Kapitel 139: Chapter 135
[1000 Powerstones needed for the next Bonus Chapter!]
...
In no time, Sky Base had become Wanda and the others' favorite "toy." They even named it the City in the Sky. While it hasn't been relocated to New York, it now hovers hundreds of nautical miles away over the Pacific Ocean. New York, with its dense air traffic—and Tony Stark frequently flying around—seemed too risky. Despite Sky Base's optical invisibility, there's still a fear that one day, Tony might accidentally collide with it. Even though Sky Base's metal is highly durable, Tony's armor, combined with his supersonic speeds, could break through it in seconds. Over the Pacific, such worries are fewer.
Though Sky Base is an impressive toy, Wanda and the others have bigger dreams. They envision the City in the Sky transforming into a spaceship—one capable of exploring the universe. Earth has lost its charm; now, they yearn to see the cosmos. Leon has always supported this vision, so the scientific research team has returned to work after their vacation. Leon plans to gradually introduce advanced technologies through artificial intelligence, allowing the team to use them effectively, even if they don't fully understand the science behind them.
Everyone remains fascinated by Sky Base. After all, this massive structure has become their home. With Clarice's portal, they've started bringing in supplies to redecorate, transforming it into a warm, beautiful place. The concept of "home" runs deep for all of them.
Once the renovations are complete, Wanda, Gennady, and the others will head back to campus. Gennady, however, still plans to go to London. He's not interested in the vampire-werewolf conflict, but he suspects there's a deeper mystery surrounding the origins of the two races, one he's determined to uncover.
Meanwhile, Leon receives an unexpected guest.
It's a sunny day at the manor's pool. Wanda, Natasha, and the other three girls are enjoying the cool water. Some of their friends have gone shopping, while others have returned to Chicago or elsewhere. In the pool, the three girls glide gracefully, like mermaids. Far from being awkward around water, they swim with skill, racing back and forth or creating waves over ten feet high with a flick of their hands.
Leon lounges nearby in black shorts and sunglasses, stretched out on a recliner. Natasha sits beside him, massaging his shoulders, while Wanda prepares a fruit platter, slicing fresh fruit into a colorful display.
The sound of chirping and the seabirds passing overhead made everything feel peaceful and warm. Natasha was chatting with Leon about Pushkin, Yelena, and the connections between Melina and Alexei, along with how Yuriko, was taking her mentorship role seriously.
Yelena, on the other hand, was facing challenges. During training, she was shocked by the raw strength of the young Pushkin. Although he hadn't received the super gene serum, he had mastered the three-color Haki to an advanced level, and his physical fitness was approaching superhuman levels. Naturally, this made him far stronger than Yelena, who was just beginning to develop her own abilities.
Yelena, frustrated and inspired, gritted her teeth and threw herself into intense training under Yuriko's supervision. With her powerful self-healing ability and super gene serum enhancements, Yuriko had become even more monstrous than before. Her relentless pursuit of strength and her indifferent personality made her a relentless trainer, willing to push to deadly extremes.
As a result, Yuriko's strength had grown terrifyingly fast, and her fighting style had become ruthless and formidable, placing her just below the top-tier fighters like Wanda, Pietro, Sergei, and Gennady. For Yelena, being trained by someone like Yuriko was a grueling ordeal—but with the healing serum available, injuries were only temporary. The training wouldn't stop unless it was fatal.
Thinking about it, Leon couldn't help but laugh.
While chatting, Leon, Natasha, and Wanda's relaxed expressions abruptly changed. As they continued talking, massaging, and slicing fruit, all three turned sharply toward an empty area to their left, their eyes as sharp as blades. Wanda's eyes glowed red, and the fruit knife in her hand stilled, its tip angled slightly in the direction of the disturbance.
In the supposedly empty space, someone hidden from sight felt a sudden chill, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Leon spoke calmly, "Come out, unless you'd rather be crushed by the collapsing space around you."
As he spoke, the previously stable area of space began to ripple, emitting a sound like breaking glass. Inside the mirror dimension, the sorcerer hiding there felt the entire realm around him begin to compress, as if on the brink of shattering. Realizing Leon was serious, he immediately acted, drawing a circle in the air.
A portal, taller than a person, materialized, and he stepped out.
The sorcerer was short and slightly chubby, dressed in a dark red robe that looked rough, not particularly elegant. His face was Asian, and at this moment, he looked extremely nervous, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he struggled to steady his breathing.
Leon, Wanda, and Natasha all possessed a commanding presence and mastery of Haki. When they focused their intense gaze on someone, their combined aura was enough to make an ordinary person hesitate or even feel unhinged.
"Are you from Kamar-Taj?" Leon asked, eyeing the anxious, chubby Asian mage before him. His insight allowed him to identify the man immediately.
"Yes, Mr. Leon," the mage replied smoothly, despite his nervousness. "My name is Wong. I come from Kamar-Taj, and I'm here at the Ancient One's request to invite you to visit."
Wong instinctively licked his lips, but he managed to deliver his message clearly.
Kamar-Taj… the Ancient One… Natasha and Wanda exchanged a glance. Leon had once mentioned a secret order of sorcerers on Earth, led by a powerful and ancient guardian—the Ancient One. But the reason for this sudden invitation remained unclear.
Without hesitation, Leon stood up from his chair. With a quick word to Natasha and Wanda, he stepped forward to join Wong.
