The Death Knell

Chapter 4118 King of Trumpets

"I have a rough guess. I will list the suspects who have the characteristics of 'having a personal grudge with Charles', 'being able to control others', 'ability to act like black smoke', and 'being good at covert operations', and then cross-compare them."

Too lazy to pay attention to Tony's showoff, even though he could tell that it was probably an application of quantum mechanics, Su Ming did not want to delve deeper into technology, but talked about his own reasoning:

"Coupled with Klinta's shadow transformation, I identified another suspect. The one who took away Charles and Hank should be our old friend, the Shadow King."

"Oh, I've never heard of it. Not all cats and dogs can be considered my acquaintances." Tony poured himself another glass of wine. He liked drinking too much.

"It's him?!"

But when Ororo heard this code name, her whole body felt like she was electrocuted, and her hair stood up in a swish.

"Do you know this man? Where is he? I'm going to kill him!"

Wolverine popped out his claws. He couldn't bear it anymore. Charles was very kind to him. Anyone who dared to touch the professor would be stabbed to death.

At this time, Storm couldn't care less about Logan's inability to control his crotch. She pursed her lips and nodded vigorously:

"Yes, he is not only the professor's enemy, but also my enemy. No, this is all my fault."

Then, she told everyone present about her experience. Although Su Ming knew it, the girl wanted to say it, so it would be okay to just listen to it herself.

In Ororo's childhood experience, there was a time when she was a thief in Egypt. At that time, her 'boss' was Ahmed Jibal, a psychic mutant and the largest thief leader in Egypt at the time.

But Ahmed Jibal is just a thief, a person who cannot stand on the stage. Behind him, there is a real evil leader named Ammar Farooq.

On the surface, he seems to be a royal relative of the Egyptian Farouk family, but in fact, the thieves organization is just one of the many tools he uses to train his subordinates and make money.

After Charles defeated Ahmed, he was about to take Ororo out of there, but while eating at a roadside restaurant, the Shadow King came to the door and wanted to kill Charles.

That damn fat man said a lot of evil things, but to sum it up it’s very simple: he is enslaving human beings.

If Magneto's philosophy is to use force to fight for equal rights, then Shadow King's philosophy is even more extreme. He wants to control the world through his own abilities. It can be said that he is in the same vein as Apocalypse, and even more extreme.

Apocalypse believes that mutants are superior to humans, so mutants should rule the world. As the strongest mutant, he naturally has the greatest rights.

Those who are willing to serve themselves will naturally be able to share in the glory of the prosperous age. Being one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse or something, they are also superior to others.

The Shadow King goes one step further on this basis, that is, he wants to enslave everyone, whether they are ordinary people or mutants. Those who are inferior to him are all inferior people and slaves.

Charles has good abilities, but the Shadow King thinks he is an obstacle to enslaving everyone, so he wants to remove the obstacle.

Unless the bald man is willing to surrender and act as his slave, he can avoid death.

Of course, Charles was unwilling. His philosophy was completely different from that of a mutant lunatic, so the two began to fight. From a real-life shootout, it evolved into a collision of superpowers and thoughts. The Shadow King controlled Charles's body through his shadow, but The bald man used his soul to leave his body and used his soul to sneak attack in the star world and severely injured the Shadow King.

Because Charles didn't kill anyone, he sealed the Shadow King in the star realm. What he was best at was various spiritual seals.

The astral world is a relatively independent special dimension, and magicians sometimes use it to perform special out-of-body meditation.

But obviously, the consequences of not killing people are here. Any mental shackles or seals imposed by Charles have always treated the symptoms but not the root cause. It seems that the Shadow King has escaped now, and he still doesn't know how to become an ally with Narr.

The last time he was accidentally sealed by Charles, and this time he was the one to attack, so Charles would definitely not be his opponent.

"Won't you add a few words?"

After listening to Storm's story, smart Tony immediately asked Deathstroke. After all, in terms of intelligence ability, Deathstroke must be the best in the universe. Maybe there is something Ororo doesn't know?

"The Shadow King is the embodiment of the dark side of the multiverse. He was born in the first nightmare in the universe. He uses shadow as power and food. He lives in the shadow of human souls and can constantly change hosts. Conventional means cannot completely Kill him."

Su Ming talked about the Shadow King. Amar was actually just one of the many hosts of the Shadow King. No one even knew his real name.

He has his own secret organization and has his own hosts everywhere, and different hosts are responsible for different things.

When he needs to cause trouble in Egypt, he logs into the 'account' of Ammar Farooq. When he needs to cause trouble in the United States, he logs into the 'account' of a F-ass official named Jacob Reis. He also has a god named Kwa Anansi (Kwa Anansi), a Loa god in Africa, which is the ancient animal god.

This is a god worshiped by Voodooism. He is a half-human, half-spider, dark-skinned monster with a rabbit head and bisexual characteristics.

Normally, this kind of strange-looking monster would follow Seth and Sithorne. It had escaped the sharp fangs of the God Eater, but it had not escaped the control of the Shadow King after all.

The Shadow King can control other people's bodies by controlling their shadows. At the same time, he can also possess others and manipulate their minds like evil spirits.

He can change his host without any restrictions and is very hidden. It is even possible that when Su Ming and his group go shopping, the host of the Shadow King will pass by among the passers-by.

His ability is very difficult to prevent when used to trick people, and he is particularly tolerant and likes to make decisions before taking action. He is not an easy guy to deal with.

Of course, it depends on who is dealing with him.

If it's just mutants who want to deal with the Shadow King, even if you include the Scarlet Witch, it might be a little difficult. The main reason is that the Shadow King is an old yinbi. If you want to kill him, you have to be darker than him.

But now that Deathstroke has intervened in this matter, there are more means at his disposal.

There is only one thing left that remains unclear, and that is how the Shadow King got in touch with Gnar?

Klinta's appearance covered with black smoke is actually the power of the shadows. The transfer into the shadow plane is also a manifestation of the Shadow King's ability.

Could it be that the Shadow King turned Gnar into a trumpet? He probably doesn't have that ability

Anyway, Su Ming probably told everyone present about the Shadow King's abilities and background. Just hearing the word multiverse, several people suddenly withered like frosted eggplants.

"Multiverse level, Mr. Wilson, do you think we still have a chance?"

Peter has met other Spider-Men in the multiverse, so he is naturally the one who understands the concept of multiverse best.

"Yes, although you may not know it, there was a fusion of the multiverse not long ago, and other parallel worlds collided and disappeared. Today, only our 40K Earth is left in the multiverse, so He said that this is also the time when the Shadow King is at his weakest, so there is no need to worry about him joining other accounts in the parallel world."

Su Ming smiled and answered the boy. This matter can be regarded as an unexpected surprise. If other parallel worlds were still there, then this matter would be more complicated.

Just the Shadow King Trumpet of the parallel world that he knows about includes Charles from Earth 6141, Cyclops from Earth 9112, Donald Pierce from Earth 616, and others. Now they all died in the cosmic collision experiment launched by the Transcendent Gods. That's a good thing.

The timing of the Shadow King's troubles was not perfect. He lost his timing in the first step, and he was bound to lose in the face of the death knell.
