Chapter 193 Chapter 0193: Supreme

?Wanda didn't show too much of a reaction to Wong's words when she heard that the structure at the peak of Mount Wundagore was supposed to be a castle for her, "So that's the place. I see," She raised a brow and seemed to understand something.

"Did you already know about that place?" Steve asked Wanda, interjecting himself into the conversation.

"Not really, but I've been feeling something calling to me for a very long time now." Wanda answered, "That's probably the place that's been calling to me for so long."

"And you never thought to check the place out?" Tony asked.

"I don't know," Wanda shrugged her shoulders, "I guess I had a voice in my head telling me that it's not safe to go there. I listened and it seems like it paid off."

Nat was the only one who knew what that voice in Wanda's head was.

"Seems like a useful voice," Tony said, "Probably the same one that keeps telling me that the man behind New York is coming..."

"Again?" Nat looked at Tony with some worry.

"It's fine," Tony shrugged it off, "It isn't hurting anyone. Other than my personal life." He spoke the last part under his breath.

"Getting back on track," Wanda said, "Do you need me to examine Strange and try to use my powers to help get rid of that lingering will of this Chthon that you speak of?"

"That would be for the best, but now I'm not so sure," Wong said.

"If that place has been calling Wanda since the start," Steve said with a frown, "Then allowing her to come into contact with Strange shouldn't be a good thing either."

"I can handle myself," Wanda said, "How difficult can indirect contact with a lingering will be?"

"That's probably what that guy thought before getting himself possessed and almost killing all of us," Tony said, "Hell, I still don't know what happened after he froze us in time and lost the Time Stone."

Wanda almost lost her composure when she heard Tony's words, but still kept her act together. Natasha was the only one who noticed that discrepancy and even that was because she was already aware of the situation, same as Wanda.

It took some time, but Wanda convinced Wong to accept her plan. The Avengers were left in the same waiting room despite wanting to follow the two of them. But Wong said that he'd already shown enough leeway by allowing them to enter Kamar Taj. They weren't allowed to get access to their core secrets.

Wong brought her to Strange's unconscious form that was securely kept within an enchanted room within Kamar Taj, "We've kept him under since I don't want him to mobilize his authority within Kamar Taj to turn things against us."

"See, you're saying all of these things about there being some greater authority to the Sorcerer Supreme, but all I see is an empty title. Sure, you're supposed to be the best if you're the Sorcerer Supreme, but then what significance does the title hold in the first place?" Wanda asked Wong, "Can't we just name anyone Sorcerer Supreme and call it a day?"

"It's not that simple," Wong said, "There are higher forces at play when it comes to assigning the mantle of the Sorcerer Supreme." Seeing Wanda's questioning look, Wong understood that she wasn't satisfied with his explanation and continued speaking, "I would like to tell you more, but I don't know a lot about it myself. That knowledge is only possessed by the Sorcerer Supreme themself. All I know is that there is a specific ritual that is needed when it comes to assigning a new Sorcerer Supreme. Then they are granted the necessary knowledge and authority."

"So we're going in blind," Wanda said, "Great..." She looked at Strange as Wong cast an unfamiliar magic circle over the man.

His action seemed to pull something out from Strange and moments later, the circle exploded into a projection that created enough of a shockwave to push Wanda back by a couple of steps despite her immense power. Wong was unceremoniously pushed back enough to collide with the wall.

Wanda couldn't make much out of the projection, all she saw was the faint silhouette of a three-headed figure, two of the heads seemed humanoid while the third seemed to be that of some kind of animal that she couldn't decide on. Both she and Wong could feel an insurmountable pressure building up within the room, but they were still standing. Wanda, for some reason, felt as if that pressure was merely a front, almost seeming hollow, but she didn't test it.

She heard the projection chanting something in a distorted voice as if three people were speaking without being in conjunction. Once the piercing chant concluded, a golden ball of light was pulled out of Strange before being split into two equal halves. One of them went into Wanda and the other into Wong.

Instantly, Wanda felt waves of knowledge assaulting her mind, almost threatening to overwhelm her. As the seconds passed, she felt it overwhelming her and her head started hurting with an increasing intensity. She groaned lightly and felt as if she would pass out from the pain that didn't seem like it would stop any time soon. Then, she felt as if her consciousness was pulled into another plane of existence entirely, one that made her feel extremely comfortable. And it was a familiar sort of comfort. She saw the illusion of a green and red glow within that plane and just as she tried to approach that light, she found herself returning to her body.

[You're okay now...] She heard Alex's voice in her head as she felt her clothes tightening around her as if she was being hugged.

Feeling so weak that she felt like her legs would give out at any time, Wanda chuckled lightly, [You devoured my clothes again...]

Alex couldn't help but laugh in her head when she heard her, [You just went through a very overwhelming experience. I'll take you back to Wakanda for a nap. You can return once you've recovered sufficiently. Wong is also going to be out for a while.
