"Masked man, put down the gun you're holding!"

Storm Ororo and Phoenix Woman Jean Grey looked grave. Following Professor X's instructions, they came to Boston to find Nightcrawler, the Mutants who had assassinated the president, only to find that the situation was much more complicated than they had imagined.

On the church floor lay a body with its head split open. The perpetrator, clad in black and red armor, was ferocious, arrogant, and exuded murderous intent. Worst of all, the mission target, the Nightcrawler, knelt on the ground, seemingly begging for mercy.

Ororo and Jean are unsettled. Nightcrawler attempts to assassinate the president, and Professor X suspects there's more to the story, that he's being manipulated by someone, and that this is a conspiracy to frame Mutants.

If Nightcrawler cannot be brought back unharmed and a reasonable explanation given to the president, it could very likely lead to a further deterioration in relations between Mutants and humans, or even the outbreak of war.

The scene inside the church confirmed Professor X's suspicions: Nightcrawler was indeed being controlled, and the other party was preparing to kill him to silence him.

This matter is of great importance, and the two women cannot afford to be careless.

"Extract!"

[Character Card: Ororo Monroe (Storm, who can control the weather)]

[Character Card: Jean Grey (Multi-Ability User, Strong in the Field of Mind Stone)]

Although Character Card are always the cards with the highest probability of being drawn, happiness came too suddenly. Russell was incredulous to have obtained both of the cards he desperately wanted. His gaze towards the two X-Men beauties under his mask became much more amiable.

Luck is contagious; I've seen it in their eyes, these are two lucky koi!

Such a terrifying murderous aura! I can tell from his eyes that he's a serial killer!

Ororo and the pianist, sweating profusely, almost instinctively launched an attack together without saying a word.

Jean used her abilities to freeze Russell's weapon and body, and teleported the Nightcrawler behind her at top speed.

Russell: "..."

What are you doing?

Unable to move his body, as if imprisoned in cement, Russell tried to say something but found that not only his hands and feet, but even his mouth could not be opened. Unwilling to sit and wait for death, he immediately began to resist.

He slowly raised his arm, the muzzle of the Desert Eagle God aimed at Jean. Jean's face turned pale, feeling Russell's power was incredibly terrifying, frantically consuming her mental strength.

"Ororo, hurry up, he's very strong, and he's Mutants like us."

Jean urged anxiously, raising her hands and using her powers to press the trigger against Russell, preventing him from pulling it, and lifting his body into the air.

"That's enough, Qin!"

Storm Ororo's eyes were white, her body crackling with Electric Arc, and she raised one hand high.

Above the church, swirling black clouds rapidly compressed and took shape, evolving into a massive thundercloud.

With a deafening roar, Ororo swung her arm, blinding white light filled the sky, and a pillar of lightning suddenly struck, shattering the church roof and hitting Russell directly.

Rumble!!

One, two, three...

Lightning bolts exploded, bombarding Russell relentlessly. Jean withdrew her powers in time, creating an energy field to protect Ororo, herself, and the Nightcrawler behind her.

After releasing all the lightning in the sky in one go, Ororo breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes regained their clarity, and she gave Qin an OK sign, saying she was done.

"Nailed it!"

The church roof had vanished, and a large crater had been blasted into the ground in the center by lightning. The neatly arranged pews were reduced to splinters. Flames rose, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a battlefield, with smoke billowing everywhere.

Deadpool had just finished healing, was caught in the blast and before he could even get up, he was struck by lightning and turned into a charred corpse, entering the resurrection countdown once again. Because the lightning was so fast, Deadpool knelt down so decisively that no one noticed what happened.

"Let's go, Jean, take him back to school. It's not safe here." Ororo glanced at the large crater filled with black smoke, but didn't go over to check the bodies. She was confident that if she attacked with all her might, no one could survive such an attack; the enemy was likely already reduced to ashes.

Qin nodded, reassured the Nightcrawler, and, fearing that the evil organization might have accomplices, immediately headed out of the church.

The Nightcrawler was completely bewildered. Two strangers had entered the church, and they looked utterly Silly Bird. Being a coward, he tried to drive them out with a combination of fear and shouting, only to have one of them instantly transform into an angel.

As a devout believer, the Nightcrawler had no doubts and knelt down to beg for the Lord's forgiveness.

However, things were not as simple as he imagined. The angel pulled out a gun and blew his companion's head off, his actions mirroring those of the devil.

Just as he was at a loss, two beautiful women entered the room and killed the devil who was suspected of posing as an angel.

The plot twists and turns, leaving Nightcrawler's mind blank. Looking at the two beautiful women's approachable appearance and considering their formidable strength, he decides to leave with them, following his heart.

"Hey, you hit me and left without giving me an explanation?"

A questioning voice came from the pit, startling Jean and sending a chill down her spine. Ororo, her face filled with disbelief, turned around in astonishment. There stood Russell, one hand on his shoulder, swinging his arm as he emerged from the pit, looking as if he had just had a massage.

"Ororo?" Jean gasped, instinctively thinking that Storm was holding back.

"No! This... how is this possible!?" Ororo was dumbfounded. Judging from the enemy's posture, the lightning attack seemed to have no effect.

Russell refused to answer the questions that challenged reality, glanced coldly at the two women, and raised his Desert Eagle, repeatedly pulling the trigger.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud—

Jean opened her arms, raising an energy defense to protect the stunned Storm and Nightcrawler.

Blue bullets rained down, striking the transparent energy field and scattering into flying fragments. Seeing this, Russell drew another Desert Eagle from his waist, firing a high-intensity Mana Destruction Bullet, which sent Jean back two steps.

"There's a reason why you X-Men aren't well-liked. You've damaged the church like this, aren't you planning to leave any money for repairs? Or are you just going to blame it on a natural disaster and be done with it? Please don't do that, the insurance companies won't cover it, and the priests will be crying!"

Russell kept pulling the trigger, forcing Jean to keep moving towards the three of them.

Ororo took a deep breath and swung her arm to strike the lightning again. This time, she slowed down and finally saw why the lightning was ineffective.

Caught in a flash of lightning, Russell's entire body exploded with Electric Arc, absorbing all the lightning into his body like a bottomless pit.

"Qin, he has the ability to absorb."

"I know that stopping the lightning will only make it stronger."

Jean thought to herself that this was troublesome. At first, she thought Russell was Mutants with enhanced physical abilities, but now it seemed that he was most likely the type who controlled energy and absorbed it to transform it into other forms of attack.

Upon hearing this, Ororo immediately stopped attacking. Russell glanced at the power bank with displeasure and fired a high-intensity Mana Destruction Bullet.

Bang!

The blue projectile made contact with the defensive shield, turning into water droplets that splashed out. Jean's breath hitched, and she planted her feet firmly on the ground to block the attack. Her slightly narrowed eyes suddenly snapped open, and an invisible energy shockwave radiated out, slamming hard into Russell.

Its versatile abilities are almost omnipotent.

Russell's body went out of control, frozen in place. The next second, he was thrown away by the impact, crashing into the wall behind him like a cannonball and burying himself in the ruins.

"Leave quickly, I can't hold him off for long."

Qin hurriedly shouted out, and the power she was giving to Russell was blocked. She felt that the opponent's power was inhuman.

Without a word, Ororo grabbed the stunned Nightcrawler and ran quickly toward the church doors. Just then, as if sensing something, she slammed on the brakes and stepped back to Jean's side.

Crackling sounds!

Two Silver-white Giant Wolf appeared, blocking the entrance from the left and right. Then, two more giant wolves appeared from behind, blocking all the exits of the church.

Russell pushed aside the bricks and stones, glanced down at Deadpool's Deadman head, and realized he had probably knocked over something when he fell. He silently apologized and stood up from the ruins.

"Who are you, and why did you kill him?" The enemy's strength was beyond her imagination, so Qin began to speak properly.

"Kill if you want to, why ask so many questions?" Having been attacked for no reason, the petty Russell was unwilling to suffer a loss and decided to explain after the fight was over.

The Electric Arc flickered and leaped, accompanied by a crackling and piercing sound, as two more giant wolves jumped out from behind him.

Russell stroked the giant wolf's chin with one hand, and the wolf nuzzled his shoulder with its head. When it turned to look at Jean and Ororo, its wolf eyes gleamed with ferocity.

"You're Mutants too, why..."

"Stop talking nonsense, round two begins. If you want to know why, either beat me, or be beaten by me!"

Russell kicked Deadpool's Deadman head aside, dual pistols in hand, Magic Power flowing into the blades to extend them. With his movement, six Silver-white Giant Wolf surrounded Jean and her companions, baring their teeth and growling softly.
