#212 - The corpse of the dimensional demon! A taboo that should not be touched!
Amidst the Earth Peace Council's blockade of information regarding Luo Fu, Quicksilver and the others in the Middle East only managed to glean fragmented snippets.
But hearsay could never compare to firsthand experience.
Quicksilver trusted that Scarlet Witch would never joke about such matters.

Furthermore, recalling the earlier event, after shedding the pride and complacency that came with gaining superpowers, he realized that when he and Scarlet Witch attacked Luo Fu together, the distance that seemed so close was completely different from the time it took him to run.
Faced with a powerhouse like Luo Fu, who could easily toy with him, Quicksilver's arrogance instantly dissolved into nothingness.
Powerlessly looking at Luo Fu, Quicksilver gritted his teeth and lowered his head, saying, "Sir, what… what exactly do you want us to do? With your strength, it seems we're of no use to you."
Luo Fu wouldn't cater to Quicksilver's feelings, and bluntly stated, "That's just because you're useless to me!"
Quicksilver's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly misunderstood Luo Fu's intentions towards him and his sister, just like Baron Strucker had.
In the chaotic Middle East, a girl like Wanda was highly valuable. In their previous life, Quicksilver had spent no small amount of effort protecting Wanda.
He hadn't expected that a powerhouse like Luo Fu would also be interested in Wanda.
Even if he didn't know the meaning of "beauty brings disaster," Quicksilver had that concept in his mind.
He glanced at Luo Fu unwillingly and forced a smile, "Sir, a big shot like you, what kind of woman can't you have? Why… why does it have to be Wanda? Compared to Wanda's body, our abilities can also provide you with a little insignificant help."
It had to be admitted that after experiencing the setback, Quicksilver was indeed not as mindless as before.
In Luo Fu's eyes, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver came across as somewhat arrogant. Perhaps it was because they were the only two superheroes with powerful abilities in this Hydra base. Moreover, even when facing the Avengers, the siblings could easily handle them.
This led to an unconscious arrogance in their hearts.
Just like now, after misunderstanding Luo Fu's intention in taking them away, Quicksilver even aimed to pledge allegiance to Luo Fu and work for him in other places, hoping that Luo Fu would spare Wanda.
After all, it was just hearsay. Compared to Scarlet Witch, who had truly witnessed Luo Fu's powerful ability to casually deny reality as if he were a true god,
Quicksilver's understanding of Luo Fu's power was ultimately just a vague concept. There was fear, but it was far from reaching the level of understanding and insight that Scarlet Witch possessed.
Afraid that Quicksilver would once again provoke Luo Fu's displeasure, Scarlet Witch only hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sir, if you are willing to help us take revenge, then… then…"
Just as Scarlet Witch was about to go all out,
A knock on the door made Scarlet Witch breathe a sigh of relief, thankful that she didn't have to make a decision so quickly.
Luo Fu raised an eyebrow, feeling a little strange.
Although he hadn't opened the door yet, he could clearly sense that Baron Strucker was waiting outside the door with several scantily clad girls.
Associating it with Quicksilver's words and Scarlet Witch's reaction just now,
Luo Fu instantly understood.
Luo Fu didn't deny that he was indeed very interested in Scarlet Witch.
After all, such a powerful girl with extremely high potential, who also fit his preferences, was not surprising for Luo Fu, who possessed the ability to control the Seven Deadly Sins.
But that didn't mean he was indiscriminate.
He wasn't the rich second-generation scum from the Super God Universe.
That guy was truly like a Teddy before he awakened his memories.
Without any visible action, a subtle gravitational force, like telekinesis, opened the door.
Baron Strucker, with a smile on his face, led several girls with different charms into the room.
"Sir, you are our leader now, so of course you need a few people to serve you. These girls are specially trained by our organization. You can choose a few to take care of your life. The time was a bit too rushed, I hope you can understand!" Baron Strucker said with a somewhat apologetic tone, as if he was truly feeling guilty for not being able to satisfy Luo Fu.
It had to be admitted that Hydra was indeed resourceful.
In such a short period of time, Baron Strucker was able to find seven girls with different charms.
Especially since these girls were truly nurtured by Hydra from a young age, each with an unspeakable loyalty and fanaticism towards Hydra.
At this moment, they were well aware of their mission, not only without any resistance, but also with a sense of pride.
More importantly, these seven girls were clearly chosen based on Wanda's standards.
Short time, high efficiency, that's Hydra. No wonder S.H.I.E.L.D., as the victor, was so thoroughly infiltrated by Hydra.
Within Hydra, although internal strife was inevitable due to different factions and branches, Hydra was far stronger than S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Earth Peace Council in terms of cooperation and survival.
Luo Fu gave Baron Strucker a meaningful look.
"Baron, you have a good heart, but I hope you don't put your mind on figuring out my preferences. I think you should know what the consequences are for guessing the Holy Heart's thoughts."
Baron Strucker's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Sir, please don't misunderstand. We just hope that these people can help you solve a few insignificant problems."
Luo Fu didn't have much intention of killing Baron Strucker for his actions.
Although Baron Strucker was indeed trying to guess Luo Fu's thoughts, it was undeniable that Baron Strucker was still very useful in Luo Fu's eyes.
After all, despite the fact that the Hydra members in this base seemed to treat Luo Fu with a fervor akin to that of treating the Führer,
It was only because of Baron Strucker himself.
In Luo Fu's eyes, Baron Strucker was like a newly acquired tool. Perhaps it wasn't too handy, but there was no need to discard it so quickly. Of course, more importantly, Luo Fu still needed this tool at the moment.
It wasn't a smooth and easy task for Scarlet Witch to master her Chaos Magic.
The danger of pure Chaos Magic alone could bring extremely terrible consequences.
And this Hydra base was clearly a place where Scarlet Witch could constantly practice Chaos Magic. Even if it caused any trouble, Baron Strucker and the others would be responsible for cleaning up the mess.
Otherwise, if he simply killed Baron Strucker, Luo Fu really didn't have the confidence to perfectly control this Hydra base.
It wasn't that Luo Fu couldn't do it.
But he simply didn't need to ponder these interpersonal issues.
Under the pressure brought by Luo Fu, Baron Strucker quickly broke out in a cold sweat.
After apologizing and admitting his mistake to Luo Fu, Baron Strucker quickly led the beautiful girls away from the room.
After exiting the door, he even thoughtfully closed the door gently.
Even Luo Fu hadn't expected that because of Baron Strucker's actions, Baron Strucker was able to send so many girls with different charms to Luo Fu in such a short period of time.
Scarlet Witch, who had just been unwilling to yield, suddenly changed her mind.
It wasn't that Scarlet Witch wanted to submit, but the appearance of those girls made her feel a strong sense of threat.
Scarlet Witch prided herself on perhaps being very beautiful, but she definitely hadn't reached the point where she could make people so infatuated.
Now that Luo Fu was interested in her, he didn't mind playing some tricks, but what if there was a girl who made that Luo Fu even more infatuated?
At this moment, in order to survive with her brother, Scarlet Witch finally made a decision.
"Sir, we can do anything for you!" If it hadn't been for Baron Strucker's interruption, Scarlet Witch would have already said such words. At this moment, Scarlet Witch was even more decisive.
Luo Fu shook his head with a wry smile, "Compared to your body, I care more about your ability."
Ability?
A flash of inspiration in her mind, Scarlet Witch suddenly thought that when Quicksilver was injured, Luo Fu had suggested that she use her own ability to deny the reality of Quicksilver's injury.
If she hadn't seen Luo Fu's ability to change reality before, then Scarlet Witch could only treat Chaos Magic as telekinesis that could simply interfere with the mind.
But now, she suddenly realized, could it be that her ability could also reach such a height?
In an instant of excitement, Scarlet Witch's breathing even became a little rapid.
"Si… Sir, are you saying that I… I can also do… do what you just did?"
Nodding, Luo Fu said, "Otherwise, you wouldn't think that I chose the two of you just because of your appearance, right?"
After a slight pause, just as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Fu said with a wicked taste, "Of course, I don't deny that you are indeed very attractive! In addition to your ability, I don't mind using your body!"
The expression on Scarlet Witch's face, which had just shown a smile, instantly froze.
After making Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch's mood rise and fall like a roller coaster,
Luo Fu didn't continue to tease the siblings. Instead, he began to formally guide Scarlet Witch on how to develop new Chaos Magic.
In this process, Luo Fu also began to gradually develop his own Chaos Magic by studying the power of the Reality Stone and using his own Izanagi's eye technique as the foundation.
However, what's somewhat frustrating is that, despite the Scarlet Witch's current weak strength and unstable mental state, she can't fully unleash the power of Chaos Magic.
But this is due to her own limitations.
In comparison, Luo Fu's Izanagi eye technique is like a fixed, running program, unlike the Scarlet Witch, who can alter reality's program at will.
Whether it's the Reality Stone or the Scarlet Witch's Chaos Magic, they are both a bit too advanced for Luo Fu.
Luo Fu's situation is like having a carrying program installed, but he only has the right to use it. He knows how to use it, but doesn't understand the underlying principles.
What he needs is to analyze the entire process of this program, innovate upon it, and even thoroughly research it, creating more programs at will.
The breakthrough from zero to one is the most difficult.
In climbing the peak of Chaos Magic, Luo Fu's Izanagi is just a fixed sightseeing cable car, at most reaching a fixed height, while Chaos Magic is like a peak that can never be fully climbed.
Luo Fu needs to dismantle this sightseeing cable car and turn it into his own mountaineering tool.
The Scarlet Witch's Chaos Magic is like a high-altitude elevator, and the Reality Stone is even more like a space elevator.
To truly analyze the Scarlet Witch's Chaos Magic and the Reality Stone, combining them with his own Izanagi eye technique to develop Chaos Magic that truly belongs to him, is undoubtedly a vast and enormous project for Luo Fu.
However, Luo Fu also has his own advantage, which is the library of Kamar-Taj.
Although countless dimensional demon gods have tragically died at the hands of the Ancient One, the knowledge developed through their wisdom has been preserved in Kamar-Taj.
However, the knowledge containing the power of dimensional demon gods is quite dangerous even in Kamar-Taj and cannot be read by ordinary people.
Many are even classified as forbidden books by Kamar-Taj!
Ordinary Kamar-Taj disciples simply don't have the qualifications to read them.
After his research into Chaos Magic fell into difficulty, Luo Fu had no choice but to seek help from the Ancient One.
Kamar-Taj,
When Luo Fu arrived at this sanctuary of Earth's sorcerers,
The Ancient One seemed to have anticipated Luo Fu's arrival, having waited for a long time, even personally welcoming him.
Just as Luo Fu crossed the spatial ripples and appeared in Kamar-Taj, he immediately saw the Ancient One who had been waiting for a long time.
In the Ancient One's hands, she held a leather-bound thread-stitched book.
Before Luo Fu could speak, the Ancient One主动主动 handed the leather-bound thread-stitched book to Luo Fu, saying: "I know your intention. This book will give you inspiration and help. But I hope you can use it wisely."
Luo Fu glanced at the Ancient One with some surprise. Theoretically, although the six Infinity Stones have different focuses in terms of abilities, they are equal in terms of power.
Even though Luo Fu now has the Mind Stone from the scepter and the Reality Stone transformed into the Aether particles, he is still being perceived into the future by the Ancient One, who wields the Time Stone.
As this thought inexplicably arose in his mind, Luo Fu's expression changed the moment he took the leather-bound thread-stitched book.
The moment he reached out and touched the book, Luo Fu inexplicably felt another emotion.
Sympathy for its kind.
The material used for this leather-bound thread-stitched book actually gave Luo Fu a feeling of sympathy for its kind.
If Luo Fu was still the ordinary insurance salesman who hadn't entered the shared space, he would probably have taken it for granted that it was made of human skin.
However, human skin material simply cannot bear this power.
Perhaps for ordinary people, human skin material is a good material that can carry power with powerful effects.
But for beings like Luo Fu, human skin has no value at all, and even human souls are meaningless unless they are in dimensions like Hell or Heaven.
And now Luo Fu has come to the Ancient One to ask about Chaos Magic.
Could the material that carries the knowledge of Chaos Magic be ordinary animal skin, or even human skin?
No.
Neither ordinary magical beasts nor humans themselves possess the qualifications for such material.
And the fact that Luo Fu, a dimensional demon god, felt sympathy for its kind meant that the material of this leather-bound thread-stitched book was self-evident.
Only the skin of another Chaos Demon God could give Luo Fu such a feeling.
Seeing that Luo Fu had taken the leather-bound thread-stitched book, the Ancient One, as expected, showed the expected emotion.
The Ancient One said: "What do you see?"
Luo Fu hesitated for a moment and said: "A... a leather-bound thread-stitched book."
"That's just your illusion," the Ancient One explained: "It is your perception that gives it form, but in fact, it is neither a thread-stitched book nor parchment."
Just as the Ancient One's voice fell, Luo Fu was surprised to find that the leather-bound thread-stitched book in his hand had actually changed. Although it still gave Luo Fu a feeling of sympathy for its kind.
In an instant, this original leather-bound thread-stitched book turned into a parchment scroll.
"Don't use fixed perceptions to define it, look at what it is again!" The Ancient One seemed to have anticipated this series of changes, and as Luo Fu's perception changed, the Ancient One quickly reminded him once again.
At this time, Luo Fu truly felt that the thing that had turned into a parchment scroll in his hand had actually transformed into ancient bamboo slips in an instant.
To be precise, these were bone slips carved from unknown bones. Where was the touch of parchment from just now? It was like a warm, yet strangely cold bone slip.
Each bone fragment seemed to come from a different body.
Compared to the knowledge and wisdom recorded in this book, Luo Fu was now even more curious about what material this thing, which seemed to have no fixed form, was made of, and why it gave him such a strong feeling of sympathy for its kind.
Before Luo Fu could speak, the Ancient One took the initiative to say: "I think you should have already discovered that the image of this book completely depends on your own perception. As for its material, after I killed countless demon gods and dimensional demon gods back then, I once placed their corpses in the solar system to deter those who were eyeing Earth, but later, I found that it was a bit too wasteful."
Luo Fu suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
As expected, his feeling just now was not wrong.
Anything that the Ancient One specifically reminded him to use wisely was definitely not ordinary.
You should know that in Kamar-Taj, only the Eye of Agamotto, which symbolizes the identity of the Sorcerer Supreme, was solemnly passed on to the future Doctor Strange by the Ancient One.
Apart from that, even when Kaecilius stole the magic that recorded the summoning of Dormammu, the Ancient One had never been so serious.
Unexpectedly, this thing was actually a symbol of the Ancient One's own achievements, made from the corpses of those demon gods and dimensional demon gods who had died at the hands of the Ancient One back then.
No wonder he felt a sense of sympathy for its kind when he touched it just now.
Luo Fu himself was also one of the dimensional demon gods, and this magical tool made from the corpses of dimensional demon gods naturally allowed him to feel the aura of the death of his kind.
This was a transcendent feeling possessed by dimensional demon gods, a special life form.
In humans, it's like the human's keen sense of the smell of corpses, or the aversion to the sound of fingernails scratching glass, except that in humans, these external sensory stimuli originate from genetic memory.
As for dimensional demon gods, it was an even more mysterious and transcendent feeling.
The Ancient One gave Luo Fu such a special magical tool made from the corpses of countless demon gods and dimensional demon gods. This alone was enough to make people feel her care and importance towards Luo Fu.
Touching the magic book in his hand with a complex expression, which seemed to be fixed in the form of bone slips, Luo Fu said: "Ancient One, I just wanted to ask you about Chaos Magic, but now you have given me such a big surprise, no, accurately speaking, this is no longer a surprise, but astonishment."
"Then you have to exercise your courage," After joking, the Ancient One said sternly: "I know you want to ask about Chaos Magic, but although I am the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, I cannot give you much guidance on Chaos Magic. The only thing I can tell you is that Chaos Magic is very dangerous."
"Dangerous?" A flash of inspiration struck Luo Fu's mind, and he subconsciously asked: "Are you saying that Chaos Magic may attract the attention of that being?"
"Some things are forbidden taboos that should not be touched!" After the Ancient One gave a meaningful reminder, she changed the subject and said: "Chaos Magic is the oldest and most independent form of magic, not restricted by good or evil. It's like the power to decide whether or not. The most common effect is that it can change reality at will."
"I know that!" Luo Fu frowned.
The Ancient One shook her head and said: "No, you don't know. Do you think Chaos Magic is related to Chthon? I can tell you, it's not. On the contrary, Chthon only possesses the power of Chaos Magic. You must understand that whether it's creating something out of nothing, distorting reality, reversing cause and effect, or even modifying the physical laws of the entire universe, it's just a focus of Chaos Magic. Chaos Magic is the truth of the universe."
Vaguely, the Ancient One's words made Luo Fu feel as if he had grasped something in his heart.
But that feeling of always being separated by a layer of window paper, but unable to break through it, made Luo Fu frown.
"Does mastering Chaos Magic itself mean mastering the power of the universe?" Luo Fu asked uncertainly.
"Whether or not can be defined by Chaos Magic, but Chaos Magic cannot be defined by whether or not."
