Chapter 90: Cosmic Entity and Shadow King
Whoosh!
Wolverine flew through the air like a meteor, his claws hovering a few centimeters from Juggernaut's chest.
"Heh, I..."
Juggernaut was so scared he took two steps back, instinctively wanting to say something tough.
"Hmm?"
Russell chopped down with his hand. Wolverine, with his arms raised high and body taut, was like a sharp sword held in mid-air. He tore through the air with a shriek, cutting Juggernaut's chest and leaving three deep wounds.
"I... I admit you're better than Juggernaut."
The long-lost pain made Juggernaut angry and miserable, but seeing Wolverine's Adamantium claws and Russell's cold eyes, it was like a bucket of cold water dousing his anger.
He raised his hands in surrender.
"Haha..."
Wanda found it amusing to see Wolverine looking so depressed and aggrieved, being manipulated like a weapon, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Russell, when did you get your father's ability?"
"Can you put me down now, kid!"
Wolverine squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.
If Russell didn't allow it, he couldn't even speak, because his jaw was also Adamantium.
"Thanks."
Russell waved his hand, releasing Wolverine to freedom.
The Juggernaut template has been recorded.
Switching templates, Russell felt the power.
He had actually copied Juggernaut's template as well.
Perhaps it was because Juggernaut's connection to Cyttorak's magic was so deep that they were indistinguishable?
He remembered that even when Cyttorak once recalled his magic and chose another to be the Crimson Messenger, Juggernaut still retained a considerable amount of power.
"It's just a simulated application of my own abilities."
This discovery made Russell's eyes light up as he looked at Wanda beside him.
Because, speaking of which, Wanda's Chaos Magic, like Juggernaut's, wasn't inherent to her, but came from the machinations of another multiversal demon, Chthon.
The ancient Loki Chthon had chosen Wanda, intending to use her body as a vessel to return to the real World when the time came.
By copying Juggernaut's template, he had verified one thing: he should be able to copy Wanda's template as well.
"But it definitely can't be through actual combat..."
The power of Chaos Magic was too terrifying. If it wasn't a real fight, but just a play-fight, the system might not be able to record it.
And if it were a real fight, Russell was afraid Wanda might get emotional and lose control of her Chaos Magic, erasing him with a single thought.
Chaos Magic is an extremely dangerous power.
He would have to use other methods to obtain the template.
"So that's how it is."
Wanda nodded, thinking of Russell's god-like blue light ability, and didn't ask further.
If it were other Mutants, hearing that someone could simulate and use others' abilities with their own, they would either be shocked or jealous, and wouldn't just ask one or two questions and move on.
But Wanda possessed Chaos Magic, and there was almost no more transgressive power in the Universe.
She didn't know the true source of Chaos Magic, and she could also feel that her development of her abilities was less than one-billionth. No one's ability could surprise her, or even make her envious of others.
"Juggernaut, the gold you robbed some time ago was for the collective construction of a Mutant nation. Are you willing to join us?
To turn over a new leaf and contribute to the entire Mutant race?..."
Wanda said coldly.
"Of course, if you are willing to join us, we can live together like a family, and perhaps you can make a friend.
You won't have to just eat pizza and watch TV every day, or just curl up in your room doing disco."
"Friend?
I'm willing." Juggernaut crossed his arms.
"But not everyone is qualified to be Juggernaut's friend."
"If your Mutant Brotherhood's lair has a new renovation plan, you should try to recruit this muscle-brained guy."
Wolverine lit a cigar, put it in his mouth, and exhaled a puff of smoke, saying.
"You have no say here, metal head.
What's in your head, rust and tobacco oil?"
"What did you say?"
Wolverine's claws glowed.
"Do you want me to crush you and turn you into a barbecue grill?"
Juggernaut stepped forward, and the two stood in opposition.
Juggernaut was afraid of Wolverine under Russell's control. Without immense power, Wolverine's Adamantium claws alone were no threat in Juggernaut's eyes.
Whether an axe can split wood depends on whose hands it's in!
"Logan, Ma'am..."
A voice came to stop the two from fighting. Professor X's wheelchair was lifted by Jean using her telepathic ability, and the group floated over.
Logan snorted obediently and retreated.
"Infinite, a few days ago, I saw on international news that you and Magneto had conquered an island nation called Genosha, causing a global uproar and raising hostility and vigilance towards Mutants by several levels."
Professor X turned to Russell, his voice gentle.
"I want to know why?"
"Professor, you should pay more attention to the information circulating among the Mutant community, not just what's on the human side."
News has a shelf life; no matter how explosive, it gradually loses interest over time.
To achieve the best effect when establishing the nation, Russell and Magneto had temporarily not disclosed everything done in Genosha to the outside World.
But with so many rescued Mutants, and so many mouths, even if no human media interviewed them, news about Genosha should have spread among the Mutant community.
But Professor X didn't know anything at all.
Professor X had indeed been interacting more with human officials, wanting to establish a harmless image for Mutants and promote the establishment of Mutant human rights protection laws.
"What happened in Genosha?" He said after a moment of silence.
"The World's first Mutant nation will be established in the near future. You will know then."
His goal for today had been achieved. Russell's gaze swept over the Mutants, finally lingering briefly on Jean, before he prepared to leave with Wanda and Juggernaut.
"Hey, are you just leaving like that?
You ruined all our memories, aren't you going to apologize?
We won't have anywhere to picnic anymore."
Looking at the nearly destroyed Bear Mountain beneath their feet, Rogue couldn't help but say. She was a bit annoyed by Russell's seemingly arrogant demeanor despite his young age.
He was clearly around her age.
"Rogue." Storm quickly pulled her back.
"What else? Are you going to teach me a lesson?" Russell chuckled, looking at her. His calm demeanor only fueled Rogue's anger, and she began to roll up her sleeves.
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"
"Oh?"
Russell was genuinely interested and didn't mind having another fight with Rogue.
Rogue, also known as Rogue, was not like the melancholic and fragile Rogue in the movies, who was also very weak.
In the comics, Rogue had a fiery temper and a stubborn personality. She could quickly absorb and steal others' memories, Superpowers, personalities, and even lives through skin contact.
Captain Marvel, the only Superhero in this World, disappeared after being active for a while.
Russell suspected that the Rogue in front of him was responsible.
Because in the comics, she accidentally drained Captain Marvel Carol Danvers' power, thereby gaining her abilities, and Captain Marvel became a vegetable.
Although Rogue's ability was not in the Omega class, her ability seemed to have great potential.
"Wait, stop messing around, Rogue."
Professor X, as a teacher and elder, made Rogue back down with his serious gaze.
After another interaction, he found that Russell indeed wasn't someone who could be easily swayed, but this also meant that Russell's views on the future of Mutants came entirely from himself.
It seemed impossible for him to pull Russell to their side.
"Infinite, Wanda, although our philosophies differ, there's something I must warn you about. One of my former enemies, an evil and dangerous Mutant, has broken free.
He will likely seek out powerful Mutants to possess their bodies.
You must be careful."
Professor X remembered something, looked at his students, and hesitated before warning them.
Even if their philosophies differed, they were still striving for a better future for Mutants, just in different directions.
But not all Mutants shared this responsibility.
They would only use their abilities to cause destruction, harming both humans and Mutants.
