Vincent clearly sensed Ultron's purpose.
He was created by Hydra. To fulfill Hydra's ultimate wish: ruling the world and spreading Hydra's ideology to all humanity. But in Ultron's eyes, this ideology became grander. He wanted to rule humanity with intelligent machines. Let humans provide creativity for the machine race.
Ultron was powerful, but he lacked human creativity. Because of this, he would destroy human regimes. Seizing control from human governments, making all humans his slaves. Or rather, all humans serve him. The future machine race would have only one will: Ultron.
"The power of the Mind Stone truly possesses extraordinary strength, creating Ultron with such ambition." This amazed Vincent.
However, no matter how strong Vincent became, he was ultimately a carbon-based lifeform, a human. So, he had no goodwill toward Ultron's existence.
"Wonder if SHIELD can destroy Ultron this time?"
But Vincent felt it was impossible. SHIELD was no threat to the newborn Ultron. Ultron could even control most of SHIELD's military power. He was now the world's strongest AI. His birth meant the birth of an Internet God.
Since entering the digital age, human life relied most heavily on the internet. The internet created by humans provided infinite fertile soil for Ultron, allowing him to grow recklessly, master human civilization's wisdom recklessly, integrate the crystals of human wisdom, and transform them into the most powerful force against humanity.
Super Thinking rotated constantly. Vincent observed the traces left by Ultron, deducing what Ultron was about to do.
"He chose to avoid me, which means he has no way to deal with me now."
"Once he finds a way, Ultron will replicate infinitely, using absolute numbers and ant tactics to drag me to death."
Vincent shook his head gently. But could Ultron really find his weakness? Unless Ultron obtained the six Infinity Stones. Becoming Infinity Ultron. Only then would Vincent truly take this new enemy seriously. But before that, Vincent wouldn't intervene for now.
"One week is up," Vincent murmured.
He stood at the villa door. With his vision and X-Ray ability, he clearly saw Quicksilver Pietro saying goodbye to Wanda.
Vincent had told Scarlet Witch Wanda that going to Kamar-Taj to learn magic would take at least a year, possibly three. It depended on whether Wanda studied hard. Of course, Vincent wasn't letting Wanda live a leisurely life there. He would visit her when he had time. And bring her back to New York. Wanda could also learn magic, master the Sling Ring, and travel between the two places anytime. The Ancient One didn't forbid people from leaving Kamar-Taj.
Just that Vincent strictly required Wanda to study hard.
Quicksilver Pietro left the apartment. Next second, a light faster than Quicksilver shuttled into the building. High-frequency vibration ignored obstacles, forming a phasing effect. Flash Barry Allen mastered this move; Vincent naturally mastered it via Speed Force.
Wanda sensed the visitor. But the familiar scent made her drop her guard and smile brightly, pouncing on the light. The solid embrace made Wanda feel unprecedentedly secure. She completely forgot she was also a superhero. And recently, though she fooled around with Vincent in bed, her control over her abilities became stronger.
Wrapping her arms around Vincent's waist, her sexy, voluptuous legs locked around him.
"Going to Kamar-Taj soon. Thank you, darling. How should I reward you?" Wanda asked coquettishly.
How could Vincent withstand this?
"Naturally, giving yourself to me. We have plenty of time; the time difference between New York and Kamar-Taj is nearly ten hours."
Vincent nibbled Wanda's white earlobe. Like a war horn blowing the march of battle. This young couple engaged in the fiercest posture. Don't look at Wanda's mature appearance; at this time, she was only eighteen. At least the Wanda Vincent knew was eighteen. A woman's best years. This was a prerequisite for Vincent's obsession with developing Wanda.
The sky turned dark.
Wanda panted, "Pietro is still young, darling. Please take care of him."
Wanda's only worry was her brother.
"Relax. After you leave, I'll arrange for Pietro to enter Oscorp labs to strengthen him, and have Deep Chill members teach him combat skills."
Pietro's biggest problem was his temperament. Vincent had seen Pietro's crazy side. Attacking Hand ninjas like a madman. Killing so many. Though not his first kill, after this event, Pietro's personality had calmed down a lot. Vincent liked seeing this.
But Pietro's flaws were obvious. Handing him to the Deep Chill veterans would help him grow quickly. What was Pietro's future? Vincent couldn't see it. But he worried about Pietro's fate inertia. He died at Ultron's hands. Since that's the case, if Vincent personally solved Ultron in the future, theoretically, Pietro's calamity would pass.
"My brother is naturally rebellious. Hope he won't cause you trouble." Wanda turned over, straddling Vincent.
"One last reward for you." Wanda kissed Vincent deeply.
Ancient One stood in the courtyard of Kamar-Taj. Sorcerers were practicing magic. But Ancient One's gaze wasn't on them.
Wong walked to Ancient One. "Are we really taking a witch as a disciple of Kamar-Taj?"
Wong's words voiced the worries of other high-ranking sorcerers.
"The Ice Demon personally found me to negotiate. I need the Ice Demon's favor. Remember, if Kamar-Taj faces an unmanageable situation, a life-or-death crisis, you can find the Ice Demon and ask him to act." Ancient One said gravely.
She knew her future death was irreversible. Unless she betrayed Kamar-Taj and relied on Dimension Lords for endless power. But becoming a puppet? Ancient One couldn't do it. Choosing death seemed the best option.
"Pity, she isn't the future Sorcerer Supreme." Ancient One sighed faintly.
Scarlet Witch Wanda mastered Chaos Magic. The universe's most powerful magic. Only appearing in legends. Even Ancient One hadn't seen it, because Chaos Magic was unique.
Thinking back, perhaps nearing the end of her life, she hoped to see a powerful witch taught all of Kamar-Taj's magic by her. It was her extravagance. But she hoped to see it. Because Wanda wasn't just anyone; she wielded Chaos Magic. Her power was already strong, and she was young, with room to grow.
"Really envy these young people." Ancient One sighed inwardly.
Neither Wong nor others could truly shoulder the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme. Her deep gaze pierced spacetime, landing on a surgeon with ruined hands in New York. Stephen Strange. Ancient One knew his potential. She had seen his prowess in other universes. Future Stephen Strange would surely become Kamar-Taj's most powerful and mysterious Sorcerer Supreme. This was one reason she faced death calmly.
But looking at Wanda, Ancient One still felt the terror of Chaos Magic. If she grew up, she would be the universe's strongest mage.
"Hope you succeed in your studies!"
Ancient One understood Vincent sending Wanda here. Wanda's spirit was unstable, her only weakness. This was Chaos Magic's drawback—accidentally plunging one into chaos. Ancient One's "success" meant hoping Wanda learned her state of mind. If she told Vincent about "state of mind," he'd understand. But for Wanda, she could only describe it as psychological state.
A golden circular ring tore space, forming a stable portal.
Vincent stepped through. The moment he appeared in Kamar-Taj, he sensed the magic barrier. He also felt the heritage of this global magic sanctuary.
Wanda, looking calm, stepped through behind Vincent, trying to maintain elegance.
"Ancient One, I brought Wanda. From now on, she is a member of Kamar-Taj." Vincent stood before Ancient One. "We both believe Wanda's future will be earth-shattering. Please rest assured, I will keep my promise and do my best."
Ancient One's attitude shocked everyone in Kamar-Taj.
"Haha, since I dare hand Wanda to you, naturally I trust your character. Please rest assured, I will also keep my promise. But this promise is limited to Kamar-Taj."
Vincent didn't want to get dragged into Doctor Strange's crazy multiverse trip. Not worried about safety, but worried about getting lost and unable to return home. Kang the Conqueror was stuck in the Quantum Realm for a long time without a power core.
Vincent turned to Wanda. "If you miss me, just call." He hugged her lightly.
Ancient One's gaze fell on Vincent's ring. Her face changed slightly.
"Does it look familiar?" Vincent sensed her gaze, turning back to smile.
"Eye of Agamotto!" Ancient One said softly.
"Guard the Eye of Agamotto well. If it falls into others' hands one day, I won't mind refining it into one of my rings."
Simultaneously, Vincent took off the Sling Ring Ancient One gave him and handed it to Wanda.
"Returning to the original owner."
Vincent took a step. Space split. He no longer needed a Sling Ring. With his wisdom, he had comprehended its mysteries and formed magic. After all, Vincent's Water Magic was Dominator level. Not inferior to any Kamar-Taj magic.
"Keep it. He doesn't need it anymore." Ancient One smiled.
Carrying the Eye of Agamotto (Time Stone), she felt its power. She even glimpsed a corner of the future via the Time Stone. Vincent wearing the Eye of Agamotto, facing cosmic powerhouses calmly, suppressing them all.
Ancient One sighed; this might not be bad. She felt many spying on the Time Stone. She worried most about this artifact. It was the weapon against Dormammu. Losing it meant Dormammu would break the seal and descend. Darkness would cover Earth.
But seeing three rings on Vincent's fingers, Ancient One knew her worry was superfluous. Such a powerful human existence wasn't Earth's sorrow, but the enemies'. Spies thought Earth was a treasure land. They didn't know it was a hell occupied by the Ice Demon.
Wanda was a little nervous. Ancient One smiled. The current Wanda wasn't the Scarlet Witch yet; she didn't realize how terrifying she would become if she realized her potential.
"Follow me, Wanda. I'll show you Kamar-Taj."
Handing Wanda to Ancient One, Vincent sighed in relief.
Actually, he could have kept Wanda. But her spirit was unstable. Her control was instinctual, explosive only under stimulation. Stronger power meant further pollution by Chaos Magic.
Wanda was a good girl, wanting a home. But Vincent had too many women. Though Wanda knew, seeing him fool around would affect her mind. Sending her to learn White Magic prevented her from touching Dark Magic and falling deep. Movie Wanda reached high levels just by self-study. With orthodox training, how strong would she be? Vincent looked forward to it.
This time he didn't return to New York. Instead, he appeared in Los Angeles. The Avengers base was now here (West Coast Avengers setup?).
Vincent stood by the street. A supercar drove up. Window rolled down. Black Widow Natasha stuck her head out, revealing a beautiful face.
"A rare guest, Vincent." Natasha smiled.
Vincent walked to the window and kissed her deeply. No nonsense. Pedestrians cast envious looks.
"Natasha, long time no see, your mouth is still so sweet." Vincent got in.
"Did you notify only me about coming to Los Angeles?" Natasha asked with a hint of accusation. She didn't want Hill appearing.
"Of course. Came specially for you."
"Hope so. Every time you leave New York, my colleagues have to work overtime." Natasha laughed.
