Whoosh.
10,000 meters in the sky.
Brian held Mystique and hovered above the clouds.
The wings behind him stretched out to both sides, with the white feathers gleaming brightly in the sunset.
The golden vertical pupil mark between his eyebrows made Brian appear like a true angel in this moment.
"Brian, you really are my guardian angel."
In Brian's arms, Raven gazed at him with admiration and couldn't help but say it aloud.
This wasn't the first time Raven had called him that.
Ever since Brian had evolved wings and saved Raven from the danger of falling from a great height, she had come to see him as her guardian angel deep in her heart.
Now, Brian's place in Raven's heart had surpassed even that of Professor X.
"Let's go, Raven, I'll take you down."
Brian looked down at her, then flapped his wings powerfully.
Boom.
A sound barrier shattered in the sky.
At that moment, Brian's flight speed reached Mach 1.
From the ground, Brian resembled a supersonic fighter jet, plummeting toward the earth at incredible speed.
"What a fast speed."
On the ground, Sabastian Shaw looked up at Brian.
When he saw that Brian's flight had reached supersonic speed, even he couldn't help but feel surprised.
The Red Devil beside him drew a sharp breath.
Brian's speed was unbelievably fast—so fast that even with teleportation, the Red Devil couldn't track his movements.
"It's Brian."
Emma also shifted her attention from Professor X to Brian. Seeing Brian's angelic descent, she couldn't help but express her admiration.
Swish.
Brian descended rapidly at supersonic speed, and within seconds, he had fallen the full 10,000 meters.
When he was just 2 meters from the ground, his wings vibrated slightly.
His body came to an instant hover.
"Raven, stay by Charles' side."
Brian gently set Raven down and gave her instructions.
"Okay, Brian."
Raven landed steadily on the ground, nodded, and quickly walked over to Professor X.
As for the seriously injured and unconscious Magneto?
Now, both Professor X and the members of the Hellfire Club had chosen to ignore him.
In mid-air, Brian glanced at Professor X.
He hadn't expected Professor X to protect Raven.
Because of the presence of White Queen Emma, Professor X was essentially useless in this battle.
After seeing Raven approach Professor X, Brian flapped his wings slightly.
A fierce gust of wind immediately swept downward.
Then the gust turned into a massive tornado, enveloping both Professor X and Raven.
"Tornado?"
Looking at Professor X and Raven protected by the giant tornado, Sabastian Shaw Shaw and the Azazel exchanged glances.
They were very familiar with tornadoes.
After all, their fellow Mutant, Riptide, had the ability to create them.
Now, seeing Brian use the power of a tornado left them stunned.
"What the hell? How do you have Riptide's ability?"
The Red Devil glared at Brian angrily and demanded an explanation.
"You don't think only Riptide can use tornadoes?"
Brian looked down at the Red Devil with a contemptuous smile.
Then, he flapped his wings, and two massive tornadoes rose from the ground.
Whoosh, whoosh.
The two tornadoes swept rapidly toward the Red Devil.
Even from several meters away, the Red Devil could feel the intense tearing force from the tornadoes.
"Fuck!"
Faced with Brian's attack, the Red Devil dared not act recklessly. His body quickly transformed into red mist, using teleportation to dodge the tornado.
However, just as he finished teleporting, another tornado rushed toward him.
"Give me a fucking break!"
The Red Devil cursed again, forced to teleport repeatedly to avoid the relentless onslaught.
But every time he finished teleporting, another tornado appeared right in front of him.
"Ok! Now fucking stop, I get it! Your wings can create tornadoes?"**
After several teleports, the Red Devil gradually pieced together Brian's ability.
He had keenly noticed that each time a tornado materialized, it coincided with Brian flapping his wings.
It was clear that Brian could generate tornadoes by simply flapping his wings.
"Not too stupid."
Brian looked at the Red Devil coldly and said in a deep voice.
The wings that Brian evolved definitely did not have the ability to create tornadoes.
He had merely disguised the tornado ability he had plundered from Riptide as an ability of his angelic wings.
Wings can stir up strong winds.
It's reasonable to say they can generate tornadoes.
"Don't think a tornado can protect them, you fool."
The Red Devil teleported once again to evade the tornado, then smirked at Brian provocatively.
Swish.
He teleported again, and this time reappeared right in front of Professor X and Raven.
The tornado's protection was meaningless against the Red Devil, who could teleport effortlessly.
"Walked right into it."
Brian's cold gaze locked onto the Red Devil as he emerged from the red mist.
Without a second's hesitation, Brian spread his wings wide.
Countless white feathers rained down like a storm of sharp blades.
It was a relentless, violent assault.
In an instant, the feathers covered the center of the tornado vortex.
At the same time, another dragon-shaped tornado branched off, swallowing Professor X and Raven within its swirling winds.
Chi Chi Chi.
The sound of feathers piercing through flesh echoed sharply.
The Red Devil had no time to react and was impaled by the countless sharp feathers, his body turning into a bloodied pincushion.
"Ugh—a trap?"
The Red Devil, now drenched in blood, looked down at himself.
Though riddled with feathers, his demonic vitality kept him moving. Even in his gravely injured state, he remained able to act.
"Idiot."
Brian sneered, looking at the battered Red Devil with disdain.
The Red Devil's teleportation ability was indeed formidable—nearly impossible to counter.
No one, not even Brian, could limit the Red Devil's teleportation.
But just because it couldn't be restricted didn't mean he couldn't be outmaneuvered.
After forcing the Red Devil to teleport repeatedly using the tornadoes, Brian had finally created the perfect opportunity.
Brian finally discovered the Red Devil's weakness.
Whenever the red mist had not fully dissipated and the Red Devil had just reappeared, he was unable to teleport again.
Only when the red mist disappeared entirely could he teleport once more.
Although this interval was brief, Brian accurately seized the opportunity.
Swish.
The Red Devil's face twisted in pain, looking every bit like a living demon.
He stood up unsteadily, red mist swirling around his body once more.
Then, without hesitation, the Red Devil appeared directly in front of Brian. His sharp claws and tail lashed out, aiming to pierce Brian.
However, in response to the Red Devil's attack, Brian merely raised his right hand and casually snapped his fingers.
"Drilling the heart, cutting the bones."
Brian's feathers embedded in the Red Devil's body suddenly seemed to come to life, writhing deep into his flesh and bones.
They lodged firmly into his bones, sending an excruciating wave of pain through his entire body.
The unbearable pain drained the Red Devil of all his strength, forcing him to howl in agony.
Brian snapped his fingers again.
The feathers that had once felt like sharp blades instantly became soft, and the excruciating pain vanished as if it had never existed.
"You... What did you do to me?"
The Red Devil looked at Brian in horror. The pain he had experienced moments ago was so deep it felt like it reached his bones.
However, Brian did not answer.
Instead, he snapped his fingers once more, and the Red Devil let out another agonized scream.
This process repeated dozens of times.
Eventually, the torment left a profound psychological scar on the Red Devil.
He silently vowed that if he ever saw Brian again, he would run and hide.
This man was no ordinary Mutant—he was a demon lord incarnate.
He wielded a power that felt like a curse from hell.
After ensuring the Red Devil was thoroughly broken, Brian grabbed him and shot into the sky, ascending to an altitude of 10,000 meters.
"Azazel, there is no future for you with The Black Emperor. Follow me instead," Brian said, extending an invitation.
