American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 629 I could have become a mercenary, but now you have to pay me more.

Emma's words silenced Rune for a moment.

"If I remember correctly—you should have a rebirth agreement, right? You shouldn't be afraid of death, so why did you hire me?"

The Rebirth Protocol that Rune mentioned is the core institution of Krakor, which was developed under the leadership of Professor X and Mora Marktagt.

Professor X is responsible for regularly backing up the consciousness and memories of mutants worldwide using a brainwave device to ensure that their personalities and memories remain intact after resurrection, while the Five are responsible for resurrecting their physical bodies.

The Golden Sphere is responsible for creating the biomass-based golden eggs that carry the genes, while Proteus uses his power to warp reality, transforming these golden eggs to make them come alive, and then injecting mutant genes into them.

The elixir will promote the fusion of biomass and DNA inside the golden egg to form an embryo, and then the time vortex will accelerate the growth of the embryo to its peak state.

Hope plays the final decisive role in this process. She will guide and stabilize the abilities of the other four to ensure the success of the procedure. Finally, Professor X will transfer the backup consciousness into the new body to complete the resurrection.

Because this technology is so powerful, all mutants are forbidden from spreading it outside the universe. After all, while mutants are strong, the Marvel Universe is not lacking in powerful races.

For example, the Eternal Gods and the Inhumans.

The latter, in particular, possesses Terrigen crystals that, when placed in water at the appropriate temperature, will produce Terrigen Mist. This mist can activate the Inhumans' superpowers, but it is highly poisonous to mutants.

In other words, if the Inhumans found out about this, some of them would definitely use it to threaten the mutants, forcing them to open this system to the Inhumans as well.

After all, the abilities of the Inhumans are also inherited through genes.

Emma's face immediately contorted when she heard Rune reveal this secret. "How did you know?"

Rune smiled without saying a word, while Emma stopped talking nonsense. She immediately closed her eyes, and countless tiny spiritual threads spread out like a spider web, instantly wrapping around the mage's core consciousness.

Rune froze, but he wasn't surprised—the secret of the Rebirth Protocol was far too heavy, and no mutant who possessed this ability could protect it completely. Someone like Emma would naturally choose to erase her memories.

And the White Queen does indeed possess such abilities.

Her psychic abilities are on par with those of Professor X and Jean Grey; her full-force attack can easily shatter the mental defenses of most people, including Rune in his current state.

Logically speaking, Rune, who possesses a weakened version of Professor X's abilities and hasn't fully developed them, shouldn't be a match for Emma, ​​but the Doomsday bloodline doesn't listen to him.

Emma's mental power swept out like a cold wave, forcefully suppressing Rune's consciousness and attempting to break through Rune's defenses and tamper with the secrets in his mind about the rebirth agreement.

"Give up the resistance. Your mental defenses are no match for me." Emma's voice resounded directly in Rune's mental world, her mental power gradually squeezing the mage's mental defenses. "You just need to forget the Rebirth Agreement, and we'll become true friends. Don't you want me?"

Her mental image appeared before Rune's eyes, Emma's perfect face displayed before him, but the mage knew that this was not because Emma had used any strange ability, but because her mental power was about to break through his mental defenses.

As for Emma's seduction—

Rune couldn't believe it either—this guy was very good at using psychic abilities to create illusions for his opponents, and she was just saying all this to demoralize Rune so that Emma could easily erase the memories related to the Rebirth Protocol.

Just when victory seemed within reach, the White Queen suddenly sensed a completely different power awakening from the depths of the mage's consciousness. That terrifying, ferocious, and violent aura was as unstoppable as a dormant volcano suddenly erupting.

Emma didn't know that it was the will of Doomsday.

Her spiritual threads were instantly disintegrated upon contact with this power, and the White Queen herself, thousands of miles away, turned deathly pale.

"I could have been a mercenary, Emma," Rune's voice was soft, but it exploded like thunder in Emma's mind, "but now, you'll have to pay more."

Emma's mental image swayed violently in the shockwave, like a television screen with a poor signal.

She tried to increase her mental energy output to suppress the opponent again, but the unknown force resisted more and more fiercely. That primal ferocity was like a leech, clinging tightly to her mental energy.

It seemed to be consuming its own power, but—but its growth was far greater than the energy it was consuming, and soon Emma couldn't hold on any longer.

"puff-

—

After a brief stalemate, a thousand miles away, the noble woman's true form finally gave way. She spat out a mouthful of blood, and her body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the wall. Fortunately, she transformed into her diamond form in time, thus avoiding injury.

Even so, her diamond body developed several cracks due to the violent impact. Diamonds are indeed hard, but too brittle. Emma had to exit her diamond form and revert to her flesh and blood body.

What the hell is this monster?

Emma did know of a type of mutant who also possessed this ability, such as the Two Maggots and Rogue, who could absorb and use the abilities of their enemies in various ways.

But someone like Rune, who only devoured a small portion of his spiritual power, could become so powerful in the spiritual realm that he could repel him.

Are you the Messiah of mutants—the great Lady Hope's son?

"Of course I'm not Hope's biological son."

The White Queen's heart skipped a beat. In her view, there was a person standing there, shining brightly. Who else could it be but Rune?

But Emma knew even better that Krakow was surrounded by various defensive structures, and that Krakow itself was alive. If someone had truly used teleportation to breach the outer defenses, the alarms would have sounded by now, unless—

"Damn it!" Emma cursed. "You actually turned around and attacked me!"

Emma's attack reactivated the Doomsday bloodline within Rune, rapidly strengthening his mental power. This directly led to a continuous increase in his mental abilities, enabling him to invade the White Queen's mind in turn.

"This is what you did to me, Emma. Don't think you're innocent." Rune didn't even look her in the eye. "And I have no interest in spreading the Rebirth Agreement around, much less in blackmailing you with this information—"

"But you said I would have to pay double—"

Rune's spiritual form turned its head and said with a cold laugh, "You've attacked a mercenary, and you still want him to work for you—would you be comfortable without paying double?"

"You make a good point," Emma said, clearly convinced. She took a deep breath, forced herself to stand up, and tidied her appearance to make herself look less disheveled. "So, what compensation do you need?"

"The blood comes from your island, from Wolverine. I haven't decided on the other one yet, we'll talk about it later," Rune stated his price.

"make a deal!
