A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts - Chapter 929
c929 Prevent World War III? Professor X is kidnapped
“Do you know what you are doing?” Charles said anxiously, “If you choose to help Apocalypse, the existence of mutants will be completely exposed to the eyes of the world.”
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.” Eric disagreed, “Mutants are born different. This is a talent given by God to a very small number of people.
Even if we cannot be superior, we should at least enjoy some privileges. Even if we have no privileges, we should at least be treated fairly!
But what is the actual situation? The word fairness is too luxurious for mutants, and they have to fight hard to pursue it even if they want to survive. ”
“Things are getting better, the world is getting better, and you should be more patient.”
“Wake up! Charles.” Eric said a little tiredly, “Prejudice has always existed, they are afraid of us, hate us, and are jealous of us.
The school you founded is just a false peace that deceives itself and others. When they are able to deal with you, you and your students will be their targets for killing.
If you don’t break out in silence, you will perish in silence.
I’m done hiding like a rat in dark corners, and Apocalypse is just the thing to give the world a mutant voice. ”
“Apocalypse will not succeed. SHIELD found three stone tablets in Cairo, which contain prophecies of Apocalypse’s escape. His ambition will not succeed.”
“What prophecy tablet?” Eric asked with a frown.
“I’m just telling you, you shouldn’t help him, you will become the target of public criticism.”
“Haha! Charles, do you think I care about this?
Do I have anything to lose? ”
Hearing this, Charles couldn’t help but fell silent, speechless.
Eric now has nothing, so he naturally does things without any scruples.
“As for the prophecy…” Eric sneered, “It’s good if Apocalypse succeeds. If he fails, it won’t have any impact on my plan.”
“Your… plan?” Charles paused and subconsciously explored Eric’s memory.
Eric’s expression changed slightly, and he realized that he seemed to have said too much, so he immediately put on a helmet to block Charles’ telepathy.
At this moment, Apocalypse seemed to sense something. He looked at Eric with a faint look in his eyes, and his mental power was directed at Charles Xavier, who was thousands of miles away.
His powerful psychic abilities entered Eric’s mind and connected him with Charles.
“Hank.” Charles swallowed, “He is not alone, Apocalypse is next to him, and he found me.”
“Wonderful, so wonderful.” Tianqi’s tone was filled with wonder for the first time.
“What did you see?” the angel asked curiously.
“The answer I’ve been looking for.”
As the words fell, he began to invade Charles’ mind.
In the laboratory, the data of the brainwave amplifier increased crazily, making a buzzing alarm sound.
“Quick, turn it off, Hank.
No, destroy it, destroy the brainwave amplifier, quickly. ”
Hank immediately debugged the mastermind’s data and tried to disconnect, but it was still a step too late. Apocalypse and Charles’ minds were already connected.
While Charles was losing consciousness, he suddenly saw the same scene as Qin’s dream. The end of the world seemed to be on Apocalypse.
“Oh my God!”
“Thank you for letting me in.” Apocalypse’s pupils turned gray-white, completely controlling Charles’ brain and feeling his mutant ability.
Hank intuitively saw patches of deep purple appearing in the red universe around him, and this purple was eroding and devouring the red universe at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“I have never felt such power.” The corners of Charles’ mouth were raised high, and his pupils were completely occupied by darkness.
Hank panicked and operated the out-of-control brainwave amplifier, but to no avail.
On the other side, Apocalypse closed his eyes and used Charles’s psychic ability to find mankind’s greatest support.
Nuclear submarines, military bases, helicarriers, etc. appeared in front of him almost undefended.
“Humanity has always been the same, and now they have this.”
“No more stone tools, no more spears, no more slings, no more swords, no more weapons, no more order…No more need.”
“There is no need for so-called super powers.”
As he spoke, he controlled all the people in the world who had the codes for nuclear weapons, preparing to destroy mankind’s most powerful weapon in one fell swoop.
Zhi!
“ah!”
In desperation, Hank transformed into a beast with blue hair, smashed the mastermind with a punch, and forcibly removed Charles’ helmet.
The severe pain of nerve rupture allowed Charles to regain consciousness and break the link with Apocalypse.
“Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!” Charles was sweating profusely and breathing unusually fast. “It’s so close, just a little bit close.”
“What happened, Charles?”
“Nuclear bombs, Apocalypse will launch all the nuclear weapons in the world to make mankind lose the confidence to resist.”
“Waltfa! Is he crazy?”
“No, he’s not crazy, he’s very sane.
He wants humans to become toothless tigers, which will reduce a lot of resistance to his desire to re-establish order. ”
“But if this happens, all humans will regard mutants as enemies, there will be no possibility of reconciliation, and the war will last for a long time.” Hank cursed indignantly.
What Apocalypse can do, Charles can also do, but he has never done so because it is no different from going to war directly.
And even without nuclear bombs, mutants have almost no chance of winning against the huge number of humans who share the same hatred.
“Perhaps this is what Apocalypse wants.” Charles said exhaustedly, “Your fist was extremely timely and directly prevented a world war.”
“Now is not the time to talk about this!
Tianqi has noticed you, he will come to you soon, you have to hide quickly. ”
“It’s too late.” Charles took a deep breath, “Get out of here and summon the X-Men.
Also, notify the people at S.H.I.E.L.D.
I will try to delay it as long as possible, but the rest will depend on you. ”
…
“It’s a pity.” Tianqi slowly opened his eyes and said in a nonchalant tone: “But it doesn’t matter, at least I know his existence.
They could draw their bows and shoot arrows from the top of the Tower of Babel, but they could never hurt God. ”
“Tell me, kid.
Who is that mutant with telepathic powers? ”
“Charles Xavier.” Eric said calmly, “He is an old friend of mine.”
“Very well, he will be my fourth knight.”
“Master.” Psylocke said hesitantly, “Charles’s psychic ability is very powerful, but I don’t recommend that you conquer him.”
“Why?”
“Charles’s philosophy is different from yours. He hopes that humans and mutants can coexist peacefully.
This is why I did not recommend him to you, he will not be loyal to you. ”
“Peaceful coexistence?” A trace of contempt appeared on Tianqi’s lips, “It’s really ridiculous. He is obviously a god, but he wants to put himself in the same position as an ant.
If he is willing to repent, I will give him a chance.
If he doesn’t want to, then there is no need for him to exist.
But before that, I need him to do one more thing for me. ”
Hearing this, Eric’s expression moved slightly, “Maybe I can try to convince him.
Although Charles was pedantic, he was not hopeless. ”
Tianqi nodded slightly and immediately opened the portal.
A purple portal appeared at the door of the laboratory, and Apocalypse walked out of it with Psylocke, Angel, and Magneto.
Charles seemed to have expected this scene, and was not too nervous. He just looked at Eric with complicated eyes, “It came so fast!”
Without saying a word, Eric reached out to control the wheelchair under Charles and brought him to his own camp.
“The apocalypse is coming, my son.”
Apocalypse said, the purple portal opened again, taking the five of them away from here.
…
As soon as they left, Hank hurriedly summoned Storm Ororo, Cyclops Scott, and Colossus Piotr from the academy, and explained the current situation to them.
“The professor was taken away by Apocalypse? Is Magneto still involved?” Ororo’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Are you sure you’re not joking, Hank?”
Hank was so anxious that he asked, “Would I joke about something like this?”
“We have to rescue the professor.” Piotr said seriously, “This school cannot live without him.”
“The question is how to save him?” Ororo said in a low voice, “We don’t even know where the professor was taken.”
“SHIELD can help.” Hank said with a wry smile, “Coulson also called before saying that SHIELD is willing to provide support within its capabilities.
Their intelligence system is the strongest in the world. As long as Apocalypse can make a little noise, they can lock in the specific location.
And before Charles was captured, he also reminded me to notify SHIELD. ”
“Then notify him immediately!” Piotr said immediately.
“Don’t I have to wait for you to come over first!” Hank took out his cell phone in a distracted voice and dialed Nick Fury’s number.
“What happened, Professor Hank?”
“The worst thing that could happen, Charles is captured by Apocalypse.”
“Fuck Fuck!” Nick Fury cursed, and then quickly adjusted his attitude, “What do you need SHIELD’s help for?”
“I have temporarily summoned the X-Men in the academy, but we need SHIELD to help locate Charles.”
“No problem, I’ll let you know as soon as I have news.” Nick Fury agreed simply, but he was complaining crazily in his heart.
He didn’t expect Charles to be so useless. As soon as SHIELD reminded him, he was caught and he might as well be dead.
If Charles dies, Apocalypse will have no way to obtain his mutant abilities, and then the knife hanging over human heads will naturally cease to exist.
But the problem is that Charles cannot die yet. He is the bridge of friendly communication between mutants and humans. If he dies, there will be no one to check and balance those mutants who are malicious to humans.
“If possible, I hope SHIELD can send some people to assist us.”
“That’s no problem.” Nick Fury said, “Natasha, Barton and Steve will lead an elite special forces team to help you.
But first of all, it is difficult for ordinary agents to compete head-on with Apocalypse. We can only provide some fire support at critical times. ”
“Thank you!” Hank was obviously relieved. All three Avengers were sent out by Nick Fury, which was enough to prove SHIELD’s sincerity.
“I am also considering the overall situation.”
“I have another unwelcome request.” Hank said awkwardly, “If all the X-Men are sent out, there will be no one to protect the School for Gifted Youngsters.”
“You don’t want us to protect those mutant students, do you?” Nick Fury felt that Hank was asking for more.
Is protection still protection at this time?
That’s called support, or backing up. SHIELD doesn’t intend to do this for the Mutant School.
“No, you misunderstood, Director Fury.
I don’t mean to ask SHIELD to protect these students, but I hope you can temporarily conceal the news and not let other forces know about the situation of the School for Gifted Youngsters.”
“That’s no problem. We also want to avoid conflicts as much as possible.”
“If…” Hank hesitated, “I mean if, if any force really takes the opportunity to attack the school and capture mutants, please let SHIELD know after the matter is over.”
Nick Fury nodded thoughtfully, “I know.
But I need to remind you that the key to the problem is Charles Xavier.”
“Of course I know, we are going to save him now.”
Nick Fury raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, “Professor Hank, no, Professor Henry Philip McCoy, you are really very rational .
The government may set up a Mutant Affairs Department in the future. If you are willing, I will recommend you to be the director. ”
“Let’s save Charles first!”
After hanging up the phone, Hank let out a long breath and looked at the three people in front of him solemnly, “Go change into the X-Men uniforms first, and then go to the plane and wait.”
“Wait, Hank.” Scott suddenly interrupted, “Just a few of us may not be the opponent of Apocalypse.”
“Let’s give it a try!” Hank said in a deep voice, “If we can’t stop Apocalypse, we will only save Charles, and we have to save him no matter what.”
“Hank, you misunderstood, I mean…” Scott said a little embarrassedly, “Do you want to call Jean too?”
“Huh? She’s… not suitable at this time, right?”
“One more person means more strength, right?” Scott said far-fetchedly.
“Your abacus beads have fallen on my face.” Piotr smacked his lips, “I am embarrassed to expose you.”
“Let me emphasize that this has nothing to do with personal feelings.
I am simply doing this for the safety of the professor and for this school.”
“Whatever the reason, Cyclops has some truth in what he said.” Hank’s tone was a little more helpless, but the prophecy mentioned Phoenix, and Jean was the only person in the Mutant Academy who could be related to Phoenix.
“Notify Jean and tell her what happened.”
“Okay, professor.”
