Shadow of the Beautiful World

Mister Sinister, a villain, a jerk, a schemer, and a visionary who calls himself the savior.

No one knows about this guy's past.

But for sure, he's somewhat contradictory with the oldest mutant, Apocalypse.

Therefore, since his appearance in the New York War, all his actions and plans have been carried out around the sole purpose of defeating the apocalypse.

Apocalypse will wake up.

In his secret base, Mister Omen stands in front of the cage where Madeleine is imprisoned.

The plan he had prepared had come to an end, and the process went very smoothly, which put Mister Ominous in a good mood, so he was willing to take some time to have a good chat with Miss Madeleine.

This is presumably a behavioral pattern common to all keepers of secrets.

If the secret is hidden in the heart for too long, it will cause a lot of pressure and troubles, and talking to others is the best way to relieve the troubles.

He looked at Miss Madeleine, whose eyes were full of hatred, and that face that was exactly the same as Jean Grey's, and he chuckled lightly.

With a kind of prophet pride, he said:

In human mythology, all kinds of emotional words are always used to describe the doomsday. You know that the doomsday will come. But I know what form your doomsday will take.

Apocalypse! The multiple awakenings of that ancient mutant tyrant in history have brought doom.

The Great Flood, the fire that fell from the sky, the whole world was barren and abandoned, and civilization suffered serious setbacks. It always tried to rebuild its dynasty in different eras, and it failed many times.

Mr. Omen, with his hands behind his back, said to Madeleine:

I have saved the world. In the era I lived in, in the 19th century, when the apocalypse last woke up, it used its power to shape me into a mutant.

It's hard to imagine, right? An ordinary person, after being exposed to Apocalypse, will be turned into a mutant. Apocalypse tried to start a war in my time, but was stopped by the X-Men who traveled from the future to the 19th century .”

I've seen it all. The purpose of the X-Men is to prevent the world from being destroyed by the tyrant of the apocalypse, but they won it very hard, and there is a lot of luck.

Since then, I have known that they are not worth relying on, and their strength is not enough to resist the repeated attacks of Apocalypse, because that tyrant is immortal!

It wakes up, time and time again, and if the X-Men lose just one time, the world is over.

Mister Sinister let out a deep laugh. He spread his hands and said to Miss Madeleine:

Look, I'm not a bad person, am I? I'm just helping you out in my own way.

The only way to stop Apocalypse forever is to kill it, kill it completely, but the existing power can't do this, that guy has been stripped of the concept of death.

How do we kill an immortal god?

Mister Omen's voice grew low, and he said:

There is only one way, my dear Madeleine, we must create a new god, a more powerful god...During the past 200 years, I have been studying the composition and inheritance of the x gene.

With the help of modern technology calculations, I finally found him!

In my calculations, after the fusion of the x-genes of Jean Gray and Scott Summers, an ultimate mutant with an energy intensity that surpasses Apocalypse will be born!

Miss Madeleine's expression became stunned.

She seemed to have guessed the truth of everything, she staggered back a step full of fear, and fell to the floor of the cage.

She lowered her head, not daring to look into Mr. Sinister's eyes again, she was afraid of knowing the answer.

Ha, you guessed it, right?

Mr. Omen let out a long breath. He looked at Miss Madeleine who was curled up in the cage, and said:

Yes, it is the son of you and Summers, Nathan Christopher Charles Summers. He has a nickname called 'Cable', which is the name given to him by his father.

Nathan will be the savior of this world, Madeleine, you are the mother of the savior, this is a kind of supreme pride, believe me.

No!

Miss Madeleine held her head, and she screamed in a high-pitched voice:

I'm Madeleine, I'm not Jean Gray...I'm not...

Who are you!

Mister Sinister sneered, and he interrupted Madeleine's screaming, saying:

The genes that make up your body come from Jean Gray. Your genetic arrangement is no different from that of Phoenix Girl. If it wasn't for making Summers accept you more easily, I would even set the color of your long hair to be the same as Qin's. Fiery red.

Every part of your body is exactly the same as Qin. You are a clone made by me. The only reason for your birth is to replace Jean Gray who has been polluted by the Phoenix Force, and to interbreed with Summers to promote electric power. The birth of Suo.

My poor Madeleine...

Mr. Ominous stretched out his hand, crossed the railing, and stroked the hair of the collapsed Miss Madeleine. He felt the trembling and fear of this woman, and he said softly:

Don't be afraid, son, you should call me father.

Your mission has been completed, I will not hurt you anymore, I will keep you here, maybe in a few days, your boyfriend will come to rescue you with the powerful X-Men... .”

But they, who claim to be righteous, can't understand what I have done for this world. I hope you can understand this necessary sacrifice, child, and you are free.

Snapped

Madeleine grabbed Mr. Sinister's cold hand, and like an angry she-beast, she bit fiercely on the finger of the monster playing with her life.

He calmly looked at Miss Madeleine who roared like a beast and desperately bit his finger.

Blood dripped from Mister Sinister's fingers, but the lunatic didn't respond, seemingly feeling no pain.

It's not his blood...

Although Madeleine has the complete gene of Qin, her x gene has not been activated,

She is just an ordinary person, her teeth can't bite through the hardened skin of Mr. Omen's ** gene, and the blood flows from her broken teeth.

It was a poor woman who was born from a lie and had her child robbed, her last resistance to fate.

boom

The villain lightly waved his finger, and Miss Madeleine was smashed against the railing behind the cage. There was a sound of broken bones in her body, and the pain swept through the poor lady's body, causing her to cry out in despair. .

She curled up on the ground, blood flowed from her mouth, and that beautiful face was also stained with blood.

Have a good rest.

Mr. Sinister took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood on his fingers, and said to Madeleine who was staring at him viciously:

I will soon send little Nathan to the future, where he will grow up healthily, gain knowledge there, become a powerful fighter, and then return to this era to save everyone.

You'll be proud of him, go to sleep and stop struggling.

The blood-stained handkerchief was thrown on the ground, just like when he came, the villain turned around and quickly walked out of the dark cell. With the door closed, darkness enveloped the place again.

In the cage, Miss Madeleine struggled, enduring the pain from her body, and got up from the ground bit by bit.

The white dress on her body was already soaked in blood, she was breathing in pain, leaning against the edge of the cage, her bloodstained hands hugged her curled up legs, and she buried her head in her arms.

The body was shaking, and tears flowed from the eyes.

Her birth was just a lie. As a clone, all her background and origins were forged by Mister Omen. She has no relatives, and she is just a substitute.

But at least that relationship is real.

The time she spent with Somers, the love that exploded, the love that burned like fire, that was real, the only real thing that existed in her life.

And her kids.

Little Nathan, that was one of the few treasures she really had in this world.

But was taken away.

Poor little Nathan was taken away by Mister Omen after he was born, and Madeleine couldn't even hug him properly, didn't get to see her baby with her own eyes, and didn't get to kiss him.

Both physical and psychological pain and torture made Miss Madeleine exhausted.

Desperate emotions and pain in her body made her drowsy, as if a voice called her, and in the cold darkness, the poor lady sniffled, and with a final whimper, she closed her eyes.

Sleep strikes.

It was so fast that people couldn't tell, it seemed that the dream came with just a flash of light.

A gentle touch came from the crown of Madeleine Madeleine's head, and a warm hand brushed her long hair.

Wherever that warm temperature went, the pain was dispelled, and it seemed that even the despair in his heart was gently wiped away.

Madeleine felt the long-lost sunlight shining on her body. She maintained her curled up posture and raised her head blankly.

There is no darkness anymore.

It was no longer the narrow and cold cell, she saw the light of the setting sun shining on a meadow, at the end of her sight was a golden quaint and magnificent castle, above her head was a strange black tree.

The branches were bare, without any leaves, and on the scorched trunk, there were still dark red runes shining.

The intertwined branches formed a canopy, covering the small garden, allowing the warm sunlight to shine on the ground in a dappled manner. In the gentle wind of the dream world, Miss Madeleine turned her head to look.

Not far away, on a rickety recliner, a beautiful girl in a medieval lady's attire and gold-rimmed glasses is taking a nap in the sun.

She slept soundly, and butterflies were flying around her.

The scene looked magical.

Is this... is this heaven?

Miss Madeleine asked softly.

She thought she died in pain, and her soul had come to heaven.

If Gabriel were here, she would tell you that you are not a sincere believer and that you are not eligible to enter heaven after death.

A gentle voice came from behind Miss Madeleine, answering her question.

She turned her head and saw the man standing behind her.

A thin-cheeked man with long black hair hanging over his shoulders. He was wearing a black robe full of mystery, with trailing tails that were divided into four sides below.

The wide sleeves swayed in the wind as he stroked Madeleine's hair, and there was a gentle light in those blue eyes.

That light made Miss Madeleine, who had just experienced a tragedy in the world, feel at ease.

My name is Merlin, you can call me Raven.

In his own dream world, Merlin said to Miss Madeleine who was summoned here:

I'm a friend of Jean Gray, and I've also had contact with Summers. Of course, the most important thing for you is that, like you, I'm a little bit younger than Mr. Nathaniel Essex. Small... grievances.

Nathaniel Essex, who is that?

Madeleine asked blankly.

Merlin took the Book of Raven from his waist and placed it on the table in front of Miss Madeleine.

He put his hand on Madeleine's shoulder from behind, and whispered in Miss Madeleine's ear in a very intimate way:

His nickname is Mr. Ominous Omen, that is, your 'father'. I entrusted a friend to find out his identity from the past time, and I have been paying attention to him.

I know that you are at a loss for everything in front of you, but you don't need to care about these. Miss Madeleine, I should have gone to solve Essex myself, but I have some urgent matters at hand that I can't spare.

For a conspirator planning a huge conspiracy, the best revenge is not to kill him. Death will only make him crazier.

For a person like him, the best revenge is to let all his plans go bankrupt, and let him see with his own eyes that everything he planned fails!

Raven's voice became softer, he was like a poisonous snake wrapped around Madeleine's body, and he said to Miss Madeleine in a cold voice:

I will let him taste despair, I will let him live, let him fall into madness, and finally, I will take his insignificant life.

You want to do the same, and you have enough reasons to do it. You want to save your son from that madman. This desire is so strong.

I hear your desperate prayer, Madeleine, but don't ask God or others to help you. You should save your son by yourself.

Raven held Miss Madeleine's trembling hand, and put the slender fingers on the open Raven Book. While the spells and magic lines were dancing, he said in Miss Madeleine's ear:

I'll ask you, are you willing to give everything to save your son, and to vent your anger for yourself?

I do!

Madeleine answered almost without hesitation.

The next moment, the Balrog spell on the Book of Ravens infected Madeleine's fingers in a burning manner. The burning feeling of the flames caused Miss Madeleine's dreams to begin to be destroyed.

At the moment when the dream was completely dissipated, at the moment when she was covered by tumbling flames, she heard the voice of the raven.

very good.

Execute the revenge you and I share with you, Madeleine...Of course, I will give you a new name.

Go, Red Queen.

Smash all the fantasies of Nathaniel Essex! In the name of the raven...
