The Old Soldier Who Came to Visit

"Boiii!"

When Asher returned to the real world, Celebi immediately cried and jumped into his arms - it was obvious that Asher's kidnapping, by the Dark Phoenix, scared the little one a lot.

"Jean!"

"Teacher!"

And Scott and the others, who were also anxiously waiting for an answer, surrounded Jean Gray and Professor X.

"Teacher... I am..."

Jean Gray covered her forehead, apparently unaware of what was happening.

"Jean, the power in her body has been defeated, and the evil personality has been erased forever."

The Professor sighed, and explained to Jean what had happened.

"Really!!!...That's right! I no longer feel her presence!"

After feeling better situation in her own mind, Jean looked at the Professor with surprise: "Thank you, professor!"

Scott, was another, who was naturally very happy when he heard this.

"..."

The Professor couldn't help but smile wryly after hearing this.

However, he didn't say much, just directly controlled the wheelchair and came to Asher's side: "Asher, thank you." "

"If it weren't for you, the whole school... No, the whole world could be..."

After observing everything that happened in the Astral plane, he knew what a true feat it was to defeat Jean's evil side.

If Dark Phoenix managed to kill the Professor, then after she completely controlled Jean's body, the mansion would certainly be destroyed!

To tell the truth, the entire planet could be in crisis!

And most importantly, Professor X saw Arceus summoned by Asher in this battle!

He didn't know what this Creature was, but one thing he could realize - that is, Asher, the mysterious summoner he met by chance, might be much more powerful, mysterious and dangerous than he thought!

Because since that Creature can be manifested in the Astral plane, it means that its existence is something that Asher could ''know'', something that really exists.

And if something like that really existed, then Professor X wouldn't even dare to imagine how powerful the being would be, and how dangerous it would be, whether for the mutants or for the entire planet.

"Everything I said before is valid, Asher - Besides, I promise that no one will know what happened in the Astral Plane."

Professor X said directly.

As the leader of the mutants, Professor X, he can understand the nuances of situations like this very well, even without his powers.

For a powerful and mysterious existence like Asher, Professor X didn't mind giving in a little.

"I hope the mutants can be friends with him."

And after hearing Professor X's words, Asher, who was in a good mood, of course, would not refuse the other party's obvious kindness: "Me too."

However, at this moment, Asher suddenly thought of a doubt he had before, so he also asked directly: "Teacher, have you ever heard of a mutant called "Apocalypse"?"

Back then, due to the appearance of the Dark Phoenix, his doubts were pushed to the back burner before he could ask.

"Apocalypse?"

Professor X frowned when he heard the name, "No - I've never heard of that name." "

He also looked at Asher with some curiosity: "Who is he?" Asher. Do you know this mutant? "

Obviously, he cares about his fellow mutants.

"No... Nothing - maybe I was wrong."

After Professor X's direct words, Tang Lin was also sure - although he doesn't know why, Professor

Although this news had nothing to do with Asher in essence, it still worried him - because after coming to this world, he discovered for the first time that there was a plot that was different from the plot he knew.

"Good?"

However, it was precisely when Asher was thinking about the possible reasons for this matter, that he seemed to suddenly feel something.

A message transmitted to him by the ''Pocket Space Core'' in space - Someone had entered!

———————————————————

Inside the pet store, the figure that barged in after Asher left was stunned at this point.

He has a strong body and long black hair, without a doubt the aspect that attracts the most attention about him would be his left arm - it was not a human arm, but a mechanical arm that emitted a strong silver glow!

He is Hydra's ace assassin, feared as a legend in the underworld - The Winter Soldier.

His hand reached for several small objects that were in a small bag.

If a military man saw them, he would easily recognize them - they were extremely powerful infiltration explosives, moreover, successfully attempted by the military not long ago!

Don't underestimate these little things - they are the product of the highest technology, one could blow up a house, several could demolish a building.

And now in the hands of the Winter Soldier, there are even more than 50 of these things in total!

This is the Winter Soldier's purpose here, to plant all these bombs secretly, and then detonate them remotely when the target returns.

But....

What happened next didn't go exactly as planned.

Because after entering, he first checked whether there were people in the store, and then when he opened the door to the backyard to continue the search, he discovered that his eyes saw something strange, which his brain refused to believe, the which made him stop where he was now.

He came across what appeared to be a cave, the inside of which was covered with strange icicles and crystals, what made the scene even stranger was that there was some light in this cave, which should have been completely dark.

"..."

The Winter Soldier couldn't help but frown, demonstrating something rare for someone who was robotic - yet the confusion was brief, and although he didn't know what the situation was, he had to find a way to get out of here and continue to complete his mission. .

Then he also pressed a button on his robotic arm, and then...

'Woohoo! '

A loud sharp sound came like a fire alarm, the Winter Soldier was trying to determine where the exit from this cave was through sound feedback.

However, he didn't even have time to take the first step.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of heavy footsteps, which caused a strong vibration every time they touched the ground, suddenly a feeling of crisis arose, and it became more and more intense.

"Grourrrr..."

Then he discovered that the ground had been frozen, ice as hard as iron due to the extreme temperature, and to make matters worse a layer of frost was slowly extending to his feet.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The footsteps became increasingly heavy, and a pair of yellow eyes followed by a huge body slowly appeared in the darkness.

A horrible and terrifying dragon-like monster took shape.

The Winter Soldier could clearly feel it - this monster seemed to be angry, very angry!
