American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

20. Trump Card



20. Trump Card

Alex ignored the ongoing battle and ran straight to Pietro's side.

"Are you okay? Can you move?" Seeing Pietro's deformed leg, Alex could imagine how terrifying the pain must be. He supported Pietro and asked with concern.

"Huff... huff... That guy is President X." Pietro didn't answer directly but immediately provided intelligence to Alex.

"I know, I know. Are you alright? Let me take you out of here." Alex spoke seriously.

Upon learning that President X was in this secret factory, Alex had been on edge. When he saw the Scarlet Witch, he was certain that she had been possessed by President X.

This incident was well known in Alex's memory. In the movie universe, Professor X when turned into fragments by the uncontrollable Phoenix, had transferred all his consciousness in advance and "resurrected" using the body of his vegetative brother.

This demonstrated the terrifying utility of Professor X's powerful telepathic abilities. Since he could resurrect using a vegetative body, he could also forcefully occupy others' bodies.

This time, President X likely targeted the Scarlet Witch, who possessed the legendary chaos magic.

Although in this universe, anything magical didn't exist, but the chaos power of the Scarlet Witch was still an immensely powerful energy, even if weakened. It could still reshape the universe and alter reality.

Now, with control over the Scarlet Witch's body, President X was theoretically unbeatable. Not even a nuclear bomb could harm him. So, Alex wanted to take Pietro and leave this chaotic place quickly while there was a distraction.

"No, it's no use. I can't move." Pietro spat blood, his face pale.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry and come with me!"

"It's really no use." Pietro's face contorted in pain as he took off his helmet, exerting all his strength to hold Alex's head and spoke.

"Thank you, Alex. Thank you for telling me those stories. I know my injuries are severe. You can't leave with me. Go quickly while they're distracted. The secret room is in the suburbs of New York, 1407 Greymalkin Lane. I believe in you."

"Don't tell me that. Get up!" Alex gritted his teeth.

"Let me stay here. You said it yourself, this world is a nightmare without superheroes. So, am I a hero now?"

Alex didn't speak, his clenched fist trembling slightly.

"It's just a nightmare, just a nightmare. I just need to wake up."

Pietro's voice grew weaker, then faded completely. Alex checked his breathing and found Pietro had fallen into a coma. This was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Blood from the helmet dripped onto Alex's fist. He stood up abruptly, as if making a firm decision. Turning away from the unconscious Pietro, he faced President X's direction.

"Sorry, Pietro. I never abandon my friends."

With that, Alex walked towards the battlefield.

The battle had escalated to a frenzy. Most soldiers were already dead, leaving only President X in possession of the Scarlet Witch, facing the escaped prisoners from the mutant secret prison.

Beast raised a massive pillar, attempting to strike the "Scarlet Witch" same as before, but she was now enraged and didn't give him the chance. She forcefully pulled the pillar to herself with crimson energy, then slammed it onto Beast. The impact turned the pillar to pieces and pinned Beast beneath, blood seeped through the cracks.

A woman with a light sword rushed to attack, but changed targets midway, impaling another prisoner instead before shielding the "Scarlet Witch" from Alex's energy beams.

"It seems you're the mastermind behind this operation, the true remnants of the Avengers." The "Scarlet Witch" withdrew her telepathy, calmly addressing Alex.

Alex didn't reply but fired several shots instantly, all blocked by chaotic power.

"Is this your plan?" The "Scarlet Witch" smirked. Sensing something, she suddenly turned, grabbing a blue smoke in the air. Nightcrawler emerged, struggling but unable to escape the chaotic power's grip.

The "Scarlet Witch" maintained her grip, her eyes turning bloodthirsty. With a swift tear, Nightcrawler's body was violently torn apart by intense energy, falling lifeless to the ground.

This gruesome scene terrified other mutants attempting to attack. They wanted to kill everyone here but weren't foolish enough to face such a terrifying being.

After this, the "Scarlet Witch" elegantly turned to Alex.

"Do you really think this trash can kill me? Do you Avengers think you can overthrow me? You're just a joke, your lives are meaningless, like that lunatic Strange."

"Lunatic?" Alex finally spoke. "Like you, the naked wheelchair man?"

These words stabbed at the "Scarlet Witch's" heart. She erupted in rage, her immense power sending everything flying. She then grabbed Alex with crimson energy, lifting him into the air.

"Do you think I won't kill you!"

The "Scarlet Witch's" eyes glowed red, overwhelming anyone who met her gaze, driving them mad.

Alex tried to activate his repulsor beams, but under chaotic power, the particles couldn't gather. Seeing Alex's futile attempt, the "Scarlet Witch" mocked him, then grabbed his body and dismantled his Iron Man armor piece by piece with her energy, turning it into scrap.

"Stark's technology. Is this your trump card? How laughable. Did you think this scrap could kill me?"

"Of course not." Alex stared coldly at the "Scarlet Witch," or rather, President X.

"Oh? Do you have any other tricks?" The "Scarlet Witch" sneered, reveling in the unmatched joy brought by taunting enemies. The power and authority intoxicated President X.

Watching Alex completely overwhelmed, the "Scarlet Witch" spread her arms, exposing all her vulnerabilities. She grinned, staring at Alex with widened eyes, inviting him to attack.

"Come on, use your tricks. Let me see. Kill me here, now!"

Alex, still calm, slowly placed his hands on his helmet and suddenly took it off.

"Then let me show you"
