Chapter 3123: Romantic

Professor X thought for a while and said, "Then do you know how he obtained this power of a million stars?"

"Do I need to know? Of course, by compressing a million stars."

"How can it be that simple?"

"It is that simple. I watched him do it." The young man said very firmly, "Although I don't know exactly how he did it, the power of a million stars is the true power of a million stars."

Professor X suddenly realized a problem. He said, "How much of that potion did you drink at that time?"

"One mouthful."

"One mouthful has the power of a million stars?!"

"In fact, it's fortunate that I only drank one mouthful, otherwise I would have exploded long ago." The young man said.

"It's also amazing that you didn't explode after drinking one mouthful." Beast interjected, "To ordinary humans, what's the difference between the power of a million stars and ten million stars?"

"No." The young man said, "The professor told me that I was special to begin with, and Void didn't appear because I had power, but was always there. Perhaps it was because of his existence that I didn't explode on the spot."

"How much of this energy did that professor have?"

"At least I saw he had a whole planet's warehouse, filled with this kind of potion. He called this 'Tears of the Sun'."

Professor X and Beast gasped at the same time. The young man suddenly spoke again, "This liquid energy shouldn't be the final form. He should still be refining and compressing them. I heard him say he wanted to make some 'Crystal of the Sun'."

"No wonder it exploded." Beast said, "This is too crazy! I said long ago that Soviets are all lunatics!"

Professor X, however, was thinking that this guy actually brought such dangerous things to Earth. Fortunately, this guy called Void didn't explode on Earth, otherwise wouldn't it all be over?

"Wait, why did he bring this thing to Earth?"

Professor X asked his doubt. The young man said, "He didn't seem to want to bring it to Earth, but to do some experiments near the sun. Earth is quite close to the sun, so he might have just put it here."

"Is this something you can just 'put here'?!" Beast roared. Thinking that he had once shared a planet with so many dangerous goods, he felt his scalp tingle.

"Doing experiments near the sun... massive energy... precise weapons..." Professor X muttered to himself.

"Where did he get so many stars?" Beast raised his doubt. He said, "According to what you said, a jar of potion must have at least the energy of billions of stars. How could a planet's warehouse have billions of jars of this energy? The entire galaxy only has 200 billion stars. Even if they were all refined into energy, it wouldn't make much. How many galaxies had to be destroyed for this?"

"You're stupid." The young man said, "Why do you have to get them in this one universe? Can't you get enough by running to a few more universes?"

Beast was stunned.

Professor X suddenly realized. Why did this plan sound a bit familiar? Why did it seem like the approach of that Life Fusion Project?

So this was the main body of that Life Fusion Project? It wasn't stealing life from other universes, but stealing stars from other universes?

Could this guy be driving the M'Kraan Crystal to steal stars everywhere in other universes???

Then what about the cosmic abstract entities? No one cares???

Professor X thought about it. If only a few stars were stolen from one universe, it indeed wouldn't attract the attention of cosmic abstract entities.

But the problem is, if this is the case, the other party must have traveled through various universes countless times. If he really borrowed the power of the crystal, then he would definitely accumulate incomparably terrifying curses on his body.

The M'Kraan Crystal is the heart of the universe, the intersection of all reality. It is not a divine artifact, but just an existence, the same as the existence of the universe itself.

It can indeed be used as a channel for infinite single and multiverse travel, because every universe has such an existence. But this function is almost unusable. Otherwise, the mutants wouldn't have used it so long after getting the crystal.

The reason is that once the crystal is used, one will encounter an extremely terrifying curse.

This curse doesn't make people die or get injured, but makes the possessor of the curse "unlucky."

Unlucky means that everything he does will definitely have the worst result. In human terms, it's bad luck, bad luck, bad luck.

This curse is not a one-time thing, but can be repeatedly superimposed. The more times it is used, the unluckier one becomes.

The vast majority of people don't have the power to hold on until the second use, because the first time is already unlucky enough to die.

If this guy named Anatoly had used the crystal countless times to travel through various universes in order to collect endless stars, how much bad luck would have accumulated on him? How unlucky would he be?

Professor X couldn't imagine this, because the so-called crystal curse only exists in legends. The possessors were all unlucky to death, so how would the mutants dare to experiment?

It seems the possibility of this guy being alive now is not high, Professor X thought. If he could really live until now, then this universe should be unlucky along with him. Their universe already has Schiller, which is unlucky enough... lucky enough, so let's not have another one.

At this time, Professor X thought of another problem. He asked, "If you only have the power of a million stars, how did you blow up a galaxy at that time?"

"Ordinary galaxies have hundreds of billions of stars. With the power of a million stars, it should be impossible to affect such a large range. But that prosperous galaxy was indeed wiped out directly, and it is still very dangerous until today. How did he do it?"

"Void's power." The young man answered truthfully, "To be honest, I don't know how he did it, but anyway, Void plus the power of a million stars would become like this."

It seems this guy is not easy to deal with, Professor X thought. Also, if he were easy to deal with, it wouldn't be his turn. That guy could even compress countless stars, and he couldn't do it. Can he really do it?

"I think you should be able to solve my problem." The young man suddenly said, "I heard of you when I was young. They said you are the strongest telepath. Maybe you can really dig Void out."

"I will try my best, child." Professor X instinctively comforted.

"I'm not a child." The young man's tone revealed a smile. He said, "The Skrull Empire the professor took me to was thousands of years ago. Although I have been sleeping, I am at least thousands of years old."

Professor X then remembered that the Old Skrull Empire was a long, long time ago. If the young man was born later than him, he must have traveled through time.

But that guy named Anatoly couldn't be a human from Earth thousands of years ago. If he was a Soviet, then he also traveled through time. But what did he go back for?

Professor X suddenly thought that this Skrull Interstellar Socialist Republic sounded so much like the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics?

Good heavens, this guy wouldn't be resurrecting the Soviet Union, would he?

It's not impossible, Professor X thought, looking at the returning Magneto. Crazy Soviets could do anything. He was someone who had experienced that era. How could he not understand what those beasts who were once at the end of their rope could do?

He guessed that it was likely a desperate idealist who developed some time-travel machine, but the machine had problems and didn't travel back a few decades, but to the Skrull Empire thousands of years ago.

At that time, the Skrull Empire was still ruled by aristocrats, and the Soviet, who was full of anger, went up and gave them two punches, and then became the founder of the Skrull Republic.

Then he might have been like some crazy scientists in the Soviet Union, thinking he could rely on calculations to create a super invincible weapon that directly affects the rules of the universe, and then started the long road of refining stars.

But he might not have known the side effects of the crystal, so he accumulated too much bad luck, which eventually led to the collapse of the Skrull Republic after a series of unimaginable unlucky events.

Professor X had read interstellar history. He personally believed that the late Skrull Republic was indeed a bit too unlucky. That big explosion caused by the young man in the stasis pod was completely an innocent disaster, not something human power could control. It's hard to believe that it wasn't stained with some bad luck.

Sure enough, the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with a price. No one can get something for nothing.

"Can I start treatment?" The young man was quite cooperative. He said, "By the way, can you tell me about the current international situation? Has a hot war broken out between the US and the Soviet Union?"

Mentioning this, Professor X sighed again, but he still said, "No, and the Cold War has already ended."

"Ended? Who won?"

"They... neither won."

In the spiritual world, everyone gathered together. They were not in their ordinary forms now, each one was flashy, taking out their best fighting state.

But now they were holding a failure review meeting.

That's right, they didn't win at all. Let alone fighting Schiller later, they didn't even beat Hydra.

Wanda's expectation was indeed correct. It wasn't that they weren't strong enough, but that this form of theirs was too influential on their performance.

No matter what action they wanted to do, they had to say it out loud first. Even if they threw a punch, they had to shout "I'm going to throw a punch" first. This wasn't filming a movie. Everyone had to shout the name of their move, which was a complete waste of time.

For example, when one of Hydra's tentacles whipped over, you had to describe how you dodged it. If you reacted slowly, or described it slowly, you would be hit directly.

It wasn't impossible to resist hard, but you had to explain the reason why you could resist hard. For example, Stark had to say what kind of alloy his armor was made of, which had high strength. The Scarlet Witch had to say that she was Scarlet Power herself and wouldn't be hit by a physical entity.

The problem was that by the time they finished speaking, they had already been whipped away for miles.

"This won't do." Stark complained, "This rule is too outrageous. Who plays like this?"

"I've been very merciful." Dream-powered Doctor Strange said expressionlessly, "What you say is all team voice, and won't be heard by the other side. If you don't like this, I can also change it."

"That's not necessary!" Wanda refused immediately. They were already fighting like this. If Hydra could hear and understand what they said, then what would happen?

Stark originally wanted to incite a change in the rules, but he saw Schiller standing on the side with his arms crossed, looking at him with a half-smile.

Stark was so angry. He had just vowed that he would go to fight Schiller after beating Hydra, but now he couldn't even beat the appetizer, and he had become this dish himself.

"Fight is fight." Stark said, "Let's have a tactical meeting first and discuss what to do! Come over here..."

At this time, Dream-powered Doctor Strange landed beside Schiller, glanced at him, and said in a low voice:

"Why did you insist on having me help Nick draw that Eclipse card?" ===== CHAPTER 3124 =====
