Wanda looked at Cassius with her big, blinking eyes.
He knew what the little witch was thinking. Ever since he had fought Odin, he noticed that her eyes held a hint of sadness whenever she mentioned the Avengers. He had been a little confused then, but now he realized the little witch had probably wanted to bring this up for a long time but just didn't know how to.
"We've been together for a while now, haven't we? As long as you're ready, you can tell them anytime," Cassius said with a smile, pinching the little witch's upturned nose.
"Really?" Wanda was surprised that Cassius had agreed so readily. From the time she had spent with him, she knew that he was a person who hated trouble. Once Tony and the others found out about Cassius's identity, there would definitely be trouble. But even so, Cassius had agreed without hesitation. Tears welled up in her eyes out of sheer emotion.
"Of course, it's true. Because you are my..."
Before Cassius could finish, the beauty in his arms raised her head and kissed him. At the same time, he felt that his weak spot had been discovered by Wanda. He was stunned. This was the most proactive the little witch had ever been. A fire immediately ignited within him.
He scooped Wanda up in his arms. As they entered the room, a dark red energy closed the door behind them. As the lights went out, a crimson light and a dark red light flashed alternately like sirens.
The next morning, a golden glow appeared on the horizon. A ray of light shone through a gap in the curtains, like a golden pillar, filling the room with warmth.
Cassius groggily opened his eyes and saw Wanda next to him, a smile on his face.
'This little witch always gets so bold after drinking!' he thought to himself. This truly was a new development. He was even surprised by what had happened last night. The little witch would probably have a hard time moving around today.
"I'll get up and make some breakfast first." Cassius looked at the clock on the wall and carefully left the room. Everyone was probably still asleep since they had all had some drinks yesterday. Gwen and Lorna were still sleeping soundly in their rooms.
After making a simple breakfast, Cassius had a little something to eat.
For him now, even if he didn't eat anything, it wouldn't affect his body. After all, with his body's current physical condition and the power of his Ancient Doomsday bloodline, he no longer needed to eat. In fact, just absorbing some external energy, like sunlight, was enough to restore his body's functions.
But that didn't mean he wouldn't eat. Eating was an extremely enjoyable thing for him. For Cassius, if he stopped eating, he would essentially stop being human.
"It's really rare to have such a relaxing time," Cassius smiled and turned on the TV. Although he wasn't interested in the news, he felt that having the news on would make the air feel a little more lively. He sat on the sofa, waved his right hand, and took out the Chthon Scroll.
"I haven't really looked at this thing since I got it," he muttered. Although he had copied some of it for Wanda before, he hadn't studied it in detail. As his power grew stronger, his need for the Chthon Scroll grew less and less. Since he had some free time, he might as well spend some time studying the Chthon Scroll.
He had to admit that many of the spells in the Chthon Scroll were very interesting. Compared to the Book of Vishanti, Cassius was more interested in the Chthon Scroll.
The Book of Vishanti was all about white and defensive magic, mainly for self-protection. But the Chthon Scroll was completely different. It involved more spells; almost all black magic originated from the Chthon Scroll.
It was because of this that even though the Chthon Scroll was filled with black magic, it was still extremely tempting to any sorcerer.
Although there were many spells, Cassius could remember most of them with just a glance. This was the benefit of having a God-Tier Magic Talent. Most of the magic had a lot in common. The more he read, the more he learned and felt. Although some of the spells were simple, the truths they contained gave Cassius a sudden realization.
At that moment, Cassius's eyes lingered on one of the spells.
[Dreamwalking]
"This spell seems a little interesting," Cassius subconsciously rubbed his chin as he read the description of Dreamwalking.
Simply put, after using Dreamwalking, a person could find their counterparts in the multiverse and control their bodies for their own use. In Marvel, the Scarlet Witch had used this move to travel to the multiverse. He hadn't expected to see this spell in the Chthon Scroll.
"Too bad. I don't know if I have a counterpart in the multiverse..." Cassius thought to himself. After all, he was an anomaly in this world. This meant that a person who had appeared out of thin air in this world shouldn't have a counterpart.
But this involved a lot of knowledge. After all, he didn't know if his former self in other worlds had also traveled here. The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.
"Forget it. Let's look at the next spell," Cassius shook his head, throwing these chaotic thoughts out of his mind.
The next spell was the advanced version of Dreamwalking.
[Multiversal Traversal]
After learning this spell, a person could travel between the multiverses without a counterpart. It was like America Chavez's ability, but the difference was that the travel could be more precise and accurate, without a large deviation. He had to say, this was much more convenient than Dreamwalking.
"Hmm, I should learn this!"
Although the superheroes had already appeared in his world, other worlds were still very interesting. What's more, what if he could bring another Wanda back?
Thinking about this, Cassius couldn't help but smirk. Although Lorna and Wanda were sisters, they only had the same father. They didn't have many similarities. But two Wandas would be different.
Getting back to the point, the difficulty of this spell was also far greater than that of Dreamwalking. This was why the Dark Scarlet Witch had not chosen to use Multiversal Traversal at the time.
There was another difference: Dreamwalking controlled a version of yourself in another universe. If they died, they died, and you wouldn't suffer any loss.
But Multiversal Traversal meant you had to physically go to another universe. This also meant a lot of risk, since no one could be sure what kind of enemies they would encounter in another universe.
"But for me, I should really study this," Cassius said, not because he wanted to bring back another Wanda or Gwen. He just hoped that more righteous heroes could come to this world.
Thinking about this, Cassius slowly sat cross-legged. After memorizing the contents in his mind, he slowly closed his eyes.
Dark red energy and black mist gushed out. Cassius slowly floated in the air. The energies quickly intertwined but did not merge. They were like two vortices of different colors, constantly flowing around his body.
An inexplicable feeling came to him. It was as if he could clearly feel his body and his spirit. Although they were one, at this moment, they could be separated. This was very different from a soul leaving a body. This feeling was as if something was pulling him out. And the him that was being pulled out felt like his true self.
At that moment, his soul, wrapped in his spirit, shot up into the sky, leaving the house. A strange, twisted space appeared in the sky. As his soul dove in, it instantly vanished.
"Logan, this way!"
In the darkness, Cassius heard a series of shouts. He opened his eyes.
Boom...
Intense gunshots and explosions came from all around. He was on a battlefield engulfed in war. The bodies of soldiers were everywhere, and bullets and cannonballs fell together.
Cassius frowned slightly at the sight of the battlefield. He turned around and saw a man with metal claws on his hands running through a forest filled with gunfire. He had a thick beard and many wounds on his body, but they didn't slow him down.
Looking behind him, there were countless people chasing after him. Bullets were flying toward him as if they were free. The man gritted his teeth and ran toward Cassius.
Cassius frowned slightly, but just as he was about to dodge, he realized the man had run right through his body. He turned around and saw that the man was running into the depths of the forest like a maniac.
"Logan?" Cassius frowned slightly. The man was Wolverine, James "Logan" Howlett! He hadn't expected his soul to come to this world. And this world was completely different from what he had expected.
"It seems like I failed." Cassius had thought he would be able to travel with his body. He hadn't expected only his soul to come to another world. Since his body hadn't arrived, Cassius didn't plan to continue exploring. With a single thought, his soul instantly vanished as if it were a vortex.
Whoosh!
With a moment of dizziness, Cassius's eyes widened. His body fell from the air and landed on the sofa.
"Phew... I'm back!"
Looking at his surroundings, Cassius's vision returned to the living room. Although he hadn't succeeded, it was enough to prove that the spell worked.
"It seems like I'll really be able to travel to the multiverse with my body in the future!" Cassius couldn't help but look at the Chthon Scroll in front of him. Just thinking about being able to travel to different worlds made him smile.
Tap, tap, tap..
Just then, he heard footsteps from upstairs. Wanda came down in her pajamas, her eyes still half-closed.
"Cassius!" Wanda came up to Cassius and sat on his lap. Ever since Cassius had agreed yesterday, their relationship had become even more intimate.
"Ah!" The moment she sat down, Wanda jumped up, instantly waking up. She vaguely remembered what had happened yesterday.
"Come, let me heal you. We'll have breakfast in a bit." Cassius grabbed Wanda's hand, and with the power of the Talisman, her body felt much better.
"Do you want to go out and have some fun today?" Wanda said in a playful tone, leaning on Cassius.
"Where are you going? We want to go too!" Before Cassius could even speak, he heard Lorna and Gwen's hurried footsteps from upstairs. Excitement was written all over their faces.
He had to say, after spending time with Gwen, Lorna's gloomy demeanor had finally brightened up. And whenever they were together, there was a faint smile on Lorna's face.
"Let's go to an amusement park today!" Cassius hesitated for a moment before suggesting it. Although there was no amusement park in Westview, it wasn't a problem with the Inter-Dimensional Portal.
"Yay! I've never been to an amusement park before!" Lorna was the most excited. She had only seen them on TV and had never been to one. Although Wanda had never been either, she was much more composed due to her age.
After everyone had their fill of food and drink, Cassius took them to an amusement park. To avoid causing a stir, he specifically chose a destination in his home country.
For the rest of the time, they basically traveled to different places. The main place they went to was Westview, since it was the place Wanda wanted to go to the most.
....
Avengers Compound.
In the office.
"You look a little nervous," Cassius said, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and chewing on an apple. He had noticed that Wanda's legs were shaking and that her eyes kept glancing at the door.
"A little..." Wanda said, holding her hands tightly, her face clearly showing some worry. Ever since they had returned, Cassius had volunteered to come and reveal his identity. But even though she was here, Wanda still felt a mixture of anticipation and anxiety. It was like a child who had received a gift and was about to open it.
"Don't be nervous, it's just an introduction." Cassius held Wanda's hands, comforting her. This was the one thing Wanda wanted to do the most, so he had brought her here as soon as they had returned.
"Thank you." After feeling Cassius's encouragement, Wanda's panicked heart calmed down a lot.
Just then, two figures entered the room, laughing and talking. It was Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff.
"Hey, Wanda, you're back..." Steve had just raised his hand to greet her, but the smile on his face instantly froze. He clearly saw that the person next to Wanda was none other than Tony's good friend, Cassius!
It would have been fine if Cassius had just come here alone. What was worse was that Cassius was holding Wanda's hands. Their closeness made his mind crash. Natasha was in a similar state, her eyes about to pop out of her head.
"This... This is the Stark Industries shareholder?!" Although she hadn't met Cassius before, she had seen his file. From their intimate actions, it was clear that he was Wanda's boyfriend. And Wanda had mentioned before that her boyfriend was the mysterious person!
In an instant, their minds were like a grenade had exploded inside of them, making them feel dizzy.
"Hello. I'm Cassius, Wanda's boyfriend!" Cassius stood up and extended his hand for a handshake, introducing himself.
It took them a while to finally shake hands with Cassius, their hands trembling.
"I'll send Tony a message first and tell him to be prepared!" Natasha suddenly came to her senses. What was even more shocking than this was Tony.
A moment later, hurried footsteps were heard from outside. Tony and Rhodey pushed open the door. Tony had just received Natasha's message that the mysterious person had finally arrived. But he didn't understand why Natasha had told him to be prepared. Was Wanda's boyfriend a demon or something?
But the moment he pushed open the door, he froze. He saw Wanda standing in the middle of the office, holding Cassius's hand. Tony's mind was buzzing.
"What in the...?"
