Chapter 137: 137. Rogue Sucking Everything Will Only Harm You! (Please subscribe!)
Rogue Mary looked at Eustass in shock.
"You, you... you can actually suck it back?"
Rogue Mary quickly asked, her mind temporarily unable to process it. This was too outrageous, even more World-shattering than being told there were Mutants.
"You're allowed to suck, but I'm not allowed to suck back?"
Eustass smiled at her.
"Uh, sorry, can we talk later? I feel like what you two are saying sounds a bit strange."
Chavez sat in the back, clutching her head, embarrassed.
Eustass glanced at the back of the carriage; a ball of fire was burning, and not far away was a gas tank.
The nano material on Eustass's hand transformed into a nano gauntlet, and the fire extinguishing system activated, directly spraying to put out the flames.
"Alright, let me see your leg."
Eustass said, then looked down at the passenger seat. Rogue Mary was stuck.
"It hurts!"
Rogue Mary quickly exclaimed.
"It'll be fine in a moment."
Eustass said, retracting the nano gauntlet on his hand. He reached out and grabbed the metal pinning Rogue Mary's leg, bending it directly.
Then he told Rogue Mary to stay put in the car.
"You two stay here. I'm going down to check on Logan."
With that, Eustass opened the car door, got out, and walked towards Logan.
Logan stood up and walked over. He had rolled quite a distance in the snow, but thankfully, his self-healing ability had completely healed his bodily injuries.
Logan quickly approached:
"How are they?"
"They're all fine."
Eustass said.
"Then..."
Logan was about to say something else, but then he glanced at the broken tree in the distance. For some reason, he didn't remember his past memories, but upon seeing the broken tree, he instinctively realized that the fractured wound didn't look like a natural break.
Instead, it looked more like it was man-made.
Logan quickly gave Eustass a look, hoping he would understand and be vigilant.
The next instant.
Logan's hands extended Adamantium claws. He continuously sniffed the air, vigilant of his surroundings.
A tall figure instantly lunged out from the snowy forest. He had long, pale yellow hair, beast claws on his hands, and let out a bestial roar as he lunged for Eustass's head.
The next instant.
Eustass raised a leg, infused with Armament Haki, and kicked the opponent directly in the chest.
Eustass's long leg kicked fiercely, sending the guy flying.
The person tumbled for a long time in the snowy forest, then scrambled away.
"A Mutant, but unfortunately too weak."
Eustass laughed.
He didn't need to use his Devil Fruit Ability or Rokushikito deal with such a weakling.
"You're very strong."
Logan exclaimed, "Where did you work before? Which unit?"
"I don't work for anyone."
Eustass waved his hand, then looked into the distance.
Amidst the snowstorm, two figures stood before them.
Eustass quickly donned his nano armor, placing the nano helmet on his head.
The two people in front were a beautiful woman with dark skin and white hair, who must be Storm Ororo Munroe.
And the man beside her, wearing special sci-fi glasses, was Cyclops Scott Summers.
Since the X-Men had arrived, Eustass had to be wary of Professor X.
He wasn't afraid of Professor X knowing he came from another World; he simply hated having his memories spied on.
The thought of Professor X following him in a wheelchair, endlessly lecturing him to do good, made him genuinely afraid he might not be able to resist killing him.
"Hello, I'm Ororo, and this is Scott."
The silver-haired Storm walked over, greeting them with a smile.
"Hello, beautiful."
Eustass smiled and shook hands with Storm, then glanced at Cyclops and withdrew his hand.
Cyclops:???
"You seem a bit special. Would you like to come with us to the Mutant Academy?"
Ororo looked at Eustass, asking with a smile.
"Okay."
Eustass nodded.
Going to the Mutant Academy wasn't a bad idea. After all, if he got involved in Mutant conflicts, Eustass felt there would be a higher chance of encountering Magneto.
Defeating Magneto should give him recharge points for the Pirate King World portal.
After all, he hadn't yet 'farmed' Magneto... New York, Westchester.
Mutant Academy.
Eustass, Wolverine, Rogue Mary, and Chavez arrived here by car.
Along the way, Chavez looked around curiously. She had traveled through many Worlds, but had never been to such an interesting Universe before.
There were so many people with special abilities here, like Rogue Mary and Wolverine.
And the newly met Storm and Cyclops.
Rogue Mary sat opposite Eustass, looking displeased at Storm.
When she learned that someone unaffected by her had appeared, and that he was a handsome guy... she felt life was full of sunshine, absolutely wonderful.
But as soon as Eustass got in the car, he started chatting with Storm.
She wouldn't say she liked Eustass yet, but someone who couldn't be harmed by her, someone she could touch.
To avoid a lonely future, she was already thinking about how to flirt with him.
But then Eustass got in the car and started flirting with Storm.
"What's your ability?"
Storm asked curiously.
Everyone looked over.
"First of all, I'm not a Mutant."
Eustass said.
"Don't joke. If your genes aren't mutated, how could you have such formidable strength?"
That was a very powerful Mutant just now, like a beast, yet you kicked him flying. Your mutation must be related to strength."
Cyclops quickly said.
"It really isn't."
Eustass waved his hand.
"Once I touch someone, or someone touches me, they get hurt by me. But he's perfectly fine, and he can even suck back the energy I absorb from him."
Rogue Mary said with a smile, even reaching out to hold Eustass's hand.
Everyone looked at them in surprise.
"Maybe it's absorbing energy or something."
Rogue Mary chuckled.
"No, no, no, it's not absorbing energy, because that energy is originally mine. My willpower is strong, so it's perfectly reasonable that I can suck it back, right?"
Eustass said, and everyone shook their heads.
They thought it wasn't reasonable at all!
"Alright, my ability is this."
Eustass said, and a large number of threads appeared on his hand. The threads intertwined, forming a string blade.
"Cool!"
Chavez exclaimed.
Wolverine looked at his own hands, then at Eustass's string blade that could be created without breaking the skin.
A little envious... "However, this isn't a genetic mutation, but a postnatal, non-heritable change. You can think of me as an ability user different from Mutants, a Devil Fruit Ability user."
Eustass said. It was fine to say it; Devil Fruits and Sea Stone factors didn't exist in this World anyway.
"Cool!"
Chavez quickly said.
"Is that the only thing you can say?"
Eustass teased.

"By the way, is this thing you're wearing some kind of high technology?"
Storm asked curiously.
"A high-level hat that can transform."
Eustass said with a smile, and the nano helmet instantly transformed into the shape of a hat and settled on his head.
"Amazing. You must be a remarkable scientist."
Storm praised.
"Not really. Someone else made this."
Eustass laughed. This was his wife's masterpiece.
He didn't intend to hide it, especially since Professor Xcould examine Chavez's memories and understand that they were people from another World.
Since they already knew that, the other party would definitely know that his nano armor was black technology from another World.
As I said before, he just didn't like others prying into his memories.
The group entered the campus, and Eustass watched the Mutant children running, chasing, and playing around.
This place was indeed interesting, filled with people who had many interesting abilities.
However, as far as he knew, among the students at the Mutant Academy, those with truly decent combat strength were few and far between.
"Some of them can phase through walls, some can run on Water, and some can conjure Fire out of thin air."
Cyclops pointed to the surrounding students and said, "When they first arrived, they were just like you, arguing that they weren't Mutants. Don't worry, after spending enough time here, you will accept your identity."
Eustass looked at Cyclops in surprise. He had said it several times: he was not a Mutant!
This guy... forget it.
This matter couldn't be easily explained.
Should he let them test Eustass's blood sample?
Eustass wouldn't agree to that. The Devil Fruit certainly wouldn't be passed down through genes.
However, the Haki and physical constitution within his body could be inherited by his descendants.
Eustass did not want his genetic sample stolen by someone, only for them to clone him in this World... sometime later.
Charles's office.
Eustass followed the group here.
"Good morning, Eustass, Logan, Mary, and Miss Chavez."
The bald Professor X sat in his wheelchair, looking at the group.
The children sitting opposite Professor X quickly picked up their textbooks and left the office.
"Please rest assured, I have no intention of reading your memories."
Professor X rolled his wheelchair closer, smiling as he looked at the hat Eustass was wearing on his head.
The hat, which was the transformed nano helmet worn by Eustass, could shield Professor X's psychic abilities through the magnetic field generated by the energy, preventing him from reading his memories.
However, Charles could still read the memories of Chavez, Logan, and Mary to understand their situation.
"You already read them."
Eustass teased.
"My apologies, it's a habit. I will definitely change in the future."
Charles quickly apologized.
Eustass smiled. It was said that Charles had been saying that exact phrase ever since he met Magneto.
Apologizing while simultaneously viewing other people's memories.
"Would you all like some breakfast?"
Professor X Charles quickly asked.
"You should introduce this place first."
Eustass said, "Otherwise, they might panic."
"No, I'm not panicking at all."
Chavez quickly shook her head.
She had Eustass beside her, plus so many powerful Mutants.
She felt very safe and couldn't panic even if she tried.
"This is the Special Human Academy in Shichister, New York State. We are responsible for looking after Mutantchildren, giving them a safe, comfortable, and unbiased environment to grow up in."
"And the few of you are also Mutants. Our Mutant Academy is willing to accept and help you all."
Professor X looked up at the group and said.
"Allow me to interrupt."
Eustass quickly waved his hand. Professor X nodded, watching him quietly and patiently.
"I am not a Mutant. I am a Devil Fruit Ability user, and I'm not part of your system at all."
Eustass quickly stated.
"Devil Fruit?"
Professor X was stunned. "Where is this folk tale from?"
"It's not a folk tale; it's a product from another World."
Eustass said. Professor X nodded, understanding in his heart.
"My apologies, my mistake. But I hope the other two can keep this a secret for them."
As soon as Professor X finished speaking, Logan and Mary nodded blankly.
What "other World"? They couldn't understand.
After all, they hadn't considered the concept of parallel Universes.
Storm Ororo and Cyclops Scott walked in, and soon after, Jean Grey also entered.
"Please rest assured, everyone. While you are here, Magneto cannot harm you. The one who attacked you earlier was Magneto's subordinate, Sabretooth."
Professor X stated.
Eustass listened to the title with confusion. What a strange name.
Wasn't it Sabretooth?
However, he had been transmigrated for too long. He had mostly forgotten the other Mutant characters, save for a few he particularly liked.
As for Logan, there was no need to ask; he had already lost his memory.
"Sabretooth?"
Logan also felt the name was a bit strange. He smiled and pointed at Ororo, "Storm?"
Logan was similar to Eustass; this guy also fantastically ignored the pretentious Cyclops.
He completely ignored Cyclops's title.
"Then what are you called? Wheelchair Man?"
He looked at Professor X.
Eustass almost burst out laughing. It had to be Wolverine.
Professor X had been renamed Wheelchair Man.
Wolverine grabbed Cyclops's clothes and told him to get lost. As a result, Professor X spoke into his mind, startling Logan.
"I suggest you go outside and take a look."
Eustass said with a smile. Although it was his first time at the Mutant Academy, he wasn't particularly surprised.
After all, before he was reborn into the Marvel Universe, he had watched the Mutant movies many times during his childhood.
"Thank you."
Logan finished speaking, pushed Scott aside, and walked out.
Eustass sat on Professor X's desk, looking at Jean Grey, who was wearing red clothes nearby.
"Hello, Eustass Mola."
Eustass extended his hand.
"Hello, Jean Grey."
Jean Grey reached out and shook his hand.
Rogue pouted sourly. Here we go again. She was certain this guy was a playboy.
Eustass chatted with Jean Grey but didn't let go, which prompted Cyclops Scott to cough twice in annoyance.
"Is your throat bothering you? Take more medicine."
Eustass teased, and simultaneously released Jean Grey's hand. Scott's expression improved slightly.
Eustass understood. These two were still a couple.
"We're going out to look at your school."
After saying this to Professor X, Eustass walked directly outside.
"I'll go with you."
Rogue quickly ran up to follow him.
Chavez looked at Rogue Mary in surprise. Couldn't she see how much of a flirt Eustass was?
She truly couldn't understand her.
Cyclops glanced at Eustass's retreating figure, clenched his fists, and followed.
Professor X looked at Cyclops's retreating figure, speechless.
But when it came to the affairs of young people, it wasn't really appropriate for him to interfere too much.
Chapter 139: Cyclops's Challenge! Judge Phoenix! (Please subscribe!)
As soon as Eustass and Rogue Mary walked out, Cyclopsfollowed them.
"New guy, interested in a little competition?"
Cyclops said, clenching his fists. He suspected someone was trying to poach, and he wanted to show the other party a thing or two.
"Compete in what, little brat?"
Eustass smiled as he looked at Cyclops.
In his eyes, Cyclops was indeed a little brat, a guy who hadn't experienced many dangerous battles.
Eustass had come a long way, from fighting Iron Mongerto fighting aliens, and then to defeating Thanos, experiencing countless battles.
He could easily beat this rookie Cyclops even without using his abilities.
"Can't you turn threads into weapons? Let's compete in shooting accuracy!"
Cyclops said.
Eustass laughed. Scott was really patient, not directly sparring with him to beat him up.
"Are you sure?"
Eustass asked.
"I'm sure!"
Cyclops nodded.
"How about this, I'll give you a handicap. I can win without using my abilities, believe it or not?"
Eustass chuckled.
"You dare look down on me!"
Cyclops was furious, thinking the other party was playing with him and despising him.
"You'll know if you try it."
Eustass chuckled.
"Try it then!"
After Cyclops said that, he turned and went to find Jean Grey.
Rogue Mary followed behind, strongly suspecting that Cyclops had discovered Eustass's intentions and wanted to suppress him.
"No, don't. His eyes can shoot lasers, you can't win."
Rogue quickly shook Eustass's hand.
"It's fine."
Eustass said with a smile, and casually sucked back his Haki that Rogue had automatically absorbed.
"So amazing!"
Rogue exclaimed in surprise.
"Then try absorbing it again, and I'll try to snatch it back."
Eustass said with a smile.
A female Mutant student passing by, who had just turned the corner, quickly looked at the two of them curiously.
"Uh, sorry, I misunderstood."
After saying that, the other party quickly ran off.
Rogue: "???"
Not long after.
On the lawn.
Jean Grey walked over and stood in front of a table, on which were four stacks of frisbees.
Two stacks were Eustass's, and two stacks were Cyclops's.
Jean Grey's ability could manipulate these frisbees to fly into the air, and then these two would shoot the frisbees. Whoever hit more and more accurately would win.
"Are you ready?"
Jean Grey quickly asked.
"You'd better get a gun, or darts or something. Just your fingers won't be enough."
Cyclops looked at Eustass and mocked him with a smile.
"Just watch."
Eustass chuckled.
"Begin!"
Eustass looked at Phoenix Jean Grey and shouted.
"OK!"
Jean Grey nodded, and the next instant, four frisbees flew out, followed by another four.
Cyclops put his hand on his glasses, constantly switching them on and off, continuously shooting laser beams to hit the frisbees.
Eustass pointed his hand towards the sky, entered Life Return state, his hands instantly became like shadows, transforming into dozens of afterimages, frantically using Finger Pistol towards the sky.
In the few years after Thanos was defeated by him for the second time, Eustass hadn't been idle.
He combined the Finger Pistol: Spot technique with the Flying Finger Pistol technique, developing a new move that could rapidly fire air bullets continuously.
He was very lazy with naming, so he just called it Flying Finger Pistol: Spot.
No choice, he was terrible at naming.
His physique was Zoro's physique, but the Bard's talent was a mental thing.
Just like no one could understand why Zoro got lost so frequently.
Others also couldn't learn Zoro's naming ability.
Eustass's hands transformed into dozens of afterimages, and dozens of sharp air bullets rapidly flew into the sky, directly shattering all the frisbees in the air.
However many Jean Grey threw out, he shattered. Even Cyclops couldn't keep up with the speed.
Cyclops's eyes couldn't autonomously control the emission of laser beams, so he needed special glasses to suppress his light.
So every time he fired, he would reach out and press his glasses, which caused a time delay.
But Eustass combined Finger Pistol: Spot and Flying Finger Pistol. The speed of Finger Pistol: Spot was too fast. Cyclops couldn't match Eustass's speed without taking off his glasses, but taking off his glasses would cause big trouble.
"There's no need to compete anymore."
Cyclops sighed and said.
"How about we spar? I see you're quite displeased with me, how about a fight?"
Eustass asked with a smile.
He might as well get a reward too.
"This... wouldn't be good. My laser beams are terrifying."
Cyclops hesitated.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Eustass chuckled, saying which, Armament Haki wrapped around his hand, and he directly bent a nearby iron railing.
Cyclops was stunned. What kind of ability did this guy have?
One moment threads turn into weapons, the next he has immense strength, and then he can fire air bullets barehanded... Is he cheating?!
"No way, are you scared?"
Eustass looked at Cyclops teasingly.
"Even so, no. I'll kill you."
Cyclops quickly shook his head. He was indeed a bit jealous, but Eustass hadn't succeeded in poaching, so he wasn't to the point of wanting to take a life.
"Come on, are you saying you can't? A man shouldn't say he can't."
Eustass chuckled.
Cyclops instantly became anxious.
Saying he couldn't in front of Jean Grey?
"Then let's have a close-quarters battle. I'm afraid of hurting you."
Cyclops agreed, but was still afraid of injuring someone, so he was unwilling to use his lasers.
Eustass laughed. If the opponent didn't use their strongest combat power, what kind of spar would that be? How could he get a reward then?
"I think you don't need to be so overly worried."
Eustass said, then his nano armor appeared on him, and then disappeared. "I have the ability to block, understand?"
Cyclops looked at him in surprise and nodded.
"This technology is amazing."
Rogue Mary caught up, saying with a smile.
Jean Grey also looked at Eustass curiously. This man was already very strong, and he also possessed such amazing technology. She was truly filled with curiosity about him... Not long after.
In an open space, there were no Mutant students in sight.
The X-Men often trained their close-quarters combat abilities here.
Eustass and Cyclops arrived here, while Rogue and Jean Grey watched from a distance.
"Surrender once that Armor on you can't hold up, I don't want to cause any casualties."
Cyclops quickly reminded him.
"Don't worry, the winner will be decided quickly."
Eustass chuckled, his whole body enveloped in Armament Haki, clenching his fists.
"Yes, it will be decided quickly."
Cyclops said confidently, thinking he would quickly defeat Eustass and save some face in front of Jean Grey.
"Start!"
Rogue shouted.
"Whoosh!"
Eustass immediately used Soru, stomping the ground dozens of times in an instant, moving at high speed as if teleporting, and instantly vanished from his original spot.
Cyclops's expression changed in surprise. Was this a Mutant ability for teleportation?
He kept looking around. Where was he? Where was he!?

As Scott was about to turn around, Eustass, who suddenly appeared behind him, knocked him down with a single blow.
"Normally, you'd be dead."
Eustass stood behind Scott, saying with a smile.
Scott looked at him in shock, unsure what to say.
This guy is too terrifying, isn't he?
"What kind of Mutant are you, exactly?"
Scott asked in shock.
"I'm not a Mutant."
Eustass waved his hand helplessly.
"Dude, I really don't want to say this, but I feel like you're as terrifying as a killing machine."
Scott said.
Eustass was silent for a moment; this analogy was too accurate.
Haki, Rokushiki, and Swordsmanship in the Pirate World, without exception, all served the purpose of slaying enemies.
"Scott, don't talk nonsense!"
Jean Grey quickly called out, thinking Scott was too rude, how could he describe someone like that?
"Sorry, he shouldn't have said that. No one describes people that way."
Jean Grey quickly apologized.
"It's nothing, actually, there's no harm in him describing me that way."
Eustass smiled and left.
Jean Grey glared at Scott even more angrily.
[host defeated Cyclops Scott!]
[Reward obtained: Recovery x2!]
"Really, so rude."
Rogue Mary angrily glared at Scott, then quickly followed Eustass out.
She reached out and shook Eustass's arm, comforting him.
Eustass chuckled; he thought the analogy was quite fitting.
He didn't think there was any problem... That night.
Eustass shared a room with Logan. Eustass leaned against the bed, reading a book under a bedside lamp.
On the opposite bed, Logan seemed to be having a nightmare, constantly tossing and turning.
The door creaked open, Rogue glanced inside, then looked at Eustass, quickly ran over, and sat beside him.
"What's wrong?"
Eustass closed his book, looking at her playfully.
"Can't sleep, came to chat with you."
Mary said with a smile.
"What should we chat about? The origin of life?"
Eustass held her hand, saying with a smile.
"Cough, cough, I, I don't understand what you're saying..."
Rogue said, lowering her head with a slight blush.
Eustass wove a flower on her hand with White Thread.
"So pretty."
Rogue said in surprise.
"How about we practice your energy absorption and my counter-absorption process again?"
Eustass looked at her with a smile.
"Ah? Okay, okay..."
Mary agreed to Eustass's suggestion, even though it felt a bit strange.
Eustass wasn't afraid of her energy-absorbing ability. After she discovered this, she decided to stay with Eustass permanently.
She even prepared herself mentally to be one of his girlfriends.
Eustass smiled and leaned in to kiss her.
Mary was startled at first.
Then she became quite joyful.
And cooperated.
Not long after.
Wolverine, who was still sound asleep on the opposite bed, struggled continuously, having a nightmare. His hands suddenly extended Adamantium claws, and in his sleep, his body involuntarily thrashed, his claws constantly destroying everything around him.
Rogue was startled. Eustass quickly got out of bed, rushed to Wolverine's side, wrapped his entire body in Armament Haki, and grabbed both of Wolverine's claws, pressing them back in.
"Hmph!"
Logan woke up with a start, glanced at Eustass, quickly retreated, and then, without even checking Eustass's condition, instinctively shouted:
"Someone, Doctor!"
"Stop shouting, I'm perfectly fine."
Eustass said helplessly.
Logan was stunned, somewhat disbelieving. He quickly grabbed Eustass's clothes and lifted them.
Rogue quickly put on her gloves, ran over, and slapped Logan's hand away.
What are you doing, what are you doing~
"S-sorry, I, I thought you were stabbed by me. My claws are very sharp, they can even cut steel. I thought you were like everyone else."
Logan quickly apologized. He knew what Rogue was thinking, but he was really just concerned if Eustass was hurt.
"It's fine, your claws can't hurt me."
Eustass had just finished speaking and was about to flick Wolverine's claws with his finger.
Storm Ororo and Phoenix Jean Grey walked in, quickly stepping forward to check Eustass's condition, lifting his clothes to check for wounds.
"Wasn't the injury higher up?"
Ororo asked in confusion.
Jean Grey quickly and instinctively went to check for wounds on his legs.
Jean Grey checked for a while, then shook her head.
"Isn't it very strong?"
Eustass chuckled.
"Are you really okay?"
Rogue Mary quickly asked.
"Not a scratch."
Eustass said with a smile, Armament Haki wrapped around his hand, and he repeatedly flicked Wolverine's claws with force, causing sparks to fly.
Wolverine watched, doubting his life.
Storm and Rogue were utterly shocked.
Jean Grey's pupils dilated, her mouth wide open in an 'O'.
Scott was green with envy, and quickly pulled Jean to her feet.
The height she was squatting at.
Too bad... "You'd better check, and Logan, you'd better explain clearly."
Jean quickly looked at the two and said.
"No need."
Eustass quickly waved his hand. In fact, he had already examined his body in his own Universe.
Since Eustass gained Zoro's physique, many aspects of his physical data had undergone immense changes, making him no longer the same as Earthlings.
He really couldn't be examined like that.
Soon after.
Eustass chatted with Professor X, who had followed, for a while, and then everyone dispersed.
Jean walked towards her bedroom. Actually, she still couldn't live with Scott at the moment.
The current Jean couldn't suppress Scott's Cyclopspowers at all.
Only when another dominant personality emerged, transforming into Dark Jean, could she easily suppress Scott's Cyclops powers.
Right now, if something were to happen and Scott's glasses fell off, it would be a catastrophic blow to the students of the academy.
Jean walked to her bedroom, and Scott walked to the room next door.
"Wait, Jean, there's something I want to tell you."
Scott quickly called out.
Jean looked at Scott in confusion.
"Speak."
Jean smiled at him.
"Stay away from that Eustass from now on; he has ill intentions."
Scott quickly said.
"What?"
Jean looked at Scott in confusion, "How can you speak ill of someone behind their back?"
"He's interested in you."
Scott quickly said.
"That's impossible, right?"
Jean asked, puzzled.
"Then are you interested in him?"
Scott said angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Jean yelled angrily. She didn't know why, but she did have a good impression of Eustass, but it wasn't the kind of feeling between a man and a woman.
Scott was being unreasonable!
Actually, Jean didn't know that it was her hidden second personality that was interested in Eustass.
"Then today, you today, damn it!"
The more Scott thought about it, the angrier he got, and the angrier he got, the more he thought, "You and he were a little too close, just now!"
After saying that, Scott slammed the door and went back to his room.
Jean was stunned, her face flushed.
Just now, she and Eustass were indeed ridiculously close.
Chapter 141: The Real and Fake Eustass! Rogue is Deceived! (Please Subscribe!)
In the corridor, Eustass, who was passing by with coffee, glanced at the pair and was speechless.
Scott is still too young.
How can you speak ill of an opponent in front of a woman?
Slandering can sometimes be useful, but for a woman like Jean, it will only backfire.
But that's right, even if Scott was confident before, today seeing Jean Grey so close to him and speaking up for him, Scott couldn't hold back anymore.
Eustass looked at Jean Grey, who also happened to notice him. She whispered an apology and turned back into the room.
Eustass released his Observation Haki, sensing Jean's condition.
It was a little different from when they met during the day.
Jean's body now subtly carried the aura of another personality.
It seems that X-Men 2 isn't far off.
And at this time, X-Men 1 is probably about halfway through.
Eustass glanced at Rogue's room in the distance. X-Men1 revolves around Rogue, and the plot moves quickly.
In short, Mystique Raven sows discord and tricks Rogueinto leaving the X-Men's protection. After Rogue leaves the school, Magneto captures her, attempting to use Rogue's ability to transform important figures at the summit into Mutants.
Then the X-Men stop him, and the Statue of Liberty is once again in trouble.
Eustass took a sip of coffee. Hmm, its bitterness invigorated him.
Several days later.
Afternoon.
Mary sat on a bench under the shade of trees, pouting unhappily.
Last night she saw Eustass sneaking out of Storm's room.
She had just mentally prepared herself to say she couldn't leave him.
But this morning, she found out that Scott and PhoenixJean Grey had broken up, and Eustass went out with Jean, she didn't know for what.
Mary was very conflicted.
On one hand, she felt that Eustass was not afraid of her abilities and could be someone who truly accompanied her, so she thought of forgiving him... on the other hand, she was worried about whether her future psychological endurance would be strong enough.
"Hey, didn't you go out?"
Mary was still conflicted when she saw Eustass walking out with a backpack.
"Oh, Mary, you're here. Let's go, I don't want to stay here."
Eustass said with a smile, his lips slightly curled as he looked at Rogue playfully.
"What's wrong? Weren't you having a good time with Jean?"
Mary looked at him suspiciously, a little sour.
"Jean?"
'Eustass' was stunned for a moment, then quickly said with a smile, "Don't mention it, we parted unhappily."
Mary's heart leaped with joy, and she happily ran over and grabbed his arm.
But then she thought, no, she couldn't be too nice to a playboy.
Wouldn't that just make him even more reckless?
"Hmph, you also went to Storm's room before. You go by yourself, and take Storm with you."
Mary said angrily.
"Storm?"
'Eustass' was stunned again, his mouth twitching. Why was this Eustass so troublesome!
She had transformed into him, but no one told her that Eustass was a playboy.
She had been planning to transform into Eustass to trick Rogue out of here.
Careless!
The Brotherhood's intelligence had serious problems.
"Well, I was just playing around with her, you know, Rogue. Let's go, I can still tell who's on my side."
'Eustass' finished speaking and grabbed Rogue's sleeve.
"Okay!"
Rogue happily grabbed his hand. 'Eustass' quickly put his hand in his pocket in fright, and Rogue didn't think much of it.
An hour later.
Eustass drove back to the Mutant Academy with Jean. For this World, Eustass was an undocumented person, so he had just registered for a temporary ID with Jean's help.
Professor X's influence in this World was still significant; helping him with an ID was not a big problem.
As soon as they arrived at the school, Eustass swept with his Observation Haki, and his expression changed.
Where was Rogue's aura!?
"Jean, quickly, come with me to find the Professor!"
Eustass said, then quickly got out of the car.
Jean quickly followed, asking in confusion:
"What exactly happened?"
"Rogue left the school, most likely tricked away by someone with ulterior motives!"
Eustass said, "I can't sense her aura in the school anymore!"
Jean looked at Eustass's back in shock. No way, he can still sense auras around him!?
Is he a human radar?
Seriously?
Jean suddenly felt that Scott's words might not be entirely unreasonable.
Eustass found Professor X, then told him what happened, and immediately ran outside.
"Wait, wait until the Professor finds her first!"
Cyclops quickly shouted.
"I've already found her!"
Eustass shouted. While informing Professor X just now, his Observation Haki had spread out, and he had successfully sensed Rogue's aura.
At a Train Station a few miles to the west.
"I'll go with you!"
Wolverine quickly said, running along.
He came with Eustass, and he wanted to help him.
"Don't come!"
Eustass quickly shouted, "You'll be restrained by Professor X's old buddy!"
Professor X awkwardly looked away.
Wolverine was speechless.
"It's Magneto, his ability can control metal."
Scott quickly said.
"Also, Professor X, you'd better not come either, you'll affect me."
Eustass finished speaking, his nano armor covered his entire body, and he flew straight into the sky.
Wolverine and the others looked up in shock as he flew away. Professor X silently watched him leave, understanding his meaning.
Professor X always inspects other people's memories without permission, even if he says he won't look, he actually keeps looking... Eustass wants to deal with Magneto, so the nano armor definitely can't be used.
Its core is made of nano-level metal materials, so it's still in the metal category and will be restrained by Magneto.
Eustass only uses the nano armor for travel, and will separate from it once he reaches his destination.
But without the Armor helmet protecting his brain, who knows if Professor X would suddenly decide to look at his memories.
Eustass hated people like that the most. Although he respected heroes like Professor X, if the other party really tried to look at his memories, he wouldn't mind instantly appearing behind Professor X and twisting his head off.
Soon after.
Train Station.
Eustass set up his nano armor and had it temporarily leave the area.
Eustass threw away all the metal items on him, quickly walked into the Train Station, bought a ticket, entered the train, and saw Rogue and another him sitting in a certain seat.
Eustass quickly walked over, pushed Rogue further into the seat, and grabbed the imposter's hand, tightly locking their arm.
"Wh-what exactly is going on?"
Rogue looked at this scene in shock.
"Of course, there can't be two of me. The other one is just an imposter."
Eustass said, then directly struck the panicked Mystiquewith a palm.
Conqueror's Haki swept over, and Mystique instantly fainted, her body returning to its original form.
A woman with blue skin and Red Hair revealed her true form.
Rogue was startled.
Chapter 142. Mystique Revealed! Beating Up Magneto! (Please Subscribe!)
Mary quickly reached out and pushed the strange woman away, sending her sprawling onto the hallway floor.
"S-She must be crazy, why isn't she wearing anything..."
Mary exclaimed in shock.
Eustass was speechless.
Is that the main point?
As for whether Mystique wears clothes or not...
He felt that the movie's depiction of Mystique was too messed up.
In the comics, the woman Mystique still wore some clothing.
"That's not the point. Move away quickly later; I need to deal with an enemy for you."
Eustass quickly waved his hand.
What was there to look at regarding Mystique?
For him, fighting and getting stronger were always the most appealing things.
"Let's leave the Mutant Academy."
Rogue Mary quickly said.
"Hmm?"
Eustass looked at her in confusion.
"I'm serious."
Rogue quickly said.
"We'll talk later."
After speaking, Eustass stood up, wrapped Armament Haki around his fist, and quickly strode forward.
His Observation Haki sensed the presence of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
Magneto is here.
Chavez ran into the hallway and quickly pulled Rogue's sleeve, running outside.
The train suddenly started operating, slowly moving.
Chavez's expression changed, "Crap, we got off too late."
They quickly looked ahead. As Eustass continued forward, the train stopped operating in front of a powerful magnetic force. The lights flickered, alternating between bright and dark.
In the next instant, the front of the train was ripped apart. Magneto, wearing a robe and a Psychic-Proof Helmet, slowly floated in.
He glanced at Eustass:
"Oh, I've heard of you. A Mutant with multiple abilities. The Brotherhood of Mutants would welcome someone like you to change our destiny."
Magneto looked at Eustass, feeling that the latter was a perfect fighting machine.
It wasn't hard to inquire about the Mutant Academy's information.
"I'm not a Mutant, you stinky old man."
Eustass cursed directly.
"Most people act like this at first. You'll understand later."
After Magneto finished speaking, he raised his hand and aimed it at Eustass, but there was no reaction. He was stunned for a moment.
Eustass had no metal on him?
"Old man, your era is over."
Eustass laughed mockingly. Magneto's expression chilled, and the train frame twisted, wrapping around Eustass.
Eustass sneered. His whole body wrapped in Armament Haki, his feet stomped the ground dozens of times in an instant, executing Soru for high-speed movement like teleportation, and he instantly rushed in front of Magneto.
Magneto quickly summoned a large amount of metal in front of himself.
Eustass punched out, directly smashing through the metal plate and hitting Magneto in the face.
Magneto's body continuously flew backward. Eustass's muscles swelled, and he instantly surged out, leaving a vortex of air swirling where he stood.
Magneto's face was hammered out of shape. If Eustasshadn't intentionally spared his life, Magneto really would have almost died.
Magneto's body was flying in the air. His expression changed, and he quickly waved his hand. The steel structures from a nearby building instantly flew out, rushing toward Eustass.
Eustass used Moonwalk for a rapid aerial dash. With continuous speed bonuses, Eustass's Moonwalk was ridiculously fast now.
Other people's Moonwalk was at most an aerial stroll, but he had practically become an aerial fighter jet.
Eustass instantly rushed over, smashing all the steel bars with punch after punch. He instantly arrived in front of Magneto, grabbed Magneto's collar with one hand, and continuously slapped him with the other.
Magneto's teeth flew out. He quickly ripped his collar and flew backward to escape.
As a result, Eustass instantly appeared behind Magnetoand slapped him.
Magneto spat out a tooth and flew away.
The elderly Magneto wasn't as strong as the Apocalypse-enhanced version. Since Eustass wasn't constrained by Magneto, he practically turned into a War God, giving Magneto a brutal beating.
Magneto controlled magnetism to strike Eustass with metal, but it was all shattered by Eustass's Armament Haki.
Magneto's face was distorted from the beating, bruised and swollen, and half his teeth were broken. He looked furiously at Eustass.
Youngsters are unscrupulous!
He quickly controlled the Syringe tucked into his waistband, aiming to stab Eustass with it.
This Syringe was originally prepared for Rogue, but now it was used on Eustass.
The Syringe rapidly flew toward Eustass.
"Clang~"
The Syringe hit Eustass, and the Syringe broke.
Magneto was startled.
"What level of Mutant are you?"
Magneto quickly asked.
"I am not a Mutant!"
Eustass said angrily, immediately giving Magneto a slap.
Magneto's body spun continuously in the air, rapidly flying into the distance, shattering the glass door, and crashing into the train Waiting Hall.
[The host has defeated Magneto Erik!]
[Reward obtained: Lifespan +15!]
Eustass was a bit disappointed that it wasn't Portalcharge point.
But being able to live for another decade or so wasn't a loss.
After all, with formidable strength, no one wants to be kicked off the ship of the new era too early... With the extension of his lifespan, Eustass's peak period will also be prolonged according to the life cycle extension.
The Mutant Toad quickly held Magneto and ran outside.
Their boss was beaten and had no power to fight back.
He didn't think they had any way to deal with that guy.
As soon as they got out, they were targeted by a large number of Armed Personnel with guns.
Rogue and Chavez, along with Jean, Scott, and Ororo, who had come to the station looking for Rogue, also walked out of the Waiting Hall and were targeted by the Armed Personnel.
"Hands up, stay where you are! Put your hands on your head, quickly!"
Someone shouted into a loudspeaker.
Magneto had been beaten almost unconscious by Eustass; severely injured, he had little ability left to help.
Jean watched all this with a serious expression, ready to act at any moment.
Scott stood there constrained, unsure whether or not to make a move.
Storm was ready to act at any moment.
"Facing an existence beyond control, those without power will feel envy, jealousy, and hatred, while those with power will try to seize that strength. If they can't control it, they destroy it."
Eustass walked out and said, glancing at Magneto.
Magneto's mouth twitched. Since they agreed, why did the guy beat him up? "No other meaning, I just think you guys aren't strong enough, and you're a bit too soft-hearted."
Eustass mocked, and Magneto was speechless.
What he said made so much sense that Magneto had no words to refute it.
Eustass looked at the Armed Personnel, reached into his pocket, pulled out a ring, and put it on his hand. The Space Stone was on it.
Eustass did very well in his Universe, possessing the strongest power, the most formidable Financial Grouppower, and the Vibranium Mountains in the sky to deter all of humanity.
Under the heavy hand of multiple strikes, no one in that World dared to refute him.
"Now, put away your weapons and leave immediately. I will forgive you, otherwise, you bear the consequences."
Eustass said coldly.
"Shoot!"
An Officer below shouted, pointing at Eustass.
Eustass sneered. An azure blue Portal instantly appeared in the middle of the person's body and immediately closed.
That Officer was left with only half a body; the other half had been teleported away.
With a thud, the person fell to the ground.
"Leave immediately. Ten, nine, eight... three, two..."
Before Eustass could finish counting down, the Armed Personnel raised their guns and fired.
A Thread Wall instantly shot up, blocking all the bullets.
Eustass snapped his fingers.
A gigantic Portal appeared beneath the feet of the Armed Personnel, and everyone, along with their vehicles, fell in.
A massive Portal appeared ten thousand meters above the ground.
Chapter 143: The Third Mutant Force! Phoenix Takes a Stand! (Please subscribe!)
High in the sky, the cold air currents had already frozen the people who suddenly fell from the Portal.
They kept falling, and cars also plummeted with them.
Soon after.
New York.
The troops were rapidly on their way. When they arrived, a large number of armed personnel, frozen by the high-altitude cold air currents, fell to the ground.
Cars, their surfaces covered in frost, also fell, crashing onto the ground.
People looked up at the sky in shock.
Then they looked at Eustass in disbelief.
"Get out of the way."
Eustass said coldly, "Otherwise, I'll make the entire New York State fall from ten thousand meters in the sky. Idiots who haven't graduated high school can go back and ask their parents how terrifying it would be for a state to fall from ten thousand meters in the sky."
In the distance, an Officer leading the troops was so scared that he quickly retreated. No matter how much the foolish Officer in his earpiece yelled, he dared not fire a single shot.
Those high-ranking officials behind the scenes in reality truly disregard any crisis for profit and act recklessly.
But the people executing orders below dared not.
"Good, this way you'll live longer."
After Eustass finished speaking, he waved his hand. Above, the nano armor quickly flew down, transforming into a nano core, and landed in his hand.
Those high-ranking officials behind the scenes, who saw this scene through tactical cameras, gasped. Who exactly is this guy?
Where did he get such technology?
They understood that the opponent's technological level far surpassed theirs.
"Goodbye, everyone."
Eustass looked at the tactical cameras on the soldiers' helmets and sneered at the people behind the scenes.
Seeing through the phenomenon to the essence, Eustassfelt that for the Mutant problem, simply asking Mutants and ordinary humans to reconcile was truly useless.
Unless there were people on their side who controlled the chaebols.
From the plot of "X-Men: Days of Future Past," it can be known that the Sentinel program was already established in this World as early as 1973.
And Eustass could still encounter the plot of the first X-Men movie, which proves this is the old timeline.
The person who initiated the Sentinel program was Bolivar Trask, the owner of Trask Industries.
Bolivar Trask was a chaebol!
His attitude determined the will of the entire Americachaebol circle.
And Bolivar Trask's death also made America's chaebols fear for themselves, viewing Mutants as enemies.
Whether it was the Mutant World of the new timeline or the Mutant World of the old timeline, Eustass felt that these idiotic Mutants simply did not grasp the essence of the matter.
They constantly talked about change, but they never changed from power itself, instead constantly engaging in infighting.
As a result, all Mutants headed towards doomsday.
Of course, humans in the old timeline weren't much better. People in this World actually had more or less a tendency to mutate within their bodies.
Mutants were originally the product of accelerated human evolution. If Mutants were finished, did they really think the Sentinels would spare other humans whose genes were slowly evolving?
Eustass looked at the people present, chuckled, and snapped his fingers. He and the Mutants behind him instantly disappeared.
The real way to change things is simple: give those ambitious people behind the scenes a 'peanut' to 'cure' their madness.
Then let a powerful person with a normal brain unify the World.
Anyone who disobeys will be directly eliminated.
Professor X is too indecisive.
Magneto is too extreme.
The best choice is a combination of their personalities.
A New Ruler who is ruthless but cares for all humanity.
Mutant Academy.
Eustass brought everyone back here, putting on his nano helmet to guard against Professor X.
"Are you going to war?" x2
The weakened Magneto looked at Eustass with joy.
Even though Eustass had beaten him, when he saw Eustass's ruthless methods, his terrifying strength, and advanced technology, he saw a glimmer of hope.
Professor Charles Xavier's wheelchair quickly came before everyone, his face complex as he looked at Eustass.
He hadn't directly read Eustass's mind just now, but he had seen Eustass's actions by controlling others.
He didn't want Eustass to instigate conflict between Mutants and ordinary humans.
"No."
Eustass shook his head.
Magneto was disappointed, Professor X breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are all wrong, Professor X and Magneto, you are both wrong."
Eustass looked at the two of them, "I really doubt, Professor Xavier, are you really an academic? Don't you understand that humans themselves are evolving? Whether Mutants or 'ordinary humans,' essentially, they are still one species."
"I know."
Professor X quickly said.
"Then why didn't you tell Magneto?"
Eustass questioned, and Professor X was speechless.
That's right, why didn't he tell Magneto? Perhaps telling him about the Mutant divergence would have brought a turning point?
In that instant, he even wondered what his mind had been doing all these years. Idling? Crashed?
"No matter how many Mutants there are, relative to the billions of humans, they are still far too few. Relying on the number of Mutants to reproduce simply cannot keep up with population deaths, and civilization development will be very slow.
Secondly, if billions of people are exterminated, the industrial foundation of human civilization will inevitably collapse, and you will be sent back to the Stone Age.
Of course, none of this will happen. Once humans and Mutants start a full-scale war, I think you should understand that in a life-or-death situation, ultimate weapons will be launched globally.
Mutants? Even aliens will be radiated to death."
Eustass scoffed.
"Then why can you do such things? Aren't you afraid?"
Magneto asked weakly.
"I am not an Earthling from your side."
Eustass said, and Magneto felt depressed.
He finally understood what it meant to be reckless.
Professor X fell silent. He finally understood why Eustasshad never hidden his identity.
If things went wrong here, he could just have Chavez take them and run.
Chavez still couldn't control the Universe Portal, so random teleportation?
But maybe the next one would be better?
"But I think it's best for everyone to do something. Cooperate and seize the opportunity to negotiate with the America Government through hard power. I'm not a devil; I have no interest in destroying civilization. If you need to fight, you can find me."
Eustass said, then turned and left.
He didn't plan to stay here. Professor X would definitely not allow such an extreme person to stay in the Academy.
Rogue quickly followed.
Wolverine also quickly followed Eustass, feeling that the indecisive Professor X was a bit unreliable... Storm gave the Professor an apologetic look, then turned and followed.
The others looked at Storm in confusion. Why was she following Eustass?
They couldn't understand it at all.
Chapter 144: X-Men 2 Plot Begins! Magneto and Professor X Join Forces! (Please subscribe!)
Professor X sighed, looking at Jean:
"You can't go, Jean, he's too extreme."
"I..."
Jean glanced at Eustass, then at the Professor. An aura influenced her, and Jean instinctively followed Eustass.
Professor X's expression changed in surprise. Just as he was about to forcefully keep Jean Grey, old Magnetopressed his hand down.
"You can't keep them."
After Magneto finished speaking, he was actually a little tempted himself.
Eustass was too strong. If Eustass could change the situation of Mutants through forceful means, he would be willing to humble himself and join him.
Professor X watched reluctantly as Eustass led many people away. He wanted to control Eustass and Jean.
Both of them were too strong, and Eustass was too extreme. Jean's other personality was already at risk of emerging.
He had a bad premonition and wanted to stop it.
Actually, Professor X also had a problem. Since Jean was a child, he saw her powerful strength and feared it from the bottom of his heart. From that moment on, Professor X had already begun to find ways to suppress Jean's power.
This resulted in Jean developing a dual personality.
Professor X was great, but his desire for control was also very annoying.
Understanding Professor X's youthful arrogance reveals much about the man.
He was not that perfect.
Scott watched Jean leave with Eustass, his heart aching.
He had only broken up with Jean a few days ago to make her angry, hoping she would think things through.
He never expected to push her away instead.
Outside the Mutant Academy.
Eustass looked at the people who followed him. He found that Mystique had also followed, directly leaving Magneto.
When Eustass snapped his fingers and teleported earlier, he also brought the unconscious Mystique with him.
Mystique was not at fault; she was someone who constantly worked for the future of Mutants, solely based on her stance.
Eustass also had no reason to leave Mystique to suffer in the U.S. government's hands.
"Are you betraying Magneto?"
Eustass looked at Mystique.
"I only see the stance, and if we Mutants follow and pledge allegiance to you, are you willing to help us win the war?"
Mystique asked hastily.
"You can't represent all Mutants, and I'm not a Mutant. Let someone qualified talk to me."
Eustass said.
Eustass wouldn't stay in the Mutant Universe for too long.
If the representatives of the Mutants asked him to cooperate, Eustass might be able to fight and get rewards, and at the same time, do something here.
For example, changing the future of Mutants.
Rogue, Storm, and Phoenix are all Mutants. If Eustassdoesn't take them away in the future, he'll have to consider their future.
"I'll go persuade them!"
Mystique said, then turned and went directly to find Professor X and Magneto.
Eustass smiled. It wouldn't be easy for those two stubborn old donkeys to cooperate.
Snapping his fingers, Eustass, along with Wolverine, Rogue, Phoenix, and Storm, instantly disappeared, leaving the area.
Inside the building.
In the student dormitory.
The Mutant students all watched Eustass disappear outside.
They had actually seen and overheard some of the disagreements between Eustass, Professor X, and Magneto, and about Rogue and the others taking sides.
Many Mutant students clenched their fists, suddenly feeling that they had a new choice.
A leader with a firm attitude, supreme combat power, and a clear mind doesn't necessarily have to be chosen between Professor X and Magneto!
U.S.
Los Angeles.
In the wilderness.
Eustass appeared here with Rogue and the others.
Eustass looked at them. Actually, his method of taking these people was super simple; there was no need to talk about feelings.
Most Mutants in the Mutant World only look at their stance.
They will fight alongside whoever's stance can save the future of their race.
At the end of X-Men: First Class, after the young Professor X and young Magneto had a disagreement, Mystique directly left Professor X and sided with Magneto.
Eustass gives them hope, and Storm, Phoenix, and Roguewill know who to follow.
"Logan, I suggest you go to Lake Alkali in the Rocky Mountains of Canada. You might find what you've lost there."
Eustass suggested to Wolverine.
Wolverine had lost a precious memory.
But he felt it was better to let him slowly find his memories himself.
"Okay, thank you for the reminder."
Logan said gratefully, "By the way, I have a question."
"Ask away."
Eustass nodded.
"Can you also read other people's memories like the Professor?"
Logan asked, and everyone looked at Eustass.
Eustass was too powerful; everyone had seen him use many abilities by now.
Thus, they couldn't help but suspect if Eustass had other abilities.
"No, my perception is at most like a radar; it can't detect people's thoughts."
Eustass chuckled.
"Are you sure?"
Logan asked doubtfully.
"At most, I can know your moods."
Eustass said.
Observation Haki can perceive people's emotions; Kobyperceived others' pain during the Marineford War.
"Just moods?"
Logan confirmed again.
"You're asking too many questions."
Eustass laughed.
"Damn it, is there any privacy left in this World?"
Logan complained helplessly, then turned and left.
"Wait."
Eustass said, then snapped his fingers.
New York.
Chester, Mutant Academy.
Garage.
Scott was just about to use his motorcycle to go out and find Jean to win her back.
Suddenly, a Portal appeared on the ground, swallowed his motorcycle, and then closed instantly.
Scott: "???"
"Eustass, you bastard, don't go too far—!"
Scott's angry roar in the Academy broke the silence of the night.
Not only is he stealing people, but he's also stealing his motorcycle?
Bullying an honest person!
...Los Angeles.
Wilderness.
A motorcycle appeared in front of Logan.
"Scott's motorcycle is fast; you can use this."
Eustass smiled.
"Why don't you just teleport him there directly?"
Jean asked doubtfully. Although she had broken up with Scott, Eustass bullying Scott like this was a bit too much; she couldn't stand it.
"I haven't been to Lake Alkali in this World, so I don't have specific coordinates to teleport."
Eustass said, "At best, Logan would be teleported into the ground and buried; at worst, he'd be thrown into an unknown space."
"This is it then. I actually like motorcycles."
Logan quickly got on the motorcycle, started it, and sped away.
Wolverine had never feared anyone in all these years, but Eustass truly scared him.
Being teleported to an unknown space was far more terrifying than death.
Months later.
Los Angeles.
A certain seaside Villa.
Early morning.
Eustass walked out of Jean's room, sat in front of the French window, poured himself a glass of wine, and slowly sipped it while watching the sea in the early morning.
This azure sea is truly beautiful.
His phone rang, and Eustass answered the call.
"It's Mystique."
"I can tell. Did those two donkeys decide to cooperate?"
"Cough, cough..."
Mystique couldn't help but laugh after hearing that.
However,'stubborn donkeys' was indeed a fitting description for Professor X and Magneto.
"Yes, but I think there's a bigger problem waiting for us. What you want is for Mutants and humans who are friendly to Mutants to win this war together.
But a Mutant is attempting to assassinate the U.S. President, pushing all humans into opposition with Mutants."
Eustass listened to Mystique, thought for a moment, "Then expose him, make it public, and use it to our advantage..."
The mastermind behind this incident is William Stryker.
And William Stryker, in 1973, was a lackey of Bolivar Trask of Trask Industries.
As long as Stryker's background is exposed, Eustassbelieves many ordinary humans will stand against those represented by Stryker.
He was also quite impressed by the ordinary people of this World.
When the chaebols incited attacks on Mutants, many ordinary people blindly followed their brainwashing as if they had lost their minds. Even if their own children became Mutants, they would report them without hesitation.
However, this was also the result of people being manipulated and deceived by the government's information asymmetry.
He believed that once the truth was revealed to the public, there would still be some clear-headed people who would take the correct side.
Eustass's attitude was indeed a bit extreme.
But he genuinely wanted to completely change the history of the Mutant Universe before he left, to give Phoenix, Rogue, and the others a beautiful World and future.
Chapter 145. 145. Kidnapping Professor X! William's Mutant Elimination Plan! (Seeking subscription!)
Several days later.
Mutant Academy.
Eustass arrived with Phoenix, Rogue, and Storm, heading straight to the Principal's Office, but Professor X was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there was a young man with black and blue skin whom Eustass didn't recognize.
Eustass glanced at Mystique standing next to Magnetoand teased:
"Mystique, this isn't the son you accidentally had outside over the past few decades, is it? What's his name? Blue Devil or Teleport Man?"
After Eustass finished speaking, Kurt Wagner awkwardly stepped back.
"Your mouth is as merciless as ever."
Magneto said helplessly.
"Tell me, where is Professor X?"
Eustass said, patting Kurt on the shoulder, "Don't take it to heart. I have a poisonous tongue. Actually, I have a sharp tongue and a sharp heart. To be honest, your teleportation is truly impressive."
Kurt nodded, then suddenly froze. What was'sharp tongue and sharp heart'? Wasn't it'sharp tongue and soft heart'?
"He was kidnapped."
Cyclops said angrily. He was already furious that someone had kidnapped Professor X.
But now, seeing Jean standing next to Eustass, he became even angrier.
He regretted that he should have been more rational when he broke up with Jean.
But shortly after he broke up with Jean, Eustass used his Magnetic Field to sweep Jean away.
If Cyclops hadn't been in the way, Eustass would have long since spirited Jean away to his room.
Eustass glanced at Cyclops. The young man had become a major patsy.
"It was William Stryker. He had someone use a gas to knock Charles out. Charles didn't detect it."
Magneto said.
"I see. It looks like this William Stryker wants to use Professor X to do something terrible, like exterminating Mutants or something."
Eustass said, "Let's go."
"Where do we look for him?"
Wolverine Logan, who had just returned and walked in, quickly asked.
"Oakley Lake in the Rocky Mountains of Canada."
Eustass said.
"I went there, but found nothing."
Logan quickly shook his head.
"Logan, didn't you consider underground? Digging an underground Base is Basic Operation, alright."
Eustass waved his hand and said, leaving Loganspeechless.
"OK, let's move out!"
After Eustass finished speaking, he took Phoenix and the other two and walked out.
Aboard the Mutant Academy X-Jet.
"By the way, why didn't you bring your nano armor? Did you only wear a hat to guard against Charles?"
Magneto sat down next to him and asked curiously.
"Do I need that thing to fight? Don't joke with me."
Eustass waved his hand and chuckled.
His nano armor was left with the organization he had established in Los Angeles during this period. He hadn't done anything else, focusing solely on building the organization and recruiting people.
Eustass recruited many decent scientists from around the World to help him research the nano armor. He also shared some principles of the nano armor and methods for overcoming technical difficulties with them.
Eustass couldn't build the nano armor himself, nor did he possess such impressive technical knowledge.
All he could do was offer suggestions to the scientists and have them replicate it based on an existing finished product.
If Eustass wanted to overturn all disobedient human forces in such a short time, there was only one way: unleash Black Technology and form a Nano Legion in this World.
"Um, there's something I want to ask. Why aren't you afraid?"
Jon, Pyro, quickly asked from across the way.
"What is there to be afraid of?"
Eustass smiled at him. All he needed to do was crush his opponent. There was no need to be afraid, and fear was useless anyway.
"William captured the Professor. He definitely wants to use the Professor's ability to kill all the Mutants in the World."
Jon said anxiously.
"Then why not just kill William beforehand?"
Eustass said, completely unconcerned about William Stryker.
"But what if he moves faster?"
Jon still felt somewhat anxious and scared.
"No, I am faster."
Eustass's voice appeared beside Jon. Jon was startled and quickly looked next to him, where Eustass was standing.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
After Eustass finished speaking, he patted Jon's shoulder.
Soon after.
Oakley Lake.
The X-Jet landed in the snow. Eustass, wearing a nano helmet, scanned William's Base ahead.
Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, a 3D structural map of the Base appeared before everyone.
"This is the structure of the Dam. This part is the Spillway. See the density change in this section? Those are tire tracks."
Storm Ororo pointed at the 3D map and said.
"This is the entrance?"
Logan asked.
"That's right."
Ororo nodded.
"If we go in, Stryker will release the water to flood us."
Jean, sitting nearby, quickly said.
"Can we use Teleportation Technique to get inside?"
Jean looked at Nightcrawler Kurt and asked.
"No, I need to see the situation inside first, otherwise I might get stuck in a wall."
Nightcrawler Kurt quickly shook his head.
Eustass was rubbing her hand, making Cyclops, who was standing nearby, burn with anger.
"Wolverine can go in without that risk."
Eustass finished speaking and pointed at the Dog TagLogan was wearing around his neck.
"Yes, if I go, he won't kill me."
Wolverine nodded, looking at the Dog Tag he was wearing.
"That won't work. Someone who can control the Spillway System needs to go in. Are we sending him in to scratch things with his claws?"
Magneto quickly shook his head in rejection.
"Wolverine going is indeed possible, but I never said he had to go in person."
Eustass smiled.
Everyone was surprised and looked towards Mystique.
Eustass smiled while looking at Mystique.
Actually, he originally wanted to go, but his height wasn't right... "Mystique, your primary objective is to seize control of the Base Control Room. Leave everything else to us."
Eustass said.
"Understood!"
Mystique nodded, quickly transformed into Wolverine's appearance, even mimicking his height, walked off the plane, and headed toward the Base.
Soon after.
Mystique, in the form of Wolverine, walked into the Spillway and was led inside by soldiers.
William watched this 'Wolverine' for a moment, then quickly waved his hand, "An imposter of my work! I can tell instantly. Lock this place down and kill him!"
The next moment, Mystique broke free from her restraints and began attacking William's subordinates.
She fled all the way, transformed into William's likeness, rushed into the Control Room, killed the personnel inside, and immediately closed the door.
"I have secured the Control Room!"
Mystique quickly said via the Walkie-Talkie Headset.
"Received. Ensure your safety, and leave the rest to me!"
Eustass's voice came through the headset.
William Stryker looked at the heavy Blast Door that had been shut and immediately ordered men to bring Explosives to blow it open.
Before the Explosives could be set, a tremendous roar echoed through the Base.
"What in the World is going on?"
William asked in shock.
The Spillway.
Eustass threw a punch, shattering the Sluice Gatedirectly. The gate flew out, crushing some soldiers.
Chapter 146. 146. Cutting Adamantium! (Requesting Subscription!)
"Go!"
Eustass knocked the gate flying and walked inside with Magneto and the others.
As soon as they entered, the Taxi Soldiers inside the Baseimmediately fired a volley.
Magneto reached forward, and all the bullets stopped mid-air, then flew back into the distance, piercing the soldiers' bodies.
At this very moment.
Inside the Base.
In a room imitating Professor X's Cerebro chamber.
Jason Stryker sat in a wheelchair, using his ability to control Professor X with Illusions.
William Stryker rushed over in panic after hearing the Base gate was opened, giving orders to his son to make Professor X kill all Mutants.
And Jason Stryker was responsible for using the Illusions to achieve William Stryker's goal.
On the other side.
In the Control Room.
Eustass smashed the Blast Door with a single punch, and Mystique looked at him in surprise.
This guy's overwhelming strength constantly broke their understanding.
"Move out."
After saying this, Eustass immediately rushed toward the Cerebro chamber with Phoenix and the others.
"Wait, you need to look at the structural map to find the Cerebro chamber!"
Mystique quickly shouted.
"No need, I can sense Professor X's location."
Eustass waved his hand, raised a finger forward, used Finger Pistol, and several Air Bullets shot out, immediately knocking down the Taxi Soldiers who were shooting at him.
Soon after.
Outside the Cerebro chamber door.
Eustass encountered a group of soldiers. He instantly used Soru, appearing beside them, and a large amount of Armament Haki-wrapped Thread burst from his hand, piercing their bodies directly.
"Thump! Thump!"
The soldiers fell one after another.
"Jason, hold him off!"
William, who was inside the Cerebro chamber giving orders to Jason, quickly shouted at his son, pointing at Eustass.
Jason looked towards Eustass, only to find that no one was standing where Eustass had been.
"Snap!"
Eustass used Soru to arrive behind Jason and violently twisted his neck.
Jason Stryker immediately lost his life.

"Y-you damned Mutant, what do you want? Stay away from me!"
William was terrified and quickly ran outside.
Jean waved her hand lightly, and William's body floated up, unable to move.
"Are you sure I'm a Mutant? I'll give you one chance. Answer incorrectly and you die."
Eustass smiled while looking at William.
"Mutant, go to hell!"
William roared.
"You answered incorrectly. I am not a Mutant."
Eustass laughed.
Saying this, Eustass reached out and tightly gripped William's neck.
"You're just a person who envies and is jealous of the talents of others. Don't claim your actions are for the good of humanity."
After Eustass finished speaking, he gripped William's neck and slowly applied pressure.
William struggled ceaselessly, breathing heavily, his body gradually approaching death as his vision blurred.
Before long, Eustass loosened his grip slightly. Just as William managed to take a breath, Eustass tightened his grip again.
"It would be a pity to let you die instantly, so I choose to let you die by suffocation."
After Eustass spoke, he gradually increased the force.
William's body continued to struggle painfully, finally twitching weakly.
Until he suffocated to death.
Eustass tossed William onto the ground and, for good measure, finished him off by firing more than ten Finger Pistol Air Bullets into his body.
Cyclops ran over and quickly wheeled the unconscious Professor X away.
"Boom—!"
Suddenly, an explosion sounded from the Base.
Eustass's expression changed in surprise. William had set a Time Bomb, causing an explosion inside the Base.
Before long, the cracks in the Base's walls would be burst open by the water pressure from the Reservoir, flooding the entire Base.
"Run, this Base is finished!"
After Eustass spoke, he ran outside with Phoenix, Rogue, and Storm.
Cyclops quickly wheeled Professor X to follow.
Eustass contacted Magneto and the others via the Communication Device, urging them to evacuate immediately.
Passing a room, Eustass saw Logan fighting a Neon Mutant who had Adamantium claws. Eustass condensed a Thread Blade in his hand, wrapped it in Haoshoku, and slashed once.
This Mutant, modified by Stryker, was instantly decapitated by the single slash.
"Hurry up and leave, this place is going to be flooded!"
Eustass shouted at Wolverine.
[The host defeated Deathstrike!]
[Reward obtained: Armament Haki Strength x2!]
Eustass was stunned. Seriously, is the system looking down on Minor Characters?
It didn't even give a proper name.
But he couldn't worry about that now; he quickly rushed outside with Phoenix and the others.
Wolverine followed behind, looking completely bewildered. Eustass actually cut through that woman's bones!?
Like him, her internal skeleton was also infused with Adamantium. It was too outrageous that Eustass killed that female Mutant so easily.
Eustass didn't pay it much mind. He wasn't even sure how strong he was now.
The system's constantly doubling Combat Strength was simply absurd.
Soon after.
On the snowy ground.
Everyone gathered here and returned to the fighter jet.
The anxious result was that the fighter jet had malfunctioned.
Just then, the crack in the Reservoir was breached by the great Water, which rushed in quickly.
Phoenix was about to get off the plane to help when Eustass held her down.
"Don't be so anxious. I've got this."
After Eustass spoke, he lightly snapped his fingers.
A giant azure Portal appeared in the Reservoir, sucking in all the surging Water.
"That's good, thank goodness."
Jean sighed in relief and hugged him.
"Where did you send all that Water?"
Storm asked curiously.
"I sent them where they belong."
Eustass laughed... Neon.
Tokyo.
On the rooftop of a certain building.
A Portal suddenly appeared.
Endless Floodwaters surged out and rushed downwards... Canada.
Lake Alkali.
Eustass smiled, watching the X-Men repair the fighter jet.
The Floodwaters rushed in?
Rush, continue, increase the flow, don't stop~
Eustass would never allow Jean to sacrifice herself for everyone's sake, as she did in the Original Plot.
In fact, whether it was the current Jean or the other, darkened Jean, they were both her.
It was only because Professor X was too controlling and had established mental defenses for Jean since childhood that, due to various factors, a Second Personality was created.
The more repressed Professor X made Jean feel, the angrier the Second Personality became.
Eustass's approach was simple: let Jean take her time. He would slowly help guide her, neither repressing her nor letting her do overly extreme things.
It would naturally be great if he could help Jean resolve the hidden personality issue. If that truly failed, he would use the Cure created from the child in X-Men 3 who could suppress the Mutant gene, allowing Jean to become an ordinary person.
