Hearing that there was a variable at the scene, a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in the hearts of people around the World. Even those who usually strongly opposed the X-Squad hoped that they could bring some turning point.
"There's a broadcast signal from the X-Squad. Connecting now."
No sooner had Angel finished speaking than another young voice rang in the ears of people around the World.
"This is the X-Men. I am Captain Charles Xavier, initiating a global broadcast."
"The Soviet Union warship that crossed the stop line has been controlled by Sebastian Shaw. Everyone, do not be deceived!"
"Shaw is here. To avoid unnecessary conflict, please, both armies, do not open fire."
"Leave it to us!"
After Charles's voice disappeared, Angel's broadcast resumed, his tone extremely excited: "It stopped! Neither side made further moves. The conflict has temporarily eased!"
Old Tom and Old Jerry immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was only a temporary relief, they both knew that once the hot-headedness subsided, those politicians could still find some intelligence in their barren brains.
"I still think you should have said those words."
Inside the X-Jet, Charles said to Fang Yuan.
Having him pretend for the entire World to see made him feel a bit awkward, and Charles felt that Fang Yuan should be the leader of the Mutants now.
But Fang Yuan shook his head, casually spouting: "At times like this, it's easier to gain goodwill if a more familiar character steps forward."
"Alright, let's get going!"
Professor X and the others nodded, quickly speeding up their work, leaving Fang Yuan alone, barely suppressing a smile.
Because as soon as Angel's broadcast finished, Fang Yuan noticed that Charles's reputation instantly surged by 10 points!
It jumped from 95 to 105, which also meant he had unlocked Professor X's third-tier reward!
[Name: Charles Xavier]
[Level: A+]
[Reputation: 105 (World-Renowned)]
[Unlocked Reward: Third-tier Reward (Claimable)]
[Third-tier Reward: Obtain Character Template - Professor X, Telepathy upgraded to A-rank, Mental attribute increased to D-.]
This was Fang Yuan's reason for giving Charles the chance to shine. Those empty titles were useless to him, but for Professor X, they were real, tangible superhuman powers!
He immediately claimed this auspicious reward from Professor X. Even though he had prepared himself, a strong mental fluctuation still erupted.
Charles immediately sensed it and looked over, but Fang Yuan gestured that it was nothing, so he didn't say more.
Now, the X-Men's trust in Fang Yuan had skyrocketed.
After Fang Yuan claimed Charles's character template, he immediately felt the mental fluctuations of everyone within 500 meters around him. The flood of information made his brain feel slightly swollen, but fortunately, his mental attribute was no longer what it used to be, and it was within his tolerance.
He took a few deep breaths, forcefully reining in his thoughts, and only returned to normal after a while.
The 500-meter range seemed very small, not at all consistent with Professor X's abilities.
However, the development of the unlocked character template was based on the target's current stage.
[Character Template: Charles Xavier (A+ rank, 12% development)]
Fang Yuan hadn't expected that Charles's development of his own abilities was only 12%, but considering this was a novice Professor X, this development was understandable.
But he tried it, and if he concentrated his focus on only one person, his Telepathy range could still reach 2 kilometers.
Because his mental attribute reached D-, the memories in Fang Yuan's mind became incredibly clear. He clearly remembered that in the comics, Professor X's sensory range could reach an astonishing 400 kilometers!
Moreover, movie version Superheroes are inherently much weaker, and he himself was limited by his mental attribute.
So, it was still the same saying: the future is promising.
Fang Yuan's gaze shifted to Eric. Professor X had already contributed his character template; it was Eric's turn.
The showman was about to make a scene.
Angel Warren's broadcast continued. He carried a communication device, flying in the sky to observe the situation, providing detailed reports to the entire World.
"The X-Men's plane has stopped above the sea…"
Angel's words left many people confused.
How could a plane stop above the sea? Were the X-Men flying a helicopter?
At this time, the Harrier jump jet, which could hover, was still in the laboratory.
However, people's attention was then drawn by Angel's next words.
"The plane door opened, and Banshee jumped directly into the sea. Is he… a sonar!" Angel narrated vividly, "Banshee's ability is sonic waves. He's using himself as a sonar, searching for Shaw's location!"
"Another person emerged from the plane door. It's Magneto!"
"He's extending his hand towards the sea. What is he going to do?"
Angel was very good at creating suspense. Fang Yuan nodded; his decision to have Warren specifically learn storytelling really paid off.
Angel's broadcast continued, and people's thoughts moved with his words.
"Wait, Magneto's ability is metal manipulation. Could he be…"
"Oh my god!"
"Magneto actually pulled a submarine out from under the sea! That must be at least several thousand tons, right?"
Hearing this, the entire World was instantly in an uproar.
Before this, the Mutants known to humans were still like Angel, with an extra pair of wings, or like the other members of the X-Squad, who could read minds, shapeshift, or fire lasers.
Although very powerful, except for mind-reading, they hadn't made people feel extremely afraid, until Magneto's appearance.
Being able to control and pull a submarine with bare hands was simply too incredible, and many people even spontaneously developed a hint of fear.
If this submarine were to crash on their heads, or into a city…
"Fortunately, Magneto is on our side," Angel said with emotion at this point.
Many people immediately realized.
Yes, Magneto was a Mutant who was close to humanity, one of their own!
But this also made many ill-intentioned people temporarily abandon their thoughts.
Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys; this was also one of Fang Yuan's plans.
Mutants could not always show a gentle side to the outside World; this would make those with ulterior motives feel there was an opportunity to exploit.
Appropriate displays of power were more conducive to peaceful coexistence between Mutants and humans.
"After not seeing him for two or three months, Eric's ability has actually grown to this extent. So this is Fang's confidence."
Inside the submarine, Shaw said in a deep voice.
Three minutes ago, upon seeing the United States warships about to engage, only to be stopped by the X-Men's plane, Shaw knew that forcing a breakthrough to provoke the two armies into firing was not going to work.
But fortunately, he still had a backup plan.
Shaw put on his helmet to prevent mental detection and ordered: "Riptide, go and make the submarine descend. Since the X-Men want to fight, we'll fight them."
He smirked: "Just in time to buy some time."
Inside the submarine, there were only Shaw, Red Devil, Salvador, and Riptide.
White Queen was nowhere to be seen.
