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

Chapter 679 Crazy Xiao (Three in One)

The news brought by Charles made Luo Xi happy.

Of course he knew the route that Sebastian Shaw had taken on the nuclear submarine, but his goal of improving the social status of mutants and accelerating their integration into human society had not yet been completed, so Shaw could not go offline too early.

But he did not know that the White Queen Emma would leave Xiao and go to the capital of the Alliance alone.

What does she want to do?
"Xiao has noticed our threat. He is trying to make changes and attract more forces to achieve his ambitions." Luo Xi judged.

"Charles's idea is right. The White Queen is a great threat to us. She is also a powerful fourth-level mutant who possesses both psychic abilities and the power of diamondization of her body."

Luo Xi's words sounded high-sounding, but in fact, what he really wanted in his heart was to study the White Queen Emma carefully.

In a short period of time, one's flesh and blood can be transformed into a material that is no different from natural diamonds, thus possessing the same physical properties as diamonds.

This may sound impressive, but in fact, although diamond has remarkable hardness, it is extremely fragile, especially under the impact of external forces, it can easily break.

Transforming oneself into a diamond form to resist attacks is not a very clever method.

Physical blows and high temperatures will completely destroy diamond defenses.

But as Roche mentioned, many of the mutants' abilities are only superficial, and they are often accustomed to using their precious talents as hammers.

Emma's body has unique characteristics in material transformation. Similar to her is the future mutant named "Colossus", who can also transform his flesh and blood into extremely strong metal materials.

Although Emma's diamond body is not good at resisting physical damage, due to the structural characteristics of the transparent crystal, it has special advantages in dealing with high-energy lasers and energy weapons.

Attack forms such as high-energy lasers, gamma rays, neutron beams, and electromagnetic pulses can be directly penetrated by special crystal structures instead of being foolishly resisted.

Even in Roche's expectation, there must be a transparent crystal structure that can be highly immune to the Gauss rays of the Necrons. As long as it is allowed to pass through the body, it will naturally not cause irreparable destructive injuries.

Among the potential enemies that humans have to face are terrifying beings like the Necrons. Roxi has been racking his brains to think of ways to deal with these powerful and seemingly invincible enemies.

The appearance of the White Queen Emma undoubtedly provided him with a feasible idea that has been put into practice.

"You look particularly...excited?" Charles looked at Luo Xi with a little suspicion.

"Is there any information that I don't know?"

Luo Xi's face suddenly turned red, but as he was well-trained, he naturally would not show his embarrassment.

He couldn't say that he really wanted to capture the White Queen Emma and take her to the laboratory to study her mutant talent in detail, right?

He was sure that if he revealed similar thoughts, even the good-tempered Charles would turn against him.

Not to mention that Eric, a real extreme radical, would put him on the same list of enemies as Sebastian Shaw.

He wanted to study, discover, and explore the talents bestowed by the mutant X gene, but he definitely did not want to gain knowledge through such cruel and perverted behavior.

In terms of the bottom line, he is fundamentally different from those unscrupulous technical priests of the Mechanicus.

Humanity has always been a treasure that Luo Xi is proud of. Only by relying on this anchor can he remain steadfast on this extremely difficult path.

The pioneers on this road include the Chief, the Emperor, and him.

He wanted to accomplish the great cause that even the Emperor had failed to accomplish - to liberate all human beings from the slavery of any enemy.

He wants every human being to live with dignity. They will grow up under the sunshine and blue sky, and can stand proudly in the world without having to experience hardship and torture.

He hopes that everyone can be like a dragon, and that every individual in human civilization can contribute his or her own strength to promote overall progress, rather than pinning all hopes on an extraordinary leader.

Individual strength will eventually be limited. Only when all human beings unite and make progress together can we go the furthest.

Luo Xi did not tell anyone about his ideas. He just quietly selected partners and comrades who could accompany him, and cultivated and strengthened his own strength in secret.

"These little guys are not yet fit for direct combat. Let the four of us take on the task of capturing the White Queen."

Luo Xi was referring to Charles and Eric, as well as Wolverine Logan beside him.

Taking mutants like Alex with him to carry out the mission would probably cause far more trouble than help. Asking them to use their power now is really asking too much.

"That's what I thought." Charles said with a smile, "Let's set off now without further ado."

The professor left Raven and Hank to look after the house. They will continue to teach the new mutant students and improve their discipline and combat skills.

Although Raven was a little worried about Charles' safety, she stayed after being comforted by her brother.

Compared to Charles, Eric and the others, Raven is just an immature sister, but compared to these new mutant students, Raven is already a mature and reliable senior.

Luo Xi and the other three came to the open space of the academy, and Charles found the exact location of the White Queen and immediately activated psychic teleportation and disappeared.

A huge gear mark was left on the flat lawn, and the plants ignited by the scorching energy were still sizzling.

"That's so cool. Can this Principal Luo Xi also teleport with others?"

After the oppressive Wolverine Logan disappeared, these mutant teenagers with eccentric natures suddenly returned to their original state.

The Siren ran to the place where Luo Xi teleported away in disbelief, and bent down to try to find some clues.

Their abilities may vary, but they are still within the range of common sense. However, they are far inferior to teleportation.

The arrogance that naturally arose in the hearts of these young people because of their extraordinary powers was suppressed again.

They suddenly realized that perhaps compared to those truly powerful mutants, their own power was nothing.

……

On the other side, Luo Xi had already led the three people across a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers and arrived at a secret military base of the Alliance.

This place is just a deserted primitive jungle on the map. If it weren't for Charles' telepathic positioning, it would probably take some effort for Roxi to find this place.

Some soldiers wearing green uniforms, camouflage helmets and leading German Shepherd dogs were patrolling in the jungle. Their dogs suddenly seemed to smell something and started barking non-stop.

"Pavlov, what did these dogs find?" a captain asked the soldier who trained the military dogs.

"No, nothing, I didn't see any unusual people." The soldier named Pavlov replied.

In front of the patrolling soldiers, Luo Xi and his four companions quietly appeared in the jungle.

Charles used his telepathic abilities to block and modify the minds of these soldiers, erasing any trace of his own existence.

But Charles was immediately troubled by those military dogs who had simple minds and acted more on instinct.

He didn't know how to control the dog's mind. It was beyond his ability for the time being.

Logan, who was following silently at the side, suddenly let out a low roar from his throat, which at first sounded like noisy ambient noise.

But the next second, the military dog ​​that was still barking suddenly tucked its tail between its legs, and even its ears drooped down. It trembled all over and closed its mouth with a look of fear on its face.

It could feel the majesty and oppression contained in that voice.

"It seems that your ability is not omnipotent, Charles." Eric said from the side, looking at Logan and Luo Xi behind him with complicated eyes.

"At least you can't do anything with the dog."

He felt that he could not see through these two people at all. They seemed to be shrouded in fog all the time, yet they could display some amazing abilities from time to time.

"Of course, there is no such thing as perfect ability in the world. The X gene has endowed us with different talents, but I believe that even the legendary Omega-level mutants cannot achieve the so-called 'perfection'."

“Each of us has areas where we are good at and areas where we are not good at.”

Charles searched for the other person's location and responded to Eric's teasing elegantly.

"Perfection doesn't exist?" Eric said in a low voice.

"I found her approximate location. Emma entered that private villa. I can't see more closely."

Charles suddenly warned.

"Emma is also a powerful telepath. I can't directly scan her position, otherwise it will expose us immediately."

"I can only indirectly scan the guards who saw her and infer her whereabouts."

"Emma is dressed very sexy. She is here to see a high-ranking military official from the Allied Powers."

As he said this, everyone showed expressions of understanding.

"Could it be that this woman wants to seduce the general?" Logan said in a low voice.

"Perhaps the real conspiracies are all plain and simple. If you want to win over someone, you have to cater to their interests."

The four of them smiled immediately and then continued their infiltration mission.

With Charles' assistance, they quickly bypassed the guards and entered the official's private villa.

And the White Queen Emma was currently in the room separated by a wall.

Roche used his power to distort the physical properties of the wall, allowing it to let light pass in one direction.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw an extremely ridiculous scene.

The high-ranking military officer had already taken off his pants and was sitting on the bed in an ungraceful manner.

A pair of big hands grabbed the air wantonly, as if being in a wonderful fantasy.

"You are such a beauty... Beautiful, so beautiful!"

Charles: ...

Luo Xi: ...

They could see clearly that the White Queen Emma was sitting on a chair beside them with her legs crossed, eating specially provided biscuits and desserts. With just her gestures, she had already made the high-ranking official run around in circles.

"You guys who play with minds are really scary." Eric said in a serious tone. When he looked at Charles, there was an extremely subtle fear in his eyes.

If there is no way to deal with this abnormal mind control ability, no matter how strong other mutants are, they will only be a tool for others.

"Right now, the situation between the two camps is still too stable. Xiao's intention is to make one of them lose control first, forcing the other to take countermeasures."

"If one side releases all its nuclear bombs and missiles in Cuba, war is inevitable."

Emma whispered while chewing on a biscuit. As a loyal fan of Sebastian Shaw, she was trying her best to help her leader fulfill his wish.

Suddenly, the White Queen, who had extremely sharp senses, sensed a slight abnormal mental fluctuation, as if someone was secretly spying on her.

She gathered her spiritual power and expanded it radiating outwards.

Just when she was about to discover Luo Xi and others, the door of the room was violently knocked open by a huge force, and the door bolt and the explosion-proof hydraulic rod behind it were pulled out with ease.

Wolverine, like a prehistoric beast, rushed into the room at a speed that Emma had no time to react to.

In front of him wearing power armor, even if it was a steel door of a vault, it was no different from mud.

The Astartes's reflexes were completely different from those of ordinary humans. Even though the White Queen was a psychic mutant, she still couldn't transcend this limitation. By the time the White Queen reacted, a massive metal hand had already grabbed her neck and forcibly lifted her into the air.

Her face flushed red, and she instinctively wanted to struggle desperately, but the big hand that grabbed her throat was like copper or iron and could not be moved at all.

The strong feeling of lack of oxygen and suffocation caused the White Queen to immediately transform into diamond form. In this state, she could survive without even breathing.

However, turning into a diamond does not mean that she can escape from Logan's iron hand. The electronic muscle bundles of the power armor begin to exert force, and Wolverine is like an indestructible hydraulic press, tightening Emma's throat more and more.

Her body was reaching its limit and her diamond body could collapse and disintegrate at any time.

"Logan, don't kill her!" Charles shouted anxiously.

Wolverine just snorted in response, and when he saw Luo Xi nod slightly, he loosened his hand slightly.

"It's you! You are the ones who are against Xiao!" Emma, ​​who was almost strangled to death by Logan, cursed immediately. She couldn't understand why these mutants were standing against Xiao.

They are clearly fighting for the future of mutants, but these mutants are turning against their own kind and are willing to become humans' lackeys.

"We are enemies with Xiao? He is the one who is against the world!" Luo Xi said with hatred.

"You believe in your heart that you cannot compete with humans, so you want to use nuclear war to severely damage the countries and societies composed of ordinary humans, thereby narrowing the gap in strength between the two sides."

"Why, do you really want to be a king and queen with Xiao in a nuclear apocalypse with wasteland everywhere?"

Luo Xi's words were like a sharp razor, cutting open Emma's inner thoughts and exposing all the unspeakable dark thoughts in broad daylight.

"Time will prove who is right. Mutants will inevitably replace humans because we are stronger and more perfect." Emma was still stubborn.

"If you want to kill me, just do it. Why do you have to bully me?"

Looking at the White Queen, who looked righteous and ready to die, Luo Xi immediately showed a sarcastic smile.

"Kill you? How can I bear to kill you?"

“You are worth more than you think.”

Luo Xi's words made Emma confused, but she instinctively felt a deep malicious threat.

"Tell me, where is Xiao?!"

Unlike Luo Xi's compassionate attitude towards women, Eric is even more unscrupulous.

His mind was filled with the obsession of revenge against his mortal enemy. Anyone who dared to stand in his way would be his mortal enemy.

The metal material was extracted from the luxurious bed where the senior official was lying. Eric's magnetic field controlled the metal and instantly tightened around the diamond-form Emma's abdomen.

Under the metal strangulation, everyone heard an extremely crisp shattering sound, and cracks broke along the metal traces and even began to spread into the body.

The White Queen did not expect Eric to be so cruel and ruthless. When those men saw her, even the most vicious ones would have their inner desires aroused.

And she only needed to snap her fingers to make those stupid men walk away like dogs.

Looking at Eric's hideous face, her inner determination was suddenly shaken. Before the crack spread, Emma turned back into flesh and blood.

As soon as he switched back from the diamond form, Charles immediately invaded the other party's spiritual world and saw Xiao's true purpose.

"Madman, this madman!"

"He's even crazier than we thought!"

"He not only wants to intensify the conflict between the two camps and plunge them into a nuclear war, but also wants to use nuclear weapons to detonate the Yellowstone super volcano in North America!"

Luo Xi was stunned when he heard this. This part was different from what he remembered.

If mutants can still survive a nuclear apocalypse, then if the world's largest and most active super volcano explodes, even mutants will find it difficult to survive.

Yellowstone volcano is completely different from other volcanoes. It doesn't even have a signature volcanic cone because the super volcano is just a huge plateau.

Its magma reservoir is buried deep underground. The enormous force caused even the crater to be completely shattered during past volcanic eruptions, leaving behind only a terrifying caldera with an area of ​​84*45 kilometers.

This time, even Eric's boiling fire of revenge was frozen.

Does this bastard really want to take everyone to hell, or is he just tying them up and threatening them?

"So, obey us, let's become friends in one camp, and maybe Xiao can give up this crazy idea."

Emma's voice was extremely hoarse, but it revealed a kind of happy pride.

Yes, Xiao's original plan was just to let a nuclear war break out between the two poles of the world, but when he saw a group of his own kind actually chose to stand in front of him, he changed his mind.

The cards he has in his hand are not big enough, so he needs some more powerful means of threat.

He wants to destroy those mutants who are unwilling to obey his will and betray their own race and camp.

Shaw has the ability and means to protect a group of people in the harsh environment after the eruption of Yellowstone volcano and allow them to continue to survive. He wants to destroy this filthy world and then create a home for the mutants themselves.

Luo Xi couldn't help laughing in his heart as he listened to the White Queen's crazy narration.

Why, why on earth, these lunatics are unwilling to head for the starry sea even though they have the ability.

Would they rather destroy civilization on Earth and occupy a shabby world to build their own kingdom, rather than take to the stars and build a civilization on a foreign land?

Roche can allow mutants to have their own ambitions, but it is better to eliminate such stupid ambitions.

Charles suddenly felt hesitant. If Xiao could really do what he said, then what could they use to deal with this madman?

Don't go toe-to-toe with lunatics, because this is their area of ​​expertise and going against them is tantamount to seeking your own death.

Charles and Eric looked at each other, and they both saw trouble in each other's eyes.

Although they have some conflicts in ideology, their general goal is the same, which is to continuously improve the mutant community.

The former is more moderate and conservative, while the latter is more extreme and radical.

They all couldn't accept the world perishing in an extinction disaster caused by a volcanic eruption, because most of the mutants would be buried with it.

Charles took a few deep breaths and subconsciously placed his hope on Luo Xi.

He has never been able to fully see through this man. Perhaps this guy can find a solution.

Charles' character enables him to withstand pressure with his resilience even when he has no stronger support.

But if there is a "tall pillar" by his side, he will give the choice to the other party without hesitation.

This is his strength and also his weakness. Compared with Eric, he is always less ruthless and unscrupulous.

"Have you finished? Do you have any other threats? If so, please tell me all at once. I'm in a hurry."

Luo Xi's answer made the smile on the White Queen's face suddenly freeze.

She knew Eric and also knew Charles' background, which was not difficult to find out for Xiao, who controlled the Hellfire Club.

The Hellfire Club is not only an organization that recruits outstanding mutants, it is also a social place for many bigwigs who are hidden in the secular world and can manipulate and guide many major countries.

Their connections and networks are far more amazing than people imagine.

Those ancient invisible nobles who have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years have always controlled the lifeline resources for the continuation of human society.

Finance, oil, arms, agricultural raw materials...

Their tentacles are everywhere, entangled in a complex web of relationships.

From a certain perspective, Xiao was just a spokesperson they pushed forward. Without their support, Xiao would not have been so successful at the time.

The major incentive for Xiao to make the two poles of the world fight each other and trigger a nuclear war is their dissatisfaction with their own interests.

They crave more benefits and nutrients, but parasitism can no longer satisfy their growing desire. Nuclear war is undoubtedly the best means of redistribution.

Xiao has always been under their instructions and control. He is like a hound, conscientiously following the arrangements of the big shots behind him.

He was enduring and waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to liberate mutants and become the master of his own destiny.

It's just that he doesn't dare to show it openly now, otherwise those big shots will crush Xiao like crushing an ant.

So what if Xiao can absorb energy and use it for his own benefit? If he wants to kill someone, there are simply too many ways to do it.

"Do you understand what I am saying? We can explode the Yellowstone volcano at any time if we want!"

"Aren't you afraid? Aren't you devoted to humanity and even willing to make enemies with your own compatriots? If the Yellowstone volcano erupts, the world will be over."

“Whether it is a superpower or a small country in Africa that can’t even afford food, the ending is the same: either they will die instantly in a volcanic eruption, or they will slowly freeze to death in the extreme cold of doomsday.”

The White Queen screamed, but that kind of weak mental control was like a breeze passing by for Luo Xi and nothing happened.

"Then detonate it." Luo Xi answered directly, "Do it now, don't waste time."

"I want to see if you have the courage. I don't care."

Emma felt like she was crazy, or maybe this mutant in front of her whose origins could not be traced was crazy.

Does he have any trump card to face the doomsday of a super volcanic eruption?
It's impossible, absolutely impossible. No mutant has the ability to fight against a planetary-level disaster.

Even if the legendary Omega-level mutant came, it would be useless. After all, human power cannot fight against the power of nature. She would rather believe that the person in front of her is just bluffing.

After learning about Shaw's plan and location, Eric immediately lost interest in this crazy woman.

He turned around and left, intending to rush to Xiao's current location and kill the beast.

"Leave her to me, I will treat her well."

Luo Xi expressed his opinion, and Charles also hesitated.

He doesn't want to hurt any of his fellow mutants, even if they have different positions.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt her. I'm just curious about her abilities." Luo Xi comforted and explained his thoughts.

Hearing this, Charles was relieved.

He believed in Luo Xi's character and guarantee. Such a person would never deceive him because of such trivial matters.

A mere White Queen Emma is not worth the price of reputation that Luo Xi has to pay.

Charles wiped out the consciousness of the senior official who was still amusing himself, and made him fall into a deep sleep like a baby.

After doing all this, Luo Xi immediately returned to X Academy with the three people and a trophy.

Before the full-scale war with Shaw, Roche's long-planned mutant X gene analysis plan can finally be officially launched.
