The only player in the Marvel universe.

Chapter 206 Let me introduce myself, I am the Black Emperor of the Hellfire Club.

Nobody paid any attention to the withdrawn Wade. This guy had at least hundreds of episodes every day, and it would be abnormal if he didn't have one. Everyone was already used to it.

At this moment, Charles and old Logan's attention was completely drawn to the group of mutant children in front of them. Looking at their innocent faces and the mutant abilities they displayed, they vaguely saw the shadows of old friends, which stirred up a feeling in their hearts.

"Logan, we have to do something," Charles said.

When Old Logan saw his old friend's expression, he knew that his old habit had resurfaced. Given Charles's character and sense of responsibility, there was no way he would abandon these children.

He said helplessly, "Charles, even if we regain our powers now, it won't change anything. There's no place for mutants in this world anymore."

Genetically modified foods have long been integrated into everyone's daily life. No one can escape three meals a day, and mutants are no exception. There is no longer any soil for mutants to survive in this world. Sooner or later, they will become relics of history, just like dinosaurs.

Although Charles and Logan have regained their powers, the two of them alone cannot reverse the overall situation unless Charles is willing to abandon his principles, enable global customization, and rewrite the rules of the world. In that case, mutants might still have a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, Charles would never do that, especially since he no longer has a brainwave amplifier.

Charles insisted, "We can find a new sanctuary, a place where mutants can survive."

"There's no place like that," old Logan sighed.

NPC Charles Xavier has given you a new quest.

[Mission: Find a Shelter]

[Objective: To find a suitable shelter for Charles and others, and to successfully settle them down.]

[Rewards: 2000 EXP, Charles's Favorability +30, Logan's Favorability +30, Anchor Point Fragment *2, Random Item *1, Random Equipment *1]

Upon hearing the game system's notification, Du Mu said, "I do have a solution."

Old Logan raised an eyebrow: "What method?"

"It's simple, just have Wade pack you up and send you to the next parallel world."

"Go to other parallel worlds?"

Charles and old Logan were both stunned; this was a path they had never imagined.

But soon, a glint flashed in their eyes.

That's definitely a good idea!

They had long since lost all attachment to this world, and if they could truly leave, they would agree without hesitation.

Even if other parallel worlds are worse, how much worse can they be than the present?

Du Mu grabbed the reclusive Wade and asked if he could bring so many people with him on the journey.

The answer is yes.

The time-travel device that Wade got from Cable, under the influence of his ability to break the fourth wall, has almost become a divine artifact that defies common sense. He can do things that Cable cannot do with ease, and even travel to the so-called real world to kill the actor playing himself. It's simply outrageous!

Faced with such utterly unreasonable and irrational power, taking a group of people on a dimensional leap is a trivial matter.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Charles and old Logan were overjoyed and immediately decided to pack their bags and prepare to run away.

They've had enough of this awful world!

But before leaving, Charles modified Sandel's thinking, implanting a deep-seated belief in his mind: to do everything in his power to modify genetically modified foods and eliminate their harm to mutants.

He wanted to leave a glimmer of hope for the mutants in this world.

Whether it will ultimately be useful or not is up to fate.

New York, Westchester, Xavier Estate.

This is Charles Xavier's private property, which he has transformed over the years into a special school called the Xavier Academy for Gifted Young People, dedicated to taking in and educating homeless mutant children so that they can become mutants useful to society.

Because it was deliberately concealed by a certain bald man, few people outside the area know its exact location and true nature.

However, at this moment, the former vitality of Xavier's Academy for Gifted Young People has vanished, replaced by a heavy silence.

Not long ago, Professor X, whom they regarded as a pillar, fell.

He didn't die, but collapsed in his wheelchair while using the brainwave amplifier and remains unconscious to this day.

Through a careful investigation by Jean Grey, one of Professor X's most trusted students, it was discovered that Mystique had disguised herself as a student at the academy and sneaked in to inject a potent neurotoxin directly into the core connecting fluid circulation system of the brainwave amplifier.

When Professor X used the device, the toxins acted directly on his central nervous system with the feedback pulses, causing him to fall into a deep coma.

In short, Professor X was deemed too powerful, and there were concerns that it would negatively impact the plot, so his title was forcibly removed.

The atmosphere inside the underground medical room was oppressive.

The X-Men surrounded Charles's medical pod, but no one spoke.

They had just learned that the senator who had been forcibly transformed into a mutant by Magneto was dead. The cause of death was a complete genetic collapse, and his body dissolved into an unrecognizable pool of liquid, leaving not even a trace of remains.

Just before falling into a coma, Professor X had probed the senator's memories, thus revealing Magneto's complete plan.

Magneto built a special device that could release a type of radiation that only targeted ordinary humans, forcibly rewriting their genetic sequences and turning them into mutants. The senator was the first living test subject of this device.

However, activating this device requires an enormous amount of energy, so much so that it could almost take Magneto's own life.

For this reason, Magneto set his sights on Rogue Mary, whose ability allows him to briefly absorb and replicate the abilities of other mutants through contact.

Magneto then kidnapped Rogue, intending to use her ability to replicate him to operate the dangerous machine in his place, thereby implementing his radical and cruel mutant conversion plan.

Magneto believed that by transforming humans into mutants, the divide between the two races could be completely eliminated, thus achieving unification.

It has to be said that Lao Wan is indeed a genius; he was able to come up with such a plan.

It's like Black people wanting to dye all races black to eliminate racial discrimination—it sounds insane.

However, his plan was doomed to fail from the very beginning.

The senator's tragic condition is the most direct proof that forcibly converted genes are extremely unstable and will ultimately lead to collapse and death.

This is not evolution, it's a massacre!

Professor X foresaw this catastrophic consequence, which is why he used the brainwave amplifier to try to locate Rogue and stop Magneto before everything was beyond repair. However, he did not expect to fall into Magneto's trap.

With Professor X falling, the X-Men were enveloped in a rare sense of bewilderment.

For a long time, Professor X has been not only their spiritual pillar but also the brain behind every action. Now that he has suddenly fallen silent, everyone is like someone who has suddenly lost their compass, standing at a crossroads, not knowing which way to go.

"Are we just going to wait here like this?"

As a newly joined intern, Logan Wolverine couldn't stand the stagnant atmosphere any longer and couldn't help but break the silence.

"That madman Magneto has Rogue in his grasp. Every second we waste increases her danger."

Logan was more concerned about Rogue than Magneto's plan.

The girl who had followed him all the way from Canada trusted him from beginning to end, and he absolutely could not stand by and watch her die because of it.

"This guy is right. Even if the professor falls, we must act to stop Magneto."

Laser-Eye Scott nodded.

Although he didn't know why, he always felt that Logan was not pleasing to the eye, and always felt that the other party wanted to dye the thing on his head green, but the situation was urgent at the moment, so he still distinguished between primary and secondary matters and agreed with Logan's statement.

"But how are we going to find Magneto without the professor?" Storm Ororo frowned.

"I can give it a try."

Jean stepped forward, her voice firm: "I also have telepathic abilities. I can control the brainwave amplifier to find Rogue's location, and thus find Magneto's..."

"7

"No!"

Before Qin could finish speaking, Scott interrupted her decisively.

His tone was urgent, with undisguised worry: "Brainwave amplifiers are too dangerous. Even professors have to be extremely careful when using them, bearing a huge burden. You have absolutely no experience in operating them, and the slightest mistake could result in a severe backlash."

Scott was unwilling to let his girlfriend take that risk.

Charles, whom he regarded as his spiritual mentor, has already fallen, and if something were to happen to Jean, he doesn't know if he could bear it.

Qin was about to retort when her expression suddenly changed, her pupils contracted slightly, and her whole demeanor instantly tensed up.

"Qin, what's wrong?"

Scott noticed her unusual behavior and immediately asked her what was wrong.

"A group of strangers is approaching the perimeter of the college; they are neither students nor familiar visitors."

"Damn it! Is it Magneto's men coming to our door?"

Logan tensed all his muscles instantly, his expression turning grim.

He just fought Magneto yesterday—or rather, not really fought him, because he didn't even have a chance to make a move before Magneto remotely pinned him to the ground and beat him senseless.

There's nothing he can do about it; his entire skeleton is made of adamantium alloy.

Faced with Magneto, who can manipulate all metals, he was practically a toy, completely outmatched.

Even Magneto couldn't help but sigh, "Wolverine is a man who can take things in stride."

"No...I don't know."

Qin's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead: "There's a spiritual force protecting them. My detection is completely blocked. This spiritual force is extremely powerful, even... more powerful than the professor's!"

"What!?"

These words instantly changed the expression of everyone in the medical room.

Logan was alright, but Scott and Ororo looked completely incredulous.

They all knew just how powerful Professor X's abilities were; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the most powerful telepath in the world.

And now, suddenly a telepath even more powerful than Professor X has appeared!?

A chill crept up their spines.

Imagine how terrifying it would be if their enemy were Professor X.

At this moment, they felt as if they were standing naked in the street, with all their thoughts and memories laid bare before the other party. What was even more terrifying was that the other party could arbitrarily alter their will and control their actions without their knowledge, leaving them unaware that their sense of self had been stripped away.

At that moment, they suddenly understood Magneto a little better.

No wonder I heard that Magneto doesn't dare to take off his helmet that blocks telepathy when he takes a shower, sleeps, or goes to the toilet. Facing an existence that can see into your mind and control you at any time, the pressure is indeed immense!

However, that powerful spiritual force merely shielded Qin from detection and did not take any further action.

Scott suppressed his unease and gritted his teeth: "Let's go out and see what's going on, no matter what."

Without any objection, everyone nervously left the medical room and came to the open space outside the academy building.

Soon, they spotted the unfamiliar figures.

The leader was a man wearing a strange metallic mask.

Even before getting close, a strong sense of malice swept over them, making them feel terrified.

The person is not good!

The X-Men felt a chill run down their spines, almost instinctively categorizing the other party as part of Magneto's villainous camp, or even placing them above Magneto.

Magneto, at least when he takes off his battle suit, looks like an old man playing chess in a park. He may not be kind-looking, but he does look like a human being.

The person in front of me exudes an evil aura that says "I'm not a good person" from head to toe. If he were walking down the street, he would definitely be stopped by the police and have his ID checked.

Beside this person stood two figures.

The man on the left is wearing a tight-fitting blood-red uniform, a panda-eye hood, and various weapons are openly displayed on his body.

The figure on the right is wearing a yellow uniform and a half-face mask that covers the upper half of his face, revealing a white chin. The mask has pointed protrusions on both sides, resembling animal ears. Upon closer inspection, it looks more like two Batmen kissing.

This combination of red and yellow looks like scrambled eggs with tomatoes at first glance.

These three, needless to say, are Du Mu, Wade, and Logan, who have traveled from another time.

Du Mu and Wade were dressed in their respective signature outfits, while Logan's brand-new uniform was bought from a previous parallel world. That world had a lot of X-Men merchandise, so they casually bought a Wolverine comic book uniform for Logan to wear.

Logan was initially reluctant, but Laura, a big fan of the X-Men, also liked it, so he obediently put it on.

Looking at the three very different people in front of him, Scott asked warily, "Who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself, I am the Black King of the Hellfire Club."

Du Mu stepped forward and said in a contemptuous tone, "And from now on, this place is under our control."
