Ch: 216 [Wanda vs Corrupted Wanda]

"Two simple questions for you two. Why didn't you use the timestone to restore things back? I can sense the power of Time Stone and two other infinity stones. And why didn't Wanda use her reality manipulation power to change reality?" I asked calmly.

"That's two questions," the alternate me sneered. "But I guess I'll answer anyway. You see, it's not like we didn't want to fix things. It's that..." He brought out the Eye of Agamotto, a gem glowing with the light of the Time Stone. "The Ancient One sealed it before her death. With the stone sealed, neither of us could use its power to fix things. And as far as reality manipulation goes, Wanda wasn't strong enough so our only choice was the Darkhold," he explained, motioning towards Wanda.

"But as you can see," Corrupt Wanda flew down and landed softly on the ground. "We weren't strong enough to contain its power. We are the most powerful beings on this planet, but even we can't control it fully. So, we did the next best thing. Erase all happiness from this world. I mean, why must everyone live happily while we the saviors of this world must suffer? It's unfair," she continued, her eyes narrowing.

"And now you're here. After all this time... We can finally end you and take your place!" The alternate me laughed as he cracked his knuckles. "After all, we deserve to live happily too, don't you think?" Then he clenched his right fist and the nanites spread over his body forming a nanite armor. On his fist was a replica of the Infinity Gauntlet with two stones. One looked like the Power Stone and the other one was no doubt the Mind Stone.

"What about the rest of the Infinity Stones?" I asked as I activated my suit. It was the Symbiote Suit that Tony made for me.

"Gone. All thanks to that bitch. That motherfucking Ancient One... ARGGG!!! How dare that bitch throw those precious gems in upper dimensions and seal off the route. I tried, you see... She said rules. I broke her fingers, and arms, ripped out her ears, and gouged out her eyes, yet that bitch refused to tell me the location or unseal this piece of shit. In the end, I could only make the gauntlet. Now that you're here... We can finally use them," the corrupted Peter explained as he glanced at Wanda.

"Now let's see how much stronger you two are compared to us," he smirked as he raised his right hand, the two stones glowing ominously.

"Peter, you deal with yourself, I'll deal with my other self," Wanda said as her crimson energy swirled around her.

I nodded. "Got it."

...

[3rd Person POV]

The two Wandas faced each other, their crimson energies crackling with a fierce intensity that painted the ruined landscape in shades of red and black. With a flick of her wrist, the alternate Wanda sneered, flinging a bolt of scarlet energy toward Wanda, who deftly deflected it, sending sparks scattering across the wasteland.

"You can't stop me," the corrupt Wanda growled. "I've embraced the darkness. I am chaos incarnate."

Wanda met her gaze with an unwavering calm, though her eyes gleamed with fierce determination. "Then I'll show you how far I'll go to protect what I love."

But the corrupted Wanda grinned, her eyes flashing with a sinister glint. "If you think a few mirrors will hold me back, then you're in for a surprise."

With a powerful scream, she shattered the glass prison, shards flying in every direction like deadly projectiles. Wanda deflected them with a quick motion, redirecting the shards back at her opponent. The corrupted Wanda raised a shield, but a few shards broke through, slicing across her cheek, leaving trails of dark energy that sizzled against her skin.

The cut only seemed to enrage her further. Her crimson aura intensified, spilling out in wild tendrils that twisted and clawed at the very fabric of the Mirror Dimension, forcing cracks to ripple across the reflective surfaces.

The Mirror Dimension itself seemed to tremble under the strain of her power. Wanda gritted her teeth and steadied herself, focusing her energy on keeping the dimension from shattering entirely. But her corrupted counterpart took advantage of the distraction, flinging herself at Wanda with ruthless determination.

They clashed mid-air, a storm of red energy erupting between them as their chaos magic collided, each trying to overpower the other. For a moment, it was an even struggle, but Wanda found herself being pushed back, her opponent's raw, unfocused rage giving her an edge in sheer force.

Wanda gritted her teeth, refusing to back down. Using the momentum of her opponent against her, she skillfully twisted away. She quickly grabbed the corrupted Wanda's arm and threw her to the ground, where she landed with a loud bang that sent shockwaves through the Mirror Dimension.

The mirrors shattered, sending waves of shards all over the place.

The corrupted Wanda struggled to her feet, her crimson energy flickering erratically. Her eyes glowed in rage as she glared at Wanda. She was already drowning in the dark power. "I'll destroy everything you love," she yelled. "And then I'll tear your world apart."

Wanda's gaze softened, filled with a sorrowful understanding. "You don't have to be this way."

Her words seemed to cut through the corrupted Wanda's rage, if only for a moment. But then her alternate self screamed like a mad person, rejecting the compassion with a scornful laugh. "Weakness," she spat, raising her hand to summon the Darkhold. The spellbook hovered before her, pulsing with dark energy.

"Weakness?" Wanda made an intricate hand sign in the air. A beam of golden light shot from her palm, almost drowning the entire mirror dimension. A golden book appeared as the golden light simmered. It was the Book of the Vishanti that The Ancient One gave her. "Let's see who's truly weak."
