The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 103 Sebastian, rest in peace, I will carry on your legacy!
In fact, Raven and the others misunderstood Du Mu.

His real reason for choosing to defect was mainly because he was worried that Sebastian would be enraged by the Air Force and randomly kill several Brotherhood members.

Although Sebastian claims he won't harm mutants, who can guarantee he won't suddenly turn on them?

To avoid casualties among the Brotherhood and disruption to the dungeon mission, Du Mu had no choice but to sacrifice himself and join the Hellfire Club, silently enduring all sorts of humiliation from the enemy.

At this moment, Du Mu's eyes were lifeless, and he uttered intermittent moans.

"No...stop...don't stop!"

Du Mu was seen lying on the large bed in the luxury guest room.

Several scantily clad young women were attending to him attentively, some massaging his shoulders, others rubbing his back, their techniques quite professional.

On a table not far away, exquisite food and fine wines were laid out, and a young lady was carefully feeding Du Mu a piece of lobster meat.

This life is so decadent!

Du Mu inwardly criticized the Hellfire Club's extravagant lifestyle, expressing his disdain for it.

An overly privileged environment will only erode one's will and lead one to depravity.

Unlike their fraternity, which is always frugal and hardworking, with each member working diligently and never engaging in such decadent practices.

In this respect, their brotherhood has once again won decisively!

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

Sebastian walked in slowly, saw the scene before him, and said speechlessly, "Looks like you've adapted pretty quickly."

He had initially worried that Du Mu might resist joining the Hellfire Club, or become depressed because of betraying his comrades.

In retrospect, that worry was completely unnecessary.

Du Mu barely managed to lift his head and said with a serious expression, "Don't be fooled by my feigned strength. Actually, I'm suffering more inside than you can imagine. It's exhilarating!"

Sebastian: "."

Although he lacked telepathic abilities, he could tell that Du Mu was not in any pain at all, but rather enjoying himself.

However, Du Mu's performance actually made Sebastian feel more at ease.

Those who know how to enjoy life are more easily driven by desires, and therefore more easily controlled.

If Du Mu were a moral exemplar unmoved by fame or fortune, he would have suspected that the other party might have infiltrated the Hellfire Club as an undercover agent.

Sebastian smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. Life will be like this from now on. Now come with me. One of our members has returned. Let me introduce you to the members of our Hellfire team."

Upon hearing this, Du Mu immediately perked up, got up, and followed Sebastian toward the hall.

Soon, he met several core members of the Hellfire Club. In addition to Red Devil and Torrent, whom he had met before, White Queen was also there.

The two men are just one man.

The White Queen, on the other hand, is a stunningly beautiful blonde woman with an exquisitely modeled outfit. She wears a tight white leather bodysuit that accentuates her curves. Perhaps due to the heat, the zipper is almost up to her navel, leaving a large area exposed.

White Queen: (V)
As expected of the White Queen, she is indeed very white.

Sebastian introduced, "You've already met these two. They are Azazel and Genos, whose abilities are teleportation and whirlwind creation, respectively. As for this beautiful lady, she is Emma Frost, the White Queen of Hellfire, whose abilities are diamondization and telepathy."

This information wasn't a secret to begin with, so Sebastian had nothing to hide.

The White Queen smiled slightly, her gaze fixed on Du Mu: "You must be Du Mu. I'm quite interested in you."

In fact, the moment she saw Du Mu, she secretly activated her telepathic abilities.

However, just like when they first met, once her mental energy penetrated Du Mu's brain, it slid away as smoothly as if it were gliding across a mirror, without producing any effect whatsoever.

The White Queen was somewhat surprised by this.

Apart from Du Mu, she had never encountered this situation with anyone else. Even Sebastian was not immune to her abilities, and only Charles, who was also a telepath, was able to resist them.

Du Mu chuckled and said, "I'm also very interested in you."

In his view, it was a waste for such a talent to stay in the Hellfire Clan; he should come to their Brotherhood and make a name for himself.

He was also very curious: after the White Queen turned into diamond, did her entire body really become diamond?
If that's the case, then if she goes to the toilet every day, wouldn't she become the world's largest diamond supplier?

Fortunately, the White Queen couldn't read Du Mu's thoughts, otherwise she might have been so angry that she developed breast nodules on the spot.

"My ability is to absorb and release all forms of energy, as you should know."

Sebastian finished by introducing his abilities, then asked Du Mu, "Your turn, Du Mu, what are your abilities?"

"I can use magic, but not the kind of magic that can be explained scientifically."

Du Mu continued to use the same rhetoric he had used with Charles and others.

But this explanation was too abstract for Sebastian to fully understand, so he said bluntly, "Show us."

"Sure, but I need an opponent."

Du Mu did not refuse; he knew this was a necessary procedure for new employees.

“Azazel, you will be his opponent,” Sebastian said to the Red Devil.

In fact, he was the most suitable opponent, but as the Black King of the Hellfire Club, he had to maintain a certain level of prestige and could not just casually participate. So he sent out the one with the best melee skills among them.

Of course, the main reason is that Sebastian didn't have many other options.

The ability of the Torrent is only suitable for clearing large areas of the map. The White Queen lacks offensive means. Apart from him, only the Red Devil is suitable to be Du Mu's opponent.

Unfortunately, he simply doesn't have enough manpower right now.

It's not that Sebastian doesn't want to recruit more mutants, but mutants are as rare as the Heart of Africa; they are something you can only come across by chance.

Sebastian may have some African ancestry, and over the years he has only encountered a few mutants. Unless he uses a map-wide cheat like Charles to search for them, it is generally difficult for him to encounter other mutants.

Otherwise, Sebastian wouldn't have gone to raid the Brotherhood's base and personally undermine them.

Upon hearing Sebastian's name, the Red Devil readily agreed.

Ever since Du Mu ambushed him, he had wanted to get revenge, and now he finally had the chance.

But this place was clearly unsuitable for fighting, so the Red Devil used his power to transfer everyone to a deserted wasteland.

Red Devil sneered at Du Mu, "Boy, let me see what you're capable of."

Du Mu nodded and said, "No problem!"

As he spoke, he pulled out two golden Desert Eagles and pointed them at the Red Devil.

Red Devil: "???"

The other members of Hellfire: "???"

This magic is not quite what they imagined.

But Red Devil quickly realized what was happening and sneered, "This kind of weapon has no effect on me." As soon as he finished speaking, Red Devil turned into dark red smoke and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Almost at the same time, he appeared behind Du Mu, pulled out a short sword and slashed at Du Mu!
Du Mu reacted extremely quickly, turning around abruptly to locate the source of the sound, avoiding the sharp blade. He then fired several bullets in quick succession, but Red Devil instantly teleported away to dodge them.

Opponents like Red Devil, who can teleport without cooldown, are indeed difficult to deal with. In addition, Red Devil has rich combat experience, making it difficult to predict his landing point and attack rhythm.

Moreover, Red Devil is a very cautious old man. He never gets greedy with his attacks. After each strike, regardless of whether it hits or not, he immediately teleports away from the spot, giving Du Mu no chance to retaliate.

Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to open it.

Without hesitation, Du Mu put away his twin pistols and immediately took out a magic mask and put it on his face.

In an instant, he felt a surge of power coursing through his body, every cell filled with the beauty of numbers.

Red Devil noticed Du Mu's movements, but didn't think much of it. He teleported to Du Mu's side again and slashed down with his sword!
Before the sword could fall, Du Mu suddenly turned around with a speed far exceeding his previous movements, his right hand shooting out like lightning and grabbing the swaying tail.

"Got you!"

"!!!"

Red Devil froze, instinctively activating his teleportation ability in an attempt to escape.

However, his ability does not allow him to select a specific target for teleportation.

The next second, dark red smoke enveloped the two of them and they disappeared from the spot, only to suddenly reappear on the wasteland dozens of meters away. Du Mu's hand was still tightly gripping his tail, without letting go for a moment.

Red Devil teleported several times, but still couldn't break free from Du Mu's control.

Du Mu chuckled: "Keep running."

The Red Devil was immediately enraged: "You think you can defeat me like this?"

Knowing he couldn't dodge, he gritted his teeth and immediately raised his sword to attack.

Then he fell into a baby-like sleep.

Having lost his teleportation ability, Red Devil is at most a super soldier in front of Du Mu, and can be dealt with in no time than with a single punch.

"Excellent, truly excellent."

Sebastian clapped as he stepped forward, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration: "Your magical abilities are indeed powerful; you were able to defeat Azazel so easily."

Du Mu waved his hand: "You flatter me!"

Sebastian smiled and said, "No need to be modest, you certainly have the ability. From now on, you are an official member of Hellfire, and you will enjoy all the privileges of the club."

"Thank you, Mr. Black Emperor, but I have a question, and I'm not sure if I should ask it."

"We're all on the same side, so feel free to speak your mind."

"My question is, Red Devil is unconscious now, how are we supposed to get back?"

"."

Sebastian's expression froze.

He turned to look at the unconscious Red Devil, then glanced at the surrounding wasteland, and fell silent.

After that, Du Mu stayed at the Hellfire Club, just loafing around.

It has to be said, Hellfire Club is really rich.

Although there are only five official members including Du Mu, its overall strength even surpasses that of most conglomerates.

Leaving aside Sebastian's own immense wealth, the White Queen herself was a heiress from a wealthy family, whose fortune far surpassed that of Charles.

Moreover, Sebastian is quite generous as a boss, providing maximum employee benefits. He even gave Du Mu the million dollars he had casually mentioned without hesitation.

For him, problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all.

It's fortunate that Sebastian didn't have the same level of power as Charles, and it's also fortunate that he enjoys public speaking. Otherwise, with his wealth, he wouldn't need to waste words; he could simply throw money around and get a large group of mutants and even humans to do anything for him.

Unfortunately, Sebastian's ambitions were too great.

He intended to push the United States and the Soviet Union to deploy missiles, thereby escalating the two superpowers to launch a nuclear war and trigger World War III.

Sebastian's real purpose in doing this was because he firmly believed that mutants were a mutated race created by the effects of nuclear radiation.

Therefore, he plans to use nuclear weapons to eliminate the existing human forces and create more mutants through the radiation generated by the nuclear explosion. Ultimately, he will establish a new world order completely ruled by mutants, and he himself will become the king who rules over all mutants!
Du Mu had no optimism about Sebastian's plan.

Regardless of whether this plan can be successfully implemented, even if it is successful, mutants may not be able to withstand the harm of nuclear radiation.

It's important to understand that not all mutants are like Sebastian, able to absorb nuclear radiation unaffected. If a mutant were to absorb nuclear radiation and undergo a secondary mutation, becoming a super mutant, the server would probably need to be updated to a radiation version, ushering in an era where everyone has to scavenge for scraps.

Most importantly, how can Sebastian guarantee that there won't be mutants more powerful than him in the future? In Du Mu's view, having only the ability to absorb energy is not enough to dominate the entire world. At least Sebastian still has quite a few weaknesses.

For example, they lack ranged attacks, lack mobility, and are unable to resist mental attacks.

Do these weaknesses seem familiar? That's right, these weaknesses correspond exactly to the abilities of each member of the Hellfire Club, perfectly filling Sebastian's void. It's unclear whether this was intentional or accidental.

Thinking about it this way, Du Mu felt that he might also be able to fill some of Sebastian's gaps, such as good looks and wisdom, or his many advantages, which would take at least several thousand words to list, so I won't go into details.

As for how Du Mu realized that Sebastian was unable to resist skill attacks.

He's not blind. Sebastian neither fishes nor pilots mechs, yet he wanders around all day wearing a helmet. It's obvious there's something wrong with him.

Sure enough, he secretly glanced at the information on the helmet.

[Mental Breakdown Helmet]

[Description: Mysterious black technology from the Soviet Union; can completely block mental energy when worn]

This helmet works almost the same way as the Silly Ring.

Sebastian was clearly aware of Charles's telepathic abilities, which is why he always wore the helmet to prevent his brain from being invaded by the other's mental power.

It is said to be able to absorb all forms of energy, but it cannot absorb spiritual energy.

Du Mu didn't understand, but this was actually a good thing for him.

The more weaknesses Sebastian has, the greater the Brotherhood's advantage becomes.

Yes, Du Mu has already set his sights on Sebastian as a target for the Brotherhood. An ambitious man like Sebastian is almost certainly not willing to join the Brotherhood and be subordinate to others.

Moreover, he wasn't as unscrupulous as Du Mu. As the founder of the Hellfire Club, how could he possibly join the enemy camp?

Therefore, Du Mu simply used Sebastian as a stepping stone for the Brotherhood.

If we can take him down, we can not only enhance the Brotherhood's influence, but also recruit several core members of the Hellfire Clan, completing the dungeon mission in one go—it's perfect!
Thinking of this, Du Mu immediately perked up.

"Sebastian, I will carry on your legacy and lead mutants to a brighter future!"

"Go in peace!"
