Chapter 4731
Strange brought the medicine quickly. There were indeed no antibiotics in the general sense, but there were some fever-reducing medicines. After Stark took them, there was no obvious change in a short time, so they could only watch over him.
"Who is going?" Schiller asked, "We really should send someone, otherwise it will seem too heartless."
"I'm not good at cosmic combat," Ma Te had self-knowledge, and he said, "Although I can feel many things, it's not convenient for me to act. You guys go, I'll stay here and watch him."
"I go?" Steve said. But after thinking about it, he said, "I don't have any large-scale lethal means either, it's better for you two to go."
"But we are doctors." Strange said.
"Only one doctor is needed here." Schiller stood up and said, "Charles and Tony both need you to take care of them, so I'll go."
As soon as he said he was going, the others were worried, but what they were worried about was not his safety, but the safety of the front line.
"I remember you aren't very good at fighting," Ma Te said, "Otherwise, let's go to the Central Universe and call a few more."
"No need, ordinary people aren't comfortable staying on this island, and mutants are too busy. Besides, who said I was going to the front line?"
"The front line is critical, if you aren't going to the front line, where are you going?"
Schiller smiled and said, "It's precisely because the front line is critical that going to the front line is useless. Alright, you guys take good care of him here, I'll be back in a while."
Schiller left the room, didn't head straight to the front line, and didn't even leave Krakoa Island. He went straight to the Krakoa Totem and met the Five, who were incubating bodies.
The Five were the backbone of the resurrection plan. They were five mutants with the ability to incubate bodies, who had always stayed near the totem and were under tight protection. Mutants also highly respected them, believing they were saints guarding the future of mutants.
However, Schiller wasn't here to find them either. Just now, the resurrected Magneto had already walked out of the totem.
He took the clothes from the mutant beside him and put them on. Schiller looked at him and said, "I'm going to the Shi'ar Empire, I might be able to solve the mutants' trouble, do you want to come along?"
"Of course. I won't let that group of guys who hurt Charles go." Magneto narrowed his eyes slightly, "Perhaps you are right. Mutants have never been too tough, but not tough enough. We have too many scruples and are always being harmed."
The process of going to the Shi'ar Empire was simple; he could go directly through the sun portal, otherwise, it would really take some effort. Schiller used Mephisto's skin again and met Magneto at Feathered Star.
"You go find Scott," Schiller said, "Comfort him or stall him. I'm going to talk to Gabriel."
Magneto did as he was told without saying anything; now he and Scott had a good relationship, and Scott would listen to him, so stalling him wasn't difficult. However, he was still a bit puzzled about what Schiller wanted to talk to Gabriel about.
But thinking about it, it made sense. If it wasn't Gabriel who killed Professor X, then the person who did it might also be Gabriel's enemy. The enemy of an enemy is a friend, so cooperating with him wasn't unacceptable.
"Alright, you should have calmed down by now, right?" Schiller walked in from outside the door and said, "I know that even if you didn't order it, you allowed it."
"I have no need to do that." Gabriel turned around.
"That rhetoric you used on Scott won't work on me. If you were truly the kind of person who is completely unemotional and only cares about profit, you wouldn't have waited for me to help you succeed in usurping the throne."
Gabriel opened his eyes slightly. He stared at Schiller and said, "You look a bit different, you glib devil."
"My friend is sick, I'm not in a good mood, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you don't agree, I'll push Scott to the throne. Don't you think this is a solution that is good for everyone?"
Gabriel narrowed his eyes, and Schiller continued, "Professor X is worried that Cyclops is being manipulated by you. But if he becomes the Emperor himself, there is no such risk. He is your brother and feels full of guilt toward you; after he takes the throne, he will definitely try his best to compensate you, and you don't need to worry. For mutants, he is also a completely acceptable ally. And his own ability can also handle this position. What do you think?"
"Impossible," Gabriel said in a deep voice, "The throne can only be mine."
"Since you think so, then be obedient. Otherwise, I can push you to the throne, and I can push others to the throne. Your Majesty, the fate of every usurper is to be overthrown in the same way."
Gabriel gritted his teeth; he seemed to want to say something, but realized that Schiller was right. He couldn't suppress the rebellion in the country at all. Those nobles already had tendencies toward independence during the D'Ken era, and now they were even more unscrupulous.
"Can you help me deal with them?" he asked.
"No." Schiller answered very crisply, "However, mutants will want revenge, and you can cooperate with them."
"Then what are you here for?"
"To persuade you of another thing." Schiller paused and said, "Regarding the troops in the solar system, what do you think?"
"The news of the rebellion has long spread, and I can't control them at all. If you are counting on me to let them retreat, then you are thinking too much."
"I didn't count on that," Schiller said, "Why would you think that those soldiers still have a chance to come back?"
Gabriel frowned at him, and Schiller continued, "Tell me the weaknesses of the weapons and soldiers, and I will tell the Earth government, and then let them swallow those soldiers in one bite. Just like the weaknesses of the Avengers I told you before."
"Why do you think I would do that?"
"I said, you have no choice."
Gabriel looked into Schiller's eyes; he felt some inexplicable fear. He didn't know where this feeling came from, it just suddenly sprouted in his heart. This devil began to not hide his evil and cruel face.
"You don't worry about anyone in the Shi'ar Empire at all, you have no burden to start a war, and creating slaughter is like an instinct. Because in essence, you hate them far more than any human. You even feel that the time you spent on Earth was the best time of your life."
Gabriel didn't expect him to point this out directly at all. His hand instantly pressed onto the hilt of his sword, gripping the handle tightly. He took a deep breath and said, "They took me away from Earth and killed my mother. My goal has only ever been one, and that is to destroy the Shi'ar Empire."
"Professor X's rhetoric about manipulating Cyclops to pursue power doesn't hold water at all, and I didn't explain it just because I wanted to see their misunderstanding deepen. I admit, I wanted to see that hypocrite who abandoned me suffer." Gabriel finally revealed his true purpose, "Being betrayed by the student he likes most must be very uncomfortable, right? But when he abandoned me back then, he should have thought of this day. This is his retribution."
"You only need to think about one question now." Schiller ignored his words completely, "Do you still want to return to Krakoa or not?"
Gabriel's hand tightened again, which exposed his inner anxiety and panic. His Adam's apple moved up and down violently, and he said, "Why would I want to return to a place full of my enemies?"
"Because that is the home of mutants. They don't want to abandon any mutant, even including you. You are also moved by this, aren't you?"
"What 'never abandon', it's all lies!" Gabriel finally broke down and said, "That group of people are all thorough hypocrites, appearing equal to every companion and student, but they abandoned me alone. They even erased the memories of the people closest to me regarding me. This can never be forgiven!"
"Alright. Then just think about how to treat Cyclops. He will definitely persuade you to go back, he won't give up."
"I won't go with him."
"Then you will definitely break his heart. You know he is innocent, he has never hurt you, and he is the person closest to you."
Gabriel turned away, not wanting anyone to see his expression, and he remained silent, not responding anymore. But this in itself was an attitude. After a long while, he said, "The data of the combat troops is at the Royal Guard headquarters, if you want it, go get it yourself."
"I don't want those ordinary materials, I only want the weaknesses that can kill them in one blow."
"There is no such thing!" Gabriel roared.
"You must have it." Schiller said, "Otherwise, you would be more anxious than me to eliminate them. Because once they return through the portal, they will be the greatest force threatening your rule. You must have the weakness that completely restrains them in your hands."
Gabriel pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and then said, "The Source Energy Crystal can forcibly absorb the consciousness of marked soldiers. This was originally used for resurrection, but it can also do something else."
Having obtained this news, Schiller didn't stay long. He still went to the Royal Guard headquarters to get the data; this was for cleaning up the battlefield. After all, picking up spoils of war also required a list.
After returning to Earth, he brought the information and data to Captain America. Captain America looked at him with surprise several times, but he just assumed he used his own intelligence system to find out inside this unit. However, he took this and immediately went to formulate a plan.
Just as Schiller returned, Ma Te told him that, as expected, the servers of the virtual assets owned by Krakoa Island were attacked. However, they seemed to have means to maintain server security, and they were means that hackers couldn't attack. It wouldn't be long before sanctions would probably begin.
"They don't have much time to negotiate conditions either." Schiller shook his head, "The Avengers have already obtained the fatal weakness of the Shi'ar Empire's army, and the war will end soon."
"Why do I always feel that your original plan wasn't like this?" Steve turned back and said, "You should have many other goals, right?"
"Not many." Schiller shook his head, "Originally, I wanted to use this unit and the relationship between Gabriel, Scott, and Professor X to create a divided Shi'ar Empire, and have the portal in the sun be permanent, using another living island with the same roots as Krakoa to transform it into a mobile territory that can shuttle between the two worlds. This would perfectly solve the mutant problem. There was nothing else."
"And now?"
"The Shi'ar Empire might not split so severely, but it definitely won't be good. Let them find the living island themselves. I just hope to end all this quickly now, and then take Tony home."
"You don't need to worry too much." Ma Te said, "Tony's fever has gone down, and his condition is much better. The life-support system in the armor can keep him from being affected by the island. Besides, I see he hasn't had enough fun yet."
Schiller sighed heavily: "If it were up to him, he would toss himself to death. But you guys just arrived, so you must still be having fun."
"There must be a beginning and an end." Steve said, "We still want to watch Krakoa develop. Besides, Bucky and Natasha might be free later, and after seeing the landscape photos we sent, they want to come over and play too."
Schiller still seemed to want to insist on his opinion. Only Strange stood up from the sofa and said, "Instead of worrying about them, you'd better worry about yourself. If Tony wants to recuperate, his work can only be handed over to you. There is a lot of work to be done to build Krakoa Island, both managing agriculture and developing industry, are you sure you can handle it?"
"... Schiller to develop industry? No, no, no!" Stark sat up from his deathbed in shock, "He must not touch anything! I don't want to spend the rest of my life on this island!"
The others burst into laughter.
