sure?"
The entity Chthon had created licked its lips.
According to the comic setting from twenty-one years ago, the comic version of Wanda within the body of the Lord of Chaos the source of her chaos magic was Chthon himself.
When Wanda was first born,
Chthon planted the seed of chaos magic into the body of the newborn.
His goal was to use Wanda to break through the blockade of the Vishanti and Gaia, so that he could step onto Earth.
As if he was using Wanda as a springboard.
A bridge connecting the main dimension and the Shimmering Dimension.
That's why Chthon's help to Aron in fighting Wanda was actually selfish.
That was also the reason why he reacted so strongly when Aron told him to stop.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to."
"Hand over your power honestly and you won't have to worry about anything else."
Seeing that Aron had spoken again,
Chthon had to give up his internal petty thoughts and obediently hand over his power.
After all, in the infinite multiverse, there's more than one comic version of Wanda.
If this one fails, he can easily find another.
"This ring is the symbol of my power."
"Take it with you, whenever and wherever you want, you can use my power, without limits!"
Chthon handed over the ring.
At that moment, this god of black magic and his enemy the god of white magic, the Vishanti, reached a silent mutual understanding.
And that was that they didn't directly hand over their power to Aron.
Instead, they only gave him the right to use the power.
If an example is needed,
it would be as if Elon Musk and Bill Gates simultaneously gave you a credit card.
You can pay with it and buy whatever you want with their money!
Use as much as you want!
No limits!
But, technically speaking, the money still belongs to them.
"Damn it, I don't even lie to people anymore, and you're still this scared of me?"
Aron was a little displeased.
But he didn't push Chthon further, after all, even rabbits bite when cornered.
And Aron understood well why both the Vishanti and Chthon acted like this.
Honestly, it all came down to one thing:
They didn't trust him.
They were afraid that the moment they gave him their power, he wouldn't even blink before eating them and banishing them to some flood world, Cthulhu, or other horrifying dimension.
"Do I look like someone who would do that?"
Aron looked confused.
"Buddy, take care, be safe, drop by again when you have time."
Chthon was desperate to see Aron off as soon as possible.
After saying that, he personally opened an interdimensional portal.
He politely bowed, like a host seeing off a dear guest.
"…"
Wanda, who had twice been ready to fight to the death, was speechless both times.
Even if she were the most naive now, she would understand that she was still alive only because Aron didn't want to kill her…
Because if he had wanted to, whether it was Chthon, the Vishanti, or the one who calls himself Lucifer,
any of them could have dealt with her in a single move!
Literally crushed her!
"Let's go."
Just like when they arrived.
Aron patted Wanda on the shoulder and stepped into the portal first.
Wanda was silent for a moment, and then still followed him.
They passed through the portal.
The two of them arrived in the familiar universe, the one where the Solar System had already been destroyed.
Everything that had happened just moments ago felt like it had come full circle.
They had finally returned to the beginning.
The two stood outside the barrier of that small universe.
Looking around, parallel universes floated everywhere, near and far, each like a bubble containing one universe.
"Let's talk, I think things that can be solved by talking shouldn't be solved by fighting, right?"
Aron turned and said.
The spatial coordinates of the two had returned to the starting point, but the situation was now completely different.
The power of the Vishanti!
The power of Chthon!
Set's Serpent Crown!
Aron, who could now freely use all three forces, had already far surpassed the Lord of Chaos in strength.
"Chaos magic can reshape reality, and the mistakes you've made, the people you've killed, can theoretically be corrected."
"If you change your mind now, give up that crazy plan..."
"You can simply continue as if nothing happened."
Aron made a final attempt to make her come to her senses.
And the Lord of Chaos, the double Wanda, clearly knew that this was the last chance he was giving her.
But she stuck to her stance.
"Aron, our fates are already written on paper."
"Our joys, sorrows, pain, and happiness, all unfold along a predetermined path."
"They, those who control us, call themselves painters, screenwriters, directors, writers…"
"Each parallel universe develops according to their script."
"That so-called infinite multiverse, where anything is possible is just a joke."
"You and I are just part of that game."
"The only way to break the game is to destroy it! And I will never give up that plan! Never!"
The Lord of Chaos, Wanda finally spoke her motives.
But upon hearing that, Aron just furrowed his brows.
"No..."
"How about saying that differently?"
"Seriously, I can't stand this theme."
"If you start a new story with that, you'll be booed. Change your motive, I don't know, let's say, you're looking for your son?"
"Even if you were looking for your son, that would make more sense than this."
