Chapter 3132

~10 min read 1,908 words

Another morning, everyone got up early today because there was a major task today, which was for the ladies to try on their wedding dresses.

Actually, the groom's attire and the groomsmen's attire were incidental; the wedding dress was the biggest trouble in terms of styling.

From head to toe, counting all the accessories, the suit was less than ten pieces, but the wedding dress alone, just in terms of clothing parts, could easily exceed 50 pieces.

If it were a one-piece wedding dress, it would be fine, but to follow tradition and also for better effect, all the brides adopted split-style, on-site fixed wedding dresses.

That is to say, when the wedding dress arrived, it was still in parts and needed to be assembled on the bride on-site.

Excluding underwear, first was the silk lining, then the waist padding, the belt for fixing the skirt bones, the skirt bones fixed to the waist to support the skirt, the thick fabric to reflect the texture of the skirt, the thick tulle stacked to create layers, the thin tulle to reflect the ethereal feeling, the lace for decoration, the silk ribbon to fix the lace into shape...

For the head, one had to do the hairstyle first. One's own hair volume was not enough, so hair extensions were needed. To make the hairstyle look good, one might also use some fake hair buns or fake hair knots, and then start trying on the veil.

The veil wasn't just put on the head and finished. First was the large veil, which was the train veil. This thing was very heavy and needed to be fixed in the hair in a very bizarre way, and it couldn't be crooked, otherwise, it would be pulled more and more crooked.

Then there was the small veil, which was the veil decorated on the top or side of the head. This required professionals to shape some tulle and then fix it, and the shape often needed multiple adjustments.

Did you think this was the end? This was actually just the beginning. There was another most terrifying task—selecting and wearing jewelry.

Generally, many Hollywood stars get married wearing whatever the designer designs, and the jewelry is naturally matched.

But Stark's side is different. No one's status is higher than his. He wants both freedom and aesthetics. He has to pick every form of the wedding dress himself, and he has to pick the jewelry himself, and the designer still has to ensure the matching looks good.

Whenever Schiller, who was helping on the side, felt that he was about to drown in the ocean of white tulle and pearls, he would look at the designer's indescribable expression and immediately feel that he wasn't having such a hard time after all.

The ladies were not without aesthetic sense, but since there was room for selection, they definitely had to pick carefully. They would try this for a while, try that for a while, you take one for me to wear, I take one for you to wear, you praise me, I praise you.

To what extent did this process stimulate them? Carter, who had been pale and struggling to walk a few days ago, was able to pick here for four hours. Adrenaline really needs to be cursed at Natalu before it can leave.

And all the men could not leave because the ladies needed opinions, and not the kind of perfunctory praise, but sincere opinions.

But actually, at least in Schiller's view, jewelry could probably only be divided into those that looked like glass and those that looked like pearls. At most, some were colored glass and pearls, some had more glass and pearls, some had less, and the rest he really couldn't tell.

He could only sit there, watching the ladies enter a mysterious space, then walk out "intact," and ask him which one looked better, this one or the last one.

Greed really wanted to call Morbid over.

Later, he really couldn't bear it anymore. When Pepper walked out of the fitting room again and her eyes fell on him, he asked directly: "How much is the necklace you're wearing worth?"

"I don't know." Pepper looked down, estimated in her heart, and said: "The size of these pearls is a bit small, I guess about 90,000 US dollars."

Eddie on the side spat out a mouthful of water.

Pepper was only wearing a thin pearl necklace around her neck, not the kind of exaggerated and dazzling jewelry. This thing actually cost 90,000 US dollars?

"What about the last one?" Schiller asked again.

"Oh, that one definitely wasn't that cheap. I guess it must have been over a million, right?"

Eddie almost choked himself to death again. Is this a necklace I'm qualified to evaluate?

"Then the last one looked better." Schiller said.

Pepper rolled her eyes and said: "I'm letting you look at the style, not the price."

"I like styles with high prices." Schiller said very sincerely.

As for why Schiller and Eddie stayed here, it could only be said that their good habit of not smoking was a bit of a hindrance here.

After waiting for a while, Stark finally returned. He let out an exclamation of surprise when he saw Pepper, and the two huddled together to study the pearl necklace on her neck.

Soon Steve and Ma Te also returned, and Schiller and Eddie could finally change shifts.

When the two of them came to the balcony, they found that the balcony guardian Nick was smoking happily.

"See, this is the benefit of not having a wife." Nick exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "I can't tell the difference between those necklaces at all."

"But you'd better show them some respect." Eddie had to say, "The bills you racked your brains to reimburse might not even be as expensive as one of the pearls on them."

Nick smiled and said: "That's definitely not because the pearls are too expensive, but because I reimbursed too little."

Eddie really admired him.

Schiller picked up his phone. Ultron had been live-streaming some situations in the Andromeda Galaxy to him via text.

Soon he sent a message.

"Apocalypse seems to be trying to hack into the cameras. Should I stop him?"

Hack into the cameras? Schiller thought, it's probably Apocalypse wanting to use the cameras to observe the situation inside the Andromeda Galaxy. He's not too stupid yet.

"Stop him." Schiller said: "Although I think Beast would definitely stop him too, you can help them out."

After a pause of a few seconds, Ultron sent a message saying: "The hacking method is very unfamiliar, definitely not Earth technology."

"He has one of the three great empires behind him. Can you stop him? Or should I call Jarvis?"

"That's not necessary, a piece of cake." Ultron's text revealed disdain, and he said: "Good technology also depends on who uses it. This guy seems to be using an anti-aircraft gun to cut vegetables."

Ultron didn't respond for a long time, so Schiller put down his phone and looked into the distance to relax his eyes. After looking at so many wedding dresses, he was almost getting snow blindness.

About two minutes later, Ultron sent another message, saying: "It's a good thing you let me take action. The technology on the mutant side couldn't completely intercept it, but I helped them out. Now the Andromeda Galaxy network is completely closed."

"Will he show his face?"

"I don't know, I just saw a few mutants heading over there... oh, it seems their mutant abilities have gone out of control."

Schiller immediately guessed Professor X's intention. He tapped the back of his phone with his finger, thinking that Apocalypse is worthy of being the X-Men's old rival, having already been thoroughly figured out by Professor X.

The two mutants Professor X chose to play the role of having out-of-control abilities were Sunspot and Havok. The reason was none other than that once they lost control, the scene would be quite grand, making it easier for people to see that they had lost control.

Sunspot actually wasn't an X-Man; he was a student in Ma Te's youth hero training class and also a reserve member of the Avengers. The Avengers didn't know he was a mutant at first, thinking he was just a youth with superpowers. However, he was later brought to the Andromeda Galaxy by Professor X as a key cultivation object.

As soon as Sunspot arrived, he began to absorb the star's energy and then began to use sunspot flares. His body turned pitch black, but his whole body emitted incomparably brilliant light.

Havok was not to be outdone, continuously releasing huge shockwaves. After absorbing the star's energy, he could even directly shatter a planet.

The two rarely had the opportunity to cause destruction under orders, and they knew that there were still many mutants watching here, so they used all their strength. This star was also very unlucky; it was almost sucked dry before long.

Professor X sat steadily in his office, counting down silently in his heart, "Three, two, one..."

"Professor X, are you alright?" A low and slightly smiling voice rang in his ears.

Magneto looked over immediately. It wasn't that he heard this voice; he just noticed the change in Professor X's expression.

"I'm not bad." Professor X said.

"Is that so? Do you know what your students encountered on the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy? Their abilities have started to go out of control..."

"What?!" Professor X's tone was flustered, but his expression was peaceful. If one looked closely, one could still see a cold storm in those clear blue eyes.

Apocalypse, who was hiding behind a planet not far from the Andromeda Galaxy, let out a wanton laugh. He was really happy. How many years had it been? He finally managed to get back at the two mutant leaders, Professor X and Magneto, who were in cahoots!

Apocalypse had gray-black skin, a strong and tall figure, and was currently wearing a suit of silver armor, but was emitting a contemptuous laugh that didn't match this majestic body.

"Hahahahaha... uh!!!!"

The laughter stopped abruptly, followed by a sharp scream.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!"

Apocalypse clutched his head and screamed wildly. The moment he screamed, a black wormhole opened beside him, and Magneto flew out from it.

"Got you."

The electromagnetic field trapped the tall body. Magneto grabbed Apocalypse and returned to the office through the wormhole. Professor X was currently wearing a brainwave amplifier.

Apocalypse was not like Nathaniel. This guy was one of the oldest mutants. Although he had never won against the two mutant leaders, he had indeed caused some troubles that gave them headaches.

And since he had to lure the New Skrull Empire people here later, he was a key figure and could not afford any mistakes. So Professor X directly used the brainwave amplifier to ensure that he would be thoroughly brainwashed.

But soon he stopped and frowned. Magneto looked at him and asked: "What's wrong?"

"The Skrulls are more cunning than I thought. They might have guessed that I have a way to forcibly control Apocalypse. They put an alarm device in his brain. Once his mental world is subjected to a powerful attack, the alarm will sound."

"Then what should we do?"

Professor X thought for a while and said: "Go get David. I have an idea."
