Chapter 4729

Schiller walked quickly through the corridor, and after preparing everything in the prep room, he came quickly to the operating room. He hadn't even seen Charles lying on the operating table yet when he felt the increasingly intense brainwave fluctuations.

"What the hell is going on?" Schiller walked over to check Charles's state, then looked at the fully armed Strange beside him and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"That is exactly what I want to ask you." Strange's movements didn't stop, he just turned his eyes slightly to look at the ECG monitor beside him, "Professor X's brainwave problem is faithfully reflected in his heart rate, and now the heart rate is fluctuating greatly." The other doctors' faces were all very ugly, and only Strange, with his high level of skill and boldness, dared to continue the surgery.

"No matter what method you use, stabilize him." During the surgery, Strange's voice had no emotional change, almost like the electronic broadcast sound from the instrument; he was like a machine without feelings. He reached out, took the scalpel handed by the assistant, and said without raising his head, "You have at most three minutes."

"Let me see." Schiller didn't say much; he walked to the other side of the operating table, avoided Strange's arm, leaned down, flipped open Professor X's eyelid, and then seemed to be feeling something.

"In this state, he cannot actively invite me into his mental realm; I can only use some forceful means. Gray Mist!"

Gray mist emanated from Schiller's hand, but Strange immediately scolded, "Take it further away, don't block my line of sight!"

Before the mist could spread, it had already burrowed into Professor X's body and then began to head toward his brain. This physical mental invasion took effect quickly, and the next second, Schiller had already appeared in Professor X's mental realm.

But strangely, it was not as calm as it used to be. In the pitch-black cosmic space, a storm was brewing. That was not just Professor X's brainwaves, but also Magneto's.

Schiller understood what was going on almost immediately, but understanding alone was not enough; he had to find a way to solve this problem. Following the fluctuations of magnetism and brainwaves, he flew all the way to the place where the fluctuations were strongest. But the closer he got to the center, the more violent the storm became, and even he could not be completely immune.

The top priority was to get one of the parties to calm down quickly. He didn't know if it would work, but Schiller still said to the empty space, "Magneto, if you continue to act, Charles Xavier will surely die."

That's right, these two entangled forces were Professor X and Magneto dueling. Professor X had brought Magneto into his own mental realm, but for some reason, the two had started fighting, which led to Professor X being ambushed, and then presenting such a strange brainwave state during resuscitation.

After Schiller finished shouting, he frowned and waited. After a few seconds, the violent power gradually dissipated, Professor X's true brainwaves finally revealed themselves, and Schiller heard his tired voice.

"I'm sorry, Erik. I never thought about sacrificing myself for Scott; that wasn't my plan, it really was just an accident. You must let me leave here, otherwise, others will worry."

Magneto didn't reply at all. Schiller had to follow up, "No matter what happened between the two of you, please stop arguing immediately. Professor X's state is very dangerous, and this surgery cannot afford any mistakes."

"Perhaps you don't know, but the Stephen Strange performing surgery on Professor X is the Doctor Strange of the Central Universe. He has never experienced a car accident, and the success rate of his surgery is near perfect. He is my friend and came at my invitation. He cannot fail at this time."

"I understand completely," Professor X chimed in, "There are some misunderstandings between Erik and me, but this cannot affect you. It's back to normal now, you leave first."

"No, I'm taking him away." Schiller said firmly, "No matter what misunderstandings you have, now is definitely not a good time for explanations and arguments. I must separate you; Magneto has to come with me."

"The problem now is that I can't get him to stop." Professor X sighed and said, "The vast majority of carbon-based life forms cannot adapt to existing only as a mental entity; after a long time, their mental entities will develop various problems. Magneto's loss of control is also partly due to this. Only I can control him now."

"No." Schiller said, "You connect to my mental realm now and send him into the Gao Ta; I can control him."

Professor X revealed a feeling of doubt, and Schiller opened the mental realm access permission to him. Professor X connected immediately, and although he didn't go deep, he immediately realized that this could not be an ordinary doctor. His fame in the Battleworld must have been earned by himself.

He had indeed thought about this before, because Schiller behaved very normally, like an ordinary person who was focused on helping them solve troubles and liked to watch the fun. At most, his methods were a bit radical and his personality a bit nasty. But Professor X had seen too many weirdos in his life, and the previous Schiller couldn't be ranked among them.

But as an expert in the field of psychology, after connecting to Schiller's mental realm, Professor X immediately understood that the ordinary doctor with no superpowers was all fake. This guy was abnormal from beginning to end.

"You cannot guarantee that you won't hurt him." Professor X was still a bit unwilling, "There are indeed some misunderstandings between us, but he didn't want to hurt me. I know you might not do it actively, but some of the safety measures needed to suppress him might be very intense."

"You have no choice," Schiller looked into his eyes and said, "If you really die, he will only feel more guilty. Isn't that right?"

With just this one sentence, Professor X was completely convinced. Schiller asked further, "Where is he?"

"Right here, this storm is him." Professor X said.

"Alright, leave it to me." Schiller nodded. He turned into gray mist, used the gray mist to carry his own brainwaves, shrunk the storm bit by bit, and finally successfully pulled it into his own mental world and stuffed it into the Gao Ta.

The Gao Ta could indeed play a certain suppressive role, but it mainly relied on other personality traits to suppress it. As Professor X said, the process was indeed a bit intense, but in the end, it suppressed this out-of-control magnetic storm.

"Alright." Schiller came back to his senses, looked at Strange, and said, "You continue the surgery, I'm going to ask Magneto what happened."

Strange didn't speak, just gave him a look. After Schiller left, he returned to his room to take a short break, and then prepared to find Magneto to ask about the course of events.

"You've woken up?" In the Gao Ta's reception room, Schiller looked at Magneto and asked, "Why did you suddenly lose control?"

Magneto pursed his lips and didn't speak; he seemed to be still recalling what had just happened. Schiller wasn't in a hurry either. After waiting for a while, Magneto finally opened his mouth and said, "Charles has a plan."

"What does he want to do?"

"He knew he couldn't stop Scott from participating in the Shi'ar Empire's coup, but he didn't want Scott to lose himself in the vortex of power desire. You know, this is very possible. That is the power center of the three major empires; wealth is dazzling."

"He doesn't believe Scott can stick to his original intention?"

"If it were just him, perhaps he could. But don't forget, there is also a younger brother he feels deeply guilty about. Charles knows Scott very well. For compensation, he would do anything. This easily makes him sink deeper and deeper, eventually losing himself completely."

"So he intends to..."

"He wanted to control the people of the Shi'ar Empire to stage an attack, and the target of the attack was him. Of course, it wasn't to alienate the two brothers, but to give Scott a reasonable reason to take revenge. Although this would make his source of motivation turn into hatred, the fundamental motivation is still love and protection. When he completes his revenge, the desire in his heart will weaken a lot, which can keep him clear-headed."

"This situation is indeed difficult to have the best of both worlds, and this can be considered a relatively good solution. So where is the problem?"

"The problem is that I didn't agree," Magneto said, "I have been staying in his brainwaves, clearly knowing all his plans. I strongly opposed him creating an opportunity through self-injury, but he wouldn't listen to me at all."

"At that time, he was already being watched. You know, he had stayed in the Shi'ar Empire and was once a target of public criticism. After the news of Vulcan's usurpation, it was the news of Charles's appearance, which would definitely make others think more."

"Indeed. So this attack was also..."

"After the Phoenix loss of control and galaxy destruction incident, the Shi'ar Empire also had a very perfect plan to defend against mutants, which is also the reason why Charles didn't want Scott to go deep into it. We suspect that the Shi'ar Empire might also have stockpiled Prime Sentinels. It turns out we were right; the laser that hurt Charles was a weapon of some Sentinel robot."

Schiller frowned slightly and said, "The situation is complicated now. Who do you think gave them the Sentinel robots?"

"It's hard to say," Magneto shook his head and said, "Many people on Earth have connections with the Shi'ar Empire, including the Avengers. The Illuminati can even contact the Royal Guard directly. If they have cooperated before, the Shi'ar Empire will definitely make similar requests. The damage mutants have caused them is too great; in order to deal with mutants, they will stop at nothing."

"You fought with him to stop Charles."

"I admit I was too angry, so I lost control. This loss of control is irreparable; I couldn't restrain my mental state well, to the point that I almost harmed Charles."

"That group of people wasn't prepared by him?"

"No. It's a group of extreme anti-mutants within the Shi'ar Empire. They wanted to assassinate Charles back then, but didn't succeed. Hearing news of them again this time, they must be like hyenas smelling blood."

"But they didn't manage to kill him. If, as you said, there really were Prime Sentinels, could the Professor have survived in that situation?"

"They wanted to kill him, but wanted to capture him alive even more. The main function of Charles's fourth-generation brainwave amplifier is not to amplify brainwaves, but to store the consciousness of mutants. Do you know what this means?"

Schiller understood: "They want to obtain the consciousness of mutants, but without genes, how can they resurrect mutants?"

"I don't know about that. But they were indeed planning to capture Charles alive. It's just fortunate that Scott arrived in time; he sent Charles back, and you performed surgery on him. The Shi'ar Empire's conspiracy will not succeed."

"I'm afraid not," Schiller said, "They will soon know that Scott is the student the Professor values most. As long as they lay a hand on him, the Professor will definitely show up. The most important thing now is Vulcan's attitude; as long as he protects his brother, the problem won't be big. But if he doesn't want to try his best, or fails to protect him, you will have to go to the Shi'ar Empire again sooner or later."
