Master~

Until one day, a group of people calling themselves TVA suddenly appeared in front of her.

They solemnly told Wanda that her actions had seriously disrupted the Timeline and that she must be destroyed.

But by then, Wanda had already absorbed the power of hundreds of others, and her strength was no longer what it used to be.

They were killed in an instant, leaving not even ashes.

Wanda paid no attention to these people who appeared suddenly and disappeared quickly; all she cared about was the endless journey through time.

She continued her journey to find other worlds, but unknowingly, she seemed to gradually forget her original intention, her heart filled with a thirst for power.

In this world, she saw another version of herself, who hadn't even awakened her abilities and was too weak. She originally wanted to skip this world.

Until a man appeared and caught her attention.

This man is full of contradictions and mystery.

Despite possessing immense power capable of overturning the world, the most ruthless thing he ever did was break the legs of all the gangsters.

Despite being an awe-inspiring figure, he liked to act like a mischievous child, scaring the ordinary Wanda and making her cry.

His favorite thing to do every day is to snuggle up with a group of women and act like a child, but in front of outsiders, he presents himself as a majestic demon king.

However, he is very kind to his other self, resurrecting her parents, taking care of Quicksilver, teaching her magic, and bringing her gifts every time he returns.

The women around her didn't ostracize her; they treated her like a younger sister, taking her out to play and buy her clothes.

Because of this man's existence, even if that ordinary woman openly used her power in public, she wouldn't arouse people's fear; on the contrary, she would only be met with admiration and respect.

Wanda was deeply attracted to this kind of life, so she stopped traveling around the world and chose to stay in this Mutants universe.

From then on, the thing she did most every day was to watch the life of her other self and that mysterious man.

She watched as Wanda, under the protection of a man, lived happily every day.

He gets up on time to study every day, goes out with family and friends during holidays, and occasionally teaches Quicksilver a lesson.

This ordinary yet heartwarming life, though seemingly mundane, was observed by Wanda with utmost seriousness, as if she were searching for a happiness she had never possessed through another version of herself.

Until an unexpected confession.

At that moment, she came to her senses and realized clearly that she was no longer the person who was being cared for.

Two completely different emotions welled up in her heart.

On one hand, it's envy of the other Wanda, envying that she can be loved and cared for so wholeheartedly.

On the other hand, there was a deep sense of jealousy, jealousy of why fate was so unfair, making him suffer so much.

A terrible thought quietly took root in her mind: kill her, take her place, and have him!

Once the idea took hold, it spread like wildfire, driving Wanda to embark on another time-traveling journey.

But as soon as she arrived in that world, she encountered a mysterious woman.

The woman touched her lightly, Wanda was seriously injured.

The power of the hundreds of versions of herself that she had absorbed was completely ineffective against this woman, like air, and she was instantly thrown back into her original world.

That wasn't the worst part. During her recovery, this Timeline was cut by TVA, and her origin was found to be closely connected to this world.

She could no longer leave this world; she could only quietly await death while watching her other self live a happy life.

Until one day, Wanda sensed that someone was about to arrive in the future.

Thinking that the mysterious man might be interested in this world, she sent the consciousness of the person from the future to another world.

Sure enough, he came, albeit only as a consciousness.

But Wanda was already satisfied.

She was filled with hope, wanting the man to stay here, to receive his care, and to experience the life that another version of herself had.

However, until the very last moment of his life, the man did not even spare her a glance.

Wanda finally understood that this man would never belong to her.

A deep sense of resentment lingered in her heart.

"So you want to replace me?"

In the dream, Wanda slowly opened her eyes, her gaze calmly fixed on the powerful Scarlet Witch before her.

Based on his previous memories, the Scarlet Witch before him completely overwhelmed him in terms of both power and experience.

"I'm already dead; I'm not even conscious anymore."

The Scarlet Witch smiled bitterly; at this point, she was nothing but an obsession.

"So what do you want to do?"

Wanda was somewhat puzzled.

"I have a gift for you."

As the Scarlet Witch spoke, a shimmering point of light slowly appeared in her hand. The point of light floated gently between the two of them, emitting a faint yet mysterious glow.

"This is the essence I have left. Although it's not much, it can allow your Chaos Magic to surpass your Master's without any side effects."

This way, we can be considered as one. As long as my power remains within your body, will Master also like me?

The Scarlet Witch wore an expression of longing.

Wanda didn't hesitate much, grabbing the point of light in front of her and starting to absorb it. Why wouldn't she take power that was being given away for free?

The Scarlet Witch was slightly taken aback upon seeing this.

"You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I might do something underhanded?"

Wanda shook her head.

"I would never trust a madman."

I just believe in my Master. Even if you replace me, my Master will come to save me.

After speaking, Wanda began absorbing the power and her experience.

After losing her powers, Scarlet Witch's lingering obsession began to dissipate. She looked quietly at Wanda and slowly spoke.

"I'm so envious..."

Why wasn't it me who met him...?

I'm so jealous...

Why..."

The sound grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely, leaving only Wanda continuing to absorb the power.

I don't know how much time passed.

Wanda awoke in reality, the morning sunlight casting a white streak through the gap in the curtains.

Wanda got out of bed, drew back the curtains, looked out at the garden, and stretched.

I changed my clothes and went downstairs.

Kino was also there, sitting at the table eating.

"Wanda, I woke up a little late today. Did anyone around you stay up late?"

"Kino asked."

"Hmm, I finished my homework a little late."

Wanda shook her head and sat down opposite Kino.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's okay to hand in those assignments a little late."

"Understood, Master ~"

Kino shuddered at Wanda's call of "Master."

He looked at Wanda with a glint of starlight in his eyes.

There was nothing unusual about his soul.

"Wanda, why are you calling me in such a strange voice?"

"I watched a TV series the other day, and the actors shouted 'Master' like that, so I tried it out. Don't you like it?"

Wanda blinked, asking with a puzzled look, but a barely perceptible smile flashed in her eyes.

"Um... let's keep it normal, don't try to learn everything."

Kino said helplessly, but he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, though he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

It's probably because the Scarlet Witch left such a deep impression on him.

Okay~

Wanda's lips curled up slightly, and her smile deepened.

"Waaah..."

The next second, Wanda covered her head with tears in her eyes.

"I've told you to be normal."

"Understood, Master."
