In front of Superman, you have no choice but to give yourself to a little girl.

While Felicia was meeting Nova, the others were also busy.

Wolverine Logan located the mutant criminals who committed the attack and brought them back.

Reed scanned them with a machine but found nothing amiss.

Jean and Emma, ​​through a mental scan of them, discovered disjointed memory fragments and logically unnatural decision points.

Based on the memory errors and the absence of physical abnormalities, the group concluded that these mutants were being controlled by psychic beings.

Furthermore, the fact that these mutants "firmly believe they are unaffected and simply hate humanity" indicates the strength of the psychic abilities that controlled them.

Even if you no longer have control over it, the psychological suggestion it has created still exists—something only a psychic with the level of Professor X could achieve.

Hydra has a psychic who is no less capable than Professor X... which makes the already pessimistic situation even worse.

After all, psychic abilities are not only rare, but they are also more dangerous than other types of ability users of the same level.

Besides discovering that "Hydra has a powerful psychic," the group also gained other insights.

Through Susan and her team's arrest of numerous Hydra agents, the group finally uncovered some clues.

They already knew that these Hydra agents were unaware of what they were doing. The agents always received missions at fixed locations without any contact persons, and the missions were communicated via letters, USB drives, or similar means.

Moreover, they didn't know where the Hydra base was, nor did they know any of the Hydra executives, and these agents didn't even know each other.

It can be said that the Hydra leadership went to great lengths to prevent people from tracing their way through these Hydra agents.

Hydra and its agents didn't even have normal online communication.

Aside from still being "Hydra," the agents had almost no connection with Hydra anymore.

But as more and more Hydra agents were arrested, people finally realized something was wrong—they had something in common, such as having all encountered certain people.

These people may be street vendors or other inconspicuous figures, but the frequency with which they appear in the memories of Hydra agents has exceeded that of normal chance encounters.

The Hydra agents might not know who these people were, but Reed and his team absolutely refused to believe that these people were completely innocent.

Through the search and arrest of these individuals, the secrets hidden in their minds were finally exposed—they were indeed Hydra, and their presence near the agents was merely to confirm the agents' mission progress.

Although these Hydra members were well hidden and had tried to minimize the number of times they checked on the mission's progress, they were still discovered.

Using their psychic abilities, Emma and Jean also discovered memory errors in the minds of these Hydra members.

Although these Hydra members came from different bases, the parts where they misremembered all occurred when they were receiving or shipping supplies to their bases.

There is more than enough space in an airplane or ship used for transporting supplies to hide a person with psychic abilities.

After a quick screening, the group discovered that several bases had material exchanges with the bases where these Hydra members were located.

By searching those bases, there is a high probability of finding important clues, or even directly identifying a high-ranking Hydra official or the telepath.

Just when things were finally making significant progress, before anyone could take any action, a bombshell announcement completely disrupted the peaceful situation!

If those hostile nations initially pressured Kenosha through diplomatic isolation, economic sanctions, and resistance against mutants.

Now the situation has completely changed—a country has officially declared war on Kenosha!

The reason is that Magneto's "species cleansing plan," whether real or not, has been exposed.

Although Reed and his group knew very well that Hydra was most likely behind this, based on their understanding of Magneto, Magneto might actually have some ideas about that... like killing all humans and making mutants the sole rulers.

But whether it's true or not doesn't matter; all those war-mongering countries that have been itching for action need is just a reason.

With Superman around, no one dares to be the first to speak out. But once someone does speak out, the rest of us get restless—you can't just kill us all, can you, Superman?

……

Upon learning that the first shot of the war between humans and mutants had been fired, Reed and the others had no choice but to abandon their pursuit of the unknown psychic and instead fly to Kenosha in their fighter jets.

"We absolutely cannot let them fight!"

Steve, on the other end of the phone, could no longer maintain his usual composure. "Hydra's goal isn't to slaughter mutants, nor is it to start a war; it's the sixteen million mutants of Kenosha!"

As early as when he learned that Hydra possessed Sentinel robots capable of replicating mutant abilities, Steve thought of the 16 million mutants in Genoa.

If the Sentinel robots were to replicate the abilities of these 16 million mutants... the consequences would be unimaginable.

But at the time, Steve was confident that with Wayne in charge of Genosha, he didn't believe Hydra would actually dare to do that.

Now it seems he was wrong; Hydra is truly ruthless!

Moreover, those Sentinel robots are now officially affiliated with those warlike nations, and Hydra is essentially using them to help it collect mutant abilities.

They've got all the benefits, and they don't have to take the blame if something goes wrong. They've got a really clever plan.

"Rogers, we'll get to Kenosha as soon as possible."

Logan glanced at Ben in the driver's seat, then looked away and replied in a low voice, "What about your side?"

"us……"

Steve hesitated on the other end of the phone, then Tony's voice came through, "We're out of options. We've just become wanted criminals, and we'll have to figure out how to get out of this hellhole later."

After the first country declared war on Kenosha, Tony and Steve's two groups went to that country together to try to persuade them to abandon the war.

It would have been better if we hadn't come at all; once we arrived, we discovered—this was a snake den!

If it's the higher-ups being controlled by psychics, that's fine; they have Charles, who can handle that kind of situation.

But now Hydra calls the shots in this country, and Tony and his crew can't be described as "unwelcome" anymore; they're practically "rats in the street."

Moreover, this isn't one of those bases; this is a country. There are too many things to consider. They can't forcibly destroy this snake's nest; they can only devise a plan later.
