#364 - The Secret of the Marvel Multiverse! The Awakening of the Phoenix Force!
Cassandra Nova Xavier had also seen those bizarre memories in Deadpool's brain.
In fact, because of Luo Fu, Cassandra Nova Xavier meticulously watched all the memories in Deadpool's brain over and over again, almost to the point of observing them under a microscope.
Even Deadpool's childhood memories of bed-wetting, and even his experiences of breastfeeding as a baby before he had formed clear memories, were all clear to Cassandra Nova Xavier.
She could even list the times Deadpool masturbated like a family treasure.
Even so, Cassandra Nova Xavier did not discover the scene behind Deadpool's so-called fourth wall.
How could Professor X, as her own brother, and even more powerful than herself in terms of mental abilities, fall into madness just by looking at Deadpool's memories?
At this moment, Cassandra Nova Xavier felt an unprecedented disappointment towards Professor X, and even deep down, Cassandra Nova Xavier had the thought that Professor X was not worthy of being her brother.
"Professor… Professor, he is…" Wolverine tried several times to explain for Professor X.
But racking his brains, Wolverine couldn't think of any suitable reason.
Was it because Cassandra Nova Xavier had thoroughly searched Deadpool's memories in front of Wolverine before?
And Cassandra Nova Xavier purely regarded Deadpool's so-called breaking of the fourth wall as a lunatic's fantasy. Only Professor X went crazy because of it.
Even now that he has regained consciousness, the fact that he went crazy because of Deadpool's memories cannot be erased.
Too lazy to pay attention to Wolverine's persuasion, Cassandra Nova Xavier looked directly at Luo Fu and said, "Your Majesty, they are about to fight. Do we want to take action?"
"Of course."
Before Luo Fu could speak, Deadpool couldn't help but say, "Is the me in this world an idiot? How could he believe in some Outer God and do such a crazy thing?"
At this moment, Wolverine nodded in agreement.
This is because of Luo Fu's appearance. Deadpool did not encounter the Deadpool Corps, nor did he use that Deadpool without healing abilities as a shield in front of Wolverine. Now, Wolverine still overestimates Deadpool's moral bottom line.
Luo Fu's mouth twitched, and he said, "Wade, do you think this tragic sacrifice is because of that Outer God?"
"Don't those strange gods all like these things?"
After nodding subconsciously, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Deadpool's mind, and he instantly reacted.
Or rather, Deadpool just didn't react just now and spoke too quickly.
Of course, this is also related to the focus of Deadpool's own concern.
In the Marvel Multiverse, not every universe has a Deadpool who can break the fourth wall.
Just like in the universe where Luo Fu was born, although there is Thanos and the Inhumans, there is no Deadpool.
Deadpool is certainly more concerned about the characters who can intersect with him.
Like Luo Fu, this kind of Outer God, in Deadpool's mind, is like discussing the leader of some remote small country. Although he knows that there is indeed a small country leader like Luo Fu in this world, it is more like a background setting for Deadpool.
When playing games, how many people really bother to look at the background settings?
Once you jump out of the plot, in most cases, you skip it quickly.
And like Luo Fu, for Deadpool, he is at most a background setting.
If it weren't for the fact that there is a version of himself in this universe who is crazy and sacrificing to him, Deadpool would never have thought that an Outer God like Luo Fu would have a connection with himself in some universe.
Instantly raising his hands, making a gesture of surrender, Deadpool said, "Your Majesty, you have to believe me, I must have been bewitched by Professor X just now, yes, it must have been his ability that caused it."
Wolverine sneered and said disdainfully, "Professor doesn't seem to have noticed our existence yet, and you actually say everything was caused by the Professor?"
"Otherwise?"
Deadpool glanced at Wolverine and said, "Don't tell me, you think Your Majesty likes this kind of sacrifice like those evil gods in the universe?"
"You seem to be ignoring the main point."
Cassandra Nova Xavier said calmly, "Have you forgotten why these people are performing such a sacrifice?"
A thunderclap instantly exploded in Wolverine's mind, and he blurted out, "It's Jean, it must be Jean."
Compared to these Wolverine, Deadpool, and Cassandra Nova Xavier, Luo Fu is actually more concerned about the Kamar-Taj mages who are hiding around this huge altar and completed this bloody sacrifice with Deadpool.
In this sacrifice, although it seems that Deadpool is in the lead, in fact, the real host of this sacrifice is Wang, who is trusted by the Ancient One.
That's right.
If this sacrifice is a bloody stage play, Deadpool is at most the host of this sacrifice, and the real director of this sacrifice is Wang.
While the few people were arguing.
On the altar, Deadpool and Professor X finally seemed to have broken down and were about to fight.
Just as Professor X was about to make a move, Deadpool suddenly reached out and pointed behind Professor X, saying, "Professor, I think you should look behind you first."
His heart tightened instantly.
The next moment, a helmet instantly fell from a space channel flashing with sparks.
While Professor X dodged, another space portal appeared, swallowing the helmet while also firmly placing the helmet on Professor X's head.
"Oh, Wade, what are you doing?"
In an instant, Professor X, who had been put on the helmet, clearly felt that his superpowers were firmly locked.
Seeing Professor X's situation with his own eyes, Cassandra Nova Xavier couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart.
She subconsciously glanced at Wolverine and Deadpool.
In fact, Cassandra Nova Xavier and Professor X have the same abilities.
But the difference is that Professor X is more powerful than Cassandra Nova Xavier in terms of mental abilities.
Cassandra Nova Xavier still needs to personally touch the other party to be able to use her abilities, while Professor X's spirit, even with the help of instruments, can cover the entire globe, and can even instantly erase the spirit of all Earthlings.
Professor X is indeed much stronger than his sister in terms of pure mental abilities.
But Cassandra Nova Xavier has many more abilities than Professor X.
Overall, Cassandra Nova Xavier is actually a more powerful being than Professor X.
But in any case, like Professor X, while Cassandra Nova Xavier's abilities are powerful, she also has her own weaknesses.
That is, once she puts on this kind of helmet that can suppress the use of abilities, she can only be slaughtered.
Professor X is like this, and so is Cassandra Nova Xavier.
Feeling a little hairy from being stared at by Cassandra Nova Xavier, Deadpool twisted his body and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? The one who put the helmet on your brother is another Deadpool, not me. If you want to kill him, I can help."
Even Wolverine couldn't help but say at this moment, "I can also help. Deadpool's healing ability is certainly powerful, but there are good ways to deal with it!"
On the altar.
As Professor X was put on the helmet that suppressed his abilities by the Kamar-Taj mages hiding in the Mirror Dimension.
Space channels flashing with sparks continued to open.
Many mages finally appeared in person on the altar.
"Wade, we have completed this sacrifice according to your request. Why hasn't that Outer God appeared yet?"
Wang's face was full of exhaustion, and he questioned Deadpool with an unkind tone.
Touching his chin, Deadpool said, "Maybe it's because the opponent hasn't appeared yet? You have to be clear that we are sacrificing to a being comparable to the Eternal God. How can I possibly know what the other party is thinking? But trust me, with this sacrifice plus the appearance of that Phoenix, the Outer God will definitely come."
"Are you sure?"
Wang looked at the tragic and bloody sacrifice scene with heartache, and said, "Although these people are all damned super criminals, doing so is also harmful to the Earth."
"Don't say that."
Deadpool came to Wang's side very familiarly, reached out and patted Wang's shoulder and said, "We are saving the Earth, we are saviors, we are the Jesus of the new era."
"I only hope that I don't become the Judas of the new era!"
Wang smiled wryly.
"We are no match for that crazy woman."
Deadpool said as a matter of course, "Of course we have to find someone who can deal with that woman. If you Kamar-Taj can summon Eternity, we wouldn't have to summon the Outer God in this way, would we?"
After nodding subconsciously, Wang suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and stared at Deadpool and said, "I was wondering before, how did you know the way to summon the Outer God? Moreover, why would a being like the Eternal God like this blood sacrifice!"
"The Outer God doesn't like it."
Deadpool said as a matter of course.
But his words made Wang instantly feel a little horrified.
There are two ways to interpret 'doesn't like it', one is to ignore it, and the other is to hate it.
And without a doubt, since it is a ritual that can summon the Outer God to descend, it certainly won't be the former, which means that the Outer God they summoned this time is actually a great god who hates blood sacrifices?
Then haven't they Kamar-Taj been tricked miserably by Deadpool?
Seeing that Wang was about to get angry, Deadpool quickly explained, "It is precisely because the Outer God doesn't like blood sacrifices that we have to use this method to let him descend, otherwise, who will deal with that crazy woman? You or me?"
“But…” Wang still wanted to say something.
Deadpool directly interrupted him, saying, “After the Outer God descends, considering the options, they will definitely want to deal with that crazy woman rather than us. They won't have time to bother with us then.”
“Are you sure?” Now that things had come to this, Wang knew that even complaining was useless. If killing Deadpool would help, Wang would even dare to attack directly.
“Of course.” Deadpool nodded vigorously and said, “You have to understand, we are just the weakest of the level twelve beings. And the Outer God being summoned is ranked ninth, just like the Eternal God, but the crazy woman we are facing has the Phoenix Force, which is an eighth-level existence.”
Wang glanced at Deadpool, clearly disagreeing with Deadpool's inexplicable classification method.
Although Deadpool was verbose, he understood what was most urgent at the moment.
“Wang, do you think that a ninth-level Outer God is definitely not a match for an eighth-level being?”
“Nonsense.” Wang interrupted Deadpool abruptly, saying, “If even the Eternal God is ninth-level, then the ninth-level will definitely not be inferior to the eighth-level.”
The sudden flattery stunned Deadpool for a moment.
“I know that you Kamar-Taj are followers of the Eternal God, but… we are discussing a very serious issue right now. Even if you flatter him at this time, the Eternal God won't be able to hear you!”
“What do you mean by flattering? I am expressing my thoughts very seriously!”
Deadpool nodded repeatedly, “OK! OK! OK! OK! I understand. You just need to know that as long as the Outer God descends, that crazy woman will become the Outer God's target, and then we and Earth will be safe.”
“Wade, I've said, we don't need to be so extreme.” Professor X, wearing a power-suppressing helmet and controlled by several Kamar-Taj mages, looked at Deadpool with heartache and said, “We have a way to solve all this.”
“Solve it?” Deadpool shook his head and said, “Are you saying we should let that crazy woman kill at will, and it will end when she's tired of killing?”
After a slight pause, Deadpool said in a rare, serious tone, “Professor, believe me, you have no idea how terrifying that crazy woman's power will be once it breaks through your seal. You don't really believe that she has been sealed by you all along, do you?”
Deadpool's words immediately silenced Professor X.
From the beginning, Professor X knew that the power within Jean was something he couldn't contend with. It was just that the young Jean couldn't control her own power. Professor X took advantage of Jean's youth and her active cooperation to seal her power to some extent.
But Professor X also knew that his seal was destined to be broken by a naturally powerful mutant like Jean.
In Professor X's original plan, his seal should have been gradually lifted, but who would have thought that a sudden change would cause everything to completely spiral out of control.
The entire Earth is now in grave danger.
Jean's threat is no longer just to humans and mutants, but to the entire Earth!
As the host of the Phoenix Force,
Jean's strength is so powerful that even in the multiverse, few can match her.
Of course, this refers to Jean after truly accepting the Phoenix Force, not just Jean as a mutant.
Don't simply equate Jean and the Phoenix Force completely.
In fact, the difference between the two is distinct.
Although the mutant Jean is also very powerful, it is mostly due to the stimulation of the Phoenix Force.
The essence of the Phoenix Force is so powerful that even if the legendary level five mutant really appeared, there would be no possibility of contending with the Phoenix Force.
Level five mutants are only theoretical existences. Although mutants such as Legion, Psylocke, and Red Queen are considered level five mutants, in reality, they are completely different concepts from Jean.
The essence of Jean's power is mainly due to the Phoenix Force.
At this stage, even Professor X, the mastermind who sealed Jean's consciousness, creating a situation where Black Phoenix and Jean coexisted, still has a great bias in his understanding of the Phoenix Force.
This is why Professor X actually thinks he can persuade Jean.
Because he doesn't understand that as the host of the Phoenix Force, Jean's true power is not her own mutant ability, but the Phoenix Force.
“Wade.” After a moment of silence, Professor X said earnestly, “Jean's other personality was born because of my mistake. I have a responsibility to eliminate this evil personality. Please believe me, our goals are the same, we shouldn't be enemies.”
Deadpool twisted his body and said, “Professor, I'm sorry, although I also hope that you can eliminate that so-called evil personality, but you've seen my memories, you should know that the problem with that crazy woman is not an evil personality at all.”
Deadpool's words instantly changed Professor X's expression drastically.
You must know that Professor X only woke up from madness after seeing Deadpool's memories.
But even so, Professor X still couldn't accept that everything he had experienced was just a product used by others for entertainment.
Compared to his sister Cassandra Nova Xavier, who completely regarded Deadpool's so-called ability to break the fourth wall as a crazy delusion,
Professor X was inclined to think of the truth he saw as a fantasy under Deadpool's madness, but unfortunately, every Deadpool in every world is different. In addition, although Professor X is indeed slightly stronger than his sister Cassandra Nova Xavier in terms of power,
it was precisely because of this that he increasingly believed that Deadpool really had the ability to break the fourth wall.
After seeing the so-called truth of the world in Deadpool's brain, Professor X fell into madness for the first time, and even ignored many secrets about the Marvel multiverse.
And when he regained consciousness, Professor X directly deleted ninety-nine percent of everything he saw. If he wasn't worried about problems with his personality, or that he would really delete everything he saw in Deadpool's brain, and then enter Deadpool's brain again out of curiosity, he wouldn't have left any information at all.
It was precisely because he saw too little and deleted too thoroughly.
At this moment, Professor X knew very little about Jean's situation, and even didn't know that the essence of Jean's power was very different from that of mutants. Mutants were experimental products of the Celestials, and Jean's mutant ability was more influenced by the Phoenix Force, and she herself was the host of the Phoenix Force.
“I'm sorry, Wade.” Professor X's expression became a little ugly, and he said, “The memories in your brain are too chaotic. To me, the things in your brain are completely mental pollution. In order to regain clarity, I had to delete most of the information I saw in your brain.”
Deadpool waved his hand indifferently and said, “It doesn't matter, because our Outer God has descended.”
As Deadpool's voice fell,
Deadpool, Wolverine, and others in the alternate dimension all looked at Luo Fu.
Luo Fu said casually, “This Deadpool is talking nonsense; ignore him!”
“I think what he said should be true.” Deadpool raised a hand. Like an elementary school student asking a question in class, he said, “Although, I have to say that apart from me, other Deadpools are crazy people with mental problems, but a crazy person is not stupid. Since he has created such a large sacrificial ceremony, and can even summon you across the universe, maybe he can also sense your arrival.”
“No way!” Luo Fu said affirmatively, “I can't truly descend into reality!”
No one knew his current state better than Luo Fu.
Among the five great cosmic entities in the multiverse, besides Galactus, who was fortunate enough to survive the threat of the Big Bang of the previous universe and become the so-called fifth cosmic entity.
the others, such as Eternity, Infinity, Annihilation, including Death, whom Thanos was infatuated with, did not have the so-called true body in the eyes of ordinary people in the true sense.
Of course, this does not mean that the cosmic entities can only be concepts without flesh and blood. The real reason is that the power of the cosmic entities is not something that any universe can bear.
In the multiverse, the five great cosmic entities in any universe, except for Galactus, the other four are only conceptual existences, or simply exist in alternate dimensions, and it is almost impossible for beings in the real universe to observe their true bodies.
Previously, in order to leave the Infinity Stone cage, Luo Fu took on the position of the Outer God. His true body also no longer exists in the real universe. Even his body was specially refined into a Luo Fu crown and given to Skye in that parallel universe.
The reason why Luo Fu can be seen by Deadpool, Wolverine, Cassandra Nova Xavier, and others now is entirely because he directly condensed matter from the dimensions of the real universe to create his current body.
This body is just a carrier for Luo Fu's consciousness to descend, a concrete embodiment of the concept of Luo Fu in the eyes of Deadpool, Wolverine, and others.
It is not a human being in the sense of human cognition.
It's like Eternity, Infinity, Annihilation, and Death, their images are different in everyone's eyes.
Because the image of a human cannot depict the greatness of a god.
Anyone's understanding of God is only like looking at a leopard through a tube, or like blind men touching an elephant, only able to accept and recognize a very small part of the essence of God.
