Chapter 859

~6 min read 1,185 words

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

She has her own mutant containment research institute and belongs to the type that is friendly to mutants, otherwise the Professor wouldn't have become friends with her.

In the movie, the Professor was killed by Black Phoenix and had to be resurrected using the body of his vegetative twin brother.

Before that, his vegetative twin brother had been in Dr. Moira MacTaggert's research institute.

The Moira MacTaggert of this timeline doesn't look the same as the Moira MacTaggert of the other timeline, and she got married very early.

Although they are both Moira MacTaggert, Moira MacTaggert and Moira MacTaggert are different; there is no need to force it.

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

Many Omega-level mutant inventories have his figure.

And William Stryker's base computer also has his file records, but there are too many similar file records, and Su Quan didn't pay much attention.

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

That is, spiritual energy!

His spiritual energy allows 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 mutant abilities, and distort physical laws within a certain range.

As a pure psionic creature, he can attach to humans and use them as hosts. For every host, his ability will increase accordingly, and he can attach to multiple people at the same time.

If he doesn't change hosts for a long time, the host will decompose until it disappears.

Using the ability to modify reality will also accelerate the disappearance speed of the host.

He must frequently change 'hosts', which is 'body'.

He also has the ability of telepathy and telepathy immunity, so mind power and other monitoring equipment cannot sense him.

He can also teleport dimensions and travel through different realities.

Can absorb life energy!

These abilities are enough to be worthy of Omega.

But!

He has a very obvious weakness, which is—metal!

Metal can destroy and disperse his energy field.

So as long as you are not possessed by him, can deal with distorted reality, and then use metal, you can defeat him relatively easily.

Of course, this is only theoretical; in reality, it depends on the strength of each person's ability. Magneto can defeat him, which doesn't mean ordinary people using metal can also defeat him.

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

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

At the peak of his ability, the 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 academy, and they didn't have the experience and ability to deal with modifying reality.

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

Fighting Su Quan, he lost.

Fighting Black Phoenix, he also lost.

Now it has become Proteus, well, people are directly immune to mind power, no need to fight at all, can only sit in a wheelchair and stare!

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the academy gate was forcefully rammed open by a roaring black jeep. The fully armed squad rushed in with the car and fired 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 into the ground 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.

"Shoo—"

The deep blue flash light lit up, Nightcrawler appeared in front of everyone, proudly opened his palms, and bullets clattered to the ground.

The bullets were all caught by her.

At the same time, the squad that rushed over 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 mind power to make them fall into a deep sleep.

Can't deal with Proteus, can't deal with these miscellaneous soldiers?

Nightcrawler glanced at the Professor and curled her lips.

The only soldier still standing on the opposite side had no panic on his face, and there was even a faint sneer on 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 at the beginning, you haven't forgotten, right?"

The Professor said in a deep voice: "At the beginning? I was helping you. Only by constantly using metal to disperse your energy field could I stop your body from being decomposed by spiritual energy."

"I was saving you!"

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

"Can't live, can't die. No matter how I begged, she was cruel... no, it was cold-blooded and ruthless, rejected me, and continued to torture me..."

Proteus stared at the Professor coldly with hateful eyes, and said with a crazy expression: "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."

"And 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 is already 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!"
