Marvel Book of Magical Events

"You need to equip this psychic suppressor and this stabilizer. Since you have not implanted a mechanical prosthesis, you can only use wearable devices."

Amphitryon pointed to the equipment on the cart covered with black velvet and continued to speak in his usual calm tone. However, Wanda Maximoff, who was standing in front of him, had no relaxed expression at all, because she had just learned that the reason for coming here was that the emperor wanted to attack Kama Taj - it was not that she had not been in Kama Taj. Lived. Even though she didn’t know much about the Earth School of Magic at first, as her study progressed, she also learned that Kama Taj is the highest sanctuary on Earth, and it is also the place where the emperor learned psychic skills—having the only disciple of the Supreme Mage. The famous emperor planned to personally lead his army to attack Kama Taj. This thing sounds a bit absurd no matter what. Everyone knows that the emperor is the successor of the Supreme Mage, and there is no need to do this even if he is ambitious.

"I know these devices are a bit heavy, but if you are willing to accept prosthetic implant enhancement, then you can use modular devices." Amphitryon obviously failed to understand what Wanda Maximoff's expression conveyed idea. "There is still some time before departure. If you are willing, the automatic surgical robot can help you quickly implant the prosthetic body. Although the healing speed of mortals is a bit slow, as long as you use a sufficient dose of painkillers, it will not affect your ability to use your spiritual body. The state of concentration necessary to be able to function.”

"Thank you, but I still have no plans to implant mechanical implants."

Wanda Maximoff said. Her mind was not here at all, and what the praetorian Amphitryon said almost fell on deaf ears. When she arrived at the Astronomical Tower and was guided to the emperor's office by Amphitryon and the Battle Sisters, she heard familiar music - "Por una Cabeza" (One Step Away) - and she expressed her appreciation for this famous tango The famous song left a deep impression on her, because when her teacher came to Hydra's prison like warm sunshine, he specially arranged many lessons for her. Among the elective courses was dance, and her teacher chose the simpler tango dance. In order to teach her this elective course, her teacher once invited her to practice in the prison corridor filled with moonlight. The extremely romantic scene made her feel that the bones in her body were softened.

She heard the tune again.

When she opened the door, she saw a tall man in golden power armor dancing with a woman with long black hair in the gorgeously decorated office living room. It wasn't until the music ended that the woman was willing to tear her sticky eyes away from the man. Those were the Emperor and Bayonetta, the tall, majestic god entangled with the coquettish and vicious snake. The extreme beauty and shaggy hair made Wanda's body tremble. She bit her lip and said nothing - she thought she might never be able to forget Bayonetta's spin, the flying black skirt, and the black red-soled high-heeled shoes with a pistol embedded in them. It wasn't until the music ended that people in the office seemed to notice her. It was only then that the Emperor received the Holy Sword from the Praetorian Guards, but the warmth and sexual tension in the air still lingered.

"You know, girls worry about leaving scars on their skin." Wanda Maximoff shook her head, trying to get rid of irrelevant thoughts from her mind, "I am a girl, a Praetorian Guard."

"Scars are proof of honor. Avoiding scars for the sake of appearance is not what a warrior does."

"maybe."

Scarlet Witch rolled her eyes wide.

She knew that the Praetorian Guards only conveyed the emperor's orders, but she didn't like the collar-like psychic suppressors and stabilizers on the cart anyway. It was an iron-black metal collar with various threads on both sides. At the end of the threads were brain wave electrodes, which were used to detect brain waves and psychic reactions, thereby adjusting the intensity and stability of the psychic output. It can be seen with the naked eye that such equipment is very heavy and a great burden on the cervical spine, but fortunately, the Praetorian Guards assured that she would only need to wear these devices during the mission and receive the equipment after the mission. Just check.

"Why wasn't a device like this used before?"

"Because Karma Taj's psychic index is rising." Amphitryon said, "In the latest psychic stability test, you failed to achieve the Alpha level. For your safety, you must wear these devices .”

Wanda Maximoff gave him a hard look.

"She is a tough girl." The emperor said to the witches. "I know if she looks delicate, but if she really only has the character of a rich girl, she will never survive to adulthood with her own blood relatives. I will never ask She had killed many people in her known memory before becoming an adult, but as a girl living in a country with a US military base, she still worked hard and tried her best to save others before joining Hydra's human experimentation program. Just a little bit is worthy of admiration.”

"She is the family you found yourself, and I know how you feel about her," Bayonetta said. "My mother lived in Sicily, so I am a Sicilian. You grew up as a man around me, and I I know you, because I gave you some of my values. We both know what this means, and I wouldn't be surprised that you care about her, but you must have a clear understanding of her dangers. Her relationship with the Ethereal Plane The connection is far closer than mine, even comparable to yours, and the influence of etheric energy on genes will give her extraordinary power."

She paused.

"Just like you, the ether will change her body and mind. Although you played the role of the Supreme Mage to influence you, it is still too late for her." This is the first time the Witch has spoken to Wanda Mark Simov commented. He listened attentively and made no comment. Ceresa is an Italian woman, a Sicilian woman to be precise. Although Ceresa is not a woman with traditional Sicilian values, the Sicilian spirit of never obeying authority is passed on to her from Rosa. Except for intimate time or family time, no one can expect to hear a gentle word from her, even Joan of Arc has some complaints about it.

"Keep your guard up," she said. "I don't really trust her."

"I will pay attention, her test scores are not up to standard."

"You should consider the reward for inviting me to perform this mission."

Amon glanced at Wanda Maximoff. The latter was part of a sequence of battles in which the Emperor paid for her New York penthouse, travel limousine, and various means of living. You must know that the various fees paid to Wanda Maximov are enough to provide the basic living expenses of civilians in a small town in the Yugoslav Federation. Even decision-making employees of civilians in plutocratic companies such as JPMorgan Chase cannot enjoy such generous benefits. Salary and living standard - even if she opens an INS account and takes pictures of her daily life every day, her high-quality living standard is enough for her to earn a lot of money through operating self-media - however, Wanda Maximoff As before, I tried my best to avoid using social software. The only social software I used was Twitter, and it was to follow the accounts of the Avengers, Steve Rogers, and my blood brother.

Especially the latter.

Wanda Maximov knew that her biological brother could not keep a secret, so she chose to keep an eye on Pietro Maximov's social accounts. However, the communication equipment she used did not use chips from companies such as Qualcomm and Samsung. Instead, it was civilian equipment manufactured by Mars with part of its production capacity. It installed a large number of special spy programs to ensure the user's information security and can be used in Reverse hack into CIA, FBI, Homeland Security and old S.H.I.E.L.D. databases when necessary. Therefore, it is a bit excessive to call it a civilian device. After all, the computing power of quantum chips far exceeds the combined computing power of the servers of the above organizations.

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Wanda Maximoff found that the topic was not appropriate.

The emperor, who was sitting on the main seat of the assault transport boat, did not open his eyes.

Wanda Maximoff could smell the smell of metal, sweat and cleaning incense emanating from his body. Her sixth sense told her that the man in front of her who she could never accurately observe in the sea of ​​souls seemed to be trying his best to suppress his power. Inside her body—this was a serious military operation, and joking was not appropriate right now—she recalled seeing human soldiers in black all-environment combat uniforms, and fighting in black power armor with gold-trimmed waists. The sisters took off from the hangar on several gunboats, as well as large aircraft such as transport aircraft and assault transport boats, which could transport personnel and armored vehicles to plateau and mountainous areas that conventional vehicles could not reach in a short period of time.

None of this was the Emperor in her office, using understatement to describe her role in the operation. This is not a fast-in, fast-out, quick problem-solving operation that may not even result in casualties.

The emperor takes this mission very seriously, and he definitely doesn't just want to talk to the Supreme Mage.

Many questions rose in her throat.

"Smart girl, I hear the question lingering on the tip of your tongue. Since you want to know, I will pick out some of the answers."

As if the entire cabin became brighter, the tall blond woman with beautiful muscular lines walked in. The supernatural radiance of the Emperor was suppressed, but from the moment the woman appeared, the light in the air rose to a new level. In Wanda Maximov's sight, the edges of all objects in the cabin seemed to become blurred and shiny, and everything began to become unreal. The woman stroked the emperor's decorative heraldic shield inlaid on the upper left side of the breastplate with an affectionate gesture. When Wanda wanted to move her fingers and stand up from her seat, she found that she couldn't do it at all - and then She could move - Wanda Maximoff twisted her neck, crimson psychic lightning flashed in her eyes, psychic arcs shot through the air and danced between her fingers.

"First, back off. Second, who are you?"

"The person who crowns Him. The Supreme Mage cannot perform this duty, so I will complete this ceremony in the Supreme Mage's stead." Only then did Wanda Maximoff notice that the woman was wearing a hat that was almost identical to the emperor's The golden laurel crown, she didn't even notice before because the blond hair was too dazzling. The woman wearing ancient Greek armor said, "I educated him and gave him this shield. I am his mother. I know you are a little surprised. Maybe you have never heard the witch mention me. After all, the witch and I are talking about him. There was some conflict over his time allocation. But that didn’t stop him from coming back to me because that was his mission.”
