Charles said this was a cage, but she knew it was just a joke from the Polyhedron when they were negotiating. But the appearance of Earth 666 forced her to think about this issue...

Chapter 8 A World Full of Problems

"Wait, why does it look like my house has an extra floor?"

Selena, who had just made plans for the next day before going to bed, had just gone out when she discovered that there seemed to be some sudden and incredible changes in her apartment.

"Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen... Shit! There's one more level."

After realizing something was wrong and quickly counting the floors from bottom to top, Selena immediately widened her eyes.

"Damn it... this natural selection elimination ability, doesn't it have any hidden effects?"

After successfully awakening her mutant abilities, Selina immediately conducted a series of tests on the effects of her abilities. From the various information currently known, her abilities are actually manifested in two parts: "survival of the fittest" and "natural selection". If she can adapt to the threats posed by the surrounding environment, then her abilities will be manifested as "survival of the fittest". In other words, she can update and iterate any part of her body. As long as she can adapt to this environment, it is no problem for her to copy the abilities of other mutants or even receive foreign genes to strengthen herself!

But the problem is that her evolution as a human has a limit. She has no way to modify her life form, such as becoming a Kryptonian or Hyperion. There is no way for her to obtain the energy of millions of stars out of thin air, unless she has the Golden Sentinel Potion. But by reconstructing her own genes and returning to her ancestors, she can grow organs and body tissues of any native species on Earth. For example, those scales actually come from dinosaurs in the Jurassic period. But she can't turn her body into rock and steel like Darwin in the X-Men movie. Because once this limit is exceeded, her ability will be manifested as "survival of the fittest"...

This means that the triggering lower limit of the "Survival of the Fittest" ability has locked the upper limit of her "Survival of the Fittest" ability. She is indeed an Omega-level mutant, but the ability that reaches the Omega-level threat is "Survival of the Fittest", not the "Survival of the Fittest" she is currently using!

But now, new troubles have emerged again.

Because she discovered her ability to 'eliminate the environment itself', the effect seemed... a little too perverted.

"Although it is true that it is a means of modifying reality, this butterfly effect is a bit too outrageous. The vampire wolf from Earth 666 had no contact with me before. But the butterfly effect caused by me erasing him can even affect an apartment that has nothing to do with him. This is simply..."

Selina frowned. It was a great feeling to wipe out others, but the butterfly effect caused by the elimination of others by "natural selection" forced her to consider the gains and losses. This place that looked like a zombie universe was already very strange. If she wiped out a few more people, causing the timeline to change wildly, what would the future be like? Where would the zombie sentinel that was destined to fall from the sky appear?

"This ability... doesn't look like it can be used much."

Fortunately, she had copied Charles's mutant abilities before, so as long as she wanted, almost no one on the entire earth could do anything to her. Moreover, Professor X, the only one who could compete with her, was now also one of the Ancients.

"So, my current mission...is it still to improve my own strength?"

Thinking of this, Selina couldn't help but sigh. Her original plan was to investigate the various organizations and people in this world to see if those characters that she had heard of before were original to this universe.

However, the flaws of the ability "Survival of the Fittest" forced her to think whether her means of survival could really allow her to successfully survive those world-destroying crises. The elimination mechanism of the elimination environment itself would cause the timeline to be changed, which was more disadvantageous than beneficial for her, who relied on the God's perspective to take the initiative in all actions. The upper limit of the ability of "Survival of the Fittest" was locked by the triggering threshold of "Survival of the Fittest". This resulted in almost no essential difference between her and the group of fragile mutants in the comics. In fact, her only advantage in facing the group of Alpha-level mutants was that her ability strength reached the Omega level...

"Taxi!"

Thinking of this, Selena reached out and stopped a taxi passing by her.

"Go to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters."

Because she suddenly decided to go to Bishop Charles to ask for more money...

"Don't tell me you wasted two hundred thousand dollars in one day."

As soon as she got out of the taxi, Selina saw Bishop Charles standing in front of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters with a gloomy face.

"It's not about the money, it's just that I killed a wolverine yesterday."

Serena was not surprised at all. Now she didn't need to notify Charles in advance if she wanted to find him. As long as she got close to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, he would know she was coming.

"The cook is sick today, so Logan is making breakfast for the kids. But the smell...tsk tsk."

Although Charles did not answer Selina's words, his meaning was very clear, that is, he didn't know which Wolverine was killed, because the Wolverine on his side happened to be in the kitchen at the moment.

"It comes from Earth-666 and calls itself the Vampire King. Imagine, an immortal vampire named James Howlett with an adamantium skeleton. As you said before, the waters of this world are indeed very deep."

Hearing this, Charles' expression finally changed. He knew what a vampire was, but a mutant with a self-healing factor could be infected by this thing. He must be a pure-blood at least, and the vampire lord even gave him a first embrace. A vampire Logan with supernatural powers? This is just like a psychotic thriller movie at a midnight drive-in theater...

"so?"

Feeling vaguely that someone seemed to be about to ask for a huge sum of money again, Charles just curled his lips and spoke without any hesitation.

"I want to borrow the brain wave enhancer because I always have a premonition that something big is about to happen..."

Although the plan was disrupted, in Selena's opinion, there is no conflict between strengthening one's own strength and investigating the truth of the world.

(PS: Why didn’t anyone vote for me! Then I continued to cry…)

Chapter 9 Raid on the New York Sanctuary

"Are you sure you want to do this? Kill this world's Sorcerer Supreme?"

Standing at 117A Bleecker Street, in front of the Holy of Holies, Bishop Charles, who was wearing a brainwave enhancer, and Selina, who was also wearing a brainwave enhancer, had successfully controlled the son of Hamill who came to open the door and was elected the "king" of the Supreme Sorcerer in the MCU universe.

"Killing him is only the last resort. My target is the magic in his hand, Exile of Singhsoon. If he refuses to hand it over, then I can only kill him to eliminate the trouble forever."

Selina, who was communicating with Charles through the mental channel, had a meticulous expression on her face. When she borrowed the brainwave enhancer earlier, she had used the telepathy copied from Charles to read the memories of most of the heroes and villains on Earth. This action brought her two pieces of news, one good and one bad. The good news was that she verified the true identity of this universe, and it was Earth 2149 as she had previously guessed. But at the same time, she also found that there were many people in this world, like Bishop Charles, who should not be here.

For example, Deadpool who slaughtered the Marvel Universe. For example, the Ghost Rider with a fire pot on his head. For example, the old Thanos who was frozen under the Arctic glacier. Or the one who brought her the most sense of danger——Nathaniel Richards from the 18854 universe, also known as the Time-Eater...Kang.

So no matter what, she had to get the magic called 'Monsoon Exile' from Stephen Strange.

If that doesn't work, she will have to kill the Sorcerer Supreme and seize his energy connection with Dormammu. Then, she will sacrifice the Dark Dimension to the Polyhedrons in exchange for the power of the Old Ones...

"Like we said before...it's all business."

Following Selina's whisper, the Sanctuary, which should have been calm, suddenly began to shake violently. Countless magics surrounded it, and the next moment, a furious wizard with anger written all over his face rushed out wearing only a bathrobe.

"You bunch of damn bastards! Who gave you the courage to come to the Supreme Sorcerer..."

Unfortunately, the Sorcerer Supreme who was not a horse-faced one was stunned the moment he rushed out of the door. He never expected that the person who was standing in front of the Sanctum Sanctorum to cause trouble for him would be Professor Xavier of the School for Gifted Youngsters and a woman he had never met. However, it was precisely this moment of daze that successfully gave Charles and Selina an opportunity to take advantage of. When Strange saw clearly what they were wearing on their heads, it was too late.

"Do not......"

The Supreme Sorcerer, who enjoyed great prestige throughout the multiverse, did not even have time to exclaim, and stood there in a daze as if he had lost his soul. Facing the attack from the two most powerful psychics in human history, his proud mental shield only lasted less than half a second before it was completely shattered.

"Your telepathic energy does not come from superflow, but it is powerful enough to rival the Phoenix Force. To be honest... I now feel that giving you the brainwave enhancer is not a good idea."

Bishop Charles frowned slightly. When attacking Strange's mind protection magic, even he felt a little bit of resistance. But just when he was about to think of a way to disintegrate this barrier, Selina's mind energy actually tore those magics to pieces! You know, in order to prevent himself from being possessed by the devil, Strange left nearly a hundred kinds of protective magic on his body! Even if only half of them were effective against mind penetration, that was still a big number. But even so, these defensive means still couldn't last a round in front of her...

"After all, I am an Omega-level mutant. Even if I can't be as powerful as that young god, at least I can beat up a wizard easily."

Because the operation was so smooth that it was a little surprising, Selina was in a good mood at the moment. According to the original plan, the two who failed to hit the Supreme Sorcerer would probably have to fight a close-range battle with the furious Supreme Sorcerer. The son of Hamil would become a bargaining chip in the negotiation to exchange for the magic ritual called "Monsoon Exile".

"Oh my God! What are you doing?"

Unfortunately, there is always a loophole. Before Selina could make a move on Doctor Strange's head, a scream instantly attracted the attention of the two people in front of the door.

"Doctor Druid?"

Looking at the man standing in the Sanctum Sanctorum with a shocked face, Selina raised her eyebrows and instantly recognized his identity. That was Anthony Ludgate Druid, a former member of the Avengers. As soon as he debuted, he was invited by the NSA agent Jack Curtis to join a team called "Monster Hunter". By the way, his teammate Ulysses Bloodstone was the father of Elsa Bloodstone, one of the members of Midnight Sons in the future.

"Strange went astray again while studying the dark arts. His mental projection came to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, asking for our help. An angry 'spirit' took over his body. Since he couldn't summon his mental strength to cast the restoration spell, he was trapped outside by his own protective magic."

Selena stopped Charles who was about to kill him through mental communication and spoke without blushing or beating her heart.

"Dark magic? Is he studying that dark book again?"

However, what Charles never expected was that this doctor named Druid actually believed Selina's lies.

"We originally wanted to ask Wang for help, but he attacked us without explanation. It was obvious that he was cursed by the spirit that occupied Strange's body. So the problem now is that we two mutants don't understand your magic tricks, but Strange can't win against the spirit in his body..."

Having said this, Selina paused, and the druid doctor over there instantly understood what she meant.

"You need help?"

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Charles' eyes began to twitch unnaturally.

"Yes, Strange said that there are a lot of dangerous magics in his mind, so we can't intervene directly. But if you can tell us the location of those dangerous magics, then we should be able to work together with Strange to drive the spirit out of his body."

At this point, Serena smiled slyly.

"After all, we, the X-Men, are good neighbors to the citizens of New York."

Chapter 10: Monsoon Exile

"Dr. Druid, what is this rune?"

"Those are Bolts of Balthakk, a method of launching arcane energy wave attacks. They are not dangerous."

"What about this? What is this?"

"Let me see... Lugus! How could Strange learn such magic? Those are the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Cyttorak is not someone you can easily mess with!"

"I see. It's a dangerous item, right? Then look at this. What is this?"

The work of disassembling Strange's brain is in full swing. Facing Selina who asked questions like a curious baby and drew various runes and spells, Anthony became more and more frightened, especially when the dimensional energy link with Dormammu was found. He believed the nonsense that Selina had made up before without any doubt.

"This? I have never seen this thing before, but it seems familiar..."

But this time, Anthony, who could call out the names of magic spells and their effects, fell into deep thought. Then, he brought a huge magic book that was almost half a person's height and began to search through it.

"How is this possible? Where did he find this kind of thing..."

Fortunately, his doubts did not last long, and he screamed on the spot.

"what happened?"

Seeing him like this, Charles, who was originally a little uninterested, immediately came over.

"I thought its existence was just a legend, but I didn't expect..."

Anthony's slightly sighing expression made Serena instantly realize that what she wanted might be in her hands. So, she approached him without leaving any trace.

"Legend? What kind of legend? Don't tell me Strange has created other problems."

Facing Selina's question, Dr. Druid obviously had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. The colorless and invisible telekinetic blade was now hovering over his forehead.

"It's called Monsoon Exile... or Monsoon Banishment? But the name humans gave it is meaningless, because the effect of this ritual is to concentrate all the magic in the world on the caster..."

Unfortunately, before the Druid doctor could finish his words, the telekinetic shell split into tens of millions of steel needles, turning his mage's head into a pool of paste.

"It seems... you found what you wanted."

Seeing Serena act so decisively, Charles, who was watching nearby, was somewhat surprised. According to his understanding, an ordinary person from a peaceful era should not be so decisive in killing.

"So he's useless."

Selina shrugged and turned to the dead Strange. As the mental channel successfully connected the two, a faint magic power appeared on her fingertips.

"Exile of Singhsoon!"

Under Selina's control, Strange pinched his fingers and uttered the spell. In an instant, he turned into a giant siphon-like existence. Various colorful energies attacked from all directions and continuously poured into his puppet-like body.
