Chapter 467

A long time ago, she had accompanied the Professor to visit the Professor's good friend, Dr. Moira MacTaggert. Dr. Moira MacTaggert had a mutant son, and after the mutant gene awakened, powerful psychic energy began to decompose his body.

The Professor wanted to help him as he helped himself, but unfortunately, he didn't succeed.

In the end, Dr. Moira MacTaggert could only place him in a secret room in her research institute, trying to research a solution.

Jean Grey remembered that when they came back, the Professor said that if he couldn't stop the psychic energy from decomposing his body, he would become a pure psychic creature.

…

Su Quan knew that this timeline had Moira MacTaggert. Unlike the other timeline, the Moira MacTaggert in this timeline was not a CIA agent, but a doctor of biology.

She had her own mutant containment research institute and belonged to the type that was friendly to mutants; otherwise, the Professor wouldn't have become friends with her.

In the movie, the Professor was killed by the Dark Phoenix and had to be resurrected in the body of his brain-dead twin brother.

Before that, his brain-dead twin brother had always been in Dr. Moira MacTaggert's research institute.

The Dr. Moira MacTaggert in this timeline didn't look the same as the Moira MacTaggert in the other timeline, and she had married early.

Although they were both Moira MacTaggert, Moira MacTaggert and Moira MacTaggert were different, and there was no need to force it.

As for Kevin MacTaggert, which was Proteus, Su Quan also remembered why he had an impression.

He had appeared in many Omega-level mutant inventories.

And there were also file records of him in the computer of William Stryker's base, but there were too many similar file records, and Su Quan didn't pay much attention.

As an Omega-level mutant, Proteus's ability was not just modifying reality. To be precise, his core ability was psychic energy.

That is, psychic energy!

His psychic energy allowed him to distort reality in a certain area around him with his mind, allowing him to convert matter, manipulate weather, control gravity, deprive others of their mutant abilities, and distort physical laws within a certain Detection Range.

As a pure psychic creature, he could attach himself to humans and use them as hosts. For every host he had, his ability would increase accordingly, and he could attach himself to multiple people at the same time.

If he didn't change hosts for a long time, the host would decompose until it disappeared.

Using the ability to modify reality would also accelerate the host's disappearance speed.

He had to change 'hosts', that is, 'bodies', frequently.

He also had telepathy and telepathy immunity, so psychic abilities and other monitoring equipment couldn't sense him.

He could also teleport dimensionally and travel through different realities.

He could absorb life energy!

These abilities above were enough to be worthy of Omega.

However!

He had a very obvious weakness, which was—metal!

Metal could destroy and disperse his energy field.

So as long as you weren't possessed by him, could deal with distorted reality, and then use metal, you could defeat him relatively easily.

Of course, this was only theoretical; in reality, it still depended on the strength of each person's abilities. Magneto could defeat him, but that didn't mean ordinary people using metal could defeat him.

Similarly, the current Proteus could only modify reality within his line of sight.

And in the comics, he modified reality within the Detection Range of a small town, giving everyone in the town the ability to make fantasies come true.

At the peak of his ability, the Detection Range of his reality modification was the entire universe, directly reshaping the universe!

Su Quan's thoughts seemed long, but in reality, only a moment had passed.

Although the Professor and the others knew Proteus's identity, they didn't know the reason and purpose of his attack on the school, and they didn't have the experience and ability to deal with modifying reality.

The Professor, one of the leaders of the mutants, was very hurt. He didn't know when his powerful and invincible psychic ability had become more and more useless.

Fighting Su Quan, he lost.

Fighting the Dark Phoenix, he also lost.

Now it became Proteus, well, the other party was directly immune to psychic ability, and there was no need to fight at all; he could only sit in the wheelchair and stare blankly!

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the school gate was forcefully rammed open by a roaring black jeep. The fully armed squad rushed in with the car and started shooting at the direction of the Professor and the others from afar.

"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—"

The gunfire was deafening, and dense bullets poured in.

Colossus instantly turned into steel, blocking in front of the Professor. Pyro and Iceman were each ready, and Shadowcat was ready to dive underground at any time…

Storm and Jean Grey were on the left and right, preparing to attack.

Petra put her hands down, preparing to pull up the ground to block the bullets.

"Whoosh—"

A bright blue flash of light lit up, and Nightcrawler appeared in front of everyone, opening his palms triumphantly, and bullets fell to the ground with a clatter.

The bullets were all caught by her.

At the same time, the squad that rushed over quickly fell to the ground in unison and fainted.

This wasn't done by Nightcrawler, but by the Professor, who was unwilling to be a supporting role, using his psychic ability to make them fall into a deep sleep.

If he couldn't deal with Proteus, couldn't he deal with these miscellaneous soldiers?

Nightcrawler glanced at the Professor and curled her lips.

The only soldier on the opposite side who was still standing had no panic on his face, and there was even a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Kevin, what do you want to do?" The Professor came out from behind Colossus and asked with a frown.

Proteus sneered and said mockingly: "I didn't expect to be recognized so quickly. How did you recognize me?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore. I didn't intend to hide my identity anyway."

"Charles Xavier, Professor X… hehe, you know what I want to do! How you treated me back then, you haven't forgotten, right?"

The Professor said in a deep voice: "Back then? I was helping you. Only by constantly using metal to disperse your energy field could I prevent your body from being decomposed by psychic energy."

"I was saving you!"

"Saving me? You and she trapped me in the experimental cabin, constantly suffering torture. Do you know how painful that is?"

"I couldn't live, and I couldn't die. No matter how I begged, she heartlessly… no, it was cold-bloodedly and ruthlessly refused me and continued to torture me…"

Proteus stared coldly at the Professor with hateful eyes, his expression crazy as he said: "I swore that as long as I could leave that damn experimental cabin, I would definitely kill you!"

"Now, it's your turn."

The Professor's face changed drastically, and he asked in disbelief: "You, what do you mean? Moira, she… she…"

"She has already paid the price for her sins." Proteus said coldly: "Just a few days ago, the research institute had an accidental power outage. I seized the opportunity to completely abandon my body and escaped from hell."

"Then… I killed her!"

"No!!!"

The Professor cried out sadly: "You shouldn't have done that. She is your mother!!! She was just helping you! She was just… trying to find a way to save you!"

Proteus was dismissive: "Saving me with torture? Hmph, if torture is also salvation, I will save you well!"

"Your mind has been disordered, and you can no longer distinguish what is good and what is bad, Kevin… You will regret it. Don't let yourself make mistakes again and again!"
