Chapter 3949

~10 min read 1,997 words

Schiller knows very well that for an enemy who can be hurt by bullets, a gun is the best choice. But there are too many people in this world who can't be hurt by bullets, such as mutants. At this time, the fierce reputation left by other personality traits in Battleworld turned from a bad thing into a good thing, at least the deterrent power was full.

Schiller jumped off the roof of the car and walked to Magneto. The eyes of this old man hidden in the shadow of the helmet gap looked as deep as ever, and when he narrowed them slightly, the fine lines around the eyes looked like stacked swords, vicissitudes and sharp.

"Why are you here?" He opened his mouth and asked.

"Of course I'm here to find you for something," Schiller smiled and said indifferently, "Let's go in and talk."

After speaking, he put on his hat and continued to walk inside. Magneto's footsteps paused, but soon walked into the X-Men base.

What made Schiller a bit surprised was that the X-Men were fully armed, and their expressions looked very nervous. When they saw that the person walking in was a stranger, not Magneto, they were stunned collectively.

Schiller stepped aside, letting the group of the Brotherhood of Mutants come in. Magneto walked at the front, and stopped when he saw Professor X sitting in the wheelchair, saying in a low voice: "Long time no see, Charles."

Very good, Schiller thought in his heart, it seems that the Professor X and Magneto of the main universe haven't made up yet, at least not on the surface, of course it's also possible that they are pretending not to.

Spider-Man said before that in order to open up the multiverse, the Avengers talked to the mutants. Now it seems that they only have cooperation with the X-Men, and it seems they haven't handled the Brotherhood of Mutants yet.

"Long time no see, Erik. I didn't expect you to bring a new friend. He is..."

"Sorry, I'm not a mutant," Schiller took off his hat again. Professor X's pupils shrank. However, the Professor X of the comic universe will also wear a spherical helmet with an X pattern in combat form, and no one can see his expression.

However, through his body movements, Schiller also knew that he was probably also startled. This is good, the two have a common "enemy", and can directly skip the links of turning over old accounts, philosophical discussions, and interest negotiations, and enter the reconciliation state in a fire.

"God," Professor X said, "Why are you here?"

"This question shouldn't be asked by you, Professor," Schiller's tone was very light, and he said, "You should know better than anyone what happened in your universe. I will come here sooner or later."

Professor X paused slightly and then said: "Alright, it is indeed like this. It's just that you came faster than I estimated."

"Fast enough that you haven't had time to discuss whether to advance and retreat with the Avengers? I'm afraid you have no choice," Schiller shook his head and said, "Everyone in a single universe is a natural interest community. Even if you discuss it for days and nights, you will only get this conclusion. Then let's skip these cumbersome steps and talk directly about the key problem—Ultron."

Professor X and Magneto looked at each other without a trace. Although there was no brainwave communication, the efficiency of their eye communication was not low. Only Magneto opened his mouth and said: "When the radio waves erupted near Long Island, I had already noticed it. But I didn't have time to do too much."

"That is to say, you still did something."

"Simon Williams," Magneto spat out a name—exactly Wonder Man's name.

Schiller frowned slightly: "Is he still alive?"

"Can't be considered alive, it has become so weak that no one can feel him except me." Magneto stretched out a hand. There was actually nothing in his hand, and Schiller couldn't see anything, but he knew Magneto wasn't the kind of person who would joke. He said there was, so there must be.

"Only these are left," Magneto sounded a bit emotional, "That electronic life form took away the vast majority of ions, and the remaining ones can't even constitute a complete radio wave. I am trying to restore him, but whether it can succeed is not certain."

"What's the use of him?" Schiller asked a very realistic question.

"If he can be restored to a complete radio wave, he can take us to find Ultron," Magneto said, "They were originally one, longing to be restored to completeness. And this incompleteness is also Ultron's fatal flaw—losing the driving force of complete life gathering inward, becoming more inclined to disperse..."

This sounds a bit roundabout, but Schiller still understood his meaning, and he said: "At the critical moment of his transformation, you hurt him, causing him to change from complete to broken, and at the same time took away one of the pieces, making it impossible for him to become complete forever."

"That's right," Magneto nodded and said.

"This is easy to handle," Schiller looked at Professor X again and said, "With this, you have bargaining chips to negotiate with Batman, perhaps you can remove yourself from this accident. But you must also be clear that the Avengers have no way back. Once they choose to fight, it's hard for you to stay out of it."

"The X-Men will choose to stand with them," Professor X said, "I know this sounds terrible, knowing they are wrong, still choosing to stand on their side, instead of helping the victim Batman to seek justice. But we have no choice."

"Just like you said, the interests of everyone in a single universe are naturally bundled together. If the universe has a problem, everyone has to bear the consequences. Batman is too dangerous, we can't let them mess around in our universe. The best result is to block them outside the universe."

"You can do it, Professor. You are too powerful, and Batman has to respect you three points. But this doesn't mean Batman will give up—he always has a way to do what he wants."

"Yeah," Professor X sighed and said, "Unless we never leave our own single universe, otherwise we will always have to confront him. But that's the Avengers' business, I can only do so much."

Schiller looked at Magneto again. Magneto nodded, indicating that he also agreed with Professor X. Schiller has now figured out the position of the mutants: although they seem to be standing on the side of the Avengers, fighting against Batman together, they will only block the dangerous elements of the neighboring world outside their own universe, and will not do any extra things. That is to say, they tend to defend, just like a defensive tower in a game; if you don't come in, I won't hit you.

These two peerless masters expressed their positions, and it is absolutely impossible for Batman to come hard. Professor X and Magneto's abilities are too heaven-defying, and they occupy the home field advantage; the Justice League really doesn't need to fight them head-on.

However, if you don't let them enter the tower, there is still the jungle. The Doctor Strange of this universe wants to compete for the leader of the multiverse; if he keeps hiding under the tower, won't the wild monsters in the jungle be brushed away by others? By then, don't mention the leader, even a sip of soup won't be drunk.

In order to improve his status in the multiverse, he must run around to win support, even the main universe Batman had no less of this link at the beginning. But he once leaves the protection range of his own universe, Batman can take action against him; if he doesn't leave, then his leader dream will be soaked.

The mutants' original intention is also like this. They don't allow Batman to come in, essentially they don't allow the Avengers to go out, using the leader position that might be competed for, in exchange for Batman to raise his hand high.

This is actually the most beneficial to the mutants, because if the Avengers really get the leader position of the multiverse alliance, maybe they will oppress them internally, making their living space smaller. So taking this opportunity to force the Avengers to give up competing is really a good move that kills many birds with one stone.

"Since you have this, I think clearing Ultron shouldn't be a difficult task," Schiller looked at Magneto's empty hands and said, "I advise you to go to Stark Tower to see, Jarvis might have a problem. If you don't help Iron Man, this might become the last straw that crushes him, his going crazy is not good for anyone."

Magneto frowned, obviously not expecting Ultron to have developed to this point. He looked at Professor X again, and Professor X nodded to him. So Magneto opened the wormhole and disappeared with the Brotherhood of Mutants.

"Alright, Professor, now we can talk," Schiller said, "I believe that sticking to the universe is not your original intention, just a compromise made to the Brotherhood of Mutants. Regarding the Avengers and Batman, do you have any other ideas?"

"It seems you know me very well," Professor X's tone was still gentle, but obviously acquiesced to Schiller's view of him.

"I think this might be an opportunity," Professor X paused and said, "We can take this opportunity to establish the prototype of the multiverse alliance. And if we can fight a beautiful victory, then the mistake will no longer be a mistake, but an engine for take-off. We can get more because of this."

Schiller sneered in his heart, sure enough, he is a member of the Illuminati, no one in this organization is a fuel-efficient lamp, one counts as one, all are crazy careerists.

"Alright, Professor, if you think so, it seems a big war is inevitable. But do you really want to fight here?"

"I was just about to tell you this," Professor X said, "You can't deny the role of war in promoting human development. Erik has always been very resistant to this because of his past, so he is more inclined to stick to it. But this is not a way, we must take the initiative."

"For example?"

"For example, any American should know that a war far from the mainland is the best war. This war should be fought, but it must not be fought on our turf. We must let Batman attack other universes, and then we go to support, so that in addition to keeping our own universe, we can also add a powerful ally for ourselves in the multiverse."

"The idea is good, but how do you plan to achieve it?" Schiller asked, "Batman must already know that you are the culprits, how do you plan to lead the disaster to the east and let him attack other universes?"

Professor X shook his head and said: "I don't need to lead the disaster to the east. There is never a shortage of careerists in the multiverse, everyone knows that whoever wins the fight there, whoever is the talker of the multiverse in the future. There will be many people who want to be this boss, right?"

Schiller narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "But not everyone has this strength. Once it is messed up, everyone will be unlucky together. So you must still choose a powerful one."

"Of course, of course..." Professor X nodded and said, "I contacted the Professor X of that universe through the Battleworld system. But whether to accept the mission or not depends on themselves."

Schiller heard what he said, and had a bad premonition in his heart; intuition was telling him: someone is playing a big game of chess, and someone just fell for it.
