Shadow of the Beautiful World

On the third day after the onslaught ended, the Mutant Nation Utopia.

Psychic attack guy has been giving psychic hints to a lot of mutants for the past 5 years.

While Merlin fought him, he unleashed the X-Men's psychic cues, causing the Avengers some trouble.

And after the X-Men recovered from that state of psychic suggestion, they immediately conducted a check on the entire Utopia.

The results are astounding.

Almost 40% of the people on this island have signs of being hypnotized.

On the third floor of Utopia's City Hall, Merlin stood in front of the French windows, looking at the free mutants in the square in front of him. Those children with mutant characteristics would definitely be discriminated against outside.

But here, these children can have a good growth environment.

Behind Merlin, wearing a long white dress, big Emma with a hot and perfect figure, a beautiful face and an indifferent expression.

That is, the White Queen Emma Frost was telling Merlin about the current situation of Utopia.

Emma the White Queen is no utopia.

She belongs to another mutant faction, the Hellfire Club, but this powerful mutant has a teacher-student relationship with Professor Charles, and she is one of the best graduates of Xavier Academy for Gifted Boys.

So after getting the sober professor's request, Emma came to Utopia to help the X-Men deal with the follow-up affairs.

It will take a long time to help those people eliminate the spiritual suggestion without causing confusion.

Emma leaned against the table, folded her arms, and said to Merlin by the window:

And it's very bad that we lost the old man who was the best at doing this kind of thing, and Jean Gray, who is good at handling this kind of thing and is the old man's most proud disciple, is also in a bad state...

Aren't you also good at psychic power, Ms. Emma.

With his hands behind his back, Merlin looked at the scenery outside the window and said:

I believe you can handle this matter well... This is also Charles' request. He believes in you, so I am willing to believe in you too.

When did the relationship between the two of you get so good?

The White Queen looked at Merlin's back blankly, and said:

Also, just by chance, I want to ask, what is the relationship between you and the red devil Asazo? Why did you send him to lurk in my Hellfire Club?

Merlin didn't answer this question directly. He turned around and let the sun shine on him. He said to Emma:

Charles is receiving treatment. He may not appear in Utopia for a long time. But he is still a representative of moderate mutants, and he will still make his own efforts to integrate mutants into human society.

I came here today, besides looking at the situation in Utopia, I have another thing to tell you, Emma.

Merlin took out a letter from his pocket, flicked his fingers, and let the letter float to Emma's hand. He said to the White Queen:

Utopia needs a new leader, and Charles recommended you to me.

I?

A trace of surprise flashed across Emma's cold face. She opened the envelope, looked at the letter, and said:

I thought the old man would trust Summers more, after all, the young man has been with him all the time.

Cyclops will be in command of the X-Men, and you will be the headmaster of Xavier's Academy for Gifted Boys and administrator of Utopia.

Merlin says:

Colossus and Ororo will assist you...

You all lack Charles' lofty prestige and status in the mutant society, and none of you can replace him alone.

So you must cooperate to manage the utopia that Charles and his friends have spent their entire lives building. This is also the result that officials hope to see.

I still have my work to do!

The White Queen seemed not interested in this appointment. She curled her lips and put the letter in her hand aside. She refused:

Since it's the old man's request, I can take over for a while, but I'm not interested in managing this mess for a long time.

your business?

Merlin pursed his lips and said:

What can the Hellfire Club do? It's nothing more than the constant recruitment of members in the upper class. I heard that you brought Tony Stark into your small circle not long ago?

Merlin shook his head, he looked at Emma, ​​he said:

Then you have to be careful, Tony is probably going after you, a beauty like you is very suitable for the playboy's hunting needs.

Thank you for your reminder.

The White Queen said something indifferently, and after a while, she said again:

That old man Charles is with you now? Is he all right?

It depends on how you define 'good'.

Merlin took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He said:

He has suffered a lot, but every day he is getting closer to hope. If everything goes well, you will be able to see him again after a while.

He raised his head and looked at the children who were playing games in the sun outside the window, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said:

I should go. I hope that when I come over next time, I can still see this peaceful scenery.

Oh, by the way, you should have been notified.

Merlin said to the White Queen:

I want to take Jean Gray away.

———————————

On the other side, in the mysterious room, Professor Charles is lying on the experimental table full of medieval style.

His hands and feet were bound to prevent him from doing anything he might injure himself in extreme pain.

I'm going to start, Professor.

Liana, queen of the frontier, looked Professor Charles in the eye and said:

As before, when you can't bear it, you must tell me.

Well, come on, Liana.

The professor took a deep breath, and with that trademark gentle smile on his face, he said to Liana:

sorry to bother you.

No trouble.

Liana stretched out her hand, and the Soul Slayer sword that could cut souls appeared in her hand.

In the intertwined light of faint blue and dark red, the giant sword on the door panel shrank rapidly, and soon turned into a scalpel.

The Border Queen put her hands on the professor's chest, and said:

Everyone knows that you are a kind person. Even Merlin tried his best to save your life. Don't worry too much about it.

While chatting with the professor, Liana held a scalpel and stabbed the professor in the heart.

This scene is like a murder.

But no blood flowed from the wound.

Liana's sword is very strange, it will not harm ordinary people, but it can cause terrible damage to magical creatures, especially it can split the soul.

At the moment when the scalpel was inserted into the professor's heart, a deep howling sound came from the professor's mouth.

The gentle old man just now seemed to be a different person. His big bald head without eyebrows was full of ferociousness. He struggled crazily and snarled at Liana with a distorted expression:

I'm going to kill you! Kill all of you!

Come on!

Liana curled her lips in disdain, and with a flick of her wrist, a piece of dark soul was cut off.

The fragment of the soul was invisible, like a shining dark halo, held by Liana in her hand, and then thrown into the crystal bottle beside the test bench.

In that crystal bottle, there is already a layer of dark, liquid-like energy.

That was the mad attack fragment that was cut from the professor's mind a few days ago.

You can't hurt anyone, you're a bastard who only uses other people's power to show off!

The Queen of the Frontier stabbed fiercely again, causing Kuanggong to wail in pain again. She stared at the conscious body emitting a dark aura under the professor's body, and said:

If it wasn't for the professor, you would have died long ago.

I'm mighty! Idiot! Onslaught will kill you all!

Kuang Gong may have gone mad in the pain of soul cutting, he controlled the professor's body, and let out a hoarse roar:

Merlin! You! You are all going to die!

Howl, howl.

Liana didn't care about the roar of the mad attack at all.

She is the queen of the frontier, and she commands a world of demons. She has long been used to this noisy sound, and compared to those demons in hell who are full of rude curse words, the threat of mad attack seems so pale powerless.

There is no deterrence, and it even makes Liana want to laugh.

It's so sad that you can't even say harsh words!

The Queen of the Frontier ridiculed that dark will, she swiftly cut and attacked the consciousness attached to the professor's mind, as if completing a precise surgical operation.

After the professor was infected by the leech virus and lost his spiritual power, the consciousness of the mad attack also became weak.

It lost its source of power, so it couldn't wantonly parasitize the professor's consciousness, which made it detachable.

As long as the berserk thinking is completely cleared from the professor's mind, the professor will return to his previous good-natured state. Of course, there are very few people who can do this, and Liana is one of them.

Hurry up and howl, in a few more days, you won't be able to howl even if you want to.

While talking ramblingly, Liana carefully followed the outline of the professor's soul, cutting off the dark power.

This work took a long time, mainly because the professor in the state of ordinary people has limited endurance, and his soul has been cut many times in a short period of time, which will also affect the stability of his own soul.

So you have to take your time.

Ten minutes later, Liana completed today's surgery.

She straightened her body, dissipated the scalpel in her hands, and then looked at the crystal bottle in her hand, the layer of soul medium inside had increased a bit.

Well, this would be a great collectible.

Liana closed the lid of the crystal bottle, put it to her ear, and shook it, she could still hear Kuang Gong's wailing in the crystal bottle.

This made Her Majesty feel like hearing the best music in the world.

Let you control my brother!

Liana reached out and flicked on the crystal bottle, she pouted and said:

As a result, he was severely beaten by Clark, and he is still lying on the bed and can't walk... Tsk tsk, that fellow Clark was so ruthless, he almost broke my brother's leg.

Um...is it over?

The professor also woke up after a few minutes. His face was pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He looked at Liana, who smiled sweetly at the professor. She reached out and helped the professor off the laboratory table. stand up.

Well, the situation of Professor Charles is actually quite strange.

He suffered a spinal injury when he was young, which was healed by Hank the Beast.

But the problem is, his powerful psychic power is oppressing his injured body.

If he wants to walk on two legs, he has to take a drug that suppresses the mental power, which will make him an ordinary person.

But if the professor wants to retain his psychic power, his legs will become crippled, which is very similar to another friend of Merlin, the super brain man George who works at the ghost base.

George, whose brain domain has been developed by 70%, has too much mental power, so he must take the same medicine as the professor to ensure that his body does not mutate, so that he will not become a scary big-headed doll.

And these years, in order to better protect his own people, the professor has been sitting in a wheelchair.

But now, the leech virus has eliminated his abilities, allowing him to move freely at last.

Of course, he was old and needed a cane to walk.

According to the current progress, the separation of the soul will be completed in a few days.

The relationship between Liana and the professor is still good.

When she first found Colossus, because she had been living in hell, she didn't have a good relationship with other X-Men, and she didn't bother to make friends with those guys.

It was the professor who accepted her first and helped her find her place in the X-Men.

To be honest, few people would dislike someone with such a gentle personality as Professor Charles, and it is quite a good experience to be friends with such a kind person.

I see you are collecting his pieces, you want to keep him?

As the professor walked out of the laboratory, he asked worriedly:

This is a very dangerous thing. He will drive you to do many evil things.

The destructive power of Mad Attack is so strong because he chose a nearly perfect host, Professor.

Merlin's voice sounded in the hall.

The professor raised his head, and saw Merlin sitting on the sofa, and Jean Gray sitting on the other side of the sofa, looking a little dazed.

If Berserk was born in another person's mind, then he would be easily annihilated with just one finger of death.

Merlin stood up, and he said to the professor walking towards him:

At the end of the day, he's just an incomplete ghost. As long as he finds the right way, he can be easily killed.

But then again, the minds of ordinary people are too weak to give birth to such a huge consciousness as Kuang Gong.

Merlin!

At the moment when the professor approached Merlin, the thoughts of mad attack surged up again, and he drove the professor to rush towards Merlin, strangling Merlin's neck with both hands.

But the professor was too weak, and his hands seemed weak.

Merlin didn't care, he looked into the professor's chaotic and vicious eyes, and said:

Treasure your last time, Ansrat, on the day you are completely stripped...your death will come.

Don't be complacent! You will be like me!

Kuang Gong said something viciously, like a dark curse.

The next moment, the professor's consciousness suppressed the weak attack back to the depths of his heart, he took a step back, and said to Merlin with apology:

Because of my weakness, I have caused you a lot of trouble, Merlin, I'm really sorry.

You have to apologize every time we meet these days, Professor.

Merlin waved his hand and said:

It's okay, this is what I should do, this is my duty...

He glanced at the silent Jean Gray sitting on the sofa, and said to the professor:

And we have more important things to do now than apologize. About Jean, about the strength in her body...

The Force of the Phoenix, that's quite a troublesome thing.
