Magneto uttered two words.
"But how can I trust you? I need to see proof."
"Of course."
Lynt nodded, as if he had anticipated his words.
"Take me to Wanda."
"Now."
The path to Wanda was more oppressive than imagined.
It was a metal corridor leading deeper into the Base, with no superfluous decorations on the walls, only cold steel and an occasional flashing red warning light.
Magneto walked in front, his figure aloof and heavy.
Each step was like treading on a historical node.
Raven followed Lynt, and for the first time, a flame of "jealousy" appeared in her golden pupils.
The flame was faint, deeply hidden, but real.
She had bound herself to Lynt to become stronger.
But now, another woman, a woman far more powerful and important than her, was about to share... no, was about to snatch away this "privilege" that belonged only to her.
This feeling was like her most precious treasure was about to be defiled by someone else.
It made her feel utterly uncomfortable.
Lynt could feel the low pressure beside him, but he had no time to deal with it.
He was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle with the system panel in his mind.
"[About to make contact with a top Mutant (Scarlet Witch), estimated dual cultivation reward: $1,000,000.]"
One million U.S. dollars!
And in cash!
Lynt's breathing quickened by half a beat.
This was much faster than painstakingly being a prophet in the stock market!
This was a money printing machine! A nuclear-powered one!
The power to crush one's kidneys!
He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and began to ponder another more serious question.
Wanda's power was Chaos Magic, a reality-bending BUG.
With his small frame, would he be drained dry by her...?
Or directly torn to shreds by the violent energy?
Chicken shreds.
"System, a friendly reminder, what is the risk of death for this operation?"
Lynt silently asked in his mind.
"[The Yin-Yang Joyful Buddha Body (Pure Yang physique) has an absolute neutralizing and suppressive effect on all Yin, chaotic, and mental powers. Host safety factor: 99.9%.]"
"[Risk Warning: Host, please maintain your original intention and avoid indulging in the pleasure of power fusion.]"
"Oh wow, there's pleasure too?"
Lynt felt even more at ease.
As long as he was fine, everything else was negotiable.
As they spoke, they had already arrived before a heavy blast door made of superalloy.
The door was covered with complex runes and energy lines, as if sealing some peerless fierce beast.
Magneto raised his hand, the complex lock silently disengaged, and the heavy blast door slowly slid open.
The sight behind the door made Lynt gasp.
That was not a room.
That was a fragment of twisted reality.
The ceiling dripped downwards like melting cheese, the walls were colorful like an overturned palette, and furniture floated in mid-air in an anti-gravity state, slowly rotating.
The entire space was filled with a nauseating, discordant madness.
And in the center of this chaos, a girl in a red dress was hugging her knees, curled up on a bed that barely maintained its original state.
She had beautiful brown long hair, a haggard face, and her eyes were tightly closed.
Visible, crimson energy ripples were constantly spreading outwards from her center.
With each ripple, the surrounding reality twisted a little more intensely.
She was Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch.
A god living in her own nightmare.
"Her condition has been very bad recently."
Magneto's voice carried a rare trace of fatigue and heartache.
"We can only use this method to barely suppress the aftershocks of her power."
Raven watched this scene, her eyes complex.
She felt the terror of that power, a chaos far beyond her comprehension, enough to crush everything.
"Leave it to me."
Lynt took a deep breath and stepped inside.
The moment he stepped into the room, the chaotic energy immediately swarmed towards him like sharks smelling blood.
Countless insane screams and whispers seemed to echo in his ears, and the scene before him began to twist and spin.
A dizzying and nauseating sensation, stemming from the depths of his soul, rushed straight to his head.
However, just as these negative energies were about to invade his body.
His Yin-Yang Joyful Buddha Body automatically began to operate.
A gentle, pure, and scorching Pure Yang force, like the core of the Sun, rose from his Dantian and instantly flowed through his limbs and bones.
That power was like a red-hot branding iron, plunged into ice water.
"Sizzle—"
A soft sound.
All the encroaching chaotic energy was instantly neutralized, purified, and vanished into nothingness.
Lynt felt like a super purifier; wherever he went, the insane whispers and distorted illusions melted away like ice and snow under the scorching Sun.
Step by step, he walked against the invisible pressure to Wanda's bedside.
The girl seemed to sense something; her tightly closed eyelashes trembled violently, her body curled up even tighter, and she let out unconscious sleep talk.
"Don't... don't come closer... you'll... you'll hurt me..."
Her voice was filled with fear and despair.
Lynt looked at her pale little face, and his heart softened for no reason.
Putting aside her world-destroying power, she was just a poor girl toyed with by fate.
He did not speak, but slowly reached out and gently took her cold hand.
The moment of contact.
Boom!
In Lynt's mind, it was as if a hundred thousand nuclear bombs exploded simultaneously!
Endless, violent Chaos Magic energy, filled with destruction and sorrow, like finding a vent, surged madly into his body along his arm!
In that instant, he saw a girl's brief life.
He saw war, ruins, and dead family members.
He saw cold laboratories, and the despair of being used as a weapon.
He saw endless loneliness and bone-deep fear.
He turned back to the two people standing outside the door and spoke indifferently.
"Close the door. Don't come in no matter what you hear, wait for my notification."
Magneto was silent for a moment, then waved his hand, and the heavy door slammed shut.
Lynt held Wanda's hand and smiled gently.
"Don't be afraid, trust me, I will make you control him."
Wanda's frightened eyes still hadn't receded, but she still nodded.
These vast negative emotions were enough to make even the most resolute person instantly collapse into an idiot.
But Lynt's "Pure Yang Buddha Body" was like a bottomless black hole, and also like an eternal furnace.
No matter how the chaotic torrent rushed and roared, it was rapidly decomposed, refined, and purified by the supreme Yang and rigid power within his body.
Finally, it transformed into the purest energy, part of which integrated into his limbs and bones, while the other part, after purification, slowly flowed back into Wanda's body in an incomparably gentle manner.
This was a perfect cycle.
A magical process of pounding red poison into White nectar.
Hearing familiar yet strange sounds outside the door, Magneto felt a mistaken impression that his cabbage was being rooted.
He turned to Raven, who was standing beside him, opened his mouth, and then swallowed his question.
Because Raven's face was gloomy, her fists were clenched, and her eyes were full of jealousy, and even a hint of envy.
He already had the answer in his heart.
"[Ding!"
"[First dual cultivation with a top Mutant (Scarlet Witch) completed.]"
"[Host's overall strength increased: x1.1.]"
"[U.S. dollar reward obtained: $1,000,000.]"
"[Female's benefit: Chaos Magic stability improved, mental state tending towards stability.]"
Lynt was so thrilled he almost cried out loud.
