Chapter 929: Preventing World War 3? Professor X is kidnapped

"Do you know what you are doing?" Charles said anxiously, "If you choose to help Apocalypse, the existence of mutants will be completely exposed to the world."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with this." Eric disagreed, "Mutants are born different, this is a gift given by God to very few people.

Even if we cannot be superior, we should at least enjoy some privileges. Even if we don’t have any privileges, we should at least be treated fairly!

But what is the reality? The word fairness is too luxurious for mutants. Even survival requires desperate pursuit. "

"Things are getting better, the world is getting better, you should be more patient."

"Wake up, Charles." Eric said tiredly, "Prejudice has always existed. They are afraid of us, hate us, and envy us.

The school you founded is just a false peace to deceive yourself. When they are able to deal with you, you and your students will be their targets for killing.

Do not erupt in silence, but perish in silence.

I'm tired of hiding in the dark like a rat, and Apocalypse is just the voice of mutants for the world."

"Apocalypse will not succeed. SHIELD found three stone tablets in Cairo, one of which contains the prophecy of Apocalypse's escape. His ambition will not succeed."

"What prophecy stele?" Eric asked with a frown.

"I'm just telling you that you shouldn't help him. You'll become the target of public criticism."

"Haha! Charles, do you think I care about this?

What do I have to lose?

Hearing this, Charles couldn't help but fall into silence, speechless.

Eric has nothing now, so he does things without any scruples.

"As for the prophecy..." Eric sneered, "It would be great if Apocalypse could succeed. If he fails, it won't affect my plan."

"Your...plan?" Charles paused and subconsciously explored Eric's memory.

Eric's expression changed slightly, and he realized that he seemed to have said too much. He immediately put on the helmet to block Charles' telepathy.

At this moment, Apocalypse seemed to sense something, and looked at Eric with a dim gaze, while his mental power was directed directly at Charles Xavier who was thousands of miles away.

His powerful psychic abilities entered Eric's mind and connected with Charles.

"Hank." Charles swallowed, "He's not alone. Apocalypse is right next to him. He found me."

"Wonderful, so wonderful." For the first time, Tianqi's tone showed amazement.

"What did you see?" the angel asked curiously.

"The answer I've been looking for."

As the words fell, he began to invade Charles' mind.

Inside the laboratory, the data from the brain wave amplifier increased rapidly, emitting a buzzing alarm.

“Quick, turn it off, Hank.

No, destroy it, destroy the brainwave amplifier, quickly."

Hank immediately debugged the data of the main brain and tried to disconnect the link, but he was still a step too late. Apocalypse and Charles' minds were already connected.

As Charles' consciousness was falling, he suddenly saw a scene exactly the same as the one in Qin's dream. It seemed that the end of the world would fall on Apocalypse.

"Oh my god!"

"Thank you for letting me in." Apocalypse's pupils turned gray and completely controlled Charles' brain, feeling his mutant abilities.

Hank intuitively saw that the surrounding red universe was covered with patches of deep purple, and this purple was eroding and devouring the red universe at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I have never felt such power." Charles' mouth curled up high, and his pupils were completely occupied by darkness.

Hank frantically operated the out-of-control brainwave amplifier, but to no avail.

On the other side, Apocalypse closed his eyes and used Charles' psychic ability to find humanity's greatest reliance.

Nuclear submarines, military bases, sky carriers, etc. appeared before his eyes almost undefended.

“Humans are the same as they always have been, and now they have this.”

"No more stone tools, no more spears, no more slings, no more swords, no more weapons, no more order... no more."

"There is no need for so-called super powers."

As he spoke, he controlled all the people in the world who knew the nuclear weapons codes, preparing to destroy mankind's most powerful weapon in one fell swoop.

Noisy!

"what!"

In desperation, Hank transformed into a blue-haired beast, smashed the main brain with one punch, and forcibly removed Charles' helmet.

The intense pain of nerve rupture brought Charles back to consciousness and severed his connection with Apocalypse.

“Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!” Charles was sweating profusely and breathing rapidly. “That was a close call. Just a little bit, just a little bit.”

"What the hell happened, Charles?"

"Nuclear bombs. Tianqi is going to launch all the nuclear weapons in the world to make humans lose the confidence to resist."

"Watfa! Is he crazy?"

"No, he's not crazy, he's perfectly sane.

He wants humans to become toothless tigers, so that he will face much less resistance when he wants to re-establish order."

"But if this happens, all humans will regard mutants as enemies, there will be no possibility of reconciling the conflict, and the war will continue for a long time." Hank cursed indignantly.

Charles can do what Apocalypse can do, but he has never done so because it is no different from directly declaring a war.

Even without nuclear bombs, mutants would have almost no chance of winning against the large numbers of humans who share the same hatred of the enemy.

"Perhaps this is what Apocalypse wanted." Charles said exhaustedly, "Your punch was extremely timely and directly prevented a world war."

"Now is not the time to talk about this!

Tianqi has noticed you, he will come looking for you soon, you have to hide quickly."

"It's too late." Charles took a deep breath, "You should leave here immediately and call the X-Men.

Also, notify the people at S.H.I.E.L.D.

I will try to delay it as much as possible, but everything after that will depend on you, on you all.”

......

“What a pity.” Tianqi slowly opened his eyes and said in a nonchalant tone: “But it doesn’t matter, at least I know he exists.

They can draw their bows and shoot arrows from the top of the Tower of Babel, but they will never be able to hurt God."

“Tell me, child.

Who is that mutant with telepathic powers?"

"Charles Xavier," Eric said calmly, "He is an old friend of mine."

"Very good, he will be my fourth knight."

"Master." Psylocke said hesitantly, "Charles's psychic ability is very strong, but I don't recommend you to subdue him."

"why?"

“Charles’ philosophy is different from yours, he hopes that humans and mutants can coexist peacefully.

That's why I didn't recommend him to you, he won't be loyal to you."

"Peaceful coexistence?" Tianqi showed a trace of contempt at the corner of his mouth, "How ridiculous, you are obviously a god, but you put yourself on the same level as an ant.

If he is willing to repent, I will give him a chance.

If he doesn't want to, then there is no need for him to exist.

But before that, I need him to do something for me."

Hearing this, Eric’s expression changed slightly, “Maybe I can try to convince him.

Charles may be old-fashioned, but he is not hopeless.”

Apocalypse nodded slightly and immediately opened the portal.

A purple portal appeared at the door of the laboratory, and Apocalypse walked out with Psylocke, Angel, and Magneto.

Charles seemed to have anticipated this scene. He was not too nervous. He just looked at Eric with complicated eyes, "It happened so quickly!"

Eric said nothing, reached out to control the wheelchair under Charles, and brought him to his camp.

"The apocalypse is coming, my child."

Apocalypse said as the purple portal opened again, taking the five of them away.

......

As soon as they left, Hank hurriedly summoned Storm Ororo, Cyclops Scott, and Colossus Piotr to the academy and explained the current situation to them.

"The professor was taken away by Apocalypse? And Magneto was involved?" Ororo's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you sure you're not kidding, Hank?"

Hank was so anxious, "Would I joke about something like this?"

"We have to rescue the professor." Piotr said seriously, "This school can't live without him."

"The question is how to save him?" Ororo said in a muffled voice, "We don't even know where the professor was taken."

"SHIELD can help." Hank said with a wry smile, "Culson called earlier and said SHIELD is willing to provide support within its capabilities.

Their intelligence system is the strongest in the world. As long as Apocalypse makes some noise, they can locate his exact location.

And before Charles was captured, he reminded me to notify S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Then notify them quickly!" Piotr said immediately.

"I should wait for you guys to come over first!" Hank took out his cell phone in frustration and called Nick Fury.

"What happened, Professor Hank?"

"The worst thing that could have happened was that Charles was captured by Apocalypse."

"Fuck you!" Nick Fury cursed, then quickly adjusted his attitude, "What do you need SHIELD's help with?"

"I have temporarily assembled the X-Men in the academy, but we need SHIELD's help to locate Charles."

"No problem, I'll let you know as soon as I have any news." Nick Fury agreed straightforwardly, but he was complaining wildly in his heart.

He didn't expect Charles to be so useless. He was caught just after SHIELD reminded him. It would be better for him to die.

If Charles died, Apocalypse would not be able to obtain his mutant powers, and the sword hanging over humanity's head would naturally no longer exist.

But the problem is that Charles cannot die yet. He is a bridge of friendly communication between mutants and humans. If he dies, those mutants who are full of malice towards humans will have no one to check and balance them.

"If possible, I hope SHIELD can send some people to assist us."

"That's no problem." Nick Fury said, "Natasha, Barton and Steve will bring an elite special forces team to help you.

But first of all, it is difficult for ordinary agents to fight against Apocalypse head-on, we can only provide some firepower support at critical moments."

"Thank you!" Hank was obviously relieved. All three Avengers were sent by Nick Fury, which was enough to prove SHIELD's sincerity.

"I am also considering the overall situation."

"I have another unwelcome request." Hank said awkwardly, "If all the X-Men are sent out, there will be no one to protect the School for Gifted Youngsters."

"You don't want us to protect those mutant students, do you?" Nick Fury felt that Hank was going a little too far.

Is protection still protection at this time?

That's called supporting, or backing up. SHIELD has no intention of going that far for the Mutant Academy.

“No, you misunderstand, Chief Fury.

I don't mean to ask SHIELD to protect these students, but I hope you can keep the news secret for the time being and not let other forces know about the situation at the School for Gifted Youngsters."

"That's no problem. We also want to avoid conflicts as much as possible."

"If..." Hank hesitated, "I mean if, if some force really took the opportunity to attack the school and capture mutants, please let SHIELD know when it's over."

Nick Fury nodded thoughtfully, "I see.

But I must remind you that the crux of the matter is Charles Xavier."

"Of course I know. We are going to rescue him now."

Nick Fury raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, "Professor Hank, no, Professor Henry Philip McCoy, you are really very rational.

The government may set up a Mutant Affairs Department in the future. If you are willing, I will recommend you to be the director."

"Let's save Charles first!"

After hanging up the phone, Hank let out a long breath and looked at the three people in front of him solemnly, "Go change into the X-Men uniforms first, then go to the plane and wait."

"Wait, Hank." Scott suddenly interrupted, "We may not be able to defeat Apocalypse just by ourselves."

"Let's give it a try!" Hank said in a deep voice, "If we can't stop the apocalypse, we can only save Charles. We have to rescue him no matter what."

"Hank, you misunderstood. What I meant was..." Scott said awkwardly, "Should we call Jean as well?"

"Hmm? Isn't it...not appropriate for her to do so at this time?"

"One more person means more strength, right?" Scott said reluctantly.

"Your abacus beads are falling on my face." Piotr smacked his lips, "I'm embarrassed to expose you."

“I want to stress that this has nothing to do with personal feelings.

I did this purely for the professor’s safety and for this school.”

"Whatever the reason, what Cyclops said makes some sense." Hank's tone was a little more helpless, but the Phoenix was mentioned in the prophecy, and Jean was the only person in the Mutant Academy who could be related to the Phoenix.

"Notify Qin and tell her what happened."

"Okay, Professor."
