#617 - Supporting the younger generation

Just as a creature's flesh can be disguised to fool the eyes, one can also hide in the unseen and intangible realm of the spirit.

Of course, just as some people have keen eyes and can see through disguises, if the seeker's mental power is stronger than the hider's, hiding is basically impossible.

But the situation is exactly the opposite at this moment. Yang Le, who has transformed into a Martian Manhunter, clearly has mental abilities that surpass Onslaught's.

Even with enhancements, the latter can only cover half the Earth with his mental power, while Yang Le can easily cover the entire Earth and even use his mental abilities to detect conditions on the Moon from Earth.

The two are clearly not on the same level in terms of mental power. Unless Yang Le is willing, Onslaught will never be able to find him in this lifetime.

So why is Yang Le still here? Clearly, he has something in mind. What is it? It's Magneto, who has come to retrieve Hyperion.

Of course, it's definitely inappropriate to call him Magneto right now. With the obvious characteristic of Magneto and Professor X being merged into one, Yang Le recognized who he was at a glance.

The merged mutant Onslaught is quite a famous name. In the comics, Onslaught even led a major event and pulled Franklin Richards down from his pedestal.

This wasn't because Onslaught's own strength was greater than Franklin's. Although Franklin Richards hasn't had many impressive performances, his strength is actually one of the more stable assets among Marvel characters.

Of course, it's likely that he hasn't appeared as much, which is why he's remained valuable. The most typical examples are the Beyonders and Molecule Man, who have been brought out and used several times in recent years, and both have depreciated to rock bottom.

The reason Onslaught was able to defeat Franklin Richards was because he had an extremely powerful new ability: mutant ability absorption. No matter how strong you are, as long as you're a mutant and within a suitable distance, Onslaught can unconditionally absorb your superpowers.

It just so happened that the kid Franklin Richards considered himself a mutant, which led to him being countered by attributes, and a wave of quadruple damage took him down directly.

And although Onslaught's own abilities of Magneto plus Professor X are strong, they're not enough to sustain a major event. It was thanks to Franklin Richards' timely help that the Onslaught event occurred.

Now, in Universe 9527, Franklin Richards hasn't even been born yet. His parents haven't even fully hooked up, so the current Onslaught can't be considered a very powerful BOSS.

But that's for the main universe. For Universe 9527, where superheroes are in short supply, this mediocre Onslaught is still very suitable as a BOSS.

But seeing Onslaught's cautious appearance, Yang Le felt a little puzzled. Why does this guy look like such a coward? He doesn't have the arrogance of the main universe's Onslaught at all. He doesn't have a trace of the domineering aura he had in the comics.

What Yang Le doesn't know is that Onslaught has been sleeping since he was born. During that time, the spirit hosting this body was still Magneto's, but he completely woke up not long ago and stepped onto the stage.

Unexpectedly, just after coming out to stretch his legs, he happened to encounter the New York incident and OBA came out to cause trouble. OBA isn't as particular as Eternity and other righteous gods. He doesn't bother with restraint to avoid causing a stir when he appears.

OBA is here to destroy the world, so naturally, the more high-profile, the better. So Onslaught, who was sent to probe the situation in New York with his mental power, happened to see OBA's energy erupt.

To put it bluntly, it's fortunate that Onslaught is a mental entity. If he were a real person, he would have been scared into wetting his pants. That's the opposite of TOAA, the creator of the Marvel universe, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the strongest being below the creator.

The newly born Onslaught is just a small shrimp in front of him. Even if he were really scared into wetting his pants, he could use it as a bragging right, after all, he wasn't directly scared to death.

In addition, the subsequent detonation of Sentry's bomb, Marvel's number one superhero, these successive combinations of punches directly weakened Onslaught. The world-shaking wisdom in his brain wasn't even world-shaking, let alone wisdom.

He immediately shrank back and hid on Mutant Island, afraid to go anywhere. If Hyperion hadn't found him and stirred his thoughts, Onslaught might have stayed in his窝 for another year and a half.

Even now that he's risen again, Onslaught doesn't dare to make a big fuss. He only dares to do some small tricks in the dark. However, these cautious actions have become cowardice in the eyes of Yang Le, who is used to seeing big scenes.

But it's good to be a little cowardly, so the superheroes have some time to develop. Otherwise, the abilities of Magneto and Professor X alone would be enough for these rookies to drink a pot of it.

Perhaps it's time to accelerate the growth of the heroes, Yang Le thought in his heart.

Now, the heroes on the surface of Universe 9527 are only the Squadron Supreme and some street heroes. None of them can handle things. This can't even be described as a shortage of talent.

On the other hand, Yang Le's hometown is a bit interesting. His hometown is as peaceful as ever. There's no trouble that requires superheroes. Even if supernatural things happen, the S.H.I.E.L.D. can nip them in the bud.

But even so, some superheroes have emerged. Among them, the most representative are a young man named Lin Lie and a girl codenamed Whirlwind.

These two can be considered representatives of the new generation of heroes. Yang Le also has some understanding of them. It seems that they are a collaborative comic created by Marvel and NetEase in reality. Although it belongs to the Marvel worldview, the plot design and other aspects are handled by the local team.

This makes them more like Chinese people than those with queues. In Yang Le's view, they are at least a hundred times better than that Marvel superhero called Monkey King.

I wonder if this universe has this Monkey King. If it does, then beat him up when I encounter him.

Thinking of the two juniors in his hometown, Yang Le had the idea of supporting the juniors. Although he is not much older than them, there is an old Chinese saying that those who have achieved are teachers, and he is indeed qualified to guide them.

But guiding superheroes is accompanied by danger. The dangers that superheroes encounter can basically change the environment, and at the very least, walls collapse and houses collapse. Yang Le feels sorry for the infrastructure construction in his hometown.

Alas! Wouldn't it be okay to bring them here?

It just so happens that in the Marvel worldview, the core of the universe is the Earth, and the core of the Earth is the United States. Here, they can get better trials. This is not Yang Le having crooked thoughts.

But how to get the two of them to the United States is a problem. Who would move abroad for no reason? And come to the United States, where freedom means even firecrackers run into the campus, isn't that asking for trouble?

Perhaps, Yang Le can contact the S.H.I.E.L.D. and let them think of a way.
