I Am in Marvel with Unlimited Cards

I have finished translating this fanfic, IMUC (I Am In Marvel With Unlimited Cards) and have posted all the advanced chapters on Patreon. (/c/marvel6395). You can read all the advanced chapters there.

Sokovia continued to ascend rapidly, rising from hundreds to thousands of meters in the sky. The scorching sunlight beamed down, and cold winds swept through the streets and alleys.

While the Avengers were engaged in an intense battle with the Ultron Regiment in the inner city, the outer areas were shaking uncontrollably. Buildings were teetering on the verge of collapse, and the outer edges of the city began to crumble. Local residents, chased by Ultron Soldiers, screamed in terror as they tried to flee.

A group of disheveled residents, protecting their children, were retreating from the city when suddenly, two Ultron Soldiers blocked their path. As the Soldiers raised their arms to fire light cannons, the residents' faces turned pale. They threw themselves backward, shielding their children with their bodies.

Just as the light cannons were about to hit, a crimson figure descended from the sky. With a wave of her pale hands, Wanda created a red mist that formed a protective shield, dissolving the incoming blasts. 

Wanda waved her hands again, and the red energy formed into a ball that destroyed the Ultron Soldiers in front of her. She turned to the residents and said, "It's okay now, but you need to leave here quickly!"

"Thank you, but where can we go?" One of the residents asked, tearfully.

Wanda remained silent. Indeed, the city was now thousands of meters above the ground. No matter where they fled, it would only delay their inevitable fate. There was no true escape, no path to hope.

But for now, this was all she could do.

As Wanda stood in a daze, a few more Ultron Soldiers charged toward her. Before they could reach her, a fast-moving figure knocked them all to the ground in quick succession.

A gust of wind-carrying sand blew past as Pietro appeared beside Wanda. He squinted at the devastation around him— buildings reduced to rubble, mindlessly attacking Ultron Soldiers, and terrified residents running for their lives.

Taking a deep breath, Pietro clenched his teeth. "Wanda, this isn't working. No matter how fast I run, I can't save them all."

Wanda remained silent. She looked at a little girl shivering in a corner and felt the cold despair emanating from her. The sight reminded her of her own childhood— dark and hopeless.

But now, she had the power to be their hope.

"If I can save even one person, I will. As long as there are people in this city, I'm not leaving," Wanda said, her voice filled with resolve. Her body, surrounded by red mist, began to float, defying gravity.

Pietro shook his head, sighing with a smile. "Can't say no to you, can I?" In truth, he shared her determination.

At that moment, a strange sound— loud neighing and galloping— came from the sky.

"What the…?" Pietro stopped, looking up with Wanda toward the source of the sound.

From the distant edge of Sokovia's high skies, a mysterious green-flamed creature, wielding a broken axe, rode a towering horse engulfed in fire. It galloped into the outer city, landing on a highway opposite the twins.

The fiery horse charged forward, crushing two Ultron Soldiers beneath its burning hooves, the black flames melting their metal bodies. The green-flamed giant on horseback swung its axe, wrapped in chains, creating a whirlwind of destruction that caused the Ultron Soldiers were shredded to pieces in its path.

After clearing half of the street, the green-flamed giant glanced at the twins from about thirty meters away. It exuded a terrifying aura, as though it existed on a higher plane, and its gaze alone weighed heavily on them. Wanda raised her hands defensively, red mist swirling around her fingers, ready for anything.

Pietro's face turned pale, and he quietly grabbed Wanda's arm, prepared to speed away if necessary.

But as the green-flamed giant noticed the card peeking out from Wanda's coat pocket, its hostility faded. Without a word, it rode its flaming horse away to another street.

"What… what was that?" Pietro exhaled in relief after the creature left.

"I don't know. As long as it's not our enemy, that's all that matters," Wanda replied, touching the half-exposed Devil Card in her coat pocket.

"Wanda, look!" Pietro pointed, and Wanda followed his gaze.

In the streets and alleys, mysterious figures dressed in black battle suits and wearing masks moved swiftly, carrying swords, axes, or high-tech sniper rifles. 

These black-clad warriors were agile, leaping from rooftops like special forces or ninjas, but their physical abilities were clearly beyond human limits. They darted through the city, killing Ultron Soldiers and quickly rescuing stranded children, reuniting them with their families.

Wanda used her powers to float higher, landing on a building twenty meters above the ground. From this vantage point, she could see the black-clad warriors spreading out across the city, providing reinforcements and guiding the residents toward the edge of the city.

 Beyond that edge, two massive Helicarriers approached Sokovia— one bearing SHIELD's silver eagle emblem, the other displaying the black Devil Insignia of the Carl Family.

"It's SHIELD and the Supernatural Incident Bureau. They've come to help," Wanda thought of Kyle as he left earlier. Only he could summon reinforcements from both factions.

With a swish, a female black-clad warrior landed on the rooftop next to Wanda. Upon seeing the Devil Card pinned to Wanda's coat and recognizing her face, the woman relaxed, removing her hand from her sword. "You're Miss Wanda, right?"

"Who are you?" Wanda asked, surprised.

"Still working, so I can't give my name. Just know that I'm part of the new generation of Cardinals," the female warrior shrugged.

"Cardinals?" Wanda repeated in confusion.

The woman nodded. "Yes, Cardinals. The combat members of the Carl Family. Lorna's one too; she's mentioned you before."

"I see…" Wanda murmured in understanding.

"Alright, no time to chat. You're part of the Carl Family now, so we'll see each other again soon," The warrior said with a wave. She was about to jump off the roof when Wanda stopped her.

The woman turned back, puzzled, as Wanda pointed to herself and firmly said, "I'm not part of the Carl Family."

"Yeah, right," The warrior scoffed, pointing to the card on Wanda's chest. "Take a look at the design on your Devil Card."

"The design?" Wanda pulled the card from her pocket and finally saw it clearly— it was a King card.

The Devil Card.
