Seeing Professor X disappear from their sight, the others were stunned.
After coming to their senses, many people turned their attention to Nightcrawler, wondering if Professor X had another superpower like him.
But they all remembered what Professor X had said, and the rumbling sound proved that they could not hold out here for long, so they all evacuated.
After regaining his freedom, Magneto looked at the scene blankly.
He suddenly had a strange intuition in his heart.
Maybe Charles wasn't lying and he really could solve the plight of mutants?
But feeling that the place was crumbling, he quickly left at the urging of Mystique.
But after walking out of the underground base, he and Mystique left alone.
Only when he reached the shore of Yakali Lake above the dam did he look back at the plane parked outside the base, below the dam.
He hesitated for a moment when he discovered that there was still a group of mutants running towards the plane, and that the concrete surrounding the edge of the dam not far away had begun to crack and was about to get completely out of control.
Given his ability, it is not difficult to control such a plane.
But the problem is that this place is far away, and if the dam gets out of control, we will not be completely safe from the flood.
He finally shook his head and looked at the last woman in the crowd.
Phoenix, Jean Grey.
He naturally knew Qin's strength.
According to Professor X, the power within Jean far exceeds that of all of them, and if it were to explode completely, it would be easy to destroy the Earth.
He once thought about absorbing it, but considering that the other party was too dangerous and he might not be able to control it, he never took action.
Seeing the crisis approaching, he suddenly became curious.
“I don’t know if this crisis can unleash her full potential.”
Just as he was thinking this, the dam completely broke.
The flood that broke through the dam roared down like an angry dragon with a terrifying roar.
Everyone had already entered the cabin, but the terrible thing was that the plane could not start at the critical moment.
At this life-threatening moment, Qin finally stood up.
As early as the moment she fought Cyclops in the base, the seal in her body loosened and the power of the Phoenix began to awaken.
It’s just that this awakening is not complete and is always on the verge of getting out of control.
But she couldn't care less about that at this moment.
Rather than let everyone else be drowned by the flood, she would rather sacrifice herself.
Cyclops looked dejectedly at Jean as she jumped out of the plane.
The flood came pouring down.
Just as Qin raised her hand and was about to fight to the death, a voice suddenly came to her ears.
"You go back, leave this to me."
Jean was startled for a moment, then looked up and saw Professor X coming with the flood.
He was suspended in the air like a god! Qin was instantly shocked.
Fortunately, she had not lost her mind. After hesitating for a moment, she hurried towards the cabin.
Cyclops Scott and Wolverine Logan, who had been waiting by the cabin, reached out their hands.
Qin looked at the two hands that were so close to her, hesitated for a moment, and then activated her ability to leap up.
Cyclops turned his head to look at Logan, and at that moment he had the urge to take off his sunglasses.
Just at this moment, a loud noise on the ground attracted the attention of the two.
The two turned around and saw that a huge gully had appeared in the ground, blocking the surging flood.
It was Professor X standing above the ravine.
Then, Professor X raised his hands, and the plane actually floated into the air.
Professor X smiled and waved, then steered the plane towards the lakeshore.
The mutants in the cabin cheered.
But more people are puzzled.
They were of course aware of Professor X's telepathic abilities, but why did this power seem so familiar?
Magneto in the distance had a dazed look in his eyes, and the sense of familiarity in his heart became even stronger.
He discovered that the ability Professor X used was very similar to his own.
But I can't even manipulate the magnetic field to make the ground crack!
A strange thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
Could it be that Charles is actually his long-lost brother? No!
Magneto quickly realized that this could not be the case.
He and Professor X had known each other for a long time and knew each other very well.
And he doesn't have the super power of telepathy.
Logan's claw pierced too deep, and the bloody wound is still painful.
He had earlier learned from other people what Professor X had done while he was controlled.
Pierce his arm to draw blood.
"Could he gain other people's abilities from their blood?"
"But why does his ability seem to be stronger than mine? Is it possible that my own potential has not yet been fully realized?"
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Magneto looked at Professor X who was flying from afar, and suddenly decided not to leave yet.
He had to figure out what was going on.
…
"Time and Space Tavern?"
Hearing what Professor X said, Magneto frowned and became a little skeptical.
Professor X did not shy away from saying, "There are people from different universes in the tavern. Some are emperors from the ancient East, and some...even immortals."
"What is a cultivator?" asked Magneto.
The plane started successfully and everyone else left, leaving only two people standing by the lake, looking at the gradually calming lake surface and talking about this matter.
"Immortal cultivators," Professor X looked at the birds flying over the lake, a rare yearning flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly asked, "Eric, why do you think ordinary people hate mutants?"
"Are you finally willing to admit that they hate mutants?" Magneto sneered.
Seeing that Professor X didn't say anything, he followed the silence for two seconds and said expressionlessly: "Humans are always hostile to creatures that are stronger than them, even if they were once their own kind."
His tone gradually became more sarcastic: "The most important thing is that they can't obtain this power, so they want to destroy it!"
If you can't get it, will you destroy it?
Professor X pondered, and somewhat agreed with Magneto's idea.
But he firmly believed that they were only a small number of people, and the vast majority of human beings were still just.
"What if ordinary people could also obtain the same powers as mutants, or even surpass mutants' powers?" Professor X asked again.
Magneto subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly thought of Professor X's changes, shook his head and said: "The body of a mortal cannot withstand the power given by the gods!"
He turned his head and said seriously: "You know, I tried it before, but failed."
Professor X smiled, but talked about the earlier topic.
“Those who practice immortal arts, using mortal bodies, can gain power and longevity comparable to that of gods through special training methods. They can fly into the sky and hide underground, live freely and at ease, and live as long as heaven and earth,” he said softly.
Magneto was stunned: "Ordinary people?"
"That's right." Professor X nodded.
"How?" Magneto was still skeptical.
It was not until he saw Professor X make some hand gestures, then grab him and sink him into the ground and do a burrow into the ground that he swallowed in confusion.
"Even ordinary people can do the same as me through practice," Professor X said softly, "and the owner of the tavern has no objection to introducing these things to other worlds."
"This kind of practice is a systematic thing. The power depends on the quality of the practice. It is also related to the individual's qualifications. But no matter what, mortals finally have the opportunity to compete with mutants."
"In addition, the tavern also contains various wines that can bring extraordinary abilities, such as my current strength..."
Having said that, Professor X raised his right foot and stomped down hard, and a huge rock on the ground immediately broke into pieces, leaving Magneto dumbfounded.
"...even to the point of gaining immortal life!"
The air suddenly became quiet.
After a long while, Magneto finally spoke: "Charles, you have to take me there!"
Professor X lied for once: "Not right now. The invitation to the tavern is extremely valuable, and I don't have one."
It wasn't that he was selfish, but he was worried that his good friend would become more unscrupulous in his pursuit of those extraordinary things.
Magneto sighed regretfully, then said: "But you have to prove it."
Professor X smiled and said, "Of course."
If everything you have shown cannot convince your friend, then the best way is to give him a glass of wine.
When they parted, he happened to draw a serum from Qin.
He could sense that the other party's condition was becoming increasingly unstable.
What worried him the most was that his own abilities seemed unable to suppress the increasingly violent power of the Phoenix.
In order to prevent the other party from losing control and allowing another dark personality to take over the body, he planned to use his blood to sell to the tavern and buy some things that could suppress his abilities.
It would be best to ask the mysterious Mr. Su.
After making the decision, Professor X disappeared immediately.
Magneto stared blankly at the direction where the other party disappeared, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab forward, but caught nothing.
