In the manor courtyard, Peter was snuggling with Wanda.
Beside Wanda, a fluffy Corgi was circling her while holding a frisbee in its mouth.
The little Corgi was named Bruce. Well, one could tell it was Peter's handiwork just by hearing the tacky name.
Bruce was originally a pet bought by Wanda's brother, Pietro, to keep him company when he first arrived in the United States.
But later, as Quicksilver was quickly led astray by those two playboys, Harry and Strange, he spent less and less time taking care of the little Corgi, and eventually just dumped the dog on his sister Wanda to raise.
Wanda, now nourished by the overflowing love she received here with Peter, was no longer the gloomy and withdrawn person she had been back in Eastern Europe.
Thus, she voluntarily took on the task of caring for the little Corgi. The little guy naturally became a member of Parker Manor, doted on in turns every day by Wanda and the overflowing curiosity of Mantis.
It was living quite the cozy life.
Just as Wanda threw the frisbee again and Bruce was wiggling his heart-shaped sexy butt, sprinting towards the frisbee with his four short legs...
A sudden warning from Peter's Observation Haki flashed in his mind.
He frowned slightly and, without a second thought, extended his right hand towards Bruce.
"Universal Pull!"
In the blink of an eye, Bruce and the frisbee were sucked into Peter's hand.
The silly dog, Bruce, thought this was some fun new game and was barking excitedly, but a spatial rift suddenly opened where it had been standing.
A Black girl with a single ponytail stepped out of the rift, followed by several thick, suction-cup-covered octopus tentacles.
The next second, a one-eyed octopus monster resembling Vel'Koz from League of Legends crawled out of the spatial rift.
"Hey! Run!"
The girl shouted at Peter and Wanda the moment she landed.
Her voice attracted the big-eyed monster behind her. The monster's tentacles extended, and three of them lunged towards the Black girl, Wanda, and Peter respectively.
The Black girl, wrapped by the tentacles, screamed wildly, but Peter and Wanda were incredibly calm about the situation.
"You want to do it, or should I?" Peter asked, mouth muffled as he bit into the cherry Wanda held to his lips.
"I'll do it. I haven't moved my body in a while." As she spoke, Wanda waved her hand, and crimson Chaos Magic instantly took effect on the little Corgi, Bruce.
Influenced by the Chaos Magic, Bruce's form began to expand crazily, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed from a less-than-half-meter-long puppy into a Hellhound exuding an ominous aura.
Well... the legs were still disappointingly short.
"Roar~!"
The Hellhound version of Bruce let out a roar, pounced on the big-eyed monster, and unleashed a classic big dog bite.
Under the force of claws and fangs, the monster's big eyeball was instantly popped, and dark green fluid splattered everywhere.
The Black girl, suspended in mid-air by the tentacles, got it all over her head and face, leaving her completely stunned.
Before long, the big-eyed monster lost its life, and Bruce, having completed the mission, returned to his goofy Corgi form.
"Way to go, Bruce~!"
Peter rubbed Bruce's head, taking the opportunity to use the Horse Talisman to remove the rather disgusting slime from Bruce's body.
After picking up Bruce, he kicked the tentacles on the ground and frowned involuntarily as he looked at the purple flesh exposed at the cross-section:
"I was thinking these big tentacles could be used for charcoal-grilled squid, but now it seems this thing doesn't have any value as an ingredient."
Hearing this, Wanda pondered for a moment, then suddenly snapped her fingers the next second.
Following her action, the corpse of the big-eyed monster instantly transformed into a real, large octopus.
She looked at Peter with a smile, her face full of an innocent, "Praise me, quick!" expression:
"Now there's no problem~! Let's have charcoal-grilled squid tonight! The kind you cook yourself!"
Peter lovingly reached out and gently flicked her high-bridged nose:
"Alright, whatever you say. Since it's such a big thing, let's just call Felicia and the others back for dinner tonight."
"Should we call Uncle Ben and Aunt May too? It's been a while since we've eaten with them."
"Good idea!"
Watching the happy "young couple" talking to themselves over there, the girl wore a standard "confused Black person" expression.
"Hello?"
"Look at me?"
"Am I invisible or something?"
"Why, when I brought such a huge monster, did you neither curse nor nervously demand to know where this monster came from?"
"Director, is this script right?"
The most correct person... er, dog, in the whole scene was Bruce, who was held in Peter's arms.
It barked twice at the girl and bared its white teeth.
The girl was startled and began to let out piercing screams again, fearing that Bruce would turn back into a Hellhound and take a bite out of her in the next second.
As she screamed, the high-decibel noise suddenly disappeared.
The girl's eyes widened, and she subconsciously touched her mouth, only to find that her mouth had actually disappeared.
"The exit is over there. You can leave."
Wanda thoughtfully pointed towards the direction of the gate:
"Parker Manor doesn't like loud guests."
As she spoke, she snapped her fingers, and the Black girl's mouth returned to normal.
The shaken girl touched her mouth and looked at Wanda's face. A moment later, she suddenly became agitated.
She couldn't help but rush forward and speak rapidly:
"You're Wanda, right? You two, my name is America! I'm in big trouble now... er, to be precise, you two are in big trouble!"
Wanda frowned and was raising her hand to shoo her away, but the next second, she heard America pointing at her and saying:
"The Wanda from a parallel Universe is looking for you. To find you, she has been hunting me down. It won't be long before she finds this place!"
Hearing this, Wanda couldn't help but pause.
Normally, it would be hard for a person to accept the concept of a parallel-Universe self, but Wanda had, after all, experienced the Ultron invasion and had seen with her own eyes the feat of Peter traveling through parallel Universes at will.
Therefore, she had no doubts about the concept of parallel Universes.
She froze for a moment, her eyes subconsciously looking towards Peter.
Peter was also a bit stunned at this moment. It wasn't that he didn't believe America's words, but that he recalled this plotline.
Wasn't this the plot of Doctor Strange 2?
It was just that the plot of Wanda going to a parallel Universe to find her children seemed to have turned into seeing his and Wanda's happy life?
Just as he was thinking this, the space behind them changed again. A huge spatial portal opened, and amidst America's repeated exclamations of "This is impossible," figures began to walk out from it.
Looking at the figures that seemed familiar yet different walking out of the portal, Peter couldn't help but smile.
"So, is today's script Illuminati vs. Avengers?"
