Brotherhood of Mutants
Danger Room.
After Beast Hank healed Senator Robert Kelly, Senator Kelly finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.
Storm secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This congressman was the mastermind behind the Mutant Registration Act, the white glove pushed to the forefront by General William Stryker.
If he could trust the X-Men, maybe even the Mutant Registration Act could be easily solved!
Publicly disclose their identities, addresses, and abilities to establish a variant community.
This policy is nothing short of Nazis!
However.
Before they could even get excited, footsteps sounded, and the two looked up abruptly to see the Mystic Arts Mage, 'Chen Ji,' who had returned.
"List?"
Why are you back?
"Are you worried about the twins' situation?"
Storm frowned.
Chen Ji didn't answer, but instead looked at Hank, "Hank, I still think that placing the Mutant Activator in the X Academy might be dangerous. The Brotherhood of Mutants might steal this device!"
"So... handing it over to me is the best option."
Mystique, using her mutant powers, impersonated Chen Ji, mimicking his manner of speaking flawlessly!
Even Beast Hank and Storm didn't immediately notice anything amiss.
Especially after hearing about the Brotherhood of Mutants, a serious look appeared on their faces.
Magneto...
Rogue has been kidnapped!
Who knows what extreme things he might do?
Professor X is planning to use Cerebro to investigate Rogue's whereabouts!
Although the two had some suspicions about Chen Ji's return at this time, they did not doubt him too much.
Beast Hank also handed the Mutant Activator to Mystique, his expression extremely serious as he hurriedly said.
"List."
"Protect the Mutant Activator."
"We'll bring it to the X Academy after the Mutant Registration Act issue is resolved."
Beast Hank, with his exceptionally sharp mind, also realized the seriousness of the problem.
However.
Even the wisest person can make a mistake.
He did not doubt Chen Ji's identity.
Who would have thought that Mystique had been watching all along with a cold, indifferent attitude?!
"One of the Smartest People on Earth... and that's it?"
"Such inconsistent behavior, isn't there any suspicion at all?"
Chen Ji, positioned in the Mirror Dimension, secretly complained.
But...
He thought about it.
Instead of showing up immediately, he wanted to find out the location of the Brotherhood of Mutants, so he simply imprisoned Magneto in Kamar-Taj!
"Hank."
"Don't worry, I will."
A flicker of joy crossed Mystique's eyes.
He hurriedly took the Mutant Activator and headed towards the elevator, his figure gradually disappearing.
At this time.
Beast Hank and Storm finally realized what was happening, exchanged a glance, and immediately sensed that something was wrong!
"List..."
"Normally you leave through a portal, but he's going to take the stairs?"
"Hank!"
"Could it be that Chen, who has appeared before us..."
Storm was startled.
When she ran out to stop Mystique, she discovered that Mystique had vanished without a trace!
Beast Hank stood to the side, his face filled with deep regret, utterly ashamed!
"Raven!"
"It must be Raven impersonating Chen!"
Storm's emotions surged, her eyes turned white, and thunder rumbled in the sky as she felt immense rage!
This incident also immediately alerted the other X-Men.
Even Professor X sensed what was happening outside.
However.
When he put on the Cerebro in an attempt to find Mystique, he suddenly showed a look of pain and collapsed to the ground!
Phoenix quickly helped Professor X up.
That's when they discovered that the Cerebro had been implanted with neurotoxins!
Due to the urgency of the situation, no one had checked beforehand, which led to Professor X falling into a deep coma and temporarily losing consciousness.
Certainly.
This neurotoxin is not life-threatening.
At most, it will prevent Professor X from interfering with Magneto's plans for a period of time.
Mystique and Professor X knew each other since childhood, but due to their differing ideologies, they joined opposing sides, yet neither intended to harm the other.
But Chen Ji saw all of this and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Find Raven first."
"We must never allow Magneto's Mutant Conversion Device to reach the Mastermind of the global summit."
"This could trigger World War III..."
Chen Ji's figure blurred, and the Cloak of Levitation on his back lifted him into the air, transforming into a streak of light that closely followed Mystique.
I almost lost them several times.
Fortunately Sling Ring has a tracking function.
Soon, the two walked further and further away, until they arrived deep in a mountain.
This area is sparsely populated and covered with primeval forests.
The sheer cliffs rise thousands of feet high, right next to the coastline.
The sound of waves crashing can be heard frequently.
There is a small, isolated island ahead.
Mystique boarded the speedboat and transformed back into her original form, with deep blue skin and short, orange-red hair clinging to her scalp. She placed the Mutant Activator in an empty slot and carefully set it in place.
They immediately maneuvered the speedboat and slowly headed towards the island's harbor.
She originally intended to investigate the whereabouts of Congressman Robert Kelly.
Once the power of the Mutant Activator was discovered, the plan was immediately changed, and Congressman Robert Kelly was no longer important.
However, the Mutant Activator can rewrite the course of history and bring about the mutant era as soon as possible!
"Raven."
"You haven't found His Excellency the Congressman?"
"This weapon was found at the X Academy?"
A cold, authoritative voice, full of old-fashioned arrogance, rang out.
In a dark cave.
Suddenly, a tall figure wearing a steel helmet and Cloak stepped out.
His hair was completely white, but he was quite robust and stood tall and strong.
He exuded the aura of a king who had long held a high position!
He was about the same age as Professor X, but looked more fierce, with an arrogant look in his eyes. He coldly glanced at the Mutant Activator, his words full of arrogance.
"Tsk."
"So there really is such a thing as an aura of dominance."
Chen Ji sighed inwardly.
Magneto!
He is an extremist among Mutant.
They believe that Mutant are supreme.
They should replace humanity and overthrow human tyranny!
His ideology is completely opposite to Professor X's, but it has attracted a group of Mutant who hate those in power.
His mutant abilities are also at a god-like level!
[Name]: Eric Lehnsherr
[Identity]: Magneto
[Entry]: Extremely cunning (green), strongman demeanor (blue), Metal Nemesis (purple), Magnetic Field Control (purple).
[Deeply cunning] (Green): He was born in the era of Nazis rule and crawled out of piles of corpses in concentration camps. This humiliating and tragic experience made him not to trust anyone easily, and he would fight for his ideals for the rest of his life.
[Strong Demeanor] (Blue): Once God-Level Mutant, his physical abilities have declined due to the ravages of time, but his past achievements still instill fear in the military and chill the entire world.
[Metal Nemesis] (Purple): All weapons made of metal are under his control, and he can also change the shape of metal products at will. No metal weapon can get close to him.
[Magnetic Field Control] (Purple): He can control any form of natural magnetic field, and can also break free from the constraints of gravity to fly through the air. By enveloping himself in a magnetic field, he can also isolate himself from attacks by matter and energy.
"Huh?"
"Two Purple Entry?"
"Omega-Level variant ability should be at the level of Red Entry ability, right?"
"It seems..."
"Time truly waits for no one."
"The quality of his and Professor X's entries was likely affected by their age."
Chen Ji thought to himself.
The X-Men members are in their prime, and even Beast Hank, Mystique Wolverine Logan slow down aging.
Professor X and Magneto, however, did not possess this talent; in their youth, their stats would likely have been of red quality!
Chen Ji secretly rejoiced.
If he hadn't obtained the Black King's power, he probably would have needed to secretly perform the Immortality Ritual of the Book of Cagliostro.
Time...
That's so heartless!
Meanwhile.
Mystique also told Magneto everything she had seen and heard at the X Academy of the Rising Sun, including the appearance of Senator Robert Kelly and the Mystery of the Infinity Stones!
Magneto's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Power Stone? Mutant Activator?"
"Logan ..."
"Secondary Mutation was actually achieved, and Hank even successfully intervened in the awakening of the X-Factor?"
"You even managed to get your hands on this device, Raven. You really are my invaluable helper."
Magneto smiled.
Immediately, he twitched his fingertip slightly, only to find that the Mutant Activator did not move at all.
It's not made of metal?
What is this substance?
Magneto was astonished.
He approached Raven, looked at the Mutant Activator, and tapped the gun's material with his fingertips, only then discovering the Mystery of biometal.
Neither gold nor stone!
Yet it possesses the hardness of metal!
No wonder it could withstand the fluctuations of the Power Stone!
With the Power Stone, his Mutant Conversion Device no longer needed Rogue; the two were simply combined.
They could turn all the world's Mastermind into Mutant without lifting a finger!
When global Mastermind become Mutant, they will also re-examine the Mutant Registration Act from Mutant's perspective.
As for...
What consequences this will have is none of his business.
"Raven."
"You and I are about to usher in an unprecedented era of mutation!"
"Pity."
"Charles will never understand the worst aspects of human nature!"
Magneto's gaze was complex.
He and Professor X were both enemies and friends, admiring each other while hating each other.
However.
Due to differences in their birth backgrounds and upbringing, they still went to different extremes.
Charles Xavier, the only son of the Xavier Family, was born into immense wealth.
Magneto, on the other hand, was imprisoned in a concentration camp as a child and witnessed his mother's death!
How can anyone trust humans?
The actions of the Sentinel Special Operations and William Stryker proved that he was right!
"Eric."
"Regardless of right or wrong, you shouldn't take what doesn't belong to you."
A slightly mocking laugh rang out.
"Who?"
Raven and Magneto immediately perked up their ears and scanned the area, but found no one there, and a sense of vigilance welled up in their hearts.
Especially Raven...
She knew whose voice it was!
The Mystic Arts Mage from Kamar-Taj...
List!
Didn't the Mystic Arts Mage leave?
Could it be...?
He's been tracking me all along?
Mystique's beautiful eyes widened.
The next second.
Then a Mystic Portal appeared out of thin air, and sparks of magic drifted out.
The Mystic Arts Mage, cloaked in Cloak of Levitation, glided through the air, a playful look on his face, and landed in front of the two.
"Raven."
"Your observation skills are truly remarkable; you imitated me so perfectly."
"But the energy activation device seems to belong to me."
Chen Ji curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
He paid no attention to the complicated expression on Mystique; he was at the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Mutants!
"You are the Mystic Arts Mage... Chen?"
"This is the Brotherhood of Mutants."
You've come to the wrong place.
"Victor."
Magneto has sharp eyes.
Although he roughly knew the power of the Mystic Arts Mage, he showed no emotional fluctuation, now that he had the Mutant Activator in hand.
Then he won't hand it over easily!
Even if the X-Men appeared, he wouldn't back down!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever!
He is determined to make Mutant stand at the top of the world!
"Roar!"
A fierce and savage roar suddenly resounded!
From the shadowy corner, a burly, powerful, and savage figure suddenly leaped out, his fangs sharp and his fingers menacing!
A whooshing sound suddenly arose from nowhere!
In an instant, it raised its sharp claws, about to grab Chen Ji's throat!
[Name]: Victor Creed
[Identity]: Sabretooth
[Entry]: Simple-minded (white), Beast-like senses (blue), Super Regeneration (blue), Ruthless killer (blue).
[Simple-minded] (White): As Logan's half-brother, he is extremely physically strong, but for unknown reasons, he has lost all his memories, causing his thoughts to often short-circuit.
[Beast Senses] (Blue): His perception and insight are superior to Wolverine's Logan every way. His fangs and claws are incredibly sharp, making him a true humanoid beast.
[Super Regeneration] (Blue): He possesses a self-healing factor that Super Regeneration. No matter what form of attack he suffers, he can recover in a very short time, and his physical functions are always at their peak.
[Murderous] (Blue): He has participated in various wars and been tempered by blood and fire. His physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. He is proficient in almost all the fighting techniques in the world. All his attacks are only for taking lives.
"Tsk."
Do your thoughts often short-circuit?
"What exactly caused the Sabretooth to go mad?"
