Chapter 1080

"I think it's still fine now."

Hearing Professor X's set of theories again, Magneto's expression was somewhat suspicious: "A lot of people have died in Washington these days, but those who should be there are still there. I don't have the feeling that the world is about to be in chaos."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but recall the rhetoric his friend had used to stop him before.

It was this set of rhetoric.

It made him believe that a chaotic Federation wouldn't change the situation of mutants at all, and after the deterrence of force, the people of the Federation would reconsider their relationship with mutants.

Magneto naively believed it.

And the result?

Washington went its own way and refused to change despite repeated admonitions.

Professor X shook his head and said: "Humans took many years to learn to stand and walk; they just need more time."

Magneto nodded: "So how many more lives of our compatriots do we need to sacrifice before we can wait for them to learn to think about peaceful coexistence with us?"

Professor X didn't speak.

Magneto continued: "Or is it as you said to Wanda just now, your stance has always been human, and never us mutants?"

Hearing this, Professor X looked directly at Magneto.

"In my heart, humans and mutants are the same."

"But your actions are indeed standing on the human side. I try to fight for rights, you come out to stop me; humans slaughter mutants, you turn a blind eye."

Magneto smiled. After saying this to Professor X, he also withdrew his gaze: "I won't care about this matter anymore, and you have also seen that I can't care about it. I'm leaving, Charles. I advise you to go back. Perhaps this time, the humans you speak of who need time to think about this problem can really learn to think about how to get along with us."

After saying that.

Magneto didn't bother with Professor X anymore, left the Palm Street street on his own, and disappeared from Professor X's sight.

Professor X, who withdrew his gaze, turned his head again to look at the closed door.

Now two choices were placed in front of him.

Go back and turn a blind eye.

Continue and gamble with the entire Earth again.

When mutants and humans were placed in front of him as a multiple-choice question, he could choose humans.

But when Washington and Earth were placed together as a multiple-choice question, Professor X hesitated.

Just then.

Professor X suddenly thought of Hawk.

He thought of a sentence Jean had just said: because of Washington's plotting this time, Hawk was now trapped on the edge of life and death, and it was unknown whether he could wake up.

The edge of life and death?

He was familiar with this.

He had experienced it not long ago. After being killed instantly the moment the Sentinel robot was activated, he had indeed briefly gone to the edge of life and death once.

So—

If I can wake Hawk up, then, can I persuade them to change their minds?

Thinking of this, Professor X's heart stirred, and then he did it. After returning to the X-Mansion, he came to the underground space of the X-Mansion, put on that brainwave amplification instrument, and closed his eyes.

In an instant.

His mind instantly landed above Palm Street, and in it, he saw Jean and Wanda, and then he also saw Hawk sitting in meditation under the Wutong tree.

Professor X didn't hesitate; his mind went directly into Hawk's sea of consciousness, attempting to wake Hawk up, thereby preventing the unprecedented revenge that Wanda was about to bring in twenty-four hours.

With a swoosh.

Professor X only felt a blur before his eyes, and immediately after, he found that he seemed to have arrived in a universe.

The sea of stars was boundless.

The universe was vast.

Phoenix cries were heard in bursts.

Professor X opened his eyes, looked around at this brilliant starry sky filled with golden-red colors, and was somewhat unbelievable.

After all, the world of life and death he had experienced, it couldn't be said that it was exactly the same as here, but it could also be said that it was completely different.

For a moment, Professor X even doubted whether he had come to the wrong place.

But soon.

Professor X discovered Hawk.

Coming into view.

In the center of this cosmic sea of stars, Hawk, who seemed to be sitting cross-legged at the heart of the Phoenix, instantly reflected in Professor X's eyes.

Professor X's eyes lit up. Before he thought about how to get there, he felt that in the next second, he had already stepped onto this green lawn, and Hawk was sitting in meditation under the Wutong tree not far away.

He walked over.

"Hawk Phoenix."

"..."

Hawk, sitting cross-legged, heard the sound, opened his eyes, looked at Professor X standing in front of him, and there was no surprise in his eyes.

"Professor X."

"Mr. Phoenix."

Professor X looked at Hawk, who had opened his eyes, and said directly: "I am here to save you and take you out."

Hawk raised an eyebrow.

"Save me?"

"Yes, you are trapped on the edge of life and death. Follow me, and you can leave here."

"Follow you?"

Hawk rose from under the Wutong tree and, under Professor X's gaze, stretched.

In an instant.

The universe shattered.

The starry sky collapsed.

Everything Professor X saw was collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, the universe turned into two singularities glowing with golden-red flames, and then, under Professor X's gaze, they overlapped with Hawk's eyes, decorating Hawk's pupils into a double-pupil appearance.

"This..."

"If I wanted to go out, I would have gone out a long time ago."

Hawk looked at Professor X, who was full of shock, and smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Professor X looked at Hawk.

"Then you..."

"See if my enemies will take the field themselves."

Hawk's tone was calm.

He was talking about the members of the Celestials.

After all, what had taken the field before was just Ikaris of the Eternals, a weapon created by the Celestials.

But the members of the Celestials had not taken the field.

Hawk had originally thought that if he were trapped on the edge of life and death this time, the members of the Celestials would take the field.

So after he walked the path he came from again, he wasn't in a hurry to go out, but was waiting here.

He was waiting for the members of the Celestials.

The result—

He didn't wait for the Celestials, but instead waited for Professor X.

Hawk looked at Professor X, who had entered his sea of consciousness, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"So!"

"Professor X, you risked your life to find me, is it to ask me to let that group of people in Washington go?"

"..."
