Professor X Goes Dark and Becomes a Vegetable
In a pure white spiritual world.
For the first time, Charles, now corrupted, frowned as he looked at Jiang Li, who showed no fear whatsoever.
As the most powerful Mind Stone master in the universe, he has invaded the consciousness of countless powerful beings. Anyone who is pulled into this mental space by him will reveal their deepest fears.
But the young man before me showed no fear.
His mental world was like an iron fortress locked by high-dimensional code. Charles even felt that he was not invading the brain of a living being, but staring into a bottomless Abyss of the universe.
"Making a mystery out of nothing."
Charles snorted coldly, deciding not to hold back any longer.
He raised his hand, and the pure white space trembled violently. His immense spiritual power transformed into tangible shackles, attempting to forcibly crush Jiang Li's self-awareness.
"You dared to connect to my brain on your own."
Jiang Li looked at the mental shackles that had been imposed upon him, put one hand in his pocket, and didn't even try to dodge.
"Perfect, saves me the trouble of looking for you."
A dark red light suddenly flashed in Jiang Li's eyes.
That was the ultimate code extracted from the core database of DC Apokolips, representing the ultimate control and despair of the Omniverse —the [Anti-Life Equation]!
This is not a contest of mental strength.
This is a system-level virus delivering a devastating blow to the brainwaves of carbon-based organisms!
"Anti-Life."
Jiang Li uttered a single word.
Boom!!!
The pure white mental space was instantly and completely corrupted by endless scarlet code!
Those eerie runes representing mathematics, despair, control, and death, like a burst dam of blood, instantly shattered the mental shackles Charles had erected, and flowed back through the "Mind Stone connection" between the two at a frequency exceeding the speed of light!
"What is this?!"
Charles's previously haughty expression instantly turned pale.
His proud Omega-level mental power, the moment it came into contact with this scarlet code, was like a broken computer without antivirus software encountering a top-tier ransomware virus!
Firewall? Destroyed in an instant!
Underlying logic? Forcibly altered!
"Disconnect! Disconnect immediately!!!"
Charles was terrified and desperately tried to get out of Jiang Li's mind.
But it was too late.
Once the Anti-Life Equation gets through the network cable, it won't stop until it completely burns out the other party's hard drive.
"Come and go as you please?"
Jiang Li's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the blood-red code.
The real world. Earth, deepest part of the X Fortress in North America.
A massive brainwave enhancement chamber.
Charles, dressed in a black suit, sat in the core control chair, wearing a brainwave amplification helmet connected to a global network.
One second he was giving orders.
The next second.
"Ughh...
Charles suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream, like Beast on its deathbed!
His head snapped back, his hands gripping the armrests of the chair so tightly that his fingernails snapped off from the force.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Inside the priceless brainwave enhancement room, all the dashboards simultaneously overloaded and exploded! Sparks flew everywhere!
The thick cables connected to Charles's head melted one after another because they couldn't withstand the violent backflow of data!
"Puff!!!"
Charles's eyes bulged out, and the whites of his eyes turned completely scarlet.
Thick, fresh blood gushed out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth like a faucet turned on!
He convulsed in mid-air for a full ten seconds.
Then.
Everything returned to deathly silence.
Charles's head slumped limply against his chest.
Those eyes, once filled with wisdom and cruelty, were now clouded and murky. Saliva mixed with blood dripped from the corners of his mouth onto the floor.
Omega-level brain was completely burned through by the [Anti-Life Equation].
Brain death.
This Mutants tycoon, who attempted to control a 100,000-strong interstellar army using telepathy, didn't even manage to touch a hair on Jiang Li's head and was instantly reduced to a mentally impaired vegetable.
Outer space, the flagship throne of Viltrum.
Jiang Li slowly opened her eyes.
The invisible psychological pressure that had been looming over the 100,000-strong army vanished instantly.
In the forward array.
The thousand Viltrum, who had been briefly brainwashed, suddenly regained their senses. Covered in cold sweat, they recalled the feeling of losing control of their bodies and felt a wave of fear. At the same time, they felt even more awe for Jiang Li, who was sitting on the throne.
Even with a mental attack of this level, the Overlord could instantly turn the tables and kill it!
"Is this the welcoming ceremony of this universe?"
However.
Jiang Li's reverse brainwashing crippled Charles, which resolved his mental crisis, but it also stirred up a hornet's nest.
Earth, at the deepest part of the fortress.
The commotion caused by the explosion of Charles's brainwave machine instantly alarmed the true supreme ruler of the empire.
The heavy door was torn apart by a violent magnetic force.
An elderly man wearing a red cloak and a purple tactical helmet strode into the enhancement room.
Magneto (Erik Lehnsherr)!
Beside him stood a burly, ashen-skinned giant radiating the aura of an ancient Mutants — Apocalypse!
In this universe, they are not enemies, but instead join forces to establish a totalitarian empire of Mutants have disappeared.
"Charles!"
Magneto's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at Charles, who was slumped in a chair, bleeding from all seven orifices.
He stepped forward, only to find that Charles had completely lost consciousness, his cerebral cortex burned away by some unknown force.
"He's finished." Apocalypse stared coldly at the ceiling. "It was those outsiders in the sky who did it."
"Unforgivable."
Magneto's eyes blazed with fury.
They have ruled this planet for decades, and no one has ever dared to directly destroy the core brain of the Mutant Empire on their own territory!
"Outer-dimensional debris."
Magneto slowly ascended into the air and crashed directly into the dome of the fortress.
"Since you've withstood the mental attack, then let you taste... absolute physical destruction!"
Rumble!!!
Magneto spread his arms.
Omega's peak-level magnetic field control power is unleashed at full power without reservation at this moment!
The Earth's magnetic fields at the North and South Poles emitted a violent groan.
Jiang Li sat on the flagship, looking down at Earth through the screen.
A truly horrifying scene unfolded on the Earth's surface.
Countless abandoned aircraft carrier wrecks! Hundreds of thousands of steel Sentinel! Even vast swathes of earth's crust containing metal veins!
Under Magneto's magnetic pull that reversed Earth's gravity, they all defied the laws of gravity and were lifted off the ground!
Thousands of tons of steel and metal converge in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a terrifying metallic star ring that blotted out the sky and was powerful enough to smash the moon to pieces!
"Die!"
With a roar from Magneto.
That colossal net of destruction, composed of countless metal rubble, broke through the atmosphere and, with overwhelming kinetic energy, crashed straight into Jiang Li's 100,000-strong army of Viltrum in space!
