Quicksilver has now become a mage.
To be honest…
Aron did not expect things to develop to this point.
Imagine Kamar-Taj, which had always been known for masters of mysticism, suddenly getting a speedster!
A magical shield in the left hand.
A magical sword in the right.
And then, at the speed of five hundred strikes per second, pierce the enemy at the waist!
"Well, alright. The line of an occult mage really suits you."
Aron briefly commented.
Before this, he wondered whether Pietro could be of use to him after awakening his abilities.
But now…
Don't interfere with my peaceful life with your sister!
"This is Tony Stark's phone number and his home address."
"Go to him, and take your revenge."
Aron casually threw out to Quicksilver to go to Tony.
In fact, he knew that the chance of Pietro actually succeeding in revenge was almost none.
Nine out of ten times it would end with Tony, instead of being defeated, recruiting Quicksilver into the Avengers.
And while we're at it, one question was gnawing at Aron…
Has Tony Stark recently awakened yet another new idea or technology that almost always works?
That same Tony who had recently pulled Hercules into the Avengers.
And then, as if that wasn't enough, convinced Hercules's brother, Ares.
Tony was making the Avengers into an organization that grows like a network, pulling one after another, expanding and developing offline!
"Fine, when I finish my revenge, I will come back to you!"
Pietro, of course, had no idea of Aron's plans.
As soon as he heard the name Tony Stark, he nodded his head and accepted without question.
Wanda, after all this time spent with Aron, had in her heart let go of the old hatred.
But before she could stop her brother…
Quicksilver had already performed a teleportation spell combined with speed and vanished in an instant.
That's right!
He was now using his speedster powers to unleash magic.
Casting spells, which usually required movement and preparation, Pietro had reduced almost to zero.
The result was, instant magic!
Even a master like Wong would have a hard time achieving such a level of control.
"I did not expect him to have such potential."
Aron's voice had barely quieted when the Ancient One appeared in Kamar-Taj.
She was not alone. She had come accompanied by Squirrel Girl.
"It is not just Pietro in question."
"Among the group of children you rescued there is also a girl named Jenny. Her potential is also immeasurable."
"Wong has already taken her as his successor."
"Now Wong values this girl more than his own life."
The Ancient One spoke with a smile on her face.
Although she had stepped down from the position of Sorcerer Supreme, watching Kamar-Taj grow and develop, she could not hide her satisfaction.
"By the way… why did you bring her here?"
Aron then noticed Squirrel Girl.
And immediately a thought crossed his mind, could it be that even the Ancient One had sensed the power of that invincible little squirrel?
"Hm, no. Don't even think that."
The Ancient One immediately shook her head and then, in a more serious tone, continued:
"While you were running through dimensions and causing commotion, I had already discovered this girl's origin."
"She comes from… Universe 2813. From what is called the 'Funny Universe.'"
It was absurdity spoken calmly, without hesitation.
There, in that universe, Thanos is tied up and handed over to the police, and Doctor Doom is twice defeated and thrown to the ground by two squirrels. The invincible universe of squirrels.
"So… you plan to send her back?"
Aron looked at the little girl.
Honestly speaking, she was unbelievably cute.
Two front teeth, a smile from ear to ear.
As soon as she noticed Aron looking at her, she returned his smile.
And then, seizing the moment while the Ancient One was absorbed in speaking, she quickly raised her eyebrows and moved her lips:
"Help me! I don't want to go back!"
Squirrel Girl did not want to return to her original world.
Because she felt…
That world was simply boring.
And actually, it was not strange that she thought so.
The invincible often bear the greatest burden - loneliness.
"I tried.."
The Ancient One noticed the subtle movements of Squirrel Girl and gently shook her head.
"Right now, I cannot cast dark magic such as dreams. Consciousness can be projected into other parallel universes only through astral projection. As for this, whether I can teleport a living person… I can only try."
The dream she spoke of was the dark magic from the Book of Darkhold, the same one that appears in Doctor Strange 2, where Wanda uses dark energy to possess another version of herself in a parallel universe.
"Yes, Ancient One, where is the Book of the Dark God of our universe?" Aron's eyes lit up. Honestly, if not for the Ancient One's mention, he had almost forgotten that in Marvel there are two legendary books considered artifacts.
The Book of Vishanti, all white magic is recorded in it. That treasure is the counterpart to the Eye of Agamotto and one of the greatest treasures of Kamar-Taj. But for Aron, that book had no real value.
The other book, the one that interested him, was the Book of Darkhold, the collection of black magic.
"What exactly are you intending?" The Ancient One immediately grew serious. "I tell you, boy, discard those thoughts! You can summon demons from dimensions, trick them, or seize their power, that depends on you. But you do not understand the true danger of the Darkhold!"
Her tone was more serious than ever.
"Why?" Aron did not seem concerned. In his mind, behind the Darkhold there was Chthon, the god of dark magic. If he appeared, he could set him against the Vishanti and let them destroy each other.
"You still ask why? Do you still think our world is not chaotic enough? In that book there is magic that can cause catastrophes in the entire multiverse! If you are not afraid of invasion phenomena becoming more frequent and more violent, then by all means, seek it."
The Ancient One was right, but Aron did not care. His nature was such that he preferred to observe chaos and enjoy disorder rather than prevent it.
"By the way, great master, you mentioned that the universe of that squirrel is 2813? Then what is the number of our universe?"
That question gnawed at him. He himself felt nervous, because he did not know the answer.
"19999-FL."
The Ancient One pronounced the number that confused Aron.
The number 19999 did not surprise him, that is the well-known designation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But the suffix FL? That completely baffled him.
"So… from the start I was actually in a derivative of the cinematic universe?"
His thoughts swarmed. If this was just a parallel branch of the main universe, then many rules were looser.
"Well, that does make sense. In the true cinematic universe there are no characters like Skye from the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series. Therefore, this is a side line. Because of this I can freely change the timeline, and the TVA never appears."
Ahem! Yes, now it was all clearer to him.
"It is not that the TVA does not exist," added the Ancient One, "but rather that the Kang of our universe is dead."
Aron was startled. "What!? Ancient One, are you saying that you know Kang as well!?"
He seriously suspected that the Ancient One in front of him knew the entire Marvel scenario.
Kang the Conqueror, a traveler through time, master of endless timelines. Even the Infinity Stones to him were just toys in a drawer.
The Ancient One, of course, could, through the Time Stone, glimpse many destinies. But to claim that she knew Kang himself? Aron could not just believe that.
"I already told you, the water of this universe is deep." Her expression remained mysterious. "You have just stepped into Heavenly… Hm, how long have you already been at the Single Universe level?"
Aron just looked at her, this time more skeptical than ever.
