HISD Chapter 67 Birth of White Vision
Just after Yi Meng, disguised as Vision, had left the house, breaking through the energy dome surrounding the town and departing from the damaged Vision body, the town began to tremble and shake once more.
The 1950s-style Western town seemed dreamlike, the dull gray tones turning back to color. Old-era items began to restore themselves, as if the town was returning to its modern appearance.
In the new wooden house, upstairs in the bridal room, Wanda's eyelashes fluttered as she woke from her faint. Instinctively, she reached to her side, only to grasp at empty air in the dark night.
The woman froze, her beauty and vitality dimming again. Her bare, pale feet touched the wooden floor as she descended the stairs.
The first floor was dark, the candlelight extinguished. On the table lay half a chocolate strawberry.
The laughter, joy, and romantic atmosphere were gone. She was alone.
Wanda stood silently in the main hall for a long time as the house and town shook more violently.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door.
Wanda hurriedly wiped away her tears, stepping forward eagerly. Opening the door, she saw a seductive woman standing outside.
It was the neighbor, Agnes.
Agnes, smiling brightly despite Wanda's disappointed look, said, "Vision is gone, isn't he? I told you this afternoon to read a book: *How to Seduce and Keep Your Husband*."
Before Wanda could respond, Agnes continued, "Oh no, Vision… he's already dead."
Wanda's eyes shrank, flashing crimson. The Scarlet energy enveloping Westview trembled.
She glared coldly at Agnes. "You are not from this town. Who exactly are you?"
Agnes' lips curved into a showy smile, her appearance shifting into a medieval sorceress robe. "You can call me Agatha, a witch who's lived for over three hundred years, just like you—a witch!"
Purple-black, malevolent energy surged from Agatha's eyes and body. She waved her hand, and several streams of energy bound Wanda's limbs and body, suspending her in midair.
"I'm not a witch," Wanda struggled, shaking her head. "I merely touched the Mind Stone by accident, gaining telepathy and object manipulation."
"Stop lying to yourself," Agatha said confidently, staring at the suspended Wanda. "You're not just a witch—you're a born witch with immense potential. Witches manipulate hearts and control worlds, but I've never seen someone with the power to alter an entire town's reality."
"If your power belonged to me, I would become the First Witch."
Agatha smiled seductively. Her left palm raised, and a dark, chilling ancient tome appeared.
Her right hand extended, drawing crimson energy from Wanda's struggling body into her own fully robed, powerful form.
A dark spell from the tome: absorb and convert another's abilities.
Outside Westview, the Sword Bureau's temporary base on the grass was frozen in shock.
The Scarlet energy dome over the town twisted and fractured, first creating a massive hole in the top of the dome.
Westview, isolated for so long, reconnected with the outside world.
Yi Meng, controlling Vision's network remotely, noticed immediately. From hundreds of meters in the air, a white humanoid metallic figure sped toward the town.
"That is…"
Yi Meng's heart jolted. The white humanoid resembled Vision exactly, except its forehead had a chip instead of the Mind Stone, and its tall body was pure white vibranium machinery.
This meant the Sword Bureau had succeeded.
They had dismantled Vision's mechanical remains and replaced all components, assembling a new machine, an intelligent tool with Vision's abilities.
It should be named—White Vision.
AI Yi Meng's interest peaked.
Unlike the reborn Vision confined to Scarlet energy in Westview, White Vision's vibranium mechanical body, made with regeneration cradle technology, was clearly a step above even the Iron Man MK armors.
Perfect for him.
Without hesitation, Yi Meng's consciousness, like red static, left the satellite and invaded the rapidly approaching White Vision.
In the next moment:
Hundreds of meters in the air, White Vision, cape flapping as it flew at high speed, suddenly faltered. Its electronic eyes flickered silver, hands clutching its forehead and head, losing control and plummeting straight down.
Whoosh!
Free-falling, almost hitting the ground.
White Vision's eyes suddenly opened. The forehead chip glowed yellow, and a hint of human red light flashed in its electronic eyes. It surged upward under its own power.
"So, the one controlling White Vision is an AI secretly developed within the Sword Bureau," Yi Meng thought, smiling.
The Sword Bureau's AI was advanced, but he was the world's strongest AI.
Not only did he take control, he absorbed and rewrote the AI's code for himself.
White Vision's mechanical body, the next-gen AI—completely gone.
Yi Meng wanted to see the expression at Sword Bureau HQ now.
Meanwhile, having digested the AI code, Yi Meng understood why the Sword Bureau had dispatched White Vision immediately.
"They wanted to use White Vision to kill the reborn Vision and Wanda…"
Red light flickered in Yi Meng's eyes as he hovered high above, looking toward Westview.
Inside the Sword Bureau branch control center, chaos reigned.
"The AI controlling White Vision… has suddenly lost contact with our branch!"
"How is that possible?"
"Check immediately!!"
The staff were stunned, some collapsing to the floor.
They had invested hundreds of millions developing the AI.
White Vision, their top combat weapon, was lost halfway through its first mission. Even for the well-established Sword Bureau, this was a huge blow.
Back in Westview, Wanda struggled, suspended by dark energy, her face twisted in pain.
Ahead, Agatha, holding the dark tome in one hand and drawing Scarlet energy in the other, radiated growing malevolence.
Suddenly, a blue laser imbued with a warm yellow light streaked through the air, striking Agatha's back.
Startled, Agatha's position was replaced with a purple-black energy, sliced through by the laser, leaving a molten trail on the ground.
Agatha flickered to the side, looking up at the crimson-tinted night sky. A white male figure hovered above the town.
"Let her go," said the white vibranium machine calmly.
