Chapter 24 - Scarlet Abyss

This is a space with no color other than scarlet. 

The stars, the sun, the moon, and even the universe all appear scarlet.

A series of scarlet light pillars reaching the sky and the earth were projected from the unknown depths, some as thick as the stars and some as thin as a human waist.

Looking carefully again, Locke couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In each scarlet light pillar, there is a very familiar hot figure and a blood-red witch costume. 

They are all Scarlet Witch, Wanda!

All of these Wandas are wrapped in scarlet light pillars.

The thinner the scarlet light pillars, the more immature and weak the Scarlet Witch inside is. 

The thicker the scarlet light pillar, the more mature and powerful it is. 

The thickest scarlet light pillar is like a galaxy.

There is a super Scarlet Witch with extremely terrifying power that can destroy everything in the starry sky in an instant.

However, even if it is terrifying to that extent, it cannot escape the shroud of the scarlet light pillar at all and even begins to be gradually pulled into the end of the pillar that seems to be able to swallow everything!

Locke took a subtle breath. Even if it was his first time here, he probably had some guesses about this place.

The place where the soul will be swallowed up, and just by seeing this scene, he's 100% sure it's related to Chthon, the legendary god of black magic.

In the Marvel world, among the powerful people who are clearly recognized as multi-existences, the five gods have projections and duplications in every branch universe, and Chthon, the Dark Dimension god who has always been recognized as a multi-existence, the projection itself made Locke once think that the guy was on another path.

Now, he understands that Chthon's choice is different from that of the five gods.

He uses every Wanda as food to nourish himself.

Every Wanda with chaos magic is a seed. As chaos magic continues to become stronger and deeper, it will be more and more controlled by the chaos magic until it is finally completely swallowed by Chthon and turned into his nourishment. 

Locke looked up at the scarlet light pillar that also appeared above him, and his expression condensed.

"The owners of Chaos magic are all seeds planted by Chthon. The reality is more terrifying than I imagined. Fortunately, I made extra preparations."

Locke sat casually on the ground and began to scream with his heart as he called for Tom.

One, two, three…

After just three calls, Locke heard a familiar meow. 

The next moment, a cat suddenly emerged from Locke's chest.

Holding Tom in his arms, Locke finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Tom looked around with confusion and curiosity. 

He also curiously stretched out his claws and scratched the scarlet light pillar that enveloped Locke.

"Tom, stop playing; the situation is very dangerous now!"

"Shrouded in this beam of scarlet light pillar, it won't be long before I'm completely devoured by a Dark Dimension god!"

"Tom, help me think of a way to cut off this beam of scarlet light pillar."

Tom suddenly fell into thinking. He had never done this kind of thing before, and he didn't know what to do.

Locke did not disturb Tom's contemplation. 

With Tom's 100% goodwill to Locke, Tom would definitely help with this kind of crisis that threatened Locke's life.

As long as Tom sincerely gave his full help, he would definitely find a way.

After thinking for a while, Tom jumped down and came to a pillar of light. He turned left and right, then he suddenly opened his mouth wide and took a bite of the scarlet light pillar.

Click!

The sound was extremely clear in this scarlet space, which was as silent as the abyss. 

The Scarlet Witches, who were very close to Locke, didn't know whether it was because they didn't have enough ability or because their five senses were blocked by the surrounding scarlet light pillar. 

In short, they didn't have much reaction. On the contrary, the one who had been roaring all along, the super scarlet witch with the most terrifying strength, stopped suddenly and looked around in confusion.

Locke slapped Tom on the head who seemed to be savoring it: "Don't be slow to swallow, Tom, hurry up! Otherwise something bad will happen!"

Tom groaned, nodded, and continued to nibble one bite at a time.

He kept biting the fragrant and crispy scarlet light pillar.

At this moment, the most powerful super Scarlet Witch has successfully locked onto the target. 

From confusion at first to finally being stunned and then completely sluggish.

Seeing that the beam of light around Locke was about to break completely after being chewed out by the weird and incomprehensible cat-shaped life form, the stunned super Scarlet Witch couldn't hold it any longer and began to control the terrifying power in her body. 

Chaos magic, waves of crazy attack charge into Locke's direction.

However, even though she was powerful enough to shake the galaxy, she was completely unable to do anything about the scarlet light pillar around her. 

She could only watch helplessly as the cat-shaped life form took its last bite and completely chewed up the scarlet light pillar.

The gnawed fragments of scarlet light pillar around Locke instantly turned into pure chaos magic, and all of them sank into his body.

Before he could feel the surge of power in his body, Locke had a clear feeling that he could leave this Scarlet Abyss.

Without any hesitation, Locke picked up Tom and left decisively.

The moment he left was the complete madness of the super Scarlet Witch behind him and the intermittent voice that reached Locke's ears.

"I will find you! I will!"
