Chapter 349: S: The Radiant Event (24)

"I've discovered that the human civilization seems really lucky. We are not only born on such a habitable planet, but whenever we encounter any trouble, there is always a suitable way for us to solve it." In Stark's laboratory, Stark said while adjusting equipment.

"Perhaps, humanity is luckier than you imagine." Schiller said while writing medical records. Stark looked up at him, and Schiller asked: "For example, what do you want to do most right now?"

Before Stark could speak, Schiller said first: "I guess you must want to go take a look at the planetary warship that still has some remains left after being blown up by the star."

Stark waved his hand and said: "No scientist can refuse this opportunity. Actually, I think its wreckage has more reference value than the complete body, because when those energies turn all the parts that aren't strong enough into ash, I can see the overall support structure of the planetary warship."

"To build such a huge warship, just the gravity problem is hard to overcome. If there isn't a good support structure, it's impossible to run at all."

"Many people think that the anti-gravity system and propulsion are the key parts, but for me, as long as there is enough energy, this part is easy to solve. But what has always troubled me is the most basic structural problem."

"Just like your armor?"

Stark raised an eyebrow, looked at Schiller with some surprise, and said: "You finally know more than just how to screw in a lightbulb?"

Then he lowered his head and said while writing: "That's right. Sometimes, I wish I could change the shape of my limbs to adapt to my armor and exert more functions."

"I told you long ago, don't get involved with this kind of demon god." Quicksilver shook his head, his expression very disapproving, but Wanda said: "The chaos power he lent me is indeed quite easy to use, and the price I have to pay is just running errands for him. It's just that he's been urging me too urgently recently, which is why I'm a bit irritable."

"But unfortunately, I'm afraid it will be a long time before I can go up and take a look. After all, even if my armor can resist part of the radiation, the temperature up there is deadly enough."

"That's why I said humanity is luckier than you imagine. Isn't this a coincidence? There just happens to be an Omega-level mutant whose ability is to ignore physical rules and reorganize molecules into ice..."

"And what's more coincidental is that he has a very good object to learn from."

Stark said thoughtfully: "Dense ice?"

"That's right. Just yesterday, Banner told me that after his explanation, Iceman Bobby has made great progress, not just laying ice cubes under other people's feet."

"He can use the principle of water molecule dissipation to instantly cool down an area. Non-toxic, harmless, no side effects, convenient, efficient, and sustainable."

Stark touched his chin and said with some confusion: "It seems that ever since Magneto blew up the star, those mutant students have been working much harder. What's wrong with them? Suddenly enlightened?"

"Perhaps, it's Magneto letting them see that the future of mutants isn't just on Earth." Schiller closed the medical record book and put it aside.

Polaris took her hand off the textbook, stood up from her chair, and moved her somewhat stiff shoulders and neck. Havok poked his head over and asked her: "You finished your homework? How so fast?"

"Because this is physics homework, and it's about electromagnetic induction." Polaris stretched out her hand, and as her wrist moved, electric sparks crackled between her fingers.

She flipped her palm, looked at her hand, and said: "Quite interesting, isn't it?"

"Alright, I was wondering why your sweater has been so static-y lately. Can't you stay away from this kind of wool fabric before you play with electricity?"

Polaris withdrew her hand and glanced at her clothes. It was a dark gray sweater, and at this moment, the fluff on it was standing up, making her look like a hedgehog.

At this time, Iceman walked in with a phone. Polaris asked him: "You just ran out with your phone, what's wrong? Who called you?"

"I have a new mission. I have to take people to look at the planetary warship that was blown up by the star explosion and only has a few remains left. Anyway, it's that group of scientists going for a field trip again, I'm just responsible for clearing the way."

Hearing Iceman say this, Polaris's expression was a bit hesitant. Havok looked at his face and said: "You don't want to go, do you? This won't work, you aren't Magneto, and you can't create ice to cool yourself down..."

"Uh, if you guys want to go, I can take you there too. Anyway, protecting one person and protecting several people isn't much different."

"Polaris, Professor Charles is looking for you, seems like there's a new mission." Blink suddenly appeared beside them. Polaris nodded and then left. When she arrived at Professor X's office, Charles was already waiting for her.

"Lorna, here is a new topic, consider it your extra homework." Charles handed a stack of documents to Polaris. After Polaris opened them, she asked with some confusion: "... Black holes? We haven't learned this yet, right?"

"That's why I said it's extra homework. I believe you have the ability to complete it. After all, you are also a master of magnetic force."

Polaris lowered her eyes. She looked down at her toes and then said: "Yesterday I tried..."

"Tried what?"

"Just... like he did in the classroom that day, creating a sun..."

"You succeeded?"

Polaris shook her head and said: "No, I have no idea how to ignite that kind of flame, and every time I want to try, I quickly run out of energy. My energy is simply not enough to support me doing this kind of thing."

"Actually, I think you don't have to grope in the dark like this. Why don't you ask your father what techniques are involved?"

Polaris tilted her head, seemingly not wanting to talk. Charles said: "I know, you still resent him for abandoning you and your mother. Wanda and Quicksilver also care about this point. Even though I am Erik's friend, I have to admit, he is not a good husband, nor is he a good father..."

"But recently, a friend of mine gave me a new perspective. If you treat him as a mental patient, you will feel that he is actually not bad. My friend is a psychology professor, and he feels Erik might suffer from Asperger's syndrome."

"What is that?"

"Simply put, it's the inability to understand others' emotions, social difficulties, stereotyped behaviors, limited interests..."

Polaris covered her forehead and said: "That really sounds like him."

"Thinking about it this way, don't you feel that he seems to be okay to you?"

Polaris pursed her lips for a while and said: "How do you think I should... I mean..."

She let out a sigh and said: "Alright, I admit, his actions that day gave me a huge shock. I never thought magnetic force was such a powerful ability."

"Looking at it this way, he didn't kill that red-haired girl and her brother, which is already good enough for them." Polaris said unpleasantly.

"Don't be like that, Lorna, they are your brother and sister."

"Alright, I'll go ask him, but I feel that, mostly it will be the same as before, whatever I say, he won't listen."

After Polaris left, Charles shook his head. Immediately after, he made another phone call. Not long after, Quicksilver appeared in his office. He said: "Professor, you looking for me?"

"Yes, I want to ask, where did your sister go? Last time you said she wasn't on Earth?"

"Oh, her mental state wasn't very good before, seems like she often had nightmares or something. Then one day, she left in a hurry, seems like she was called by someone."

Seeing Charles's worried expression, Quicksilver comforted him: "It's okay, Professor, Wanda is very strong. Even if there is any danger, she can definitely run back."

"Alright, you go back first."

The next day, Polaris appeared in front of her desk holding a Christmas snow globe. She put down her schoolbag and then carefully placed the snow globe on the table. Havok saw the snow globe and asked with confusion: "What is this? Who gave it to you? It's not Christmas yet."

"Don't worry about it." Polaris sat in her seat and picked up the snow globe.

That snow globe was a bit strange, because inside it wasn't a Christmas house with snow, nor a reindeer sculpture, but a strange little black dot.

Havok poked his head over, wanting to see clearly what that little black dot was. Iceman also looked over curiously. Polaris held up the snow globe and muttered to herself: "Theoretically speaking, it should be like this..."

Just as she exerted force, Quicksilver rushed into the classroom at his usual jogging speed. In the past, he should have disappeared in an instant, but this time, with a "bang," he fell to the ground, and then let out a miserable "ow" scream.

The three people in the first row all looked down at him. Polaris looked at the snow globe in her hand, showed a happy expression, and said: "Didn't expect black holes to have this function."

"That's a black hole?" Havok asked in disbelief. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said: "Did your father give you this?"

Polaris didn't answer, just drove her magnetic force again. Quicksilver, who had just stood up and wanted to run out, was like a dog whose tail had been grabbed, kicking his legs but unable to move.

Polaris laughed happily, but Quicksilver couldn't laugh anymore.

After this, Polaris took the research prop Magneto gave her, a micro black hole, and tormented Quicksilver every day.

She could use magnetic force to slightly excite the black hole's gravity, and the black hole's gravity could grab Quicksilver while he was running. Polaris and this brother had always disliked each other. The two had fought several times in the past few days, but in the end, Polaris always had the upper hand, because Quicksilver, besides speed, really didn't have any powerful means of attack.

This day, Polaris was the same, holding that snow globe and pinning Quicksilver to the ground, but just as she was about to activate the snow globe again, a female voice came: "Stop."

Instantly, the magnetic field that had just been excited by the snow globe was suppressed back. Polaris hurriedly adjusted the chaotic magnetic field around her to prevent it from exploding.

A red-haired woman walked out from a rift, surrounded by misty magical power. Polaris looked her up and down and said: "Wanda?"

Quicksilver climbed up from the ground. He spat twice, spitting out the grass clippings in his mouth. Wanda rolled her eyes at Polaris, but didn't seem to intend to argue with her sister, because she knew that if Polaris really wanted to hurt Quicksilver, Quicksilver wouldn't just be pinned to the ground.

Wanda patted Quicksilver on the shoulder and said: "Take me to the Sanctum Sanctorum."

"Sanctum Sanctorum, where is that?"

"How would I know, but it must be somewhere on Earth."

"Wanda, you're back?" Charles appeared on the playground in his wheelchair. Wanda nodded and said: "Good morning, Professor, do you know where the Sanctum Sanctorum is?"

"Sanctum Sanctorum? I've heard Strange mention it, seems like it's on Wall Street. What are you going to the Sanctum Sanctorum for?"

"Sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'll explain to you when I get back. Quicksilver, let's go."

Quicksilver picked up Wanda, and in an instant, the two of them disappeared.

In the Sanctum Sanctorum, Strange was looking at a form. Suddenly, with a "whoosh," a shadow slid past him.

Strange turned in a circle on the spot, saw nothing, and then turned back to see a man and a woman standing behind him.

Just as he was about to say something, Wanda reached out to stop him and said: "Hello, may I ask if you are the Sorcerer Supreme Strange?"

"I am Strange, but I am not the Sorcerer Supreme."

"Alright, that's correct. Listen, there is a demon god named Chthon who asked me to come to the Sanctum Sanctorum to ask you a question..."

g.

"What question?"

"Recently, the chaos power of the universe's origin has been lost very severely. Do you have any clues?"
