Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 673: Searching for Magneto (Three in One)

Luo Xi used his psychic power to teleport four people directly from New York State to Virginia, a straight-line distance of more than 600 kilometers.

In this era, even using the most advanced supersonic fighter jets, it would take more than half an hour to travel, and that doesn't even include the time it takes to get to the military airport.

As a CIA agent, Moria has a strong sense of time. She has received professional training and can roughly judge how much time has passed even without external reference points.

And now, she was sure that only a moment had passed.

The concept of this amount of information flashed quickly through Moria's mind. Six hundred kilometers is just a moment, so what about a longer distance? Where is the limit?
Can this capability be shared with others? Can it be used in the military?
Although she is not a member of the military, as a CIA agent, she naturally has this sensitivity.

The reason why Luo Xi wanted to show off his skills in front of them was to achieve this effect. Before discussing cooperation, he always had to show his bargaining chips and value.

Led by Moria, the group quickly entered this seemingly unpopular building.

As mentioned before, the new Mutant Department led by Oliver is just a fledgling department designed to deal with the threat of mutants, and it doesn't have many staff at present.

Luo Xi met Director Oliver, a tall, slightly fat middle-aged man wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, who looked harmless.

"Director." Moria said, "I have brought them here."

Oliver, who was sitting on the chair, immediately stood up enthusiastically and looked at Charles, Luo Xi and Raven with a fiery look in his eyes.

Charles suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. His family had migrated from the European continent, and he understood Oliver's look very well.

However, his sexual orientation is very normal, which can be seen from the fact that Charles often flirts with young and beautiful ladies.

"I know you have always existed, and yes, I have always been right." Oliver was extremely excited.

"For years I've been the laughing stock of the CIA, and now I'm finally out of it."

Charles felt Oliver's enthusiasm with a wry smile. It was obvious that the fat minister had endured too much ridicule and sarcasm in the previous years.

After venting for a minute, the Minister of the New Mutation Department finally regained his original calm.

After all, he had been in the CIA for decades and was very good at controlling his emotions. He was just a little excited after his wish came true.

"I heard from my agent Moria that you want to negotiate terms with me?"

"Yes." Charles sat down opposite the director and answered clearly.

"Then tell me, what do you want?"

Luo Xi gave him these opportunities to deal with official agencies. Talking without practice is just empty talk. How much Charles has learned can only be known through practice.

"I know you are tracking down Shaw and his accomplices. This guy has already started to act. Colonel Hendry has been coerced by these people to do abnormal things."

Charles began to demonstrate the "value" mentioned by Luo Xi. The information they had about Xiao was of precious value.

Oliver's expression became more serious as he added.

"In fact, Colonel Hendry was not only held hostage, but we have been unable to contact him, so this big shot is likely to have died at the hands of Shaw."

Charles' pupils contracted. It was obvious that things were accelerating and Xiao was increasingly unable to suppress his ambition.

They also need to speed up and gather some mutants with sufficient strength to join this war.

"I can tell you the intelligence about Xiao and several of his capable subordinates, as well as how to deal with them, but in exchange, I need a promise."

Charles slowly stood up, half of his body lying on the table, getting closer and closer to Oliver.

"I need to become a special consultant to the CIA's New Mutant Department. At the same time, my Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters will also become a special partner of your department and will be eligible for the CIA's special allowances and benefits."

There was a hint of understanding in the minister's eyes.

The Professor Charles in front of him was much smarter and more sensible than he had imagined.

The so-called allowances and welfare benefits were all fake. After all, according to the information he had obtained from intelligence, Charles Xavier had enormous industrial wealth under his name.

Even not long ago, they monitored the inflow of 100 million US dollars in liquid funds into the bank account under the name of Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.

They consulted their colleagues at the tax bureau, but they couldn't find any faults at all. The tax situation of this sum of money was perfect, just like a textbook, and they had no chance of finding any faults.

Could such a billionaire, a member of the upper class, be interested in the pitiful funds of their department?
This is the identity he wanted, a special cooperation unit of the CIA. Although it was not an internal department, he was still half one of their own.

For special intelligence agencies like them, the concept of "their own people" is extremely important.

If their agents were confronted by the FBI next door, they would undoubtedly choose to help their own people.

Many times, even if they are wrong, they will never admit their mistakes. If they can't even protect their own people, who will work for you in the future?

If Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters had this level of protection, it would undoubtedly be of great help to its own living environment.

At least those media outlets that are trying to smear and criticize the company will give some face, at least they will not worry about offending them.

"Why should I agree to you, Professor?" Oliver was obviously moved, but he still maintained his airs.

"Because we are all in the same boat, Mr. Minister." Charles maintained his attitude. "After the advent of the nuclear age, perhaps due to the influence of radiation, the proportion of mutants in the human population has increased."

"With the development of the times, perhaps the number of mutants will explode one day. According to the data we have collected so far, the greater the number of mutants, the greater the possibility of the emergence of powerful individuals."

Charles took a piece of paper directly from the minister's desk and began to write and draw with the pen he carried with him.

"I can tell you some confirmed research data. Based on the known situation, we have divided mutants into five levels."

"Level one, the Ipsilon level, the lowest level of mutants. Their abilities are extremely weak, or even completely useless, and most of them will have mutated appearances, making them unable to integrate into society."

"The second level, the Delta level. Their appearance is no different from humans, and their abilities are not significant, but they are still very different from ordinary humans."

"Third level, Beta level. Their capabilities are already very strong. Even an organized army is needed to control them."

“Level 4, Alpha-level mutants possess terrifying destructive power and dominance.

They can destroy our cities in a short time. Even a metropolis like New York cannot withstand the destruction of Alpha-level mutants. Even a country may fall into chaos. "

The Minister was shocked by the data Charles presented. Most of the mutants he knew were somewhat useful, but not particularly useful.

The Alpha-level mutants that Charles mentioned were obviously completely different from what he knew.

"What about the Level 1? What abilities do Level 5 mutants have?"

"Level 5?" Charles laughed. "I have never seen a Level 5 mutant. If there is, then they might be called Omega-level mutants."

"The definition of a Level 5 mutant is actually very vague, but one thing is that they can create unlimited possibilities and do things that are impossible to do."

"Each Omega has the ability to annihilate the Earth beneath our feet. As for destroying humans, it is not a difficult task for them."

Minister Oliver was a little at a loss. He didn't know whether Professor Charles in front of him was deceiving him.

But from his personal point of view, he would rather believe that what Charles said was true.

The more important the mutant is, the more important his department is.

Charles took in every micro-expression of the man in front of him.

In fact, even if he doesn't use his ability to read minds, he can use micro-expressions, micro-movements and other details to judge a person's psychological activities. This is not difficult.

"Everything I said is true, and I'm not threatening you because it won't do me any good.

What I want to express is that as the number of mutants gradually increases, the country will inevitably pay more attention to mutants. "

"And which department has the best relationship with mutants and the deepest understanding? Naturally, it's our CIA's new Mutant Department, and it's you, Oliver."

"You have invested more than a decade of energy and time in mutants. Now, you can choose to continue to increase your investment, or stop here."

Even Luo Xi wanted to applaud Charles' speech. He learned too quickly and now understood the principles of empty promises and PUA.

He cleverly tied the interests of the mutants to Oliver's own interests.

If this is a bet, then Oliver has been betting for more than ten years and is finally starting to make a profit, so should he increase his bet?
Yes, of course, he wants to go all in!

"Professor, I admit that I am very moved, but..."

Oliver looked very embarrassed, and even Charles felt a little uneasy.

Is this fat guy really so rational? Can he calm down after hearing his extremely tempting words?

"But I congratulate you, and I agree to your terms."

Oliver suddenly changed his calm expression and smiled frankly at Charles.

call……

Charles kept his facial expression unchanged, cursing in his heart that this guy was really a joke.

Both parties stretched out their hands and shook hands vigorously, and the conditions were established.

Luo Xi stood aside and very timely took a photo of the two people shaking hands with the camera he carried with him.

After returning, they enlarged the photo, framed it, and hung it in the reception room of Charles Castle.

As for the title, it might be better to call it "Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters and the CIA achieve strategic cooperation."

As the terms were negotiated, the sense of estrangement between Oliver and them was reduced a lot.

The two sides began to share the information they knew and exchange views.

"In addition to Sebastian Xiao, our target also has someone else."

"Eric Lansherr." Charles said, showing a photo of Magneto.

"He also has a blood feud with Xiao. According to our intelligence, Eric is tracking down Xiao's traces."

Oliver handed the photo to Agent Moria and asked him to check the person's situation in the Intelligence Bureau's system.

"Eric's ability is to control magnetic fields. He should be a level three mutant now, but if he can tap into the potential of his talent, he will be a level four mutant."

Luo Xi said, and he handed Oliver a tablet-sized LCD screen.

This thing is still real black technology in this era. Oliver couldn't put it down and played with it, obviously having no intention of returning it.

"But this is not Eric's limit. If he can go deeper into the microscopic world and understand the nature of magnetism, then he will be at least a level 5 mutant."

The tablet in Oliver's hand began to play a demonstration video, in which a man who manipulated the magnetic field reversed the earth's magnetic poles with just a backhand.

As the magnetic poles reverse, horrific and devastating disasters follow.

A global super-earthquake that tears apart the continental shelf, followed by giant volcanic eruptions and devastating tsunamis, is enough to easily bury the entire human civilization under endless dust.

Oliver took a deep breath, and his fat body even began to tremble and twitch.

"Oh my God..." These are not mutants at all. Perhaps it would be okay to call them gods walking on earth.

Charles's explanation didn't make it so vivid at first, but now seeing the scene with his own eyes, Oliver suddenly felt that he had made the right bet.

In the face of such a powerful enemy, what are the conventional military strength, giant ships and cannons, and even nuclear weapons mounted on missiles that the superpowers are proud of?
Nuclear weapons may be able to destroy humanity, but they certainly cannot destroy the earth. Even if all the nuclear weapons of both camps are launched, the earth will not be damaged at all.

But if the mutant named Eric Lansherr can really fully master his own power, then destroying the earth will only take a thought.

Whoever can win the support of mutants will have power, because when this kind of cheating ability appears, the source of truth in human society has changed.

"In the past, the greatest truth was nuclear weapons, but now it seems that the greatest truth is Omega-level mutants who possess terrifying powers." Oliver sighed.

Luo Xi looked at Oliver's ecstatic expression and laughed in his heart.

If it were really that easy to master one's own abilities and understand the true nature of power, Omega-level mutants wouldn't be so rare.

Little did people know that the "Magneto" in the original timeline had used his abilities throughout his life to become the "Magneto King".

He didn't realize the magic of magnetism at all. He just spent his energy on working on a pile of scrap metal, but he did it to perfection.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately overturned the car, stopped the bullets, and even built an entire stadium from the ground as a place for him to show off.

"In theory, Professor X, Magneto, and even the Iceman who can reverse entropy and lower the temperature can reach the threshold of the fifth level.

But they have no systematic guidance at all, and are completely groping in the dark about their own abilities, so naturally they cannot develop to the top. "

"If the Iceman only thinks that he can create ice, then he naturally cannot touch the essence of his ability."

Luo Xi thought, but he was different. His vision was more than an order of magnitude higher than those humans who were still fighting and playing on Earth.

Completely destroying a planet might be difficult for an Alpha-level psychic in the Warhammer universe, but it is extremely easy for an Alpha+ level being.

Like Malcador the Sigillite, his psychic powers are second only to the Emperor and Magnus.

He is fully capable of extinguishing the sun in a single thought, or pulling out Titan and stuffing it into a created space-time gap to distort the flow of time therein.

"There are only a few Alpha-level or even Alpha+ mutants in the entire galaxy, but on this small Earth, the high-level mutants are so crowded that it's suffocating."

"It is confirmed that the Dark Phoenix Jean Grey has the strength of a Level 5 mutant, and Professor X, Magneto, and Iceman also have the potential to be Level 5.

Even the Black King Sebastian Shaw, who has been causing trouble, has a chance to reach the realm of Omega if he continues to delve into his own essence. "

When Xiao's title of the Black King was mentioned, Luo Xi's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

In his hometown, there really is a [King of Darkness]...

This title is really unlucky.

Even the Emperor had to fall into a deep sleep on the Golden Throne in order to prevent the Dark Lord from awakening.

Once the Dark King awakens, billions of humans in the entire galaxy will be swallowed by the Dark King just like the Eldar when Slaanesh was born.

If Xiao knew what the "Black King" meant, he probably wouldn't dare to use this nickname even if he had a thousand courage.

"But it doesn't matter. The more mutants with potential there are, the more genetic samples I can collect."

Luo Xi was extremely excited. In his eyes, the earth had already become his own private laboratory.

Sebastian, Charles, Eric and other potential mutants are the most precious experimental subjects.

These are all his personal property. Not to mention invaders, even if the mutants themselves want to kill each other, he will never agree.

Even ordinary humans are valuable potential experimental subjects. Many of them have blood containing X genes flowing in their bodies, and their offspring may become powerful mutants.

"I have obtained the genetic samples of Charles and Raven. In the laboratory of the Mars base, the Stoneman researcher has begun to analyze the genetic code and figure out how the X gene exerts such a powerful force."

Luo Xi also stayed in X Academy for a while, so it was not difficult for him to pick up some hair and body hair.

Of course, he didn't tell Charles and Raven. It would not be too late to confess such things after the situation became clear.

Female agent Moria soon brought good news that the CIA's intelligence network had found traces of Eric Lansherr.

"Eric Lensherr showed up in Argentina three days ago and killed a bar owner and two patrons at a venue called Villa Giselle."

"According to intelligence, the three people killed were all Nazi war criminals who fled to Argentina after World War II. They lived here under an assumed name for many years, but still died tragically under blades and bullets."

Although this incident happened in South America, the United States has always regarded South America as its own backyard, and even such a small matter did not escape their sight.

"Eric once spent some time in a concentration camp. He has a blood feud with Sebastian Shaw. He just wants to pry Shaw's location out of those people's mouths." Luo Xi said.

It's just a few old Nazis who died. Minister Oliver doesn't care about that kind of thing.

He even applauded Eric's revenge.

"So where is Eric now? We have to take control of his location!"

"His refueling records showed that he was heading to a seaport in New York State. We also found that the ship Xiao was on, the Gaspartina, was also operating in that waters," Moria replied.

"So what are you waiting for? Call in our agents and ask the local Coast Guard to assist in the investigation."

Oliver was a decisive man. He immediately picked up his pistol and prepared to rush to New York State.

"Wait, Minister." The female agent stopped Oliver.

"We have a faster way." Moria glanced at Luo Xi and said to the minister.

……

As the teleportation light dissipated, Roche once again teleported the trio, along with a dozen of Oliver's agents, to the port in New York State.

The strong female agent Moria has become accustomed to this feeling, but Oliver's tall and fat body can't withstand this feeling.

He only had time to find a handrail, then he lay down on it and started vomiting violently.

The other CIA agents managed to maintain their composure, guns in their hands, still looking at their surroundings in uncertainty.

Is this the mutant's extraordinary power? Teleportation?
Luo Xi, who had an oriental face, became extremely mysterious in the eyes of everyone. They simply could not understand how he did it.

Luo Xi just silently acted as a tool and only showed that he had the ability to teleport.

One can only make a fortune by keeping quiet. His main purpose on Earth is to collect as many mutant gene samples as possible without exposing himself.

Once the Mars base is built and the orbital dock produces a fleet sufficient to protect the safety of the entire solar system, Roche will isolate the Earth and keep its original environment as much as possible.

At least before collecting all the genetic samples of the mutants he selected, Luo Xi did not intend to make too many changes, so as to avoid causing a butterfly effect and causing problems for some mutants born later.

For example, Dark Phoenix Jean Grey.

Luo Xi started to get a headache when she thought of this level 5 mutant. If she remembered correctly, the power of the Phoenix behind her was too abnormal and posed a huge threat to humans.

It was not Qin who was powerful, but the Phoenix. Luo Xi had an instinctive awe and hostility towards this divine being.

The entire earth is his macro-laboratory, which continuously breeds mutants with all kinds of strange abilities and constantly enriches his biological gene resource library.

Just imagine how powerful a Space Marine would be if he had the self-healing ability of Wolverine, could control the atmosphere and lightning like Storm, and could control magnetism like Magneto.

They can freely leverage the power of the subspace and join the battlefield by teleporting, with a flexibility and freedom that exceeds that of power armor teleportation.

Coupled with the power armor that the Space Marines are proud of, the new Space Marines will be perfect both inside and out.

Although the Astartes have always said that their true strength lies in combat experience and skills, as well as their extremely firm thoughts and will.

But these are not in conflict, their strong will can better control the power of X gene.

And unlike the psychic think tank, these abilities can be realized through the X gene, and its replicability is much stronger than that of the think tank.

……

Minister Oliver led the team personally and first contacted the local Coast Guard.

"When did you get here? We just received the notice and you're here already?"

The Coast Guard officers were immediately incredulous, but Oliver just gave a mysterious smile.

"So, you should re-evaluate the value of the new Mutation Department of the CIA. We are committed to making better use of supernatural powers, so it is not surprising that we do something beyond common sense."

The official on the opposite side immediately showed an expression of "I understand", and then took his men and drove a patrol ship out of the port.

"Go that direction, they're there!"

"Arrest Xiao, this criminal against humanity is pushing the world to the brink."

Charles concentrated and calmed himself, activating his telepathic ability.

Invisible telepathy allowed him to feel the heart of the mutant fellow he had never met: full of anger, hatred and grief, and the strong desire for self-destruction even affected Charles.

And next to Eric, an extremely ugly and twisted mind made Charles instinctively angry. That was the soul projection of Sebastian Shaw.

With Charles leading the way, the patrol ship and three armed speedboats quickly headed towards the target location.

These well-trained coast guards fired more than a dozen flares into the sky, and the choppy sea was instantly illuminated by bright light.

Those armed speedboats acted separately, intending to rely on their mobility advantage to approach the enemy's ships from both sides and board them to complete the ship capture operation.

Luo Xi looked at this scene and instantly felt a trance as if time and space were intertwined.

Boarding is indeed a secret skill treasured by mankind. It has been used from the second millennium to the thirty-first millennium and is still applicable.

However, the other party had obviously discovered their intention. Within just a dozen seconds, a huge tornado suddenly rolled up on the originally calm sea.

The raging storm sucked up the sea water and easily overturned the landing craft that were trying to board.

The Coast Guard members screamed and fell into the water, about to disappear in the horrific storm surge.

Luo Xi quietly hooked his fingers, and an invisible force field pushed them up from the bottom of the sea, firmly sticking to the overturned armed speedboat like a magnet.

Oliver slammed his hand heavily on the guardrail. It was obvious that the mutant on the opposite side had begun to resist.

"Professor Charles, it's up to you."

However, before Charles could use his telepathic ability, something strange happened.

A giant steel snake tens of meters high suddenly rose from the seabed that had not yet calmed down. The huge anchor chain was pulled by an invisible magnetic field force and violently wrapped around Xiao's yacht.

The accelerating yacht came to a sudden stop under the pull of this tremendous force. Amid the wailing sounds of metal tearing and twisting, the upper hull structure began to collapse and disintegrate.

Luo Xi immediately realized that Eric, the Magneto King who had a strong fetish for big scenes, had finally started to take action.
