Chapter 1351: Mysteries of the Feast (Part 18)
"Xiangong, also known as Odin's Golden Palace." Shiler shook his head and said, "The Nine Realms are Odin's Nine Realms. Anything that happens here cannot escape Odin's eyes. Even if he is no longer the King, the raven will bring news to Odin."
"So what? This Shi'ar Empire Queen didn't actually say anything, did she?" Wanda shook her head somewhat puzzled.
"First of all, pointing fingers at the King's family affairs is already very impolite. If this Lilandra Majesty scolded Odin, it wouldn't matter, but the terrible thing is that she actually agreed with Odin."
"Isn't it good to agree?" Wanda asked.
Shiler sighed and said, "Do you think this Shi'ar Empire Queen can be considered a good emperor?"
Wanda showed a tangled expression, because of the romance between Lilandra and Charles, Wanda's first impression of this Queen was not bad, but she still couldn't deceive herself, so she could only tell the truth.
"To be honest, even if I haven't been an emperor, I know that kind of hesitant person who worries about a small matter for three days is not suitable to be an emperor, and it's even a bit reluctant to be a company leader."
Shiler nodded and said:
"For a proud person, the most terrible thing is to get praise from a fool, because this means that this fool treats you as the same kind. This is simply the greatest insult."
"Besides..." Shiler sighed again and said, "Odin has a sense of guilt toward Hela in his heart. His teaching of his first child was indeed not very attentive, and the mistakes were too obvious. He couldn't even fool himself."
"And for a father who is used to being a tyrant, how he scolds his children is his own business, but if an outsider dares to point fingers... think about your father, Wanda."
Wanda immediately understood. She shivered and said, "Don't talk about pointing fingers, I'm still worried now that Jarvis will be beaten to death by Magneto."
Just as they were talking, the atmosphere in the room changed again. Lilandra didn't know why she started crying. Charles comforted her while stroking her back. The two chatted and chatted and chatted together again, completely different from the stiff atmosphere before.
"How come it looks like Professor Charles still has feelings for Lilandra?" Wanda crossed her arms, her features wrinkled together, and said somewhat worriedly, "Looking at it this way, this woman just wants to use him. What if Professor Charles is cheated by her?"
Shiler and Strange laughed together, and even Rocket Raccoon in Shiler's arms shook his head and sighed. Wanda was baffled by their laughter and turned back to glare at them puzzledly.
"Little girl, haven't you seen it yet? Both of them want to use each other. Rekindling old love? Purely bullshit!" Raccoon spat and said.
"Wanda, I'm afraid Professor Charles's moral bottom line is slightly lower than you think." Shiler pinched two fingers together and made a gesture.
Wanda widened her eyes. She was about to open her mouth to refute, but Shiler immediately said, "Yes, that's right. For humans, especially ordinary people, he is simply a saint, but that's because he was polluted by the thinking of too many ordinary people when he couldn't control his mind-reading ability well, so his position was biased toward them."
"In general, he is also a human supremacist. His moral level only plays a role within the human race. If the other party is not human..." Shiler shook his head and said, "Why don't you think about it, when Dark Phoenix went crazy and destroyed an entire star system, killing so many aliens, why did Professor Charles firmly disagree with the trial of the Shi'ar Empire?"
Wanda paused, and then reacted. Indeed, Shiler's words made sense. At that time, Professor X also chose humanity between his own love and the position of humanity. He and Lilandra were half a catty to eight taels, and neither should talk about the other.
And Wanda actually had a doubt for a long time. She actually discovered long ago that the relationship between Magneto and Professor X was not as bad as written in the newspaper. In private, they couldn't be said to be at daggers drawn, but could only be said to be harmonious.
If Professor X were really just a simple and kind Virgin Mary, how could he get along so well with Magneto?
Wanda sighed silently in her heart. Professor X is also black-hearted, and the black part might even be blacker than Magneto. This world is really too crazy.
"Lil, how you handle the m'kraan crystal has nothing to do with me, and I don't need more powerful power, so please believe that I am completely suggesting you from an objective point of view, you must destroy it!"
Lilandra said very painfully with her head hanging down, "It's easy to say, how can I destroy it, and how can I ensure that when it is destroyed, it won't destroy our universe?"
"This is indeed a problem." Charles also frowned, showing a worried look, as if he had been stumped, but suddenly he looked up at Lilandra and said, "If it's just simply moving it, will there be a problem?"
"What do you want to do?" Lilandra looked at Charles.
"If the danger of destroying it is too great, you can consider hiding it in a place that only you know and no one else knows, so that no one else can study it except you, and you know its danger and won't touch it... This is considered the best method."

Lilandra seemed to have grabbed a straw. She immediately stared at Charles and asked, "If it can really be done, perhaps it is indeed the best choice. But how can I move it, and where should I hide it?"
Charles sighed and looked at Lilandra, saying, "Can't you find a reliable person in the Shi'ar Empire? You don't intend to rely entirely on us, do you?"
Lilandra showed an awkward expression. Charles knew from her expression just by looking at it that she probably made a mess of the interior of the Shi'ar Empire.
This Queen ascended the throne for several years and was still a novice. She couldn't find a reliable person in the entire kingdom who could do things for her.
"Your Majesty, you overestimate us too much. Humans have only just begun to plan to walk out of their mother planet, and haven't even built a spaceship yet. You intend to let us help you move such a big thing, and want us to help you hide it? Where do we have such great ability?"
"It's not entirely relying on you." Lilandra pursed her lips and said, "I can provide you with some help. All the resources I can mobilize within the territory of the Shi'ar Empire can be provided to you."
Charles shook his head and said, "Far from enough. To do this, mutants alone are not enough. We must definitely pull in other powerful humans. My personal connections can't pull in many people. You definitely have to pay them."
Lilandra showed a tangled expression, suddenly changed the subject and said, "If too many people know, then how can it be called a secret? And, wouldn't humans also be greedy for the power of the m'kraan crystal?"
"But look at the appearance of humans now, does it look like they can study the m'kraan crystal? Except for a very few humans, I'm afraid we have difficulties even getting close to it, including me." Charles said immediately.
Lilandra fell into thought. The speed of the few strongest humans has been too fast. In just a few years, there have been steel demon gods and light kings, and even those real gods in the universe haven't reacted, let alone a Queen of an interstellar empire.
Although she knew that many humans had powerful specialties in some aspects, such as Professor X being good at mind control, but similarly, their shortcomings were also obvious. Professor X's physical body was basically an ordinary person, and he indeed had no way to get close to the m'kraan crystal.
Humans with powerful physical bodies might not have the ability to study, and humans who can study might have great difficulties even getting close. This race has not carried out large-scale interstellar colonization and does not have the ability to threaten the m'kraan crystal. Lilandra thought so, and naturally felt that this was a cost-effective deal.
With the conversation between the two in the room, Wanda said thoughtfully, "So, the Queen's purpose from the beginning was to let mutants and powerful humans help her hide the m'kraan crystal, and only let her possess it alone?"
Shiler nodded and said, "This is indeed a good move. Once the m'kraan crystal disappears, that group of fanatical nobles will slow down their offensive, because they feel that the crystal is more important than the Queen, and they will definitely put their energy into finding the crystal."
"At the same time, the crystal will also become the most powerful card in the Queen's hand, enough for her to command the nobles, and even influence the Shi'ar twin gods."
Soon, Strange brought several people back to the original timeline. At this time, the conversation between Professor X and Magneto in the room was still continuing.
After hearing Professor X say "think about our past", Magneto suddenly became quiet and was no longer so aggressive.
Clearly, he understood Charles's meaning—think about our past, do you really think I would be a stupid person who is emotional and ignores the overall situation?
Magneto sat on the sofa against the wall somewhat relaxed. He put his hands in front of him, looked at Charles, and said, "So, you made a deal with the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire? Then what should we do?"
Charles showed a smile and said, "No, we didn't make a deal."
Magneto's fingers paused, and then the people outside the window heard Charles in the room say in a calm, waveless tone:
"And I don't need to make a deal with her. Her mental defense magic that she is proud of was already eliminated by me when she said the second sentence to me... I have already obtained the coordinates of the m'kraan crystal."
"Think about our past, Eric, I think you already know what you should do."
"What on earth are you all doing?!
"
"What about the guards of Asgard?!
What about the steward in the corridor?!
Didn't anyone see the murderer?!
!"
In the dance floor, the Queen's husband lying on the ground shouted, "Do you just indulge the occurrence of the murder case?! The Shi'ar Empire will not let you go!
!"
Shiler's gaze fell on the Queen's corpse again. Besides the terrifying scar on her face, the big hole in her chest was also particularly conspicuous.
And Shiler saw that on the connective tissue at the edge of the wound, there were obvious scorched black traces produced by electric current.
