However, when he opened the door, Henry could see nothing but a brick wall—the original wall behind the doorframe, at most stripped of its surface putty.
Even under Super Vision, there was nothing strange about the wall. Henry reached out and touched it. It was solid, not an illusion.
"Well, this is an unfunny joke. You stuck a doorframe on a wall to fool people. Am I supposed to look shocked?"
But while the Kryptonian was still hesitating over whether to play along and pretend to be surprised, the Scarlet Witch had already put on an exaggeratedly astonished expression, her eyes wide as saucers.
Wanda also walked up to the wall with the doorframe and poked it with a finger. It was indeed mud brick. "How is this possible? Did my magic go wrong?" She closed the door and opened it again, and the scene beyond changed once more. It was a world of death filled with volcanoes, lava, and smoke, with lightning occasionally streaking across the sky. It looked like the hell most people imagined, except there were no demons.
Yet the most interesting part was that Henry's eyes could detect no trace of magic, nor did it resemble a technologically created wormhole. It was as if, once the door opened, the place before him was simply there.
Moreover, his superpowers of vision could not make out any details of the world beyond the door. It was like the time when his eyes had been injured and he could not use any abilities at all—he could only see what an ordinary person saw.
That gave Henry a possibility: the mysterious protective barrier established by Kamar-Taj to protect the Earth Dimension had blocked his visual abilities. He was merely looking through a "window" at the scene on the other side.
