We've found you!
Just as the Skrulls were gloating and dreaming of their future, a voice suddenly exploded in their minds.
"Who?"
The group of people shuddered and abruptly sat up from the sofa.
"You were just discussing me, the Great Emperor, and you can't recognize my voice anymore?"
Wenwu's voice rang in their minds once again.
" Xu Wenwu? How could that be!"
Where are you?
Gravik and his group were horrified; a chill ran down their spines, and their hair stood on end.
They hurriedly turned their heads and scanned their surroundings, but they couldn't find a trace of Wenwu anywhere in their sight!
"Guess?"
Wenwu's voice continued, his tone full of mockery.
"You... you directly invaded our consciousness?"
Gravik belatedly realized that the voice was ringing in their minds.
"Not completely stupid. Now, you'll put on a good show for the whole world."
As soon as Wenwu finished speaking, Gravik, along with dozens of Skrulls in the base, had their minds and consciousness taken over by him.
They began their performance according to the script prepared in advance by Wenwu. Their expressions and lines were realistic and natural, showing no signs of manipulation.
The entire performance had already been recorded by the Pym robot, which had appeared at the base at some unknown time.
The acting didn't end there. Wenwu then deeply manipulated their consciousness, rewriting the memories of these Skrulls according to the script.
After making all the arrangements, he ordered the Ghost Task Force to raid the underground base, capture all the Skrulls, rescue the human prisoners whose identities had been replaced by the Skrulls, and bring them all back to the Ten Rings Empire.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in a flash.
The fighting on the Sokovia front is becoming increasingly fierce.
Despite having ten times the manpower and equipment of the Ten Rings Empire, the NATO allies were consistently suppressed by the Ten Rings forces.
Even the Vibranium fighters deployed by Wakanda have been shot down in large numbers, NATO forces extremely frustrated.
But the NATO coalition forces still refused to give up, continuously sending weapons and soldiers to the front lines.
The United States could no longer hold back and deployed its Second-Generation Sentry Robot, which had already completed mass production, to the battlefield.
Five hundred Second-Generation Sentry Robot were deployed to the front lines!
They are pre-programmed and locked with the superpower templates of X-Men, including reserve members, and a large number of Mutants, and can freely switch between corresponding abilities in battle, making them both bizarre and powerful.
Their appearance shocked the entire battlefield, and footage of their battle quickly spread throughout the world.
No one expected that the United States would create such a terrifying weapon.
But Mutants around the world, including the X-Men, felt a chill run down their spines after witnessing the Second-Generation Sentry's combat prowess, as if they were facing their natural enemy.
Beast Hank immediately set off to investigate the details of the Second-Generation Sentry Robot, wanting to find out why they were able to replicate the abilities of Mutants.
However, the military claimed it was just a simulation and did not reveal any further information.
While the Second-Generation Sentry are formidable, the individual special operations forces within the Iron Legion of the Ten Rings should not be underestimated.
The Ten Rings Legion currently includes special operations units with individual powered armor and high-level individual combat armor units.
The former consists of ordinary special operations forces. The latter are all high-level armored special operations teams, whose armor is no weaker than Tony's Mark Series of self-wearing armor!
Furthermore, the soldiers who pilot them are all mid-level human enhancement experts, each with formidable combat power, totaling ten thousand!
In addition, there are Mountain-Subduing Mecha Division, who possess heavy land-based mechs with overwhelming firepower, capable of crushing and attacking enemies head-on.
In this battle, 500 high-level individual combat armored soldiers were deployed, and they steadily withstood the attack of 500 Second-Generation Sentry Robot from the United States.
This scene once again sent chills down the spines of people worldwide.
Everyone originally thought the Second-Generation Sentry were already incredibly powerful, but they never expected that the Ten Rings would also have such a formidable special forces unit.
Tony, far away in Los Angeles, watched the scene on the screen where a large number of warriors from the Ten Rings, clad in powerful armor, were fighting, a burning envy flashing in his eyes.
This is the Iron Legion he envisioned.
However, he is now restricted from privately mass-producing armored legions, and his heart is filled with resentment.
If it weren't for the incident Ultron, he would have had a formidable Iron Legion.
Tony also noticed the Second-Generation Sentry's unique mechanism of switching superpowers at will, and felt that it was similar to the characteristics of the Symbiote Armor he was wearing.
However, as he looked at it, a strong sense of unease welled up inside him.
In his view, if such a robot were to go out of control, the threat it would pose could even exceed that of Ultron.
With this concern in mind, Tony accelerated the upgrading of his armor, preparing for potential future crises.
Xavier Institute
" Hank, have you found out the specific capabilities of the Second-Generation Sentry Robot?"
As soon as Hank returned to the academy, a group of X-Men immediately surrounded him and asked him questions.
"Not yet, but it's certain that the Sentinels have extracted or simulated our Mutants genes."
Hank shook his head slightly, his expression grave.
" The Sentry was originally a weapon specifically developed to counter us, but I never expected them to complete the second-generation iteration so quietly!"
Storm's expression darkened.
"The way they switch abilities is very similar to my shapeshifting ability. They've probably been experimenting with my genes and using the results on the Sentry."
A beautiful woman spoke.
She is Mystique, who has now regained her shapeshifting abilities with Hank's help and serves as a mentor at Xavier Institute Sun.
"Now these Sentry can replicate the abilities of most of us. We've lost our value to the military, and they're likely to revert to their old ways of treating Mutants."
"That's what Colossus said in a deep voice."
"So what should we do? Just stand here and wait, doing nothing? Just seeing the Second-Generation Sentry makes me panic."
The Shadowcat looked worried.
"Since the emergence of the Inhumans, the situation of us Mutants in the United States has been declining. Even ordinary Inhumans civilians enjoy better treatment than we do."
The Angel's tone was filled with resentment.
"That's right. In order to win over Inhumans, the United States has carved out autonomous territories, built exclusive cities, and given them various preferential privileges. On the other hand, we Mutants are still crammed into cramped communities, the promised benefits are being secretly reduced, and some people are even restricted from leaving the country."
Colossus could not hide his dissatisfaction.
Everyone fell silent. After the appearance of the Inhumans, they became extremely close to their partner, the United States.
The United States ' attitude towards Mutants has clearly turned indifferent, a shift that everyone can feel.
" Hank, how about we just head to the Ten Rings? I've heard that while there aren't many special privileges there, Mutants live a very stable life."
Mystique made the suggestion.
"But we've been working for the United States for a long time, and they might not be willing to trust us."
Storm shook her head.
"Let's wait and see how things develop, but we must prepare for the worst."
Hank finally made up his mind.
"That's the only way."
They all nodded in agreement.
