American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

The Nightwalker opened the door, nodded to the gathered people, and made way for them.

The Avengers peered through the open door and saw a wheelchair parked with its back to them in the dimly lit room.

On the other hand, Xu Fu, who had seen everything clearly under [supervision], couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face.

The people entered the room at the invitation of the prophet.

"Sorry, I look a little scary, so I usually prefer to meet guests in this room."

Chapter 912 is clearly boasting.

A slightly apologetic explanation came from the wheelchair.

Nightcrawler walked to the wheelchair, extended his palm and slowly pushed it, turning his back to the crowd and towards the Avengers.

At that moment, Tony and the others immediately understood the reason behind the threats made by the interlocutor.

It turned out that the person sitting in the stroller was not the person they had expected, but a lonely head. No one would be mistaken; the prophet the Nightwalker spoke of was indeed a living head, capable of communication and speech.

"I understand how you feel. To be honest, if this were the first time I'd ever seen a human head that could talk on the spot, your expression wouldn't be too good either..."

At the same time, this prophet was more active than people imagined.

The prophet leaned back slightly, raised his eyes, and looked at the Avenger in front of him with great interest, but his lips did not stop moving as soon as he finished speaking.

“Wait, wait,” Wagner shook his head, “let me see if this is an illusion.”

"Alright, Prophet."

Faced with the head's demand, the Nightwalker respectfully raised his head from his wheelchair and shook it vigorously from side to side once more.

"Hmm, hmm, I'm starting to feel a little dizzy."

When the prophet called for a halt, the Nightstalker put him back in his wheelchair. 293

Slowly, he came to his senses, his face contorted, and glared at the Avengers standing in front of him again. Then, in a hellish tone, he said, "Damn it, Tony Stark, Peter Parker, weren't you already dead at Apocalypse's hands? Captain America too, what's going on?"

"Do you know us?"

The Avengers were also surprised by the Prophet's astonished reaction: they hadn't expected anyone in the world to know them.

Even though all that was left of him was his head.

"Of course, we are the closest of friends and comrades. I even applied to join the Avengers, and although Tony Stark rejected my application, it didn't affect our deep friendship at all, did it?"

The Prophet raised his eyebrows, expressing his disappointment at being stripped of his Avengers membership in a regretful tone, while raising his eyes and gesturing to Nightcrawler standing to the side.

The man kindly reached out and secured the prophet back into his wheelchair.

"So, I'm ready to fight for the Avengers!"

Faced with the prophet's expectant gaze, Tony, hidden beneath his nanosuit, subconsciously frowned, instinctively sensing the question posed by the speaker.

"I'm sorry, we don't have time to consider that right now."

"Once again, I thought the outcome would be different under different circumstances."

Rejected by Tony once again, the Oracle's face was filled with disappointment and regret, but in the next second, he regained his usual ease.

"Forget it..."

Even though only a head remained, the Avengers subconsciously imagined the other person shrugging.

"The Avengers isn't a good place. I can't stand this job of saving the world every day. Honestly, what are the Avengers thinking? They have to endure bullying while also saving those who insult them. Maybe the Avengers are masochists too... Of course they are! I'm not talking about you, Captain. I know you're a good person. Can you give me a warm hug?"

Looking at the severed head in the Nightcrawler's hand, pleading with him, even the experienced and beautiful Captain America felt somewhat discouraged.

"If you're willing"

After a brief standoff with the Avengers on the sidelines, he managed to extend a hand in return.

"Great chest muscles, I used to have the same perfect physique."

The prophet squinted, stretched comfortably in the arms of the handsome captain, sighed, and walked out.

"Unfortunately, I only have one head now, except that I can..."

"Yes, Prophet."

Nightcrawler noticed that the prophet's conversation was taking an increasingly dangerous turn, and he coughed.

"Okay, okay... I understand...."

He rolled his eyes in exasperation, ending the conversation. The prophet complained with a hint of resentment, "I only have one head, and you won't even let me fantasize, even though I know that the only thing I can do every day is fantasize."

After a moment's thought and a brief complaint about his current situation, the prophet steered the conversation in another direction, eventually returning to the main topic of the meeting.

“I am Wade Winston Wilson, once a beloved and outstanding mercenary, but as you can see, I now only have one head. The mutant survivors call me the Prophet, although I personally prefer the name Head, but they don't agree, so…”

He went on and on about his experience, omitting some less relevant details, clearly exaggerating.

The Avengers roughly understood what had happened to the man they called the Prophet.

Wade, a former free agent for the X-Men, said that one day, the world's oldest mutant, who called himself "Apocalypse," appeared and tried to rule the world.

At first, Wade didn't think much of it: the Avengers or X-Men would handle this kind of thing anyway.

On the contrary, the power displayed by "Apocalypse" surpassed all understanding. He not only defeated the Avengers and X-Men who tried to stop him, but even the powerful Professor X was no match for him. He even mastered some powerful weapons. In the end, after defeating the X-Men, "Apocalypse" absorbed Professor X's powerful spiritual power and spread his consciousness to all mankind, infecting people all over the world with mutant factors and turning them into mutants.

With the entire world under Apocalypse's control, Wade naturally had no reason to resist, and coincidentally, his girlfriend also underwent a change due to infection with mutant factors.

Although he himself was indifferent to these changes, his girlfriend clearly couldn't accept them, which led Wade to be forced to join a mutant organization fighting against the rule of Apocalypse.

As for the final result, it was undoubtedly a failure.

Except for Wade, who only had one head, all the mutants were defeated by Apocalypse, and even some of the people they knew were transformed into knights under Apocalypse's command.

Chapter 913 Nickname

"Mutants were once a vulnerable group in this world, and they had to hide from the hostility of well-meaning people by remaining anonymous..."

The Nightcrawler pushed the wheelchair through the center of the castle, while the prophet Wade spoke of the world's past.

"The vast majority of mutants awaken very small abilities, but they are forced to confront a great deal of anger and discrimination from society. This leads some of them down a path of hatred towards ordinary people. Magneto is a prime example. His ability is to control any form of magnetic field, a power that is especially strong in today's steel jungle society. One of his comrades deeply resents Magneto's ability."

Inside the dimly lit castle, a large number of mutants are lurking, monitoring the Avengers.

"There are mutants who hate humans, and there are mutants who are willing to coexist peacefully. In fact, for a long time in the past, Professor X's X-Men and Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants were fighting each other until Apocalypse appeared."

When the topic of Apocalypse came up, Wade's expression, sitting in his wheelchair, became noticeably more complicated.

"In the face of absolute power, any resistance becomes meaningless. The power of Apocalypse forces neither Professor X's X-Men nor Magneto of the Brotherhood of Mutants to put up any resistance. The world will become the new king of mutants overnight, and from that day on, they will become the same vulnerable group in the world as ordinary people."

"I originally thought this rule would last a very, very long time," "until one day, a guy called the Destroyer appeared in this world."

After Wade's description, Nightcrawler stopped in his tracks, and standing before the Avengers was a woman whose entire body was made of diamonds.

"Of course, that's Emma, ​​the mutant—we're more used to calling her the White Queen."

Upon hearing Wade's introduction, the woman known as the White Queen nodded to the Avenger.

“In her normal state, she is an extremely charming woman, but unfortunately, in order to counteract the factors of mental derangement, Emma does not have to maintain this modern form all the time.”

An image made entirely of diamonds gave the Avengers a deeper understanding of mutant abilities.

Emma

Wade gestured to the White Queen, signaling the Nightcrawler to look up.

Then, he raised his palm, and with his powerful mental energy, he created a realistic illusion in front of the gathered people.

"I am a mutant!"

Amidst the city's ruins, Killer pointed at Apocalypse, who stood before him, the Infinity Orb embedded in the surface of his staff gleaming with an alluring light.

Apocalypse knelt on the ground, clutching his battered body, and turned to look at the warrior in front of him.

"I hope these people will remember you after all this is gone."

As the Destroyer spoke, the power emanating from the Infinity Gauntlet instantly enveloped the speakers, turning them into dust and sending them scattering in all directions.

...

"So, what is the purpose of fighter jets?"

Escape the illusion created by the White Queen and re-enter the eerie atmosphere of the ancient castle.

However, Tony suddenly recalled the final scene in the image where the Destroyer was holding the Infinity Gauntlet.

Don't tell me it's here to save you.

"I have no idea"

Wade also couldn't find an answer to this.

"In fact, by killing Apocalypse, the Destroyer has already left this world." "It seems to have been targeting Apocalypse."

Wade shook his head, helping Nightcrawler to a more comfortable position. He glanced around at the group of people in front of him, raised an eyebrow, and fixed his gaze on Xu Fu, the only person he didn't recognize.

"Although Apocalypse is dead, his influence on the world has not ended; on the contrary, with his death, the whole world has fallen into endless madness."

At this point, both the Nightcrawler behind Wade's head and the White Queen, the incarnation of diamonds, showed sincere and experienced expressions.

"Apocalypse" once absorbed Professor X's abilities, which lie in his powerful mental strength. He can read others' thoughts and memories without physical contact, and he can also use his abilities to strip away and control others' thoughts and behaviors, even connecting to everyone in the world, whether ordinary or mutant, when needed.
