Chapter 400: Wanda, the Cancer Patient, Remains Sober Alone!
Chapter 400: Wanda, the Cancer Patient, Remains Sober Alone!
Toby appeared in space, pointing his Black Death Sword at the space debris.
The next moment, countless fleshy tentacles burst forth from the Black Death Sword, piercing through the cancerous heroes frozen into ice blocks, dragging them to Toby's side, and devouring their souls and flesh!
The quality of these cancerous heroes that were devoured this time was far superior to the remaining grotesque figures on Earth and the alien grunts in the Void.
For example, cancerous Hulk, cancerous Ronan, cancerous Magneto, and cancerous Professor X are all high-level nourishment for the Black Death Sword!
Ok?
Wait a minute, why does it seem like one of the most nourishing ingredients is missing from all these nutrients?
A cold glint flashed in Toby's eyes, and a powerful soul fluctuation erupted from him, sweeping across this area of the starry sky!
"Hmph! Found you!"
Toby snorted and vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was not far from the Temple Mothership No. 2, which he had just cut in two with a single sword strike.
As soon as it appeared, Toby's left hand, adorned with the Infinity Six Rings, thrust towards the sword in the void!
*Pfft*
Even though there was nothing where Toby stabbed with his hand, a burst of blood appeared out of nowhere in the vacuum.
Click—
Toby clenched his fists and pulled hard, forcibly dragging a crimson figure out of the void!
"Who do we have here? It's you, you corrupt little witch!"
Toby plunged his entire left palm into Wanda's cancerous abdomen, grabbing her spine from the inside and lifting her high up.
Feeling the large hand tightening around his spine, Cancerous Wang quickly cried out, "Cough! Don't... don't do it yet, I'm not completely corrupted..."
Seeing Wanda coughing up blood and begging for mercy, Toby stopped his hand that was about to break her spine.
"Oh? I don't believe you, let me check~"
Toby raised an eyebrow and channeled his soul power deep into Wanda's soul.
Wanda's physical body, like that of other cancerous heroes in this universe, has been completely corrupted.
But her soul is indeed different from those cancer-infected heroes who have been completely twisted. It still retains Wanda's original human form, instead of being twisted into something neither human nor ghost like other cancer-infected heroes.
The key to Wanda's ability to maintain her human state to this day lies in the thin layer of chaotic power covering her soul.
But it seems that this thin layer of chaotic power will not last long under the constant erosion of that twisted, indescribable power.
Once the power of chaos is completely exhausted, Wanda will probably turn into the same twisted, inhuman state as everyone else.
But at least... she's still a 'person' now.
Pfft——————
Toby released his grip, pulling his hand out of Wanda's abdomen without crushing her spine.
"Your mastery of chaotic power is quite good; you've managed to resist the corruption of the Great Old Ones for so long."
"Cough cough, it's only temporary, but I probably won't be able to hold on much longer..." Wanda wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. The wound in her abdomen, pierced by Toby's hand, was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But when Wanda looked at her perfectly healed, flat abdomen without even a scar, she felt no joy. Instead, her eyes were filled with a deep-seated hatred.
She whispered:
"In this twisted world, maintaining humanity's clarity is far more despairing than becoming a twisted slave..."
"Can you understand what it feels like to watch your own body rot away, inch by inch, into that disgusting, decaying flesh?"
"Can you understand how everyone you know can turn into those indescribable monsters?"
"Can you understand that nauseating, instinctive feeling of repulsion when you're surrounded by a group of twisted monsters and have to pretend you're one of them at all times?"
"I've tried to self-destruct countless times, but even the power of chaos can't do it. A destroyed body would be reassembled by a mysterious, twisting force, and the self-destruction of my soul is out of the question. If the power of chaos even leaks through the slightest crack, that corrupting force will crawl all over my soul like maggots in an instant, making it impossible for me to even commit suicide!"
"I've had enough! I've really had enough!!!"
Looking at Wanda, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, Toby simply reached out and gently stroked her red hair, which no longer resembled hair but rather strands of living, thin snakes, his tone indifferent:
"So what's the reason that has kept you going until now?"
Wanda looked up at Toby, her face filled with stubbornness and hatred: "Revenge!"
"I'm waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for revenge, an opportunity to kill the 'god' who brought distortion to this world!"
"Therefore, I have been infiltrating their ranks, gaining their trust, and constantly gathering information about the intruders, trying to find a way to end it all!"
Toby's tone softened a little: "So, you found it?"
To To Toby's surprise, Wanda nodded emphatically: "Found it!"
"I've found something that could end all of this!"
"But with my current strength, I can't go that far anymore. Besides, to prevent my soul from being corrupted, my chaotic energy is being consumed every day, and my strength is weakening every day..."
"But there's always a way out. You've come, and your strength surpasses that of everyone I know!"
"So...please, please, help me end this world!"
Faced with Wanda's almost pleading tone, Toby's eyes lit up: "You really found a way to end this twisted, immortal universe?"
"Really? Even I'm not confident I can end all this. At most, I can complete the mission I came here for: to kill Galactus and all the twisted powerhouses in this world!"
"What method did you find?"
After all, Toby hasn't truly reached the multiverse level yet, so he can't truly destroy the entire universe.
Only the Infinity Stones in his possession could barely reach the pseudo-multidimensional level of power.
Moreover, Toby estimated that even with the Infinity Stones, he might not be able to truly destroy this distorted universe.
He remembered that there was a timeline shredder in TVA, and if this timeline could be easily erased, Loki wouldn't have needed his help.
Therefore, Toby doesn't plan to try using the Infinity Stones, which he already overused in the battle against Dormammu.
To avoid a situation like Professor X trying to read his mind only to have his head explode from the backlash, just as his Infinity Stones were also destroyed by the backlash!
That would be a losing proposition!
Now that Wanda claims to have found a solution, he might as well give it a listen.
Wanda organized her thoughts for a moment, then uttered the first name: "Thanos!"
