Chapter 315 The Prophet (1/2)
The Night Walker walked very fast in the fog. His dark blue skin enhanced his concealment at night, and his special tail structure made his whole movement closer to the crawling of wild animals.
Fortunately, none of the Avengers present were ordinary people, except Banner.
"Hu, hu~"
He opened his mouth and panted, following the end of the team with some effort. Banner's physical fitness before the transformation was closer to that of ordinary people. After a long journey, his physical strength was almost exhausted.
"Do you need my help?"
Tony deliberately slowed down and asked beside Banner after noticing that Banner had stopped.
"I can still do it..."
Banner took a deep breath and waved his hand to show that he could hold on for a while.
However, before he finished speaking, his steps staggered involuntarily.
"Friday."
Looking at Banner's shaky steps, Tony curled his lips under the nano suit, spread his palm, and a group of nanoparticles quickly transformed into a cubic device that appeared in his palm.
He casually pressed the cube on Banner's shoulder. The next second, countless nanoparticles wrapped Banner's body at a speed visible to the naked eye, especially in the thigh area, where two sets of armor parts with obvious Tony Stark style appeared.
"Thanks, Tony."
Feeling the sense of relief coming from his thigh, Banner couldn't help but thank Tony.
"I'm just worried that you can't hold on to let Hulk out."
Shrugging, he didn't stay for too long.
Tony controlled the nano suit on his body and came to Nightcrawler at the front of the team again, asking: "How long do we need to go?"
With the help of the nano suit, although he didn't feel as tired as Banner, the long-term action also made Tony feel a little impatient.
"It's almost there..."
The tail behind him maintains the balance of the body. As a mutant, Nightcrawler not only has the ability to teleport, but his tail also has excellent combat power. It can not only support the weight of his entire body, but also hold objects and equipment to attack.
Turning his head to look at Tony flying beside him, Nightwalker replied, and the next second his body turned into a ball of blue mist and flashed on the ruins of the ruins in the distance.
Peng——
After climbing on the broken wall and looking around, Nightwalker's body returned to the previous position and looked at Tony and said.
"In fact, we have arrived."
As Nightwalker's voice fell, the Avengers clearly saw the surrounding fog gradually dissipated, and a castle with collapsed outer walls appeared in front of them.
"Darwin, I'm back."
Approaching the edge of the outer wall that was still standing, Nightwalker greeted a certain wall.
"Wagner..."
Immediately afterwards, on the mottled wall covered with vines, a face suddenly appeared on the surface of the outer wall, turning its stone eyes to fall on the Nightwalker in front of him, and said in a low voice with an echo.
"It seems that you have brought a lot of people this time."
Moving his eyes to scan the Avengers behind Nightwalker, the face on the wall, or Darwin, said slowly in a slightly dull tone.
"I hope they can hold out longer this time."
"It's different this time."
Facing Darwin's reaction, Nightcrawler subconsciously defended himself and turned to introduce the Avengers and others behind him.
"Darwin is one of the first mutants to come to the shelter. His ability is survival of the fittest, and his body can automatically mutate to adapt to the external environment. At the beginning, when I met Darwin, he was not like this. He could move freely in the shelter. The reason why he became like this now is entirely due to the influence of the madness factor. In order to resist the madness, Darwin had to integrate his body into the outer wall of the shelter to get rid of the influence of madness..."
"At least I can still keep my sanity."
Darwin was very calm about his current state.
Or, as his body adapted to the wall, his mind gradually became as cold as stone.
"Go in, the prophet is waiting for you inside."
Turning his body as stiff as a stone, controlling the stone wall to open a walkway for only one person to pass through, Darwin reminded the Nightcrawler in front of him without any ups and downs.
Following the footsteps of the Night Walker, Colin and others passed through the passage temporarily opened by Darwin and entered the ruined castle.
"Someone is coming..."
"Who is it?"
"Wagner and some unfamiliar faces."
"He always does this, bring some guys in..."
Stepping on the broken stone bricks, Colin's ears heard the rustling conversations one after another. The mutants in the shelter thought they were speaking very quietly, but in fact, their conversations fell into Colin's ears without missing a word.
The entire castle looked as dilapidated as the outside. The collapsed stone pillars stood horizontally in the middle. A large amount of moss spread over the edges of the stone pillars, indicating that the castle had collapsed for a long time. At the same time, the sunlight in the broken windows fell on the broken ground of the castle through the gaps in the glass, not only did not give people a trace of warmth, but it seemed even more gloomy.
"Mr. Stark, someone is watching us."
The spider sense in his body sensed the scrutinizing gaze from the castle, and Peter reminded Tony in a low voice.
"Don't worry too much, this is other people's territory after all."
In this regard, Tony's performance was as calm as he thought, and he even had time to look at the architectural style of the entire castle.
This is obviously the architectural style of the 17th and 18th centuries. It can be seen that the owner of the castle has modified it to a certain extent. Tony can even see some traces of modern technology in some ruins.
While the Avengers were looking at the castle, Night Walker who was walking at the front also stopped.
"You guys wait here, I need to go first and ask the prophet for instructions."
Turning to apologize to the Avengers behind him, Nightcrawler's figure turned into blue mist and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Come in."
A few minutes later, a hoarse voice came from the room.
Pushing open the door, Night Walker nodded to everyone and gave up his position.
Looking along the open door, the Avengers saw a wheelchair parked in the dark room with its back to them.
But Colin, who could see everything clearly under [Super Vision], couldn't help but have a weird expression on his face.
Enter the room at the invitation of the Prophet.
"Sorry, I look a little scary, so I usually choose to meet guests in this room."
From the wheelchair came a slightly apologetic explanation.
Nightcrawler stepped to the wheelchair, stretched out his palm and slowly pushed the wheelchair, which had its back to everyone, in front of the Avengers.
At this moment, Tony and others immediately understood the reason for the scary words in the other party's words.
It turned out that what was sitting on the wheelchair was not the expected figure but a solitary head. It was true that the prophet in the Night Walker's mouth was actually a living head that could communicate and speak.
"I can understand how you feel. To be honest, if it was my first time to see a head that could move around and talk, my expression wouldn't be very good..."
At the same time, the prophet's emotions were more active than expected.
Leaning back a little and raising his gaze, the prophet looked at the Avengers with different expressions in front of him, but the words in his mouth were spoken without any pause.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Wagner shakes my head and lets me see if I'm hallucinating."
"Okay, Prophet."
Facing the head's request, Night Walker respectfully lifted the head in the wheelchair and shook it vigorously from side to side.
"Okay, okay, I'm already a little dizzy."
When the prophet called to stop, Nightwalker put him back on the wheelchair.
Twisting the features on his face, he gradually recovered from his dizziness, and glanced at the Avengers in front of him with wide eyes, and then said in a hellish tone: "Damn it, Tony Stark , Peter Parker, haven’t you already died in the hands of Apocalypse, and Captain America, so what’s going on?”
"You know us?"
Facing the prophet's surprised reaction, the Avengers were also a little surprised. They didn't expect that there were still people in this world who knew them.
Although, this person only has one head left.
"Of course, we are the closest partners and comrades-in-arms. I once applied to join the Avengers. Although this application was rejected by Tony Stark, it does not affect our deep friendship with each other, does it?"
Raising his eyebrows, the prophet expressed his disappointment when he was refused to join the Avengers in a regretful tone. At the same time, he raised his eyes and pointed at Nightcrawler aside.
The latter reached out understandingly and lifted the prophet in the wheelchair up again.
"So, how about this time, I'm ready to fight for the Avengers."
Facing the prophet's expectant gaze, Tony under the nano-suit subconsciously frowned. Instinctively, he had already sensed the other party's problem.
"Sorry, we don't have time to think about that at the moment."
"Again, I thought it would have turned out differently under different circumstances."
Once again rejected by Tony, the prophet's expression was full of disappointment and regret, but in the next second he regained his previous ease.
"never mind……"
Although he only had one head left, the Avengers subconsciously imagined the other person's shrugging movements.
"Anyway, the Avengers are not a very good place to work. I can't stand the kind of job that requires saving the world every day. To be honest, what is wrong with the Avengers' heads that they can save those who scolded them while being scolded? Maybe the Avengers are masochists... Of course, I'm not talking about you, Captain, I know you are a good person, can you give me a warm hug?"
Seeing the head held in Nightcrawler's hand making a request to him, even Captain America, who had seen a lot, was a little confused at this moment.
"If you wish."
After looking at each other in disbelief with the Avengers on the side, he still reached out and responded.
"Nice chest muscles. I once had a perfect body that's not inferior to yours."
In Captain America's arms, after squinting his eyes and enjoying it, the prophet came out with some reluctance and sighed at the same time.
"It's a pity that I only have one head left now, except that I can..."
"Ahem, prophet."
Realizing that the prophet's topic was slipping in an increasingly dangerous direction, Night Walker coughed repeatedly.
"Okay, okay...I know..."
Rolling his eyes helplessly, he stopped talking. The prophet complained somewhat unwillingly: "I only have one head left, and you still don't allow me to have some fantasies. You want me to know that I am living in this world every day." The only thing left to do is fantasize.”
After smacking his lips and complaining about his current situation, the prophet changed the subject and finally returned to the main topic of this meeting.
"I am Wade Winston Wilson. I was once a great mercenary that everyone loved, but as you can see, now I only have one head left. I am called the Prophet by the surviving mutants. Although I personally like the name Leader better, they don't agree, so..."
He explained endlessly what happened to him, leaving out some descriptions that he didn't care much about and descriptions that were obviously boastful.
The Avengers roughly figured out what happened to the man known as the Prophet.
According to Wade, he once acted as a non-staff member of the X-Men. One day, the world's oldest mutant who called himself Apocalypse appeared and attempted to rule the entire world.
Originally, Wade didn't feel much about this. Anyway, the Avengers or the X-Men would handle this kind of thing.
However, the power shown by Apocalypse exceeded everyone's imagination. Not only did he defeat the Avengers and X-Men who blocked him, but even the powerful Professor , Apocalypse, who finally defeated the X-Men, absorbed the powerful spiritual power of Professor
The whole world has fallen under the power of Apocalypse, and Wade naturally has no reason to resist. However, his girlfriend has also changed due to the infection of the mutant factor.
Although he himself did not reject this change, his girlfriend obviously could not accept it, which led to Wade being forced to join the mutant group that resisted the rule of Apocalypse.
As for the final result, there is no doubt that they failed.
Except for Wade, who survived with only one head left, the entire mutant resistance was defeated by Apocalypse, and even a few guys he knew were transformed into his knights by Apocalypse. Our website:
