Although the yellow laser was fierce, Bai Qi had already noticed it. He tilted his head, easily dodging the incoming laser, and then waved his large hand. A heavy psychic force surged out, a reply to the sneak attack.
Under Bai Qi's relentless psychic suppression, the attacker was pinned to the ground. Even though he tried with all his might to stand up, he remained immobile.
As Bai Qi approached and saw the attacker's face, he immediately understood.
"Isn't this Ultron? Why are you so weak after a few days?"
Alright, no more jokes.
Unlike the main world, the Mind Stone was intercepted by Bai Qi when Loki brought it to Earth. Along with the Space Stone, it was stored within Bai Qi. Stark couldn't even get a glimpse, and with Bai Qi's deliberate concealment, he probably never even heard of it. Thus, creating something like Ultron or Vision was a pipe dream.
But this world was different. If not for the interference of the quantum virus, this world would have proceeded according to the original plot.
However, none of that was important now.
If Vision had quietly left after noticing Bai Qi's arrival instead of attacking, Bai Qi might not have discovered him, causing some trouble for Bai Qi's search for the Infinity Stones. But now, since Vision had delivered the stone right to his mouth, Bai Qi was more than happy to accept it.
As Bai Qi approached Vision, preparing to reach for the Mind Stone embedded in his forehead, Vision, who had been kneeling motionlessly on the ground, suddenly surged with power. He stood up abruptly and punched Bai Qi. Simultaneously, the Mind Stone on his forehead released a yellow laser once again.
"This... how is this possible!"
Vision's fist, which could penetrate steel, struck Bai Qi but couldn't inflict even the slightest damage, giving the feeling of a mantis trying to stop a chariot. And his laser beam.
The laser shot from the Mind Stone did indeed inflict considerable damage, even piercing directly through the opponent's chest. But the next moment, the pierced chest healed at a visible speed. While Vision was still immersed in shock, the wound on his chest had already healed.
"So, you might as well be honestly defeated by me."
Bai Qi stomped on the just-risen Vision, pushing him back to the ground. One foot pinned Vision down, restricting his movement, while the other hand grabbed Vision's arm and pulled forcefully.
*Rip!*
Vision's vibranium arm was torn off by Bai Qi.
Bai Qi's minor punishment didn't deter Vision's will to resist. Seeing how disobedient the guy was, Bai Qi struck again, tearing off Vision's other arm and tossing it aside like trash.
After having both arms ripped off consecutively, the previously lively Vision became much more subdued.
But just as Bai Qi reached out to pry the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead, two red magical orbs broke through the airplane hangar behind and shot directly towards Bai Qi.
Fortunately, Bai Qi had sensed the magical fluctuations beforehand. Just as the two magic orbs were about to hit him, Bai Qi suddenly turned and slashed at the air.
*Rip!*
With a sound like tearing cloth, the two magic orbs were instantly split into more than a dozen pieces and completely dissipated.
Just after Bai Qi dispersed the incoming magic orbs, the airplane hangar exploded, and a female zombie clad in a red leather suit, enveloped in red magical fluctuations, slowly rose from the burning hangar.
Damn it, how could he have forgotten about this person?
This female zombie who blew up the airplane hangar was none other than Vision's former lover, the formidable Wanda Django Maximoff, who single-handedly opened the gateway to the multiverse.
Bai Qi glanced at Vision, whose lips were slightly curved upwards, then at the menacing zombie Wanda. It went without saying that this zombie Wanda was definitely Vision's backup plan. Seeing that he couldn't defeat Bai Qi, he unleashed this monster.
Although Wanda had now become a brainless zombie, her love for Vision remained steadfast. Sensing that Vision was being harmed by Bai Qi, she went berserk and charged out, ready to fight Bai Qi to the death.
"Alright, let me see how powerful this so-called Chaos Magic truly is."
After shoving the armless Vision into the ground and casting two magical seals on him, Bai Qi confidently charged towards the zombie Wanda.
Wanda, possessing Chaos Magic, had not yet cultivated the Darkhold. Her use of Chaos Magic was very primitive. Perhaps she used to employ more elaborate spells, but now, as a zombie with limited brain capacity, her only offensive method was the massive discharge of Chaos Magic.
This primitive combat style might be effective against ordinary mages, at least in terms of overwhelming them with the quality and quantity of magic.
But now, she was facing Bai Qi. In terms of both the quality and quantity of magical power within him, as well as his mastery of magic, he far surpassed Wanda.
Not to mention that Bai Qi was currently facing a zombie with little sanity left.
After several magical clashes, Bai Qi seized an opportunity, rushed in front of Wanda, and unleashed a searing dragon's breath at close range. If not for the Chaos Magic within Wanda canceling out most of the damage, she would have been reduced to ashes by now.
However, even with the protection of Chaos Magic, Wanda's body was still severely burned. Both her legs and one arm were gone, and her golden hair was completely incinerated, leaving not a single strand.
The heavily wounded zombie Wanda let out an angry roar at Bai Qi. Bai Qi responded with a heavy stomp on her chest, sending her crashing back to the ground, embedding her deep within the earth.
Before the zombie Wanda could climb out of the pit, Bai Qi was already upon her, stomping her back into the ground again.
After a brief exchange, Bai Qi also became interested in the Chaos Magic within Wanda.
He restricted the zombie Wanda's mobility, forcing her to only use Chaos Magic to attack him.
The zombie Wanda had completely descended into madness. Seeing her body restricted, she unleashed a torrent of Chaos Magic towards Bai Qi without hesitation.
Looking at the overwhelming Chaos Energy rushing towards him, Bai Qi's lips curved into a victor's smile.
Indeed, compared to intelligent opponents, zombies who fought purely on instinct were far too easy to deal with.
Bai Qi caught the Chaos Magic and immediately activated his Timepiece to decipher it.
Vision, standing nearby, was stunned. He knew nothing of the Timepiece. All he saw was that Bai Qi, who had been injured by Chaos Magic before, was now like a dry sponge, greedily absorbing the Chaos Magic released by the zombie Wanda.
