Chapter 134 Preparing for the Next Version of the Enemy

"Cuba?"

Charles wondered.

In the original book, when Sebastian attacked the CIA, Charles and Eric were in the Soviet Union, and they captured the White Queen to obtain the relevant information.

Now that their plans have been disrupted by the future Wolverine, they naturally don't know such confidential information.

Since the Soviet Union has only protested to the outside world and has not yet revealed its intention to go to Cuba, no one knows that Cuba is the location where the Soviet Union plans to deploy missiles.

It would take about a week for the United States to officially issue a warning to the Soviet Union before Charles and others would learn about it on TV.

Logan also looked at Du Mu in surprise. He knew about this matter, but for someone who had experienced a nuclear war, the idea of ​​"a nuclear war almost happening" was not something he could remember.

Only then did he hesitate and say, "It seems... the day Magneto died was during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was too long ago, so I can't remember it clearly."

Charles looked at Du Mu in surprise: "You don't even know the future situation that Logan has not told you?"

Du Mu looked at Charles and nodded, "In fact, my world can also connect to several other different Earths. In those Earths, the Cuban Missile Crisis is also a major event that everyone knows about."

No wonder... No wonder the future God-King Du Mu would be so elusive.

Although they were mentally prepared, the people around him were still shocked to hear from the other party that he could travel to different parallel Earths.

Eric couldn't help but ask, "What about the mutants from other worlds..."

Du Mu shook his head and said, "There are many people with super powers, but they all acquired them due to various coincidences. Only in this world do mutants exist who are born with super powers."

Eric sighed in disappointment.

Knowing that there were no mutants in other worlds, his curiosity about those worlds suddenly diminished by half.

Although Eric also hopes to live in a world where no one treats him as a freak, Eric, who has just started working with Charles, is at his most motivated.

He not only hopes to live in a stable environment, but also wants to learn from the plight of mutants in other worlds and help Charles find a way out for all mutants.

Unfortunately, since there are no mutants, there is nothing worth learning.

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

Siren and Shockwave looked at this strange man in bewilderment, wondering if he was also a mutant. He seemed to be respected by Charles and Eric.

Du Mu waved his hand, dispersing the sound barrier that had just covered the place.

Just now, in order to avoid trouble and also for the sake of ordinary people in the CIA, Du Mu did not let them hear what he said.

After all, if a conflict breaks out between the two sides, the only ones who will suffer will be the soldiers in this world.

The CIA has suffered heavy losses tonight. The economic losses caused by the collapse of the building are just a small problem. The important thing is that almost all the CIA agents staying here were killed by the Hellfire Club.

The other party let Siren and Shockwave go only because they were mutants.

Sebastian came here this time to find the mutants who have awakened their abilities, represented by Charles.

Unfortunately, he came back empty-handed, as Charles went to find Du Mu, so all he got was an angel with butterfly wings.

If Darwin had not provoked him repeatedly and still tried to attack after seeing his strength, completely ignoring the several times he had shown mercy, Sebastian might not have killed him.

Du Mu looked around and said to Charles, "You guys can't stay in the CIA anymore, right? They've suffered too many casualties this time. Not to mention rebuilding the headquarters facilities, even reorganizing the personnel structure is a problem. What's more, mutants like you are not taken seriously by their top brass."

Charles took a deep breath and nodded. He thought Du Mu was right. It was time to part ways with the CIA.

After a short period of time together, to be honest, Charles, who can see through people's hearts, is a little disappointed with the US government.

In order to prevent ordinary people from being implicated in the next conflict with Sebastian, and to prevent mutants from becoming weapons under government control in the future, Charles has decided to move the base to his own manor.

Unfortunately, I was too naive and too young in the past.

After reading Logan's memories, Charles really wanted to slap himself in the face, because he had already leaked his and Raven's mutant abilities to the US government.

It was clearly meant to gain their trust, but instead, due to my ability issues, I became even less trusted.

Charles has the ability to read minds, but he does not have the ability to predict the future. In the past, he did not want anyone to know about his special abilities and never mentioned his abilities to anyone.

This time, he mustered up the courage to speak candidly to his own government, but was met with suspicion and vigilance instead.

Being able to control people's minds and being able to change into anyone's appearance at will, these two abilities are really hard for the government officials to swallow.

From then on, no matter how much sincerity he showed or how much goodwill he released, as long as the people in the government suspected that their will had been controlled or tampered with by mutants, the seeds of doubt and fear would be like a stamp on their thoughts that could never be washed away.

And if Charles uses his ability to directly erase the memories of all those who know the truth, it would be fine if the truth was completely buried. However, once any clues are discovered, it would be a complete confirmation, and a war to the death would definitely await humans and mutants.

Thinking of the consequences, Charles could only swallow the bitter fruit of his own immaturity.

He looked at Siren and Shockwave and said seriously, "You two, go home during this time. It's best to persuade your parents to move. Be careful to protect your privacy and don't expose your specialness during this time."

Because he has just tasted the price of youth, Charles does not want young people to take risks and make mistakes with him.

The siren jumped up and almost emitted sonic waves from its mouth.

While he was covering his mouth, Shockwave stood up and said in a deep voice: "That man killed Darwin. We can't just let it go!"

Charles said seriously: "Of course, things will not end like this, but it is not something you can get involved in. I will let Moy contact your family later..."

Unlike in the original movie, Eric did not say anything to stop it this time.

In the original novel, they lack helpers, and these mutant teenagers are their only fighting force. The Hellfire Club led by Sebastian has many powerful subordinates, so Eric believes that they must also have helpers.

But now... it's not just that he has the so-called God Lord Du Mu, he also has the 'weapon' of Wolverine.

Eric is a pragmatic man. Although he trusts Charles' judgment and is very polite to Du Mu, he has never seen Du Mu take action, so he only considers the combat power that he knows.

The man named Wolverine, with his indestructible adamantium skeleton and powerful self-healing ability that allows him to survive hundreds of battles, is like a human meat grinder.

Under his own control, he even had the ability to fly and hide behind the ground, so he really didn't need two extra young men to serve as output.

Shockwave said with an unpleasant expression: "But I was in prison before. Do I have to continue to stay in prison after I am dismissed?"

The Siren immediately said, "Doesn't that mean I'm the only one left out? Do you have the nerve to do that? Absolutely not. I can't accept that!"

Charles rubbed his forehead with a headache, and was about to continue to persuade him, but Du Mu said casually: "It doesn't matter, just take them with you, let them learn more about controlling their abilities, it will be good for them."

If Du Mu said what help they could provide, Charles would definitely not listen. But when he heard that they could get help by following him, Charles became a little hesitant.

In the end, considering the tragic fate of Shockwave, the guy who was rescued from prison by the CIA, who would have to continue to stay in prison after being demobilized, Charles had no choice but to take them to Xavier Manor.

Apart from all the mutants present and Du Mu, the only person accompanying them was CIA agent Moira.

After all, the intelligence about mutants had been uploaded to the Pentagon's internal system within a few days. Unless Charles brainwashed the entire US government, disappearing out of thin air would be like defection, and the CIA would definitely not let them go.

Then they had to bring an agent who could contact the CIA at any time to ensure that they were still under the government's "jurisdiction".

When Du Mu got out of the taxi, unlike the others, he did not marvel at the spaciousness and luxury of Xavier Manor, but looked at Charles strangely.

"Why didn't you come here by plane this time? Isn't the Blackbird your plane?" Charles was stunned: "What? That's a CIA reconnaissance plane. We just borrowed it in a hurry. We can't really steal their plane, right?"

Well, maybe I've watched too many X-Men animations and forgot that Charles is just starting out and isn't yet at the stage where he can develop his own aircraft.

Everyone came to Xavier's mansion, and the other mutants who had lived in poverty since childhood couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Charles stood on the wide central staircase and clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

He looked at everyone and said seriously, "We already know roughly what Sebastian is planning. But he has the best of both worlds. He not only has the Red Devil who can teleport, but also the Diamond White Queen who can block my telepathy. It will be difficult for us to find his trace for a while."

When Charles started talking about business, everyone below became serious.

"Fortunately, we also knew the other party's plan in advance because of Mr. Du Mu's intelligence... They planned to start a war between the two armies when the Soviet and American navies arrived in Cuba. All we have to do is wait and see at that time."

CIA agent Moira was speechless and said, "Wait, that's a crisis that could potentially trigger a nuclear war. Do we really have to wait until it happens before taking action?"

Charles also looked at Moira helplessly, and asked in his soul: "So, Miss Moira, can you persuade the Soviets not to deploy missiles, or can you persuade the Americans not to care about the Soviets deploying missiles at their doorstep?"

Moira was suddenly speechless.

Du Mu also shook his head and said, "Since you did not stop the US from initially deploying missiles in Turkey, the Soviet Union's action this time is inevitable. If you want to stop it in advance, it is equivalent to blocking yourself in the middle of the confrontation between the US and the Soviet Union. Try to use your own strength to try to pull the reins of two mad beasts."

"On the contrary, at the last moment, when they seemed to be at their most dangerous, when they were really at loggerheads with each other and were about to launch a nuclear bomb...they would calm down and seriously think about all their decisions."

Du Mu looked at Moira and smiled, "Now both sides are threatening each other with arson. For every piece of firewood you remove, they will pile it up again to threaten each other. If you stop them in advance, you will be a sinner and it will be a thankless task."

"But... when the flames really appear and are about to burn down the whole house, you go to put out the fire, not only will you get twice the result with half the effort, but you will also earn the gratitude of the neighbors who are afraid of being affected."

"Also, it can make the two seemingly tough guys realize that the other side is really likely to get angry, and they will never dare to beat the drum on this issue again."

These words really convinced Moira, and made her feel inexplicably that watching the two great powers become hostile to each other was the best arrangement.

However, this was not in line with the education and training she received, so she began to feel conflicted and couldn't think of a better way.

Du Mu came to Charles' side, looked at the group of mutants below, and whispered: "So, your next plan is to wait?"

Charles had just been listening to Du Mu's speech and nodded repeatedly, but now he was stunned: "Ah? Didn't you agree just now?"

Du Mu nodded and said, "I agree, but we can't waste our time."

He showed an expectant smile: "How about this, I will be your coach for a week and see if I can train you to be strong enough."

"After all, even though Sebastian is not a concern, we still have to make plans for the future apocalypse."

When Charles heard this, he immediately felt, like Moira, that what Du Mu said made a lot of sense.

The future crises are not just the present ones.

What Sebastian? He's just a small monster. He has no idea what kind of monster he and others will face in the future.

----

"Is this your residence?"

Charles looked at the simple oriental decoration of the martial arts hall with some surprise. For a child who grew up in a castle-like villa, such a courtyard was indeed very simple.

"This is also teleportation? You are also a mutant who can teleport." The Siren, who had witnessed the Red Devil's teleportation ability to kill people, couldn't help but ask.

Du Mu turned around and smiled, "No, I'm not a mutant."

Eric asked curiously: "Isn't your portal on that island?"

Du Mu pointed at the blood patch on the other person's wrist and said, "Only when I travel through time for the first time will I appear in that portal. If I don't exist, you will not only need a blood patch but also pass through that portal to come to the martial arts hall."

He briefly explained the conditions for traveling through time, then looked at everyone, and asked with a hint of anticipation: "So... who of you will go first?"

The shock wave retreated slightly without leaving a trace.

The environment here is too open and has too little protection, which is really not suitable for him to practice.

His ability is to release red shock waves of unknown composition from the surface of his body. The trajectory of this shock wave is irregular and it is too easy to accidentally injure others.

That's why he was put in jail.

Du Mu saw that Shockwave was the first to move, and was somewhat curious about the other party's ability which came from the same source as Cyclops. He simply raised his hand, and Shockwave was surprised to find that he was floating forward uncontrollably.

Shockwave struggled a few times in surprise, but it was useless.

In a hurry, a red energy appeared around his body.

"Oh no, everyone get down!" Shockwave found that his abilities seemed to be out of control due to anxiety, and he couldn't help but shout a warning.

Eric was about to control the surrounding metal to protect a few people, but he was embarrassed to find that there were really no large pieces of metal in this ancient courtyard, only some iron nails and bolts.

Before anyone could react, the red energy on Shockwave's body was thrown out during his struggle.

He couldn't store this thing, so it was naturally impossible for him to control it and not release it after it appeared.

Then, he was surprised to see... his shock wave only flew out less than one or two meters before hitting a burgundy transparent protective shield and dissipated into nothingness.

The burgundy protective shield gradually faded in color until it merged with the air and its existence could no longer be seen.

Du Mu nodded. It was quite powerful and generated a lot of heat energy, but unfortunately the effect lasted too short.

The shock wave landed in front of Du Mu in surprise, but he was still looking in disbelief at the direction where the protective shield had just appeared.

It was the first time he saw someone blocking his attack so easily.

Then if I'm with them...wouldn't that mean I won't cause any harm to them or the outside world?
At this time, Du Mu said: "Alex, your shock wave is not irregular, did you find it?"

"what?"

Shock Wave's original name is Alex, but Du Mu still thinks the nickname is more recognizable.

He was a little confused and asked, "Is there a pattern? I have tried to summarize it, but I have never succeeded. No matter how carefully I control it, it can never accurately hit the target I want."

Du Mu nodded. "Your shock waves are completely controlled according to your body movements. When you are unconscious, the core muscles in your waist and abdomen are the most tense, so the energy appears around your chest and abdomen, which are the most difficult for you to control."

He patted Shockwave's shoulder and encouraged him with a smile: "This time, focus all your attention on your fist and release it towards the sky."

Shockwave nodded nervously, but was also secretly excited.

Could it be that I could really learn to control my own abilities?
Several mutants around were also watching Shockwave's progress carefully. After all, his ability was indeed the most uncontrollable of all.

If even he could improve under the guidance of Mr. Du Mu, perhaps they could too?
Shockwave clenched his fists, tried to concentrate, and then suddenly punched towards the sky!
Nothing happened with the fist.

A shock wave appeared on his body again.

But this time... the shock wave was like a ring-shaped belt. It no longer flew out like a frisbee, but followed the direction of the shock wave's arm and went towards the white clouds in the sky like a circle.
