Scarlet Witch’s Plan

Galactus cast a doting glance at Galacta and said to Wang Bert, "Lina should bear a seal placed on her by Galactus. Once Galactus falls, the seal will automatically unlock, allowing Lina to understand her origins and responsibilities.

"Besides, Galactus would never harm his daughter. Everything he has done should have been for her own good."

"All for his daughter’s good?"

Wang Bert’s eyes flickered. He asked, "If destroying Earth could help your daughter, would you destroy it?"

Galactus answered without the slightest hesitation, "Of course."

"I understand."

Wang Bert nodded. As he withdrew the aura of decay from Galactus, he said, "Galactus, you’re Galacta’s father, so I won’t kill you. But you have to tell me what consequences there would be if I did."

While rapidly devouring a ham, Galacta shouted, "If you dare kill my dad, I’ll fight you to the death!"

"Don’t talk while you’re eating. Didn’t Galactus teach you that?"

Wang Bert rapped Galacta on the head from afar and scolded her. Galacta shot him an unhappy glare, then continued eating her ham.

"Where there is birth, there is death. The universe is no exception."

Galactus fell silent for a moment before saying, "There are actually not five Creator Gods, but six. The last one is specifically responsible for destroying the universe. He is the personification of destruction."

Wang Bert narrowed his eyes. "Responsible for destroying the universe?"

"That’s right. His name is God Rune. Once I die, he will appear in the universe and carry out destruction."

Galactus nodded and said, "I am his lock."

Wang Bert asked, "Is he powerful?"

"He can destroy the universe. What do you think? He is stronger than us. Even the Living Tribunal cannot deal with him."

Galactus said, "Whether for the sake of the universe or Galacta, I hope you will show mercy."

Wang Bert was silent for a moment, then asked, "How can Galactus be sealed?"

Galacta mocked, "You’re hilarious. How could my dad possibly answer that?"

Wang Bert stared expressionlessly at Galacta. She stuck out her tongue and went back to eating.

Galactus gave a bitter smile and said, "Sealing me isn’t difficult. As long as my energy is drained, I can be sealed.

"The problem is that I need to keep eating. If I remain sealed for too long, I’ll go mad and become a mindless monster. When that happens, the universe will face a catastrophe."

Wang Bert asked, "Can your time be stopped completely?"

Galactus shook his head. "Time can only freeze me temporarily."

Wang Bert asked a few more questions before finally saying, "All right, Galactus. Thank you for being my sparring partner during this time. Once I deal with the remaining matters, I’ll leave this universe and carry out my mission."

What was Wang Bert’s mission? Naturally, it was to protect Earth and protect the universe.

"You have a mission. So do I."

Galactus nodded and said, "Galacta, stop eating. Have the Four Heralds find planets for me. I need to feed."

"Okay, I’ll look while I eat."

Galacta nodded, hoisted the ham over her shoulder, and went to find the Four Heralds. Wang Bert smiled and said, "She’s a good girl. She just eats a little too much."

Galactus hesitated before asking, "Do you know where she came from?"

Wang Bert asked in confusion, "Isn’t she Galactus’s daughter?"

Galactus said, "Actually, she is a Cosmic Tapeworm in my stomach."

"A Cosmic Tapeworm?"

Wang Bert was astonished. That beautiful little Galacta was actually a Cosmic Tapeworm? "That’s right. A Cosmic Tapeworm. So am I."

Galactus nodded and said, "There is also a Cosmic Tapeworm inside her. When this universe is destroyed, she will become the Galactus of the new universe. At the same time, the tapeworm inside her will mature and become her children."

Wang Bert understood somewhat. "A cycle?"

"That’s right, a cycle. I don’t know what my counterpart in your universe is up to, but it may be related to Cosmic Tapeworms."

Galactus said, "Cosmic Tapeworms represent continuation, but also torment. Ever since she was little, Galacta has been resisting the appetite of the Cosmic Tapeworm."

"Is that so? I understand."

Wang Bert nodded and said, "I’ll get to the bottom of everything."

Galactus said nothing more. He simply floated quietly through space, waiting for the Heralds to find food.

Wang Bert teleported back to Earth and contacted Wanda, telling her the good news that he had defeated Galactus.

On a planet somewhere in the universe, Wanda fished the Soul Stone from a lake and said excitedly, "I finally gathered all Six Infinity Stones."

At that moment, a red-clad phantom in a red cloak suddenly appeared behind Wanda. It was the Scarlet Witch. She drifted in front of Wanda and said, "The stones are complete. Given the Blood God’s personality, he will definitely go after Chthon next. This is our chance."

"What do you want to do?"

Wanda frowned. She had been in contact with the Scarlet Witch since the previous world. It was worth mentioning that she had not hidden this from Wang Bert.

"It’s simple. Encourage the Blood God to deal with Chthon and Vishanti at the same time, then seize the fruits of victory and become the Creator God of magic."

The Scarlet Witch said, "Finally, the two of us will merge and become the only Scarlet Witch across all worlds. Only then can we escape fate’s torment and find happiness."

The Scarlet Witch was also a magician, and she possessed two kinds of powers: mutant abilities and Chaos Magic.

The Scarlet Witch’s mutant ability was probability manipulation. For instance, if you originally had a one-in-ten-thousand chance of winning a prize, she could alter it to one percent.

Her Chaos Magic could greatly enhance that ability, turning one percent into one hundred percent. The combination of the two powers created an absurd ability—reality manipulation.

That was why, when the Scarlet Witch declared, "There are no more mutants in this world," all mutants vanished. Reality itself had been altered by her.

Once the Scarlet Witch became the God of Magic, she could even easily destroy and restart the universe, becoming a supreme Creator God above the Five Creator Gods.

Wanda frowned deeply. "You want me to deceive Bert?"

"What’s wrong with that? He’s just a scumbag."

The Scarlet Witch said disdainfully, "A clone and the original body are fundamentally the same person. They share memories and emotions. What good is a loyal clone if the original body is unfaithful? Only someone as foolish as you would fall for it."

"I’m not foolish. It’s about attitude."

Wanda said unhappily, "The fact that Bert is willing to use a clone to love me and satisfy me proves that I truly matter to him. Besides, I’m the only woman in the Entire Universe to receive such treatment.

"Bert cares about me. With other women, he only cares about sex."

"If he truly cared about you, he would give up all other women and spend his life with you."

The Scarlet Witch sneered. "Wanda, if this plan succeeds, we will become the strongest beings in the universe. Then we can stay with the men we love forever and never part."

"You love Vision. I love Bert. We’re not the same."

Wanda said, "I won’t deceive Bert, much less use him. And I will never keep Bert in a cage."

Controlling every aspect of one’s man was no different from keeping him in a cage.

"Naive. You have no idea how cruel fate can be."

"I do. I have merged with so many Wandas. I know exactly how malicious fate has been toward us."

Wanda said, "Bert once told me something: pitiable people must have something hateful about them. Scarlet Witch, seventy percent of your misery is fate’s fault. The other thirty percent is your own responsibility. Your personality is too extreme."

"The one with the problem is you. Love is exclusive. It cannot tolerate even the slightest flaw."

The Scarlet Witch said disdainfully, "After we merge, I will kill every woman Bert Wang has touched, then erase all of Bert Wang’s memories and make him merge with Vision."

"You’re overthinking it. If we merge, I will definitely be the dominant one. And besides, I’ll only ever have one man—Bert."

"To defeat me, you must first become the God of Magic. Otherwise, you will only be completely absorbed by me."

The Scarlet Witch said, "I’ve said all I have to say. What you do is your own choice, Wanda. Women have to rely on themselves."

"That’s because you’ve never met a good man."

Wanda said, "I’ll tell Bert everything. Then he’ll help me become the God of Magic."

"You’re so naive. How could he possibly allow you to become stronger than him?"

The Scarlet Witch shook her head and said, "He’ll definitely sweet-talk you into giving up on becoming the God of Magic. From beginning to end, he has been nothing but a scumbag, a scumbag skilled at pretty words."

"Then why do you look so happy whenever you listen to them?"

Wanda looked at her with contempt. Every time Wang Bert said something sweet, this woman would come over to eavesdrop. If Wanda could beat her, she would definitely show her why flowers were red.

The Scarlet Witch was a little embarrassed. Vision simply did not know how to sweet-talk anyone. She said, "In any case, he’s a scumbag. He can’t be trusted."

"I trust him."

Wanda said confidently. At that moment, a communication request came through. The Scarlet Witch snorted and returned to Wanda’s body.

In the light screen, Wang Bert smiled at Wanda. "Congratulations, darling."

Wanda asked in confusion, "Congratulations for what?"

"Congratulations on your man becoming number one in the world. From now on, you’ll be the wife of the strongest man in the world."

Wang Bert struck a strongman pose and said, "Your man has defeated Galactus."

"You’re impossible."

Wanda chided him, though she was delighted inside. The Scarlet Witch snorted inwardly. What a scumbag.

"How is the stone collection going? If you haven’t gathered them all, I’ll come collect them with you."

Wang Bert said, "Once we have all the stones, we’ll go have a chat with Chthon and see whether we can turn him into a puppet too. If we can, things will be much easier."

Wanda hesitated, then said, "Bert, I want to devour Chthon and Vishanti and become the Creator God of magic."

"The Creator God of magic?"

Wang Bert stroked his chin and fell into thought. The Scarlet Witch sneered within Wanda’s heart. He must be thinking of how to trick you.

"No, I know that expression. He must be thinking about something naughty."

The Scarlet Witch looked suspicious. Something naughty? At such a serious time, he’s thinking about that sort of thing? Really?

Wanda spat, "Of course it’s true. Do I not know him? That guy’s mind is full of dirty thoughts. Every so often, he comes up with some new trick. It’s so annoying."

The Scarlet Witch complained, "Why do you sound so happy about it?"

At that moment, Wang Bert crossed space and appeared in front of Wanda out of thin air. He asked, "Wanda, three things. First, can you really devour them? Second, will there be any side effects?"

"I can devour them. I’m confident. As for side effects, there definitely won’t be any. It might just take a little longer."

Wanda said, "Um, how about we wait until after the Main Universe war before devouring them?"

The Scarlet Witch sneered. You’re scared. You’re worried he won’t agree.

Wanda did not answer, because there was no need to. She had faith in Wang Bert. This man would not disappoint her.

"There’s no need. I can handle the Main Universe war. Your opportunity is more important."

Wang Bert shook his head. "Hey, doing naughty things with a Creator God will definitely be exciting. Especially since I’m not a Creator God yet."

Wanda blushed and kicked Wang Bert. This guy really had been thinking naughty thoughts. The Scarlet Witch was dumbfounded. Bert Wang had actually agreed, and for such a ridiculous reason? Her worldview was starting to crumble. Big brother, you’re supposed to be a ruthless hero. Can you stop being such a lovestruck fool?

At that moment, Wanda thought of something. She glared at Wang Bert and asked, "Wait, do you have some kind of designs on Death? Speak."

"Absolutely not. Death is the one with designs on me."

Wang Bert immediately swore. He really had no such thoughts. The one who did was the original body. What did that have to do with him?

No matter how promiscuous or scummy the original body was, he, the Dragon Soul Clone, was still an innocent and peerlessly good man.

"You’d better not."

Wanda snorted, then asked, "By the way, didn’t you say there were three things? You’ve only mentioned two."

"The third thing is, after you become a Creator God…"

Wang Bert whispered into Wanda’s ear. Her face turned bright red, but she did not object. The Scarlet Witch was dumbfounded. It could be done like that? It sounded so exciting.

"Scumbag. He really is a scumbag."

The Scarlet Witch gritted her teeth. Wang Bert had been with countless women. When it came to seducing women, no one could compare to him. No matter how clever a woman was, once she fell into his hands, she would turn into a meek little woman.

All these years, Wang Bert had worked tirelessly, fighting monsters and leveling up, all so his wives could become the happiest women in the world. He could not help it. He was just that kind of good man.

"All right, we’ll talk about that after you become a Creator God."

Wang Bert took Wanda’s hand and said, "For now, let’s deal with Chthon and Vishanti."

At the mention of business, Wanda’s expression turned serious. She asked, "Bert, both of them are extremely powerful. Do we have enough time?"

"We don’t have much time, so we have to deal with both of them at once."

Wang Bert said.

"Both at once? Bert, combined, they can even fight a Creator God."

Wanda reminded him.

"Dealing with both at once is actually easier, because they are mortal enemies who will never rest until one of them is dead."

Wang Bert shook his head, raised his hand, and said, "Give me the Infinity Stones."

"He’s tricking you. Don’t give him the Infinity Stones."

The Scarlet Witch warned sourly. Though she did not want to admit it, she was truly jealous of Wanda.

Wanda ignored the Scarlet Witch and merged all the Infinity Stones into Wang Bert’s Infinity Gauntlet. Without another word, Wang Bert snapped his fingers.

In a mysterious space, Chthon and Vishanti’s three members appeared at the same time. All four were stunned. They had been drinking at home, eating delicacies, and listening to music. How had they suddenly ended up here?

Given their power, they had not even been able to resist?

Then they spotted each other and shouted at the same time, "Vishanti (Chthon), why did you transfer me here?"
