Chapter 011: The First Mission

Deadpool readily agreed and put away the camera. Wang Bo took them through the Middle-earth hub to the DC world, where they found Faora absorbing sunlight.

"Let me introduce you. This is Faora, a Kryptonian, my subordinate."

"Faora, this is Deadpool, an anti-hero from another world. He has an immortal body—even if he's beaten into a pulp, he can revive."

"And this is Dr. Charles, a mutant with powerful telepathic abilities. He can kill every human on Earth in an instant."

Faora nodded expressionlessly at Deadpool and Charles, but inwardly she was startled. An immortal body and telepathy—both were not to be underestimated.

After hearing Wang Bo's introduction, Charles shook his head repeatedly. "No, I'm not as powerful as you say."

He couldn't yet kill all humans on Earth in an instant.

If he wore Hank's cerebro helmet, he might be able to try.

Wait, what was he thinking?

He quickly deleted that terrifying thought from his mind and nodded slightly. "Nice to meet you, Miss Faora. I am Charles, Charles Francis Xavier."

Deadpool said, "Wade, but I prefer you call me Deadpool. It's my codename. A cool codename, right?"

Faora said nothing, perhaps disdainful of this fellow.

Wang Bo explained the purpose of Deadpool and Professor Charles's visit, then said, "Faora, this is your first mission. I hope you can complete it beautifully."

Faora nodded. She did not refuse, because she was a soldier, and soldiers must obey orders.

"Of course, I won't let you down, my lord."

She had already grasped Apocalypse's power from Wang Bo's description, but she was still confident she could kill him.

After some discussion, Wang Bo took the group back to the Ghost Rider world via the Middle-earth hub.

Then Wang Bo gave Professor Charles a time villa, which contained a dimensional door and two demons.

These two demons would be responsible for opening the dimensional door after Professor Charles returned to his original world.

Thus, Faora and Deadpool could pass through the dimensional door and reach the world of the X-Men.

Then everyone could join forces to defeat the mutant Apocalypse.

After the discussion, Professor Charles took the time villa and left with profuse thanks.

Wang Bo earned one lottery draw.

Deadpool asked curiously, "Can you really send Charles back to the exact moment he left? What if we're late and Apocalypse has already awakened? What if the X-Men are all dead... Ah, damn, my shoulder, my shoulder... Can't you be gentler?"

After Wang Bo slapped Deadpool's shoulder to pieces, the guy finally shut his mouth.

But with his regenerative ability, he could heal his shoulder quickly.

After all, this guy's healing factor was also freakish.

To ensure the mission went smoothly, Wang Bo used a Resurrection Stone on Faora, giving her several extra lives.

Thus, Faora defeating Apocalypse would be no problem.

Just then, a dimensional door appeared in the air.

Accompanied by the sound of stone grinding, the door was pushed open. On the other side was a spacious, bright office.

Professor Charles sat in a wheelchair and nodded at Wang Bo and Deadpool.

Beside him were several people: Beast Hank, Phoenix Jean Grey, Cyclops Scott, and Mystique Raven.

Deadpool stepped through the dimensional door into another world.

Wang Bo strolled in and found that while it was night in the Ghost Rider world, here it was daytime.

Though day and night were reversed, time passed similarly—an hour here was roughly an hour there, maybe a few minutes faster or slower, but it didn't matter.

"Welcome," Beast said, shaking hands with Wang Bo, Faora, and Deadpool in turn. "Charles has told me about you. I'm very grateful that you brought him back."

"You may not know, but since Charles disappeared, the school has been in chaos, nearly collapsing. Thanks to you, the school was saved. I'm truly grateful."

Deadpool said, "If you want to show gratitude, I suggest paying in US dollars. Of course, I wouldn't mind settling in gold."

Beast Hank hadn't expected Deadpool to be so blunt, so he could only offer an awkward but polite smile.

Mystique Raven asked suspiciously, "Are you really from the future?"

"Of course," Deadpool said.

"Are you also a mutant?"

"To be precise, I'm a mutant who received an X-gene transplant from an old wolf. I'm an artificial mutant."

"Logan?" Professor Charles was surprised.

"That's right, that old wolf." Deadpool snapped his fingers and complained, "You know, because of your disappearance, humans secretly researched mutant genes to fight Apocalypse. I was part of that experiment. I suffered a lot for this ability, and more importantly, because the future changed, I missed my beloved Vanessa. Damn it, it's just damnable."

Hearing this, Wang Bo suddenly understood why Deadpool had sought out the professor. The guy was in it for himself from start to finish.

Because Charles disappeared and the future changed, he missed his girlfriend Vanessa, so he planned to correct history and meet his girlfriend again.

That was his real goal. Wang Bo had thought the guy had a change of heart and wanted to change the future, but it turned out to be this.

Professor Charles's expression turned awkward upon hearing Deadpool's complaints.

Beast Hank quickly said, "I'm already searching for Apocalypse. Trust me, soon we'll find him, defeat him, and set history back on track."

"Now that's what I like to hear. With a Kryptonian here, Apocalypse is like a [bleep]. You just watch how she [bleep] Apocalypse. Trust me, this will be the easiest fight you've ever had."

The others seemed a bit uncomfortable with Deadpool's sudden crude language.

Especially the young Jean Grey and Cyclops.

They felt their unformed worldviews were being violently assaulted.

Beast Hank couldn't bear to see the young students subjected to such unspeakable baptism, so he quickly interrupted, "What about us? What should we do?"
