"Pepper, what are you doing here?"
Looking at Pepper standing at the top of the second-floor stairs, Tony's eyelids began twitching violently, and the expression on his face completely froze.
"I came to talk to you about the company, but you were not here, so I just..."
Pepper stammered, her voice becoming quieter and quieter, while her face grew paler and paler.
"God... what did I just see?"
Her boss, Tony Stark, had suddenly grown angel wings... and flown.
Was this man's true identity actually an angel who had descended to Earth?
The scene was so shocking that Pepper was completely speechless when she saw it. She stood at the top of the stairs and could not say a single word.
It was precisely because of this that she also saw the next, even more terrifying scene.
Tony had somehow taken control of Obadiah and even ordered him to commit suicide!
What angel?
Was this not a demon?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened Pepper became. Her entire body trembled, her legs went weak, and she looked as though she might collapse onto the stairs at any moment.
Looking at the pitiful and terrified Pepper before him, Tony felt bitterness in his mouth and for a while did not know what to say.
He had gotten himself into trouble.
Where was he even supposed to begin explaining all of this?
At the same time, in Sokovia.
A military jeep was moving down a street toward a certain location.
Inside the jeep, several people in black suits were checking the information again.
"The target is Wanda Maximoff!"
"Her twin brother, Pietro Maximoff, has already been captured at school by Team Two and is currently being transported toward the main base."
"Now it is our turn..."
"Hail HYDRA!"
"Ah... I am finally back home."
After leaving the live broadcast room, little Wanda looked at the familiar bedroom before her and could not resist breathing a sigh of relief.
Then she looked at the mirror on the table and touched her long white hair.
"That Pietro... I wonder if he will comment on my hair again today."
Because of the Otsutsuki bloodline she had obtained during the previous live broadcast, all of Wanda's hair had turned completely white, and even her eyes had become white.
Yesterday, when Wanda's adoptive parents and her brother Pietro saw her new appearance, all of them were stunned.
After their biological parents died in the civil war, Wanda and Pietro lived with relatives.
Although they were not wealthy, at least there had been no major wars during the last few years and they could live relatively peacefully.
While little Wanda was still looking at herself in the mirror, she suddenly heard the door opening.
"Hm? Has Pietro returned?"
Wanda looked toward the door in confusion.
After a short while, someone suddenly kicked the door to her room open with great force.
Immediately afterward, several men in black suits, armed with pistols, rushed into her bedroom.
"Target confirmed. Hm? Why does she look different from the photograph?"
Looking at the white-haired Wanda, the man in black frowned and abruptly pointed his pistol at her.
"Little girl, are you Wanda Maximoff? Tell the truth!"
Looking at the black barrel of the gun pointed at her, Wanda's heart tightened violently, and she instantly remembered the scene in which her parents had died during the war.
At that moment, the fear in her heart instantly turned into anger.
"You... you really want to kill me!"
Under the influence of extreme fear and anger, Wanda opened her eyes wide.
Her completely white eyes began emitting a bluish glow, while nebula-like vortices appeared around her pupils!
It was the Tenseigan!
The moment Wanda's Tenseigan fully awakened, an unimaginable repulsive force erupted from her body, mixed with a monstrous wave of air that violently exploded in every direction!
Boom!
The terrifying repulsive force transformed into a shockwave visible to the naked eye, spreading outward in rings around her, and the entire house was destroyed in an instant!
A deafening explosion echoed in every direction. Pieces of the building scattered everywhere, and among them were even human bodies!
"Aaaah!!!"
The HYDRA agents who had rushed inside were blown away by the terrifying storm and waves of air. Some died, while others were seriously injured.
They had thought there was only one little girl inside the house.
"Help... help me!"
One HYDRA agent, completely covered in blood, lay on the ground with half his body buried beneath the rubble and desperately called for help.
But his eyes soon widened in fear.
At a height of more than ten meters, a white-haired little girl floated in the air as though she were standing on invisible steps.
But her eyes were filled with rage and killing intent.
"Demon! You are not human! You are a demon!"
Looking at the incredible scene before him, the HYDRA agent was so terrified that his scalp went numb and he could barely speak properly.
At that moment, little Wanda extended her hand.
A strange gravitational force pulled the agent out of the rubble, lifted him into the air, and dragged him toward her!
"Speak! Who are you? Why did you come to kill me?"
After the Tenseigan completely awakened, it seemed that even Wanda's personality had changed somewhat.
With her small hand, she grabbed the man in black by the collar, while powerful gravitational and repulsive forces acted against one another and held him motionless in the air before her.
"No! We did not come to kill you!"
Under the cold gaze of her Tenseigan, the man in black, who was already seriously injured, became even more terrified!
But he was still a HYDRA agent, so he continued doing his utmost to speak and tried to threaten Wanda.
"We came to capture you. Your brother has already fallen into our hands. If you are obedient, we will not—"
The moment the other side mentioned her brother, the anger in Wanda's eyes instantly transformed into genuine killing intent.
She shouted:
"My brother! Where did you take Pietro? Speak!"
Several minutes later.
"Boom!"
With a powerful explosion, little Wanda's body shot toward the sky like a rocket and flew at high speed straight in a certain direction!
The Tenseigan could control gravity and repulsive force.
In Naruto, Toneri Otsutsuki's Tenseigan could even control the Moon and direct it toward Earth after the Giant Tenseigan had been destroyed!
From this, the power of these eyes could be seen.
Wanda had only just awakened the Tenseigan, and of course her strength still could not be compared with Toneri Otsutsuki.
However, under the influence of extreme anger, the power of her eyes was still growing at a terrifying speed...
Not long after little Wanda flew into the sky, a HYDRA agent covered in blood suddenly crawled out from the ruins of the house.
With a trembling hand, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Baron! That girl is a monster! She is coming! She is coming here!!"
An old castle in the mountains of Sokovia.
This was the base of HYDRA's Baron Wolfgang von Strucker.
Although the order to kidnap Wanda and Pietro had been issued by Pierce, Strucker was responsible for carrying it out.
"What? Monster?"
After receiving this somewhat incomprehensible call, Baron Strucker wanted to ask several more questions, but the voice on the other side of the phone suddenly went silent and he could no longer hear anything.
"One of my operational teams was completely destroyed? Who is the opponent?"
"That girl is a monster? Who does he mean? The girl named Wanda?"
Baron Strucker frowned slightly, thought for several moments, then called the phone of the other operational team.
"Did the capture succeed? Good, excellent. Bring the boy to the base as quickly as possible."
After confirming the situation, Baron Strucker was preparing to end the call, but at that moment panicked shouts suddenly came from the receiver.
"God! We are flying! How? How is this possible?!"
"Help! Someone help us!"
Hearing the terrified shouts from the phone, Baron Strucker's pupils suddenly contracted, and the expression on his face immediately changed.
Had that monster really found them?
How so quickly?
"Damn it! Do not underestimate HYDRA!"
Baron Strucker gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted an order:
"Air unit, move out immediately! Target the GPS coordinates of Team Two!"
"I want to see who dares to oppose HYDRA!"
"Help!"
"Put us down..."
Amid a series of panicked shouts and screams, little Wanda's gravitational force lifted the black military jeep from the ground straight into the sky.
Based on the confession of the man in black, along with a bit of luck, it did not take her long to find the vehicle.
After all, on a mountain road like this leading deep into the mountains, such a high-end military jeep was a very rare sight.
Controlling gravity, little Wanda opened the door, pulled her brother Pietro out of the vehicle, then transformed the gravitational force into repulsion and hurled the entire jeep far away.
"Wanda? Is that really you?"
Looking at his sister, who was both familiar and completely unfamiliar to him, floating before him, Pietro opened his mouth wide and was briefly completely speechless.
"Pietro, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Using gravitational control, Wanda descended to the ground together with her brother. First she checked Pietro, then took two things out of her clothes.
One was the mobile phone she had taken from the HYDRA agent.
The other was the business card Tony had given her.
After several seconds of hesitation, Wanda looked at Pietro and finally called the number on the card.
"Hey, Wanda? Is that you? What did you say?"
Tony had just spent a great deal of time and words finally calming Pepper down, only to immediately receive such a confusing call.
"You are saying someone is trying to kidnap you and your brother? Ah, I understand."
Tony turned around and was just about to give J.A.R.V.I.S. an order when he suddenly became aware of something.
"Wait. The Void Engine is so powerful. Can it be used for this too?"
"Void Engine, calculate where this phone call is coming from."
[Command received. Calculation begins. Target locked.]
[Target coordinates are located in Sokovia.]
"Wow! That was a little too fast."
The Void Engine gave the answer in less than one second, which even shocked Tony himself.
He lightly swallowed and said into the phone:
"Wanda, I have located your phone signal. I will arrive by plane soon. Just stay there."
After learning that his company's weapons had killed that little girl's parents, Tony had developed a firm conviction in his heart.
He had to take responsibility for this child!
Hearing Tony's decisive reply, Wanda finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, a loud "bzzzz" suddenly sounded from the distance.
Pietro turned his head, and his eyes widened.
"How is this possible? Those are people flying through the sky?"
Wanda had only just turned her head when a burst of "da-da-da" echoed from the air, and a stream of bullets shot toward them.
People wearing strange flying devices and holding automatic weapons were flying through the sky and shooting at them!
"Damn it! These people really want to kill us!"
Faced with enemies who would not stop chasing and attacking them, killing intent flashed in little Wanda's eyes again!
Wanda's body quickly rose into the air.
She raised her right hand, and several pale blue spheres of light appeared around her palm.
Immediately afterward, those pale blue spheres began spinning frantically around her palm, creating a powerful storm around her arm that quickly transformed into a roaring tornado.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Wanda extended her right hand, and the terrifying storm instantly erupted.
Mixed with faint purple lightning and terrifying pressure, the tornado rushed toward the group of flying soldiers in the distance.
"God! What is that?"
"Run! It is a natural disaster! Run!"
Faced with the terrifying tornado approaching them, HYDRA's flying soldiers almost fainted from fear and desperately tried to control their flying devices to escape.
But how could their speed compare with a tornado?
In less than one second, the terrifying tornado roared across them and completely swallowed HYDRA's entire "air unit."
"Wanda... what are you..."
Seeing his younger sister summon a terrifying tornado in an instant, Pietro was so frightened that cold sweat covered him, and for a while he could not recover.
Wanda, who had previously only caused trouble and played pranks, had now become so powerful.
Glancing toward the direction from which the flying soldiers had come, little Wanda gritted her teeth and suddenly handed the phone to her brother.
"Pietro, quickly find a cave or some other place where you can hide. Do not lose the phone. Someone will come for you soon."
"What?"
Before Pietro could react, Wanda directly shoved the phone into his hand, then flew into the air like a sharp arrow and disappeared in an instant.
If she continued staying here and fighting the enemies, Pietro could be injured in the chaos.
In order to ensure his safety, the only way was to attack first and move the battlefield directly into the enemy's nest!
Baron Strucker's castle.
"What? The air unit was completely destroyed too? What kind of joke is this?!"
Hearing the report from the field, Baron Strucker's face suddenly changed, and an expression of complete disbelief appeared in his eyes.
Those air units used advanced technology left behind by Red Skull.
How could they have been destroyed so easily?
Was the opponent truly a monster?
Just as Baron Strucker stood there stunned, shouts from HYDRA soldiers suddenly sounded around him.
"Baron! An unknown object is moving toward us at incredible speed!"
"The speed is enormous! It has already exceeded the speed of sound!"
"What?"
Baron Strucker asked in shock:
"Is it a fighter jet?"
The soldier sitting in front of the radar swallowed and answered in astonishment:
"No... judging by the size of the signal, it may be a person."
"What?"
Hearing that answer, almost all the HYDRA soldiers in the command room were completely stunned.
A person?
How could a person fly through the sky at supersonic speed?
At that moment, Wanda had rushed the entire way toward the direction from which the flying units had arrived and soon appeared in the sky above Strucker's castle.
Seeing one flying unit after another emerging from the castle, a cold light flashed in Wanda's eyes, and she decisively nodded.
"This is it. The enemy's main base!"
Looking at the seemingly sturdy castle below her, little Wanda frowned.
Pale blue energy began erupting from her body and wrapped her entire figure in a bluish glow!
At that moment, it looked as though little Wanda's entire body was surrounded by pale blue flames, while unimaginable pressure and energy burst from her.
Immediately afterward, she extended her right hand, and several pale blue spheres of light appeared in her palm.
Those spheres began spinning, then suddenly merged into one and transformed into an enormous golden sword of light that pierced through the clouds and mist and stretched straight toward the sky!
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Wanda held the enormous golden sword of light in her small hand, aimed it toward the ancient castle, and swung it powerfully downward!
"Boom!"
Blinding light pierced through the sky.
It was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at it, and even the sun in the sky seemed pale beside it!
With an earth-shaking roar that shook the ground, Baron Strucker's castle was violently cut in half by the golden sword of light in Wanda's hands.
Moreover, the unimaginably long golden sword continued extending farther and completely split the earth apart!
