Chapter 014: Don't like it? That's not my problem.
"Explain." She narrowed her eyes slightly.
"How would you feel if you were standing beside a cosmic entity that at any moment could ask you for something irrational in the form of a 'favor'?" He pointed out.
"If I ask for your help and accept it, I will have to help you again in the future with some nonsense involving the Phoenix, nonsense I don't want to deal with."
"I could do it as a favor." Jean said.
"Please, don't treat me like an idiot. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, especially when it comes to a cosmic entity." He snorted. Maybe Jean would do it for free, but the moment some nonsense involving that bird starts happening, he is 100% sure the bird will appear in front of him demanding he pay the debt.
'A debt involving the creation of a completely new life? Yeah, no thanks.' Adrian snorted.
Phoenix is the pettiest cosmic entity in Marvel, second only to Lady Death. Therefore, I have absolutely no intention of asking her for help. It's not like I'm in a hurry either. I just need to keep an eye on the Soul Stone, Idun's apples, and the Power Stone.'
"I am not the Phoenix, I am Jean Grey." Her tone grew even stronger. "I am the one in control, not her." The atmosphere began to grow unbearably hot.
[Hot, hot, hot!] Even with his newly acquired resistance, this wasn't ordinary fire, it was cosmic fire.
Venom quickly retreated back inside Adrian.
[Damn that bitch! She melted the material just from her irritation!? What's wrong with that bird? If we hadn't gotten stronger, we would have vanished from existence!]
"I can—" She swallowed dryly.
"Tsk." Adrian clicked his tongue when he saw Venom retreat. He looked at Jean with irritation. "Control your damn temper, woman." He growled.
Jean visibly trembled and blushed. She turned her face away. "… Yes." She spoke in a very meek voice for Adrian's taste.
Even with her face turned away, she still looked at him from the corner of her eyes.
"???" Adrian looked at Emma and Psylocke who were staring at him intensely.
Feeling his hair blowing in front of him, he narrowed his eyes when he saw the white strands. He looked at the mansion's mirror: 'Whoa, I got the isekai protagonist package!' He thought.
Long snow-white messy hair reaching down to his butt, his body itself didn't change much, he still has a muscular body, but visibly, he is more… 'efficient,' which means he became even more handsome, but not in a feminine way, rather in a wilder way.
It's like a mix of Son Goku and the Fang Monarch Rakan from Solo Leveling, together with Ororo's white hair. Combining that with his height and his divine eyes, he has a very wild and dangerous vibe.
'Whoa, Gaia's gene is powerful, huh? She even managed to affect my mutation.' Adrian thought as he looked at his own hair. For his mutation not to discard the change in his hair color, Gaia's genes must have something powerful.
'Considering that Thor is Gaia and Odin's son, I can understand why… Am I gaining divine genes?' He can't discard that hypothesis. He remembers Ororo became a goddess in the comics; he doesn't remember how she became one, after all, he only saw an image of her as a goddess and thought it was cool.
He tried cutting his hair and saw he couldn't even with a lot of strength. Only when he truly exerted himself did the hair get cut. It seems his entire body was strengthened and optimized.
"My mutation loves efficiency, huh." He smiled, and now that he saw his teeth were sharper, like predator fangs, even his canines were bigger.
[Venom clothes, I'm naked, my brother. Even though I don't care, it's weird being unprotected down there.]
[If that bird gets hot again, I will attack.] Soon his body was covered by black clothes, black pants, a black long-sleeved shirt, and black sneakers.
Are you trying to kill us? Control yourself.]
Adrian felt no shame at all. Why should he? His body is perfect, and shame gets you killed in combat!
Only when Adrian covered himself did the three women start breathing again.
"Adrian."
"Yes?" Even his normal voice is deeper and more magnetic now.
"Why do you insist so much on creating your wives?" Jean looked at him with a subtle gaze.
"Isn't it obvious? Haven't I already said?"
"I feel there's another reason, something more important." Jean didn't give up.
"… Ah, that's simple, I want a harem." He stated it as a fact.
"….." Emma and Jean visibly twitched, instinctively hating the idea.
He nodded to himself. "Modern women have a 1% chance of accepting this kind of relationship, and even if they accept, they will still actively work to sabotage other women like the Chinese imperial harems. That's one of my biggest reasons."
"Therefore, if I create my own wives, that will never happen." He nodded in satisfaction. His reasoning was perfect!
"…" The three women had dealt with many things in life before, but this is the first time they were genuinely perplexed by such a line of thought.
"Just how does your head work to think in that direction." Jean shook her head.
"For me it's quite logical. Modern women don't accept my desires? Alright, I respect that. If they don't accept, then I'll just create those who will." He nodded, satisfied.
It makes no sense! It's like the ruler of a nation saying: you think I'm a tyrant? Then I'll replace all of you with those who accept me!
It's like he goes from 0 to 100 very fast, and he doesn't take no for an answer!
The worst part is that because of his capability, his logic isn't wrong. After all, he has the ability to do what he said. It's only a matter of time until he reaches his goals.
Jean is furious and disgusted by his desires, not that Adrian cares what anyone thinks. If he wants it, he will do it. It's simple.
"Anyway, I'm leaving." He put his hands in his pockets. The next moment, a motorcycle was summoned in front of him. He sat on the motorcycle, and in the next moment the motorcycle itself began to change, his clothes also began to change into a biker theme.
Vrooom!
"Wait!!" Emma, Jean, and Psylocke spoke at the same time. The ninja even appeared in front of the motorcycle.
'Psylocke?' Adrian looked the ninja up and down. He had completely ignored her for a few seconds. "Hmm, you're beautiful. Maybe I'll create a ninja for myself too." He started thinking about female ninjas, and his mind immediately went to Ino from Naruto, or a samurai like Saeko from Highschool of the Dead.
2B and Eve from Stellar Blade are good too! Actually, both are perfect. One is an icon he likes, and the other is a hot Asian!
Psylocke's eye twitched. She doesn't know whether to feel flattered by the compliment or offended by the fact that this man is thinking about creating a woman instead of going after her!
Wait, that's not it! She doesn't care whether he goes after her or not! It's just… this feeling is irritating!
Damn, she has never met someone so confusing! The way he thinks is like he's an Alien!
"What is it? The X-Men are over there, they're fine. I already healed them."
"That's not it!" Jean said in frustration. She doesn't know why she's frustrated, but she is frustrated!
"… I have nowhere to live!" Jean hinted.
"Hmm, I'm sure Emma can help with that." Adrian didn't fall for the trap.
"You think I would accept help from her?" Jean snorted.
"That's your problem, woman, not mine." Adrian shrugged.
"You—" The temperature around her began to rise.
Adrian narrowed his eyes and moved slightly forward with the motorcycle.
Thinking he was about to leave, Jean said, "Wait!"
"Stop with that fire. It's cosmic fire. A small flame of it can erase someone from existence." He pointed out.
"If you're going to explode because of that time of the month, please go somewhere else. Preferably far away from the planet!"
"You're irritating! Forget it!" She snorted and turned away.
"Women." He snorted as well.
Then he looked at Emma:
"What do you want?"
"Weren't you the one who proposed a deal?"
"Hmm, that's true." Adrian has power, but not influence, but he has telepathy now…
'No, that's not a good idea. This is the X-Men from the comics. The ridiculous amount of technology that neutralizes mutations and protects others from telepathy is absurd.' Not to mention that if he traps someone influential with telepathy and some of the 'heroes' discover him, he will have to deal with them.
And with Sentry on the heroes' side, it's foolish to become a villain in this universe.
'Damn! This cursed place. Even with my powers now, at best I'm high-tier. I'm not even one of the heavyweights capable of facing gods yet!' Adrian knows he's exaggerating. Even if he isn't among the strongest in terms of raw power, he is undoubtedly one of the most versatile Supers due to his wide range of abilities.
"You want me to kill Selene, Shaw, and the White King?"
"Yes." Emma didn't question how he knows the first two names. With just a small introduction, she knows he is very competent.
'Selene is like Rogue, she absorbs essence like a succubus. The problem is whether this Selene knows magic or not. Depending on the version, it will be troublesome to deal with her. Shaw's mutation is very easy to handle. I just need to ignore physical attacks and turn his organs into water, something quite easy with my biocenosis.' Adrian thought there are thousands of ways to deal with the two.
"And in exchange you give me full support for any project of mine?"
"Yes." She didn't even hesitate to answer. Just having someone that powerful on her side is very beneficial, especially someone so 'pure' in motivations.
"I can do that. Do you know someone named Teresia Karisik? They often call her Sage."
"She is one of Shaw's assistants."
"She's an infiltrator for that bald man. Blackmail her and make her side with you. I want to meet her."
"… That will be complicated." Emma said, thinking about the other woman's capabilities.
"No need to use telepathy." He snorted. These telepaths rely too much on that ability. "Just say the bald man died and her mission is over. You know? The usual. I know you like these things."
"… That's true." She narrowed her eyes. How does he know something so personal about her?
Jean, who had left, returned with furious steps while staring at Adrian.
"What's her problem?" Adrian laughed.
"You really don't know?" Emma raised an eyebrow.
"I know, but that doesn't mean I have to deal with it. It's her problem, not mine."
Jean's problem? Simple, she wants attention, but Adrian couldn't care less about her.
"Why didn't you go after me?"
"Woman, if you want attention, go after your Simp over there." He pointed to where Scott is.
"I don't want him, I want you." Emo Jean is online again, and she went on the attack!
"As I said, that's your problem. I won't trade an entire forest I can create with all my tastes for a wild tree." He rolled his eyes. He doesn't understand her confusing thought process!
Commitment to just one woman? Please, he transmigrated to Marvel and has Super Powers. Of course he will satisfy his desires. He already compromised too much in his past life.
"… You're irritating." Jean narrowed her eyes dangerously. She is very irritated by this rejection! No one rejects Jean Grey! Jean Grey rejects everyone! It's common sense!
While ignoring the irritated bird who is too proud of herself, Adrian pulled a card from Venom's biomass and threw it to Emma.
"Here, call me when you meet Sage, or when Shaw and Selene are together in a room." Adrian remembers the two rarely appeared together.
"What do you need from me?" She asked while memorizing his phone number and tearing the card, then putting the paper in her pocket.
"Hmm." Using his new telepathy, he knocked on Emma's mind gently, like a neighbor knocking on a door asking for permission to enter.
Emma narrowed her eyes and let him in. In the next moment, he began giving instructions to Emma, emphasizing some materials he cannot obtain without influence. Soon he left her mind.
Checking the resources one by one, Emma felt a chill. "… Why do you need so many resources? Are you trying to create hundreds of atomic bombs? Not even I can get this much without raising suspicion from SHIELD."
"That's a lie. Use the Hellfire Club. It will be easy with their help. I'm sure you have plenty of power there to use as a favor."
Emma's eyes twitched. 'He really doesn't let me have an advantage in anything.'
"And you can use those materials?" Just from the list, there are many metals and products strictly controlled by the military and the government. She would need to call in some favors to obtain some of those items.
"Please. If I declare myself the smartest man on the planet, Reed would have to sigh and accept second place." He snorted. He withdrew Venom back into his body. When the motorcycle returned to normal, he showed it to his clients.
"Look at the motorcycle I created! It's at least 10 years ahead of its time!" He pressed a button, and the front of the motorcycle opened to the sides. He grabbed the two swords and jumped backward. In midair, he combined the two swords and pointed them at Emma.
They were perfect replicas of Cloud's swords.
"Cool, right?" He smiled like an excited child.
That smile was fatal to the three women because the contrast was too great.
'Whoa, the privilege of being handsome is real.' He laughed inwardly. He won't lie and say he isn't enjoying the attention.
"Here, test it." He suddenly flipped the sword and handed the handle to Emma. Unconsciously, Emma grabbed the handle.
But when Adrian let go of the sword, it fell to the ground causing a small shockwave around, consequently the sword got stuck in the ground.
"… Huh?" Emma, who almost fell along with the sword, looked incredulously at the hole in the ground.
It's so heavy and sharp!
Psylocke approached and looked at the weapon. "It's a good sword, but it's too heavy…" She tried to pick it up, but even so she couldn't lift it.
"It's only 10 tons. After all, weight is power." Adrian said. He picked up the sword from the ground, and with a horizontal gesture, the pressure of the wind cut a bunch of trees and sent them flying into the sky.
"See?"
"…." Emma, Jean, and Psylocke just stared open-mouthed at the scene.
"How did you become stronger so fast?" Jean questioned him. She was very curious! It's only been a few days, but he already changed so much!
"You didn't have… those powers before." She looked him up and down.
"You didn't have those powers before either." He smiled at her.
Jean hated herself for blushing and turning her face away, a woman almost 30 acting like a little girl! Ridiculous!
'Her emotions are all over the place, as expected. The Phoenix is really enjoying her emotional freedom.' Adrian evaluated.
"Don't change the subject, explain!" She demanded.
Adrian just snorted. "I don't want to."
"You—!" Why is he so different from the others!? Just answer!
'Woman, do you think you're dealing with those protagonists who just because you're a pretty woman, they must explain everything? Or those loser protagonists who love explaining everything to everyone?' He commented to himself.
'Please, everyone has secrets! I'm not obligated to tell my secrets to anyone!'
'If I don't want to talk, nobody will force me to talk! I, Adrian D. Newgate, have a dream! The dream of saying: NO, to everyone who thinks I owe an explanation!' He nodded to himself, satisfied.
