Skill Card: Phoenix Force

Russell proved through his actions that he was not an ordinary person, but a powerful Mutants.

The reason why no specific ability was detected, the Dark-skinned mutant speculated, was due to Russell's own abilities, such as the ability to conceal his presence.

"You said you wouldn't hit a woman?"

The dark-skinned woman laughed, her laughter a mixture of anger at being slighted and disdain for Russell's old-fashioned ways. "That's wonderful, I like men like you."

With a flash, the dark-skinned woman burst into full speed, stabbing Russell in the chest with a dagger in her palm.

The attack failed again; Russell held her wrist firmly in his grasp.

When the dark-skinned woman went all out, the speed and impact she unleashed were considerable, but her intention to attack in a straight line was obvious and could not escape Russell's perception.

Feeling as if her wrist was about to be crushed by iron clamps, the dark-skinned woman struggled twice, sweat beading on her forehead, and said with a forced smile, "I remember you just said that you don't hit women."

"That's right, I said I don't hit women." Russell smiled brightly, his body crackling with Electric Arc, and three seconds later released the black woman who was smoking all over.

"Silly woman, I'm going to teach you a lesson today: a man's words are deceitful. Be smarter from now on. Since you're so naive, I'll waive the tuition."

"Glug!"

The Shockwave swallowed hard twice. Seeing Russell's mocking gaze on her, she decisively raised her hands in surrender. "I surrender! I know the principle of not trusting men easily, no need to lecture me!"

The Shockwave was well aware of her own limitations. Her abilities were only good for dealing with ordinary people. Russell could even catch a dark-skinned woman moving at high speed. If it were her, she would probably be knocked down before she could even unleash her Shockwave.

Crackling sounds!

The Shockwave collapsed, spewing black smoke. Russell curled his lip in disdain. He was willing to teach the black woman because she was visibly female, while the Shockwave ...

Forgive my poor eyesight, but whether I look at it at first glance or upon closer inspection, I cannot distinguish between male and female.

"These scattered and disorganized soldiers are utterly useless!"

Magneto stood on the broken bridge, looking down at the scene with dissatisfaction. From the beginning, his definition of the Mutants ragtag army was very clear.

Cannon fodder!

To be more specific, it's a multi-functional, all-in-one tool that attracts fire, depletes enemy stamina, and is used for reconnaissance and self-destruction.

Although he had no expectations, the fact that over a hundred people were being overwhelmed by seven X-Men still made him furious. "A bunch of trash, relying on them is a waste of time. Juggernaut, you storm into the lab, find that boy, and kill him!"

"I like this idea."

The tall, muscular man shrugged his shoulders and leaped off the broken bridge, his feet creating a large crater upon landing.

He grinned maliciously, smashed aside his own men blocking his path with a punch, and charged forward with great strides, like an unstoppable Tank. Everything in his way, whether people, objects, or even Deadpool, flew away the instant it touched him.

Deadpool: "..."

On the X-Men's side, Logan saw Juggernaut crash through the wall and into the research facility, and hurriedly sent Shadowcat to rescue him.

Russell glanced at it twice and then ignored it. This Juggernaut was incredibly stupid, capable of dragging the IQ of the entire street below the passing grade. It could easily defeat even a monster like Shadowcat, let alone Deadpool ...

Ahem, let's continue talking about the battlefield.

After Deadpool was knocked away by the Juggernaut, the slackers had nothing left to do and scattered among the other X-Men. They were quickly beaten and cried for their mothers. Magneto, unable to bear it any longer, decided to take matters into his own hands.

This was not a wise decision. As a seasoned villain, taking matters into his own hands meant that defeat was not far off.

Magneto used his masterful ability to manipulate metal to send cars flying across the Golden Gate Bridge. Human Torch then heated and ignited them, creating Mutants version of a meteor shower.

Kill a thousand enemies, but lose eight hundred of your own!

The ragtag troops dared not linger and dispersed, leaving the battlefield to their leader. Luo Jiangyou Su followed suit and ran away, but unexpectedly, a car flew through the air and landed precisely on his head.

With the Holy Light Longsword in hand, Russell turned and slashed down, cleanly splitting the fireball in two, exchanging a glance with Magneto in the distance.

I can tell from their eyes that Magneto did it on purpose.

"Every time I see this face, my hands itch—no, I just can't bring myself to do it..."

Russell brandished his sword and strode toward Magneto. After today, who knows when he would see that face again? He might as well settle all old scores at once.

Magneto looked down at Russell with a cold smile, slowly and deliberately throwing the car behind him away. As Russell approached, Magneto opened his arms and suddenly clasped them together in front of him.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud—

Dozens of cars floated up and surrounded Russell from all sides, closing in on him in the blink of an eye and trapping Russell inside.

As Magneto clenched his fists, the car door twisted and deformed, shrinking into a giant iron ball amidst a series of creaking and squeaking metallic sounds.

Gasoline flowed out from the gap at the bottom. Upon seeing this, Human Torch, without Magneto's command, raised his hand and waved a pillar of fire, igniting and exploding the scrap metal ball.

Rumble!!

A deafening roar erupted as the scrap metal, suspended in mid-air by Magneto, burst into flames, transforming into a blazing torch. Fireworks shot skyward, and the shockwave ripped the X-Men off their feet, shattering all the windows and doors of the research facility.

Buzzing—

A vibrating cutting sound rang out, and several white sword energies shot out from the torch, tracing crescent-shaped paths through the darkness. The fireball disintegrated in mid-air, and Russell landed unharmed on the ground. Upon closer inspection, one could see layers of flowing water vapor surrounding his body.

To be honest, Russell was a little embarrassed. This is Demon Island, a small island in the Golden Gate Strait, next to the Pacific Ocean.

"Destiny is in my hands!"

As Russell thought this, his gaze toward Magneto grew increasingly mature.

Locked onto by a malevolent gaze, Magneto felt a sense of foreboding. He dared not be careless, so he put aside his previous contempt and slowly floated into the air, raising his hands as if God were descending.

The Golden Gate Bridge, whose weight is immeasurable, was lifted up by an invisible force. Magneto spread his five fingers and swung the Golden Gate Bridge at Russell.

The spectacular scene is breathtaking, yet it also feels extremely incongruous. When the camera zooms out, the scene looks like ants waving baseball bats—it just looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

"Run!"

Logan shouted and grabbed Storm next to him, and the two rode the wind into the sky.

On the other side, Shadowcat outsmarted Juggernaut and rescued the bald boy, only to be completely dumbfounded as soon as he ran out of the research institute.

With the little boy around, all the Mutants were unable to use their abilities; she could do nothing but wait to die.

Just then, Deadpool sneaked up beside the two, touched the little boy's bald head, then picked up his gun and muttered to himself, "If I shot myself right now, would I die on the spot...?"

The bizarre monologue startled Shadowcat, who Silly Bird, "Mr. Wade, what are you doing here? Run!"

"Run! Why run?"

Deadpool looked up at the dark figure descending from the Golden Gate Bridge, shrugged, and said, "If you're referring to this troublemaker, then there's no need to run away. Trust me, Russell is a master of these big scenes."

Rumble!!

As Deadpool finished speaking, the entire Demon Island trembled violently, the intensity of the tremor resembling an underwater volcanic eruption.

It wasn't the Golden Gate Bridge that collapsed, but rather the waves around the island surged and swelled, and a pair of giant hands made of water elements emerged from the sea and steadily caught the falling Golden Gate Bridge.

Immediately afterwards, a giant black shadow was cast over the sky above Demon Island, and a water Elemental Giant with a humanoid silhouette rose from the sea.

Its thick legs stood tall like Optimus Prime, its height was immeasurable, and as far as the eye could see, it only reached the waist of the giant.

As the seawater surged in, the giant's body rapidly expanded and grew, becoming towering in less than half a minute. The enormous Golden Gate Bridge appeared as tiny as a toothpick in its hands.

Boom!

A palm formed of water elemental energy slammed down from the sky with a deafening roar, striking the sea and creating towering waves. The giant knelt on one knee, as if in worship, pressing his head deeply into the ground.

Two streams of water surged in, grabbing Russell's feet and placing him on the giant's head, as if it were all perfectly natural.

"..."xN

"Go on, do you have any other big things? If it's not as big as the Pacific Ocean, there's no need to bring it out and embarrass yourself!" Russell said, waving his hand. The water Elemental Giant swung his arm and accidentally threw the Golden Gate Bridge away.

That said, one question had always puzzled Russell when he watched the movie: Since Magneto could move the Golden Gate Bridge, why didn't he just swing it and raze Demon Island to the ground, instead of sending his men to their deaths one by one...?

Is he a traitor?

"..."

Seeing this, Human Torch secretly slipped away. Magneto's eyes bulged, his expression changing several times before finally looking at Jean: "Jean, unleash your power, for the freedom of Mutants."

On the other side, the X-Men gathered together, looking up at the massive water Elemental Giant that blotted out the sky, their mouths agape.

"Hey Russell, I'm here, I want to go up too!" Deadpool jumped and hopped on the ground, waving his arms and shouting loudly, as if afraid that Russell wouldn't be able to hear him if he was too far away.

A surge of water rushed in, and Deadpool immediately put his hands on his hips, smugly raising his chin at the people around him. Just as he was pondering how to make his entrance, the water swept up a bewildered Logan and quickly dragged him onto the giant's head.

Deadpool: "..."

[Bite]

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

"Draw! God help me, I'll use my... good brother Deadpool as collateral, give me a Dark Phoenix Character Card, Deadpool is yours to do with."

Russell silently prayed to draw the Character Card, knowing that completing the World Quest would only allow him to stay for 24 hours. This was likely his closest chance to succeed; if he missed it, he would never have another opportunity.

[Skill Card: Phoenix Force (Power of the Primal Universe)]

Russell: "..."

Not Character Card, disappointing!

"Damn Wade, I should have known better than to use him for the bet. God doesn't want that kind of chip."
