Chapter 253 Scarlet Witch's Disciple VS Cancerous Scarlet Witch

As Rune unfolded the mirror dimension, Raven also looked around and began searching for his enemies.

While Fiendfire is indeed a good helper for clearing out miscellaneous things, this is only for heroes and ordinary people who know nothing about magic and do not have cosmic energy in their bodies. However, those who have cosmic energy in their bodies or have a certain understanding of magic can avoid Fiendfire's attacks in various ways.

A prime example of this is Scarlet Witch and Strange from the Cancer Universe.

Raven naturally volunteered to fight alongside Strange from the normal universe against these two mages who were immune to Fiendfire spells.

"Hey kid, this place is very dangerous!" Sandman said from the side. But don't get me wrong. Although Sandman is not a bad person by nature and has even joined the Avengers, the Sandman who picks up the giant snake hammer is not the kind of nice guy that everyone usually thinks of.

The hammer's most important purpose is to make its wielder loyal to the serpent and spread fear. Therefore, no matter how good the wielder's character was before, they will become violent and cruel after picking up the hammer. So when the Sandman said this, he wasn't really concerned about the raven, but rather trying to frighten her.

But Raven paid no heed to the Sandman's threats. She simply approached Strange in the normal universe, then looked with a complex expression at the Red Woman from the other, cancerous universe. To her, she was someone both familiar and strange. This Wanda from the cancerous universe hadn't yet become a twisted monster, and she was dressed very provocatively, wearing a red bodysuit, high boots, and gloves, along with a red horned tiara and a red cape.

Seeing that the unfamiliar little girl ignored him, Sandman snorted and turned to rest, completely ignoring the Sorcerer Supreme who was still dueling with the cancerous Strange and the Scarlet Witch who was eyeing him menacingly.

Strange frowned. The girl didn't look like an adult at all. He muttered to himself, "Sending a little girl into this dimensional war, burdening her with psychological problems—is this how the Runes operate?"

Strange wasn't exaggerating; the psychological problems of superheroes are actually quite serious. The deaths of hostages, the sacrifice of comrades, and the betrayal of the military—these may sound like minor issues, but they are actually very heavy. These issues can cause superheroes to suffer from all sorts of mental illnesses after the war, not to mention that some heroes already have mental illnesses—such as Dr. Banner.

If Doctor Strange knew that Rune was also accompanied by an underage Superman, I wonder what he would think.

Raven was very unhappy with Doctor Strange's questioning. She glared at him and then faced Scarlet Witch head-on. The Sandman's departure also made Doctor Strange sigh; he sincerely hoped that the underage girl Rune had brought would be of some use.

Perhaps because the arrival of the raven distracted Doctor Strange, the cancerous universe Strange used teleportation to break free of Cyttorak's scarlet chains and then released the form of Ekorn, which split into countless Stranges.

"You're dead—"

Before the words were even finished, the raven unleashed its dark magic directly at the cancerous Strange. In mid-air, this magic transformed into countless ravens, rushing towards the Stranges. Almost every raven could instantly destroy a clone, and some even flew into the air and self-destructed, the countless black feathers scattered by the explosion shooting towards other clones.

In just a few seconds, Strange's attack from the cancerous universe was completely neutralized. Clearly, the magical talent of the Third Princess had been fully realized. She had long understood the dark magic within her body and no longer resisted using it. With Rune's enlightenment and the Scarlet Witch's in-depth teaching, Raven's strength had unknowingly allowed her to easily neutralize the attack of the Sorcerer Supreme from a weak universe.

"Wow," Doctor Strange from the normal universe blinked. Yes, that's right, a minor girl easily neutralized his own magic from another universe. The arrogant Doctor could only say dryly, "Well done."

After demonstrating to the horse-faced Doctor Strange that she wasn't so weak, Raven turned to Scarlet Witch. She formed hand seals, and countless black chains instantly appeared and flew towards Scarlet Witch, attempting to bind the witch of chaos.

"You shouldn't be here—you're too young," Scarlet Witch whispered, but to Raven's surprise, Wanda didn't use her powerful chaos magic to attack him. Instead, she adopted a passive defensive stance, which was quite intriguing.

Perhaps there's something more to it?

Raven was unaware, but she changed her logic in dealing with the Scarlet Witch of the cancerous universe—originally, Raven wanted to beat her until she lost her ability to move, but now she felt that as long as the other party surrendered, that would be enough.

"Surrender!" the raven urged, casting a spell as it did so.

Currently, Raven's fighting style bears some resemblance to runes. For example, her use of polymorph to transform dark magic into crows to attack the cancerous avatar of the Sorcerer Supreme is very runic. Of course, Raven also imitates the fighting style of her other teacher, the Scarlet Witch Wanda, such as her previous magical chains, and now—

Raven unleashed a barrage of magical shocks from its hands, each shock possessing a corrosive dark magic effect. Scarlet Witch, who previously used her seemingly limitless magical power to frequently unleash these shocks to suppress others, was now the victim of this very tactic. She really should look in the mirror; the new teacher's expression was truly priceless.

The raven thought it to be true.

"Do I know you? Or rather, do I from another universe know you?" Wanda questioned loudly. She was very familiar with her own tactics, but if it really was her, then the magical impact would have some other special effects.

Raven didn't want to say much; she simply nodded and said, "The other you are my teacher." However, she didn't relax the magical attack in her hands at all, after all, Wanda still had the energy to ask questions.

While Raven held a slight advantage in the battle against Wanda, the battle between the two Doctors Strange was quite different. Although the Vishanti, the main source of the normal Doctor Strange's magic, was almost unresponsive to his summons, and the source of the cancerous Doctor Strange's magic was right under his feet, this was not enough to bridge the gap in their strength.

Whether it's casting speed, spell power, or even close combat, the normal Doctor Strange is far superior to the Doctor Strange of the Cancer Universe. For a fragile sorcerer like him, the difference in casting speed and spell power can easily lead to a one-sided outcome in battle. For example, right now, the Doctor Strange of the Cancer Universe felt the pressure as soon as he first clashed with his other self, and after a few spells, he felt like he was about to die.

For a sorcerer, immortality is hardly an advantage. Strange, afflicted with cancer, had no choice but to seek help from Wanda, and Scarlet Witch teleported directly to Strange's side.

"Thank you—" Seeing his alter ego take two steps back, watching him warily, the cancerous Strange finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the Scarlet Witch. However, the next second, a hand emerged from his chest.
