Soul Possession

Without a doubt, Magneto was the one who acted. He said arrogantly, "I’ve always wanted to tear down this Goddess Statue, but I never expected the president to pay me to do it."

As he spoke, Magneto shook his large hand, and the screws at the goddess’s feet rapidly turned at once, detaching from her body.

"Magneto, we will definitely fulfill the conditions you requested. Rest assured."

The president shouted. Magneto’s conditions were harsh, but he did not care, because he would soon be leaving office.

"Struggling on the brink of death."

At Senator Cabo’s voice, large amounts of Black Qi rose from the goddess’s feet. All the screws twisted back into place, and then the Statue of Liberty leaned forward, her massive torch smashing toward Magneto like a meteorite.

Magneto raised his other hand, and the torch immediately froze in midair. Then, Magneto lifted both hands at once, and the Statue of Liberty rose from the ground, slowly floating into the air.

That was not all. Magneto took a deep breath and controlled the Statue of Liberty as she flew toward the shore. Clearly, he wanted to throw the statue into the sea.

"God, is that something a human can do?"

Everyone cried out in shock. A shriveled old man was controlling the enormous Statue of Liberty and making her fly. It was simply unbelievable.

The reporters snapped photos nonstop. They had even thought of the headline already: ‘Man, or God?’

"Mutants really are terrifying."

Presidential candidate Acton’s eyes flickered. The Statue of Liberty weighed 225 tons, yet Magneto had lifted her.

That was 225 tons, equivalent to more than a hundred cars. Not only ordinary people, but even mutants were dumbfounded. What kind of power was that? Wolverine was utterly despairing. With Magneto’s abilities, he would never be able to beat him up in this lifetime.

Wang Bert was quite calm. After all, in the movies, Magneto had once lifted the Steel Bridge. There had not only been hundreds of people on that bridge, but dozens of cars as well.

"What terrifying power. Unfortunately, you cannot save this world."

Senator Cabo controlled the Black Qi into a gigantic tentacle and smashed it toward Magneto. Seeing this, everyone hurried to help.

"Break!"

Storm floated in the air, her eyes rolling white. An enormous bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck the tentacle fiercely. The tentacle was instantly destroyed, turning into Black Qi and dispersing.

Senator Cabo formed another tentacle and continued smashing it toward Magneto.

"Spatial Black Hole."

Wang Bert filled the gap, releasing a Spatial Black Hole in front of the tentacle. The tentacle suddenly twisted and burst through the black hole from above.

Cyclops wanted to help, but a monster knocked him down. At the same time, the others were also entangled by monsters. With no more obstacles, the tentacle smashed viciously down at Magneto.

Just then, a cloud of red smoke appeared beside Magneto. It was Azazel. He grabbed Magneto’s shoulder and vanished with him.

Without Magneto’s control, the Statue of Liberty crashed onto the grass with a thunderous boom, kicking up countless clumps of dirt and grass. A wave of dust swept toward everyone like a gale.

"All that effort for nothing. What a pity."

Everyone was deeply disappointed. Fortunately, they still had a chance.

Magneto, who had appeared in the distance, took a deep breath and prepared to repeat his earlier move. At that moment, a tentacle passed through space and smashed hard into Magneto’s back.

Magneto screamed as he flew forward, landing on the ground and coughing up blood. Seeing this, Azazel hurriedly used Teleportation to bring Magneto back into the crowd.

"It’s useless. You’re all struggling on the brink of death."

Senator Cabo laughed arrogantly. Wang Bert flicked his hand, and a black hole appeared out of nowhere, swallowing the half of Senator Cabo’s tentacle that had passed through space.

Senator Cabo’s laughter came to an abrupt stop. He glared at Wang Bert and controlled the Statue of Liberty to climb back up.

The president hurriedly asked Magneto, "Magneto, can you still fight?"

Magneto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said weakly, "Not for now. I need to rest."

Everyone was disappointed. Wang Bert frowned. "Is Magneto really this fragile?"

The professor said, "I sensed that Erik was already injured."

"Already injured? So this was my fault?"

Wang Bert smiled awkwardly. At that moment, the Statue of Liberty climbed out of the pit. Wolverine and Psylocke exchanged a glance, then charged toward her at the same time.

"Die!"

Standing on the Green Goblin Glider, Psylocke formed a purple greatsword more than twenty meters long and slashed straight at the Statue of Liberty from the left. When the guests saw the familiar purple light, they immediately erupted into cheers.

"You’re not good enough."

Senator Cabo formed a tentacle and smashed it toward Psylocke. Psylocke withdrew her greatsword and slashed at the tentacle, but the tentacle suddenly turned into Black Qi, and her blade cut through empty air.

Then, the tentacle solidified again and struck Psylocke hard. She was sent flying, and the Green Goblin Glider hurried over to catch her.

At that moment, Wolverine rushed beneath the Statue of Liberty’s feet. He roared, driving his claws fiercely into her ankle. Then he sprinted forward, tearing three huge gashes across the Statue of Liberty’s ankle.

Senator Cabo snorted. Black Qi surged from the Statue of Liberty’s feet, and her ankle rapidly healed. Then, the Statue of Liberty twisted her foot. Logan screamed as he was sent flying backward, rolling across the ground nonstop.

"The Statue of Liberty isn’t hard to deal with. Senator Cabo is the real problem."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Bert used Teleportation to bring Wade to one side.

It was not that Wang Bert had no way to deal with Senator Cabo. He simply did not want to waste money, so he decided to use a cheaper option.

Wade asked warily, "BOSS, what are you planning? Why do I feel like you’re full of hostility toward me?"

"Nonsense. Do you think I’m that kind of person? Wade, I’m giving you a chance to prove yourself."

Wang Bert snapped his fingers, and a transparent coffin appeared beside him out of thin air. The person inside was Modified Deadpool.

Wade looked at Modified Deadpool with disgust. "This guy hasn’t been thrown into a junkyard yet?"

"This is a treasure. How could I throw it into a junkyard?"

Wang Bert said, "Wade, next, I’ll strip out your soul and place it in this body."

"Strip out my soul? BOSS, you can even do that?"

Wade was shocked. Then he waved his hands repeatedly. "BOSS, I’m still young. You should find someone else for this, like Logan. He won’t die anyway."

"Only you can use this body."

Wang Bert said irritably. Soul Possession was not simple. The soul and body had to be compatible. It was not like some kind of eye that could be plucked out, put into a socket, and used without even needing drivers installed.

"BOSS, please allow me to refuse."

Wade shook his head. "No matter what, I will never enter that guy’s body. The moment I see him, I want to tear him to pieces."

Wang Bert said calmly, "Five hundred thousand dollars per use."

"BOSS, what do you take me for?"

Wade was furious. He asked, "Before tax or after tax?"

Wang Bert said, "After tax. Hurry up. The others can’t hold back the Statue of Liberty."

"After tax? I like it."

Wade beamed and said with an expression of self-sacrifice, "BOSS, remember to be gentle."

Wang Bert rolled his eyes and struck Wade in the chest with his palm, knocking his soul out of his body.

"You really knocked it out?"

Wade stared curiously at his collapsing body. At that moment, Wang Bert grabbed his soul and forcefully stuffed it into Modified Deadpool’s body.

"BOSS, be gentle. It kind of hurts…"

Wade shouted. The next second, he completely merged with Modified Deadpool’s body without the slightest awkwardness, as if he had always been the master of that body.

Moreover, a great deal of information appeared in Wade’s mind—information about this body.

"Wow, this guy is so ugly, yet he has so many abilities. No wonder BOSS refused to give up on him."

Wade wanted to exclaim, but discovered he could not speak. He rolled his eyes. This body really was infuriating.

"Go, Wade."

Wang Bert shouted, "Let them see what you can do."

Wade said nothing. He Teleported directly in front of Senator Cabo. Then, a longsword emerged from the back of his hand and slashed viciously at Senator Cabo.

Senator Cabo was startled and hurriedly dodged. Then, the Black Qi around him turned into more than ten tentacles, all smashing toward Wade at once.

Wade Teleported more than ten meters away. Then his eyes glowed red, and two red laser beams shot fiercely at Senator Cabo. Senator Cabo’s tentacles were instantly blasted apart, and he hurriedly turned into black mist to evade them.

Seeing this, Wade pushed both hands forward. Massive currents of electricity struck Senator Cabo, who screamed and reverted to his original form, falling to the ground.

"Who is this guy? He’s so powerful?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, including Magneto and the professor. They had never seen this mutant before.

"His aura is rather strange. He seems like a laboratory product."

The professor’s eyes flashed. This person might be one of Stryker’s experiments.

"How did this guy get out?"

Wolverine and Yuriko were somewhat stunned. Turning around, they saw Wang Bert placing Wade’s body into the transparent coffin.

Wade saw it too and was speechless. BOSS, I’m not dead yet?

Unfortunately, Wade could not speak now. He rolled his eyes, Teleported beside Senator Cabo, and slashed down fiercely with his sword.

"Vermin, die!"

Senator Cabo flew into a rage, controlling a tentacle to send Wade flying. Then he roared, and the Black Qi around his body swelled wildly, completely engulfing him.

When the Black Qi dissipated, a gigantic monster covered in tentacles appeared before everyone. Even more bizarrely, Senator Cabo’s face was on the front of the monster.

"God!"

The guests all cried out in alarm. Could Senator Cabo be a demon that had crawled out of Hell?

"How is this possible? This is actually the aura of Hell?"

Wang Bert was greatly shocked. He had not been able to sense it earlier, but now he was certain that Senator Cabo’s power came from Hell.

The problem was that Mutant Planet should not have Hell.

"I feel like I need more money."

Wade’s eyes glowed red, and two laser beams shot fiercely toward Senator Cabo. Senator Cabo controlled his tentacles to block the lasers. Then, two other tentacles passed through space and tightly wrapped around Wade, intending to strangle him alive.

Senator Cabo sneered endlessly. "Idiot, you have no idea how powerful I am."

At that moment, dazzling electric light flashed from Wade’s body. The tentacles were electrocuted and lost their strength. Wade seized the chance to Teleport in front of Senator Cabo, shooting two laser beams fiercely at Senator Cabo’s huge face.

Senator Cabo used Black Qi to block the lasers. Then, he controlled a tentacle covered in spikes and smashed it fiercely toward Wade. Wade tried to Teleport, only to discover that space had been disrupted and he could not Teleport.

The next second, countless spikes stabbed fiercely into Wade’s body. Wade let out a shrill scream, blood gushing from his body as if it were free.

A moment later, Wade lost all signs of life, even closing his eyes. Senator Cabo laughed loudly and flung Wade away with all his strength.

The instant he broke free from control, Wade opened his eyes. At the same time, his injuries healed at a visible rate.

Wade chuckled and Teleported beside Senator Cabo. Then, he swung his Adamantium longsword and cut off one of Senator Cabo’s tentacles.

If Wade had been able to speak, he definitely would have shouted, "Surprise!" "You’re not dead?"

Senator Cabo was somewhat surprised. While sealing off the surrounding space, he controlled vast amounts of Black Qi into air spikes and shot them at Wade. Wade dodged them one after another with his high-speed reflexes.

Just as Senator Cabo was about to attack again, a black hole suddenly appeared beside his tentacles and swallowed two of them. Wang Bert had officially joined the battle.

"Bert Wang."

Senator Cabo was furious. Three tentacles smashed down at Wang Bert simultaneously. Wang Bert smiled disdainfully and Teleported away. Then, he raised a hand and pointed at Wade. "I bless you."

What use is a blessing? You should just give me a raise.

Wade silently complained. At that moment, he sensed that he could Teleport again. Overjoyed, he immediately Teleported behind Senator Cabo and fired two fierce laser beams. Senator Cabo howled in pain.

"How is this possible? Didn’t I seal off the surrounding space?"

Senator Cabo looked incredulous. He hurriedly swung his tentacles at Wade, but Wade immediately Teleported and attacked from another direction.

Wang Bert coordinated with Wade from the side. With Wang Bert’s blessing, Senator Cabo could forget about sealing Wade off—this was the blessing of the Space Lord.

"I’ll kill both of you!"

Senator Cabo, who had been getting beaten nonstop, flew into a rage and attacked wildly. However, against two people with Teleportation abilities, he had no way to deal with them and could only take hits passively.

Wang Bert snorted inwardly. It’s a pity this guy has self-healing abilities. Otherwise, we could knock him down in five minutes.

At the same time, the battles elsewhere were raging as well. The X-Men, Security Team, and Mutant Brotherhood joined forces against more than a hundred monsters, fighting without falling behind in the slightest.

Meanwhile, Psylocke, Yuriko, and Wolverine surrounded and attacked the Statue of Liberty together.

"So what if you’re the Statue of Liberty? I’ve even cut meteorites before."

Psylocke stood on the Green Goblin Glider and swung her purple greatsword, more than ten meters long, toward the Statue of Liberty’s shoulder. The Statue of Liberty raised her torch and smashed it toward Psylocke.

At that moment, Wolverine and Yuriko tore open the Statue of Liberty’s left ankle from both sides. Without Senator Cabo’s help, the Statue of Liberty’s recovery speed was far slower than the speed of their destruction.

When Wolverine and Yuriko reached her heel, the Statue of Liberty’s foot had been completely torn open, and she involuntarily tilted to the left.

Psylocke seized the chance to evade the Statue of Liberty’s attack. Then she slashed at the Statue of Liberty’s arm, instantly severing the goddess’s right arm holding the torch. With a boom, it fell to the ground, kicking up a huge amount of dirt.

Seeing this, Magneto pushed his hand forward, and the Statue of Liberty’s arm flew toward the sea like a cannonball.

Large amounts of Black Qi surged from the Statue of Liberty’s arm, trying to break free and fly back to her body. Magneto snorted and forcibly controlled the arm, making it fly farther and farther away.

Although injured, Magneto was still Magneto. Dealing with one arm was not much of a problem.

Seeing Magneto send the arm away, Psylocke and the other two were overjoyed. They continued attacking the Statue of Liberty with Adamantium weapons. Without Senator Cabo, the Statue of Liberty was extremely clumsy and no match for the three of them. Her body was repeatedly torn open.

The Statue of Liberty was ultimately only a low-level magical construct.
