Chapter 743 Everyone Goes Home, Everyone Finds Their Own Path
After Velasco was sent away, Strange opened a portal and brought everyone back to the New York Sanctum Sanctorum. Most of them sat in the restaurant chairs with little interest, marveling at the absurd scene that had just ended.
Strange smiled at the Midnight Children, whose names were not yet finalized: "Thank you all very much for your help. Our operation has come to a successful conclusion. I will gather you all again when we face Mephisto and have a showdown with him."
The group, resting in various positions, fell silent. After a moment, Iron Fist was the first to react, looking at Strange: "Isn't our mission this time to deal with Mephisto?"
"The reason we've gathered here is because of the contract with Mephisto, but I never said we were going to deal with Mephisto."
Strange vehemently denied it: "You need to know, Mephisto is an extremely cunning devil. When he didn't appear at Limbo with the Dark Corporation and Velasco, then I was certain he had achieved his goal."
"And a devil who has already achieved his goal, if I may be so bold, is someone we can never catch, unless we wait for his next conspiracy."
Elsa then looked at Strange: "So what is his purpose?"
Strange answered honestly, "I don't know."
A profound silence fell over the entire scene. Then, Iliana was the first to stand up and use her teleportation ability: "I have to hurry back. The dorm might close soon, and I didn't ask for leave in advance."
Wanda glanced curiously at Iliana, who was running away. "Don't you know how to teleport? Why are you still concerned about the dorm being locked?"
"I should probably head back too." Peter was the second to jump up. "It's only eight o'clock now, so I can still do a patrol and buy some late-night snacks while I'm at it."
Seeing yet another person she somewhat knew leave, Wanda quickly stood up: "I'd be happy to help again if something similar happens next time, though a little more trust would be even better."
"I'll have someone open the door to Kenosha for you. Thank you very much."
Strange couldn't help but admire the boy's politeness. He then looked at the others, as if to say, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"I'll come to Mephisto myself when he comes." These are the words of Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze.
"Next time I want double, no, triple." That's what Bloodstone Elsa said.
"I'll come if there's any real danger." That's what Iron Fist said.
"Don't call me next time either." That's what Blade said.
After the four men left, Moon Knight propped his legs up on the table, looked at Strange, and sighed, "Mark was right, you really are an idiot. And some of us were completely useless; what were we even doing here?"
"I need to know how much power I can muster to deal with a magical threat that the Avengers and other superheroes can't handle," Strange said, revealing some of his true feelings.
Moon Knight was silent for a moment, then put his leg down and stood up: "Mark and Jack are right, you really are a bastard."
In that instant, Strange began to wonder who was speaking to him, but he quickly stopped thinking about it. Finally, Strange looked at the Voodoo Doctor, who looked completely innocent: "What's wrong with you? Are you planning to leave with me? I'm a legitimate sorcerer."
"You're a Haitian voodoo shaman... but that's your profession, Your Majesty?"
"I live here."
"...I mean, find a guest room for the voodoo doctor."

When Iliana returned to the academy, it was already past nine o'clock. Of course, she didn't go straight back—like her roommate, Phantom Cat Katie, she didn't need a door at all; she could just teleport in.
As a pure-blooded Russian, she just used her powers to go to Russia. After all, she had destroyed the bar on the frontier, and in the United States, people under the age of 20 are not allowed to buy alcohol, and theoretically, they are not allowed to drink alcohol either.
Yeah, but drugs are allowed. What a strange country.
Then, on the way back, he drank and beat up a few thugs before finally returning to his dorm. Katie had already showered and was sitting on her bed looking at her computer. Seeing Iliana teleported back to her room, she smelled a strong odor of alcohol and instinctively looked up at her: "You've been drinking?"
"Hmm? Hmm, just don't tell my brother or anyone else. I'm going to take a shower. I'm exhausted today. I'll probably sleep like a log tomorrow."
Katie opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything and continued to work on her computer. After a while, Iliana, wearing a beige nightgown, lay down on the bed.
Strictly speaking, she only has half a soul now; the other half is still inside her sword. Because of this, she needs to spend time having Strange perform a magical ritual to complete her soul. Moreover, that other half of her soul is quite troublesome; it is the soul she had before being captured by Velasco.
The emptiness and tearing of her soul seemed to have no effect on any aspect of her life, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she would feel something was missing, and she couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing how tired Iliana was, Katie asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"I saved the whole world, little cat."
Katie was taken aback when she heard that.
"...Don't we always save the world?"
"What I mean is, just a few hours ago, I saved the world, and it was something unprecedented. I can't even share my feelings yet because they don't know what that thing is pressing down on the edge of hell..."
Katie replied casually as she typed, "So, it wasn't the X-Men or the new mutant team's operation, but the sorcerer's?"
"Um."
Who are they?
"Hmm... that little mustache wizard Strange, Spider-Man, Kenosha's little princess..."
Before Iliana could finish speaking, she heard Katie exclaim, "Peter?!" She couldn't help but roll her eyes, and as she got up to say something, she found that her entire bed was lit up.
That was her own ability, but Iliana was certain she hadn't used any mutant abilities.
The next instant, a burly female demon, over two meters tall and radiating intense heat, appeared in the room and brandished her greatsword at Iliana.
She has only one feeling right now.
"Depend on."
