Rumble!!

As the sunlight faded, the blue sky suddenly turned pitch black, with dark clouds covering an area of hundreds of kilometers. Amidst the overlapping clouds, visible Lightning Chain flashed incessantly.

In the vast darkness, only the horizon was a white line!

The clouds pressed down on the ground like a giant, all-encompassing hand, and swirling vortices of wind formed out of thin air, spreading wildly in the blink of an eye, evolving into huge black tornadoes hanging in the sky.

One after another, black wind pillars stretched from the sky to the ground, numbering in the dozens, and the number was still increasing.

Just now, the aircraft emitted a piercing alarm, and two F-16s entered combat status and began attack lock-on.

Storm Ororo's eyes rolled back as she activated the defensive weapon system on her aircraft, effectively controlling the weather to create the current natural disaster.

Russell gazed into the darkness outside the window, his brows furrowed into a deep frown. He couldn't understand why Storm's combat power fluctuated so much, especially since she seemed only average in the church.

Although the formation of tornadoes is related to Storm's abilities, and she can't maintain them for very long, even if it only lasts for a dozen seconds, it can easily destroy an army, making it a terrifying weather weapon.

Compared to the battle at the church, her current performance is like she's been given a cheat code.

Is it because of the terrain that it's inconvenient to unleash powerful attacks in the city?

Unable to figure it out, Russell stopped wasting his brain cells. The Marvel power system was complex, with a hole every few steps, the kind that couldn't be filled.

Don't ask, it's just part of the setup!

No matter if you are Five Cosmic Entities, the Living Tribunal, or even a big shot who can create Multiverse in the blink of an eye, you still have to honestly swing your fists when you fight.

Two F-16s were helplessly tossed about in the wind. One of them was caught in a tornado, and the pilot was unable to control the direction. He pressed the ejection seat to escape.

The other F-16 was luckier, holding out for a moment before giving up the pursuit. However, before escaping, the pilot successfully locked onto the target and launched two tracking missiles.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ororo just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the alarm, and her heart jumped into her throat again. "Trouble is coming, two missiles are approaching us."

"Leave it to me!"

Qin took a deep breath, narrowed her eyes, and focused her power on one of the missiles. Flames shot into the sky as the missile's internal program went out of control and exploded.

Qin also froze, her expression dazed, her eyes unfocused. Because of her worry for her companion's safety, she had used too much force, breaking the seal on the Phoenix Force.

"Qin! Qin!?"

Ororo's exclamation snapped Jean out of her daze. Sensing another incoming missile, her face instantly turned deathly pale.

It's too late!

Inside the cockpit, Russell was about to do something when the rapidly approaching missile suddenly changed direction and self-destructed. The shockwave tore a large hole in the tail section, and the thrusters were damaged and malfunctioned.

The violent airflow caused the aircraft to lose its balance, spinning as it descended towards the ground, with swirling gusts of wind whipping around inside the cabin. Rogue, finding the chest-buckle seatbelt too tight and unable to breathe, hadn't fastened it properly and, unsurprisingly, was thrown out by the gusts of wind.

"Ahhh—" X2

Huh? Why were there two screams?

(一`一)

Russell seemed to have thought of something, and turned his head with dead fish eyes. Sure enough, Deadpool's seat was empty.

Those who are good at courting death always manage to seize opportunities!

The aircraft's power system failed, and Ororo and Jean were busy restarting it when they heard the Rogue's scream. They were sweating profusely but had no time to spare.

Everyone in the cabin clung tightly to anything they could to keep themselves from being swept away by the strong winds; no one had a free hand to rescue Rogue.

Bang!

The blue-black smoke dissipated, and the Nightcrawler Teleportation away, returning to find himself crouching on the ground, clutching Rogue.

The Nightcrawler had his eyes closed and was reciting a prayer from the Bible. Judging from his trembling body, it was clear that he had mustered up a lot of courage to save the Rogue.

Hoping he can bring Deadpool back is a pipe dream.

Russell pursed his lips, unbuckled his seatbelt, and followed the raging airflow out of the cabin.

Deadpool is Immortal Body and can revive even after being smashed to pieces. He's not worthy of sympathy because he brought this upon himself. But if left unattended, who knows where he'll end up?

With his Wings of Light spread wide, Russell soared through the sky, his golden eyes scanning the Silly Bird until he spotted Deadpool's goofy figure tumbling wildly in mid-air. He rushed over in a fit of rage.

On the other side, Ororo and Jean tried several times but were unable to restart the aircraft's power system.

Just then, the violent airflow in the cabin subsided, and everyone could hear the sound of metal squeezing at the tail. They all turned their heads in surprise, watching the metal twisting at the damaged part, sealing up the large hole that was leaking air.

The aircraft continued to fall, but at a much slower speed than before, and its trajectory had changed. Upon seeing this, Ororo couldn't help but look at her best friend.

"A zither?"

"It wasn't me." Qin looked terrified. As the plane continued to fall, she finally saw the kind people who had saved them.

On a green hillside, a handsome old man in a black trench coat and a specially made helmet held one hand high to stop a falling aircraft. Beside him stood a voluptuous female Mutants with blue skin.

Magneto Erik! Mystique!

"When will these guys learn to fly a plane..." Magneto slowly released his grip, allowing the aircraft to land smoothly on the ground.

After the spacecraft landed, the group emerged cautiously, especially Ororo, Jean, and Logan, who were well aware of Magneto's danger. Moreover, if they remembered correctly, Magneto's presence here indicated his Prison Break.

Magneto, with a kind smile on his face, was about to say something when his expression suddenly froze, as did Mystique beside him. Looking at the two familiar figures with shopping bags on their heads, even the most shrewd and calculating man was momentarily at a loss for words.

A cluster of light rapidly approached from afar. Russell grabbed Deadpool by the ankle and slammed him down, then folded his wings and landed on the ground.

Magneto's eyes lit up; his intuition told him that Russell was definitely not a member of the X-Men, but someone he could recruit.

[Bite]

[The host has come into contact with the story character Erik Lehnsherr, triggering Lottery Draw. Would you like to draw now?]

[The host has come into contact with the story character Raven Darkholm, triggering Lottery Draw and granting two chances to draw prizes. Would you like to draw now?]

"Extract!"

[Character Card: Erik Lehnsherr (Although he's Magneto, well... you know)]

[Character Card: Raven Darkholm (She alters her own cells and tissue structure, allowing her to transform into anyone)]

[Skill Card: Weapon Mastery (Proficient in using various individual melee and firearms)]

After the lottery ended, Russell nodded in satisfaction. The Skill Cards were of average quality, but the two Character Cards were indeed quite good. Even though Magneto had been weakened to Iron Man, his abilities were still considerable.

At least he looks cool when he's showing off!

Magneto smiled kindly at Russell and was about to introduce himself when Deadpool suddenly jumped up and interrupted him.

"Russell, you know, when I fell out of the plane, I felt like I was going to die. My life flashed before my eyes, and all I could see were images of sex. But that's not what I want to talk about..."

Deadpool gripped Russell's shoulders, excitedly saying, "Seeing you fly towards me without hesitation, my heart raced, my limbs went out of control, I... I might be in love..."

Bang!

Deadpool fell backward, Russell blew on the muzzle of his gun. "Silly Bird, you need to get a brain transplant."

"Well done!"

Among the crowd, Storm, Human Torch, Phoenix Woman, Rogue, Iceman, Wolverine, who wished to remain anonymous, clapped and cheered; they had wanted to do this for a long time.

"..."

Magneto and Mystique looked at each other, wondering what was going on. Was this the new style of the X-Men?

Or perhaps, without Charles keeping them in check, they unleashed their true nature?

Looking at the Mutants with severe violent tendencies, Magneto was overjoyed. He was 80% confident that he could bring this group of X-Men, whose style had changed drastically, into the Brotherhood.

He loves stealing his old buddy's girlfriend!
