Amidst the shattering tal debris and the swirling dust.
A figure in a long, fitted crimson battle armor made entirely of the purest chaos magic energy appeared from the dust—Wanda. Her first sight fell upon the young Professor X who was sitting on the altar’s floor, and Hawk who lay on the ground.
And—
Death crouching beside Hawk.
With ripples of chaos energy spreading outwards, Wanda instantly appeared on the altar, her eyes dyed a brilliant scarlet, landing on Death, dressed in black, opposite to her.
The next second.
"It’s you."
Wanda recognized that Death, who had previously appeared in the 616 Cosmos but wasn’t an enemy, and then her gaze fell on Hawk lying next to her, instinctively wanting to embrace him.
"Hawk..."
"If you don’t want him to die, don’t touch him."
Death didn’t stop Wanda’s action, but as Wanda’s fingers were about to touch Hawk, he spoke softly.
Wanda instantly halted, and her gaze turned to Death: "What’s wrong with Hawk?"
Death did not speak but looked up at the Ti Galaxy belonging to Hawk that appeared in midair.
Following Death’s gaze, Wanda also focused on Hawk’s Ti Galaxy.
Upon seeing it.
The Ti Galaxy, originally radiant when it appeared, now seed dimr.
For, at the mont Wanda’s gaze landed, the brightness visibly dimd slightly.
"This is..."
"His tiline."
Death briefly explained to the tardy Wanda: "Now, every version of him in each tiline is being dismantled. When he completely disappears from all tilines, he will die. If you move him, it will only accelerate the disintegration of his ti."
Wanda heard Death’s explanation, her eyes involuntarily constricting.
At that mont.
Rumble.
A corner of the pyramid began to disintegrate amidst a thunderous roar.
With a red helt and dark armor, Magneto activated his mutant ability, personally tearing open a corner of the pyramid he built.
He once again chose to join the X-n side, unexpectedly yet reasonably.
But this ti, unlike before when he was persuaded and chose to switch sides at the last mont.
This ti, as soon as the X-n landed, Mystique Raven made a gesture, said a sentence, directly bringing Magneto back to their side.
Mystique actually didn’t do much.
She simply pushed Quicksilver Pietro over and said to Eric the Magneto: "Eric, he’s your son."
The gaze of Magneto, who was controlling Earth’s magnetic field reversal, instantly fell on Quicksilver Pietro.
Pushed out without any ntal preparation, Quicksilver Pietro t Magneto’s scrutinizing gaze. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wanda flying towards the pyramid, his mind went blank.
"Yes, I am your son. In a way, the man caught by Apocalypse in the pyramid could be considered your son-in-law."
"..."
Magneto was initially stunned, but when Quicksilver Pietro ntioned their mother’s na, he quickly pictured the scene in his mind. Seeing Wanda use Crimson Chaos Magic to blast open the pyramid, he imdiately switched sides, decisively controlling the scattered tal around to trap ’Storm,’ ’Psylocke,’ and ’Angel’ in place.
Finally leaving Beast and Cyclops outside, Magneto and Mystique led Nightcrawler and Jean rapidly into the pyramid.
"Daddy!"
Entering the pyramid, Jean saw Hawk lying on the altar at first sight, shouted, and rushed to his side, only to be stopped by Wanda.
"Xavier!"
"Professor!"
Mystique Raven and Nightcrawler also ran to Professor X who was sitting on the tal floor.
But...
Professor X’s gaze fell upon his good friend Magneto.
"Eric."
"Charles."
Magneto and Professor X exchanged a glance, their gaze then falling on Wanda beside Hawk.
"Oh, I didn’t make it clear back then."
Quicksilver Pietro reappeared next to Magneto, whispering: "This strictly speaking, is Wanda, but not my sister nor your daughter."
Magneto, upon hearing, sharply gazed at Quicksilver Pietro again.
Pietro quickly explained the multiverse and various settings about it.
Magneto listened, frowning intently.
Once more.
No matter how carefree Quicksilver Pietro was, he had at least been to school, whereas Magneto grew up in concentration camps.
So...
The multiverse concept, for Magneto, seed sowhat out of his comprehension.
But Magneto still grasped the key point.
"So, this Wanda is Wanda, but not my daughter Wanda?"
"Yes."
"But I do have a daughter nad Wanda, who is your sister?"
"Right."
"Where is she?"
Sure, here is the translation of the text:
"Watch over your sister in New York."
"I have two daughters?"
"No, Mina is our sister but not your daughter."
"..."
Quicksilver Pietro looked at Eric the Magneto and shrugged: "You disappeared before mom got pregnant, mom found us a new dad."
Eric the Magneto looked at the sincere face and remarkably clear eyes of Quicksilver Pietro and fell back into silence.
Nearby, Mystique followed Professor X’s gaze, which also landed on Hawk lying on the ground not far away, and Wanda seemingly speaking into the void.
"Xavier, what is that...?"
"I don’t know."
From the mont Death appeared until now, Professor X’s gaze never left the spot where Death stood, even though he briefly greeted Eric. He solemnly said: "My intuition tells there’s an existence there, but no matter how I perceive, I can’t discover it."
Mystique paused slightly upon hearing this.
Wanda listened to Professor X’s words and realized sothing. She turned her head to look, seeing everyone facing this direction but not focusing their gaze on Death. She frowned and looked at Death: "They can’t see you?"
At this mont.
Jean also frowned as she glanced towards where Wanda was speaking: "Mom, who is there?"
In Jean’s perception, she could only find sothing peculiar at the location of Death, as if soone was there but unable to grasp the truth.
Death smiled faintly: "I exist beside every soul and can appear next to every dying soul."
Seeing her is not a good thing.
After all —
She is Death after all.
At this very mont, the Ti Galaxy belonging to Hawk floating above suddenly began to tremble rapidly.
With the tremor of the Ti Galaxy, Hawk, lying on the ground with eyes tightly shut, began to tremble all over.
Jean’s gaze fell.
"Dad!"
"Hawk..."
Wanda also snapped out of it, hurriedly embracing her daughter who tried to touch Hawk, and urgently looked at Death.
"What’s happening to Hawk?"
"Apocalypse is attacking Hawk’s tiline."
"At the entrance of Saint Paul’s Church in Queens."
"At the Manhattan port."
"In the 616 Cosmos."
"In the past!"
"In the future!"
"And in the present..."
Death’s voice was calm, narrating Hawk’s current state while eting Wanda’s gaze: "He’s dying simultaneously across all tilines, and there’s only one way to save him."
Wanda heard this, staring intensely at Death.
"What?"
"You!"
"What??"
"He is being attacked by Apocalypse on his tiline because he used the ’Ti Gemstone,’ leaving nearly infinite flaws when he tried to compress ti. These flaws perate his entire tiline, making it almost impossible to fully compress his tiline."
"An impossible task..."
Listening to Death’s words, Wanda’s heart stirred, as if she had thought of sothing: "The fla born from the most impossible life."
Death heard Wanda’s murmured expression and smiled faintly, saying nothing.
Wanda turned to look at the dimming, rapidly trembling Ti Galaxy hovering above.
"I must go in."
"Don’t..."
The tightly shut-eyed Hawk seed to hear this voice, instinctively clenched Wanda’s arm with his left hand: "Don’t go."
Wanda snapped back to reality, looking at the closed-eyed Hawk who firmly gripped her arm, her thoughts twirling: "When I asked why I appeared in the 616 Cosmos, you said I ca on my own, so you already knew, didn’t you? Thus, this has already happened, right."
Hawk, while trying to activate his energy to enter his tiline to save himself, exhaustedly opened his eyes and looked at Wanda.
"The fla ignited by the most impossible life, isn’t that ?"
Wanda smiled, then looked at Death: "If I step into Hawk’s Ti Galaxy, what will happen?"
"His ti torrent will instantly tear you into a million pieces, and a million versions of you will exist on every tiline of his."
Death’s voice remained cold, narrating Wanda’s ordeal upon entering Hawk’s Ti Galaxy.
Wanda remained expressionless, glanced at Death, then directed her gaze once more towards Hawk lying on the tal floor and looked at him: "Maybe you’re right, you’re not a kind person, Hawk, but, you are our daughter’s father."
With that.
Wanda’s form ascended.
At this ti.
Death spoke again: "Rember, his true past ti and events have been compressed, you must ensure you kill Apocalypse while maintaining the entirety of his past ti, otherwise, you and he will die together."
As Death’s words fell at that mont.
Wanda’s finger had already touched Hawk’s Ti Galaxy.
In the next second!
