I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 116 The Final Battle at Xavier Manor

The large group was also the reason why Charles decided to defend Xavier's estate to the death.

He didn't want to wake up the horde if there was even the slightest possibility.

"Is there really nothing we can do but sit and wait to die?"

"Or should we take the initiative?"

The warning from my sixth sense is getting stronger and stronger.

He sensed that change was just around the corner.

Now, he finally realized something.

The only way for humanity to coexist peacefully with mutants may truly be to follow the path laid out by Pope Ye Feng.

Gathering his thoughts, Charles walked out of the brainwave enhancement room in his wheelchair.

Xavier Manor is on the edge of a cliff, with no way out.

Rather than waiting to be killed, we should take the initiative!

Charles finally made a decision.

"Listen up, everyone!"

"My telepathic abilities have been constantly warning me."

"Xavier Manor may have come to an end."

"But mutants don't."

"I'm locked down. My abilities have been thoroughly analyzed by the government, so they're useless."

"But you're different. You're young, and your potential is limitless!"

"Run! Eric and I will cover your retreat."

Charles's voice rang in everyone's minds, and upon hearing his words, everyone's expression changed.

They hadn't expected the situation at Xavier's Manor to have become this serious.

The situation was so serious that Charles issued an evacuation order.

"professor!"

The same applies to all members of the X-Men.

They couldn't believe Charles had said that.

Let's go!

"Go to the Sanctuary, that's where mutants will finally find their place."

Charles's voice echoed in the minds of every mutant, carrying an undeniable resolve and weariness.

After a brief period of deathly silence, Xavier Manor instantly descended into chaos.

Under the guidance of their instructors, the young students quickly evacuated through a secret passage. Their faces showed fear, but even more so, confusion about the future.

The X-Men members quickly regrouped, and none of them chose to flee alone.

"Charles, you've finally come to your senses."

"The illusion of peace has long been shattered. Only through fighting can we secure a glimmer of hope for our people."

Magneto Erik's voice came from the doorway. He hovered in mid-air, surrounded by tiny metal fragments, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Not for conquest, Eric, but for survival and the future."

"They'll be here soon."

Charles corrected him, but his gaze remained just as firm.

Before he could finish speaking, a piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the entire manor!

"Large number of high-speed targets detected approaching! They're Sentinel robots!"

"They've breached the outer warning line, and their numbers are—too many!"

Hank roared from the control room, his hands flying across the console.

Countless black dots appeared on the horizon, flying rapidly in an aerodynamic manner, their silvery-gray shells reflecting a cold luster in the sunlight.

This is the masterpiece of Trask Industries: the Sentinel robot!

They are enormous, with ferocious appearances and ominous red eyes.

"Activate all defense measures!"

"Storm, disrupt their formation. Iceman, create obstacles. The rest of you, protect the students' evacuation and intercept any enemies entering the manor!"

Scott put on his ruby ​​glasses and gave the order in a deep voice.

"Leave it to me!"

Storm Ororo Monroe's eyes instantly turned pure white.

She rose into the air, and immediately dark clouds filled the sky above the manor, accompanied by lightning and thunder, as a violent tornado attempted to sweep the Sentinel robot away.

Bobby Drake took a deep breath and stopped making ice slides or ice walls as he used to.

He closed his eyes and unleashed his full power.

Centered on him, the extreme cold surged forward in a fan shape, instantly covering the earth with a thick layer of ice. The legs of the first few sentinel robots were frozen solid, their movements suddenly slowed down, and frost even formed on their bodies.

"Well done, Poppy!"

Kitty Pride, the Phantom Cat, praised how her body became ethereal, passing through walls and preparing to attack from unexpected angles.

However, what makes Sentinel robots terrifying is their adaptability.

The subsequent robots immediately adjusted their strategy, with some of their surfaces glowing red and emitting high temperatures, melting the ice layer.

Others fired energy pulses from their palms, aiming precisely at Storm in mid-air.

"They can adapt to and replicate our abilities!"

"But I can absorb it!"

Bishop Lucas Bishop shouted as he rushed to the front lines, spreading his arms wide. An invisible energy barrier unfolded, absorbing several energy pulses, and his body began to glow as a result.

The battle instantly intensified.

The laser-eyed man's red shockwave collided and exploded with the robot's energy beam in mid-air.

Colossus Piot Nikolaevich transformed into a body of steel and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the charging robots, his fists slamming into the metal shells with dull thuds.

"Suppressant! Watch out for those launchers!"

Eric manipulated the massive iron gates of the manor and the underground pipes, sweeping them towards the swarm of robots like a giant whip.

He keenly noticed that some of the sentinel robots were equipped with special launchers on their shoulders, which emitted not energy beams, but a pale blue mist.

A robot broke through the barrage of fire and fired a blue serum at Phantom Cat, who was guiding the students to evacuate.

Although Katie managed to become intangible in time, the drug passed through her body and landed on a young mutant behind her.

The mutant instantly turned pale, his powers failed, and he collapsed to the ground.

"No!"

Katie exclaimed.

"Storm, unleash the hurricane!"

The inhibitor is not a syringe in the traditional sense, but this mist-like agent is actually more effective at targeting specific ailments.

Scott provided the optimal solution in the blink of an eye.

But an unexpected change occurred; the government dared to attack Xavier's Manor, so its preparations were naturally very thorough.

Three Sentinel robots, significantly larger and more streamlined than the other models, suddenly emerged from their cloaked state.

Their arms deformed and combined to form a huge energy cannon, the muzzle gathering a chilling blue light, aimed directly at Magneto who was exerting all his strength!

"Eric! Watch out!"

Charles and Scott exclaimed in unison.

But it was too late!

A thick blue energy pillar, like a spear of death, instantly covered Eric's entire body.

This energy attack was not pure energy, but rather an attack mixed with mutant suppressant drugs.

Eric grunted, and the magnetic defense field he had constructed fluctuated violently the moment it came into contact with the energy pillar, before collapsing.

He was hit directly, fell from the sky, and crashed heavily to the ground, his body convulsing, unable to get up for a moment.

While the mist-like mutant suppressant isn't as directly effective as a direct injection, it can still create significant suppression.

This is a plan devised by the government's think tank, which can better cover the battlefield in large-scale battles.

"Eric!"

Charles's heart sank.

The worst-case scenario has occurred: the sentinel robots not only outnumber the enemy, but their technology and targeting also far exceed expectations.

More Sentinel robots flooded into the manor. They had a clear division of labor: some tied up the main X-Men forces, while others began systematically destroying the manor buildings and searching for the young mutants who had not yet managed to evacuate.

Screams and explosions were heard incessantly.

The giant ice wall created by Iceman melted under the intense heat, and the lightning summoned by Storm was blocked by the energy shield. The X-Men began to retreat in disarray, and each of them was wounded.

Charles looked out the window as the estate he had poured his heart and soul into turned into ruins, and as his students fell to the ground.

His knuckles turned white from the force he exerted on the armrest of his wheelchair.

His gaze fell once more on his feet, on the lowest level that was sealed off by layers of barriers.

Jean Grey — or David?

Using the power of the harp might unleash the power of the phoenix, which even he cannot control, with unimaginable consequences.

Awakening David, his son, and that vast multitude of personalities—is also a huge gamble, with David's chaotic inner world being the most dangerous weapon.

Just as he was struggling internally, a Sentinel robot broke through the outer defenses, its crimson electronic eyes locking onto Charles, who was located in the direction of the brainwave enhancement chamber. Its arm rose, and energy began to gather.

At the critical moment!

"Stay away from the professor!"

An angry female voice rang out.

Suddenly, Jean Grey appeared at the entrance of the brainwave enhancement room. Her eyes were burning with golden flames, her long red hair was moving without wind, and an indescribable terrifying energy erupted from her center!

The Sentinel robot that was aiming at Charles, along with all the robots within a dozen meters of it, were instantly broken down into their most basic molecular structures by this invisible force and disappeared without a trace.

The zither floated up, golden flames swirling around her. Her expression was a mixture of pain and rage, as if she were desperately trying to control the destructive energy that was about to erupt within her.

"The harp—control it!"

Charles shouted anxiously, knowing that the most uncontrollable trump card had been triggered by the horrific scenes on the battlefield.

The manifestation of the Phoenix Force temporarily stunned the battlefield, but more Sentinel robots adjusted their targets as their databases were rapidly updated.

The threat level was raised to the highest level, and all the cannons began to turn towards the burning golden flame.

But deep beneath the manor, in that dark prison that even Charles's soul dared not easily touch.

Something seemed to stir slightly, due to the intense energy fluctuations and the cries of countless lives in the outside world.

The power of the zither began to run rampant and out of control.

Seeing her students lying in pools of blood, Qin felt an overwhelming rage.

A golden-red energy field began to be released from Qin's body.

A massive energy storm instantly swept across the entire area.

Those once indestructible Sentinel robots became as easily as grains of sand, wiped out with ease.

"Damn it! What kind of power is this?"

Bolivar Trask, who was controlling the Sentinel robot from a distance, had a drastic change in expression.

Even John Noble, who was standing to the side, was stunned. Such power was far beyond what any of them had expected.

"Omega-level mutant!"

After a moment, John Noble spoke slowly and deliberately, his eyes filled with fervor and greed.
