Chapter 118: X-Men

Simply put, it is one of the basic tactics used in hacker confrontations, like a DoS attack, using massive amounts of junk data to paralyze the opponent's network or system resources.

If calculating pi is not enough, then bring in the infinite geometry of the Mandelbrot set fractal, run two calculations at once. If that still fails, run three, four, or various mathematical problems with infinite solutions, or simply review books from the Los Angeles Public Library.

In any case, the fact that my thoughts are normal is the opponent's biggest miscalculation.

As a result, without even needing a second move, the great Professor X's brain was fried by pi.

Your mental power is indeed strong, but our hardware is different.

The restored Kryptonian smiled with great pride.

At the same time, Henry also discovered that Professor X's mental attack was actually an ability to forcibly synchronize brainwaves, thereby controlling the opponent's brain and the commands transmitted to their limbs.

The difference between myself and Professor X is that he possesses the ability to interpret brainwaves, thus knowing so-called memories and thoughts.

Then, can Magneto's and Juggernaut's helmets be viewed as a design using the Faraday cage principle, isolating the interference of internal and external radio waves?

In that case, I could also make a helmet to block Professor X. Even if it doesn't block this bald man, the Marvel Universe has plenty of telepaths that need to be guarded against.

They say a thousand thoughts pass in the blink of an eye. From the moment Professor X fell until Henry could still indulge in wild thoughts, the other X-Men certainly would not just stand there and let events unfold.

Who struck first no longer mattered to them; in any case, it now appeared that Professor X had suffered the greatest harm.

So the most impulsive young man, Cyclops, pressed the switch on his visor, and a huge ruby-red blast beam was immediately released.

Henry didn't think twice and fired a heat beam right back! The two clashed in mid-air.

This move truly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Storm immediately floated into the air, her eyes rolling back, her hair drifting as if in water. Ionization discharge phenomena appeared around her, clearly indicating she was preparing to unleash a major attack.

At the same time, Quicksilver's thoughts were simpler. Having grown up in a single-parent family and received Professor X's watered-down version of pro-camp hero education, facing the enemy before him, his first thought was actually to find a rope and tie the opponent up!

And he did exactly that.

However, when he found a thick rope on campus and ran back to the school gate, the spot where the conflict started, wanting to quickly circle the enemy and bind them, Quicksilver saw something he had never imagined he would see.

He rushed past the man who was clashing beams with Cyclops. Who knew the opponent would seem to give up the confrontation with Cyclops and turn to look at him.

The two stared at each other, one with a mocking sneer, the other with an expression of utter disbelief.

Just as Quicksilver wanted to tie a knot around the opponent, he flipped! Because Henry, being sneakily malicious, stuck out his foot to trip him at the same speed level, causing Quicksilver to lose his balance like a primary school student whose prank had succeeded.

However, Henry certainly didn't let Quicksilver roll on the ground like a gourd; instead, he grabbed the rope, pulled back, and threw, directly smashing the person into Storm in mid-air. Struck by the human cannonball, the two flew off together into the distance.

Only then did Henry resume the heat beam, having retreated some distance, and continued to stalemate with Cyclops.

However, Henry's super brain still had the spare capacity to ponder a question. Although this thing looks like light, it does not travel at the speed of light. Because people can see the trajectory of the shot, this only proves that this thing is even slower than a bullet!

If it truly conformed to physical laws, where would there be time for me to play with Quicksilver? As soon as I turned my head, even in bullet time, I would be immediately blasted on the forehead by Cyclops's optic blast.

Is this trying to show that my and Quicksilver's speeds are truly very fast, having broken the light-speed limit? Or is it trying to say that these beam-ray abilities are actually just a mass of high-temperature, high-energy plasma flow that must drift over and contact the enemy to cause damage?

Before Henry's super brain could figure out the underlying principle, the other X-Men's actions did not stop.

Storm, who was smashed away along with Quicksilver, could be ignored. Hank McCoy transformed into a muscular giant with blue fur and blue skin, his Beast form having more than doubled in size.

He clasped his hands together, raised them over his head, and leaped toward Henry, intending to deliver a heavy hammer blow.

Henry, being cunning, at the very last moment before being smashed, used his super speed to grab Mystique and hold her in front of him.

Both the one smashing and the one suddenly about to be smashed realized what was happening. But powerless, they could only widen their eyes, their mouths forming circles.

It was too late for Beast to stop now; this hammer blow fiercely struck Mystique's forehead. She was knocked backward and fell to the ground.

Beast landed in Henry's original position, completely unable to figure out how his target had switched.

However, this position was no feng shui treasure either. Cyclops, unable to close his visor in time, blasted the thick-skinned Beast away with an optic blast.

If it were an ordinary person, struck by Cyclops's angry blow, they might die. But Beast, this big guy, only suffered some flesh wounds. It was just being knocked flying, plus the confusion of hitting the wrong person, that left this genius brain a bit dazed.

Cyclops wanted to continue attacking, but Henry didn't want to play with him anymore. He directly used super speed to appear beside him and simply ripped off the opponent's visor.

Realizing he had lost his visor, this constraining tool, Cyclops was terrified, closed his eyes, covered his face, and crouched down. He was done for.

Thus, the remaining X-Men with combat capability were only Nightcrawler, who could teleport instantly, and Jean Grey, who possessed telekinesis and telepathy.

One is a coward, the other looks like a small-scale Professor X whose Phoenix Force is not yet known; Henry did not regard these two as major enemies, so there was no question of initiating an attack.

Of course, it was not impossible that the standing red-haired woman was another mutant. After all, they made their entrance without introducing themselves, and her appearance was not as easily identifiable as Nightcrawler's, with blue skin and a tail.

The identity of the Phoenix Girl was merely Henry's speculation.

As for those knocked down by me, they attacked first, so Henry retaliated with a clear conscience.

Oh, the only exception was probably Mystique.

She did not launch an attack on me, but she did cause trouble for me. So Henry didn't actively beat her up; he just grabbed her to use as a shield and took a hit from Beast.

Nightcrawler, at a loss for what to do, seemed to want to do something. Henry held up one finger and shook it, stopping the opponent. "Sigh, tsk tsk tsk. If you don't make a move, I won't hurt you."
