"Come back to me!"
With the Soul-Sealing Technique, George forced Li Muxuan's wandering soul back into his body, then immediately infused it again. Both hands cast healing magic simultaneously.
In less than a minute, Li Muxuan's body had fully recovered. He opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.
"King… wasn't I already dead?"
Li Muxuan flexed his limbs in disbelief.
George smiled faintly.
"I told you I would spare your life. Since you didn't want me interfering in your battle with Lu Jin, I let him kill you first—then brought you back.
From this day forward, you are someone who has already died once. Your life no longer belongs to you—it belongs to Nason Island."
"He's alive… he actually came back to life! I clearly saw a hole in his head just now—yet he survived!"
The surrounding spectators gasped in shock, watching as George not only revived Li Muxuan from certain death but also healed all his wounds instantly.
It would have been reasonable if he had still drawn breath—but the man had been utterly lifeless, and yet George still brought him back.
"You're alive again!"
Lu Jin, who had been blasted two miles away by George's strike, came running back in a frenzy.
Seeing Li Muxuan standing there perfectly unharmed left him frozen in place, his frenzied state snapping back to normal.
"Lu Jin, you already killed Li Muxuan once. I revived him, but his life is no longer his own.
And one more thing—Wugensheng has long been dead. You need not waste time looking for him. From now on, Li Muxuan will remain on the island as part of the Nason Guard."
After saying this, George teleported away with Li Muxuan, reappearing at the dragon-drawn chariot. The nine-headed golden dragon pulled them from the valley, back toward Nason Island.
Lu Jin, after hearing George's words, collapsed onto the ground with a long exhale of relief.
"Wugensheng is dead… good. At last, every debt owed to San Yi Sect has been repaid. Teacher, you may rest in peace!"
Back on Nason Island, George forged several key tokens for Li Mumu, then secluded himself to study the Divine Tree and the Six Treasures technique—capable of devouring all and strengthening the body.
Meanwhile, in the Marvel Prime Universe, George slowly opened his eyes within the school's cultivation chamber.
"It's time to push mutant abilities even further."
His body's mutant powers originated from Professor X and Magneto, though at the start they were only at Level Two.
Later, through the study of magic, his mental strength soared, indirectly unlocking his psychic abilities until they rivaled even Professor X at his peak.
Likewise, with the addition of Misaka Mikoto's electromagnetic clone power, his control over magnetism had reached the level of the elder Magneto from the films.
But now, making another breakthrough had become difficult.
Only by advancing to the level of a single-universe entity—undergoing a qualitative leap in life itself—could he once again achieve a qualitative surge in mutant ability.
Unfortunately, even with every one of his avatars across different worlds striving for greater strength, advancing from the Heavenly Father tier to the single-universe level was not something achievable in a short time.
Whether through sheer personal power or by creating a dimension of his own, progress still required tempering and refinement.
According to the comics, mutants were the result of human genetic mutation—not a natural occurrence.
In humanity's primitive ape stage, one of the Celestials, the Explorer Oneg, implanted latent genes into certain apes, expanding their potential.
As Earth's species evolved, these genes transformed into the X-Gene—the genetic hallmark of mutants.
Because Earth itself is the core of the universe, its humans possess limitless potential. The upper limit of mutant power could even reach multiversal scale.
For example, Franklin Richards—the strongest mutant—wields powers such as time travel, control over causality, manipulation of time and space, rewriting reality, and even creating universes.
An undisputed multiversal-level mutant.
Thus, George still held high expectations for his own potential.
Merely wielding the powers of Professor X and Magneto, as depicted in the films, was far from enough to satisfy him.
He desired psychic abilities so strong that, without Cerebro's amplification, he could instantly dominate the consciousness of an entire planet's population.
And in terms of magnetism, he wished not just to move submarines or bridges, but to shift entire planets—just as Magneto had done in the comics.
But how could he elevate his powers to such heights?
Until recently, he had no means. Now, however, he did.
Thanks to Deadpool's last use of the TVA's equipment, George had acquired numerous coordinates to parallel universes within the Void.
And among them was one universe where a coming event could help him boost both his psychic and magnetic powers.
If fortune favored him, he might even acquire one of the Three Ancient Forces—the Phoenix Force itself.
Slipping the Sling Ring onto his hand, he searched for the recorded coordinates, then swiftly traced a portal through space.
At his current level, traversing to other Marvel universes still required the Sling Ring and the Vishanti's power.
But given his magical strength, borrowing such power posed no burden at all.
Stepping through the shimmering portal, he emerged on Earth in another Marvel parallel universe.
Scanning the surroundings—the architecture, the fashion of the people—he judged that he had chosen the right coordinates.
The timing also seemed accurate.
"Better hide my presence. If the Time Variance Authority detects me, it won't end well."
He quickly cloaked his aura, shrouding the area with temporal energy to block TVA sensors, then began his mission.
For someone crossing parallel universes without authorization, the TVA's disapproval was certain.
Though he did not fear them, he had no desire to provoke a direct clash with the God of Stories, Loki, who commanded them.
Until his plan was completed, caution was essential.
The TVA relied on Kang's technology to monitor countless universes. With limited manpower, their oversight could never be absolute.
That was why TVA agents usually only appeared after major events, cleaning up the aftermath.
Moreover, since Loki's reform of TVA operations, enforcement had become far looser.
As long as no one rampaged destructively through the timelines, the TVA often paid little attention.
Deadpool had used his time machine to hop dimensions countless times before finally being caught and brought back long afterward.
So if George remained careful, by the time he completed his mission and returned to his own universe, the TVA might never even notice.
