While opening up Telekinesis alone is eye-catching, it is not enough to force any party to take risks.
He is not afraid of trouble, but he also doesn't want to be constantly bogged down in trivial matters.
As for concealing it, there's no need for that; Clarice and Yidileisi have already merged, and it will be discovered sooner or later.
If Professor X waits until others discover the truth before questioning him, it would make him seem less than forthright.
Furthermore, in his view, if Professor X mastered Telekinesis, his power would undergo a qualitative change. Many troublesome Mutants matters would no longer require his personal attention.
He added, "In addition, there are several hard limitations to this fusion: for example, people with insufficient genetic tolerance thresholds may only be able to carry one ability;
The actual performance after integration will vary depending on individual differences, and cannot be generalized.
Professor X exclaimed sincerely, "Even so, Vitas, your achievements are enough to shake the entire scientific community."
"To have reached this point in just two or three months, given time, it might truly usher in a completely new era of variants."
"Give every Mutants the opportunity to make up for their weaknesses and acquire multiple abilities..."
He paused slightly, a burning light flashing in his eyes.
You flatter me.
Chen Xiao chuckled and shook his head, his tone sincere. "Without the foundation laid by those previous documents, coupled with a few key opportunities, I couldn't have made such a breakthrough so quickly."
Making all Mutants possess multiple superpowers? That's impossible! If that were done, wouldn't the whole world immediately descend into chaos?
After all, there's no shortage of ambitious people in the world, and Chen Xiao has no time to clean up messes every day. He would never reveal this X-Factor technology, which can integrate multiple abilities, to the public.
Only those he personally approves of are qualified to receive this energy factor.
Clarice's face immediately lit up with a smile when she saw Chen Xiao enter.
Yidileisi, meanwhile, was still cleaning up the mess left by the Arela Group.
The six major gray-market groups in Mexico have almost monopolized more than 90% of the country's underground trading network, and their influence can be seen everywhere in the country's 32 states and nearly 200 cities of all sizes.
Currently, the Bloody Hand Society has firmly controlled 29 cities and five states, with nearly 100,000 members, making it a formidable force.
Of course, 100,000 people in 29 cities is not particularly conspicuous; countless small gangs and factions still secretly entrenched themselves in each city.
More importantly, the expansion was too rapid, and the Bloody Hand Society transformed from a dictatorial structure into a parliamentary system: each city had a leader, and then the seven major families divided the city into districts for management.
Each company has its own specific role: some specialize in casinos and gambling, some control the grain processing chain, some are responsible for cross-border cargo transportation, and others openly operate legitimate businesses such as real estate, logistics, and chain supermarkets.
Ultimately, all matters were settled and decided by Yidileisi Lacey; as for Chen Xiao, he never bothered with these daily chores.
Early in the morning, Chen Xiao and Clarice sat side by side at the dining table in the restaurant, slowly eating their breakfast.
The LCD screen on the wall is broadcasting CBV News.
This channel broadcasts global news twice a day, morning and evening: where New Mutants have emerged and caused trouble, which country has seen Metahuman go out of control and injure people, and even bizarre phenomena occurring frequently in various countries are all included in the report.
At this moment, the screen is focused on a news item related to Mutants.
Good morning, everyone. This is your host, Aili Daisi. Yesterday afternoon, in the Indian Ocean, a cargo ship from the Mutants Republic engaged in a fierce standoff with the naval fleet of the Australia.
"It is believed that the ship was carrying a group of Mutants had left the country without permission, and was therefore intercepted and surrounded by the Australian fleet."
"But the ship is also guarded by elite forces from the Mutants Republic, including Jean Grey, the Phoenix Force, who is hailed as the 'strongest Mutants.'"
Before the words were finished, the background screen suddenly switched: the camera shakiened, and between the sea and sky, warships were arrayed, with a figure standing in mid-air.
Although the image is slightly blurry, it clearly shows Jean Grey hovering hundreds of meters in the air, with a pair of red wings, tens of meters wide, fully unfolded behind her.
Towering waves surged beneath her feet, the gale tore at the air, and the entire sea seemed to tremble.
At that moment, the Australian fleet, consisting of thirteen destroyers, missile ships, and amphibious landing ships, suddenly opened fire!
Machine guns spat fire, and missiles and Rocket roared into the sky, but as soon as all the firepower approached within a hundred meters of her, they exploded with a deafening roar, and the sky was filled with blinding flames.
Amidst the raging flames, the figure in red remained silent as a deity, exuding an overwhelming aura.
The wings of light behind her suddenly blazed brightly, bursting forth with a crimson light that could incinerate everything. Wherever they went, missiles Oblivion, cannonballs disintegrated, and warships twisted, broke apart, and sank one after another in the intense light, creating a horrifying scene.
The screen then suddenly went black, the recording equipment was destroyed on the spot, and the satellite signal was simultaneously interrupted.
The camera cuts back to the studio, where Aili Daisi looks grave. "In this conflict, Australia of thirteen warships and more than four thousand five hundred officers and men killed in action."
"This is the first time since the founding of the Mutants Republic that it has engaged in the highest-intensity confrontation with a sovereign nation, with unprecedented casualties."
Last night, Australia Secretary of State Mosheng held an emergency press conference, vowing to hold the Mutants Republic and the Phoenix Force fully accountable.
However, as of now, no substantive countermeasures have been announced.
" United Nations community quickly issued statements, demanding a formal explanation from Magneto Erik and strongly condemning the Phoenix Force's extreme acts of violence."
Large-scale protests have erupted in many parts of the world since this morning.
The demonstrators chanted slogans against Mutants' abuse of superpowers and indiscriminate killing of innocent people, calling for united international action to completely dismantle the Mutants Republic.
"At the same time, many superheroes around the world have publicly criticized the Phoenix Force for overstepping its bounds in using its power, believing that its actions seriously deviate from the duties of a guardian."
Upon seeing this, Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback, then nodded. This matter was both unexpected and expected.
In the past, Mutants ruled their own territories. Although they were numerous and powerful, in the eyes of those in power, they were nothing more than a group of superhumans who were difficult to categorize, or even just living samples in a laboratory.
However, since Magneto, in just six months, hundreds of thousands of Mutants have gathered under his banner, and many more of his kind, scattered across various regions, are continuously heading towards him.
It's important to understand that these are hundreds of thousands of individuals with innate superpowers. Even if most of them are only moderately strong, their sheer numbers are enough to shake up the landscape.
Leaders of various countries couldn't wait to see it grow too powerful; they had already sensed the threat. This maritime conflict was most likely instigated by someone behind the scenes.
It's important to understand that the Jean Grey of today is not the rampaging Destroyer, but a leader of the X-Men who upholds justice. She would never have unleashed such a bloody storm unless she was driven to the Extremis.
The real purpose is to crucify Mutants on the cross of global opposition.
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes. "It seems that even before Thanos shows up, the great war between humans and Mutants is already imminent. Once this war breaks out, not a single superhuman in the world will escape."
Admittedly, Mutants possess extraordinary abilities, and some are capable of destroying the world, but ordinary people are far from being unarmed.
Leaving aside ultimate means like nuclear weapons, the ancient forces still existing in the world, such as magicians proficient in secret arts, wizarding families with thousands of years of heritage, reclusive extraordinary individuals with mutated bloodlines, and even veteran heroes like Ant-Man, the Hulk, and the Fantastic Four, are not to be underestimated.
Not to mention certain "rule-level" beings that have yet to appear, such as the legendary Sentry, or the Galacta from beyond the stars who devour planets.
The screen had just finished showing the Mutants event when the scene flashed and switched to another scene: a bustling racetrack.
The presenter's voice rang out again. "Yesterday morning, Tony Stark, a well-known America industrialist and billionaire, was suddenly attacked by unidentified assailants while participating in a professional racing championship."
"As seen in the footage: as soon as the starting signal was given, a man dressed in a mechanic's uniform drove straight into the center of the track."
He held two whip-like weapons crackling with blinding arcs of electricity in his hands, easily cleaving a speeding race car in two. Then, Tony's car was also split in two.
If it weren't for Tony's AI assistant delivering his Iron Man Armor at the last second, this notorious "playboy" would probably have lost his life on the track.
According to our verification, the equipment used by the attackers was an exoskeleton system modeled after Iron Man's powered armor, which could allow ordinary people with no prior experience to unleash strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.
The combat prowess displayed by this person subtly reveals a signal: the armor that was once considered top-secret technology is not unreplicable.
Currently, several global defense industry giants have urgently launched " Iron Man Armor " development projects to accelerate the development of independently developed heavy powered armor in response to the escalating Mutants incidents...
" Iron Man 2 was released ahead of schedule?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow.
Clarice, slightly confused, asked from across the table, " Vitas, what 'two'?"
Chen Xiao smiled calmly and said casually, "It's nothing, I just feel that the world is too chaotic lately, even two ' Iron Man ' have appeared."
Despite the turbulent changes in the outside world, Chen Xiao continued to act at his own pace.
Now he no longer needs to fly into the clouds to bask in the sun and absorb energy; he can spend time with Clarice during the day, gradually closing the distance between them.
Occasionally, when Yidiruisi returns to report on her work, the two of them will have a thorough and intense sparring match, exchanging blows with each other, neither giving an inch.
After all, both sides are physically incredibly strong, so their fights are loud and exhausting, often taking up an entire day.
The days slipped by quietly in this rhythm. More than half a month later, the Telekinesis Factor specially customized for Professor X was finally successfully purified.
Since Chen Xiao couldn't deliver it in person, Cyclops, Colossus, and Storm flew over in their Blackbird, demonstrating the importance they placed on it.
When Blackbird returned to Xavier's School, all the X-Men gathered in the professor's office, including the newly joined Havok and Magik.
Clearly, no one wanted to miss Chen Xiao's crucial breakthrough regarding the X-Factor.
