Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

After a full half night of fighting, with the complete destruction of Alcatraz, the annihilation of the garrison troops, and the death and injury of most of the Brotherhood of Mutants, this far-reaching antidote battle finally came to an end.

But it is worth mentioning that the federal government and the Brotherhood, as the main conflicting parties in this battle, suffered heavy losses, and both sides suffered losses, while the X-Men who inserted themselves in the middle reaped all the benefits quietly.

‘Antidote’ Jimmy, Worthington II, Magneto, and even Jean were all brought back to this elegant castle in the suburbs by Xu Yue one after another.

It was midnight, and in the garden behind the castle, the cold moonlight on the lawn was gradually covered by a large spreading shadow. When the line of sight moved up, a large armed warship of about 100 meters was seen slowly descending from the sky.

Soon, accompanied by a dull sound spreading in the silent night, the Sun Chaser landed smoothly.

"Ororo, except for Little Naughty, you take the other reserve members back to the castle first."

Inside the battleship, Xu Yue's voice rang out on the deck. Hearing this, Storm, whose face was still a little pale, first glanced at Logan who was constantly breathing out smoke beside her, and then looked at the X-Men reserve members standing or sitting behind her.

In this battle, Storm's consumption was the highest among all, which can be seen from the fact that a black man's skin color revealed a little paleness, and the other reserve rookies who lacked combat experience were injured one after another.

But fortunately, there is the rapid healing effect of the Red Prison Armor as a guarantee, and the professor who has always been hidden behind the scenes is also quietly intervening in the entire battle situation. Therefore, it is commendable that until the end of the battle, this group of true rookies did not lose even one person.

However, compared with the physical injuries, perhaps for them, the mental shock is obviously more serious. After all, the various big scenes tonight are still too shocking for these newbies who are entering the battlefield for the first time.

Noticing the same bewilderment in the eyes of the people behind her, Storm's heart softened. When she took the initiative to summon thunder and killed several humans who persecuted her, her performance was no different from theirs now.

For most people, the first time they personally end the lives of their own kind is always a mixed feeling, especially for this group of reserve members who are now basically in their most sensitive and lively teenage years, and the mental impact of killing their own kind will only be greater.

Now they are in urgent need of rest and correct guidance, but before leading them away, she must first confirm one thing.

"That Qin..."

When their eyes met, Storm's worry was clearly revealed in her eyes. Without too many words, Xu Yue could understand the specific meaning of what she wanted to express. On the one hand, it was naturally her concern for Qin's current situation.

As for the other hand, with the destructive power Qin showed not long ago, if she was not careful, perhaps the entire castle and all the students inside would be destroyed in an instant.

"Don't worry, the professor and I will take care of Jean's matter. I won't rashly take her into the castle before I'm sure it's safe."

"...Okay."

After a moment of silence, Storm nodded in agreement after getting a firm guarantee, and then turned around to direct everyone to leave the battleship deck in an orderly manner.

For Storm, the educational experience she had been fighting for for more than ten years has tied her closely to the entire academy. The many students in the academy are even more important than her life, so she must be cautious about this.

With the help of Night Walker, the efficiency of everyone's transfer back to the castle was very fast, but in a blink of an eye, there were only three lonely people left on the battleship deck that was originally quite lively.

Among them, Little Naughty was the most nervous. Her mutant ability must rely on skin contact to take effect. Although the effect is powerful, its effectiveness conditions are extremely harsh for a girl like her with weak combat power.

Therefore, in the previous battle on Devil's Island, she was the only X-Men reserve who spent the entire battle on the Sun Chaser. Not to mention killing the enemy, she was extremely worried about even protecting herself on that bloody battlefield.

Until now, she didn't understand why Xu Yue insisted on taking her with him, let alone leaving her alone at this moment.

"Teacher Xinhuo, are we waiting for someone?"

The trembling voice of the girl came into his ears. Xu Yue glanced at this girl who looked the most mature among her peers. Although she was trying her best to be calm, her flickering eyes clearly revealed her inner panic.

"Relax, I just need to use your ability as an auxiliary for a while, and it will be of great benefit to you afterwards, at least it can greatly enhance your weak current state in normal state."

"So, wait with peace of mind."

After that, Xu Yue no longer paid attention to Xiao Taoqi's complicated thoughts, and turned to look far away to the right front. Soon, two black shadows approaching rapidly appeared at the end of his vision.

"Logan, the professor is coming soon. Take Jean out of the cabin and get ready."

"Okay!"

First, a hoarse voice sounded in my ears, followed by a series of hurried footsteps.

After hearing the news that the professor was coming, Logan, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately bit the cigar in his mouth to relieve his anxiety, and then turned and ran quickly towards the cabin door behind.

The footsteps behind him gradually became inaudible, while the two black shadows approaching rapidly in front became clearer and clearer. After a few seconds, even Xiao Diaoqi recognized the specific identity of the black shadow.

"Magneto?!"

The shadow slightly in front is easy to identify. An unusually eye-catching wheelchair is enough to reveal his identity. It is Professor X, who she is very familiar with, but the one behind is terrifying.

The scarlet cape flutters behind him, and an old and majestic face frowns slightly. It is Magneto who showed his power in San Francisco Bay not long ago. The only difference from Alcatraz is that he no longer has the iconic metal helmet.

Let’s not talk about the exaggerated ability that Magneto showed in Alcatraz for the time being. The real reason why Xiao Naughty is afraid of him is that she had experienced the pursuit of the Brotherhood a few years ago and was almost killed by Magneto as a sacrifice to realize his great plan.

The eye-catching white hair on her forehead is the mark left by her life force being almost sucked dry at that time. This near-death experience made it difficult for her to remain calm after meeting Magneto.

On the other side, Magneto naturally heard the sudden exclamation, and his cold eyes looked down, but after seeing the familiar face of the little rascal and a strand of white hair on his temples, he was stunned for a short time, and then the coldness in his eyes disappeared, but a gentle smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

A few years ago, the federal government was preparing to launch a mutant registration bill that affected the world, in order to control all known mutants and put chains on their necks in the name of safety.

Faced with this obvious malice, Magneto, as the leader of the hawks, was naturally the first to stand up. He invented an instrument that can use a magnetic field to forcibly activate the mutant genes in the target's body, so that humans can directly awaken to mutants.

And he planned to launch this instrument at the United Nations venue to catch all the human high-level people present. If this is successful, the conflict between humans and mutants will completely cease to exist, and the so-called mutant registration bill will naturally come to nothing.

However, if you want to transform hundreds or thousands of people at a time, the magnetic field energy required is unimaginably huge. Even he will die of exhaustion after being drained of energy.

When he was in a dilemma, the little rascal appeared. The special gene that can absorb the target energy and possess its ability through skin contact makes her completely capable of becoming the second Magneto, and also the best sacrifice to activate the instrument.

So without hesitation for too long, Magneto decisively chose to replace his own death with the other party's "sacrifice". In fact, he was not afraid of the coming of death, but the mutants needed Magneto's power, so he must not die.

But no matter what the specific reason is, it is not a glorious thing to sacrifice an underage girl to realize his ambition, especially since this matter has not been successfully successful.

The overly impatient Magneto did not realize that the humans whose mutant genes he forcibly activated could not last long, and often died miserably of gene collapse after a few days. His seemingly beautiful plan was actually doomed to fail from the beginning.

Therefore, the X-Men who discovered this fatal flaw in advance decisively intervened and crushed this plan that completely angered all mankind at the last minute. They also took the little rascal who almost died back to the X Academy.

The memories of the past quickly flashed through his mind. Magneto looked at the little rascal on the deck, who was in a panic, and his tone was as slow as possible.

"Relax, girl, at least I have no interest in you now."

But this comfort obviously did not work much. After hearing this, the little rascal not only did not relax, but also had a tendency to turn around and run away. Even though a long time had passed, she still remembered the extreme pain of being squeezed out of every inch of energy in her body by the instrument.

It was not until the professor who was also floating spoke that the panic in her heart that could not be contained gradually subsided like ice water melting.

"It's okay, Mary, I promise you, he will never hurt you again."

"Also, Eric, this is not an apology."

After saying that, Magneto curled his lips and said nothing, while the professor, after observing the little rascal's slowly relaxing expression, turned his eyes to Xu Yue on the opposite side.

"Xinhuo, how is Jean now?"

"She is in a stable sleep, but I can't break through her mental defense, so the specific situation in the mental space is not clear, but it should not be optimistic. Logan has gone to bring her out."

"Well, as long as she can be brought back safely, I will cure her this time."

"Tap tap..."

Amid the conversation, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out from behind the deck. Looking at the source of the sound, Logan was seen striding towards Jean with her eyes closed.

Soon the footsteps stopped, but in the blink of an eye, Logan walked all the way to the front of the battleship and looked up at the professor in the sky. As for Magneto, he just paused for a moment and then passed by.

Magneto, without a helmet as mental protection, could not cause any damage under the care of the professor.

"Professor, can we start? I can always hear her call, she... is in pain."

The professor's eyes fell on the red-haired figure in Logan's arms, and his eyes were complicated. Even though Jean was in a deep sleep, his brows were always furrowed, and there was a fierce color between his brows that he had never had in the past.

Although the choice to seal Jean's power and memory was a last resort, he still had an unshirkable responsibility for the other party's fall into this situation.

"She will be fine, I promise!"

"Eric, you can go."

Facing the sudden gaze of his old friend, Magneto did not act immediately. Instead, he frowned and stared into the professor's eyes, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"You want to seal her talent again? Suppress a being who is supposed to be the god of mutants?"

"Eric, power that cannot be controlled can never become a god. It is just a monster that only knows destruction. She cannot save mutants."

"Then who can? Just this guy who controls the flames and his plan that sounds extremely risky?!"

As he spoke, Magneto suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Yue, who was standing quietly on the deck. He just cast his gaze, but the giant battleship about a hundred meters below showed signs of faint tremors simultaneously.

The tremors under his feet could not shake Xu Yue's figure. He raised his eyes to meet Magneto King's cold eyes and said lightly:

"The mutants don't have time. You should have learned enough from the professor about this."

"Since both your method and the professor's ideas are doomed to failure in the future, why not try my plan? At least it has possibilities and has taken a solid first step."

Their eyes met, and after realizing that the other person's eyes had not wavered at all, Magneto slowly withdrew his gaze. Then he raised his palm slightly, and the four people on the deck levitated at the same time, surrounded by an invisible magnetic field.

"Then I'll wait and see."

As soon as the words fell, the group of people quickly disappeared into the darkness far away from the castle. As for the Sun Chaser, which was still in place, after ripples appeared around the hull, it disappeared directly into the lawn, except that the blades of grass were covered with it. The traces of heavy pressure are still there.

…………

In a jungle behind the castle, a huge silver-gray sphere stood quietly among the empty trees.

After a moment, black shadows quickly appeared in the sky. As the top of the sphere automatically unfolded, the floating black shadows also fell into the interior of the sphere one by one.

"Professor, where is this?"

"Brain wave amplification room."

Within the sphere, the professor gently soothed the little naughty's slightly uneasy mind, while Xu Yuezhuo beside him casually looked at this pure white space that was all too familiar to him.

Yes, this ball is the brainwave amplification chamber that should exist under the castle. However, for safety reasons, Magneto used his magnetic control ability to break it into pieces and move it out in advance.

If you want to re-seal the Dark Phoenix personality in Qin's mind space, or even eliminate it directly, you can't do it without the help of a brainwave amplifier.

In addition to this special device, the professor also found a mutant who was also proficient in psychic abilities to assist him.

"Charles, I think you should move faster. I can already feel the restless spiritual power of Phoenix."
