53. The End of Delusion
"Apocalypse lost?"
In an underground base on an island in the Atlantic Ocean, Mr. Omen used a special instrument to see the whole process of Apocalypse's defeat.
Even though the battle took place in outer space, it wasn't out of sight for a guy as intelligent as Mister Omen.
He looked at the unclear picture in surprise, at Tianqi who was being forced into a deep sleep because of his weakness.
Confirming again and again that Apocalypse failed under the three-party attack of Berserk, Superman and Supreme Mage, this made Mr. Omen's heart suddenly relaxed.
He finally doesn't need to worry about the threat from Apocalypse anymore.
But then, a sense of urgency rose again in Mr. Ominous Omen's heart.
Apocalypse was just defeated, he didn't die.
The Immortal has also been defeated in the past 5000 years, but each time he can rise again in time.
He is immortal, time has no meaning to him.
"It's not over yet."
Mister Omen looked at the sleeping baby in his arms, his blood-colored eyes shone with hair-raising stubbornness.
"My calculations are not wrong. Only you can truly end the reign of terror of Apocalypse. Cable, you are the real savior. There is nothing wrong with that."
While talking, he stretched out his hand and stroked the cheek of Little Cable.
Mr. Sinister's fear and worry about Apocalypse is deeper than other people's pure fear of Apocalypse. He is a mutant catalyzed by Apocalypse.
Apocalypse gave him strength, and the price was that he became a loyal servant of Apocalypse.
Such a relationship made Mister Sinister extremely dissatisfied and painful, and he plotted rebellion.
Mister Omen is definitely not satisfied with defeating Apocalypse again and again, what he wants is the complete end of the awkward relationship between master and servant.
He is also very clear that unless Tianqi is really dead, he will never be free. After the next Tianqi recovers, his destiny will still be controlled by that tyrant again.
"I have to send you to the future..."
Mister Omen turned off the monitor, put the sleeping cable into the stroller at hand, pushed the stroller to his feet, and walked to the time machine that had been fully charged on the other side.
"They won't understand."
Mr. Ominous breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to himself:
"They have no idea who saved them in the future, they are content with false victories, but ignore the real threat..."
"Ah, furtive darkness wriggling and crawling in the abyss, which curses and covets the world under the sun, while the ignorant are still feasting and debauched."
"sad!"
"They can win all the time, but if they lose once, it's all over. I don't choose this stupid way, I prefer to solve the problem once and for all."
It's like self-hypnosis, and it's like constantly strengthening your inner beliefs.
It is not so easy to be a full-fledged villain. Just as heroes are often shaken by dark thoughts, villains will also suffer from unsteady hearts.
No matter whether the end of a road is dark or light, what is really difficult is always the process of walking the road itself.
There is a lot to be gained from the extreme good and the extreme bad, and the saddest thing is those who are not firm enough and swing from side to side.
"It's time to say goodbye, kid."
Mister Omen took the cradle down, and like last time, he wanted to put the small cable into the compartment of the time machine.
He wants to send this child to the future, where he will continue to fight in the future, defeat the apocalypse, and kill the tyrant. In the future victory, the tragic life of Mr. Omen will be completely released.
He will conceive a savior himself, and he will be rewarded with the best.
free!
"No one can bother with this anymore."
Mister Sinister seems to have seen the future he envisioned, with an innocent smile on his pale vampire-like face, but his luck is terrible.
It's like a remake of a classic that failed last time.
Just when he picked up the small cable, a ray of light suddenly pierced from the ground to the ground, precisely piercing the activated time machine.
Just like a lightsaber burning with fire, in a flash, it completely destroyed the instrument that Mister Omen had prepared for a long time.
It is much easier to destroy than to build.
In the scorching scene, a dangerous cluster of sparks lit up on the stalled equipment before Mr. Omen's eyes, followed by a rapid return of energy, like an overloaded oversized battery.
About to explode.
"Fack!"
After failing twice in a row, Mr. Ominous Omen, who is well-preserved, couldn't help but swear.
Although his mentality collapsed, he reacted very quickly.
While the figure retreated, he himself and the child in his arms disappeared into the laboratory just before the explosion, the moment the burning woman figure rushed into the underground base.
"whoosh"
His figure appeared on the surface of the island, and the extremely gloomy Mister Omen knew who the attacker was.
That was his good "daughter".
The woman who haunted him like a wraith, Miss Madeleine Pryor, was an ordinary woman who should have been useless and abandoned long ago, but lucky things happened to Miss Madeleine one after another .
"boom"
A terrifying explosion erupted underground, like a magma ejected from a crater, easily tearing open the tunnel leading from the underground to the surface.
As the scorching light surged, the substances that blocked the way were drawn into the phoenix fire one after another.
It was like a process of annihilation and decomposition, just in the blink of an eye, in the eruption of bright flames, Miss Madeleine, whose whole body was lit with phoenix flames, floated to the surface from the pierced ground.
The Red Queen in the form of a phoenix spread her arms, and there were dancing flames forming burning wings under her arms. Amidst the flames, there were also the hissing sounds similar to birds echoing on this remote island.
Her eyes turned pale as when the flames were extremely burning, looking full of ominousness and coldness.
"You are really tenacious."
Mister Sinister curled his lips. He felt the burning sensation from Miss Madeleine's body. The high-level energy fluctuations proved the danger of the Red Queen at this time.
Possessing the unique power of the phoenix, the Red Queen's lethality has doubled, and Mister Omen knows that he is no match for the Red Queen in this form.
But he didn't panic.
He hugged the sleeping little cable as usual, he was determined that the mother in front of him who wanted to protect her son would not attack him at the risk of harming the child.
that's the truth.
Miss Madeleine maintained a suspended posture, staring at the evil omen with her white eyes, and said in an emotionless voice:
"Put Nathan down! I can spare your life."
"You really can't lie."
Ominous said coldly:
"You probably haven't killed anyone before, so you naturally have no way of understanding how obvious your killing intent is now. You came here to kill me. Let me guess. You probably think that as long as I'm around, you'll be able to kill me." and your son will never be out of danger..."
"madness!"
He said:
"Cable's talent cannot be concealed from the apocalypse. The immortal lives forever in time. If he finds that Cable has the potential to kill him in the future, then he will definitely try to kill him in every timeline with Cable." This threat!"
"Unless Tianqi is dead, your precious son cannot escape this danger, and the way to kill Tianqi is to make him a savior in the future and let him protect himself!"
"Don't you understand? I'm helping you! I'm helping your son!"
"boom"
The scorching phoenix fire burst out under Mr. Omen's feet, and the flames forced Omen to take a few steps back.
In the flash of fire, the Red Queen clasped her five fingers, and the dancing flames converged into sharp weapons in her hands. She said:
"Don't help! We don't need it."
"I will protect my son as much as my life, and give me back Nathan, this is the last warning!"
"Hahaha"
After hearing Miss Madeleine's threat, Mister Omen let out a burst of laughter, saying:
"You are really... simple. If you want to show your determination, then don't threaten, just do it directly. Such threats will only expose your weakness, my poor daughter."
The Red Queen was silent.
Everything seemed to be right by the villain Omen, and the Red Queen didn't dare to take risks without the safety of the little cable.
Seeing Miss Madeleine throwing a mouse, Mr. Omen became more and more complacent.
He said to the Red Queen:
"There is no way for us to go on like this. Let's do this, you want to protect your son, and I need Cable to grow in the future...I can send you and him to the future together."
Omen whispered:
"In this way, you and your child will not be separated, and I can fulfill my long-cherished wish, but the power of the Phoenix will interfere with the transmission process, so before that, you have to dissipate the power of the Phoenix in your body..."
This guy is cheating.
He would not allow the future he designed for Cable to be disturbed at all, he just settled for Miss Madeleine's greatest weakness.
Although she obtained the Phoenix Force inexplicably, she has too little experience, is not a fighter at all, and has no strategy.
Things seem to be going as Mr. Omen predicted, and the Red Queen seems to be a little moved by his "perfect method".
She was silent, and raised her hand. Under the gaze of Mister Omen, the scorching flames spread from Miss Madeleine's arm little by little, exposing her skin.
And just when Mister Omen thought his deception was about to succeed, behind him, in the tumbling water beyond the island, Namor quietly appeared.
He fine-tuned his tactical eyepiece, concentrating the energy release of the laser beam on one point.
Probably because of Cyclops Summers' desire to protect his wife and son in the folded body, at this moment, Namor could feel that the energy in his body was almost active to the extreme.
This time the sneak attack, steady!
"whoosh"
The scarlet laser light splashed in the sea, like sharp arrows flying out, and shot in the blink of an eye. All the attention of Mister Omen was focused on the threatening Red Queen. How could he expect that the seawater behind him Still hiding a man?
This laser beam was urgent and fast, and at the moment of contact, Mister Omen's chest was pierced by the laser light gathered to the extreme.
This mutant with a bad mind and good strength stared wide-eyed. He stared blankly at the body that had been melted from behind. He could feel his vitality draining away.
His heart stopped beating, causing his body to fall forward, and the small cable in his hand was embraced by the flying Miss Madeleine.
The Red Queen, who hated her so much in her heart, swung a fist, and hit Mr. Ominous on the cheek, who hadn't breathed yet.
She really hated this delusional man who manipulated her life and tried to take away her son.
In Miss Madeleine's eyes, Mister Omen is a hopeless delusional!
He was afraid of the power of the apocalypse, and he didn't dare to resist directly, so he could only weave a ridiculous delusion for himself.
Sending a baby to the future, fighting for him, killing Apocalypse for him, so he can set himself free... What kind of madman would think of such a way?
What kind of coward would pin all his hopes on a newborn child?
The more high-sounding he said, the more fearless he acted, which showed the dark and cowardly heart of this guy.
This is a soul long overdue for hell.
flame.
The scorching phoenix fire blazed like Miss Madeleine's hatred, but in an instant, in the last howl of the omen, there was only a burned skeleton left on the island.
Miss Madeleine, who was holding the small cable, wept with joy. The moment she touched her son, it was as if the violent phoenix flame had never appeared before.
It turned into a soaring flame phoenix, circled around Miss Madeleine and the cables a few times, then rushed into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
This is the power Phoenix Girl lent to Miss Madeleine. Now that the matter is over, the borrowed power will naturally be returned.
"Summers, our boy, saved."
The almost naked Miss Madeleine was hugging her son and talking to Namor who was walking towards her. There was also a tenderness in the latter's heart, which was probably caused by Summers' consciousness.
But Namor looked at Miss Madeleine who was holding the child, and he had to admit that Cyclops had much better luck finding a wife than him.
Although Miss Madeleine is just an ordinary person, she is much gentler than the ambitious White Queen Emma, and she is a good woman who takes care of her family.
Namor stretched out his hand to take off his cloak, and covered Miss Madeleine's naked body. He squatted down, reached out to take the small cable, and dangled it back and forth in his arms.
He handed the lovely little cable to Miss Madeleine, and said:
"I sent a message to Utopia Island, you stay here, and someone will pick you up soon."
"how about you?"
Miss Madeleine looked worriedly at the man in front of her who was completely different from her husband. She could feel that Summers was in this man's body.
But what exists in that body is not just a soul of Cyclops.
"I..."
There was an impulse in Namor's heart, wanting to hug this woman and kiss her fiercely, it was Summers' impulse.
But after all, he still has important things to do. He stood up, touched the scroll in his pocket, and looked at the vast Atlantic Ocean. He said:
"I'm going to do what I have to do."
"There's no reason to leave something halfway after it's already started... No matter what the outcome, your Summers will come back to you in the end."
"What a lucky man."
