American Comics: Starting from the Invincible Young Hero

Chapter 80: Whoever it is, they'll all die here.
"Quickly... take me to the brainwave enhancement device."

Professor X gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly, his face pale, struggling against the Shadow King, squeezing out words through clenched teeth.

"Only I can stop him now..."

The beasts and their companions were in a flurry of activity, about to set off.

Charles Xavier didn't even have time to finish his last sentence before his vision suddenly blurred—

When his consciousness refocused, the cold brainwave enhancer was already attached to his temple.

Russell grabbed Professor X's wheelchair and, in the blink of an eye, brought him inside X University.

“Because I wasn’t familiar with the layout of your school, it took me a little while to find this room, but it shouldn’t be too late.” He stood to the side, scanning the entire brainwave enhancement room.

"Thank you, child."

Professor X didn't have time to say more; he hurriedly activated the enhancement device and closed his eyes.

In an instant, his consciousness spread like an explosion, traversing mountains and rivers, reaching every nuclear missile base in the world.

In his mental vision, hundreds of military facilities were being entangled by the Shadow King's purplish-black mental tentacles, like insects caught in a spider web.

"Retreat!"

Charles's mental power dispelled the shadows that lingered in the soldiers' minds.

Furthermore, the spiritual power transformed into an invisible barrier, like a dam blocking the entire military base.

The Shadow King's mental tentacles struck the barrier, emitting a silent shriek. The pure, malevolent mental power, even a trace of it, was enough to instantly shatter the brain of any normal person.

Professor X's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

On a spiritual level, he is wrestling with the Shadow King all by himself—hundreds of nuclear missile bases, each a battlefield.

The Shadow King's tentacles were temporarily blocked, and the soldiers hurriedly withdrew their fingers from the launch button.
Bang!
Inside the Hellfire Club, Shadow King suddenly opened his eyes, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water, his heart filled with boundless resentment.

"It's you again, Charles Xavier. How long do you think you can hold out against me? You overestimate yourself!"

The purplish-black mental tentacles receded like a tide, only to split into billions of fine threads in an instant, burrowing into the minds of ordinary people in Manhattan.

Anger, fear, hatred, and desire—all the dark thoughts were drawn upon him like nourishment, providing him with a constant source of strength.

Charles felt the pressure increase dramatically, and the Shadow King's mental strength launched a fierce counterattack.

The brainwave enhancement room was quickly filled with Scarlet Witch, Wolverine, and others.

"Infinite Man, Scarlet Witch, Scott Logan"

Professor X began with difficulty, "He's in Manhattan... Hellfire Club, underground... I must maintain the barrier. You must go quickly."

"I can't hold him off for long; his mental strength seems inexhaustible..."

"Professor, I can stay and help you."

Qin hurriedly said that she would join Professor X in fighting the Shadow King in the battle of minds, giving Professor X a chance to catch his breath.

"Manhattan? Hellfire Club?"

Russell and Wanda exchanged a glance.

"No matter what, we can't let this Shadow King destroy the world," Wanda said softly, frowning.

Although her father's Brotherhood of Mutants has always had conflicts with the X-Men, they are united on this issue.

"Professor, Qin, hang in there."

Laser Eyes and the others rushed toward the Blackbird supersonic fighter jet.

"Let's take the first step."

Russell stepped back, put his arm around Wanda's waist, and grabbed the red tank with one hand.

The world is on the brink of destruction; there's no time for idle chatter.

Swish!
In the blink of an eye, Russell led the two men to the skies above the Hellfire Club in Manhattan, where he dropped the Juggernaut.

The massive Red Tank landed in front of the building like a cannonball.

"We have guests."

The black bishop sat by the window, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking down.

"Let me meet them."

Jiliu looked at the tall figure below the window and the two figures in the sky, a smirk playing on his lips. He waved his hand and unleashed a giant tornado that shattered the window and struck the Red Tank that was hurtling towards the building.

"Destroy the world?"
Have you asked about Red Tank?
Are you trying to provoke Juggernaut on a day without pizza and parties?!

Although Juggernaut wasn't the brightest, he knew that someone in this building was plotting to destroy the world, and he absolutely wouldn't allow it.

Whoosh!

A massive tornado, rising rapidly into the air, swept up cars on the street and suddenly struck.

Red Tank didn't care about charging headlong; it ran with unstoppable force, like a nuclear submarine moving at full speed. Even the gale that could uproot trees along the street couldn't lift it off the ground.

He walked straight through the tornado.

“Found her…” Russell released Scarlet Witch, activating his X-ray vision to scan the entire building, completely ignoring everyone else. If the Shadow King wanted to possess someone, he certainly wouldn't take over the body of a minor character.

In a room on the third basement level, Russell found a man's figure. He was middle-aged, tall and imposing, with a beard, exuding the aura of a superior. His eyes were closed, as if he were fighting against some invisible force.

Compared to Professor X in New York.

This guy looks completely relaxed.

Zizi!

Two beams of heat pierced through the reinforced concrete, shooting directly into the third underground level and striking the man's body.

"Infinite Man, Scarlet Witch... the powerful mutants of this world?"
"Heh, another mutant."

The laser beam that struck him flashed red and was absorbed in an instant. Shadow King opened his eyes, his eyes seemingly piercing through buildings and the earth, and saw Russell in mid-air.

The countless brains that his mental tentacles probed into were information databases he could freely browse.

He gave a cold laugh and raised his palm.

hum!
A thick, deep red laser beam pierced the ground and shot towards Russell.

“The Black King, Sebastian Shaw…”

Russell tilted his head to avoid the laser; the scorching laser burned the air, leaving a trail in the sky.

He recognized the other person by their distinctive physical features and abilities.

Black King is a powerful mutant on par with Professor X and Magneto. He has the ability to absorb all forms of energy and convert them into his own, and he can release that energy at will.

Its own capabilities are already powerful enough.

Now that the Shadow King has taken over his body, he has no weaknesses in either the physical or mental aspects.

"Torrent, your tricks don't seem to be working." Seeing the red tank charging through the tornado, Black Bishop Harland Leland downed his drink.

He pointed at the red tank that was rushing towards the building like an unstoppable force.

boom!
"No one can stop the Red Tank!"

The red tank suddenly sank, as if an invisible mountain had pressed down on its body, and its feet sank into the mud.

He roared and tried to break free, but the immense weight pressing down on him was increasing almost exponentially.

The red tank's body was as if it were being pressed into the ground by an invisible giant finger, and it was rapidly sinking towards the earth's core, disappearing into the darkness.

Black Bishop Harland Leland's ability is to apply gravity to others.

His strength was actually no match for the Red Tank, but the Red Tank couldn't fly, and its immense gravity made the soil beneath its feet as soft as water, providing insufficient support and making it impossible for him to exert any force.

"Someone is attacking Black King."

Jiliu noticed that the two in the sky seemed to have launched an attack. In an attempt to save face, he waved his hand to create an even larger tornado, connecting the sky and the earth like a hurricane, which struck Russell and his companion.

But this time he chose the wrong opponent.

"Hmm? The Shadow King has already gathered allies so quickly?"

As the hurricane roared in, Wanda waved her hand and made it disappear without a trace.

"Torrent, Black Bishop...the White Queen is not here?"

With her telepathic abilities, she should have immediately sensed something was wrong with the Black King—had he been killed or escaped?

Russell turned his gaze to a few minor figures he had previously overlooked, recognizing them as members of the Hellfire Club based on their characteristics and abilities.

Noisy!
His casual, intense gaze swept across the building, cutting through it.

Like a hot knife cutting through butter, the entire building was sliced ​​open. A sharp pain shot through his waist, and Jiliu looked down, his body stiff.

"You...who are you?"

And then there's the Black Bishop Harland Leland, who just shoved the Red Tank into the ground with a single finger; he now has a bloody line with burn marks on his waist.

His eyes widened like a frog's as he looked at the figure in the sky in disbelief.

As a high-ranking member of the Hellfire Club, the powerful Black Bishop never imagined that one day he would be killed in a single encounter, without even knowing the name of the person he was killing.

【…】

Ignoring the Black Bishop and the others' dying struggles, Russell withdrew his gaze and looked down into the ground. The Shadow King, who had taken over the 'Black King's' body, was the problem that needed to be dealt with quickly.

"Whoever dares to stop me, they'll all die here!"
I will sit on a throne made of your bones and quietly watch this world crumble.

With a stomp of his foot, Shadow King unleashed a terrifying force that tore the earth apart. The entire building was ripped apart like a soft loaf of bread by an invisible giant hand. He stepped down from the ground, his undisguised malice scrutinizing the two of them.

"You've got quite the big mouth!"

Russell's eyes were cold.
