Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

"Reporting to the commander, the specific location of the Brotherhood's headquarters has been locked!"

The staff secretary's shouts spread quickly in the command center, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the room. The federal president, who was surrounded by everyone in the center, looked happy and was the first to ask:

"Where exactly?"

"Sir, near the Muir Redshirt Forest on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge, the 17th Search Team found it, and it has been basically determined that it is the location of the Brotherhood."

"However, there are a large number of mutants gathered in the station, and there are a large number of guards patrolling in all directions around the perimeter. Therefore, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, the search team is not approaching rashly, but is monitoring from a distance."

As the report progressed, a blurry photo that was obviously taken from far away appeared on the most prominent huge screen in the command center under the control of the staff. The dense crowd of people in the picture covered most of the forest.

In front of the crowd was a protruding earthen platform, on which a row of figures stood, and standing at the forefront was a tall figure with silver-white hair.

Because the shooting distance was too far, the silver-haired figure in the photo couldn't see its specific face at all. But when the federal president's eyes fell on it, he was extremely sure that this figure was the one he captured. Magneto that I will remember forever!

As the leader of the largest terrorist organization of mutants, the President is extremely familiar with Magneto, and he can easily recognize him even if there is only a vague figure.

The eyebrows were slightly raised, and the excitement in the president's eyes was almost uncontrollable. He stood up from his seat suddenly and began to give orders in a deep voice to everyone in the room:

"Calling satellite images for auxiliary locking and ordering the search team outside the station to pay close attention to the specific movements of all Brotherhood members to ensure that they are always under our surveillance. Today, this group of lawless mutant thugs will inevitably be captured They’ll catch them all in one fell swoop!”

"Trusk, how long will it take to mobilize the armed forces to surround and suppress all these thugs?"

Hearing this, the tall black man next to the president looked at the thousands of fraternity members in the photo, frowned and thought for a moment, and then responded:

"Based on the size of the members shown in the current photos, if you want to wipe out all, it will take at least about 2 hours of preparation time, and it will happen to be nightfall by then, which is more conducive to the army's secret operations. When the enemy is aware of us, It’s not difficult to annihilate them when it’s dark.”

"Okay, everyone is ready to act. This time we will give Magneto the war he desires!"

"yes!"

The neat sound of acknowledgment echoed in the command center. After issuing the specific instructions, the president glanced at the busy crowd around him with satisfaction, and then moved his gaze to the beast Hank who looked out of place with the rest of the people in the room.

The other party's exaggerated body shape and blue fur stood out in the crowd, making it difficult not to attract attention.

As the Department of Mutant Affairs under the Ministry of Defense, Minister Hank does not have the power to mobilize troops, but he is the best mutant expert.

And he has the priority right to know and advise on all federal government policies and actions involving mutant affairs.

Therefore, every time the federal government is about to implement a major decision-making and measure against mutants, the president will specially invite him to participate in the meeting and consult his specific opinions in advance.

Hank has a close relationship with the X Academy. In a sense, he can also represent the political trend of the mutant dove faction. In the face of this force, even the federal president cannot ignore it.

"Hank, regarding the matter regarding the fraternity, College X has made it clear that it will not get involved, right?"

After saying this, and seeing Hank nod slightly in affirmation, the only worry that hung in the heart of the federal president completely dissipated.

The main reason why College

This incident also made the government fully understand the exaggerated power contained in this gentle old man's body. Although the special plastic weapons now equipped by the army can effectively restrain Magneto's metal manipulation, they are still useless for teaching psychic abilities. Vulnerable, so he must pay attention to X Academy's opinions on this matter.

As long as the professor does not intervene, Magneto, who has been locked in his lair, will have no chance of escaping. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, and a smug smile gradually appeared on his face.

But the next second, a sudden male voice not far away suppressed the smile that had just appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. President, I think we may be a little too optimistic. The discovery of the Brotherhood's station is too coincidental. We need to be careful that this is just a trap responsible for attracting military firepower."

"Once the main force of the large army is attracted by this so-called station, if Magneto takes the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Alcatraz Island, then we will most likely fall into an embarrassing situation where our troops cannot be mobilized quickly."

The words stopped, and the federal president looked sideways in the direction from which the voice came. He saw that the speaker was a somewhat unfamiliar face, but he was dressed in a neat military uniform. He should be a liaison representative sent to the command center by a certain military unit.

This time, the forces mobilized to suppress the Brotherhood were huge and complicated. It was normal for some unfamiliar faces to appear in the command center, but anyone who could reach here must have gone through multiple audits, so there was no need to worry about their safety.

Thinking about the information expressed in the words of this unfamiliar face, the president's eyes flashed. Although it was not a pleasant thing to be forcibly interrupted when he was full of pride, what the other party said did make some sense. With Magneto's cunning, this bait-and-confuse approach was not impossible.

"Trask, what do you think?"

"Sir, the possibility of it being a trap is not high. The satellite has now locked onto the Brotherhood's base. Although we cannot see the details of the base for the time being due to the dense forest, the specific flow of personnel has been under the surveillance of our radar. The other party will not have the opportunity to transfer members and set traps."

"And even if this is really a pre-arranged induced trap, it doesn't matter. We will not move the defense forces stationed on Devil's Island. As long as Magneto dares to attack it, he will only get a bloody end. We can completely fight on two fronts without interfering with each other. This kind of induced division trap will not play a big role..."

In the room, with Trask's comprehensive explanation, the president's faint doubts began to gradually fade away. Looking at the large area of ​​dense white dots on the satellite image in front of him that showed no signs of transfer, he once again showed the joy of great things coming to fruition.

"Okay, then continue to gather the troops, and when the time comes, we will directly launch a siege, and remind the garrison on Alcatraz to be vigilant against surprise attacks!"

"Understood!"

…………

Behind him, the person who had previously reminded the president to be careful of the trap looked helplessly at the people in front of him who were busy again. He was naturally a contractor belonging to the human forces.

In the original plot, Magneto used the clone who could create clones infinitely as a trap, thus creating the illusion that all members were present at the old station of the Brotherhood. While successfully restraining a large number of government troops, he also took the opportunity to allow the Brotherhood to attack Alcatraz without hindrance.

Although the situation in the X-Men world has already collapsed compared to the original plot, the station trap should not have changed much. He originally intended to try to reverse the plot by pointing out that this was a trap in advance, but now it seems that the effect is minimal.

Even though he had climbed to the middle and high-level positions of the human military with his superb charm in just ten days, the strategic decision involving the government center was still not something that could be easily shaken by his current position. There was not much evidence that could easily convince people, just like raising a warning was the limit of what he could do at present.

Thinking of this, he sighed imperceptibly and began to silently send a message to his own leader through the special channel within the adventure group.

‘Boss, persuasion failed. The people are insignificant, and the federal government is very confident in its own strength. They think that even a trap will not affect the military's exquisite layout. ’

‘Oh, as expected, stubborn and blindly arrogant, these have always been the characteristics of the human high-level. Failure is okay. As long as your advance warning can leave more impressions in the government's strategic center, it can't be considered a complete failure. ’

‘In the final analysis, the final outcome of this antidote battle still depends on the fighting on Devil Island. Now the various forces stationed on this island are much more lively than in the original plot. The human side may not necessarily lose. At least half of the contractors in this world will soon gather here. You should always pay attention to the movements of the strategic center and notify me immediately if there is any abnormality. ’

‘Don’t worry, boss. By the way, you should be more vigilant against the X-Men. The professor has not left the stage yet, and Beast Hank is still the Minister of Mutant Affairs. From these signs, the X-Men should have joined a big boss, and he is planning deeply! ’

‘Yeah. ’

…………

The busy noise in the command center continued, and just as the contractor in the crowd was secretly sending a message, a pair of blue pupils in the dark were quietly looking at him.

‘Coincidence? Or is it the timeline crosser mentioned by Xinhuo who has the same origin as him? ’

Recalling the detailed instructions that Xinhuo had given him in the principal's office before leaving X Academy yesterday, Hank silently memorized the appearance of this contractor, and then reached his broad palm into his pocket and quietly crushed a glass marble with a tiny Xinhuo inside.

………

While Hank was quietly crushing the marble, Xu Yue, who was far away in X Academy, also sensed the dissipation of the internal Xinhuo at the first time.

“Minister Hank sent a message that the Brotherhood and the government military have begun their actions, and the war is about to begin. Get ready to go.”

X Academy, in the wide lawn behind the castle.

More than a dozen X-Men members wearing the same black uniforms were coming out of the back door of the castle. The leader was Xu Yue, who was pushing the professor's wheelchair and walking quickly, and at the end was a group of young faces with a somewhat timid temperament.

They are the X-Men reserves selected by Storm. There are currently ten of them, most of them are senior students in the academy. The most special ones are a birdman with white wings on his back, and a blue figure with pointed ears and fangs, and a long triangular tail swaying behind him.

The external images of the two are very similar to the angels and demons in mythology. They look like reappearances of myths and have great visual impact.

One of the angels is Warren Worthington III, who escaped from Worthington Tower a few days ago. After escaping from his family because he did not want to be injected with the antidote, he wandered around without a fixed location for a long time, and finally chose to join the mutant community. The prestigious X Academy.

The professor did not refuse him to join because of his special relationship with the Worthington Group. Instead, he readily accepted it. Then based on his dexterous flying ability and good physical fitness, Storm took the initiative to drag him into the X-War not long after. The police reserve force became one of those who was about to go to the battlefield.

The demon's name is Kurt Wagner, codenamed Nightcrawler. His abilities include instant teleportation, solid attachment, and high dexterity. Not only his appearance, but also his various abilities are very similar to those of the demon.

From a blood point of view, he is the son of Mystique, but the two parties have not recognized each other. During the three-year dam incident, this mutant became acquainted with the X-Men. Although he did not join the academy, they have a great relationship with each other. Qian, Storm just made him volunteer to become a member of the X-Men reserves with just a phone call.

After a while, everyone, led by Xu Yue, stopped in a wide lawn.

Scanning the empty lawn in front of him, Logan behind him raised his eyebrows slightly and asked doubtfully:

"Xinhuo, where is the armed battleship you mentioned that can carry all of us?"

If you want to quietly rush to Devil's Island, which has been blocked by the government at all levels, the importance of transportation is self-evident. In fact, the jet fighter with stealth capabilities in the college's underground base is very suitable, but the fighter's rather limited body However, it is difficult to accommodate the current number of X-Men, which has reached more than ten people.

Just when everyone was hesitant about what to choose, Xu Yue informed everyone a few minutes ago that he had an armed warship that could carry everyone, and led them all the way to the flat and empty terrain.

Feeling the doubtful glances coming from behind him, he did not open his mouth to explain. Instead, he took out the captain's token and a soul crystal (small) from the space, and then crushed them directly.

As the two items were shattered at the same time, ripples gradually appeared in the space in front of Xu Yue, and large shadows were cast. In the shocked eyes of everyone, a huge armed warship nearly a hundred meters long slowly emerged from the void, and finally Landed with a bang.

In an instant, the ground shook, and the hurricane set off when it landed swept away a large amount of grass clippings, shaking the hair of the X-Men not far away and causing them to fall backwards.

A powerful hurricane hit them head-on, tearing everyone's cheeks apart, but at this time, none of them had time to pay attention to the strangeness on their faces. Instead, they were all attracted by the strange and huge thing in front of them.

The nearly 100-meter-long body is like a small mountain range. The white sails unfolding outward on both sides are like a pair of giant wings. The golden paulownia wood on the surface of the battleship exudes a bright luster under the sunlight, as if the entire body is made of gold.

The overall grandeur and majesty of the battleship, combined with the extremely streamlined hull and the exquisite and unique hull fortress, this crystallization of civilization from an alien kingdom made everyone present marvel as soon as it arrived. He was stunned for a moment. This was a huge impact brought by another great civilization's highest creation.

The cigar in his mouth fell from his slightly parted lips, and his eyes wandered carefully on the battleship. Logan murmured:

"Now I completely believe the ridiculous timeline-spanning origin you mentioned before."

Hearing this, Xu Yue's expression in front of the crowd did not change, and he just said lightly:

"Come on board. This battleship is called the Sun Chaser. The battleship also has optical stealth equipment on its surface. It can completely block conventional vision and radar detection. Don't worry about its concealment. We need to be the first to reach the sky above Alcatraz Island and hide it to wait for the opportunity. ”

"good!"

There was a chorus of shouts from behind. Logan and Storm were relatively stable, but the younger X-Men reservists were completely excited.

In the past, they had only heard of this kind of wooden warship that could control the air in stories. Now that the fantasy has become reality, it is difficult to remain calm for a while. Even the fear and fear that originally arose from facing the battlefield are no longer there. Being quickly diluted, they all excitedly rushed towards the huge battleship not far away. After a while, they all boarded the deck through their own means.

"Xinhuo, I..."

While the crowd was running around, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in Xu Yue's ears. The speaker was Scott, who had generally recovered from his injuries.

Although the words had not yet been finished, Xu Yue quickly guessed what the other party wanted to say due to the hope in his eyes, so he interrupted directly:

"Scott, you need to stay in the college to protect the professor. Don't worry, we will bring Qin back to the college safely."

"..."

Protecting the professor is just an excuse. Scott is in extremely poor condition now, and Qin will also appear on the battlefield. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xu Yue cannot risk taking him to the Alcatraz Island battlefield.

Perhaps Scott also understood the reason behind Xu Yue's lack of direct explanation. He was silent for a few moments, then lowered his eyes at the professor beside him, and finally nodded in acquiescence.

Seeing that he had persuaded Scott who was about to make a move, Xu Yue also looked at the professor sitting in the wheelchair. After a brief farewell, he unfolded the fire wings behind his back and flew into the sky.

"Professor, let's go."

The farewell was torn apart by the strong wind caused by the flapping wings, and Xu Yue's back figure quickly fell on the deck of the battleship and disappeared.

A few minutes later, the roar of the engine gradually spread, and the huge armed battleship slowly rose. When it flew to the mid-air, a layer of invisible ripples appeared on the surface of the battleship, and then the entire hull disappeared inch by inch in the sun. Looking around, the cloudless sky was clear and there was no debris.

Below, the green waves of the lawn were layered and undulating. After a long time, the professor, who kept his head up, retracted his sight and whispered:

"Scott, push me to the brain wave amplification room. Qin will be back soon. I will make up for my previous mistakes."

"Professor..."

"Let's go."

"Yeah."
