Chapter 290: Official Break-up With Professor X

Seeing  Bruce hold the Soul Stone, Mephisto recognized it. After all, it was something outside the body and couldn’t represent Bruce’s true power. So, he took it as Bruce’s luck.

But after noticing Bruce’s power of  Law, Mephisto wasn’t calm.

Power of rules wasn’t the power of  Law. Seeing a human want to control it was just a joke to Mephisto. An ancient demon like him knew that controlling the power of  Law was too difficult. It would be impossible for a mortal to control these powers. More so, it would take a long time just to comprehend the law.

Even a true god who wanted to comprehend a cosmic law wouldn’t be able to succeed without tens of thousands of years comprehending it.

On the other hand, most of the laws  were often in the hands of multiverse beings like him. Mortals who dared challenge such beings were obliterated as soon as they met.

Even if Bruce could survive meeting them, how long would he need to cultivate to comprehend the law?

For Mephisto, Bruce didn’t even seem fifty. He traveled back and forth between various multiverses for tens of thousands of years, and he had never seen a freak like Bruce.

At their level, they wouldn’t even hesitate to trade their own planes to acquire a power of law. The power of laws could fascinate every ancient being.

Mephisto could feel that what Bruce showed was the Law of Death, one of the most supreme divine powers.

How could such a power be wielded by a human? Could he be a servant of the goddess of death? Taking advantage of the last moments the Law of Fear was fighting with the Law of Death, Mephisto was pondering about it.

But as soon as his projection was shot by the orange beam and dragged into the soul plane, the connection between the original and the projection was severed.

The Soul Stone was originally an underestimated gem. People would only often remember how difficult it was to obtain the Soul Stone. They knew that in order to acquire it, they must first kill their most beloved.

It was precisely because of this that Thanos had to kill his daughter, Gamora.

Inside the Soul Stone, there was also a parallel plane that was equivalent to a small universe.

When Thanos snapped his fingers, those who disappeared were sent into that plane. They existed in the form of souls.

In other words, everyone that was killed by Infinity Gauntlet was sent to this plane.

Although their bodies turned into ashes, their souls did not vanish. They were just trapped in the soul plane.

As long as the owner of Soul stone was willing, he could resurrect these souls at any time.

According to the system’s power rating, Bruce must be at least Universe Level in order to exert the true power of the Soul Stone.

With Bruce’s current strength, he could open the soul plane, but he could not save the imprisoned souls. Otherwise, he could enter the plane in the Soul Stone and resurrect Gamora.

Pulling Mephisto’s projection into the plane of soul, Bruce saw the huge body resist it, but no matter how he struggled, only the will of the Soul Stone was invincible on that plane.

In that case, it was just like in the dark plane. It was impossible to kill Dormammu without destroying the dark dimension.

All of the aura of the ancient demon’s projection was sucked into the small univered.

In the plane of hell…

Mephisto was sitting on his throne.

The throne’s handle was crushed by his grip. He had always believed that his projection, which possessed one-tenth of his divine power, was already quite worthy of the earth plane.

The result was still messed up. It was foreseeable that unless Bruce released this projection from the soul plane, Mephisto would lose that part of his power.

If it weren’t for plane masters like him, they would all manage the existence of one realm and could not do everything by themselves.

He really wanted to kill Bruce. He had not only failed to acquire Apocalypse’s soul, but he also lost to Bruce.

It could be said that go for wool and come home shor.

“After I resolve those bird-men in heaven plane, I will seek justice through death god.” Mephisto still attributed everything to the death god. He still didn’t want to believe that Bruce could control the law of death by himself.

Boom!

Mephisto’s huge demon body slowly stood up. It looked like a giant who holds the sky and the earth.

In the end, he got up and left hell.

After preparing to settle the immediate crisis, he would save his face from his projection being defeated by a mere mortal.

Inside Xavier School…

Professor X called Magneto to the academy, and the two decided to work together to resist the coming natural disaster.

At this stage, the United States government had initiated a series of measures.

Most human beings were protected by the government. Only the mutants were still exposed on the streets. They had lost their human rights. They were like discarded children, staying on the streets waiting for the end of the world.

Professor X used Cerebro and tried his best to summon all the mutants outside.

Magneto was suspended in the air, his hands facing the ground. He switched on the Earth’s magnetic field and protected the surrounding area of Xavier School with a magnetic shield.

This allowed Xavier School to survive.

“Charles, this is not the way to go. Don’t call on the mutants,” Magneto saw the crowd still trying to squeeze in and helplessly told this to Professor X.

This shield was the limit that he could bear.

However, Charles still summoned the mutants.

“If it wasn’t for Bruce, how could the world end like this?” Charles shouted in anger, then floated towards Magneto. “He has been staying in the academy to hide his strength. In fact, his ability far exceeds mine.”

By connecting to X-Men’s brain near the battlefield, Charles saw everything.

Bruce’s true strength had already reached the legendary sixth level mutant, and only then can he compete with Apocalypse.

“The world became like this because of Bruce and Apocalypse, but these two culprits were gone.” Charles continued to complain in dissatisfaction. His ability enabled him to hear the voices of dead humans and mutants.

All these deeply stimulated him. “I want to expel Bruce from Xavier School.”
