Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

In addition, Kurt's father was also a well-known mutant.

Red Devil is a mutant that looks like a demon.

His real name is Azazel. Red Devil is one of the oldest living mutants, belonging to a group of demon-like mutants known as the Neyaphem.

They were defeated by another mutant race and banished to a dimension called Sulfur.

Of course, this sulfur dimension is also a dimension of hell.

This dimension can pass through various places in the real world, but only the Red Devils in this group can move around in the real world for short periods of time.

The Red Devil's abilities are similar to those of the Nightcrawler, but its power surpasses that of the Nightcrawler.

First, Red Devil is immortal and has a very long lifespan. He can also shapeshift and disguise his appearance through unknown means.

There is also the ability to bend one's will, manipulate the thoughts of others, and most importantly, to manipulate time and space.

He can teleport himself, his clothes, and other materials across different dimensions.

The Red Devil wants to permanently return himself and his fellow humans to reality.

So a plan was devised.

That is to have children, to conceive by mating with women who have unusual appearances or abilities, because his children are connected to his dimension, and he can use them to create a stable channel between dimensions.

Azazel ultimately planned to sacrifice dozens of his children to complete the ritual of liberation, freeing himself and his followers to rule the real world.

He should still be a member of the Hellfire Club.

That's too classic.

It can only be said that the Marvel Universe has its own unique circumstances.

Matthew wasn't particularly interested in Red Devil. He thought the guy was quite capable, and that this kind of monstrous, eccentric creature was better suited to stay on the dissection table in a laboratory.

Matthew really liked the scene of a young boy slaying a dragon.

Therefore, he has already decided to focus on developing Nightcrawler Kurt.

Then let Nightcrawler give Red Devil, his biological father, a big surprise.

.........

On the deck of a luxury yacht at sea, the beautiful White Queen is lying on a beach chair, wearing sunglasses and facing the glaring sunlight.

However, they were wearing very thick clothing.

After all, it's still a bit cold at this time of year, even when the sun is out.

Although the White Queen is one of the most powerful telepathic mutants in the world, her physical strength is not very high, even though she can transform herself into a diamond form.

It will still be cold.

The Black Queen and the Black King sat beside him.

Besides that, there's one core member, Red Devil, whose physique and appearance are indistinguishable from a devil.

The world's best-hidden mutant organization's top leaders gathered together.

"I heard there's been quite a commotion at the club these past few days." The Black Queen smoothed her hair, which had been tousled by the sea breeze, and looked at the Black King with a smile.

The Black King, also known as Sebastian Shaw, wore a white suit with a red pen hanging from his chest, exuding an elegance tinged with a hint of gloom.

"People's hearts are in turmoil. The empire established by that person in Eastern Europe, and that declaration, have driven mutants all over the world into a frenzy, let alone us."

Xiao Bai leaned against the railing of the yacht deck, looking bored, with a fishing rod in his hand. He seemed to be looking at the sea, but his attention was not on it at all.

He was clearly very agitated.

The Red Devil, the White Queen, and the Black Queen, who were present, could all see it.

Everyone understood why.

The Hellfire Club is a core group comprised of a small number of highly influential individuals.

Centered around the four mutants present, and of course there are also many humans in the club, the core group members are named after chess pieces.

The core group controls the Hellfire Club and subtly influences its activities to seize more power and wealth.

Their long-term goal is to overthrow human rule and establish a mutant-dominated world.

But now this plan is beginning to falter.

The reason for this stems from Terra's mutant immigration bill.

This bill affects not only countries around the world, but also organizations of all sizes that have mutants.

The Hellfire Club is a prime example.

Many of them are dissatisfied with the status quo and want to pursue more, such as power or stability, and want to immigrate to Terra.

But Xiao would never agree to that.

The Hellfire Club is secretly influencing the world, but it will never expose itself.

Especially empires like Terra, which, although newly established, possess extraordinary strength.

Xiao is very confident in his own energy and that of the people around him.

He firmly believes that the future belongs to him.

Until Terra appeared, his ambition was completely shattered.

He knew perfectly well how powerful the mutants he had gathered were, but when facing Terra, Shaw couldn't muster any confidence.

Let's not talk about that mysterious and powerful emperor.

The brilliance displayed by the Light Astartes, Ravens, and Grey Knights, along with their sheer numbers, was enough to crush anyone's ambition and confidence.

Shaw was unsure what Terra's core purpose was in establishing it.

However, he had to prepare for the worst.

If the other side establishes an empire, should you expand it?

Shaw saw the crux of the problem: if there was no expansion, why pass the mutant immigration bill?

Mutants may be a burden for other countries, but for Terra, they represent a huge demographic dividend.

Mutants make up a very small percentage of the world's population, probably around 20 million.

Even if only half of them immigrate to Terra, this massive population is enough to force Terra to take further action.

Land expansion.

What was the original intention behind the creation of Terra?

Protect the Earth? Protect humanity? Protect those displaced mutants, and give those poor souls who can't survive a stable society to live in?

Shit!

Xiao judged others by his own standards; he never believed in so-called kindness or compassion, only in power and ambition.

Possessing unimaginable power, how could he possibly protect those at the bottom of society?

Xiao would only scoff at this.

He believed that the so-called emperor must have ambitions.

And this ambition is called domination.

He believed that the emperor would eventually start a war at some point, gradually expanding and destroying one nation after another, bringing the entire world into Terra's territory.

That's why Xiao is so anxious.

Everyone present was shrewd; although Xiao didn't say it explicitly, they could guess what he was thinking.

The group exchanged glances.

After a moment of silence, Red Devil spoke, his voice deep and resonant, carrying the weight of history: "Are you worried about Terra?"

"I'm worried about all of us."

Xiao answered without hesitation.

"Worried about everyone?" The White Queen chuckled after pondering those words for a moment, saying with a hint of sarcasm, "I think you're worried about being purged yourself, aren't you?"

All she saw in the Terra Empire was fairness and order, which was even better for the good and even worse for the bad.

Given Terra's style, it's highly unlikely they would tolerate a sinner like Sebastian Shaw, who has committed numerous crimes.

It should be noted that, in terms of crimes alone, Shaw's offenses were far more serious than all of theirs.

Xiao's expression turned cold immediately, but he quickly recovered.

His gaze swept over the White Queen, the Black Queen, and the Red Devil.

He said softly, "Among us, every single one of us, if we're truly to be purged, who can escape?"

"The club's growth was built on our repeated plundering, and in the process, our hands were stained with blood."

"We are an indivisible whole."

"Isn't that so?"

Xiao's words plunged everyone into silence once again.

After a long pause, Xiao continued, as if talking to himself: "Terra brought so-called hope to the world, but that hope belongs to those at the bottom."

"They crave so-called fairness, but is Terra really fair?"

Or is it just a beautiful lie?

"Power and wealth have never come from fairness, but from oppression, so I believe some people share my concerns."

"Don't tell me you want to target Terra." The Black Queen, who had been silent all along, looked at Xiao as if he were a madman.

She used to think of Xiao as a ruthless and ambitious man.

A person you can't see through.

But now, Xiao is more like a wild beast driven mad by desperation.

But his final target of madness was Terra?

Isn't that just courting death?

Although the Black Queen has some ideas and ambitions that she needs to realize through the Hellfire Club, it doesn't mean she'll die with the club.

The White Queen remained silent, simply staring at Xiao.

It is obviously the same as the Black Queen.

As for the Red Devil, nobody knows what he's thinking.

This old man, who has lived for who knows how many years, is so adept at feigning his emotions that no one can see through him.

This includes Shaw, the nominal leader of the Hellfire Club.

“I wouldn’t be that stupid.” Xiao waved his hand, opened his suit jacket, and let it sway in the sea breeze.

“Someone is more anxious than I am.”

Xiao Cai wouldn't do something so foolish.

First of all, the opinions of the people inside will not be unified. His words just now were, to some extent, a test of the opinions of the members present.

The result made his heart sink.

The White Queen and the Black Queen made their stance very clear.

They won't do anything or participate in anything that's going to be done against Terra.

Xiao is much stronger than the Black and White Queen in terms of strength, but without a representative, he can easily order the two of them to do things they don't want to do.

On the contrary, the two of them could ridicule Xiao in private.

She wasn't afraid of him either.

Everyone has their trump cards.
