Taking Action

Then Wade and Fire Fist appeared on the other side at the same time. Wade said, "Kid, you broke out again. This time, I’m hanging you from a flagpole for seven days and seven nights."

Fire Fist flew into a rage. "I just saved you."

"You didn’t save me. You did try to save me, but you didn’t actually succeed."

With a serious expression, Wade said, "Oh, right, I just saved your life. Remember to pay me back later."

"Wade, you’re such an asshole."

Fire Fist cursed furiously. He must have been under some kind of spell earlier, or why else would he have come back to save this bastard? Wade shrugged. "Is this your first day knowing me?"

"How is this possible? Why can you use Teleportation?"

Greed shouted in disbelief from the side. A Space Cage plus a spatial lockdown, a double seal. How could Wade still teleport? This wasn’t magic! "Because my BOSS is insanely awesome. Fire Fist, go help the others. Leave this place to me. Don’t worry about the church. I talked to Psylocke a couple of days ago, and she agreed to help."

Wade gestured for Fire Fist to assist the others. Fire Fist rolled his eyes unhappily. Why should he help anyone else? Wouldn’t it be better to take this chance to run away?

That was what he thought, but Fire Fist still obediently went to help. As an orphan, his feelings toward Wade were rather strange. He even suspected he might have Stockholm Syndrome.

"Die!"

Greed roared, firing countless rays at Wade. Wade smiled disdainfully and teleported behind Greed, stabbing his sword through Greed’s body and lifting him entirely off the ground.

Greed screamed, and his body suddenly vanished. Only an eye remained on the Adamantium sword. Then Greed appeared on the other side, tearing open his clothes as an eye on his chest lit up with a dazzling glow.

Wade instinctively looked toward the eye. The moment he did, his consciousness immediately blurred, and he could no longer even control his own body.

Greed was overjoyed. The eye on his chest turned into a streak of light and flew toward Wade. It was the Puppet Eye, and he intended to turn Wade into a puppet.

Just as the eye was about to strike Wade in the chest, Wade suddenly raised his sword and cleaved it in two.

Wade grinned. "Surprise!"

"Ah!"

Greed let out a scream, then shouted in disbelief, "Impossible! Why weren’t you affected by the Puppet Eye?"

"Because my BOSS is pretty badass."

As Wade spoke, he fired a bolt of lightning that blew up the Hypnotic Eye in the air. The guards instantly returned to normal. Their rage exploded as they wildly fired at the believers, forcing them to duck behind the jeeps again.

"That line again? No matter how awesome Iron Man is, he isn’t here."

Greed shouted in frustration. Wade looked at him with pity. BOSS had returned long ago. You just didn’t know it.

"Die."

Wade could not be bothered to waste more words. He teleported beside Greed and cut off his head with one strike. Unfortunately, Greed had the Substitute Death Eye and escaped through an eye once again.

Wade did not get discouraged and continued hunting Greed down. His Teleportation had no interval, and he was absurdly fast. Greed could not withstand him at all and was cut down again and again.

Greed soon could not take it anymore. He transformed into an eye made of Black Qi and fled toward Wrath, with Wade relentlessly pursuing him from behind.

Let us turn back time a little. The instant Fire Fist turned back to save Wade, Cable sensed something and looked at the teddy bear on his waist. He discovered that the teddy bear, which had been charred black, had returned to its original appearance.

"The future changed? How? I didn’t even kill Fire Fist."

Cable stared in astonishment. Seeing him distracted, Yuriko immediately rushed over, ready to drive her nails into Cable’s head. She refused to believe electricity could come out of his head too.

Seeing this, Jean used telekinesis to push Yuriko away. Facing Yuriko’s confused gaze, Jean explained, "His killing intent is gone."

Yuriko looked at Cable. "Huh?"

"Though I don’t know what happened, it seems my mission is complete."

Cable lowered the gun in his hand. "We don’t need to fight anymore."

Yuriko was stunned. What the hell was this? They were fighting, and suddenly he said his mission was complete?

"One thought brings Heaven, one thought brings Hell."

The black-and-gold Iron Man Armor floated down from the dormitory building. Wang Bert said, "Fire Fist will not become a Demon King in the future, because he has a good father."

"BOSS!"

Yuriko greeted him respectfully. When Man Bull and the others saw Wang Bert appear, they all cheered. "BOSS is here!"

Viper and the others looked awful. This time, they had truly tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to bait it.

Wang Bert turned around and coldly shouted at Viper, "All of you, kneel. I’ll deal with you later. Anyone who doesn’t kneel dies."

Viper very sensibly dropped to her knees. Seeing this, the other rebellious prisoners also knelt one after another. Man Bull and the others sneered. Serves you right for acting so arrogant. Finished now, aren’t you?

"Man Bull, you all did well. Once this matter is over, I’ll carefully review your files. If there are no problems, I’ll grant you your freedom."

Wang Bert continued, "However, you must accept three months of surveillance."

"No problem."

Man Bull and the others shouted joyfully. The former neutral faction deeply regretted their choice upon hearing this. If they had known, they would have helped earlier.

Thinking of something, Man Bull hurriedly asked, "Mr. Iron Man, after we’re free, can we still work for you?"

The others also looked at Wang Bert with Trepidation. Although public opinion was improving, working for someone else could not compare to working for Iron Man. Rebirth Group strictly forbade discrimination against mutants. Moreover, Wang Bert paid extremely well, and his company never required overtime.

It was worth mentioning that Wang Bert did not subsidize his employees with his own money. He simply spent all the profits on them. It was not that he lacked money; money was merely a number to him. But a healthy company could not operate by constantly throwing money at it.

Wang Bert smiled. "Of course. Rebirth Group has plenty of positions, and you can choose freely."

Everyone cheered, "Long live BOSS!"

Watching this scene, Jean quietly sighed. Back then, she and the professor had both believed Wang Bert could never succeed. Yet not only had he succeeded spectacularly, he had become unstoppable.

The title Mutant Savior truly belonged to Wang Bert. Setting everything else aside, the mutants working for him were already approaching one hundred thousand. Half of those mutants had once been homeless, and they were deeply grateful to Wang Bert because he had saved their lives.

After handling the mutant prisoners, Wang Bert turned to Cable and said, "Help us fight, and our previous grievances will be wiped clean. As for everything else, we can discuss it after this battle."

Cable nodded. "All right. I really want to know why the future suddenly changed."

Wang Bert did not waste any more words. He led Jean, Cable, and Yuriko toward the entrance.

At the entrance, the Black Qi eye Greed had transformed into shot straight into Wrath’s body. Wrath’s mind was filled entirely with rage. The bastards around him were simply too disgusting.

In a head-on fight, Wrath was confident he could crush them within five minutes. The problem was that they would not fight him head-on. Vomiting Boy, Tunneling Guard, and other mutants repeatedly used their abilities to disrupt his attacks, leaving him unable to kill Wolverine and the others.

Wrath was not the only one disgusted. Wolverine and the others felt the same way. This guy was not only monstrously strong, but impossible to kill. They had battled him for so long, yet his health was still full.

If this continued, they would eventually be exhausted to death, especially Cyclops. He felt as if his eyes were about to burn out.

At that moment, the Black Qi eye entered Wrath’s body. Greed shouted, "Wrath, give me control of the body. Let’s merge."

Wrath did not trust Greed and shouted, "I’ll control the new body."

Greed roared, "Your anger will cloud your mind. Wrath, do you still want to revive your wife and child?"

Wrath gritted his teeth and gave Greed control of the body. The two officially merged, and Wrath’s body rapidly grew eyes all over it, looking bizarre beyond measure.

"They can merge too? Cyclops, fire your lasers with me. Storm, bring down lightning. Tank, blast him to pieces."

Wade was startled, then his eyes lit with red light. Two laser beams howled forth and fiercely struck Wrath’s—or rather, Greed’s—waist.

"Why does your ability feel like you copied mine?"

Cyclops gave Wade a suspicious look, then fired his lasers again. Storm flew into the sky and drew down a torrent of lightning onto Greed. At the same time, the tank fired once more, launching a shell with tremendous force.

Facing so many attacks, Greed grinned. A huge eye appeared, swallowing all the lasers and lightning. Then he grabbed the tank shell with one hand. The shell exploded with a boom, but Greed remained completely unscathed.

"This feeling is amazing."

Greed laughed wildly. His fusion with Wrath was not as simple as one plus one. His strength now far surpassed what it had been before.

Then Greed released the energy stored in the Energy-Absorbing Eye. Red light mixed with lightning blasted toward Cyclops, who hurriedly dodged. Wade teleported behind Greed and stabbed his sword toward the back of his head.

An eye appeared out of nowhere at the back of Greed’s head and glared fiercely at Wade. Wade immediately felt drowsy. Greed seized the chance to hammer him away with a backhand blow, sending Wade flying like a meteor.

Wolverine and Juggernaut charged toward Greed from opposite sides. Then they both fiercely attacked Greed’s waist at the same time.

Greed smiled disdainfully. Two eyes flew out from his body and landed on Wolverine and Juggernaut’s faces. Both of them screamed. A moment later, their screams stopped, and they stood there with vacant expressions.

Wolverine and Juggernaut had been turned into puppets by Greed.

Seeing this, Vomiting Boy hurriedly used his ability. At the same time, Tunneling Guard rapidly moved underground, trying to rescue Wolverine and Juggernaut.

Greed ignored Vomiting Boy’s ability and stomped hard on the ground. With a boom, the earth split apart, and Tunneling Guard was flung out of the ground, vomiting blood in great mouthfuls.

That was not all. Greed then kicked hard, sending a mass of dirt hurtling toward Vomiting Boy like a meteor. If it hit, Vomiting Boy would certainly die. Fortunately, Wade suddenly appeared beside him and teleported him away.

Then Wade released Vomiting Boy and joined Storm in striking Greed with lightning. Greed grabbed the tank beside him and violently hurled it at Storm.

Wade cursed, kicked Storm away, then teleported into the tank and vanished with its driver.

"Kill them."

Greed grinned and ordered Wolverine and Juggernaut. The two nodded and charged expressionlessly at Cyclops and the others.

Storm shouted, "We can’t hold on anymore! Didn’t someone say they could call Iron Man? Hurry up and have him call for help."

Wade shrugged. "Ma’am, I have some very unfortunate news. The person who can call BOSS is Wolverine, and he was just controlled."

Storm was dumbfounded. This was heading for a total wipeout! Greed laughed arrogantly. "Do you see? This is the power of My God. No one can stop My God. Today, New York will surely be destroyed by me. I am Greed, I am Wrath, I am the messenger of God."

Just as Greed was boasting, a black sphere struck his head and turned into a black hole. Greed’s head was instantly swallowed. The next moment, Greed’s body vanished. When it reappeared, it was already more than ten meters away, and his headless corpse rapidly regenerated.

The Adamantium Armor flew onto the battlefield and sneered. "The power of God? If you truly had faith in God, you wouldn’t have lured me away."

"BOSS!"

The guards cheered loudly. With BOSS here, they did not need to fear any monsters or demons. Storm and Cyclops also breathed sighs of relief. The main force had finally returned.

"Storm, Cyclops, let’s take down Wolverine and Juggernaut together, then deal with those guys outside."

Wade shouted to the others. Cyclops looked at the controlled Wolverine and smiled happily. "Believe me, I’ve wanted to beat Wolverine up for a long time."

"Wang Bert, why are you back? That’s impossible. My people didn’t signal me. You should still be at the Hilton Hotel."

Greed fully regenerated and shouted in disbelief. The waiter had a special eye in his hand. If Iron Man left, he would immediately crush that eye to notify Greed.

"The dead don’t need to know so much."

Wang Bert could not be bothered to explain. He abruptly teleported behind Greed, raised his Nano Katana, and viciously slashed it down at Greed’s head.

An eye grew from the back of Greed’s head again and fired a hypnotic wave at Wang Bert. But Wang Bert was completely unaffected. His blade came down, splitting Greed’s head in half.

Adamantium combined with the armor was something even Wrath could not withstand.

At that moment, Greed disappeared, leaving only an eye where he had stood. Then he appeared in the distance, his head rapidly regenerating.

"Spatial lockdown."

Greed’s right eye flew out and merged into the air, sealing the space. Wang Bert smiled disdainfully and suddenly appeared to Greed’s left, slashing his sword toward Greed’s neck.

"Why can you still teleport when space has clearly been locked down?"

Greed was on the verge of losing it. Ignoring Wang Bert’s blade, he swung his left fist hard at him. Wang Bert abruptly teleported to Greed’s right, swung his sword, and sent Greed’s head flying high into the air.

The Substitute Death Eye immediately activated, preparing to take Greed away. At that moment, Wang Bert shouted, "No Teleportation."

His words became law, directly interrupting the spatial fluctuation. Greed remained where he was.

"Who gave you the nerve to teleport in front of me?"

Wang Bert sneered. Nanoparticles condensed into two cannon barrels. Then two enormous black spheres blasted out, turning into two black holes that swallowed Greed’s head and body.
