The mutants' plan was simple; they didn't expect to destroy the palace on Mount Everest or even kill the "Master of Qionghua" with just a few level two or three mutants. They came here simply to respond to the "unfair treatment" that mutants in China had suffered over the past six months.
The plan went smoothly. With the ability to "invisible," the three easily bypassed the blockade and then used the "stone's" ability to penetrate deep into the bottom of "Mount Everest"—not the center, of course, as such a long distance was beyond the capabilities of a level three mutant.
Finally, the "explosive" repeatedly released its power into the surrounding area, turning the soil into an unstable, high-energy explosive. While one or two uses of the "explosive's" power would be insignificant, the repeated releases took a full three hours to transform nearly ten cubic meters of material into an unstable, high-energy explosive.
It's a pipe dream to think that it could collapse Mount Everest with its power, but it could at least shake the mountain and give the "Master of Qionghua" at the top a jolt.
During the escape, "Dynamite" recalled his mindset when he first awakened his abilities and used them to "prank" a few stray dogs and cats. His feelings then were similar to his current ones: excitement mixed with unease.
After reviewing every detail and confirming that there were no oversights, he placed the "explosive" with his hands clasped together at a safe distance.
As the ground trembled slightly, the unsuspecting pedestrians around gasped in alarm. The massive and majestic mountain range tumbled down with the tremors, and although no one was injured, it still gave the climbers a fright. They had to suspend their "seeking immortality" activities due to the possibility of an earthquake.
Meanwhile, down below, the "explosives," having verified the success of their operation, were quite satisfied.
This level of "slap in the face" was enough for both him and the mutant in the Brotherhood who had entrusted him with the task. There was no need to really strike at "Qionghua." It was enough to prove that he was not as powerful and terrifying as the mutants thought. To a large extent, the reason why no mutant in the country dared to stand up and raise their voices when faced with the pursuit of "Qionghua disciples" was because they were afraid that the "Qionghua leader" would come knocking on their door.
If the "leader of Qionghua" is proven to be a mere facade, the mutants will rally under the Brotherhood's leadership, and perhaps one day they will even return to Asia and storm the "Qionghua" sect, which has now replaced the American government and become the most oppressive force against mutants in the world.
"That guy is a genius. The so-called 'Qionghua Sect Leader' is nothing special after all. With the strength of the three of us, we can even walk through this 'dragon's den and tiger's lair.' Who knows, maybe we can reach the top directly after we become stronger in the future."
With confidence in their abilities and anticipation for the future, the three mutants were no longer as cautious as before, but instead made their way towards the border in a half-concealed manner: the Brotherhood was there.
……
Magneto seemed a little uneasy today.
The Brotherhood's efforts to absorb mutants from other countries to expand its ranks continue. In terms of sheer numbers, there are now more than three times as many mutants as there were six months ago. With a period of development, it's no surprise that they will completely defeat Professor X's mutant academy and become the world's strongest mutant organization... Clearly, this is not the source of the unrest.
Could it be that Professor X couldn't stand it and was going to step in to stop it?
After making this speculation, Magneto immediately rejected the possibility.
The person who knows you best in the world is often your opponent. As an enemy who has been entangled with Professor X for decades, Magneto knows Professor X's character very well. He won't be foolish when it comes to matters of right and wrong concerning mutants. After all, it is a fact that mutants are being persecuted, so he will not stop Magneto's rescue efforts.
or……
Looking at the distant, continuous mountain range, Magneto's unease grew stronger and stronger.
Marvel Universe: Chapter 840 Entrapment (Part 2)
Contrary to the expectations of "Dynamite," "Invisibility," and "Stone," when they arrived at the Brotherhood of Mutants' headquarters after risking their lives to complete their mission, they did not receive heroic treatment. Instead, they registered like any other ordinary mutant and became one of the many unremarkable "stray dogs" who fled the country.
"Damn it, what are they doing? Don't they know how much danger we're risking for the Brotherhood?"
Just as "Dynamite" was angrily trying to find the person in charge of the fraternity's headquarters to complain, he suddenly saw his own face—not in a mirror, of course, but on a television screen in a room that was playing the news.
The scene of "explosives" on the screen is not unfamiliar, after all, he had been there for less than half a day and was taking action for his future... But weren't they invisible at that time?
Staring in disbelief at the scenes unfolding on the screen, from meeting at the foot of Mount Everest, to using stealth to infiltrate, to using the ability to manipulate rocks to dig out a tunnel, and then to making and detonating explosives—the whole process was like a movie shoot, with no "key" detail overlooked.
Moreover, at the very end of the scene, they were shown entering the Brotherhood of Mutants' territory, a moment that had occurred just minutes earlier. Upon seeing this, "Dynamite" looked up in astonishment and glanced around. Although there was nothing around him, a tremendous sense of panic gripped his heart, causing his breathing to quicken.
The image on the screen ended, and was replaced by a figure quite famous in the domestic underground community; the mutants around him were already calling out his name—
"Flying White Sword and Crimson Ruyi!"
Why is he in the news?
What were those just now?
……
What you just witnessed was a terrorist attack launched against the righteous sect of Qionghua by three demons... oh, what you perceive as mutants.
"Dynamite's" face suddenly turned pale. He could feel the gazes around him, some filled with doubt, some with wariness, but without exception, none of them were friendly.
Some actions are considered "heroic" and "correct" if they go unnoticed, but if they are discovered, the only outcome is being labeled a "sinner" and "wrong."
[For a long time, many people in China have believed that our attitude towards these mutants is too harsh, resorting to guarding (chasing), imprisoning (and killing) them at the drop of a hat. But is that really the case? No! Just look at what these mutants have done—]
"Dynamite" had become numb, because what appeared on the screen were some of the things he did using his abilities before "Qionghua" found him.
After discovering that even blowing animals to pieces could no longer evoke any emotional response from them, the mutants, who considered themselves to have reached the "threshold," naturally turned their attention to their own kind.
Like many mutants who suddenly gain power but are not bound by it, they try to prove in this most direct and brutal way that they have surpassed their former selves and the limitations of the term "ordinary people".
Accompanied by a violent explosion on screen, an accidental "gas leak" occurred.
Then the focus shifted to the "Mount Everest incident," which had occurred less than half a day prior. The terror on the faces of those who were nearly crushed by the rolling boulders was so stark that "Dynamite" abandoned all thought and simply listened blankly to the sounds reaching his ears.
[It has been proven that the wickedness of mutants is ingrained in their very being. From birth, they are infected with genes of brutality and ferocity, making them a completely different species from humans. It is said that human nature is inherently good, but the nature of mutants is violence and disorder. They seek to break the rules, kill their own kind, and take pride and satisfaction in it—they are not worthy of being called human; they are monsters, demons, monsters that must be exterminated!]
The scene shifts to a facility.
The mutants around them shouted, pointing to the sky.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky, standing on a "magic sword" and carrying a camera on his shoulder, pointing the lens at the scene below—the one displayed on the screen.
As humans born in a land of etiquette, we have always treated guests from the outside world with friendliness and harmony. But as you have seen, what exactly did these 'guests' from across the Pacific Ocean do?
They shield barbarity, condone violence, exacerbate domestic conflicts, and incite internal strife; their intentions are despicable!
On the other side, Magneto, who was separated by most of the map, suddenly changed his expression. Just as he was about to take action to stop it, a loud noise from the sky forced him to turn his attention upwards.
The situation continues.
All these deeds are enough to show that the mutants' desire to destroy us is undiminished. Now, we, the disciples of Qionghua, upholding the fearlessness and courage to slay demons and purify the world, formally declare war on the Brotherhood of Mutants. We also warn all organizations, forces, or groups that attempt to interfere in this war against demons in any way.
In this war, we will not be limited by race, region, or nation. It is everyone's responsibility to vanquish evil. We are prepared to step onto any battlefield and fight anyone, whenever necessary, solely to cleanse the world and restore order!
……
In the first few minutes after the "declaration of war" was issued, the area where the Brotherhood of Mutants had set up to receive mutants fleeing the country was relatively quiet, since not everyone pays attention to the news all the time.
However, as the information spread among some insiders, unrest was inevitable, and the three "culprits" were the first to be implicated.
"What the hell did you do?!"
Why provoke those lunatics?
"Kill them! They must be spies for those lunatics, fabricating excuses!"
In the chaos, "Dynamite," "Stone," and "Invisibility" were scattered. His abilities could only be used for ambushes and attacks. He was completely powerless against multiple mutants. In despair, he begged for mercy, trying to tell them that he was actually hired by the Brotherhood, but all of that was destined to be in vain.
The anger of being "betrayed" makes them give up thinking, while fear compels them to take action. When those who have given up thinking begin to act, logic and reason become meaningless.
People don't think about why the three mutants did what they did; they only know that these three mutants brought about a nightmare they thought was over...
"—They're here!"
It's unclear who was the first to shout, but when the second voice rang out, it was already a scream, and then the third, the fourth, the fifth... countless voices converged and resounded through the sky.
"Slay demons and demons!"
"Slay demons and demons!"
"Slay demons and demons!"
……
Marvel Universe: Chapter 841 Magneto
As the first Qionghua disciple wielding the wielding sword stepped across the border, several "humans" of different origins also arrived at the mountain that had just been "attacked by terrorism," each with their own purpose.
They didn't spend too much time marveling at the "miracle" that was beyond human capability. They hurriedly stepped onto the territory that had been tacitly accepted as "Qionghua," only to find that there were already visitors there.
"We are not seeking confrontation, but only peace."
Facing the palace, the old man in the wheelchair appeared so powerless, yet his resounding voice was filled with an indomitable spirit.
One of his companions recognized him and exclaimed in surprise, "Professor X! What's he doing here?"
"If this has happened to all mutants in the country, why can't he be here?"
Should we stop him?
"Wait a minute, at least let's determine his stance first."
……
"Mutants are also human beings. We all come from the same past and embrace the same future. Why can't we seek peaceful coexistence instead of fighting each other with violence and killing?"
There was still no response from deep within the palace, but Professor X was certain that "he" was inside.
Not for any other reason than that "he" is the source that blocked Professor X from all his spiritual perceptions of the country beneath his feet.
Unlike Magneto, who devoted all his energy to absorbing mutants to expand the Brotherhood, Professor X chose to find the source of this oppression and try to solve it at its root, rather than dealing with the problem through violent confrontation.
In terms of results, he has succeeded most of the way, uncovering the truth and finding the facts. Now, only the last small part remains—persuading "him".
"Everyone makes mistakes. These children made mistakes because they didn't know how to use the abilities they had acquired. What we should do now is not to reject them, but to forgive and tolerate them."
"Stop with your pointless rhetoric; it makes no sense to him."
Magneto, who descended from the sky, interrupted Professor X's speech. He glanced casually at the crowd that was gasping in surprise again, then stared coldly at the inside of the palace: "The Brotherhood has had enough trouble already. I didn't intend to get involved in the events on your land, but it seems I have no choice but to get involved now."
"what do you want to do?"
"Give up, Charles. Here you can exert almost as much power as an old man."
Ignoring Professor X's attempts to stop him, Magneto swung his hand forward.
Under the distortion of the magnetic field, the large amount of metal he had brought with him formed the shape of an iron cone, piercing the palace gate with a terrifying shriek, revealing an entrance leading to the inside.
Just as they were about to step inside, Magneto suddenly pointed in Professor X's direction, directly sending one of the world's strongest mutants to the side of representatives of several domestic regimes.
"Take him with you; it's the only way you can survive."
The representatives, who hadn't even seen their target, were about to refuse, but faced with the various metallic creations lurking around Magneto, they ultimately accepted in silence.
Limited by the all-encompassing mental blockade ability, Professor X couldn't even resist a few ordinary people, and could only futilely ask, "Stop, what are you planning to do—"
“...If I lose, then it’s your job to do it, Charles.”
----------segmentation----------
Upon entering the palace, contrary to the expected darkness and cold, the interior felt as if it were bathed in the midday sun, bright and warm. Only the figure at the far end seemed out of place, remaining in the shadows.
A sword light, as clear as autumn water, lingered around him, and the hidden threat within forced Magneto to stop in his tracks.
"...You're the head of the Qionghua Sect?"
There was no answer, but Magneto took it as an admission and asked his second question: "Where is Mystique?"
This time, the figure did not remain silent, nor did it answer. Instead, it asked in a slightly questioning tone, "Don't you care about the mutants who follow you?"
As the Swordholders charged toward the "demons" on the border, Magneto did not choose to stay and help the mutants who followed him. Instead, he came directly to him to seek the whereabouts of Mystique, which surprised Lin Yi.
Using a method similar to "projection," the scenes unfolding at the border were projected throughout the interior of the palace, ensuring that Magneto below could see them clearly enough—
"Is this the guarantee you gave them?"
The mutant who controlled the magnetic field remained calm: "Change always comes with sacrifice. The blood they shed today will become the resources for the Brotherhood's growth in the future."
Lin Yi was taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Well said."
With one step forward, the face hidden in the shadows was completely exposed to Magneto's eyes.
After sifting through his memories, Magneto finally realized that he had absolutely no recollection of the face before him. Perhaps she had altered her appearance like Mystique? But even if she had changed her appearance, it couldn't have changed her abilities, and the abilities of this "Master of Qionghua" before him...
With a hint of unease, Magneto asked again, "Where is Mystique? If you can bring her back, I can represent the Brotherhood and withdraw from your territory."
With a surprised tone: "Didn't you already know?"
"what do you know?"
"Change comes with sacrifice."
He frowned, just as he was about to say something—
"So she was sacrificed."
"—!"
The sword light of Autumn Water was blocked less than twenty centimeters away from the sword in its previous position. It was clearly just an iron sword that had not even been sharpened, but under the accelerated rotation of the invisible force field, it managed to penetrate nearly half a meter of reinforced metal.
Without considering the true meaning of those words, Magneto, whose life hung by a thread, dared not be careless and immediately activated all his abilities.
氧、硅、铝、铁、钙,依旧其总量的从多到少,大地的元素含量中氧元素的比例是48.06%、硅元素26.30%、铝元素7.73%、铁元素4.75%、钙元素3.45%。
The main materials that make up this "sky city" also come from the ground, so it is naturally subject to this law.
As the "earth" beneath their feet trembled and cracked, a large amount of material mixed with metallic elements compressed and condensed towards the figure in their field of vision amidst Magneto's roar—
