It was not far from Gotham to New York. It only took two to three hours by plane. Of course, it would be even faster if it was a private jet. However, as the boss of The Devil Gang, it was a little too degrading to take a plane when traveling.
Saber was wearing a casual suit that was convenient for moving around. On the outside, he wore a casual trench coat that he liked very much. He wore sunglasses and played with a cigar in his hand. Behind him, The Devil Gang and a group of The Devil Gang veterans who had been tested in the war at Hell's Gate were ready to go.
In the square in front of them, two gang members who had contracted demon warlocks were preparing a large teleportation circle. Far away in New York's Hell's Kitchen, an equally large and complex magic circle was ready. It was obviously a two-way magic circle.
The Devil Gang's act of contracting demons finally brought them more mysterious power. The mastery of teleportation skills would make their mobility unparalleled. Of course, with the current The Devil Gang, it was obviously unrealistic to build a permanent teleportation circle. For the magic faction, they were just beginners.
"I'll make three rules with you first!"
Saber turned his head and said to the fully armed little girl and her companions standing beside him, "Maybe you have experienced many challenges, but this time, it is likely that you will face a veteran like Magneto and his Brotherhood that he has carefully prepared for decades. So, I may not have too much energy to spend on you. First, protect yourselves. Second, protect yourselves. Third … I don't think I need to say more."
He snorted.
"I don't need you to contribute much. This time, I just want you to familiarize yourself with this level of war. To be honest, I don't know what kind of people we will provoke in the end, but for The Devil Gang …"
Saber lowered his head and lit the cigar. He exhaled a mouthful of smoke. The giant teleportation circle in front of him emitted a dark green light and quickly formed an arc-shaped light curtain-like channel in front of him.
"Listen carefully. You can repay kindness later, but revenge must not be delayed. The dish of revenge will not taste good when it is cold!"
"Set off!"
On the other side, Eric Lancher led his three men to walk through the prison where he had been imprisoned for more than half a year. He felt that things had changed, but the high-tech passage in front of him had been destroyed by an incomprehensible force.
It was as if a hungry beast had wreaked havoc here. Whether it was the walls or the ground floor, there were some completely irregular bite marks. The missing parts looked as if they had been bitten off. Although the person who caused all this had already left, just looking at the cracks made people shudder.
"Look here!"
Eric's hand touched the edge of the broken wall. He said softly, "Look at this power that makes people want to kneel down and worship it. This is what I want … This is the power that belongs to the Mutants in my dreams!"
"God-like... this is a power that does not belong to this world."
His exclamation was like the chant of a cultist. The three men behind him could not help but have goosebumps. The big man with the stone helmet whispered:
"My Lord, could she have already …"
"No, it can't be!"
Magneto reached out and interrupted the big man's words. He seemed to know what he was worried about. He took a deep breath and looked at the flashing exit in front of him:
"Charles is not weak enough to be killed at will..."
Even though he said that, Eric still quickened his pace and led his confidant into the darkness ahead.
At this time, in a dark cell not far from them, through a layer of glass made of special material, Professor X, who was sitting in a wheelchair, raised his head weakly and saw the woman suspended in the air 150 feet below. She was holding a dead guy in a prisoner's uniform in her hand.
When he saw the man, Charles' eyes flashed with unconcealable sadness. It was Stryker's son, Jason. His ability was to influence the thinking of others and construct false pictures in his mind. He was known as the Master of Illusions, but after he brutally killed his mother, Stryker broke his limbs, removed his prefrontal lobe, and completely turned him into an illusion machine.
The Xavier Academy was captured overnight because Hydra extracted a potion from Jason's brain fluid that could weaken resistance consciousness. Coupled with the control ability of Purple Man, even Professor Charles, who was caught off guard, was not spared.
After the prison was destroyed by the Force of Annihilation, Jason's tragic life ended here. He was once a disciple of Professor Charles, but now, he and the Professor are separated by life and death.
The Professor's cage was specially made. When the prison was built, the threat of Top Mutants was taken into account. Therefore, when Eric was held, the prison was trimmed into a completely special material with very weak molecular activity. At the same time, Magneto was injected with special drugs every day to suppress the activity of the X gene in his body.
It is said that Eric Lancher spent nearly 200,000 US dollars for every day he spent in this prison. Now, when it is used to hold Professor Charles, Hydra has used a more extreme method to reshape the entire cage with materials that can isolate Psychic Force, and at the same time, spray the weakening drug into the cell 24 hours a day in the form of a spray.
That was how they managed to trap the old Mutant in there.
Professor Charles sat in a wheelchair. His face was yellow, his face was full of wrinkles, and there was undisguised weakness in his eyes. From his body to his spirit, it was as if he had aged more than 20 years at the same time. In fact, anyone who sees him now will not associate him with the bipolarity of the entire Mutant World. This is clearly a disabled old man.
The woman in dark red clothes and hood threw Jason's body into the cage. The body was completely torn apart in mid-air by an invisible and violent force, turning into dust and dissipating into the darkness. Seeing this scene, Professor Charles' expression became extremely shocked. He coughed in his throat as if he was frightened.
Because the one floating in front of him and doing cruel things is clearly his proud disciple … Grey Jean.
"You've weakened too much."
Grey Jean was suspended in the air, and the Psychic Force around her even distorted the air. That power did not have the comfort and peace of Professor Charles' Psychic Force. On the contrary, it was full of violence and destruction, which seemed to be a direct synonym for disorder and chaos.
And the energy level of this energy has already exceeded the limit of Alpha Mutants. She has crossed the ordinary level and entered the ranks of the most mysterious Omega-level Mutants. The biggest characteristic is the power of "creating something out of nothing".
"You are not Jean, nor Phoenix … Who are you!"
Professor Charles looked weakly at the woman floating quietly in the air, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes: "What did you do to Jean?"
"I am her!"
The woman stretched out her finger, and a pure black energy wrapped around her fingertip. Like a poisonous snake coming out of its nest, it quickly tore a big hole in the composite cage in front of her. Like the most terrifying army ants, it corroded the crack quickly enough for an adult to freely pass through.
She stretched out her leg in the void and stepped on the floor of the cell. Her black hair fluttered in the air, and she looked extremely beautiful. But when she raised her head, her pair of completely black eyes made people shudder. She calmly looked at Professor Charles in front of her, and a trace of pleasant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I am your disciple, Grey Jean, but I will not be deceived by you anymore. Charles, the seal you set in my mind has deceived me for 24 years! Do you plan to continue deceiving me? "
"I didn't deceive you!"
Professor Charles' hands clasped on the armrests of the wheelchair, and he retorted: "I'm just saving you!"
"You used chains to lock me up, and created a world for me with lies. You intend to let me spend my life in a lie, and you call this saving me?"
The black-eyed Grey Jean heard the professor's rebuttal and couldn't help but raise her left hand. Accompanied by her anger, what gushed out was a spiritual power that the weak professor couldn't resist at all. It lifted his body directly from the wheelchair and lifted him into the air, forcing his body to the extreme, like a person being tortured.
The tyrannical power suppressed the professor's resistance. She looked directly at the professor, and her face was full of anger:
"Enough, I've had enough of your lies! Apologize to me now, and then you will receive the death you deserve! "
"Don't be like this! Grey, you shouldn't fall into darkness! This isn't you! "
The professor resisted the tearing pain from his body, and he shouted: "Let me help you! Open your mind, let me expel it! "
The professor's spiritual power tried to enter the mind of Grey Jean, but it was blocked by a thick and unbreakable barrier. Grey Jean looked at him with a hateful gaze and growled in a low voice:
"Don't come near me! Get out! "
"Get out of my mind!"
"Boom!"
The whole cage door behind them shattered in an instant, as if it was hit by an invisible fist. All the moving things around were suspended in the air under the support of this force, and they quickly rotated around Grey Jean and Professor Charles before they disappeared.
This scene was terrifying. Looking at Grey Jean in the eye of the storm, looking at her fluttering hair, and the ground under her feet that began to crack and deform, this scene was like the end of the world.
"Charles, hold on!"
Magneto's voice came from the corner. When he saw Professor X, who was about to be torn apart by the [Annihilation Storm], Magneto immediately threw out the metal cane in his hand. The silver-white cane quickly split into hundreds of metal fragments in the air. Under the control of the majestic magnetic force, the fragments abruptly pierced into the [Annihilation Storm], trying to save Professor X, who was in danger, from the hands of Grey Gin.
Magneto and Professor X were a pair of very interesting people. They were close comrades in the early years, and had even organized the Cuban nuclear bomb crisis together and fought against the most powerful mutant, Apocalypse. In this respect, they were definitely friends who had gone through life and death together.
But both of them belong to the kind of ambitious people who want to save the Mutant community in their own way. Their ideas are very different, so after the conflict, no one is willing to give in, so they have become two hostile existences. But we can't deny their friendship because of this.
In fact, the friendship between Professor Charles and Magneto has long exceeded the category of enemies. Just like Charles will subconsciously let go of Magneto when he has the advantage, now when Professor X is on the verge of death, the first one to jump out to save him is also Eric Lancher.
"Don't provoke her!"
Magneto manipulated the magnetic field with both hands and struggled to weaken the psychic barrier around Grey Jean. The addition of this strong support made the power exerted by Grey Jean suddenly weaken, and it also let Professor Charles see an opportunity.
He should have withdrawn from the range of influence of the storm, but he gritted his teeth and did not do so. On the contrary, he summoned all his strength and broke a crack in Grey Jean's psychic defense in front of him, and projected his consciousness into the mind of this mutated disciple again.
"Abandoned! Jean … I'll help you! I'll take you … home! "
"I have no home! Get out of my mind … Get out! "
The price of this invasion was that Grey Gin's already manic power once again erupted, smashing Magneto, who was maintaining the movement of the magnetic field, away. Professor Charles was bleeding from his seven orifices as he rolled to the edge of the cage that had been destroyed beyond recognition.
The next moment, his body was lifted up by that violent force. Grey Gin's face was filled with undisguised malevolence.
"For your lies … Go to hell!"
Magneto raised his head from the ruins of the passage and looked at the scene in front of him. He stretched out his hand, and a huge magnetic force gathered into the shape of dark lightning and struck Grey Jean. It broke three layers of psychic shields in a row, but in the end, it failed to stop the fatal outbreak of the manic psychic power.
"Jean … Don't let it control you!"
A wisp of smoke-like thing floated out from Professor Charles's skin. It was a piece of destroyed skin. Despair flashed in the eyes of Professor Charles and Magneto at the same time.
"Charles! No! "
Just when the cage was about to be destroyed, a figure suddenly appeared and flashed into the cage that was about to be destroyed. He landed on the ground in front of Professor Charles like a superhero. He looked left and right and his eyes stayed on the mutated Grey Jean for a few seconds. He looked back at Charles and saw Eric not far away. His playful voice sounded in this hellish space.
"Hey, guys! Are you having a farewell party? "
