Chapter 19 Afterimage Fist shows its power

With lightning-fast reflexes, Hawking, carrying Storm in one hand and Nightcrawler in the other, quickly retreated to dodge Cyclops's red shockwave.

Magneto, who was walking at the front, simply raised his hand and moved the machine weighing several thousand kilograms to his front.

"They are your school's teachers, so you should handle it yourselves."

Leaving behind a single sentence, Magneto and Mystique abandoned Hawking and his companions and continued on their way.

"It won't take that long, I'll do it!"

With a loud shout, Hawking rushed toward Laser Eye.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Seeing Hawking approaching, Cyclops quickly pressed the switch on his laser glasses, and short-frequency red shockwaves shot out like lasers.

However, Hawking was incredibly fast and moved with remarkable agility, leaping and bounding like a monkey, managing to dodge every single shockwave.

The closer you get, the harder it is to avoid.

Just like a pistol, it's fast from five paces away, and both fast and accurate within five paces.

Only by staying close can you have a chance to win.

"Hawking, get out of the way!"

Storm, who was behind, had barely realized what was happening when she discovered that Hawking had already rushed out.

Before she could even activate her abilities to help, Hawking had already rushed to within a meter of Cyclops.

But for some reason, he suddenly stopped there and didn't move.

Laser Eyes showed no mercy, unleashing a red shockwave at Hawking's head.

With the power of the laser eye shockwave, if an ordinary person were hit in the head directly, they would probably turn into an exploding watermelon on the spot.

Unfortunately, although Storm has wide-range lightning and storm attacks, she is unable to help quickly because her abilities take a long time to activate and she is restricted in this base.

As for the Nightcrawler next to her who could teleport, he was a devout Christian who had never received any professional training and was still in a daze after the attack.

However, her eyes widened immediately, because the red shockwave passed right through Hawking's body, as if Hawking standing there was just a phantom.

"it's over!"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from above and behind Laser Eyes. Before he could turn his head, he felt a pain in his neck and fainted.

At this moment, Storm realized that Hawking had somehow jumped above Cyclops and slapped him on the neck.

"So strong!"

From the moment Lasereye launched his sneak attack to the end of the battle, it took a maximum of three seconds.

Hawking knocked out Cyclops, the X-Men's main fighter with extensive combat experience, in just three seconds. How could this not surprise her?

She didn't quite believe Wolverine's boasts about how strong Hawking was until she saw it with her own eyes and realized that what Wolverine said was absolutely true. If she were to fight Hawking at close range, she wouldn't be confident of winning.

They truly possess both wisdom and strength.

Hoisting Cyclops on his shoulder, Hawking swiftly returned to his original position, raising his hand to call out to Magneto and Mystique, who had only taken a few steps ahead:

"It's solved, no need to rush, let's do it together!"

In fact, laser eyes are very powerful. They absorb the energy in the surrounding environment and metabolize it into shockwaves, which are then released from the eyes.

If you remove the laser goggles that control the shockwaves and unleash them indiscriminately at full power, you're practically a human laser cannon, capable of easily destroying most buildings and instantly killing most enemies.

The key is that it hasn't cooled down yet, and the launch speed is extremely fast.

The only weakness is that he is not physically strong and has relatively weak fighting ability, making him easy to be taken down in close combat.

Then there's the common problem with most X-Men: they're too soft-hearted. They'd rather injure than kill, which weakens their own fighting power.

Just now, Hawking used the afterimage punch to create an afterimage that misled Cyclops, and then jumped up and knocked him unconscious.

If placed in a sufficiently open area with sufficient distance, and with laser eye output unrestricted, he might not necessarily win.

"."

Magneto was both impressed and speechless as he looked at Hawking carrying his laser eyes.

What's admirable is the fighting prowess Hawking displayed at such a young age; what's frustrating is that his plan to use his laser eyes to distract the three seems to have fallen through.

Continuing forward, in less than two minutes they saw the door to the brainwave enhancement room, guarded by a group of elite soldiers.

Magneto raised a finger, and the elite troops were slaughtered by their own weapons without any power to resist.

However, just as they were about to step forward, Storm, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, and Mystique all let out a scream, clutched their heads, and fell to the ground. Hawking immediately reacted and mimicked the same gesture.

Because he knew that this was Stryker's son, Master Illusion, who had manipulated Professor X to locate all mutants worldwide and begin using his powers to destroy their brains.

Only Magneto, wearing a helmet that isolates mental energy, is unaffected.

He raised both hands and used all his abilities to force the brainwave enhancement machine into a shutdown state.

The entire brainwave enhancement room was built from the blueprints Stryker obtained from his mind, so he naturally knew all the details.

Without the amplification from the brainwave enhancement machine, Professor X could no longer locate the mutants, and they were naturally safe.

However, the instant the brainwave enhancement machine was turned off, Magneto immediately controlled the door to the brainwave enhancement room to open, and then pulled Mystique inside.

Before Storm and the others could recover from Professor X's mental attack, they were about to close the door to the brainwave enhancement room.

The door to the brainwave enhancement chamber is also made of adamantium, making it impossible to break through by force. Moreover, a violent attack would affect the entire brainwave chamber, thereby indirectly killing Professor X.

So as long as he closes the gate, he can confidently have Mystique transform into Stryker and give the Master of Illusions the order to change the killing of all mutants to killing all humans.

"Triple Afterimage Fist!"

Just then, Hawking made his move.

He wasn't a mutant, so he was naturally unaffected by Professor X's mental attacks and his mind was perfectly clear. At this moment, he unleashed his afterimage punch, leaving a trail of afterimages, and his body rushed into the brainwave enhancement room before the door closed.

"court death!"

Sensing Hawking's sudden intrusion, which appeared to be an attack, Magneto instinctively activated his ability to defend himself. A coin shot out of his pocket and aimed directly at Hawking's forehead.

Although he admired Hawking, he would not hesitate to kill Hawking if he interfered with his plan to exterminate humanity.

However, the coin, like the shockwave from Laser Eye before, passed directly through Hawking's body.

"Snap!"

A sound of a neck being snapped came from behind. Magneto hurriedly turned around and looked back, his face immediately showing anger.

It turns out that Hawking had somehow appeared in front of the illusionist sitting in a wheelchair and then snapped his neck.

"That's all over now. Of course, if you still want to spar with me, I'm happy to oblige!"

Hawking loosened his grip on the illusionist's neck and laughed.
