Chapter 434 X-Men vs. Hyperion (2)
"You can't leave."
Hyperion fell from the sky in a slightly disheveled state, the golden cloak fluttering behind him having disappeared. This was because Cyclops' attack just now had caused a big hole in the cloak, and Hyperion threw away the cloak upon seeing this.
"Get out of my way." The King of Cards narrowed his eyes, put one hand on Yang Le's body, and held a handful of playing cards wrapped in magenta energy in the other hand.
Although the others didn't say anything, they also showed off their abilities. Scott put his hand on the eyepiece, Iliana raised the Soul Sword, and Colossus silently held Yang Le in his arms so that Ororo could fully display his abilities.
"This is your ultimatum, human vigilante," Ororo threatened coldly. "If you try to stop us again, I can't guarantee whether my next attack will land on you or the nearby city."
The mutants really can't do anything to Hyperion in the short term, but that doesn't mean Hyperion is invincible. At least he is not without worries.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to start a war, mutant?" Hyperion looked at Ororo in surprise. Seeing her determination, Hyperion felt that she was serious.
"It's always humans who want to start a war!"
Ororo became very emotional after hearing what Hyperion said. For Ororo, who had experienced human experiments and imprisonment, humans were the oppressors.
But Hyperion didn't know all this. Although it was understandable that Ororo was emotionally unstable when facing an injured companion, in Hyperion's mind, she had already become a criminal by threatening with the lives of unrelated people.
"I can hear the heartbeat of your companion." Hyperion glanced at Yang Le in Colossus' arms. The Eternal Protoss' physique strengthened by cosmic energy allowed him to hear the other person's heartbeat without getting close to him.
Among the many fast heartbeats, only one heartbeat was faint. That was Yang Le's who had lost one shoulder. However, Hyperion was a little confused. Yang Le's heartbeat sounded very strange. He had heard the heartbeats of seriously injured patients before, but he had never heard of Yang Le's heartbeat. Hyperion could only attribute it to Yang Le's special physique. After all, he had never seen a vegetative person.
Hearing the roar of the engine, Hyperion looked up and saw a peculiarly shaped aircraft. It was the reinforcements that the mutants had called for just now. However, Hyperion didn't care about it. Even with the technological level of Howard Stark, the man with the Heart of Iron, he could only rely on some small tricks to give him a headache. He didn't think that the current level of technology on Earth was worthy of his attention.
"Cyclops, how's Swampfire doing?" Jean's voice came through the communicator. Her voice had lost its usual leisurely tone, and it was obvious that she was also very anxious.
Swampfire is Yang Le's code name, just like Cyclops or Gambit, they usually use code names when they are on the move. Gambit originally wanted to help Yang Le find one, but Yang Le rejected his kindness and used his real name as a code name.
"Not very well." Cyclops placed his hand on Yang Le's chest, feeling for his faint heartbeat. "I don't know how much longer he can hold on."
Jean, sitting in the co-pilot seat of the aircraft, hesitated for a second before finally making up her mind and saying, "Take care of Swampfire. I'll take care of that guy."
"What?" Cyclops looked at the aircraft in the sky in surprise. "Wait a minute, Jean!" Hyperion frowned slightly. With his hearing, he could of course hear Jean and Scott's conversation. Before he could figure out how Jean was going to help them, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.
"Ugh!" Hyperion covered his head, looking at the aircraft suspended in the air in shock. "Another psychic?"
After the 616 incident, human disgust towards mutants reached a new level. Almost all mutants with all abilities were labeled as pests. But just like pests are divided into different types, humans also vote on mutants with different abilities.
Among them, those with psychic and mental abilities undoubtedly came out on top thanks to Professor X's efforts, and people also had a clear understanding of the degree of danger not only of mutants, but of all superhumans.
It is said that because of the June 616 incident, many voices advocating for superhuman control have emerged among the public, and even their momentum is growing stronger and stronger. Of course, there are those who agree and those who oppose.
Because in the 616 incident, many superheroes stood up to protect the people, and superheroes generally hide their identities because they are afraid that their enemies will retaliate against the people around them, or cause trouble in their lives. Those who are protected should not cause trouble to those who provide protection.
With the issue of superhuman control as the topic, the two sides are arguing more and more fiercely on the Internet, but the government officials are playing dead at this time, as if everything happening on the Internet does not exist. In the end, no matter how much the powerless people argue, it is useless, and time will eventually dilute everything.
However, the fear of mutants with psychic and mental abilities is deeply ingrained in the general public. Whenever a similar mutant appears, as long as Magneto and the others don't discover it first, there is an 80% chance that they will only see a corpse.
Scott has collected the bodies of four compatriots who are said to have psychic powers. Once, he lost control and beat up a policeman. That was because Hank deciphered the video in the police interrogation room and found that the policeman had abused the dead mutant before his death. Because of this, he and Gambit were blocked in the police station by the army.
In the end, Magneto came to rescue the people. Of course, he did not forget to kill the policeman before leaving. Magneto used the guns of the army that arrived and all the guns of the police station to execute the bastard. In the end, the forensic doctor only found a small amount of human tissue among a large number of bullets, which was less than one or two ounces on the scale.
Not only that, Magneto also cut off one of the police chief's hands on the grounds of poor supervision. Faced with Magneto's oppression, the government did not say anything and once again played dead. Even though such a big commotion occurred, there was not a single report, and there was no news on the Internet, as if nothing had really happened.
Since then, Scott understood that the only real truth is to have a strong fist. If he wants to protect Jean in this society, he must become strong enough.
But Scott is not strong enough now. He cannot make a country blind by his own strength. It is undoubtedly dangerous for Jean to expose her existence at this time, so he was so anxious when he heard that Jean was going to use her ability.
"Uh ah!" Hyperion's question did not get an answer. Jean only increased the damage to his brain. At this time, the voice of Beast Hank appeared in the communication channel.
"Don't waste time. Let's run while Qin is holding him back."
