Seeing that Cassandra had no intention of letting him go, Kurohane could only pull out his Edman Alloy Knife, its blade gleaming in the dim light. Cassandra's healing ability was comparable to a cockroach like Deadpool, so a pistol definitely wouldn't solve the problem. The person who had surprisingly shot her earlier was Deadpool. Even a large caliber pistol like a Desert Eagle couldn't kill her. Therefore, Kurohane didn't plan to use a pistol. He might as well just engage in close combat!
"Since you're not going to let me go, I won't be polite either!" Kurohane charged forward in one step, bringing a whistling wind, and slashed his knife at Cassandra's neck, a precise and deadly motion.
Cassandra saw the flashing knife light coming but didn't dodge at all. She simply took her hand out of her trench coat pocket and grabbed Kurohane's head! Cassandra's Telepathy ability was truly different from her younger brother, Professor X's Telepathy. Although Charles was paralyzed, he could enter other people's minds from a distance, but Cassandra had to make physical contact with people. Just like in the movie, she could put her hand into someone's brain without causing fatal injury, thereby peeking into their inner world. This ability could still be used within the TVA, as it was considered a semi-physical superpower.
Cassandra's thoughts couldn't fool Kurohane. The Edman Alloy Knife in his hand changed from slashing to stabbing. Combined with the length of his arm, it was much longer than Cassandra's hand! The sharp blade pierced into Cassandra's chest without any resistance. Blood spurted out, staining her red trench coat. Cassandra's body suddenly stopped, gasping. Kurohane stomped hard with his foot, also stopping his forward lunge. A lightning-fast left front kick was performed, hitting the hilt of the katana that was already stuck in Cassandra's chest. He kicked Cassandra flying, and she crashed into the men's room wall. The sharp knife pierced through the wall, leaving Cassandra suspended in the air!
Physical recovery ability is not the same as strength! Cassandra had a standard skeletal figure. Although she had incredibly fast physical recovery, she was clearly inferior to Kurohane, who had been strengthened many times over, in terms of strength and agility. Because she usually only relied on her Telepathy ability to solve all battles, it was never her turn to throw a punch.
Pfft!
Cassandra spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staining the front of her red trench coat. She grabbed the hilt of the knife in her chest with both hands, trying to pull it out. But how could Kurohane allow her to get what she wanted? An automatic rifle appeared in his hand, its barrel gleaming in the dim light. He watched Cassandra with a wicked grin. This weapon was one of the weapons and equipment originally funded by Tony Stark. Because it was inconvenient to use as a pistol, Kurohane had always kept it as a last resort. But now it was useful!
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
Bright tongues of flame erupted from the muzzle of the automatic rifle, illuminating the cramped space of the restroom with flickering light. It created a small metal storm. Copper bullets tore through Cassandra's hands. After passing through her body, they ricocheted off the walls, creating dangerous reflections. Causing Cassandra a second injury!
Actually, using this weapon in such a confined and narrow space seemed extremely dangerous for Kurohane. In reality, it was not safe at all, whether it was the ricocheting bullets bouncing off the walls or the small fragments formed by the bullets hitting the wall, which could cause fatal injuries to ordinary people. After Kurohane finished a magazine of bullets, his Magneto-bane combat uniform already had several holes. He was indeed hit by those broken concrete and tile fragments. If he hadn't worn this battle suit, he would likely have several bloody holes in his body too!
In contrast, Cassandra was far worse off than Kurohane. The flesh and blood of her arms had been torn apart, and her hands were gone. Besides her spine and a small amount of flesh supporting her head, her trachea and main blood vessels were also missing from her neck!
Kurohane tossed the automatic rifle in his hand into his Space Ring, and his right hand, leaving a slight afterimage, grabbed the hilt of the knife. Strike while the iron is hot! Now was the best chance to truly kill Cassandra! Although she couldn't pose any threat to him, he had to quickly get her brain out of her skull! If he left her alone, she would likely recover to her original state in a short time. Because Kurohane had confirmed one thing after seeing Wolverine: perhaps due to the Adamantium skeleton, Wolverine's regeneration ability seemed to be weakened, so Deadpool's recovery speed was stronger than Wolverine's. Cassandra, who had the same recovery ability as Deadpool, would only need a little over a minute to recover from such an injury!
Ding!
The Edman Alloy Knife made a crisp sound as it was pulled out of Cassandra's chest, releasing a spray of blood. Then it arched in the air and slashed towards the top of her head! The sharp blade cut through Cassandra's brow bone, severing the part of her head above her eyes.
Splat!
Kurohane was clever. His left hand snatched Cassandra's brain, which was still suspended in the air. He threw it directly to the ground and wildly swung the katana in his hand, chopping it into several pieces. He then stomped on it viciously with his foot twice, but Kurohane did not stop his movements. Because he hadn't heard the system prompt. Cassandra was a tough nut. A top-tier villain who wanted to destroy all timelines couldn't possibly not give him Justice Points! If there was no system prompt, it meant she wasn't completely dead yet!
As expected, Kurohane found that even without her brain, Cassandra's body was still recovering rapidly. The severed top of her head was continuously and rapidly repairing itself. Kurohane could even see the regenerating brain tissue!
Kurohane grinned, his teeth gritted. "If one slash doesn't kill you, I'll keep slashing! Besides, I've been injected with the Super Soldier Serum. I can keep slashing like this all day!"
Kurohane's hands were much faster than his brain. The katana in his hand turned into a silver flash. It enveloped Cassandra's body, instantly causing a huge spray of blood to erupt from her body! The originally white tiles and walls of the restroom were stained red with blood, and Kurohane's body was covered with small pieces of flesh!
Five minutes later, Kurohane, his black combat uniform soaked, walked out of the men's restroom. His face was covered in red bloodstains. The only thing on his entire body that could be considered clean was his katana, which was still pristine as new! Kurohane still hadn't managed to kill Cassandra. Although Kurohane had chopped every bone and every piece of flesh in her entire body into bits, he still hadn't heard the system prompt in his mind!
"This thing is really hard to kill..." Kurohane wiped the blood from his face and panted, only to see another bald woman appear before him!
"Teacher?!" Appearing before Kurohane was none other than the Sorcerer Supreme, The Ancient One, who was also Kurohane's magic teacher. The Ancient One, dressed in an elegant white wizard's robe, looked at Kurohane with a smile, even though Kurohane was currently covered in the stench of blood and grime. Without the slightest hint of disgust, she extended her right hand and lightly flicked her fingers. A stream of clear water appeared out of thin air, washing away most of the bloodstains on Kurohane and making him acutely aware, as if being flung from the fog of battle.
