Can Robots Have Children?

Early morning

Qin Yi was awakened when little Morgan plopped her butt onto his stomach. Startled awake from his sleep, he scooped the little one into his arms with one hand.

The two played around for a while.

Lying in Qin Yi's arms, little Morgan asked curiously,

"Uncle, didn't you sleep with Sister Wanda?"

Qin Yi rubbed the little one's head, looking utterly helpless.

"Morgan, who did you learn all this from?"

After sending little Morgan back to Howard Estate,

At their new home in Mokong Tower,

Qin Yi casually opened a new interdimensional portal, preparing to take a look at that unknown universe and deal with the potential threat posed by that somewhat evil Scarlet Witch while he was at it.

Qin Yi did not want the little Wanda of this universe to become like her.

Though Wanda with that queenly aura did look quite tempting.

Still, as a traditional Eastern man, Qin Yi preferred the gentle little Wanda she was now.

He turned back and reassured the worried Wanda.

"I'll be back soon. If anything happens, go back to Kamar-Taj and find Master Yao."

Under little Wanda's reluctant gaze, Qin Yi stepped inside and vanished along with the interdimensional portal.

An unknown-numbered universe.

Wundagore Mountain.

A world blanketed in ice and snow.

At the mountaintop, two sorcerers in Kamar-Taj robes were locked in combat with a scarlet-clad witch.

Wong, the badly wounded Sorcerer Supreme.

Stephen, Doctor Strange from a shattered universe, had dreamwalked and forced his consciousness into a corpse that had been dead for a long time—a Stephen corpse from another universe.

After Dreamwalking Doctor Strange used the spirits of the dead to suppress the Scarlet Witch,

With the Sorcerer Supreme Wong's assistance, he temporarily trapped the Scarlet Witch within a golden magical cage.

America, a girl capable of traveling through the Multiverse, had been captured by Wanda and bound to a raised platform within the temple atop the mountain.

After glancing back at Wong, who was continuously pouring magic into the cage to reinforce it,

Stephen hurriedly flew to the platform and freed America from her restraints.

In that brief moment,

The Scarlet Witch broke free from the cage. She was clearly furious at the two people who had kept getting in her way.

The witch casually fired off a spell, flinging the Sorcerer Supreme Wong away.

Just then,

An interdimensional portal suddenly appeared in midair. As Qin Yi stepped out, he saw a plump figure about to fall off the cliff.

Qin Yi hurriedly cast golden magical ropes and pulled Wong back from the brink.

The Scarlet Witch, still in the midst of battle, saw Qin Yi and assumed he was reinforcements from Kamar-Taj.

Without another word, scarlet energy engulfed Qin Yi as well.

Having escaped danger, the Sorcerer Supreme Wong stared at Qin Yi. Pointing at the Eye of Agamotto hanging from Qin Yi's chest, he asked in disbelief,

"Sorcerer Supreme?"

Elsewhere,

Facing the Scarlet Witch, who had already cultivated the Darkhold, Stephen and America gradually fell into a disadvantage. After being struck by several of the Scarlet Witch's spells, the two were sent flying before Wong.

The Scarlet Witch slowly floated into the air, a black book hovering before her chest.

Scarlet energy surged between her hands as she prepared to finish off these troublesome people in one go.

Stephen rose from the ground and waved his hands, conjuring two magical shields before himself. He intended to keep fighting until he could make the witch abandon that dangerous idea.

Seeing that they were about to continue fighting, Qin Yi hurriedly stepped between the two sides.

"How about you talk it out? All this fighting and killing isn't good."

But clearly, none of them intended to stop. The auras of both sides grew stronger and stronger.

Having failed to mediate, Qin Yi could only cast several spells with both hands, binding the opposing sides where they stood.

"Now we can calm down and talk."

A moment later,

"So, the three of you..."

Qin Yi looked at the three people tied together—America, Dreamwalking Stephen, and the Sorcerer Supreme Wong—before continuing,

"You three are trying to stop the witch from absorbing America's ability to travel through the Multiverse, to avoid a possible collapse of the Multiverse afterward."

The three nodded at his words.

Qin Yi turned to the Scarlet Witch, who was still struggling nonstop, and asked,

"Miss Witch, you want to absorb America's ability so you can take better care of your children, right?"

The Scarlet Witch, restrained by Qin Yi, struggled for a while before realizing she could not break free from the controlling spell anytime soon.

She could not understand why the sorcerer before her was so powerful.

Weren't the strongest people in Kamar-Taj supposed to be the other two Sorcerer Supremes tied together over there?

After hearing Qin Yi's inexplicable question, she nodded.

The people tied in place atop the mountain truly could not understand the actions of this unfamiliar sorcerer.

They only heard Qin Yi continue speaking to himself.

"Then, Miss Witch, the premise of your actions is that your children, Tommy and Billy, truly exist. You have no objection to that, right?"

The Scarlet Witch stared at Qin Yi in astonishment. Was something wrong with this man's head? How could he say something like that?

Qin Yi could only continue explaining.

"Miss Witch, you should have seen Vision's corpse as well. Although he looks no different from an ordinary human on the surface,

Fundamentally, Vision is a highly intelligent technological creation. He is still a robot. You've seen it yourself.

All those things in his body... parts and such.

Life is indeed miraculous, but when it comes to Vision, a robot, getting Miss Witch pregnant, even if he wanted to, he probably couldn't.

After all, when Vision was created, that kind of function probably wasn't included."

"Pfft..."

America, who was tied together with Stephen and the Sorcerer Supreme Wong, could no longer hold back her laughter when she saw Qin Yi's inexplicable gestures.

Wanda on the other side froze upon hearing Qin Yi's words.

Her thoughts began to descend into chaos. In pain, she clutched at her hair, then raised her head and stared fixedly at Qin Yi.

The panic in her eyes, ringed by dark circles, gradually turned vicious.

The black book floating before her began to emit an inexplicable energy.

Qin Yi glanced at it and muttered inwardly, The Darkhold has that function too?

As the witch absorbed the energy emanating from the book, the Darkhold slowly dissipated.

At that moment, the scarlet magic surging around the witch became even more powerful.

Seeing this, Stephen hurriedly shouted at Qin Yi,

"Sorcerer, let us go! Wanda can't control the energy in her body anymore!"

With a wave of his hand, Qin Yi released the three from their restraints.

The out-of-control Scarlet Witch finally broke through Qin Yi's controlling spell. She descended from the air, scarlet energy swirling around her as she walked toward Qin Yi.

After exchanging a glance with Qin Yi,

Terrifying energies erupted behind them and collided. The shockwave from the impact instantly reduced the temple on Wundagore Mountain to nothing.

But after that exchange, Qin Yi felt that something was off. Was this woman really that powerful?

Qin Yi could not even tell whether what flowed through the witch now was Chaos Magic or the legendary Chaos Force at its peak.

Among Marvel's three ancient powers, the Fairy Force within Qin Yi had rarely appeared even in the comics, and it had never appeared in the movie universe—not even a trace of it.

Qin Yi's understanding of the Fairy Force came from the information the system had transmitted into his mind before it went dormant.

Based on the Fairy Force's devouring and absorption properties, its growth potential was likely incredibly high. The cost, however, was an unceasing hunger that would eventually cause one to lose oneself within it.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Force Qin Yi had devoured from Phoenix was merely one of the countless fragments of the Phoenix Force.

After all, a complete Phoenix Force had never appeared anywhere in the Marvel Universe.

But unlike the Phoenix Force,

In the oldest settings, the Chaos Force had appeared in its peak state.

Could it be

That the Scarlet Witch had been pushed directly into the Chaos Force's peak state by that earlier provocation?

This damn fused universe—what the hell had it fused together...

Qin Yi eyed the ever-stronger scarlet energy pouring from the witch's body as he considered his options.

If he devoured the witch's energy this time, the Fairy Force might surpass 100% fusion. Then he would surely lose his mind to hunger. But if he did not devour the Scarlet Witch's energy,

How was he supposed to fight?

There was no fucking way to fight...

In the instant the shockwave dispersed, countless thoughts flashed through Qin Yi's mind.

He extended a hand toward the Scarlet Witch, who was preparing to attack again. Under her puzzled gaze, Qin Yi shouted,

"Wait! I just thought of another possibility."

Hearing that, the energy around the witch stopped as well. She stood some distance away, watching Qin Yi curiously.

Behind Qin Yi, Wong and Dreamwalking Stephen exchanged glances. Both silently thought, So this could work too.

Qin Yi stroked his chin with one hand and said to the witch,

"Miss Witch, the Chaos Magic within you is itself capable of altering reality. Do you think there is a possibility that your twin sons, Tommy and Billy,

Were actually created by you through magic and witchcraft, but you deliberately forgot about it in your subconscious?

And I just happen to be rather skilled in witchcraft myself. How about we give it a try?"
