Chapter 301 Dark God Book

"It's over," John said coldly, his fists clenched, his eyes gleaming with determination.

However, Andre's face suddenly turned gloomy. He whispered, "It's not over yet."

At this moment, a strange black light emerged from Wanda's chest. The Dark Book, an ancient magic book that exudes an evil aura, slowly floated in front of Wanda's chest. She closed her eyes and her body gradually floated up. The three of them immediately watched this scene vigilantly, ready to respond to new threats at any time.

The power of the Dark Book began to flow into Wanda's body. Her body trembled slightly, as if she was bearing some powerful force. As the power was injected, her body gradually became more upright and her aura became stronger. Suddenly, Wanda opened her eyes abruptly, and a powerful aura burst out from her body, oppressing the three people present.

Wanda's lips curled up into an evil smile, and she gently kissed the Dark Book, as if absorbing its power. Then, she took the Dark Book back into her body, and her whole temperament changed dramatically in an instant.

At this moment, Wanda was wearing a black robe with complex dark red patterns embroidered on the edges, which seemed to be alive and moving. Her hair became dark and thick, emitting a dark red light, like a blood-red meteor in the night sky. Her eyes were cold and ruthless, and there was a hint of evil smile on the corner of her mouth. The high heels were unique in style, with slender heels like sharp blades, and black magic patterns wrapped around the uppers.

Wanda's figure floated in the air, like a dark queen descending on the earth. Her temperament and charm became more profound and dangerous, chilling. Her smile was full of arrogance and confidence, as if she was mocking the three people's inability to resist.

“Do you think this is the end?” Wanda’s voice was low and cold, carrying the curse power of the Dark Book. “My current strength is far beyond your imagination.”

Her eyes were fixed on the three of them, and the strong pressure made John, Andre and Steve feel extremely heavy. They knew that Wanda in front of them was no longer the Scarlet Witch before, but a magic queen who was completely corrupted by the dark power.

"Now, it's my turn to show you the real horror." Wanda whispered, and the red light in her hand flashed again, as if to swallow up the entire battlefield.

The three of them looked at Wanda floating in the air nervously, knowing that the next battle would be more difficult and dangerous. However, they did not retreat, with an unyielding light flashing in their eyes, ready to meet the coming storm.

......

In the mirrored space, the light refracted into strange colors, as if reality and illusion were intertwined into a blurred scene. Ancient One, the most powerful wizard in the world, stood in this wonderful space. He was tall, with silver-white hair, and his deep eyes revealed endless wisdom and calmness. His robe swayed gently in the breeze, looking both solemn and mysterious.

"You can change your hairstyle and clothes next time."

Nathan Hawke stood beside Ancient One, his hands in his pockets, his brows slightly furrowed. His eyes were fixed on Ancient One, and it was obvious that he had many unanswered questions in his mind.

"What do you think of this Scarlet Witch?" Ancient One asked softly, his voice flowing like a clear spring, with a hint of elusive mystery.

Nathan Hawke was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately. He looked up at the mirror space around him, then turned back and looked at Ancient One sharply, "Why is this world so easy for others to enter? Aren't you the guardian of the magic side?"

Ancient One showed a gentle smile, with a hint of an ageless mischievous look on his face, "This world is like a vast ocean, there are always unpredictable storms. Although we have a powerful protective force, there are always some forces that will find gaps and quietly enter."

Nathan Hawke narrowed his eyes slightly. "Didn't we solve the problem of the space crack last time? Why are there still so many problems?"

Ancient One nodded slightly, as if he had anticipated Nathan's question. "The operation of the world is not that simple. The cracks in space are like whirlpools in the long river of time. Even if one crack is repaired, a new crack may appear in another place."

There was a hint of mystery in his voice, as if he was stating an ancient truth. "Although magic is powerful, it also has its limitations. Our responsibility is not only to repair these cracks, but also to understand and control them."

Nathan Hawke frowned, obviously not completely satisfied with Ancient One's answer, "You mean, these invasions are unavoidable?"

Ancient One smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery in his eyes, "Every world has its own unique laws and balance. Invasion and defense, destruction and repair are all part of this balance. What we can do is to find our place in this ever-changing balance."

Nathan Hawke pondered for a moment, as if thinking about Ancient One's words. His eyes gradually became deep, as if he understood the mystery.

"Sometimes, true power does not lie in eliminating all threats, but in finding new order among these threats." Ancient One said calmly, with an indescribable power in his voice.

Nathan Hawke nodded. Although doubts still existed in his heart, he understood what Ancient One meant. Although this world was full of unknown challenges, it was these challenges that shaped its uniqueness and mystery.

Ancient One's smile was still gentle, and his eyes sparkled with wisdom. "Remember, Nathan, sometimes the answer to a problem lies not in finding it, but in understanding it."

Nathan Hawke took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "I understand, Ancient One." But in fact, he didn't understand at all, and there was a hint of doubt and challenge in his tone, "So?"

Ancient One showed a pleasantly surprised smile, with a sly look in his eyes, "So, we have to snatch the Dark Book."

Nathan Hawke was slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise and interest in his eyes, "Dark God Book? Are you serious?"

Gu Yi nodded, his expression becoming solemn. "The Dark Book, according to legend, contains countless powerful dark spells and forbidden knowledge. It is a powerful and dangerous artifact."

He slowly raised his hand, and the light in the mirror space changed as if responding to his thoughts. Ancient images emerged around them, showing the history and power of the Dark Book.

"The origin of this book can be traced back to ancient times. It was created by Xisong, the ancient and powerful evil god." The ancient one's voice was low and mysterious, as if he was telling a long-lost legend. "The book records all of Xisong's wisdom and power. It is his ultimate understanding of the 'world'."

Nathan Hawke looked at the emerging images with a mixture of awe and curiosity. "It sounds dangerous."

Ancient One smiled slightly, with a hint of complacency in his eyes, "Yes, it is indeed dangerous, but it is also full of infinite possibilities. The Dark Book is a thing of destiny, but that doesn't mean we can't obtain it. As long as we have enough wisdom and courage, we can control the power within it."

Wisdom and courage. Nathan Hawke looked at the serious Ancient One and inexplicably wanted to laugh out loud.

After calming down, Nathan Hawke raised his eyebrows, glanced at Ancient One, and said with a hint of teasing, "Master, don't you have the power of Dormammu? Do you still need the power of Sithon?"

Ancient One chuckled, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, "Dormammu's power is indeed strong, but Xithorn's wisdom and creativity are equally fascinating. I have always admired Xithorn and want to see what is written in the Dark Book he created."

The Ancient One's gaze was deep and calm, as if he was looking into Nathan Hawke's heart. "Sithoun is a very creative and intelligent being. His Dark Book is not just a spell book, but also his ultimate understanding of the world. If we master it, we will gain unprecedented power and wisdom."

"What kind of villainous statement is that?" Nathan Hawke blinked.

"Ahem." Gu Yi's face turned slightly red. "I've been watching too many oriental dramas recently."

Nathan Hawke was speechless for a moment, suspecting that Ancient One was watching a melodramatic ethics drama while making tea. But after thinking for a moment, he slowly nodded, "It sounds very challenging, but also full of temptation."

Ancient One showed a satisfied smile, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes, "That's right. Remember, Nathan, sometimes, true power does not lie in destruction, but in understanding and control."

Nathan Hawke looked at Ancient One, who looked like he wanted to instigate his own downfall, and said, "Okay, Ancient One, let's go grab the Dark Book."

......

When the three were about to confront Wanda, the sky was suddenly torn apart by a golden light, and Ancient One and Nathan Hawke slowly descended from it. Wanda's originally playful and charming face suddenly became silent, and then filled with anger. She stared at the two coldly, with murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

"Oh? Am I seeing right? Isn't this the Ancient One and Nathan Hawke?" Wanda said sarcastically, her tone full of disdain and anger, "You so-called guardians have finally shown up?"

Nathan Hawke nudged Ancient One with his arm, with a hint of teasing in his eyes. Ancient One smiled slightly, looked at Nathan Hawke, and then said with understanding: "Oh, this is the Scarlet Witch you mentioned to me that time, who saved her son."

Nathan Hawke nodded, but then added: "However, it seems that the son she saved was not from her world."

Ancient One continued calmly, as if telling an ordinary story: "The operation of parallel universes and the existence of variants are all part of the world. Every choice will produce countless different results."

There was a profound philosophy in his words, and he paid no attention to the hostile and angry looks around him.

Nathan Hawke waved his hand, signaling Andre and John Walker to leave with the confused Captain America, "Leave the things here to us, you go protect the others."

Andre and John Walker looked at each other. Although they were full of doubts, they still followed their boss's instructions and quickly left the scene with Steve Rogers.

Wanda looked at Ancient One and Nathan Hawke, who didn't take her seriously at all, with an unhappy look on her face, and the anger in her eyes became more and more intense. Her hands flashed red, and the evil power of the Dark Book began to surge in her body. Chaos magic and dark magic intertwined, forming a powerful killing force.

"Do you think you can defeat me so easily like this?" Wanda cursed in a low voice, with endless hatred in her voice, "I will let you know what true power is!"

She swung her hands violently, and a powerful energy wave hit Ancient One and Nathan Hawke. The two reacted quickly, and Ancient One crossed his hands and summoned a golden magic barrier to block Wanda's attack. The energy wave exploded on the barrier, making a deafening roar and sparks flying.

Nathan Hawke looked at Wanda coldly, without a trace of fear in his eyes, "You may be strong, but you don't know how to control your own strength. The Darkhold will devour your sanity and make you its slave."

Wanda's expression became even more ferocious, with a crazy light flashing in her eyes, "Shut up! I don't need your teachings!"
