Chapter 47: Demon and Angel
In the midst of such a chaotic battlefield, individual strength seemed minuscule. Despite the mutants' resistance, it felt akin to sending a recruit onto the battlefield with a mere weapon, their impact negligible.
Iceman, with his wealth of experience and abilities, found his power constrained by a long-standing commitment to non-lethal actions. While he saved numerous lives, the SSS continued to apprehend more people, and Max sensed the battlefield contracting.
The SSS inexorably tightened its grip on the front lines.
Observing Iceman constructing an ice wall to resist, Max shook his head and sprinted toward the converging SSS agents.
"Boom!"
A precisely aimed bullet felled an agent, and the last round expended. Max discarded the firearm, using it as an improvised projectile to strike an agent preparing to shoot. In the ensuing moments, other agents trained their weapons on Max, unleashing a barrage of gunfire.
The air resonated with rapid gunfire.
Within the smoky gunpowder haze, Max vanished.
"Where did he go?"
"Where is he hiding?"
The perplexed agent scanned the surroundings but found no trace of Max.
In a different space, Max glanced at his bruised arm, the result of a bullet graze. Although he had informed John that he couldn't simultaneously open two doors, he was capable of doing so. His soul's door remained perpetually ajar. However, continuous use of this ability drained him physically, and he preferred not to expend unnecessary energy on the battlefield.
The arm's bruise was a minor impediment to his combat prowess, especially considering his enhanced self-healing ability. It would likely mend in a short time. Taking a deep breath, Max squinted toward the gathering agents and strode purposefully in their direction.
Within the agent ranks, confusion reigned as they continued searching for Max's elusive figure.
Abruptly, a door materialized without a sound, and Max swiftly emerged in the next moment.
The sai pierced the agent's body with a sickening squelch, causing blood to splatter. Without pause, Max's other hand delivered a powerful punch while the sai danced through the air like a butterfly in a cluster, rapidly dispatching several agents to the ground.
A distant shot echoed, targeting Max and hitting him.
Max made no attempt to dodge as an arch suddenly appeared on his back, allowing the bullet to pass through instantly.
"What?"
The shooter anticipated Max's downfall, but instead, he witnessed Max continuing to ruthlessly eliminate his colleagues like a relentless force of nature.
"How is this possible?" Refusing to accept the surreal sight, the shooter fired again.
The bullet flew towards Max, disappearing into the arch once more.
"It's not over!"
The sai impaled another agent. Max seized the gun in the agent's hand, and without turning, he created a door beside him. Max stealthily stepped through just in time to evade a barrage of bullets.
In this alternate space, Max pressed on without pause.
Adopting a different strategy, he began assassinating agents by opening small doors around them.
The battlefield seemed to split into two distinct parts—one focused on Max and the other on Iceman!
Meanwhile, John capitalized on the chaos, rescuing people and sprinting towards the designated meeting point with Max.
Bullets pummeled the ice wall, and Sentinels relentlessly attacked, almost breaching the barrier.
Within the wall, Iceman nervously guarded a group of Mutants, aware that the ice barrier's endurance was waning.
A sudden scream pierced the air, coming towards the ice wall. An agent felt his shoulder grabbed, and in the next moment, he soared into the air.
Mid-air.
A pair of pristine, angelic wings unfurled and fluttered. The Mutant, Angel!
Angel, known as Warren, possessed wings akin to an angel's, granting him the power of flight. In the early stages of the Devil Island incident, a government antidote for Mutants was discovered. Though Warren contemplated injecting it, he ultimately resisted. Now, in the midst of the chaos, Angel appeared unexpectedly.
.....
In a different dimension.
Max, slightly taken aback by Angel's presence, witnessed more familiar faces materializing. Wolverine, Katie, Iceman, and now Angel—each one making a surprising appearance.
Angel carried the agent out of the battlefield, dropped him on the ground, spread his wings, and soared back into action.
However, just as he took flight, a resounding bang echoed through the air! Angel's screams followed, and he plummeted rapidly from the sky.
