Destroy S.H.I.E.L.D.? (First Update)

"Erik Lehnsherr, you've come all this way to see me at this hour, surely it's not just for casual conversation? I wonder what this very important matter you just mentioned is?"

Sipping his coffee and listening to Magneto's endless chatter—the same old Mutants ramblings— Hawking stopped wasting time and cut straight to the point.

In a typical conversation between two people, whoever loses patience first will be at a disadvantage and lose the initiative.

But Hawking disagreed, believing that as long as one is strong enough, one will never lose the initiative.

Even without transforming into Great Ape or loading any Protagonist Template, he can already suppress Magneto. Naturally, he doesn't need to waste time testing his patience with Magneto. What he wants now is to finish the conversation as soon as possible, go home, and reunite with his family.

Seeing that Hawking couldn't hold back any longer, Magneto knew when to stop and, without keeping him in suspense any longer, said with a serious expression:

"Hawking, S.H.I.E.L.D.. is preparing to deal with us Mutants!"

"What? You're not kidding, are you?"

Hawking raised an eyebrow.

Of Nick Fury's current crew, apart from Captain Marvel, there aren't many who can fight. Even Carter, Hawkeye, and Black Widow can only contend with ordinary X-Men.

Captain Marvel alone couldn't possibly withstand the combined forces of him, Magneto, and Professor X.

This is why Nick Fury was willing to accept tripartite negotiations in the first place.

Moreover, at this point in time, the Avengers such as Thor, Hulk, Iron Man Tony, and Doctor Strange Stephen have not yet appeared, nor have they been recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D.., which is unusual.

Could it be that Magneto himself is trying to cause trouble?

Given the current situation, Nick Fury wouldn't cause trouble if he had any sense; he felt that Magneto, the man in front of him, was more likely to be the one causing trouble.

Magneto, the old fox, had clearly anticipated Hawking's suspicions. He gestured to Mystique beside him, Mystique nodded and took some documents from her handbag, placing them on the table.

"These are some documents I obtained from within S.H.I.E.L.D.. after infiltrating their organization."

"As expected of the number one female Mutants spy, she can even infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.."

Hawking picked up the stack of documents and quickly browsed through them, his expression growing increasingly serious with each reading.

"I never expected that the Mutants kid who could nullify superpowers would be taken by S.H.I.E.L.D.."

In X-Men 3, there is a Mutants child codenamed "The Cure." Any Superpowered Person gets close to him will lose their powers, which will only be restored after they move away from him.

Later, a company called Worthington, through studying the Mutants child's abilities, developed a drug that could turn Mutants into ordinary people, and also made corresponding weapons.

Magneto feared that humans would use this drug to wipe out all Mutants, so he rallied a large number of Mutants to try to destroy the drug.

However, in reality, this drug cannot permanently turn Mutants into ordinary people; it only temporarily suppresses their abilities.

He had actually sent people to look for this company before, but found that Worthington Corporation in this universe was just an ordinary biological company and they had not found the Mutants child researching related drugs.

He thought it was because it was a different universe, so this plot didn't exist here.

It turns out that S.H.I.E.L.D.. had already snatched it away, and not only had they developed the corresponding weapons, but they had also developed collars and handcuffs that could suppress Mutants abilities.

This reminded him of the handcuffs that Doctor Strange wore when he was captured in the movie Doctor Strange 2, which could suppress his magical abilities. Perhaps they were an improvement on that design.

"Erik Lehnsherr, why didn't you tell the professor about something so important first, instead of coming to me?"

Hawking closed the document and asked expressionlessly.

Actually, he wasn't surprised by S.H.I.E.L.D..'s actions. That's just how Nick Fury is; he always wants to keep all danger under his control.

However, he lacked the strength to control the situation and instead caused even greater trouble. It wasn't until after the Hydra incident that he reflected on his actions and became more restrained.

Just like how he always wanted to study the Tesseract, something that was far beyond his capabilities, thinking of using its energy to create powerful weapons, which resulted in an invasion by an alien army.

However, Hawking wasn't afraid. He wasn't Mutants, and those weapons might be used to sneak up on Magneto and Professor X, temporarily turning them into ordinary people.

But hitting him was completely useless.

Even if you bring that Mutants child to his side, it probably won't make much of a difference.

According to him, the Mutants child's ability shouldn't just be to suppress Mutants superpowers, but rather to suppress all energy within a few meters of him.

Because not only Mutants, but even Juggernaut, whose power comes from the Dimensional Demon God Cyttorak, loses his abilities when he gets close to the Mutants child.

However, his power system does not belong to this world, so whether it will be restrained in the same way is another matter.

If he could be restrained in the same way, given his physical abilities, he would be beyond the limits of a normal person and could solve the problem at its source in no time.

Moreover, given his strength, the Mutants child couldn't get close to him unless he wanted to.

It's only because Magneto Mutants who has lost his powers and is now much like an ordinary old man, is so afraid.

"Your professor should know very well that he is too indecisive. Once he finds out, he definitely won't agree to launch an attack on S.H.I.E.L.D.. with me first. Instead, he will go to Nick Fury to find out the situation."

By the time Nick Fury realizes this, we've already lost the initiative.

So I want to work with you. We can join forces to take down S.H.I.E.L.D.. first, then tell Charles the whole story. I believe he won't blame you then.

Magneto stared intently at Hawking, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Based on his understanding of Hawking over the years, this guy was far more decisive and ruthless than he appeared on the surface.

In situations like this that endanger the entire Mutants, as well as the safety of himself and his family, he would most likely side with him.

Just like when he killed Stryker, this wasn't the first time Hawking had done something like this—acting first and asking questions later.

"I'll think about it!"

Hawking tapped his fingers on the table but did not reply immediately.

If he really is Mutants, then it's quite possible that he could really pull off this job with Magneto.

Unfortunately, he wasn't, and he always felt that things weren't that simple, because even if there were drugs and weapons that could temporarily suppress Mutants abilities, he felt that Nick Fury, with his brains, wouldn't launch an attack so easily.

Because if things go wrong, it could escalate into a major war between humans and Mutants, and even if we win, the casualties will be devastating.

This is not the outcome Nick Fury wanted.
