Miss Serena's daily rent collection in American comics

"Let's go in and talk."

Finally, Serena, who had successfully grabbed breakfast at the dining area of ​​Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, spoke in the face of Charles' slightly subtle expression...

"If you have paid attention to your surroundings recently, you should know why I came to see you."

After wiping the black pepper sauce off her mouth, Selena did not answer Charles' question, but instead threw the question back to him.

"Then what should I call you? Ms. Selina, or... Ms. Time Traveler?"

Charles crossed his hands in front of him. It was obvious that he had successfully read Serena's memory when the violent mental shock swept across the entire block. Although it was only a short moment, he still pieced together Serena's true identity from those fragmented information.

"Just call me Serena. After all, I have come to this world."

As she spoke, the woman spread her hands, and Charles, who was sitting opposite her, frowned again.

"Just for the mutagen that Philip made for Magneto? As a time traveler, you should be very aware of the side effects of that thing. The induced mutant abilities are either too weak to be useful, or too strong to be controlled. If you are unlucky and don't have the X gene, then it is almost the same as poison. It's like injecting sulfuric acid into your blood vessels, corroding everything from the inside out into a pool of rotten flesh."

Charles deliberately exaggerated the consequences, but this did not scare Selena.

"The potion is only a part of my plan. My ultimate goal is not just to gain mutant abilities."

People without the X gene will die from genetic collapse if they use mutagen. As a senior comic book reader, how could Selina not know this? Even in the X-Men movies produced by 20th Century Fox, the effect of mutagen did not change much. That's why she was so sure and asked Charles for the stuff directly.

"Being too greedy is not a good thing."

As if he had misunderstood Selena's meaning, Charles immediately frowned.

"Don't tell me you haven't realized you're no longer in your original universe."

In response, Selena just replied calmly.

"The original universe?"

Hearing this, Charles was stunned.

"Don't believe it? Tell me first, what is the name of Captain America in your memory?"

Selina smiled mysteriously.

"Captain......"

Unfortunately, before Charles could finish his words, he was stunned by the memoirs that Selina took out of her bag.

"Colonel America... and was also president. Isn't that amazing?"

In fact, as early as when she saw Charles standing in front of the academy to greet her, Selina had already realized the seriousness of the problem. As we all know, in the comic world, Professor X who can stand up either becomes a villain or loses his ability. Especially after seeing that it was not the X-Men logo she remembered, she immediately realized that this Professor X was probably not the original product of this universe, just like herself.

"As far as I can remember, there is only one team of mutants called 'Ex-Men', and that is Bishop Charles from Earth 10011 and his followers. Similarly, Steve Rogers, who is known as Colonel America and once served as president, only exists in one world. That is Earth 2149, or... the Zombie Universe."

As she spoke, Serena took hold of one of Charles' hands.

"As you can see, we are actually the same kind of people. We don't belong to this world, but for some unknown reasons, we came here."

Then, she raised her other hand and pressed it on her temple. Charles, who was sitting opposite her, seemed to know something and did the same thing.

Then, a memory filled with extreme blood and fear came flooding back like a tide...

"What should I say?"

"Anyway..."

"Welcome to hell."

(PS: Do you want both chapters to be the main text, or one chapter for the main text and one for the extra chapter? I fell into deep thought...)

(PS2: Then I put the tail at the door and tried to get it to perform some talent in exchange for tickets.)

Chapter 4: The Stars of the Past Shine Here

There were only a man and a woman in the smoke-filled conference room. Although the other members of the X-Men were not there, Charles, as a bishop, had already understood the seriousness of this "time travel" incident.

"You should be thankful that this isn't Nevada World. There's no smoking-or-die rule."

Playing with the bright blue medicine in the syringe gun in her hand, Selena knew very well that even if Charles wanted to refuse the deal now, he probably had no way to do so.

"Thank you for reminding me. If I'm not mistaken, this universe is probably a huge cage."

However, Charles ignored her teasing. He just put out the cigarette in his hand and stared at Selena, who was a little absent-minded, with his glowing red eyes.

"Cage? Interesting, tell me why."

But his words did arouse Selina's interest. Seeing someone from the cancerous universe in the zombie universe usually means only two possibilities. Either the polyhedron has set its sights on this bloody world. Or the zombies have found a way to other universes in the endless reincarnation. And free, eternal and unrestrained life undoubtedly meets the zombies' insatiable appetite. There is no concept of death in the cancerous universe. Everything will continue in a ridiculous way beyond common sense. Whether it is the sun, the moon, or the stars, they will be transformed into flesh and blood full of life, just like the curse flowing between the pulses...

"The cycle of fate, the cycle of life and death, is a necessary component of a rational space-time. As the foundation of the foundation, it is the original nature of the universe. Our unruly lives are obviously not existences that can be accepted by the space-time continuum. And the zombies in this universe obviously break the rules of this rational space-time. As things beyond common sense, they are trapped in an endless cycle of time. But now, we are here. This cage that imprisons the hungry infected has welcomed their new cellmate. A being that is more rampant and more chaotic than them. So I have reason to suspect that this is an unspeakable place that is specifically used to imprison evil people like us."

Hearing this, Serena raised her eyebrows. Charles's remarks did sound interesting, but these remarks could only barely explain the origins of this group of 'Ex-Men'. And I, who traveled through time from a peaceful era, was obviously...

Thinking of this, Selena was suddenly stunned.

Then, she saw Charles in front of her, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up.

"Well, I was right, wasn't I? We...are indeed all sinful and evil people."

Serena, however, fell into silence. It was not until several minutes later that she spoke with a dark face.

"Yes, the Anglo-Saxons are so unreasonable. They fear our thoughts, blaspheme our beliefs, and try to describe our sky as the same color of copper as theirs. For them, being in a socialist country is really a sinful thing."

If this world is really a prison for the guilty, then it is not hard to understand why she, as a party member, would appear in such a place. There is no great conspiracy, nor any accident caused by supernatural powers. It is just because her beliefs and her world are not accepted by others, so she appears here as part of the evil...

"Then tell me about your ideal. Every rabbit has a dream of becoming a great country."

Charles just smiled at this.

"You want me to help you enter the multiverse? Is that what the Polyhedron means?"

Selena is not some novice who reads some cool novels. Her experiences in society made her realize that there was something else behind Charles' words.

"As you can see, this is a deal. We can give you power, endless life, and freedom from viruses and infected people. So what can you give us? There is a reward for giving, and we are happy to invest in it, just like what you are holding in your hands right now."

Hearing this, Selina was stunned for a moment. To be honest, she couldn't see the difference between this thing and ordinary mutagenic potion.

"No matter what ability you awaken in the future, we can guarantee that it will be Omega-level."

Charles' words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in Selena's ears.

"Omega level? You... No, did you know from the beginning what mutant powers I would gain?"

But the surprise only lasted for a moment, and then Selina frowned deeply. No merit, no reward. Omega-level mutants, no matter what abilities they have, are almost the same as God. When the ancients cannot descend directly, the power of their believers is far from strong enough to create an Omega-level mutant out of thin air. This means that her conversation with Charles has indeed successfully attracted the attention of the ancients. Therefore, Charles changed his address to "we"...

"You are very smart, and we only like to do business with smart people."

This was a hurtful remark. Although no one was named, Selina knew that the other party was talking about Mar-Vell, the first Captain Marvel of the Cancer Universe. Unfortunately, in the comics of the Cancer Universe, the plan of the Ancients to invade the space-time continuum ultimately failed. Because Mar-Vell was indeed a fool, as Charles said.

"There are actually many ways to enter the multiverse, but the real difficulty is to hide it from the Eternal and Living Tribunal. Unfortunately, that method... I just happen to know it."

As she spoke, Selina stretched out her hand towards the multi-horned ancient god in front of her, who had already revealed his inhuman appearance.

"Have you enjoyed working together?"

The other party also extended a tentacle and grasped her in a way that was beyond human cognition.

“It’s been a pleasure to work with you…”

(PS: A little-known fact: the ban on smoking in Nevada comes from the violent disco 'MADNESS COMBAT'. Because the world of the violent disco is called Nevada, and anyone who smoked in the film, whether the protagonist or the supporting role, died.)

(PS2: The new book needs a lot of votes! So! Hurry up and vote for me! Make a super loud noise...)

Chapter 5 What is it like to collect rent from the whole world?

"Your medicine...isn't it expired?"

Looking at the two needle holes on her arm left by the injection gun, Selina, who had waited for more than half an hour without any reaction, said to Charles with a subtle expression. The famous Professor X was also looking at her in confusion, as if he had not expected such a development.

"It should take about 20 seconds to take effect, how could it be that it has no effect at all..."

Charles' expression gradually became a little embarrassed. He had already boasted that awakening would be Omega-level, but the fact that the injection had no effect really hurt him.

"Um?!"

Charles, who had been unable to come up with any idea, raised his hand and pressed it against his temple again. But within a moment, he immediately took his hand away and looked at Serena in front of him with some disbelief. He then repeated this several times before speaking with a little uncertainty.

"Your ability...seems to have awakened."

It is no exaggeration to say that when Charles used his psychic ability to detect Selina in front of him, he was almost burned to ashes by the dazzling heat like the sun. The terrifying energy gathered here, which was huge enough to tear apart reality, had obviously reached the level of an Omega-level mutant.

"But I don't feel anything. I can't create anything out of thin air, nor can I shoot electricity and flames. Even though I tried very hard, I couldn't make the cup in front of me float out of thin air."

Hearing this, Charles was also in a dilemma. He had clearly obtained such a powerful energy that was almost becoming an anchor to tear apart reality, but there was no sign of it in the material world. This was simply...

"Wait, I think I understand."

Suddenly, Charles seemed to have thought of something.

"What do you know?"

Selena just kept exerting force on the cup in front of her, trying to make it move successfully using various postures.

"Your ability... I'm afraid it's not something in the conventional sense. Although most of us mutants have the power of energy projection, there are also some people whose abilities cannot stir up anything in the material world. For example, Logan, who has a self-healing factor, can't project any weird energy."

Charles' words gave Selena some idea, so she stopped exerting force on the cup from a distance, and instead clenched her fist and smashed the cup on the table.

Sure enough, an accident happened.

The glass shattered, but Selina's hand was not hurt at all. Some kind of dark green scales wrapped around her arm the moment her fist touched the glass, successfully preventing her from being hurt by this reckless act.

"It looks like... it seems like a transformation-type ability?"

Charles looked at Selina's arm which was completely covered with dark green scales with great interest. The alienation of the body caused by mutant abilities is often irreversible and involves the whole body. In his impression, a situation like Selina's, which can only be manifested when threatened, is extremely rare.

"No, I don't think so..."

But obviously, Serena herself didn't think so. She stared at her arm that had changed, not knowing what she was thinking. After a few minutes, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, and then she grabbed the lighter that Charles had thrown aside on the table, and directly put her arm covered with scales above the flame.

Then, something even more incredible happened!

The flame at the tip of the lighter seemed to have life, surrounding Selina's arm and directly turning the dark green scales into a fiery red! A blue light composed entirely of plasma began to condense in her palm. From a distance, it looked as if she had grown a claw composed entirely of indigo flames!

"this......"

Such an amazing change naturally attracted Charles's attention. The flame that emitted amazing heat and raised the temperature of the entire conference room was obviously not something that a small lighter could do. The flame...was intensified when it came into contact with Selena's arm!

"I think I know what my ability is...Survival of the fittest? No, to be more precise, it should be called natural selection."

When the flames in his hand dissipated, the dark green scales that originally covered Selena's entire arm began to fade away at an alarming speed, revealing her original skin.
