- In Marvel: I Start by Marrying Scarlett Witch [Complete]
- MWM Chapter 391
One week after Agatha’s attack.
As Leo stepped into the enclosed space of the cabinet, he couldn’t help but marvel when he saw Wanda, who was floating in the air, violently pulling with both hands. The vibranium and uru armor in front of him was twisted into nothing but scrap metal by the red chaotic energy.
“If Thanos came to Earth now, I wouldn’t even need to make a move. Wanda would probably crush him instantly,” Leo thought.
Ever since Agatha started guiding Wanda in magic, her mastery of chaos magic had grown more formidable by the day.
Honestly, if he wasn’t worried about the uncontrollable consequences of bringing Wanda to 2023, he believed that with Wanda’s current power, she alone could help him achieve his high-level goals without much effort.
“Let’s see how effective my spiritual energy converter is!”
Shifting his gaze from Wanda, Leo pulled out a small, square block and tossed it onto the ground.
“Grow bigger!”
With a wave of his hand, the small block instantly expanded into a glass cube roughly four meters wide.
This glass cube was no ordinary object; it was a spiritual energy converter developed jointly by scientists from the Auger Corporation and Earth. It could transform the high-intensity energy cells produced by the Sovereign Empire into spiritual energy, concentrating it inside the glass cube to create a highly concentrated spiritual environment.
According to Banner’s calculations, one high-intensity Sovereign energy cell could sustain the cube at full power for a year. And Leo, having drained all of the Sovereign Empire’s reserves, had taken nearly two hundred high-intensity energy cells, which could power the glass cube for two hundred years at full capacity.
The Sovereign Empire was just a pawn created by the High Evolutionary. Now that Leo had defeated the High Evolutionary and taken control of the Auger Corporation, the Sovereign Empire naturally belonged to him as well.
He stepped into the glass cube, pressed the start button, and set the intensity to one.
Moments later, the familiar spiritual energy began to fill the cube. Sitting cross-legged to meditate for a while, Leo found that the concentration at the first level was already comparable to that of the world of *Legends of Zu Mountain*.
When he adjusted the intensity to level two, the concentration of spiritual energy exceeded that of Xiaozhushan. At level three, it was slightly less than Emei Mountain. At level four, the concentration was twice that of Emei Mountain.
At the maximum level of five, the spiritual energy reached an astounding fivefold increase. This meant that cultivating at full power for a year in this cube was equivalent to five years on Emei Mountain.
The result brought a wide smile to Leo’s face.
“Scientific cultivation really has limitless potential!”
With this spiritual energy converter, reaching the Nascent Soul stage was within reach.
“Twenty-six days from now, the main mission will begin. Now that the spiritual energy converter is complete, it’s time to take care of things in the *Naruto* world.”
After cultivating for more than an hour and confirming that the converter’s effect was indeed impressive, Leo stored it away and opened the interface to enter the *Naruto* world.
The Three-Tails would reappear in three years, and without entering the *Naruto* world, he wouldn’t be able to obtain the Divine Tree’s fruit. However, instead of setting the timeline for three years, he set it for three months first.
In three months, he planned to return and check in on the wizarding world to ensure there were no problems with the Wizarding Empire.
With four years of time available in his current small world, he planned to unify the entire shinobi world as quickly as possible and build a shinobi empire just like he had done with the Wizarding Empire.
In the blink of an eye, Leo once again arrived in the *Naruto* world, standing in the Hokage’s office in Konoha Village.
Leaving behind a shadow clone to handle the village’s affairs, his real body disappeared in a flash.
When he reappeared, he stood atop a high tower in Amegakure, surrounded by rain.
“Leader!”
Nagato, now fully recovered thanks to the Extremis Virus, greeted him respectfully upon noticing Leo’s arrival.
Leo nodded and asked, “How’s the progress on the hundred thousand White Zetsu?”
“Almost complete,” Nagato replied.
Hearing this, Leo patted Nagato on the shoulder.
“Then let’s begin our plan to unify the shinobi world.”
White Zetsu was a biological creation made by Madara using the life force of the Gedo Statue and his own cells. Although they were considered cannon fodder in the Fourth Great Ninja War and weren’t particularly powerful, they had numbers on their side, could perfectly transform, and could even use Wood Release.
Had it not been for Naruto’s ability to sense malice, the White Zetsu army would have caused significant trouble for the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Leo intended to use this army of a hundred thousand White Zetsu to unify the shinobi world.
However, unlike Obito, he wasn’t foolish enough to challenge the entire shinobi world under the banner of the Akatsuki and make enemies of all the shinobi. That was how Obito’s plans ultimately failed.
Leo would launch the Fourth Great Ninja War under the name of Amegakure, steering the conflict towards a free-for-all among the five great nations, as in the Second and Third Great Ninja Wars.
This way, he wouldn’t become the common enemy of all.
In the original story, there were about eighty thousand allied shinobi during the Fourth Great Ninja War. Excluding Konoha, this meant that the remaining villages could only muster around sixty to seventy thousand shinobi combined.
When these six or seven thousand shinobi inevitably started fighting amongst themselves over the interests of their villages, Nagato, with Itachi and other healthy Akatsuki members, would lead a hundred thousand White Zetsu and the Amegakure shinobi to defeat them one by one without much difficulty. Especially with Leo working behind the scenes.
As long as the Sage of the Six Paths didn’t return or Kaguya Ōtsutsuki wasn’t released, neither Madara nor the First Hokage could defeat him, even if they teamed up.
The only things that concerned him were the mysterious Three Great Sacred Lands and those deities of unknown power.
However, Leo believed that as long as he wasn’t aiming to carry out something as destructive as the Infinite Tsukuyomi, unifying the shinobi world shouldn’t be too problematic.
After all, unifying the shinobi world was ultimately for the betterment of humanity.
“Nagato, remember, our goal is to unify the shinobi world, to bring an end to war and hatred. So, whenever possible, we should capture rather than kill, even if it means sacrificing more White Zetsu. Do you understand?”
Before leaving, Leo gave Nagato a final reminder.
The purpose of launching the Fourth Great Ninja War was to ensure that ninjutsu could develop in a better direction in the future, not to kill people. Too much death would breed hatred, and that would hinder the unified world’s progress.
As for White Zetsu, it didn’t matter if they died. They were expendable.
“Understood, Leader!”
Nagato watched as Leo disappeared into the distance, silently marveling to himself.
“As expected, the Leader’s true goal is for the eternal peace of the shinobi world, not out of personal ambition.”
If it were ambition, Leo wouldn’t have ordered them to capture as many as possible rather than kill. After all, capturing was much harder than killing.
