Chapter 121 Meeting the Ancient One
“Brother?” Wanda looked at Ger and asked in a hoarse voice.
Pietro, Peter, and the others looked at Gel with puzzled expressions, their faces showing doubt and reluctance.
Gel forced himself not to look closely at the expressions on their faces, sighed inwardly but didn't show it on his face, and said seriously, "The Battle of New York is over, but I still need to prepare for another great battle. The person who started the Battle of New York was definitely not Loki, you must know that very well, after all, those aliens in the sky and the spaceship mothership on the other side of the space hole are not owned by Loki."
Gol's words, echoing through the space, also triggered memories for Wanda and the others. The overwhelming aliens, airships, and spaceship motherships of that day, as well as the earth-shattering explosion that leveled the entire island of Manhattan, were all nightmares they could not shake off.
Everyone in Manhattan Island has had nightmares ever since, and they were no exception. They didn't know how many times they had woken up from nightmares and then tossed and turned, unable to fall back asleep.
These were things they dared not think about in detail, but when Ger suddenly brought them up, they were forced to reopen this wound and recall what had happened back then.
"Then I'll go with you."
"I'll go too."
"After spending so much time on Earth, it's time to go out into outer space and see what it's like."
Wanda, Pietro, Tony, and the others immediately spoke up.
Ger slowly shook his head, and Wanda and the others' hearts sank.
“None of us have ever been to outer space. If something happens, I can at least guarantee my own safety, but if I were to take you all with me, I couldn’t…” Ger’s words made Pietro and the others all lower their heads.
Ultimately, it was because their strength was too weak. In outer space, even Pietro's extreme speed seemed to be of little use.
Only Wanda said seriously, "Then brother, please take me there. My strength is definitely not much worse than yours now, and we have combined chaos magic. If we encounter danger, I can help you."
"But didn't you feel what happened when the combined chaos magic was used this time, Wanda?" Gel's words made Wanda lower her head with a gloomy expression.
It's unclear whether their chaos magic completely merged during the Battle of New York, or whether their chaos magic abilities were simply too powerful.
Previously, when the two combined their chaos magic, a powerful devouring force emanated from the chaos magic, and because Gale's chaos energy gained the upper hand, it almost completely stripped Wanda of her chaos energy.
This is a thirst for energy itself, one that even Geer cannot completely suppress. Moreover, this devouring power grows stronger with the passage of time as the Chaos Magic Alliance continues.
Gel suspected that once their combined chaos magic became stronger, their combined chaos magic would become completely unusable.
Seeing the puzzled expressions on Tony's and the others' faces, Ger explained briefly, and then Tony said, "Isn't there an old saying in the East, 'Everything has its limits'? Perhaps this is a kind of balance given to you by fate."
Gel nodded slightly. Although he had a more helpless explanation in his heart, he did not intend to say it at the moment.
“After I’m gone, Earth might not be so peaceful. With you here, at least we can ensure that Pietro and the others can escape to other planets in time if they encounter danger. That way, I can feel a little more at ease.” Gel smiled slowly, the sunlight streaming through the transparent window illuminating his profile, making his eyes sparkle. “Moreover, I now possess one of the Infinity Stones, the Reality Stone. This is almost the most suitable Infinity Stone for our chaos magic. Even if there is any danger, I can escape with the Reality Stone.”
Gel slowly took out the Reality Stone, which floated in the Chaos Magic like a cold moonlight suspended in the air. However, the faint red light it emitted could not be concealed even by the Chaos Magic.
For a moment, Wanda and the others focused their attention on the Reality Stone.
Even Wanda had nothing more to say in rebuttal. She looked at Gel, then at Pietro, and finally nodded.
As Gel stated, chaos magic possesses almost limitless power, while the Reality Stone also has the ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary, even creating things out of thin air. The two powers are so perfectly compatible that chaos magic can almost unleash the Reality Stone's full potential.
"So when do you plan to leave?" Natasha asked, looking at Gel with a wistful gaze.
Her gaze was like starlight piercing through illusion, causing Geer to instinctively look away.
After a moment, Gel raised his head again and looked at Wanda and the others: "I plan to stay on Earth for half a month, and at the same time, I will give Wanda and Pietro enough time to use the Reality Stone to upgrade their abilities. The stronger your abilities are, the more at ease I will be in outer space."
Once they become strong enough, the boost from the Infinity Stones won't drastically change their strength. They can even carry the Reality Stone with them, leveling up while doing other things without any disruption.
Therefore, half a month is enough time.
Wanda gritted her teeth, suppressing her reluctance, and could only nod.
Gel controlled the chaos magic, moving the Reality Stone toward Wanda. The Infinity Stone, which shimmered with a faint red light, floated in Wanda's hand in an instant.
“If there’s nothing else, Gol, you’d like to come with me to S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick has been wanting to see you for a long time.” Natasha looked at Gol with a piercing gaze, leaving him no choice but to agree.
