Chapter 28 A Powerful Alliance

Meanwhile, on the X-fighter bound for New York.

Professor X looked at Magneto with a serious expression and said:

"I just read the director's memories. Humans are more powerful than we imagine, and the Earth is not so safe. Perhaps we should put some of our conflicts aside for now."

The moment Magneto shattered the brainwave jammer, he not only immobilized everyone at S.H.I.E.L.D., but also took the opportunity to read Nick Fury's memories and learn about the existence of the Skrulls and the Kree.

In the past, he would have been confident that he and the X-Men could protect the students at the school and gradually change humanity's prejudice against mutants, allowing humans and mutants to live in harmony.

After today's battle and having accessed Nick Fury's memories, he understood that it would be extremely difficult.

If it weren't for Hawking's sudden outburst, they would all have been captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. by now.

To be honest, he was very glad that he went to Sokovia and recruited Hawking as a student at the mutant school.

That's why he shared the information he knew with Magneto at this moment, hoping that Magneto could return and, like in the first battle, work with him to deal with the current situation, even if only temporarily.

"Charles, I can cooperate with you, but you must understand one thing: if given the chance, I will also wipe out humanity and create a world where only mutants exist."

If the whole world is made up of mutants, then I don't think those so-called aliens are anything special.

Magneto looked at Professor X with his usual arrogant expression.

He has always believed that mutants are the next step in human evolution, a higher life form than humans, or even gods. He thinks that mutants are not afraid of aliens that humans cannot deal with.

The prerequisite is to first eliminate those shameless humans who love infighting and backstabbing.

"When that time comes, I will stop you. Until then, we are fighting for the interests of mutants."

Professor X replied with a smile.

He didn't expect Magneto to be very cooperative; reaching a preliminary consensus would be enough.

"With Professor X and Magneto teaming up, it looks like they can have a few years of good development ahead of them."

Seeing Professor X and Magneto clasp hands together, Hawking couldn't help but nod in approval.

The combination of Magneto and Professor X is definitely greater than the sum of its parts; it's a true powerhouse alliance.

Professor X's strength lies in dealing with all living and thinking beings, while his weakness lies in cold machines and high-tech weapons.

Magneto, on the other hand, is the opposite. Since most high-tech weapons are made of metal, they are inevitably countered by Magneto.

"Hawking, I've decided I'll stop calling you 'Little Monkey' from now on. How about I call you 'Ape Demon'? Or 'King Kong' would be nice too!"

At that moment, Wolverine lit a cigar and patted Hawking on the shoulder with a smile.

Having seen the place where he was experimented on and tortured Stryker, he has regained most of his memories and resolved his inner conflicts.

So he decided to make Xavier's School of the Rising Sun his new home and truly join the X-Men, perhaps occasionally serving as a guest teacher at the school, teaching combat and history.

"Let's go with Ape Demon, or Ape God. 'Giant King Kong' sounds too corny!"

At this moment, Hawking, who was relaxed, no longer cared about the nickname and instead chatted with Wolverine.

The woman sitting behind the two looked at Wolverine chatting with Hawking in front of them with a very complicated expression.

Her real name is Yuriko Koyama. She is a martial artist from Osaka and a mutant with healing abilities.

Several years ago, Stryker found her and said that her father, who had disappeared for several years, had been killed by Wolverine, and showed her the video of Wolverine killing her father.

In order to seek revenge on Wolverine, she joined the new Weapon X modification program.

After the successful transformation, she did not embark on her revenge journey to find Wolverine as she had hoped. Instead, she was controlled by Stryker using the illusionist's brain fluid and turned into a killing machine.

During the years she was held captive, she also learned the real reason why her father was murdered.

It turns out that her scientist father was one of the scientists who was forcibly kidnapped from Osaka by Stryker to help complete the Weapon X program. The video of him dying at Wolverine's hands was actually an accidental killing by Wolverine when he was escaping the base.

Therefore, the real killer of her father should be Stryker.

"Hey beautiful, if you're looking for somewhere to go, you can come to X Academy. I think the professors would really welcome you!"

At this moment, Wolverine noticed Death Woman's gaze from behind and extended an invitation with a smile.

He felt sorry for accidentally killing the woman's father and was very grateful that the woman, after regaining consciousness, was willing to help them fight against the S.H.I.E.L.D. attack.

"That's right, the school will probably be short of teachers in the future."

At this point, Hawking nodded in agreement.

For him, the stronger the mutant school, the better, because that meant he, Wanda, and Pietro would be safer.

Forty minutes later, the Harry Potter template loading time ended. Hawking looked at the disappearing Firebolt and Invisibility Cloak beside him, and before closing his eyes, he couldn't help but think:

"Since we have fire arrows and invisibility cloaks, maybe we can also have the Somersault Cloud when loading the template next time. Let's try shouting it next time we load the template."

When Hawking fell into a coma due to template side effects, Professor X also looked over.

"Young Hawking, are you a mutant or not?"

He couldn't read Hawking's mind, nor could he sense the unique mutant brainwaves Hawking emitted, so he couldn't determine whether Hawking was a mutant.

Based on Hawking's demonstrated abilities and the tail that grows on his buttocks, it was previously assumed that he was likely a mutant.

But after tonight's battle, he's not so sure anymore.

Because Hawking demonstrated so many abilities: a powerful body and energy, the transformation into a great ape, and the summoning of weapons and clothing with special abilities, etc.

This was beyond his understanding of mutants; at least so far, he had never seen any mutant with so many abilities.

"Never mind, whether you are or not, you are a student of our school and a future X-Men."

In the end, Professor X felt relieved.

Actually, it's no longer that important to dwell on whether Stephen Hawking was a mutant.

Stephen Hawking attended a mutant school and fought to protect mutants, so he was part of that family.

Moreover, even if Hawking wasn't a mutant, his brother Pietro was 100% a mutant.

That's it.

"Charles, sometimes I really envy you. Your school has so many elites, but unfortunately you've wasted so many of them."

Magneto, standing next to Professor X, was also looking at Hawking.

Compared to the few and insignificant members of his fraternity, Charles's school had far too many talented mutants.

"Eric, this is a school. Not all students enjoy fighting. They should have the right to choose their own future."

Professor X explained with a smile.

Magneto shook his head after hearing this:

"But if they don't learn to fight, how can they protect themselves in the dangerous human society?"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. It'll be another two hours before we get to school. How about we play another game?"

Professor X took out a chess set from one of the drawers of the fighter jet.

Seeing this, Magneto took off his helmet and set it aside, and even showed a rare smile:

"I'll give in to you!"

No, you won't.

Professor X smiled too.

At this moment, it was as if they had returned to the past.
