Chapter 699: Wanda's Choice, The War of Mutants

"Sister, you don't need to say any more, I'm not going."

On the sofa, Pietro was eating potato chips, drinking Happy Water, and watching Tom and Jerry, acting like a total shut-in.

Wanda watched this scene, her forehead covered in black lines; at this rate, she feared her younger brother would become a couch potato and might not even be able to run in the future.

"Pietro, even if you don't go, you can't just stay at home all the time. You are an adult now, you need to act like one," Wanda said.

"No, sister. We are siblings, we promised to be together forever. Unless you go to that academy thing too," Pietro retorted stubbornly.

"Besides, isn't it great for me to be at home? Whatever the house is missing, I just go and restock it; there's no need to worry about life at all."

Pietro possessed Super Speed; to him, ordinary people were like they had hit the pause button—everything was just too slow, far too slow.

If he weren't her own brother, Wanda would have wanted to smack her disobedient brother, but blood is thicker than water, making it hard for her to take action.

Just at this moment, the doorbell rang again.

Wanda moved her mind and already knew who was outside; unsurprisingly, it was still Professor X from the X-Men Academy along with some students from the academy.

"I'll get the door!"

With a flash, Pietro moved, and the apartment door was already open; facing him was an elderly bald man in a suit sitting in a wheelchair, looking kind yet serious.

Beside him was a cold young man wearing sunglasses, a white-haired lady, a mature beauty in a red dress, and a young, cute girl.

Because time was stopped, these people were static images in Pietro's eyes, allowing him to take a good look at the people from the academy.

Having never really had any friends, he actually hoped in his heart to have some female friends.

Of course, the standard for these female friends was at least on the level of his sister, Wanda.

Storm, Jean, and Kitty Pryde, three women of different ages and temperaments, made Pietro feel as if he were seeing a bright spring, and he couldn't help but be attracted.

Especially Kitty Pryde, who was around his age; Pietro thought this girl was too cute.

Jean possessed the Phoenix Force; although space was frozen, her instincts still triggered her super ability, and an invisible force sent the Pietro in front of her flying back.

Caught off guard, Pietro was sent flying, and at the same time, the time stop ended.

Seeing Pietro flying backward, Wanda immediately used telekinesis to catch him and said angrily:

"What are you doing? Why are you hurting my brother!"

Jean was unable to defend herself; this belonged to her passive ability.

Professor X also guessed what happened and explained:

"Jean is an instructor at the academy. Due to some special reasons, her power was triggered by your brother. She didn't mean it, I am very sorry."

Pietro hurriedly said: "Sister, it's my fault. Don't blame them, you should understand, right?"

Wanda realized what happened; Pietro had probably used his super ability again, but he had encountered someone powerful and suffered a loss.

Even so, Wanda still felt a bit angry inside.

"Come in and sit."

Afterward, Wanda let everyone into the room.

After Professor X, Jean, Laser Eyes, Storm, and the others walked in, they looked at the goods and daily necessities filling the room, and looked at the siblings with strange expressions.

Pietro said humorously: "Ahem, the end of the world is coming, so I'm preparing a bit more. Isn't there a saying in the East about being prepared?"

"A smart child," Charles praised.

Kitty Pryde stared at Pietro, her eyes full of curiosity, which made the introverted Pietro feel a bit embarrassed.

"Professor, you don't need to say it, I know what you mean. But we won't be joining," Wanda said directly.

Perhaps because Pietro had just been accidentally injured, she was angry and thus refused to let Pietro join the academy.

She only wanted Pietro to live his life in peace, and had no other thoughts!

"No, no, no, sister, I suddenly think the academy is quite good," Pietro hurriedly denied.

"??" Wanda.

Pietro teleported in front of Kitty Pryde again and introduced himself:

"Hello, my name is Pietro, of course, you can also call me Quicksilver. My strength is that my speed is very fast, very fast."

"Hehe, hello, you can call me Katie," Kitty Pryde covered her mouth and laughed, finding Pietro very interesting.

"Fast, are you fast at everything?"

The stern Laser Eyes uttered a secret that only adults would know.

Storm gave Laser Eyes a look, and Jean did the same.

"Yes, fast at everything. In terms of speed, I dare say no one is faster than me," Pietro was still young and didn't understand the nuances of adults, so he said it bluntly.

Wanda fell silent, feeling like a clown; one second Pietro was dead set against joining the X-Men Academy, and the next he was agreeing to everything.

"Ms. Wanda, will you join?" Charles asked.

He was more concerned about Wanda, because the power within her was very strong, no less than Jean's.

"I'm used to being alone, and I am a magician; the academy can't help me with anything," Wanda said.

"That's a pity, but the academy's doors are always open for you, Wanda," the professor smiled.

Beep!

A message arrived on the communication devices of Laser Eyes and Storm; the two looked at it, and their expressions changed drastically.

The professor was the same; he possessed powerful Telepathy and immediately knew what had happened.

"What's wrong?" Pietro asked.

"Magneto has kidnapped the President," the professor said with a grave expression.

"What!"

Wanda and Pietro looked on in disbelief.

What exactly was their deadbeat father doing, actually kidnapping the President?

"Eric is my friend; although he has also been fighting for mutants, his ideas are a bit more extreme. He believes that mutants are a superior race and that the world should be controlled by mutants," the professor sighed.

"But why kidnap the President?" Quicksilver still didn't understand.

"Because Magneto invented a Transformation Device that can turn humans into Mutants, but this device has a fatal flaw: the mutated humans will soon die because they cannot withstand the Mutant gene," Laser Eyes said.

"He also kidnapped Rogue. He must be planning to use Rogue's Absorption to operate the machine," Storm said.

Rogue's Absorption is to obtain the other party's ability through contact; Magneto can let Rogue operate the machine.

The cost of operating the machine is also very high, placing a deep burden on the body.

Naturally, Magneto couldn't possibly use his own body for the experiment; Rogue is just a good experimental subject?

"Sister, this cheap father of ours is truly crazy," Quicksilver exclaimed.

"Wanda, your ability is very strong; I hope you can help us," the Professor said.

"This."

Wanda showed a thoughtful expression; in fact, she didn't want to interfere in outside affairs, but now this concerned her own father.

"Ding, Private Task triggered: Stop Magneto from transforming all of humanity. Task complete: gain 20,000 points."

In her mind, the Chat Group's voice reached Wanda's ears.

"What should I do?"

Wanda was conflicted inside; on one hand was her father, and although there wasn't much affection, they were, after all, connected by blood.

On the other hand was the safety of humanity. Once all of humanity is transformed into Mutants, who knows what kind of chaos the world will fall into, and this machine also has side effects. If all the transformed humans die, that would be another disaster.

Chat Group.

Nvwu Wangda: "Everyone, what do you think I should do?"

Wanda stated her thoughts, hoping to get everyone's perspective.

Playboy: "Damn, transforming all of humanity, this idea is truly crazy?"

Thanos of Titan: "Heh, this idea is a bit childish; it's not as good as a snap of the fingers."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Thanos, you are indeed the director of the population planning office, simple and crude."

Father Avenger: "So, Wanda is also in the same universe as us."

Playboy: "To be precise, it's a parallel universe."

Father Avenger: "Alright, a parallel universe. Then does Wanda's world have me?"

Playboy: "Definitely, I'm there."

Demon Queen: "What's there to think about? Just do it, for the world, for peace."

Scripture Seeker: "Morgana, when did your ideological awareness become so high?"

Demon Queen: "Please, Xuanzang, I am an angel, a pure and flawless angel."

Scripture Seeker: "Hmm, full of bad intentions."

Demon Queen: "Xuanzang, you say that, and I am very sad."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Wanda, you don't need to think about this kind of thing; you must stop your father. Besides, that machine has problems. If it fails, I estimate tens of thousands of people will die."

Bad Commander: "Indeed."

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "And there are points to be earned."

Nvwu Wangda: "Alright, I understand."

After the advice from the group members, Wanda also knew what choice she should make.

Playboy: "Wanda, do you need help?"

Nvwu Wangda: "Help? I definitely need it. If everyone can help me, that would be great."

Playboy: "Thanos, shall we form a team?"

Thanos of Titan: "? Form a team! It's not impossible."

Thanos pondered for a moment and felt he could go to Wanda's world; after all, it was a parallel world similar to his own.

Playboy: "By the way, Wanda. In your world, did I become Iron Man?"

Nvwu Wangda: "I don't know, I don't seem to have heard any news about Iron Man; most of it is your gossip."

Playboy: "..., alright. By the way, is anyone else going to Wanda's world? Brother Ye, Diliu Han?"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "I'll just watch the show this time."

Wudang Old Immortal: "This old man has the same thought."

Na Du Tong Backbone Feng Baobao: "Want some sunflower seeds?"

One Hit Old Heavenly Master: "No need, we have plenty of those at Longhu Mountain."

Playboy: "Ye Shifu, you are the captain of the Multiverse Defense Team, not coming?"

Playboy: "Ye Shifu, you are the captain of the Multiverse Defense Force, won't you come and give it a try?"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Ahem, Ye Shifu, with great power comes great responsibility."

Playboy: "Why does that sound so familiar."

Foshan Ye Wen: "Alright."

Father Avenger: "Then I'll come too."

Star-Lord is no longer an ordinary person now; besides a set of high-tech equipment, he also has superpowers as a demigod, and his strength is not bad.

Diviner: "If it's decided, I will open the Portal later."

Yan Shuangying spoke up at this moment; although she is the Group Owner, she seems to have no status to speak of, and her presence is extremely low.

Demon Queen: "Oh, the Group Owner has appeared."

Old Demon King: "Celebrate, ahem."

Kyushu Number One Golden Core: "Hahaha!"

The Number One Golden Core of the Nine Provinces: "Hahaha!"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "The Group Owner has been appearing less frequently lately."

Diviner: "..."

Yan Shuangying was speechless; she was merely lurking, and she had recently been preparing to break through to the Star Level, then head to outer space to purchase the ownership rights to Earth.

Unlike this group of Diliu, who were always spamming the chat.

Foshan Ye Wen: "Then I shall trouble the Group Owner."

Ye Wen said politely, unlike the other group members who were just joking around.

Yan Shuangying said nothing, then used the Group Owner's permissions to open a portal for travel.

In the Marvel World, near the Statue of Liberty, most of the Mutants and the soldiers maintaining order had gathered.

Magneto hovered high in mid-air, a unique magnetic field forming around him; this magnetic field was indestructible, sufficient to isolate thermal weapons and various sneak attacks.

Furthermore, human weapons were of no use to Magneto; with a single thought, he could disassemble and control them.

On the Statue of Liberty, a middle-aged man was firmly bound by metal bars, and beside him was an ingeniously designed device; it was through this device that ordinary people could undergo Transformation, and in the center of the device, a blonde girl looked terrified.

She seemed to realize what was about to happen, yet she still could not help but tremble inside.

"Today is destined to be a day that goes down in history. After today, Mutants will dominate this world; Mutants are the future."

Magneto held his hands up, and on the sea surface below, huge waves were stirred up; countless metal elements from the seabed were summoned forth, and the metal bridge several kilometers around the statue also began to disintegrate at the first moment—this scene was like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking.

In the same space-time, the people from the X-Men Academy had also arrived.

The Professor watched this scene, feeling incomparable heartache, and communicated telepathically:

"Eric, doing this will only make the situation for Mutants even more dangerous. Come back; do not continue to make mistake after mistake."

"Your device has a problem; those who are transformed will die within thirty-six hours."

Matters having reached this point, Magneto was already insane, and he could not listen to the Professor's words, coldly saying:

"Heh, Charles, don't even think about stopping me. You think you have protected Mutants, but don't you know about the persecution Mutants suffer throughout the entire world? Your academy has only taken in a portion, but what about other places? You cannot be unaware of these things!"

"Now, I am going to liberate the entire Mutant race and purify the entire world."

"Sigh!"

Charles sighed; although Magneto was extreme, he was not entirely wrong—there were indeed many Mutants who had been harmed.

But people have good and bad, and Mutants also have good and bad.

His stance had never been just for Mutants, but for all of humanity.

Mutants are innocent, but are many kind ordinary humans not innocent? If they woke up to find they had become Mutants and then died, what a disaster that would be.

Even if this time it could not transform all of humanity, it would be enough to cause a city to face Absolute extinction.

After that, humans and Mutants would be completely opposed, locked in an endless struggle.

At that time, the sparsely populated Mutants would be targeted by the entire world, with no place left to survive.
