Rimuru had spent only a few carefree days in his sky palace when word came from S.H.I.E.L.D. on distant Earth.
After the T-1000 mechanical legion had combed through intelligence and tracked down leads, with the restarted S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence network spread across Europe as a fallback, Nick Fury had finally pinpointed the whereabouts of the Maximoff siblings he had been so eager to find.
An abandoned research institute on the outskirts of Sokovia, Eastern Europe.
Nick Fury's voice came over the communication line, as steady and efficient as ever, without a moment wasted. "Rimuru, we found the 'assets' you wanted. I think I understand why you asked for those two by name. Both siblings are emotionally unstable right now, and their powers have begun to run out of control. Ordinary agents can't get anywhere near them. Come over yourself."
Rimuru, who had been lying in the clouds soaking up the sun, sat bolt upright. The lazy look in his eyes vanished.
Finally found them!
Not wanting to take his time piloting the Helicarrier there, he used a spatial slip to cross thousands of miles in an instant. The next second, he appeared outside the dilapidated, desolate research institute in Sokovia.
Fierce winds churned around the abandoned experimental facility. Visible ripples of red energy burst out incessantly, while rubble and scrap metal floated uncontrollably in the air, trembling wildly.
A boy darted back and forth across the open ground so fast that only silver-blue afterimages remained. His speed tore through the air with piercing sonic booms. It was Pietro, who possessed super speed.
Not far away, a girl hovered in midair, her eyes crimson. Chaotic, violent magic energy spread freely from her, defying all rules and distorting the space and light around her.
This was Chaos Magic.
Rimuru stood at a distance
