Shadow of the Beautiful World

Earth, Pacific Ocean, Utopia Island.

Outside the city where the mutants lived, in the south of this large island, a very large camp was being erected.

The mutants who could manipulate the rocks and the earth were expanding their temporary bases for the guests who were constantly coming. In a further place, the supplies transported from the island cities were piled up in several large tents.

At this time of evening, the scenery of this Pacific island is extremely beautiful. A group of young people gathered on the beach to relax. Several large bonfires have been lit. They seem to be preparing to complete the preparations for the bonfire party before the night comes. .

A lot of mutants are also involved and seem to be having a good time.

The mutants on Utopia Island were very enthusiastic about the fainted guests. On the one hand, as a reservation for mutants, Utopia Island rarely had such a large-scale visit from outsiders.

On the other hand, the mutants living here know that these heroes from the outside world are helping them.

The actions of Professor Charles and Magneto intending to fight back against the Kree fleet in an attempt to save the Earth, which is about to fall into war, have been known by many people.

News of Kojima spread wildly everywhere, and the full assembly of the X-Men confirmed the news.

There are also powerful mutants from the Hellfire Club, which has always been outside the main body of mutants, and they have also returned to the island from their new home in the sea. Many people have seen Her Majesty Emma, ​​Queen of Atlantis, appear in the city middle.

And the submarine soldiers who went ashore with her.

All this proves that the professor has made up his mind to do something for this world shrouded in the shadow of war.

The mutants were quite excited about this.

Whenever the earth encounters a crisis, there will always be heroes who stand up to turn the tide.

This time, the human world is quite contradictory and divided in the face of threats, so... it's time for mutants to come forward to save the world.

The worship and pursuit of heroes and heroism do not only exist in the human body.

The mutants who have been excluded and suppressed in history will only have a stronger desire for their own heroes to save the world and demonstrate the power and belief of mutants.

And this time the mutant heroes won't be walking alone!

During this period of time, a steady stream of outsiders landed in Utopia, superheroes from the Heroes Association, wizards in mysterious costumes, and weird-looking aliens.

Ms. Ororo, who is both the X-Men and the queen of Wakanda, also brought a Wakanda army capable of fighting.

The heroes of the outside world will join the heroes of the mutants, and they will turn the tide of the crisis as before.

Ten minutes later, cheers came from the crowd. Professor Charles came, pushed a wheelchair by his student Colossus, and led the X-Men to the camp where the heroes from the outside world were.

This bald old man in a wheelchair has an amazing reputation in mutant society.

He greeted and talked with his people in a friendly manner, and then, surrounded by mutants, he entered the camp to meet with the leaders of the heroes and discuss some matters.

There are not a few days left before the marriage between the Yiren and the Kree people. This assembly has reached the final stage, and soon, they will be on the road.

M.I.B has already prepared several spaceships, which is enough to send the power of the raid into the stars at one time. In the last few days, there should be a group of people coming. Based on the current number of people, there will be at least 1,000 people in the end. team with us.

Under the light of the fire and the dim lights of the camp in the evening, the Colossus pushing Professor X on the beach whispered to the professor:

Magneto's convening of members of the Mutant Brotherhood is also going smoothly, but unfortunately, we still haven't been able to contact Ms. Ruiwen, who has been working since she left Utopia a few months ago. No further contact with us.

Mystique...

The professor nodded, and he said softly:

Ruiwen left very abruptly. At that time, we thought she was in a hurry, but now it seems that mutants who are as good at disguise and replacement as us may have discovered the clues of our existence.

But at this moment, her existence is no longer important, so don't worry about her.

The old Skrull disguised as Professor Charles released his psychic power and perceived the minds of the heroes in the camp.

Limited to such a narrow terrain as the beach, his spiritual power is no different from that of a real professor. If there is someone with malicious intentions among those heroes, he will be discovered by the fake professor immediately.

This time the Skrulls put all their eggs in one basket. The assassination of the Kerry warlord Ronan was the last card they could play at the moment, and there was no room for any mistakes.

Behind him, Colossus was still reporting the actions of the other Skrulls.

He said:

This time, 200 compatriots will go to the stars with us, and the remaining compatriots will continue to stay on the earth. After the assassination is over, the White House will immediately use this assassination to issue a war statement, and other earth country officials will also Then it went into a state of total war.

Maximus has also made preparations. As long as Black Bolt and the members of the Inhuman royal family leave Attilan, he will immediately launch a rebellion and gain control of Attilan.

He will manipulate that city to fall to Earth, and the Inhumans will have no chance to join the Kree Empire, and they will also be drawn into the war.

Um.

The professor nodded and said:

Regardless of whether we can kill Ronan or not, as long as we act according to our predetermined plan, neither the Cree nor the people on Earth can enter into reconciliation.

He raised his head, looked at the dim stars above him, and said:

In fact, as soon as we get into the stars, the spread of war is inevitable.

Oh, one more thing, about those ancient behemoths we were looking for, those Titans, if the Kree counterattack comes, the earth may need them to withstand it.

Some of our people have already contacted the Emperor Organization.

Colossus replied:

The replacement will be completed soon, and when necessary, those special instruments will be activated, which will force the mysterious Titans to appear on the surface of the earth, join the war, or cause large-scale chaos.

very good.

The professor raised his hand and waved to the heroes and leaders who were waiting for him in the camp ahead. He finally asked:

What about the monitoring of the Riley family? Is there any news to worry about?

No.

Hearing this question, a gleam of orange light flashed in Colossus' eyes, but it was not obvious under the dim light. He replied calmly:

Everyone related to the Riley family has not been disturbed, and they are still maintaining a normal life. The Raven Lord does not seem to intend to involve his family.

Including the s.d.o.l.d. base in Raccoon City, everything is calm. I have personally confirmed that your worries seem unnecessary, professor. There is no evidence that an attack against us is being planned.

Yeah?

The professor frowned, and after a few seconds he sighed and said:

I hope so.

puff

Accompanied by a light sound, like the sound of some kind of insecticide being sprayed, in the Eye of the Sky base in Raccoon City, Nick Fury is holding a can of special spray and is showing Cyborg how to use it .

This is the 'positioning' spray that Banner just made.

The former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. threw a spray similar to an insecticide canister to Cyborg, saying:

Colorless and odorless, once sprayed, it can remain on the target for at least 72 hours. We have secretly tested it on several locked Skrulls.

Fury picked up the glasses at hand and handed them to Cyborg, he said:

Even if they temporarily change their shape, this spray will not disappear. With glasses with special spectrum, they can see clearly even hundreds of meters away, just like fireflies in the dark night, even if they hide in the crowd. There is no escape.

I know a very fast young man in your clique.

Fury said to Cyborg:

On the day when Professor Charles gathers the heroes to go to the stars, give this thing to him. I will give you a list later, and let him use the shortest time to apply the spray to specific people.

This... is to avoid accidental injury?

Cyborg looked at the pot in his hand, and the cyborg asked:

After the spraying is finished? Who will deal with those marked Skrulls? Those heroes have been brainwashed by Professor Charles with a high probability. You probably can't expect them to make things right at the last minute.

You don't have to worry about that.

Fury waved his hand, he was full of confidence, and said mysteriously:

We have already prepared the person responsible for the attack. You are only responsible for distinguishing and locating, and you and your two companions don't need to think too much, just follow the professor's instructions.

You do whatever he asks you to do. If he tells you to kill, you kill. They are all Cree people anyway, and we don't feel bad when we die.

Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome.

The silver armor on Steel Bone's chest was opened, revealing several storage compartments. While putting a few cans of spray on the table into his chest, he said to Fury:

Although the Skrull's camouflage ability is powerful, it is not invulnerable. When I was chatting with Ms. Carroll before, I heard from her that there is a special instrument on the Kree Empire that can use specific frequency Beams and sound waves, forcing the Skrulls out of their disguise.

Although we don't have the blueprint for making that kind of instrument, there are also very smart people on Earth, such as Dr. Reed Richards. As long as he knows the principle, he should be able to make an instrument with the same effect after such a long time.

We don't need to take that risk at all, we can solve them here on Earth.

Facing Cyborg's statement, Fury nodded.

He said:

Sure, Reed can make an instrument like that, but the problem is... look!

Fury pointed his finger at the monitoring wall in front of him. On the monitoring screen he pointed at, there was a monitoring screen facing the top floor of the Baxter Building, where Dr. Reed and his family lived.

Fury said:

There are Skrulls around Reed... Tony is also around. Don't underestimate those bastards, Cyborg, they have already prepared for everything we can think of.

That's why I didn't let Reed participate in this matter from the beginning to the end. The Skrulls are also wary of the appearance of an instrument that will make them lose everything.

And they know very well that there are only a few people on earth who can make that kind of instrument.

All right.

The steel-framed human right eye couldn't help blinking. He looked at the dense surveillance screens hanging on the wall in front of him, and each screen represented a Skrull being monitored.

Some of the characters projected on the screen are very familiar to Steel Bones, such as the confident black president in the White House, and someone who always makes some weird remarks and is dubbed Knowing King with handsome hair The top candidate for the next president Mr....

This made the steel-framed machine feel a sense of urgency and disgust.

He looked at the last can of spray in his hand and said:

We will accomplish our mission, and we will stop at nothing to keep those Skrulls in the stars.

Your Excellency Fury, I leave everything to you on Earth.

Do not worry.

Fury picked up the water glass at hand, his one-eyed eyes flashed a cold killing intent, like a hunter with a sure chance of winning, he said softly:

The net has been opened, and none of them can escape!

—————————————

Alaska, in a small town near the Arctic Circle.

Cyclops Summers, who has lived here for more than a year, is packing his bags.

He still wears his iconic pair of redstone glasses, and he looks full of the temperament that a handsome guy should have.

He hasn't been in touch with the X-Men for a long time, as if he left that warm family and chose to exile himself.

Cyclops experienced a lot during the New York War a year ago. He not only lost his love, but even lost himself for a time. To this day, the truth of his mysterious resurrection from the grave is still unclear.

He didn't tell anyone about it, and he clearly remembered having his heart ripped out, but after being buried for days, he awoke again on the shores of Utopia.

This matter is weird, he is probably still involved in conspiracy, staying away from the people he cares about is a necessary move, he no longer wants the people he cares about to be hurt because of him.

Summers, I'll be waiting for you at home, you must come back on time.

In this small cabin, but full of warmth, another woman held a cool tactical goggle for Cyclops combat. She walked to Summers with difficulty and handed the things in her hand to lost his lover.

The lady has a big belly.

She's pregnant and looks like she's going to have a baby in a few months.

What's worth mentioning is that this lady's face is almost exactly the same as that of the dead Qin Gray, except for some details, such as her hair, which is not fiery red like Qin's, but smooth orange-red curly hair.

But other than that, she's pretty much another version of Phoenix.

I will, Madeleine.

Summers turned to the tactical eyepiece, and he kissed the woman tenderly on the forehead. He picked up his bag and said to the girl in his arms:

My people need me. They want to save the world. I can't let them go alone.

Once the matter is over, I will rush back immediately. I will witness the birth of our child with my own eyes. I have already given him a nickname. All powerful mutants need nicknames.

Let's just call him...cable.

Our little cable will become a chain linking the past and the future, to commemorate my past and our encounter.
