Chapter 4059
In less than a fraction of a second, several white lights suddenly lit up, and everyone in the Hellfire Club of the Prime Universe died without any ability to fight back. Even after returning to Battleworld, the White Queen's roar still echoed in their minds: "GO TO HELL!!!!!!"
The only one present with the ability to resist was Phoenix, but the White Queen is an Omega-level psychic. In the comics, her ability is not even to compete with Professor X, but to suppress Professor X. Once, in an instant, she destroyed the mental barrier set by Professor X. The vocabulary used in the comics is "very easy, effortless."
The mental attack of such a powerful psychic, even the Phoenix fragment in the Phoenix Girl's body, needed to use all her strength to deal with it. However, for Phoenix, only the uncontrolled form can use all her strength. That is, at this moment, Phoenix lost control.
The Phoenix Girl didn't have time to control it at all, and there was no way to report the news. The Phoenix Force directly ignited all the cosmic space around the central black hole; even the black hole couldn't absorb such destructive power.
And very unfortunately, the brainwave amplifier of the central universe was next to the central black hole.
Choosing this address is actually to protect the brainwave amplifier. After all, the vast majority of superheroes have no way to face a black hole. Magneto is basically invincible here, able to protect the brainwave amplifier very well.
But what they can think of, others can also think of. They feel that the central black hole has enough deterrence, and ordinary people won't get close; those who want to make trouble will also feel that this is a good place under the lamp, feeling that it is dangerous enough here, and no one will come, just suitable for some conspiracy. So the Black Queen and the others made an appointment with Phoenix here.
So when the Phoenix Force exploded, the first to bear the brunt was the brainwave amplifier. And the most fatal thing is that Magneto went to notify the White Queen and just happened not to be there.
Fortunately, the thing he built was sturdy enough; under the ravages of the Phoenix Force, it also persisted for a second or two, giving Charles of the central universe a chance to escape—to be precise, a chance to escape with only brainwaves; the physical body definitely couldn't run out.
Feeling the destructive Phoenix Force, Charles converted his life form at the fastest speed, hiding in the black hole in the form of brainwaves, barely escaping a disaster. But the brainwave amplifier was completely destroyed.
Fortunately, Battleworld is not judged by whether the physical body is destroyed. Existences like Professor X are considered alive even if they live in the form of brainwaves, so Charles was not sent back to the fountain. Even if a bit disheveled, at least he can recover; this is the only good news.
And at this time, on the outskirts of the Andromeda Galaxy, looking at the white light lit up in the center of the galaxy, the Arkham Batman narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, and then said: "The Prime Universe on the opposite side is simply full of flaws; it can be said to be their biggest breakthrough. I really don't know how this group of people became superheroes."
"Mutants are not superheroes at all. The Hellfire Club is even comparable to Arkham Asylum," Schiller said, "However, I didn't expect that Black Queen to be so stupid. You just provoked them casually, and she really believed it."
"I understand this kind of person," the Arkham Batman said lightly, "After I became president, there were many such elitists who tried to manipulate me behind the scenes. They just used their extreme thoughts to cover up their stupidity and weakness. A group of cowards who only know how to group together."
Schiller couldn't help but look at him. This sounded a bit arrogant, but coming from the Arkham Batman, it was an indisputable fact.
Elitism sounds like a thing, but in reality, in the long history of mankind, it has already been proven that this kind of doctrine is just a piece of fig leaf.
Monarchical centralization has advantages and disadvantages, and aristocratic "republicanism" is mostly more harm than good, with faults canceling out faults, and flaws not covering flaws. All similar political systems in all regions and all eras are put together, and you can't pick a piece of good meat, perfectly combining the excessive exploitation of monarchical centralization and the low efficiency of republicanism. This kind of ruling method that combines all the dregs can completely represent the bottom line of human political intelligence together with American-style democracy.
If you want to use the simplest language to explain this system, it is probably: a group of people who are not smart enough but think they are smart gather together to discuss a smarter decision, and try to use this decision to defeat truly smart people.
Obviously, in front of a truly smart person like Batman, this kind of alliance collapses at the first touch. Because an organization that can believe that IQ is 11>2, and treats this creed as a golden rule, and is complacent about it, the degree of threat is not even comparable to any single madman in Arkham Asylum.
After all, most madmen are invincible people without father, mother, or worries; while this group of elitists not only has industries and worries, but also actively organizes to cause trouble for each other. Batman throws something over, and they can beat each other's dog brains out themselves.
This time is the same; the Arkham Batman just took the initiative to contact the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club in the Prime Universe, first showed her a wave of strength, conducted a wave of strategic analysis, and then provided a little help, which led to this disaster in the center.
This group of them actually didn't enter the central area of the Andromeda Galaxy at all. In fact, they couldn't get in; even if they broke in, they might not be able to get out. They just injured the members of the Hellfire Club in the Prime Universe on the edge of the galaxy, and successfully fished them out.
"Let's go," the Arkham Batman took one last look at the Andromeda Galaxy and said, "Such a lesson is enough. The most powerful thing about armor is that everyone thinks it's impossible to break—as long as there is a crack, the sharp blade will follow."
Accompanied by the pitch-black Batmobile disappearing at the end of the universe, this sneak attack operation can be said to be a complete victory. Just as the Arkham Batman said, the most powerful thing about Professor X is actually not his mutant ability, but the legend about him circulating in the universe.
After having the super brainwave amplifier, Charles opened a psychic radio station in the universe, and all races with psychic sensing could hear his voice, covering the entire universe. This made all intelligent life in the universe deeply realize how powerful he was.
From ancient times to the present, no creature has ever been able to make his voice reach the universe. Professor X not only did it, but he also demonstrated the ability of precise psychic strikes within a single universe several times. Even the three major empires had no way to deal with him, and those who tried to counter-invade were just looking for their own death.
But this time, his brainwave amplifier was destroyed. Although it looked like just an accidental accident within the mutants, it also exposed the weakness of mutants—the only ones who can deal with mutants are mutants.
This is also the reason why Charles has such strict requirements for the mutants in the central universe. He knows deeply that it is not that the more powerful the mutant, the more stable. Even if the situation of mutants in this universe is already incredibly good, not only can they sit at the table to eat, but they can even be the first to use chopsticks, but this cannot cover up the fact that mutants are indeed unstable.
The so-called "not enough to correct the wrong," if it is not closely observed, understood at all times, and checked one by one, then the situation of losing control may still appear. And appearing in one case is fatal; this accident is the best proof.
But it is also because Charles controlled it too tightly, leading to the White Queen's pressure directly exploding, which led to this accident. Now it can only be said that "eat a trench, grow a wisdom," and the training of troops is effective.
When Professor X was fished out of the center of the black hole by Magneto, it can be said that he was very disheveled. Not only did he lose his body, but even his brainwaves were left with a trace, and his soul was so faint that it would dissipate at any time. Magneto had to put him into the original small brainwave amplifier; even so, he couldn't do the "showing off in front of people" like before; it's not bad to be able to hear a sound.
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Charles sighed and said: "Blame me; I shouldn't have forced them to see a doctor. When Schiller questioned me at that time, I should have given up. I feel he wasn't just stopping me because of medical ethics; he might have thought of today's situation."
Magneto didn't speak. He knew that in this situation, it was useless for him to say anything. He just put the small brainwave amplifier back into Charles's office. And at this time, the Avengers of the central universe had gathered outside the corridor.
Seeing that Charles didn't come back, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Before, when Magneto was suspected of dying, Charles was already a bit crazy; now Charles is suspected of dying, Magneto is estimated to be crazy too. Considering the stability of the universe, why don't you two die for love.
"Well, Erik, I feel very sorry," Scarlet Witch Wanda walked up first and said, "War always has sacrifices; the Professor must have been prepared. The Prime Universe Phoenix Girl is not his student, and her losing control is not something we can control..."
"He didn't die," Magneto said.
"Sure enough, another one went crazy," Stark whispered, "What is that thing he is holding in his hand? An urn? It turns out that being burned to death by the Phoenix Force can still leave ashes?"
Schiller, who had already had a conversation with Charles in the spiritual world, rolled his eyes. He walked out of the crowd, took the brainwave amplifier from Magneto's hand, and entered Charles's office.
"I will absolutely not let them take back Superman's soul so easily!" Charles's voice was hidden with anger, "I will make them pay the price."
"I'm afraid they won't want to exchange prisoners after learning of your serious injury," Schiller sighed and said, "Next is the time for each to rely on their own ability. However, their difficulty in saving people is much lower than ours; the guy on the opposite side who caught the mages is quite difficult to deal with."
"They don't want to save anyone from my hands," Charles said, "Superman's mental power is about to be exhausted; when they can't hold on, it is their death date."
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and someone shouted: "Urgent telegram from the Sanctum Sanctorum! The location of the Soul Stone has been discovered!"
