Ch 390: Wasn’t That Death A Bit Too Easy?

If it were a complete Phoenix, it would be more like an energy being, similar to Aelios, slightly different from conceptual entities.

Conceptual entities have their own thoughts, while the Phoenix Force is more like a beast acting on instinct, without thought or excess emotion.

It has no concept of disgust, but the Dark Phoenix it spawned does.

So when Dark Phoenix smelled the foul odor on Wade, who was close at hand, she vomited due to an uncontrollable instinctive reaction!

The life force, like a waterfall hanging over a cliff, poured out of her mouth. Visibly, Dark Phoenix’s face paled considerably.

“Wow, she vomited more than she absorbed!” Ye Xiao, who had already dodged to the side, shook his head with emotion, giving Wade a thumbs-up. “That’s you, Wade!”

“Hey!” Even knowing Ye Xiao was being sarcastic, Wade, taking it as a compliment, shyly stuck out his tongue, mischievously acting cute, and said irrelevant things, “I can’t help it, my charm is that great. When my ex-wife divorced me, she tried her best to keep me. You know, her bathwater could sell for a fortune!”

“But who am I? I am the unrestrained Deadpool!”

“My ex-wife was so selfish! How could she monopolize me? What about all the other girls, young women, widows, and rich women who couldn’t have me?”

“How could I possibly give up the whole forest for one tree?”

“Someone like me is destined to be a treasure for beautiful women. Losing me would be a loss for all mankind!”

“But if an old woman, who is old and ugly but super, super rich, falls for you, what would you choose?” Even knowing the answer, Ye Xiao still wanted to hear Wade say it himself.

“I don’t allow you to talk about my old baby like that!” Wade was quite angry. “A person’s goodness, kindness, and beauty cannot be judged solely by age and appearance. It’s the heart that matters!”

“She wouldn’t spend money on you!” Ye Xiao added.

Immediately, Wade changed his expression, looking disgusted. “An old woman like her, an old hag with half her body in the ground, what good things does she want? Am I Wade, a man who would succumb to money? Her falling for me is like a toad wanting to eat a swan—a daydream!”

“That old woman is Raven!”

“I scorn money! Raven and I are true love. No matter what she becomes, I will never dislike her!” Wade became righteous, ignoring his appearance and the foul odor emanating from him. Just hearing him say this, it seemed like he was a very sentimental man.

But it was only seemingly so. The next second, the man pretending to be serious revealed his true colors!

“Boss!” Rubbing his hands, Wade winked. “Mystique in our world is dead. Can you resurrect her, but…”

“I understand what you mean!” Ye Xiao raised his hand to interrupt, and continued, “I will absolutely not tell anyone that I resurrected her, and you, my hero, you are the Marvel savior, you resurrected her. She will definitely be moved to tears and will repay you for the rest of her life as a cow or a horse!”

Wade froze, dissatisfied. “Why not this lifetime?”

“You’re ugly!” Xuexu muttered softly.

“Shut up!” Wade turned around and scolded, then turned to Ye Xiao complaining, “Boss, you said you would be wholeheartedly devoted. You already have Wanda, don’t snatch Mystique from me. If it doesn’t work, you can create one out of nothing. I heard from my internet buddies that new… uh uh uh?”

The words “Continent” were silenced by Ye Xiao’s snap. Wade’s face turned red, and he couldn’t say them.

“Having the ability to do something and using that ability recklessly are two different things!” Ye Xiao looked up, speaking meaningfully. “Know that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens. If you stay in a well for too long, you think that small space is the whole world, but in the eyes of others, you are just a clown!”

“The Joker’s here too?” Wade looked around, seemingly scared, hugging his arms. “Is that man who lives in the darkness here too? They are always together. They’re two grown men, ew, I’m not that disgusting!”

“He didn’t come, but those two are really inseparable!” Ye Xiao naturally knew who Wade was talking about. When mentioning the Joker, there’s always one person you can’t avoid: Batman!

Nicknamed Batman, his hidden identity is Bruce Wayne. His true identity is a pervert whose psychological distortion is comparable to the Joker’s.

To deal with the Joker, Batman deliberately infected himself with the Joker virus, hoping to achieve the same frequency as the Joker in brain circuits and thereby predict the Joker’s next move.

He is now alone in the Joker’s homeland, the Dark Multiverse, and it is unknown what preparations he is making. Even Butler Alfred, the only person he trusts, cannot contact him.

Let’s ignore this bat who loves to play hide-and-seek. Kang, who was peeping upstairs, was about to go crazy.

“What are you doing? What are you, all, doing?”

A moment ago, they were leisurely like they were shopping. Now, knowing he was watching secretly, they were still chatting casually?

Damn it!

Fight if you want to fight, otherwise, leave!

And you, Dark Phoenix, aren’t you arrogant and don’t put anyone in your eyes?

Don’t you consider everyone your food?

Absorb him, absorb him, suck him to death!

You absorbed so much just now, why did you vomit it all out now?

Do Phoenixes also suffer from indigestion, or did they simply overeat?

I’ve interacted with Deadpool before. I admit he’s smelly, but I can withstand that smell. You, Phoenix, even if incomplete, shouldn’t vomit like that, right?

And you two old guys, why are you not staying in your own world and coming here?

From a distance, and through the robot’s perspective, Kang thought that Professor X and the others were from the future of this world.

It’s not strange. The X-Men often travel through timelines. With their limited knowledge, they don’t understand the impact this behavior will have on the timeline. Hank, the Beast, is quite smart, but his understanding of time is only at a superficial level.

He thought that by promptly correcting the errors in time, it wouldn’t affect the future, or that under limited control, the future’s impact would develop for the better.

For example, if they couldn’t fight the Sentinel robots, they would use an alternative time-travel method to send Wolverine’s consciousness to the past to prevent the birth of the Sentinel robots.

Because the Sentinel robots were not born, the future calamities dissipated, and mutants did not suffer heavy casualties due to resisting the Sentinel robots. Mutants worldwide were reduced to one in ten.

But Kang knew clearly that this behavior could only deceive themselves, not time.

Because of time, several more parallel worlds were created because of their actions.

Why are there more mutants in the Void Land, and they don’t even know their charges?

That’s because they didn’t have charges in the first place. The moment they were sent into the Void Land, the world they belonged to was marked as a useless world.

Useless worlds are the worlds Aelios devours.

But Aelios’s devouring speed couldn’t keep up with the speed of new worlds being added, so he specifically created the time loop.

Although the time loop also serves as a backup plan for him, it’s undeniable that Aelios’s workload has indeed been reduced.

In repeated world resets, Kang himself had forgotten how many cycles he had experienced. He didn’t dare say he knew everyone in the world, but for some important figures, closing his eyes and just smelling their scent, Kang could accurately identify who was who.

Simply because of frequent contact, it’s hard to forget!

Upon close observation, Kang immediately recognized that Professor X and the others were not from his world, but from a new world—a parallel world that wasn’t part of the time loop but existed within the Sacred Timeline.

If he remembered correctly, under normal development, after Jean Grey wandered back from the universe, she didn’t stay on Earth for long. After saying goodbye to Professor X and the others, she flew into space.

The problem Professor X worried about had already happened. Humanity had already developed food targeting the mutant X-gene. Without special testing, it’s almost indistinguishable from normal food. Humans eating it wouldn’t be affected, only mutants. After eating it, the concentration of X-genes in their bodies would decrease. Mutants without awakened abilities would find awakening much harder.

And their descendants would not have the X-gene and would become ordinary people completely.

This special food had already spread widely.

By the time Professor X realized something was wrong, it was too late. He tried to use his psychic power to connect with all mutants to warn them, but he himself had eaten a lot of special food, and being old, his abilities were not what they used to be.

His warning not only failed, but it also triggered the senile dementia unique to the elderly. A psychic storm sweeping all mutants quietly occurred. Many mutants died in the storm without knowing what had happened.

Few mutants escaped.

The Sentinel robots, which had failed before, were surpassed by Professor X.

Perhaps this is the case of cause and effect. When something in the past is changed, a new crisis will arise in the future.

At this time, the human side became even more rampant. They no longer concealed it and openly posted notices offering rewards for mutants everywhere. Anyone who could provide clues would receive a reward.

Wolverine, who had gone into seclusion and intended to ignore the world, was forced to come out of hiding, and with Professor X, who had senile dementia, he lived a life of hiding.

Every day after that, they lived in escape until they died!

Wolverine’s corpse was buried in a desolate jungle. His body decayed, leaving only an Adamantium skeleton.

Uh… later, it was dug up by Deadpool who came there and used as a weapon.

Now his metal skeleton is still kept by Deadpool in a blind old lady’s rental room.

He always wanted to sell it, but he couldn’t remember when he didn’t see it, and when he remembered, he couldn’t find a buyer for a while.

This is the future of the world where the three were from, but their arrival here means that the future of their world will change again.

Kang disliked this change.

He was used to controlling all variables, used to spying on and arranging everyone’s fate, and hated things beyond his control.

Ye Xiao was like that, Deadpool was like that, and Professor X and the others were also like that!

“Come in!”

Kang slammed the table angrily.

He had set up many traps in the Prime Minister’s Office, and they were all activated. Robots were clearly useless. With Magneto, sending in any number of robots was pointless.

But these traps were not vegetarian. He dared to guarantee that as long as anyone stepped into the traps, there would be no chance of getting out.

The prerequisite was that these people would enter the Prime Minister’s Office!

Traps don’t move.

But this group of people stopped in front of the Prime Minister’s Office, damn it, they stopped right outside the traps, chatting about meaningless topics.

For a moment, Kang couldn’t tell if Ye Xiao and the others had noticed the traps or were just talking nonsense.

Kang, suffering from mental anguish, stood up. He wasn’t going to wait any longer.

“Whoosh!”

He opened the office window and leaned against it, shouting to Ye Xiao and the others below, “You bastards don’t get cocky! Don’t think robots are my trump card. I have more trump cards than you can imagine! I’ll be waiting for you here!”

Ye Xiao dug his ears, looking around in confusion. “Awe, didn’t you hear a dog barking?”

Wade, who was wrestling with a broken stick stuck in the ground, shook his head. “Did I? My ears are blocked with pus and blood, I can’t hear very well. There shouldn’t be, this area has been cordoned off, where would dogs come from?”

“Then maybe I heard wrong. I’m getting old, my hearing isn’t what it used to be, but my memory is still good. If I remember correctly, you still owe me two hundred dollars. When are you going to pay me back?”

“Huh?!” Wade pointed at himself, his eyebrows rising and falling. “I owe you money? Boss, you haven’t finished settling the mission commission yet. This is only our second meeting. Where did I owe you money?”

“You can’t attribute what future me will do to current me!”

“He embezzled a few of your dragons, go find him. If you really want to vent and can’t find a reason, well, this is a rather special era, little Sakura country is over there, why don’t you destroy little Sakura country.”

Bullet quickly protected Xuexu behind her, looking at Ye Xiao warily, her hand behind her back constantly gesturing to Cable.

Unfortunately, Cable kept his head down and didn’t see Bullet’s urgency.

Both of them wanted to go home.

“Snap!” Ye Xiao snapped his fingers. “It’s already destroyed, but what if I’m still angry?”

“He said he would treat you to a dance, I didn’t say anything! I’m so poor now I can’t even afford to eat!” Wade spread his hands, giving up. “Boss, if you like me, go ahead, but shouldn’t we go to Las Vegas to get a marriage certificate first?”

“I heard from my internet friends that Wanda is trying to temporarily modify the laws of the New Continent to be similar to Las Vegas. If you go back now, you’ll have several more brides. If you use strong-arm tactics, Mystique will also submit to you!”

“I’m wholeheartedly devoted!” Ye Xiao defended himself. “Besides, I didn’t agree! Moreover, it was Old Wang who insisted on marrying Wanda to me. As the saying goes, ‘a friend’s wife is not to be touched,’ how am I supposed to face Vision in the future?”

“Oh, it’s a different world, I believe Vision won’t mind!” Wade didn’t care, paused, then said incredulously, “Boss, you wouldn’t have fallen for Cassandra, would you? She’s a copy of Professor X. Oh~ you want to be Professor X’s brother-in-law?! In that case, Magneto has to call you brother-in-law, but you have to call Magneto father-in-law. Is this the legendary ‘separate accounts’?”

“High, it’s really high! Boss is truly the boss, playing with style!”

“Wait!” Magneto couldn’t help but ask, “Who is Wanda?”

“Wanda Maximoff, Quicksilver’s sister, your daughter in a parallel world, about twenty years old!” Reciting the information provided by his internet friends, Wade continued, “Cassandra, age unknown, Professor X’s sister in a parallel world, once tried to kill Professor X in the womb. Due to character design reasons, she failed. （This sentence doesn’t need to be read）. Uh? Who’s the good person who uses text for punctuation marks? Are you here to make trouble? Admin, quickly, kick him out!”

“Okay, everyone, listen carefully!” Clapping his hands, pretending he hadn’t said anything wrong, Wade, like a half-baked lecturer, lectured a group of inquisitive students on a rather unserious lesson. “Next, I will solemnly introduce my boss!”

“If I am the Marvel savior, then my boss is the savior of mutants. He says he’s not attracted to Wanda’s body, but in fact, he couldn’t resist Wanda’s temptation. On the condition of building a country for mutants, he successfully won the hearts of all female mutants.”

“With one sentence from my boss, all female mutants in the New Continent will line up and knock on my boss’s door.”

“What’s the New Continent?” Hearing the words “mutant nation-building,” Magneto’s eyes lit up like a hundred-watt light bulb. His gaze towards Ye Xiao became fervent.

However, since Ye Xiao didn’t say anything, just held his arms and watched Wade brag about his achievements, Magneto shifted his gaze to Wade.

At this time, never mind whether Wade was smelly or not. What Wade revealed was shocking.

Before, he only dared to dream of mutants having the same rights as ordinary people. He never thought that mutants could also have their own country. The difficulty was no less than Professor X having a brain cramp and saying he wanted to team up with him to fight humanity.

Others were also incredulous, even Cable, who had been hiding, raised his head.

“This classmate asks a good question!” First praising Magneto’s humble attitude of asking for advice, as if it were his own doing, Wade raised his head high, proudly saying, “The New Continent can also be called Mutant Nation, it’s the kingdom where mutants live!”

“Some classmates may have questions. The existing territory on Earth has been divided up by other countries. Where would there be unclaimed land to become the home of mutants?”

“Oh, you don’t understand. My boss has omnipotent and earth-shattering greatness. No unclaimed land is nothing, if there isn’t any, then create one!”

“So he waved his hand, and a new continent appeared out of thin air in the waters near China!”

“This continent is modeled after the USA. As for why the USA-style territory was chosen, we have to talk about the grudges between the USA and mutants. Since everyone is a mutant and knows the inside story, I won’t say it!”

The country that initially researched, took the lead in framing, and openly rejected mutants was the USA.

It can be said that mutants were reduced to almost being rats on the street, with no human rights. The USA is definitely the biggest culprit.

Magneto’s terrorist attacks were mostly in the USA.

“As for whether the Mutant Nation has the ability to protect itself after its establishment, you can rest assured. The mutants are now united, with no worries. Whoever dares to target the New Continent, they will fight back without hesitation, um, led by Old Wan!”

“Internationally, China was the first to establish diplomatic relations with the Mutant Nation and publicly recognized the legitimacy of the Mutant Nation. The infrastructure construction on the New Continent was also basically completed by China.”

“Later, countries allied with China also publicly stated their support for the mutant nation-building!”

“It has to be said that the mutants’ vision was too narrow before, and they always believed the media’s propaganda. They never thought that China, which in their eyes was very backward, not even as good as African countries, would be an existence that comprehensively surpasses other countries in both military and economic aspects, and is the undisputed overlord of the Earth!”

“In the mystical side, that is, the magician world, Kamar-Taj is the most staunch ally of the Mutant Nation. As for why, um, it’s probably because my boss is the boss of Kamar-Taj, also known as the Sorcerer Supreme!”

“Boss, I’ve praised you so much, can you stop Vishanti? It’s too painful!”

“Who’s coming?” Ye Xiao seemed to have expected Wade to beg for mercy, without any surprise.

“They’re all here!” As if being beaten by someone, Wade rubbed his cheek. “Hoggoth told me to tell you that if you use paper money to fool him again, he will… beat me again? Why beat me? It wasn’t my idea!”

“Tell me, what did you sneakily eat again?” Ye Xiao said jokingly. “Didn’t I tell you to eat after the offering?”

“I swear, I really didn’t sneak anything!” Wade’s oath was as believable as his claim to quit sex. Though he didn’t think so himself. “Boss, time’s up, I have to go back, remember to pay me extra!”

“He…” Professor X’s face wrinkled. “Consciousness transfer?”

“Impossible!” Before Ye Xiao could answer, Kang, who had been provoking earlier, couldn’t help himself. “This is a time loop. No one can transfer consciousness here, not even Vishanti!”

“Heh!” Ye Xiao let out a sneer. “Are you overestimating yourself and underestimating Vishanti?”

“I told you before, I’m waiting for the skill, what are you waiting for? To die, you mongrel!”

“Get down here!”

With a gesture, Kang, who was in the Prime Minister’s Office, felt an irresistible pulling force. His body crashed through the glass and landed directly on the steps in front of the Prime Minister’s Office.

With a flash of movement, Ye Xiao stepped on Kang’s back as he struggled to get up. Without summoning, the sword automatically flew into his hand.

“It’s over!”

“No!” Feeling death approaching, a strong look of terror appeared in Kang’s eyes. “I’m not reconciled! I still have many trump cards. Hahaha, you want to kill me, it’s not that easy. As long as one of me survives, I am immortal!”

“But that’s not you!” Ye Xiao had no habit of talking nonsense to his enemies. Holding the sword, he stabbed Kang in the head.

Immediately, the darkness gushing from under his feet swallowed Kang’s corpse.

“Huh? Did I space out?” Wade, who thought he didn’t have a habit of spacing out, patted his head. He felt a bit of a headache, but having brain cancer, there wasn’t a moment when he wasn’t in pain.

Oh, never mind!

“Hey, Boss, how come you’re here? Didn’t you go back to report?”

“Didn’t you say you were broke and wanted me to introduce some business to you? Forgot?” Ye Xiao said seriously. “I thought of a great business idea. Tell me, if we take future technology and sell it now, how much money can we make?”

“I’ve already found a partner for you. You know him, Cable. He’s broke in the future, and for money, he sold his body, and he even did the modifications himself!”

Cable’s eyes were already spinning. He couldn’t understand what had happened.

“Really?” Wade felt something was wrong, but the bullet screen in the livestream was calm, so he thought he was overthinking it. Without looking at his surroundings, he thanked Ye Xiao with a smile, “Thanks for the money-making idea, Boss. When I make money, I’ll definitely treat you to a show chasing children!”

“Okay, okay!” Ye Xiao waved his hand perfunctorily. “I still have something to do, so I won’t see you off. Vanessa told me that she bought a new outfit and is waiting for you to appraise it!”

“See you later, Boss!”

Wade, unable to resist the uniform temptation, pulled Cable, who was still dazed, along with Bullet and Xuexu, and disappeared on the spot.
