Mystique Joins

The silver light in White Queen's eyes slowly faded.

"Of course!"

She nodded and pointed at a group of vacant-eyed Mutants slowly walking over.

"These are the Mutants you asked me to pick out, whose crimes were enough to earn them life in prison!"

"Good work!"

Xu Mo praised her, then turned his gaze toward those Mutants.

While he had been dealing with Juggernaut and Magneto, Emma had begun using her psychic abilities to read these Mutants' memories.

The purpose had been to pick out the Mutants who had committed every kind of evil.

For Xu Mo, these Mutants, who were not even Level Three, had only one use: becoming points.

Xu Mo felt no burden whatsoever in killing them.

Several flying knives flashed like lightning through the group of Mutants controlled by Emma.

In less than ten seconds.

Xu Mo had gained over twenty thousand more points.

White Queen began casting the Soul Seal as well.

She glanced at Magneto, who lay unconscious on the ground, and silver light filled her eyes again.

Within two breaths, it grew stronger than ever before.

Once the light reached its peak, a pale blue mark shot from between her brows. It flashed once before sinking into Magneto's forehead.

A moment later, a pattern flickered across his forehead before vanishing again.

At that moment, White Queen slowly opened her eyes.

"It worked?"

"Of course!"

White Queen nodded excitedly.

"This feeling is simply incredible. I can easily sense any of his thoughts and even control every decision he makes!"

"This is completely different from that crude form of control before..."

Xu Mo nodded.

He naturally understood. The control White Queen and Professor X had used before was, simply put, like temporarily possessing someone's body. They had essentially seized control of the other person's body by force.

The control provided by the Soul Seal, however, went deeper, directly controlling the other person's soul.

Magneto would still retain his own consciousness, but he would obey her commands unconditionally. Even if she ordered him to die, he would carry it out without hesitation.

"Then wake him up. It's time for us to leave!"

As he spoke, Xu Mo grabbed one of Magneto's legs and flung him straight into the seawater nearby.

Watching Magneto fall into the water with a splash.

"Actually... I could have woken him up directly!"

White Queen explained softly.

"Really? Well, it seems that isn't necessary now!"

Moments later, Magneto's body floated up from the seawater and slowly descended not far from the two of them. He looked at White Queen and Xu Mo with a complicated expression.

At that moment, all the hatred he had felt toward them had vanished completely.

White Queen glanced at him.

"Eric, go wait for us on the ship!"

"Yes, Master!"

Eric lowered his head in reply, picked up the helmet on the ground, and walked toward the yacht.

After the Soul Seal had been cast, that helmet had become completely useless.

In a sense, the Soul Seal was not only a means of control, but also a form of protection.

White Queen's Soul Seal would also protect Magneto's mind from being invaded by other Telepaths.

After all, this was a secret technique gradually developed and perfected by countless great powers over countless eras.

Xu Mo did not believe anyone in this world could break it.

At the very least, no one on Earth could.

After Magneto entered the cabin, seven or eight figures emerged from the woods in front of them.

These were all Mutants White Queen had selected who were still of some use to them.

Naturally, they included Pyro and Raven, who had previously been locked in the cell.

After sensing Raven inside the building, Emma had once again controlled Pyro and ordered him to bring Raven out.

"I hope you'll keep your promise!"

After saying that to Emma, Raven took the lead and headed toward the yacht.

Xu Mo watched this in surprise.

Emma hurriedly explained.

"Mystique—I'm sure you've heard her name before!"

"Believe me, she'll be very useful to us!"

Xu Mo nodded. Of course he had heard her name.

In his previous life, Mystique had been hailed as the woman men wanted most, without question.

After all, her power allowed her to transform into anyone she wanted.

The benefits of having her around? Those who knew, knew.

Of course, the use White Queen was talking about definitely was not that kind of use.

Xu Mo had mentioned to White Queen before that he planned to establish an organization specifically for hunting down evil people.

Although she did not know why he wanted to do this, White Queen did not care in the slightest. In her eyes, since Xu Mo intended to do it, all she needed to do was carry it out.

And Raven's abilities were perfectly suited for assassination and intelligence gathering.

Thinking of this, Xu Mo asked doubtfully.

"So, what did you promise her?"

White Queen smiled.

"It wasn't anything major. The person she hates most right now is Eric. I merely promised her that every so often, she could torture Eric for an hour, until she had vented her anger!"

Xu Mo froze when he heard that.

Sure enough, Emma had controlled Hellfire for so long; she was no softhearted person.

With the Soul Seal controlling Magneto, there was no need to worry about him betraying them even if he were tortured every day. Letting Raven vent a little would not cost them anything.

"Let's go. Professor X and the others should be arriving soon!"

Xu Mo checked the time and took the lead in boarding the yacht.

White Queen looked back at the island. A glint flashed in her eyes as she erased the memories of the remaining Mutants on the island, then followed Xu Mo onto the yacht.

Less than ten minutes after the yacht left.

A fighter jet slowly landed on the island.

Soon, Professor X and the others stepped down from the jet.

"My God!"

Looking at the corpses of dozens of Mutants in the clearing, Iceman Bobby let out a cry of shock.

"We came too late!"

After closing his eyes and sensing the area for a moment, Professor X spoke.

Given his abilities, even while he was at the Xavier Institute, this small island should have been within the range of his psychic senses.

Yet from beginning to end, he had been unable to sense the consciousness of anyone on the island.

Simply put, in his perception, there had not been a single human being on this island before.

But that was clearly not the case.

Obviously, a Telepath like him had interfered with his senses.

Now that the other party had left, he quickly invaded the minds of the surviving Mutants.

However, just as he had expected, none of them retained even the slightest memory of what had just happened.

Storm looked at how nearly one-third of the island had been destroyed.

"It seems Eric encountered a formidable enemy!"

"I want to know where he is now. I can't wait to teach him a lesson!"

Logan held the plastic gun he had snatched from Beast and walked up to Professor X.

"He isn't on the island now!"

"Eric was probably taken away!"

From the island's current condition, Professor X easily reached that conclusion.
