Chapter 009: Sorry, I Refuse

Wang Bo couldn't help but click his tongue when he heard this. "Well, that's quite a surprise."

He hadn't expected that with just Professor Charles Xavier absent, the X-Men would fall apart, and even the world would be notified by Apocalypse. Such a future was truly terrible.

But it was still a little better than the future ruled by Sentinels.

Because in the future ruled by Sentinels, mutants were almost extinct, while in the future ruled by Apocalypse, it wasn't mutants who suffered, but humans.

Thinking this, Wang Bo couldn't help but glance at Deadpool.

So, this guy was pretty tenacious. Even in a future that had been completely messed up, he still came into being and gained the ability to break the fourth wall.

But once he had that ability, he would find, 'Oh shit, why does the movie plot not match what I know at all?'

Then he would discover that it all had to do with Professor Xavier's disappearance.

So, to change this terrible future, he decided to go to other worlds to find the missing Professor Xavier.

Don't think Deadpool wouldn't do something like this.

Although he was an anti-hero, he occasionally performed heroic deeds.

On the other hand, Professor Xavier, upon learning of the terrible future after his disappearance, fell into thought. His idea was simple: humans and mutants living together in harmony.

Humans should not be superior to mutants, and mutants should not be superior to humans.

Apocalypse's actions clearly violated his standards.

Not to mention that because of Apocalypse, Jean Grey had disappeared, and most of the X-Men were dead. This was absolutely the worst possible thing.

After a while, he looked up and asked, "How should we change this future?"

Deadpool said, "I can take you back, then bring you to before you disappeared, and together we'll chop Apocalypse into pieces. What do you think of that idea?"

Wang Bo naturally disagreed. That way, his reward would be gone.

"I think I'll handle it," Wang Bo said. "I'm confident I can send him back to before he disappeared."

"Are you a mutant too?" Professor Xavier asked, looking at Wang Bo.

"No, I'm not." Wang Bo shook his head and briefly explained his background.

After hearing this, Professor Xavier looked incredulous, while Deadpool was beside himself with excitement.

"Wow, that's so cool! I always thought I'd ended up in a fanfiction world—how else would there be a Saint Seiya in the Marvel multiverse? I never expected you could freely travel between worlds. That's unbelievable! Want to join my team? We can go save all the transmigrators in the multiverse together."

"Sorry, I refuse!" Wang Bo struck a strange pose. "What I like most is saying NO to people who think they're something."

Wang Bo would rather be alone forever than have a motormouth like Deadpool around. That guy dared to say all sorts of outrageous things.

All kinds of [BEEP] words came out endlessly. If he ever forgot to censor them, Wang Bo genuinely felt he'd be done for.

So there was absolutely no way he would team up with Deadpool.

Not even if you killed him.

Professor Charles Xavier felt that neither of the two people before him seemed particularly reliable. How on earth had they managed to strike poses that defied human anatomy? And what was the point of such poses? Why was Deadpool cooperating by striking another pose on the side and yelling, "JoJo, is that you, JoJo?"

What the hell was this?

"Anyway, can we get back to the main topic, Mr. Wang Bo, and Mr. Wade?" Professor Charles Xavier asked, rubbing his temples.

"Of course," Wang Bo nodded. He had suddenly thrown out the JoJo reference earlier to test whether Deadpool knew about JoJo, and unexpectedly, not only did he know, but he could even play along.

Though his response wasn't perfect.

Deadpool said, "Where were we?"

Charles said calmly, "We were talking about sending me back, but before I go back, I want to know one thing: how powerful is Apocalypse?"

Deadpool said, "Not that powerful. This guy has super strength and super stamina, can slow aging, has lived for thousands of years, can fly, control inorganic matter, control his own molecules, change his shape, size, and density, enlarge himself, regenerate limbs, disguise himself, stretch at will, and he can also transform parts of his body into weapons."

"Besides that, he's proficient in teleportation, energy generation, absorption, and release, has force fields, super speed, telepathy, telekinesis, and other abilities."

"And he can also transfer his soul into other mutants, take over their bodies, and gain their abilities. Most of his powers were obtained this way."

"More importantly, he can use special means to enhance the abilities of mutants."

"And under his command are four Horsemen of Apocalypse: Storm, who can control storms; Psylocke, who can turn psionic energy into weapons; Angel, who has wings and can fly; and your old friend, Magneto, who can control magnetic fields."

Professor Charles Xavier: ...

He now understood why Apocalypse could rule the Earth. This guy's power was just too overwhelming.

"Doesn't this guy have any weaknesses?" Professor Charles Xavier asked, somewhat troubled.

Deadpool thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, none. Honestly, I don't even know how you guys managed to beat Apocalypse. Could it be what they call 'plot armor'?"

Professor Charles Xavier: ...

Why don't I have any idea what you're talking about? And your words don't reassure me at all.

Deadpool patted the frowning Professor Charles Xavier on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't forget we have a Saint Seiya by our side. A mere Apocalypse is nothing in front of a Saint Seiya. A Saint Seiya can crush Apocalypse as easily as crushing an ant."

"What exactly is a Saint Seiya?" Professor Charles Xavier couldn't help asking, his gaze involuntarily sweeping over Wang Bo.

Deadpool said, "A bunch of freaks who can throw punches at the speed of light."

Professor Charles Xavier: ...

Tonight, he felt his worldview being forcibly refreshed time and again. First Apocalypse, then Saint Seiya—each more terrifying than the last. As an educated man, Professor Charles Xavier naturally knew how terrifying the force generated by an object accelerated to light speed could be.

To put it bluntly, even the Earth itself couldn't withstand such a punch.

Light-speed punches were just too terrifying.

Compared to that kind of destructive power, Apocalypse really didn't seem like much anymore.
