Marvel: Killing Makes You Stronger

Chapter 271: Wanda thought’s on the Sorcerer Supreme Position

In recent years, Wanda's power has completely surpassed that of the Ancient One.

Wanda's foundational core also includes the Kamar-Taj magical sequence, which was later heavily modified by both Bi Xiao and Wanda herself to create her own system. Coupled with the Darkhold and similar sources, Wanda’s knowledge of magic has become even more profound than that of the Ancient One.

There's no doubt that she is the foremost sorcerer across the Nine Realms.

If Loki wishes to become the top sorcerer in the Nine Realms in the future, he would first have to seek Wanda's approval.

However, Wanda is not concerned with such titles.

The Ancient One is fully aware of this and has now entirely let go and embraced a more carefree attitude. With the emergence of powerful beings like Bi Xiao, Wanda, Bella, and Pietro on Earth, the counterattack against the Dark Dimension is only a matter of time.

The Ancient One has no doubt that Bi Xiao would easily overpower Dormammu.

She is convinced that Dormammu stands no chance.

The Ancient One cannot fully comprehend Bi Xiao's existence and rise, as his rapid growth continually exceeds her understanding.

Moreover, the Ancient One knows that Bi Xiao’s power, apart from his growth speed, comes from the terrifyingly high-level energy within him, which seems almost limitless. When faced with dark entities like demons, he easily overwhelms them, just as he does against angels from the heavens with their holy light.

In essence, no matter the type of magic, it is always inferior when compared to Bi Xiao, inherently at a disadvantage.

Furthermore, Bi Xiao’s life essence is extremely robust, and he continues to learn and accumulate knowledge, creating a series of powerful doctrines and techniques that make him unmatched at his level, with no possibility of weakness.

The Ancient One is no fool; she long realized that Bi Xiao’s current level is already at the single-universe level. Even if he were to enter the Dark Dimension and fight Dormammu, she believes that Dormammu would definitely not be a match for Bi Xiao.

With such a powerful figure present, the Ancient One's greatest wish now is to quickly have Wanda take over as the Sorcerer Supreme.

Not to mention, Wanda's strength places her among the best of the Celestials. Even if she encounters something or someone she cannot handle, she still has Bella, Pietro, Thor, Loki, and Hulk by her side.

And if all else fails, there's still Bi Xiao.

At that point, Earth would truly be safe.

Much safer than during her tenure.

Wanda has no objections to taking over as Sorcerer Supreme; after all, she is already intended to be Bi Xiao’s wife. She also desires achievements of her own, and she feels that the path to becoming the God of Magic is quite suitable.

So, Wanda has decided to undercut someone’s position. Who, you ask?

Naturally, it’s Vishanti. The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj will one day become her loyal followers, and she also has her eyes on the legendary Book of the Vishanti, which, as the opposite of the Darkhold, contains a vast amount of white magic knowledge.

All of these would add to her foundation, and Wanda has no intention of letting them go.

However, despite these intentions, Wanda is not in a hurry to assume the position of Sorcerer Supreme, mainly because, at her current age, she does not want to be tied down to this role just yet. Earth faces threats from other dimensions almost daily.

Although in recent years, due to Bi Xiao's rise, some powerful entities have hesitated to invade, there are still plenty of reckless beings who don’t care about the risks.

So, there are still quite a few invasions.

The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj struggle to handle these threats, so Wanda decisively lets the Ancient One continue for a few more years, while she gradually sends the younger Kamar-Taj sorcerers to a magical realm, planting magic cores to cultivate them.

The advantage of these magic cores is that they don’t depend on talent or aptitude; even a fool, once they develop magic, will have that magic automatically elevate their life essence, improving their soul, comprehension, and more. The more magic they possess, the higher their life essence, and the greater their talents will become.

Of course, there is still a difference between talents.

The higher the starting point, the faster the future growth will be, and this is universally true.

In any case, the younger sorcerers will no longer need to borrow magic energy from the Vishanti dimension, and eventually, the Earth lineage of sorcerers will no longer have followers of Vishanti.

Wanda is also considering training a few good candidates to act as her deputies, to take over the responsibility of protecting Earth in her stead.

This would give her more time to spend with Bi Xiao, study magic, and grow stronger.

It’s a delightful plan.

As Bella listened to Wanda's description, a smile curved on her lips: "Aren't you afraid the Ancient One will complain? After all, she has always wanted to travel the multiverse."

Wanda’s plan is good, but making the Ancient One persist for a few more years will certainly leave her somewhat resentful.

Bella can already imagine the Ancient One’s normally serene face showing a hint of bitterness.

But Wanda doesn’t mind. Although several years have passed, she’s still in her early twenties, still a young girl. Can’t a young girl be a little willful? Even if she makes a mistake, she can be forgiven.

Besides, she hasn’t done anything wrong; on the contrary, she’s thought it through thoroughly.

So Wanda confidently said, "I’m doing this for the sake of Earth. The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj are too weak. They are utterly useless against external threats, and as Bi Xiao said, they need to improve their inner strength."

Bella didn’t argue with her.

Although Wanda’s words were harsh, it was indeed true for Kamar-Taj. The reality is that within Kamar-Taj, aside from the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, the other sorcerers, whether young or old, are indeed weak in terms of power.

The major threats usually require the Ancient One to personally intervene, which is why she has been overburdened for over a thousand years, longing to retire.

It’s busier and more dangerous than working a regular job.

If the Kamar-Taj sorcerers were a bit more competent, the Ancient One would only need to deal with opponents on the Celestial level, which would greatly reduce her workload.

Unfortunately, the Kamar-Taj sorcerer system has a major flaw: borrowing magic energy from the Vishanti dimension is essentially a high-interest loan, causing the sorcerers to be cautious when using it. As sorcerers, they also have to train in hand-to-hand combat, which is almost laughable.

But it’s out of necessity.

Only in life-and-death situations do these sorcerers recklessly draw energy to cast spells.
