Chapter 1046: Marvel: Starting by Awakening the Little Universe Chapter 571

~5 min read 905 words

Among the guests at this banquet, there were no mutants.

Neither Professor X nor Magneto was there.

The former was not invited.

As for the latter—

Magneto had already left Quantico after Hawk and Wanda arrived in the morning.

If he hadn't come, Hawk figured Magneto would probably have been invited too.

Because they are barbarians, after all.

They fear power, not virtue.

They wouldn't take Professor X, who seeks peace through peace, seriously, but they would definitely take Magneto, who seeks peace through violence, seriously.

As for Professor X?

He was still in the Sentinel robot laboratory.

Because just as Hawk and the others were attending the banquet, the scientists responsible for testing the Sentinel robot suddenly noticed abnormal data in the Sentinel robot and were unsure, so they called Professor X over.

"No."

"The temperature is still rising."

"What's going on?"

"Wasn't it fine this afternoon?"

"Not sure."

The scientists, who were also considered necessary sacrifices, were confused in front of the Sentinel robot's testing equipment.

Professor X, sitting in his wheelchair, also looked up at this five-meter-tall Sentinel robot full of oppressive force.

For some reason, his heart was becoming more and more panicked.

Clearly, Hawk had clearly stated that this thing of unknown origin had nothing to do with him and would leave when the time came.

His heart had indeed relaxed a bit that afternoon, but upon knowing that the temperature of this thing of unknown origin was abnormally rising, his heart gradually rose along with the internal temperature of the Sentinel robot.

So what went wrong?

Professor X lowered his eyebrows, thinking to himself, and then looked up to meet the eyes of the Sentinel robot, which had no real eyes.

Just then.

A scientist who was discussing looked at Professor X: "Professor, can you see what has changed inside this thing?"

Professor X came back to his senses, looked at the scientist who spoke, and nodded: "I'll try."

While saying this, Professor X raised his eyes, used his psychic ability, and looked at the Sentinel robot again.

The next second.

His mind instantly sank into the interior of the Sentinel robot.

And then—

He was shocked.

Because before this, he had probed it once with his psychic ability, and this Sentinel robot had no psychic world; it was just a dead object.

But this time, not only did he enter the Sentinel robot's psychic world, but the world here gave him a feeling of familiarity.

Professor X, who was already inside the Sentinel robot's psychic world, widened his eyes, looking at the manor that appeared before him in disbelief: "This is... Xavier's Manor?"

Yes.

The building that appeared in the Sentinel robot's psychic world was none other than the manor Professor X was exceptionally familiar with.

But how could such a building appear in the Sentinel robot's psychic world?

Professor X was full of confusion.

And just when Professor X was shocked by this scene, the scientist who had just suggested Professor X showed a trace of a successful smile, nodded imperceptibly to one of the other scientists, and then the two looked at each other. While the other scientists were still looking at Professor X in the wheelchair with expectant eyes, they slowly retreated toward the outside.

Meanwhile.

The dinner part of the banquet had ended.

After all, the dinner was never the focus of the banquet; the banquet itself was the focus.

In the room next to the banquet hall, the fireplace was burning brightly, and President Baron Turner was chatting with Hawk, each with a glass of after-dinner bourbon.

Mostly Baron Turner was talking, and Hawk was listening.

Once again.

Being able to talk for hours on end is a basic skill for a politician, so even if Hawk didn't say a word, Baron Turner could continue the topic with continuous words.

Just then.

Baron Turner felt a sudden vibration in his pocket, his heart moved, his expression remained unchanged, he clinked glasses with Hawk very naturally and took a sip of the wine in his glass, then apologized: "Sorry, Mr. Phoenix, I'm going to the restroom."

Hawk finally spoke.

He raised an eyebrow, looked at Baron Turner, who said he was going to pee, and put his wine glass on the tray of the attendant next to him: "Coincidentally, I'm going to the restroom too. Let's go, together."

Baron Turner's expression didn't change at all.

"Okay."

"Let's go."

Hawk smiled brightly.

In the restroom.

Hawk, in his prime, solved the problem in three or two strokes, while Baron Turner, with white hair, seemed to have the heart but not the strength.

Baron Turner looked embarrassed, watching Hawk, who had tidied his clothes and seemed to be waiting for him: "Sorry, I'm old. Mr. Phoenix can go first, I'll be done in a second."

Hawk crossed his arms: "It's fine, I can wait."

Baron Turner smiled bitterly: "You being here makes me feel a lot of pressure."

Hawk heard this and nodded.

"You should indeed feel a lot of pressure."

"Hmm?"

"After all, with me here, how can you run?"

Hawk looked at Baron Turner with a smile, his tone calm, but his gaze gradually became sharp and cold: "The Sentinel robot down there specifically used to deal with me should be starting, right? So you plan to use peeing as an excuse to escape, right, old man!"
