Chapter 3126: Romantic
"What should we do next?" Gray Mist asked.
Schiller sighed softly and said, "It seems we can't get more clues. Prepare to close the net."
After saying this, he took out his phone and called Ultron, then said, "How is the Andromeda Galaxy?"
"Mr. Sinister has already spread his virus," Ultron replied. "He is now staying at the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy, seemingly observing the spread of the virus."
"What about his helper?"
"You mean Apocalypse? My monitor didn't see his figure. Should we wait? Or notify the mutants directly?"
"Don't notify them. Find a way to create a technical failure and let them come to check it themselves."
"Okay, sir. In addition, Magneto and his daughter have caused a big scene in the territory of the Shi'ar Empire. Professor X might be trying to trigger a coup."
"They are controlling the Queen, not the nobles. Who is the coup going to be against?" Schiller said, "It's more like taking the opportunity to win people's hearts."
"Shouldn't they take this opportunity to ease the relationship between mutants and the Shi'ar Empire?"
"Mutants cannot ease the relationship with any of the three major empires, because their existence itself is a threat. But if they fall out with the Shi'ar Empire on the surface, or even form a deep hatred, then no one will think that the Shi'ar Empire will help them in secret. Professor X is probably trying to take action against the other two major empires."
"I understand," Ultron said. "Crossing the sea in secret."
"Exactly. Watch, it won't be long before the chaos caused by mutants in the Shi'ar Empire's territory will be exaggerated dozens of times and spread on the cosmic internet. Everyone will know that the Shi'ar Empire and the mutants have formed a deadly hatred."
"The Professor will definitely take this opportunity to let the Queen send out the Royal Guard to hunt down the mutants. The hunted mutants will run around the universe, and it's understandable for the mutants driven to a dead end to explode with full force. The one who will be injured in the end will definitely be the other two major empires."
"Why do I feel this plan sounds familiar?"
"Your illusion."
"They are here, sir," Ultron said. "They are two unknown ordinary mutants, and an ordinary person who looks like a Chinese. They are coming to check the equipment failure."
"Watch them well, don't let them have an accident. Can you lead them near Mr. Sinister?"
"Should be possible, I'll try."
In the laboratory on the sky island of the capital planet of the Andromeda Galaxy, Beast was debugging the stasis pod where Reynolds was located. Professor X was chatting with him from time to time, mainly still searching for potential hidden dangers in his spirit, trying to dig Void out.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Professor X said, "Come in, Logan, what's wrong?"
Wolverine Logan walked in, frowning deeply. He said, "Blink just told me that two technical department mutants have lost contact, and an engineer from China is also missing."
Hearing the first half, Professor X wasn't that nervous, but when the second half came out, he said hurriedly, "Quick, let Blink and Rogue go find them! The threat of biological riots hasn't been completely cleared. It will be troublesome if something really happens!"
"Blink has already arrived at the last location where they disappeared, but didn't find their tracks. I came to find Hank to adjust the surveillance."
Professor X said while performing brainwave searching, "Go."
Beast stopped his work and took Wolverine to the surveillance room. Wolverine gave him the coordinates, and Beast quickly called up the surveillance nearby.
The surveillance only captured the figures of the technical personnel heading here, but also captured a strange yet familiar figure.
Beast immediately opened his eyes wide and said, "Nathaniel?! Isn't this Mr. Sinister? How could he appear in the Andromeda Galaxy?!!"
"Professor... Professor!!" Beast immediately rushed out of the surveillance room and said to Professor X, "Mr. Sinister Nathaniel has come to the Andromeda Galaxy. Can you find him?!"
Professor X was also shocked when he heard this. He paused slightly and then said, "No, there are no brainwaves of him. This guy should be prepared. Go and gather the students."
"How could he come here?" Wolverine frowned deeply and said, "When we were on Earth, this guy didn't cause us less trouble. Wait, wasn't he a chemist? Or a biologist? Could this biological riot have been caused by him?!"
Professor X didn't tell everyone what he saw in Lila's mind. Most mutants didn't know what was going on and thought the culprit hadn't been caught yet.
But Professor X himself knew that Mr. Sinister couldn't be the mastermind behind this biological riot event. If this were the case, then he was very likely the "disaster" mentioned by the High Evolutionary.
Professor X suddenly understood everything.
What needs antibodies to resist? Physical attacks? Magic attacks? Of course not.
Antibodies target viruses.
And Nathaniel Essex, Mr. Sinister, happened to be an extremely famous chemist and biologist, a master of poison, and had always been the nemesis of the X-Men.
Professor X never expected that Mr. Sinister would chase him to the Andromeda Galaxy. Well, although this guy used various biological modification weapons and viruses to cause great trouble for mutants relying on his excellent scientific research talent, his own superpowers were not strong. At most, he was strong and could fly, etc. It was very difficult to cross such a long distance to another galaxy.
He must have a helper.
Thinking of this, Professor X hurriedly said to Wolverine, "Take the spaceship and equipment to find Blink and Rogue. Don't let them leave the Andromeda Galaxy, not even running far away."
Wolverine nodded. After going out, Reynolds, who was lying in the stasis pod, said, "It seems you have encountered some trouble. It's a pity I can't get out, otherwise I might be able to help you."
"No need," Professor X said. "You are not suitable for any battle right now. Just stay here. After we solve this little trouble, our treatment will continue."
Reynolds didn't speak again, but Beast on the side suddenly said, "Mr. Sinister appearing here is not an accident, you know? Professor, when I returned to Earth to study the samples of the biological riot event, Dr. Schiller recommended a biological and chemical expert to me, which was Nathaniel."
Professor X was slightly stunned. He said, "Schiller must know something."
"If I had agreed at that time, would Dr. Schiller have helped us solve him?" Beast suddenly realized. He said, "He might have been hinting to me, but I didn't understand."
"Don't mind it, Hank. This can't be called a hint at all. Normal people wouldn't understand." Professor X comforted, and then he said, "He might just be testing whether you know what Nathaniel is doing. Only after confirming that you know nothing can he proceed to the next step of the plan."
"What is he trying to do?" Beast asked.
Professor X suddenly understood a little at this time. He said, "Mr. Sinister is not important. I'm afraid the virus he brought can no longer cause any harm to us. The key is the person behind him."
"The person behind him?"
"Yes, when we were on Earth, he didn't cause us less trouble. He wouldn't easily change tracks. The Andromeda Galaxy has been developed for so long. If he really wanted to come, he would have come long ago."
"You mean someone is directing him?"
"Yes, and helped him come here, and shielded my detection. This means the person behind him is not that simple."
"Who do you think it is? Professor?"
A name hovered in Professor X's mind. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Apocalypse."
"Hello, Professor X." A low voice sounded in Professor X's mind.
"It's really you." Professor X frowned deeply and said, "What are you trying to do? Apocalypse?"
"Your path will not succeed." Apocalypse said, "I'm just teaching you the truth that you need to know how to give up."
"I don't want to talk to you about these. Why did you come to me?"
"I think we can make a deal."
"What deal?"
"My subordinate Mr. Sinister has now spread a deadly virus in your galaxy. It will only infect people with the X-gene, making you die in about three days. If there is no antidote, your students will definitely die."
Professor X's heart was pinched, but he immediately calmed down. Although he didn't know why the High Evolutionary helped him, this already upgraded powerful existence should be much stronger than this old guy Apocalypse. The antibodies he sent should be effective.
But he still asked calmly, "What do you want to do?"
"We should join forces to conquer this universe."
"You mean the mutants have worked hard to build in the Andromeda Galaxy, and now they have certain achievements, and you intend to snatch this achievement directly?"
"Don't put it so ugly. Don't you want to give the high-and-mighty three major empires a fatal blow?"
Professor X immediately captured the key. He said, "A fatal blow? Just by you? Nur, it's not that I look down on you, you don't have this ability."
"Hmph." Apocalypse snorted coldly and said, "Of course it's not me taking action personally. Have you heard of the Life Fusion Project?"
Professor X knew the main show was coming. He said, "I've heard of it. What's wrong?"
"Heard a little about it? You really are as arrogant as ever." Apocalypse sneered and said, "This is a top-secret plan left behind by the old Skrull Empire. You couldn't possibly know about it, but I do. The final product of this plan once triggered the most severe experimental accident in the entire universe, directly wiping out an entire galaxy."
"What do you want to do?"
"As long as we get this experimental product and let it explode in any empire's capital galaxy, we can destroy all their leadership power in an instant. Even if we can't completely destroy them, we can at least take a big bite out of them while they are in chaos."
Professor X understood, but he still said, "Since this weapon is so strong, why don't you go get it yourself? Why come to us?"
"I'm not negotiating terms with you!" Apocalypse said in an icy voice, "You only have one choice, and that is to help me get it, and then I will give you the antidote! Otherwise, just wait for your dear students to die in pain!"
After saying this, Apocalypse had no movement anymore, seemingly disconnecting. Professor X sat in place and thought silently.
Something is wrong. They have stayed outside the galaxy for so long and haven't heard of any Life Fusion Project. How did Apocalypse know it? He even knew that this project had succeeded, and also knew that the experimental product was the culprit of the big explosion?
Especially the last point, in interstellar history, there is no clear record of what the source of that big explosion accident was. Most people think it is an unsolved mystery. How could Apocalypse, who has been staying on Earth, know such secret news?
Conversely, who could know this news and tell it to Apocalypse? This must be the big fish standing behind Apocalypse and Mr. Sinister.
Professor X had the answer in his heart.
