I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 42: The Extraordinary Prelude!

All three forces have their sights set on New York City.

The Vatican even formally submitted an application to the U.S. government for the Saint Seiya legion to enter the country.

"The Holy See's Saint Seiya legion...applies for entry?"

"Only five people?"

"What exactly are they trying to do?"

At a high-level meeting in the United States, several officials looked at the entry information submitted by the Vatican with uncertain expressions, and a tense atmosphere filled the meeting room.

"They're probably here because of the Jensen mutation incident."

"The Holy See's Saint Seiya Legion is essentially an armed force composed of mutants."

A middle-aged man in military uniform said in a deep voice.

"What Magneto did this time will completely destroy the image of mutants in the public eye. If the first large-scale exposure is in the form of terrorism... even Ye Feng and the Vatican will find it difficult to salvage their reputation."

Mentioning Magneto sent a shiver down everyone's spine. This meeting could not be postponed; to do so would mean compromising with the mutant forces.

They have contacted Professor X, Charles, and can only hope that he can stop the crisis.

But now that the Vatican has suddenly intervened, they find the situation even more troublesome.

Ye Feng's name was already well-known in the underworld and widely circulated in high-level circles.

His deal, especially regarding "immortality" and "rejuvenation," has attracted countless financial tycoons. If it weren't for their growing influence and that of the Vatican, this deal would probably have been finalized long ago.

"So, should we... approve it or not?"

"Approve it."

"Compared to the Brotherhood of Mutants, the Holy See is at least more trustworthy."

Finally, a senior executive sighed.

……

"A bunch of bureaucrats who are hesitant and indecisive."

Upon receiving the approval from the US government, a flicker of displeasure crossed the Pope's eyes within the Vatican. The entire process, from application to approval, had taken a full day, clearly a delay and a sign of wariness towards the Vatican.

He was well aware of the fear that the human elite held towards mutants, but as the Pope, he knew far too many of the world's hidden secrets. In his view, the existence of mutants was far more beneficial than harmful to the human race.

Unfortunately, those people will never understand.

He didn't dwell on it any longer and quickly relayed the message to Ye Feng.

……

Ye Feng, along with Logan, Clarisse, and two other Saint Seiya warriors, boarded a private plane bound for America.

The plane pierced through the clouds, its fuselage trembling slightly. Clarice glanced excitedly out the window, then turned to Ye Feng and asked:

"Your Majesty, how large is the scope of our mission this time?"

"There's no standard," Ye Feng replied calmly.

"The mutants who attack you are all enemies. But you cannot proactively and openly attack ordinary people. We are here representing the Vatican, and we must demonstrate the Vatican's majesty and glory."

He paused, then continued, "Moreover, we may not necessarily need to directly intervene in a head-on conflict."

This is, of course, only the version of events told to the other four people.

Under the influence of the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist, Magneto's mind had long since deviated from the norm, taking on a madness of desperate gamble.

With his abilities, if he were to unleash his full power, demolishing the entire city of New York would only take him a few minutes.

Unless... the being in Jean Grey's subconscious awakens and Dark Phoenix takes over her body, probably no one can truly stop Magneto.

Besides dealing with Magneto, Ye Feng had another objective on this trip.

The boy who appeared in X-Men 3 has the power to eliminate all other mutants.

Although it seemed to be only a temporary suppression, Ye Feng was very curious whether this ability could even affect Omega-level mutants.

……

Meanwhile, members of the Brotherhood of Mutants have moved large equipment to the top of New York City's tallest building.

They need to ensure that the energy released by the device can cover the entire city.

"Eric, are you really sure about this?" Mystique Raven walked up to Magneto, her voice filled with worry.

"Don't worry, Raven." Magneto's tone was normal, revealing no emotion.

"Everything is under control."

No one noticed the fleeting twisted and crazed look in his eyes.

……

"Even the Vatican has gotten involved."

Inside Xavier's School, Charles slowly put down the documents in his hands. As the most powerful telepath in the world, he could capture some high-level decisions and secret intelligence even without the aid of a brainwave enhancement device.

He was fully aware of everything: the Vatican's entry application, the US government's approval, and even the greed of some financial magnates for Ye Feng's "immortality deal."

He never expected that Ye Feng would willingly get involved in the conflict between mutants.

"Not surprising."

"After all, the recent shift in public opinion about mutants was almost entirely driven by him."

Charles muttered to himself.

Just then, Storm Ororo knocked on the door and entered.

"Professor, the plane is ready."

"Let's go."

"We can't let Eric succeed."

Charles maneuvered his wheelchair toward the door, his expression grave.

……

The Vatican's plane landed smoothly at the New York airport.

Ye Feng and his group of five descended the gangway, all dressed in silver-white combat suits specially made by the Vatican, which shimmered with a cold luster in the sunlight, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Your Majesty."

The head of the New York parish was already waiting respectfully by the tarmac.

Ye Feng now enjoys extremely high prestige within the Vatican. Almost all clergy members know that he has successfully handled several extraordinary incidents with decisive and effective methods, which has restored the faith of countless believers in the Vatican.

The group boarded the car, and the city scenery outside the window rushed past.

"Have you found Magneto's whereabouts?" Ye Feng asked without looking up as he flipped through the documents in his hand.

"It's locked, Your Majesty. Magneto has entered New York through special channels, and the Brotherhood has also gathered in large numbers."

"Pass the word down." Ye Feng closed the file and glanced at the person in charge.

"All clergy and their families in the New York diocese must evacuate within 24 hours, with the costs covered by the Vatican. Please do not remain in New York if possible."

The person in charge felt a chill run down his spine and immediately nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

He knew that Ye Feng never spoke without reason, which could only mean that New York was about to face a disaster that would engulf the entire city.

"Is the situation really that serious?" Logan asked in a low voice, his brow furrowed.

"It could be more serious."

"This time, we're facing... perhaps a Magneto who's willing to turn the entire city upside down."

Ye Feng looked out the car window at the towering buildings, his voice remaining calm.

The emergence of superhumans inevitably brings panic and turmoil. While leaders of various countries are aware of the horrors of mutants, they are far from truly understanding the extent of this "horror."

What Ye Feng needs to do is to use Eric's help to show his talent and establish his prestige and fame with the power of the Holy See and the Saints.

This tactic is called using both kindness and severity.

And he is the mastermind behind it all!
