NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 151: Chapter 151
Kurohane had miscalculated; he never expected that Deadpool would be unmoved by the allure of money! And Deadpool's answer was simple: as long as he could get a cameo in the X-Men, two hundred thousand US dollars meant nothing.
"Before Hugh Jackman played Wolverine, he was just an unknown actor, after Halle Berry played Storm, it wasn't long before she won an Oscar for Best Actress." Deadpool chattered, his gestures exaggerated as if he were delivering a speech on a Broadway stage. "It's all because of the popularity gained after the first X-Men movie was a huge success, which led to sequels being made, some minor actors who could easily be directed became huge stars with skyrocketing salaries, and to coordinate their filming schedules, the director's life was worse than death. If he, Wade Wilson, could get a regular spot in the X-Men, maybe he could be the next Oscar Best Actor! Even if he doesn't become a superhero in the future and goes to film some art house movies, his salary won't be any less!"
Kurohane felt his head throb. Chatting with an existence like Deadpool, who could break the fourth wall, always made him easily lose focus, and it wasn't even Kurohane who wanted to lose focus, but this fool Deadpool insisted on dragging you along with him! He sighed, long and heavy, the weight of the universe's foolishness bearing down on him.
Although Kurohane had a hundred reasons to refuse Deadpool, he knew he couldn't persuade him. So Kurohane could only let out a long sigh and reluctantly joined the team to rescue Professor X, opening a portal and bringing these Mutants back to the ruins of the School for Gifted Youngsters. Kurohane planned to find a quiet place to draw a lottery himself, anticipating the coming danger. Sanwa's disguise could only withstand physical attacks, but Apocalypse's full set of superpowers, and the total amount of psychic energy that could overwhelm Professor X, made Kurohane feel even less confident than when facing Thanos!
When he fought Thanos, he had several Infinity Stones as backup, and Thanos only had the ability to fight physically. But now he didn't have Infinity Stones, and Apocalypse was not just a super soldier like Thanos, so Kurohane truly had no sense of security now. The Sacred Scar on his hand could connect to the Sacred Dimension, but most spells from the Sacred Dimension were primarily defensive, or they enhanced mental and healing abilities. As for offensive methods, special attacks against dark energy, and half damage to normal creatures! Facing the first Mutant in history, a powerful existence that could be considered a god in the long river of history, this little attack power was clearly not enough!
As for close combat and firearms, Apocalypse also had Magneto by his side. Edman Alloy Knife and bullets were basically useless in front of him! Even if Magneto turned against him due to their bromance in the end, Apocalypse's self-healing ability was no less than Wolverine's. In the movie, his throat was even cut open by Mystique with a knife, not only did not a drop of blood flow out, but the wound also healed visibly, and he almost smashed Mystique to death with a backhand!
Mystique and Beast were arranging the other Mutant students. After all, the school was gone now. Staying here meant either living in the trees like monkeys or sleeping in the wilderness like homeless people, it was best for everyone to return to their mothers' homes, school was out!
Kurohane decided to stay away from that silly Deadpool when drawing the lottery, so he left the crowd far behind, sitting cross-legged under a large tree, but found that someone else also appeared under this tree.
"Mister Kurohane, are you also a psychic?"
Young Phoenix, Jean Grey, appeared in front of Kurohane, sitting next to him with her knees hugged. Almost instantly, Kurohane felt a burning gaze locking onto him! Don't misunderstand, it wasn't Jean's gaze, it was Cyclops's! If it weren't for the glasses blocking him, Kurohane might have been set ablaze!
Kurohane sighed inwardly. Another damned teenage romance campus drama! I haven't even said a word, what are you jealous about?! To ensure Cyclops's baseless jealousy wasn't for naught, Kurohane decided to interact well with young Jean!
"I also have Telepathy, but to be more precise, I'm actually a Mage." Kurohane said, making a gesture, and summoned a small Seraphim Shield in front of his fist. The shimmering golden shield was full of strange patterns, like an exquisite magic circle, emitting strange magical fluctuations. Under the golden light, Jean's eyes were full of shimmering little stars, looking at Kurohane with adoration!
"Can I learn?" Jean asked, her eyes sparkling.
"You can learn!"
"That's great!" Jean smiled widely.
Cyclops: His facial expression hardened, jealousy clearly etched behind his glasses.
Looking at Kurohane and Jean, who were chatting happily, Cyclops only felt his head heavy, as if an invisible green hat was placed on his head, and his cervical spondylosis was about to flare up!
"Jean, you are the most talented Mutant in the entire school, you are only afraid of your own power." Kurohane very seriously explained the Kamar-Taj magical theory to Jean. "As long as you can face your own power, you can become the most powerful Mutant." Although he only had a Sling Ring in his hand, he couldn't teach her those messy spells because Jean couldn't communicate with other dimensions, but Jean's body contained the Phoenix Force that had existed since the beginning of the Universe. This power was enough to kill most Dimension Lords, so she didn't need to communicate with other dimensions, she could just communicate directly with the Phoenix Force within her body! With Kamar-Taj spells as a medium, she could also better control the Phoenix Force within her body.
It was just that Kurohane was chatting happily with Jean, while Cyclops was almost depressed!
[Help Jean Grey master the Phoenix Force, avoid her from becoming corrupted, Justice Value +100]
Looking at the Seraphim Shield in Jean's hand emitting a red light, Kurohane smiled with emotion, "This is God-given talent. Jean, who possesses the Phoenix Force, not only has astonishing psychic powers, and skipped the process of stealing energy from various dimensions. In less than fifteen minutes, if Jean could meet The Ancient One, the Mage, there would be no place for Kurohane and Stephen Strange as Sorcerers Supreme!"
"Alright, I won't teach you any other spells." Kurohane continued, his tone turning more practical. "Since you're afraid your power will hurt others, then I'll only teach you this defensive spell. Use your power to protect the one you love. This way you won't be afraid of your own power anymore. Just practice well in the future!" It wasn't that Kurohane was being stingy, but the Phoenix Force, once unleashed, was the strongest damage skill. Learning anything else would be redundant! With that in mind, it was better to practice Seraphim Shield more. Oh, when using the Phoenix Force, it should be called Phoenix Shield!
Jean stood from the ground and respectfully bowed to Kurohane, "Thank you for your guidance, Kurohane, Mage!"
