Marvel: Randomly load a protagonist template

Chapter 20 S.H.I.E.L.D. Appears

While Stephen Hawking was in the Goku template state, he did want to fight Magneto, but saving people was more important than fighting, even for Goku's personality.

So instead of directly fighting Magneto to determine a winner, he used the Triple Imitation Fist to deceive Magneto and killed Master Illusion first.

Once the Master of Illusions is dead, no one can control Professor X, and mutants and humans will all be safe.

As for the Illusion Master, although his background is quite pitiful, he accidentally killed his mother because he couldn't control his abilities and was cruelly turned into an experimental subject by his father.

But since it had nothing to do with him anyway, all he could do was apologize.

He couldn't risk the lives of all humanity to gamble on his ability to defeat Magneto, especially his own, Wanda's, Oleg's, and Alina's lives.

"Great, very good, you're great!"

An enraged Magneto slowly rose to the surface, and the entire brainwave enhancement chamber began to tremble.

If it weren't for Hawking, he could have killed all of humanity on Earth in one fell swoop, making mutants the masters of the world and fulfilling his greatest wish in life.

"Eric, did you come to save me?"

Just then, Professor X's weak voice rang out.

With the death of the Master of Illusions, Professor X naturally broke free from control and regained his consciousness. He removed his brainwave-enhancing helmet, struggled to turn his wheelchair, and looked at Magneto, who had already risen to the surface.

Seeing this, Magneto took a deep breath and finally landed.

"Charles, what did you see in the illusion world? Was it still a fight for justice?"

Unfortunately, they didn't follow your rules and even wanted to kill all mutants!

Before the Master of Illusions died, Hawking and the people at the mutant school who tried to stop him from destroying humanity were enemies. But now that the Master of Illusions is dead, they are no longer enemies, or at least they shouldn't be enemies now.

Just like his relationship with Charles, both of them were fighting for the interests of mutants, but their ideologies and ways of doing things were different, which led them down two different paths.

But unless it comes to a decisive moment, like when they turned all the high-ranking government officials into mutants on Liberty Island, or when they were about to kill all humans, they will need each other's presence until then.

So now, in his mind, Hawking has become one of the important forces among mutants again, and should not be killed. Instead, he needs to be brought to his side as much as possible.

"Eric, people sometimes stumble and lose their way, but that doesn't mean they'll be lost forever. Sometimes all you need is someone to lend a hand."

If we work together, we can guide humanity in a better direction!

Despite Magneto's sarcasm, Professor X remained unperturbed and steadfast in his beliefs.

"You're still so naive, Charles. Humans will only destroy us. There has never been such a thing as coexistence between us; it's always a matter of life and death."

Magneto let out a cold snort.

Just as the two were about to start arguing, Hawking spoke up:

"How about we go outside and find a safe place to talk again?"

This base is not safe. If the dam breaks down, we'll all be finished.

As for the ideological debate between the two, Hawking was not interested. He was not a mutant, and there was no real right or wrong in such matters.

It all depends on which identity you prioritize.

If you think being a mutant is the most important thing, even more important than your family and friends, then kill all humans.

If you value family and friends more, then who cares if they are mutants? If someone wants to kill your friends and family, does that mean you shouldn't fight back just because they are mutants?

In a world like Marvel, arguing about these things is really unnecessary.

There are nations and nations, races and races, skin and skin, mutants and humans, humans and aliens, Earthlings and extraterrestrials. If you really want to categorize them, there are just too many possibilities.

On a higher level, Earth and the Sun were created by the Celestials, and mutants are merely products of the Celestials' genetic modification of humans; there is no inherent superiority or inferiority among them.

"Snap!"

Just then, the door to the brainwave enhancement room opened, and Storm, Wolverine, Cyclops, and others rushed in.

It turned out that Colossus and Wolverine had worked together to subdue Death Woman, brought Stryker with them, and used a password to open the door to the brainwave enhancement room.

As for Cyclops and Death Woman, due to the death of the Illusion Master, their brain fluids lost their control effect, and they returned to normal.

"Forget it, let's go!"

Seeing this, Magneto didn't linger any longer. He left a message, then turned around and left the brainwave enhancement room with Mystique. Since the plan had failed, it was time to go their separate ways.

"No, let them go."

Seeing that Cyclops and Storm were about to make a move, Professor X, who had regained some of his strength, quickly used telepathy to stop them.

This place is different from Liberty Island. If a fight really breaks out here, Magneto's power would cause the entire dam to explode. Then Magneto could fly away, and they would be in trouble.

Moreover, having learned from this experience, he hasn't entirely changed his mind. Perhaps keeping Magneto outside isn't entirely without its advantages.

After Magneto and Mystique left, Professor X turned to look at Hawking:

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to encounter this so soon after you arrived, and thank you for your help."

After Storm entered, he read their memories, learned the whole story, and learned about all the contributions Hawking made to protect the school and save mutants and humans.

He didn't want Hawking to join the fight so early; he just wanted him to focus on his studies and join the X-Men after graduation.

I never expected to encounter something like this so soon after starting school. Fortunately, I had Hawking's help. Otherwise, Magneto completing his plan would not have been the outcome I wanted.

"I told you, you won't regret the decision you made that day."

Hawking smiled.

However, Professor X's next words made him stop laughing.

"But I also want to say that you are not allowed to smoke or drink at school, at least not until you are an adult."

After saying that, he looked at Wolverine again:

"And you, if you give him a cigarette again next time, I'll definitely turn your mind into that of a six-year-old girl, and then I'll have Qin braid a few pretty little braids for you."

Upon hearing Professor X's warning, the others burst into laughter.

Finally, after glancing somewhat guiltily at the deceased Master of Imagination, Professor X led everyone out of the EEG enhancement chamber.

The Master of Fantasy was once his student, but even he couldn't make every student perfectly control their abilities.

Meanwhile, outside the base.

As Magneto and Mystique stepped out of the spillway, an arrow flew toward his head.

"Who?"

He used his ability to freeze the arrow, but before he could even observe it, the arrowhead suddenly exploded, causing him to stagger back several steps. He only managed to regain his footing with the help of the quick-thinking Mystique.
