Ch 387: The Baby Mama Shows Up

Even if Captain America is incredibly powerful, he’s only reached the limits of an ordinary person. Even if others were injected with the same serum, at most, it would only create several super soldiers with the same strength as Captain America.

Such super soldiers are nothing to Kang. Just the technology he possesses—let alone other things—his robotics technology alone, in a one-on-one fight, it’s hard to say who would win. If one can’t beat him, then bring two; if two can’t beat him, then bring three.

Robot programs are simple and easy to assemble, and it doesn’t hurt to lose them.

Captain America-type super soldiers are different. Even if the injection is successful, they need training; otherwise, they only possess brute strength, and their abilities can’t be fully utilized.

Unlike robots, they can learn anything. Just by tweaking the code, they can instantly become masters who have trained for over a decade.

If he needs humanoid ones, or “soldiers” with the appearance of humans, he also has the technology for that. He has a lot of miscellaneous technologies like bio-androids, androids, modified humans, etc., that can enhance strength or even create something out of nothing.

It’s just that some technologies cannot be produced with the technology of this era, so he chose the robots, which are relatively less technologically demanding.

Weapons are even simpler for him. Even without the power cells produced using the Cosmic Cube, he, from a future far beyond Cable’s, possesses even more advanced battery technology.

You know Iron Man’s small arc reactor in his chest? In Kang’s future, that’s almost obsolete technology.

Kang, inherently proud, although he felt a sense of urgency due to an unknown enemy, after ruling the Sacred Timeline for many years and manipulating everyone, he didn’t really take it seriously.

He believed that as long as it wasn’t those old monsters from the Multiverse, he could defeat any enemy. Not for any other reason, but because he is—the God of Time!

“Let you revel in your success for a while. I’ll be waiting here for you, to let you know what despair is!”

Feeling his anger rapidly subside from being ignored, Kang smiled cruelly, already imagining how to torture the few people on the screen.

Except for Ye Xiao, the others were not strangers to him. Cable’s identity might be a secret to others, but for Kang, it’s no exaggeration to say that he knew what position Cable’s parents used, because the person who cloned Jean Grey was also him in disguise.

The other world’s Mister Fantastic isn’t him, but in this world, he is Mister Fantastic, a powerful Mutant!

As for Bullet and Xuexu, Kang didn’t even bother to put them in his eyes. Let alone that they aren’t official X-Men; even if they were official X-Men, it’s not like he hasn’t killed them before, more than once or twice.

Regarding Deadpool, Wade, his origins and past, how many times he communicated with Vanessa every night, how long each communication lasted, and what methods they used, Kang knew it all.

After all, Deadpool is a part of his plan in the Void Land. Occasional attention is needed to ensure that Deadpool is still under their control.

The only one left is Ye Xiao.

“Who are you, exactly?”

…

“Achoo!”

A sneeze almost brought Ye Xiao’s boogers out. After wiping his nose, he smeared them on the nearby wall and muttered, “Why do I feel like someone is talking about me behind my back?”

With Wade leading the way, he achieved the same effect as before. Although he yelled fiercely, like he was on drugs, as soon as he engaged in close combat with the opposite side, before he even pulled the trigger, he was overwhelmed by a group of robots.

A passing Octopod Mech even stepped on Wade’s leg.

The intense pain made Wade roll his eyes, his head tilted, and he fainted.

“Idiot, I told you to use a gun! You’re a gun user; why are you engaging in close combat?”

Ye Xiao patted his forehead speechlessly and said to Cable and the other two, “Anyway, you know the way now. Go ahead. It’s better if the three of you lead the way!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”

Energy rays were fired at Ye Xiao and the others as if they were free.

Xuexu skillfully wielded her throwing knives, deflecting all the incoming energy rays.

Yes, she deflected them!

There are such scenes in the Planet Empire; in cartoons, such scenes are even more common. So, in Marvel, why not?

Just now, they were only blocking, but that was just now. Seeing the three of them acting as if it were commonplace, Ye Xiao knew it must be Wade’s doing.

Sure enough, when Ye Xiao looked at Wade, who was being pressed down by the robots, Wade was holding the Plot Continuity Gem, trying to open another dimensional space behind himself.

This extraordinary action immediately alerted the robots.

They pried Wade’s hand; no matter what Wade did, they tried to stop him.

“Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch!” Wade slapped the ground with his other hand, shouting, “I give up! I surrender! According to the Geneva Conventions, you must treat prisoners well! I demand a private bedroom with a separate bathroom—not a dry and wet separation, I don’t want that! I also need a large bed. My girlfriend’s sisters are numerous; a small bed won’t be enough!”

“Hey, did you hear me? I protest! You bunch of insensitive guys are deaf! Didn’t you have sound collectors when you appeared?”

“Could they be defective?”

“Oh, oh, oh, so pitiful. Not only are you insensitive, but you also don’t have ears. People like you with disabilities are destined to be abandoned by the US Government.”

“Brothers, abandon darkness and embrace the light! We are here to save you. Let’s overthrow the Little Mustache’s rule together! You robots should also learn to stand up for yourselves!”

“Come on, shout with me, ‘Down with Little Mustache! Liberate the robot comrades!'”

“Shout! Ah~”

“Snap!”

Crisp, but not pleasant.

Wade’s arm holding the gem was brutally broken by the robot.

Without the arm’s strength, the hand could no longer hold the gem; it fell into his half-stripped pants.

Wade felt a chill on his buttocks, followed by the robot’s “thousand-year kill” hotness.

“Hiss!” Cable involuntarily squeezed his buttocks, “This is more uncomfortable than a hemorrhoid examination!”

“As a modified human, how could you have hemorrhoids?” Ye Xiao teased, but couldn’t help but think about how Wade always took things out of his pants. It turned out that the Plot Continuity Gem had taken effect; that’s how his abilities came from.

Cable didn’t want to reveal too much about his secrets. Should he tell Ye Xiao that his lower body hadn’t been modified and was all original?

He could only say, “I haven’t been heavily modified!”

“I can see that!” Ye Xiao looked Cable up and down. “I know someone whose body has been modified more than two-thirds.”

Except for his relatively intact brain, Cyborg’s entire lower body was gone, and his upper body was also only half-remaining. Most of his organs had been replaced, and what flowed in his veins wasn’t blood but “machine oil”!

‘You know that, yet you still ask!’

Cable clenched his fist, not daring to say what was on his mind. He seemed to let out a sigh of resignation, picked up his gun, and started fighting back.

Hiding in the circle formed by the two of them, one attacking and one defending, Bullet, who temporarily had no room to maneuver, massaged Xuexu’s shoulders while saying, “Can’t we just charge forward? How long are we going to fight like this?”

Regardless of the number of robots, once the robot army suffers excessive losses and fails to kill the enemy, more powerful missiles will eventually land on their heads. Then, several streets nearby will be full of acquaintances.

Even if the other side might be concerned about this being their capital and wouldn’t launch weapons of mass destruction, the human wave tactics alone would be enough to wear them down here.

“Oh, I thought you were enjoying yourself just now, and I thought you wanted to kill them slowly!” Ye Xiao feigned astonishment, then said, “If you have the ability, you can charge forward, of course!”

Bullet, who had been waiting for Ye Xiao’s words, shook her neck. “I’ll lead the way later; follow me closely!”

“You won’t be able to hold on!” Xuexu was a little worried. She knew that Bullet’s explosive power was strong. After accumulating power, her charge was unstoppable, but her weakness was that it didn’t last long—basically just a few seconds of energy.

Looking at the dense army of robots ahead, where there wasn’t even room for the Octopod Mechs to set foot, Xuexu was afraid that they would charge straight into the enemy’s most heavily concentrated area.

And it wasn’t just the front; the remaining three directions—left, right, and rear—all had uniform footsteps.

From the time they came out until now, it’s only been a few minutes. The encirclement has almost been completed. Cable knew that if they didn’t break out, there were only two possibilities: either they went back, brought reinforcements, and then came back, or the person whose identity was still unknown, Ye Xiao, would make a move.

Death was certainly not inevitable. They had ways to escape; there was no need to stubbornly resist here.

‘Do you have confidence?’

Although Cable didn’t ask it out loud, Bullet “read” his meaning from his gaze. “What are you kidding? I can’t hold on? Today, I’ll let you see my true strength!”

“Buy me some time!”

“Don’t say ‘time’ to me. I get nauseous whenever I hear those two words!” Ye Xiao said with disgust.

Bullet’s squatting movement stopped. The momentum she had just created of “going alone, opening big, creating opportunities for teammates” was ruined by Ye Xiao’s words.

“Can you shut up?” If she wasn’t losing, Bullet really wanted to punch Ye Xiao in the face.

Fortunately, Xuexu encouraged her with her eyes, so Bullet calmed down and focused on accumulating her power.

After accumulating her power, her ability was like a hypersonic missile shot out. The longer the accumulation time, the greater the destructive power after release.

But if it wasn’t released and was only used for charging, it was like a high-speed train, unstoppable.

She could estimate… she couldn’t. There were too many robots and Octopod Mechs in front of her, blocking her vision.

“If we go straight from here, how far is it to the Prime Minister’s Office?”

“…”

“Speak!”

It was difficult to speak while accumulating energy, and these two sentences were barely squeezed out by Bullet.

“Are you talking to me?” Ye Xiao, who had been holding his breath, let out a long sigh, as if he was uncomfortable from holding his breath for too long. He patted his chest and said, “Look at you, young people are young people. Aren’t you an adult yet? Still in your rebellious phase? Why are you changing your mind so easily? You’re the one who told me to shut up, and you’re also the one who told me to speak. What do you want?”

Bullet, regretting her extra question, had blue veins appearing on her forehead, her teeth grinding, as if she was about to eat someone.

“What, you want to bite me?” Ye Xiao shook his head and clicked his tongue. “I’ve said this many times, and since you haven’t heard it yet, I’ll say it again. Buddy, I have normal hobbies…”

“Whoosh!”

Bullet could no longer stand Ye Xiao’s wordiness. Her entire body, like a launched missile, her energy forming a blade in front of her, splitting the air and the robots along the way.

“Rip!”

It seemed like something was torn apart. Oh, it was Wade; never mind!

Cable’s eyes narrowed, swiftly following behind Bullet. Xuexu didn’t hesitate either, wrapping the chains around her arms and following.

“Young people just lack patience!”

Ye Xiao walked behind them, shaking his head and humming, as if he were shopping, walking neither fast nor slow, yet he wasn’t left behind.

As he passed Wade, he casually picked up Wade’s two halves.

“Boss, why are you taking off my clothes?” Wade ‘terrifiedly’ tried to cover his private parts. He only touched his intestines that were about to fall out. “Boss, my intestines, my intestines, ah, one of my kidneys fell out, ah, my shit came out of my stomach! Hmm? The color is unusual. It seems I had a bad stomach recently. I should eat something good to replenish my health, but… I seem to be broke!”

“You don’t seem to be; you are broke!” Ye Xiao stripped off Wade’s shirt, exposing his pitted skin, as if it had been irradiated.

Kang in the Prime Minister’s Office subconsciously turned his head, using his psychic power, magnified by technology, to directly transmit the latest order to the secret forces’ brains.

“Put on your gas masks and try not to look at that maggot!”

The secret forces, though also robots, were nanobots with more advanced processing units, capable of mimicking all human emotions.

When they didn’t transform, to the naked eye, no one would know they weren’t human!

But the problem is that because they mimic humans so well, they’re also unable to resist Wade’s conceptual attacks.

That soul-wrenching stench and ugliness are irresistible to any living being with the concept of “disgust,” even gods!

Kang had once seen a god, facing a naked Wade, vomiting profusely. Despite being an energy body, it vomited like a human drunk, spitting like a fountain.

He himself… let’s not talk about it.

“Someone! Get me a new garbage can!”

A robot guarding the door entered, carrying a new garbage can. After putting it down, it took the vomit-filled garbage can and left.

At the entrance, several such garbage cans were already placed.

The secret forces, having received new orders, put on the gas masks hanging from their waists. Their clothing was not much different from that of ordinary soldiers, except that they carried more equipment to deceive people, making them seem more professional.

To outsiders, they had been injected with a more advanced super soldier serum than Captain America’s. Only Kang and they themselves knew that they were not human.

And those soldiers who were daydreaming, thinking that they could be injected with the super serum for their achievements, had their dreams shattered. Their corpses were destroyed, and their appearances were simply nanite soldiers with a changed face.

Nanobots didn’t have a fixed form. Forming nanite soldiers was only necessary. When necessary, they could individually transform into any appearance and could also combine to exert even stronger strength.

The nanite soldiers lived in a secret room below the Prime Minister’s Office. They claimed it was for easier protection of Prime Minister Little Mustache. In reality, the secret room was also Kang’s research laboratory; basically, all the robots, including the nanite soldiers, were produced there.

Then, according to their different functionalities, they were secretly transported to different places.

In short, they were both the publicly declared secret forces and the underground research lab’s guards.

The Hydra organization, through various channels and inferences, confirmed that Little Mustache had other helpers. There was an 80% probability that the helper was hiding underground in the Prime Minister’s Office, but they couldn’t infiltrate their people.

There wasn’t a single living person in the entire underground research lab; they couldn’t find any opportunities.

Red Skull’s eagerness to retrieve the Cosmic Cube was because he realized that Little Mustache’s other partner wasn’t inferior to Hydra; at least in scientific research, they were much stronger.

Currently, none of the robots, Octopod Mechs, or their energy sources outside came from them.

This caused suspicion among many within Hydra.

“Could there be a powerful leader within Hydra that we don’t know about?”

Hydra was a rather loose organization. Anyone who shouted “I am Hydra” was Hydra. Even if they didn’t shout, as long as they did things under the banner of Hydra, others would consider them members of Hydra.

Since Hydra had no reputation, recruiting newcomers involved either cultivating them from childhood or finding those who had just entered society and lacked a clear understanding of society. Both were subjected to rounds of brainwashing, making them lose themselves and completely loyal to Hydra.

So once someone joined Hydra, there was basically no possibility of leaving.

Countless terrorist organizations and individuals, before joining, would think carefully. They couldn’t withstand the temptation of cooperating with other branch leaders and sharing projects after joining Hydra, but they also worried about becoming stepping stones for other branch leaders.

From ancient times to the present, the law of survival of the fittest has never changed, and greed is an inseparable part of living beings.

Some people always have unrealistic dreams, always wanting to keep others under their feet forever, and they can’t stand others being better than them.

Red Skull was like that, and Kang was even more so!

But currently, Kang was ahead, after all, this is an abnormal world.

Their confrontation, or rather, Kang’s game during his boredom, wasn’t something the nanite soldiers cared about. Their mission was to eliminate everyone except Deadpool!

When they came out of the hidden passage onto the street, formed a formation, stood in front of the Prime Minister’s Office, and waited for Ye Xiao and the others to fall into their trap, Kang in the Prime Minister’s Office couldn’t help but slap the windowsill.

“These idiots!”

He knew that robots were fine for handling ordinary matters, but once they encountered something complex, their simple logical structure couldn’t understand it.

“Look behind you!”

Waiting for them to fall into the trap?

You set the net upstream; what kind of fish can you catch?

Under Bullet’s determined charge, Ye Xiao and the others had already reached the Prime Minister’s Office, waiting for Bullet, who was exhausted, to recover some energy before making a final push into the Prime Minister’s Office.

“Remove all your restrictions, activate the highest combat mode!”

This mode meant that the nanite soldiers could completely remove all disguises and no longer need to maintain a human form. As long as they could kill the enemy as quickly as possible, they could use any form.

However, in this mode, energy consumption was extremely high, and it wouldn’t last long.

But Kang couldn’t care about that anymore. Through the eyes of the patrolling robots outside the city, Kang saw the person he least wanted to see.

The good news was that it was Jean Grey. The bad news was that Jean Grey wasn’t alone.

That person wearing a helmet with silver hair showing from the edges—if he wasn’t mistaken, it was Magneto. His arrival meant his robot army became scrap.

And Professor X, sitting in a wheelchair, could turn everyone in the city into his enemies.

Better news: only three people came. Worse news: none of the three were easy to deal with.

He had to quickly deal with Cable and the other two. Perhaps, he could also use Cable’s death to lure out Dark Phoenix; otherwise, he would only be able to restart the world again.

There was still an unknown enemy who hadn’t shown up, and he was worried that he wouldn’t have time to develop after restarting again.

Ye Xiao, sitting on the steps in front of the Prime Minister’s Office smoking, didn’t know what Kang was thinking. In his opinion, Kang was a crazy person. Their development experiences were similar, but the difference was that after gaining power, Ye Xiao kept his original heart, while Kang’s original heart had been lost somewhere along the way.

With his ability to manipulate time, it would be difficult to trap Kang if he wanted to leave. Like now, Kang could leave at any time. He could simply abandon this world and rebuild a new time loop.

If time is finely divided, every minute and every second is a separate point in time. Any point in time can create a time loop, and any time loop has a relatively complete universe.

Abandoning this time loop, Kang could act wantonly in other time loops.

But perhaps, because of his long-term actions of controlling, arranging, and interfering with others’ fates, he mistakenly believed that he was the God of Time.

Emphasizing the last word, God!

He thought he was the omnipotent God in the realm of time!

His infinitely inflated psychology made him ignore anyone except the Dimensional Lords. He didn’t even care about some weaker Dimensional Lords.

Did he pretend to be afraid of this and that? Was he really afraid of Dark Phoenix?

Not necessarily!

The complete Phoenix Force might make him wary, but the incomplete Phoenix Force, he didn’t really take it seriously.

Ultimately, he was still playing with everyone; otherwise, he would have taken action himself long ago.

The time loop was created by him. To some extent, he was deeply bound to the time loop. If he died, the time loop wouldn’t last long.

Ye Xiao, who had destroyed countless time loops, knew that even without his acceleration of the time loop’s destruction, the time loop would disintegrate during an automatic restart, returning to the Multiverse itself as energy.

If Kang had truly been devoured by Dark Phoenix in this time loop again and again, this world would have been destroyed long ago and wouldn’t have lasted until Ye Xiao arrived.

It was merely a trick. What was devoured were Kang’s “clones,” bio-androids he had created using high technology. His Main Body had been lurking innocently.

Just like Kang, who had played Loki around in the Void Land, was also killed by Loki; isn’t he still fine now, chatting with Ye Xiao about meaningless topics?

“Uh…” Wade, who was about to put his two halves of his body together, looked at the nanite soldiers who turned around, like ghosts and monsters, without a fixed form. He gulped, “I feel they are a bit troublesome!”

“Wow, they’re flying!”
