Ch-26 Surprise! Cassandra appears!

Russell was in a good mood.

Although the fusion ability was only at the purple level, it had greatly improved his combat power!

And with this experience, Cassandra's faction's combat power will definitely rise to an even higher level next time! She might even take action herself...

"Tsk tsk, you really wiped them all out."

Suddenly, a woman's voice filled with amusement and curiosity echoed in the air.

Russell felt a shiver run down his spine as his spider sense went into overdrive!

But when he looked around, he saw nothing.

Jhonny seemed to realize something, and with a panicked yell, he abandoned his friend and sprinted toward the Black Market without hesitation!

But after taking one step, he fell to the ground with a loud thud.

An unseen force lifted him into the air, dangling him upside down.

Russell's eyes narrowed as he guessed who it was. He hadn't expected to be so unlucky.

Just when he thought Cassandra wouldn't come, that crazy woman showed up!

No!

Maybe she was here all along!

Russell's body temperature rose rapidly as he assumed a defensive posture, using his spider sense to locate her.

But all he sensed was hostility from every direction, as if he were surrounded by enemies.

That woman's voice echoed again.

"Your combat abilities are quite different from what Paradox mentioned."

"He only said you had the Extremis virus, but now you also have Spider-Man's abilities, along with magic."

"Was he lying?"

"Or..."

"What secrets are you hiding?"

Her voice had been floating around him, but the last question suddenly came from right behind Russell!

"Come, let me see your memories!"

Cassandra appeared right behind Russell, her fingers reaching for his head!

Her mental power was immense, rivaling that of Professor X!

But to access someone's memories, she had to physically touch them!

Russell tried to dodge, but found that his body was immobilized by a powerful invisible force. He couldn't even move a finger!

The Human Torch, hanging upside down nearby, looked on in despair.

This woman was frighteningly strong. She could take down five mutant brothers in a row without any resistance.

He began to feel hopeless, wishing that the rumors he'd heard about her were wrong.

While the Human Torch felt defeated, Russell was still determined!

He knew that relying on his high body temperature wouldn't stop Cassandra.

In the movies, her mental powers gave her incredible self-healing abilities.

He needed another plan!

Magic Energy Shock

Furnace Overload!

Russell didn't even think about conserving his power. He would use his trump card if it meant survival!

He knew that Cassandra wasn't here because of the Banshee.

No, it was because the TVA was coming for him!

He would never let her go like in Deadpool 3. His survival was at stake!

Russell steeled himself for a fight.

But in that moment...

Boom!

A bell rang, and brilliant sunlight shone down.

Russell suddenly felt control return to his body, and he leapt away without hesitation!

He tried to use his sling ring to escape.

He knew the spatial fluctuations might attract Alioth at that moment, but he had no choice. He had to flee.

But in the next moment he realized that the space around him was locked. When he tried to open a portal, it vanished with a spark of golden light.

Undeterred, Russell summoned the Sacred Sword of Vishanti.

Just then, Cassandra's angry voice rang out:

"Khonshu!"

"This is outside the black market. Are you sure you want to interfere?"

Khonshu?

God of the moon and vengeance?

Russell's eyes narrowed as he looked in the direction of Cassandra.

He saw a being wrapped in golden bandages, with the head of a bird and the body of a man, holding a scepter and floating in the air.

Golden sunlight radiated from the scepter.

Russell was confused. This form looked different from the Konsu he remembered. Except for the bird's head, he looked more like a sun god.

A deep, ancient voice echoed from above:

"Cassandra, you are as impulsive as ever."

"Your spiritual power may be strong, but your mind is weak and lacks faith.

"If you continue on this path, you will destroy yourself."

Cassandra scowled:

"Enough!"

"Are you trying to pick a fight with me today?"

Khonshu descended from the sky, his scepter touching the ground. Golden sun symbols spread out as his voice echoed:

"You forgot the rules, Ms. Nova!"

Cassandra's face turned livid:

"Rules? This is the Void, and I've had enough of you!"

She clapped her hands, and the air seemed to solidify, compressing toward Khonshu in the center!

But the sun symbol on the ground flared to life, and the air itself began to burn.

Breathing became impossible!

Cassandra's own body began to burn, but she didn't scream. Instead, she raised her hands and the ground rumbled violently!

A massive giant of sand and stone, nearly 100 meters high, rose from the ground.

It shattered the sun symbol and swung at Khonshu!

And that wasn't all!

Cassandra was multitasking - she used her telekinetic power to hold Khonshu in place, preventing him from wielding his scepter!

From a distance, Russell saw his opportunity and acted immediately.

He quickly formed a magical circle with his hands, and the sky erupted with light!

A blazing holy sword dozens of meters long struck the giant, shattering him above the chest!

Cassandra sneered.

"Foolish. This is merely a puppet under my telekinetic control. It has no life!"

"You're wasting your power!"

"Haha, I hope you'll be that brave in a moment!"

She sneered, about to continue taunting him.

But the next second, she saw a flaming sword appear above her head!

Russell grinned.

"Thanks for the tip."

In an instant, flames rained down on her!

Cassandra's expression darkened.

The massive puppet crumbled and an invisible barrier appeared above her!

The flaming sword shattered upon impact and failed to penetrate her defenses!

"Bang!"

He hadn't expected this attack to work; it only created an opening!

A moment after releasing the spell, he mimicked a pistol with his hand, aiming at Cassandra!

When the barrier blocked the flaming holy sword, he unleashed Burning Blood!

A tiny blood-red arrow, glowing like molten magma, shot out of his fingertip, moving faster than a sniper's bullet and hitting Cassandra on the head.

Plop!

Cassandra's eyes went blank and she collapsed, motionless.

Did i win? Russell stared at the corpse.

It seemed easy just now, but if Cassandra hadn't been distracted by controlling Khonshu, if he hadn't seized that 0.01-second opportunity, he would never have succeeded!

But after a second, two, three... Russell realized that there was no response from the plundering system.

That was when the old voice spoke again:

"Don't bother. This woman is not dead."

"Her consciousness has escaped."
