American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

But this time, in order to rescue Thor and Steve as soon as possible, he had to make concessions.

According to intelligence, Hydra is also researching the Super Soldier Serum, and if they were to use it for a long time, Steve, the perfect experimental subject, would be a prime candidate.

Who knows if Hydra might have a stroke of luck and successfully reverse engineer the Super Soldier Serum?

It's important to understand that scientific research has always relied heavily on luck, and no one knows whether Hydra's scientific approach might be blessed with a stroke of genius.

Even if the possibility is very low, it is not entirely impossible.

To completely eliminate this potential threat, Nick Fury would have to temporarily back down, relinquish command, and agree to Charles's demands.

All of this was done to rescue Steve and Thor as quickly as possible.

Having made up his mind, Nick Fury began to insincerely try to get close to him.

"Old friends, we're all getting old. The stage now belongs to the young people."

"Command can be handed over to you, but you must ensure the safe rescue of Thor and Steve."

Charles nodded solemnly and said, "We've simulated the entire rescue plan, and the success rate is as high as 90%. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to make such a guarantee."

Having reached an agreement on the collaboration, Nick Fury politely took his leave.

"When I get back, I will send a special operations team to assist you, and I will also make sure Carol is under your command."

Professor Charles nodded calmly. After the cooperation was agreed upon, he had Raven politely see Nick Fury off.

Time was of the essence, so the rescue operation was scheduled for 12 hours later.

This marks the first time the X-Men, who have been hidden for many years, have appeared before the world, and they are even collaborating with the renowned Avengers.

Charles made thorough preparations for this, and only after confirming that all aspects had been considered and perfected did he allow the X-Men to begin their operation.

At this critical time for humanity, it is time for mutants to step forward and contribute their share.

In Charles's view, this was a golden opportunity to get humanity to accept mutants.

A crisis can also be an opportunity.

The question of how to eliminate humanity's fear of mutants may begin with this collaborative rescue effort.

The X-Men, aboard the Blackbird and two Quinjet spaceplanes full of special agents, broke through the atmosphere and flew towards Australia.

......

The rescue plan failed miserably the next day.

If the X-Men hadn't retreated quickly, and if the Special Operations Team hadn't risked their lives to buy them time, they would have almost perished at the Brotherhood's headquarters.

Charles had calculated everything, but he hadn't calculated the human heart.

Or rather, the seeds of this problem were sown the moment he swore never to probe the minds of his own people again.

Every cause must have an effect.

When the Brotherhood successfully established a mutant nation in Australia, and with the special abilities of mutants, it thrived even more amidst natural disasters.

Mystique Raven and Polaris Lorna Dane believe that Magneto's actions have given mutants a real chance to control their own destiny.

So, on the eve of the rescue operation, their stance changed without them realizing it.

Raven and Lorna secretly contacted Magneto, deliberately revealing the rescue operation to him.

Chapter 133 Taking a step back, the more I think about it, the more angry I become

With two more traitors within the X-Men, it would be a miracle if the rescue operation succeeded.

Fortunately, Raven and Lorna still had feelings for their X-Men partners. Although they suddenly betrayed them during the rescue operation, they still let the X-Men escape.

However, the rescue operation failed, which caused unrest among the X-Men, and Charles even felt so guilty that he couldn't sleep for several days.

Nick Fury learned that of all the Secret Service agents sent on the rescue mission, only Carol had returned alive.

He couldn't help but hurl profanities in his office for a full half hour.

Charles is too kind and unreliable; we shouldn't have had any wishful thinking in the first place.

Unfortunately, so many elite special operations team members were sacrificed as cannon fodder to cut off the enemy's retreat.

"I'd be a fool to trust Charles again!"

Nick Fury tried to remain calm. This rescue had alerted the Brotherhood, and they would undoubtedly be more vigilant from now on.

Endure the calm for a while.

The more I think about it, the more I get angrier!

"Even if the Avengers were assembled, they couldn't break through the Brotherhood's impenetrable defenses. The mutants' strength is extraordinary, FUXX..."

Muttering curses as he left the office, Nick Fury could only gather the Avengers to brainstorm and see if they could come up with a good way to save the people.

Half an hour later.

With his hair all messy, Tony Stark and Dr. Banner deliberately interrupted their research to attend this emergency meeting.

Natasha, Clint, Coulson, Agent Hill, Lieutenant Colonel Roddy, and Carol were all present.

In the conference room, as soon as everyone sat down, Tony Stark said impatiently, "My time is precious. What do you want to do by calling us here?"

Nick Fury, with a grim face, recounted the whole story of how Thor and Steve were imprisoned by the Brotherhood.

Upon hearing that the captain and that muscular guy had been arrested, Tony Stark's expression turned serious.

"Magneto's abilities are a great counter to my gold-titanium alloy armor. Only by developing a non-magnetic nano-armor can I be confident in fighting Magneto."

"I probably can't help you now."

Clint looked puzzled: "Many high-tech arrows are also made of metal, and Magneto's abilities are also a counter to mine."

Natasha remained calm; she was already used to dealing with enemies far stronger than herself.

Carol also looked serious; she was equally unsure how to deal with the Brotherhood.

The Brotherhood isn't just about Magneto being strong; his subordinates are also formidable figures.

During yesterday's rescue operation, Carol was surrounded and attacked by Magneto's henchmen.

Although the enemy can't do anything to her in the short term, given enough time, these mutants will definitely find a way to deal with her.

With that in mind, Carol shook her head slightly at Nick Fury and said, "I'm not sure either. Can you find that mysterious mage to help you?"

Nick Fury fell into deep thought. Those female wizards had visited him before, and although the process was a bit complicated, at least he had gotten to know them.

"I'll try to contact a few wizards; perhaps they can help."

Lieutenant Colonel Roddy asked in confusion, "Wizards? Them?"

......

Atlantean Moon City.

Beneath the unchanging starry dome, a large number of extraordinary individuals gathered around the royal palace, ready to rush in and eliminate the intruders who were wreaking havoc on the palace.

Black Bolt, as the leader of the Inhumans, was humiliatingly crippled and driven out of the palace.

He was filled with rage whenever he thought about his wife and daughter being violated by that terrifyingly powerful mage.

But the scene of being easily defeated was still vivid in his mind, so he dared not cause trouble in person.

So he devised a plan to incite the other extraordinary individuals to cause trouble for that sorcerer.

In short, Black Bolt's attitude is: if I'm not having an easy time, neither are you.

However, Harvey didn't take the threats outside the palace seriously at all.

He was playing hide-and-seek with Medusa and Crystal Princess in a misty, fairy-tale-like bath.

The two women took turns diving into the water, displaying their exquisite oral skills.

Let Harvey immerse himself in a blissful state of enjoyment.

In the adjacent bedroom, the studious Hermione was discussing and researching new spells with Cho Chang, striving to improve her abilities.

Wanda, though isolated, also wanted to improve.

So she made a tough decision, and together with Mariko and Yukio, dressed in swimsuits and bikinis, went to Harvey to learn magic.

at the same time.

The strange beings surrounding the palace were finally ready. They shouted in unison to kill the intruders and rushed into the palace from four directions at the same time.

But as soon as they crossed a certain boundary, stepping over the palace gate or wall, their movements stopped in a strangely orderly fashion.

Seemingly remembering something important, they all turned back along the way and hurriedly left the palace.

The effect of the Muggle banishment spell is not noticeable on Inhumans.

Even though this was an upgraded 2.0 version of the Muggle Exorcism Curse, these Inhumans realized they might have been hit just a few hundred meters away.

"Is this... psychological suggestion?"

"Does the intruder also possess telepathic abilities?"

"How about we try a ranged attack?"

"Are you insane! You don't even know the exact location of the intruders, do you want to smash the entire palace to pieces?"

"What should I do?"

"Invite Prince Maximus, who is also a mind manipulator, to come over..."

......

ten minutes later.

Black Bolt's brother, Prince Maximus, refused to fight the invaders who occupied the palace.

Despite launching numerous coups, Maximus dreamed of usurping the throne from Black Bolt.

But the mysterious mage was able to easily freeze the entire area with magic, so his strength was far beyond what he could possibly provoke.

The coup failed, and Black Bolt, considering family ties, did not kill him.

But Maximus feared losing his life for angering the mysterious sorcerer.

Therefore, the Inhumans, unable to obtain the Prince's support, had no choice but to seek help from Black Bolt, who was recuperating.
