Chapter 33 - conflict

Melanie's Ruby eyes looked towards the horizon. There she saw few survivors. By the looks of it they were bunch of mutants.

Her eyes lingered for few more seconds before ultimately deciding not to bother with it.

Instead of getting entangled with this bunch it would be better to go and meet 'Her'.

She waved her hand and a purple portal appeared.

When she came out the portal what greeted her was a regal throne room.

Her eyes first went to a beautiful lady sitting on a throne at the very end of the room. She was in red layered ladies dress, half her face covered with a Vail.

She ignored the two man standing and walked forward, soon she stood before her god.

Melanie bent her right knee and kneeled, "This humble witch greets the lady".

Wanda hummed lightly and nodded, " Get up, take a seat".

Melanie got up from kneeling position and sat on her lady's right.

"Melanie, wait for now, I will brief you about your duties just in a moment"

Wanda turned her head towards Reed, who was silently staring at a hologram screen.

"Something bothering you Mr Reed"?

" Wanda.... did you just wipe out humanity from that world ", Richard's words were stiff. The atmosphere in the throne room tensed.

Pietro took a step back, he turned his turned his eyes towards the end of the room and glanced at Wanda warily.

" Yes, Mr Richard, I practically made humans extinct on that earth"

"How... How... Could you do something like that. How could you do something so cruel", Reed's voice cracked, his breath quickened, " Is this the great thing that you told me about, you murderer ".

Melanie was about to teach this brazen person a lesson for his rudeness when she saw her lady gently raise her hand, stopping her on her tracks.

" Mr Richard did my actions upset you "?

" Wanda!!! how can you be so calm after committing such a horrible crime ", Reed asked desperately, hoping to get a reasonable answer. Hoping it was just him misunderstanding.

Wanda laughed gently ,"heheehe, reed, you are too naive. What is a crime? Committing a crime means one deserves death, that is only the weaklings' naive and helpless expectation, they spread such ideology, hoping people would abide by it so as to protect these weaklings. As for me, I want to be a person who commits a crime, yet is able to roam freely and travel the world, a demonic being who slaughters living beings and enjoys all that I can get. I not only want to slaughter gods but also humanity".

"Reed do you understand now? This is my nature, demonic nature"!. Wanda's words shattered Reed's hope.

"Reed you don't have to feel sad for them. They drag their broken and tired bodies through cesspool of suffering everyday just to please their rich overlords for some leftover crumbs".

Wanda's voice was cold and indifferent,"They live in the illusion that they are free, they think there are no kings and queens ruling over them anymore, in fact nothing has changed "

"Even now only select few enjoy all the luxuries of the world while the majority slave away till their death".

"This kind of miserable life,hehehe, it is good that they died, it is fabulous that they died", a soft laughter escaped Wanda's lips.

At the moment Melanie's heart was filled with admiration for her Lord, her words echoing in her mind.

Pietro was a little uncomfortable after hearing what Wanda said.

"Even if that is the case, what you did was wrong Wanda", Reed said resolutely.

Wanda heaved a sigh, " Right,wrong,Love and friendship,this that, don't you all find this very boring"?.

"Mr Reed go and rest, think about what I said", Wanda said calmly.

When a good person's morals leaves their heart they can break any taboo they once had. They can inflict unimaginable suffering to achieve their goals.

And Mr fantastic wasn't immune to this phenomena as seen when one of his variants becomes the maker.

Mr fantastic turned around absentmindedly walked out of the throne room. He was doubting if he made the right choice by following the scarlet witch.

As for feeling guilty, he didn't feel much of it, afterall even if he didn't make Celeste Wanda could travel to other universes on her own. It will only delay the inevitable.

After seeing Reed leave the room Pietro turned his head towards Wanda, "was it really necessary, I mean that world, did it truly deserve it"?

" Did it deserved it or not, you will find out in your own in the future", Wanda rubbed her temples, "now go and let me rest".

Pietro left the room after hearing Wanda's ambiguous answer.

Only Melanie and Wanda were left in the room. Next Wanda told Melanie about herself and what duties she had to fulfill in the future.

After they were done talking they turned into purple and red light respectively that scattered like group of fireflies before finally disappearing.

The next day, everyone was in the throne room except Mr fantastic.

"Pietro did you see were Reed went"?, Wanda asked nonchalantly.

" Well he told me he will stay outside today to cool of his head and decide what to do next ", said Pietro while sitting next to Melanie.

Wanda nodded, " Since Mr fantastic is not here today, i will start Celeste on his stead"

Wanda raised her right hand, red blade like shinny threads stuck out from her finger tips and attached themselves to the machine.

Soon the Celeste started operating. After the machine started in earnest Wanda dispersed her threads.
