American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 123 Tripartite Talks

Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters.

The morning sun shone on Professor X as he felt peaceful and serene in his office, listening to the students' lively chatter on the playground, completely content with his current life.

However, the prophet's words still echoed in his ears, and he was now somewhat wavering, unsure whether he should heed the prophet's advice or even instructions, or stick to his original ideas and continue to befriend the country.

After so long, he had long since lost all faith in the great powers, and his continued adherence to them was merely a desperate grasp at a straw.

But what the prophet threw to him on the edge of the cliff was an iron chain, or at least it looked like an iron chain.

Just as Professor X was lost in thought, he suddenly became alert because a mechanical sound came from behind him.

"Hello, Professor X, shall we have a formal meeting?"

A mechanical voice came from behind. Xavier turned around and saw the weaver standing behind him, as usual, wearing a spider hoodie.

Faced with the weaver who suddenly appeared behind him, Professor X did not rashly use his psychic abilities, but instead asked, "Hello, weaver, what brings you here?"

"The Prophet has instructed me to take you and your old friend to an island with a special kind of panconsciousness to see where we can establish a nation. Are you ready? Magneto is already waiting for us there."

Upon hearing Li Buying's words, Professor X paused for a moment, then gripped his wheelchair tightly and nodded vigorously, as if he had made up his mind: "Alright, take me there."

Apparition!

Grabbing the wheelchair and releasing Apparition, Xavier felt his mind become hazy, and then he found himself on a deserted island.

He turned his head and saw a beautiful beach behind him, with waves constantly lapping the sand, and in front of him a dense forest with many tropical plants.

"You've come, Charles."

"Eric, it's been a long time."

Magneto, who was standing to the side, glanced warily at Li Buying, and then greeted Professor X.

The tension between the two sides was not as high as before when they met again. They looked at the island, and one of them knew more or less that it was an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean through his mental power and the other through his metal sense.

This uninhabited island is near Australia, and even if it were state-owned, it could be bought. Moreover, no one has ever set foot on it; at least Magneto didn't find any trace of metal.

"The scenery is indeed beautiful, but why this island?"

Regardless of whether the prophet's words were true or false, the suggestion to establish a mutant nation did give Magneto some ideas.

Even if he can't find that island, he can still go to the Middle East or Africa and establish himself as a king.

As for potential attacks from other countries, especially those major powers, we can only think about that later. In short, let's first take over a piece of territory.

"Of course there is. This island has a pan-consciousness. I had a mutant... and then a hacker used his translated language to directly create a corresponding walkie-talkie, which can communicate directly with the island."

Li Buying tossed the watch to the two men, who were still somewhat skeptical. Magneto, however, tentatively opened the watch's translation software and said, "Hello, Island."

The next second, the two who were concentrating suddenly felt a strange breeze rising around them, and the things on the island began to make sounds at a peculiar frequency.

Hello.

The two men's expressions changed slightly, especially Professor X—he truly sensed a massive yet extremely diffuse mental fluctuation emanating from the entire island!

"Yes, this island is alive. Plants and animals are all part of this pan-consciousness. Although it may not be of much use now, it will be in the future."

Li Buying turned around and said, "The prophet said he is not going to interfere with how you establish your nation; that is a problem you must solve yourselves. But we will help you resist when those great powers attack."

He snapped his fingers: "That means providing you with aid without interfering in your internal affairs, or at least not by force."

Looking at this strange island that exuded benevolent spiritual energy, Professor X closed his eyes and tried to communicate with the island directly through his mental perception. He quickly connected with the island, and when he opened his eyes again, he had made up his mind.

Before coming, he was more hesitant than Magneto; after coming, he was more determined than Magneto.

"Okay," Professor X agreed under the surprised gaze of his old friend, "I will bring my students here, but the main problem is how to bring them without attracting the attention of the United States, especially S.H.I.E.L.D.

Li Buying reassured them once again: "This is simple. S.H.I.E.L.D. will be completely destroyed because of Hydra soon. You can take advantage of the chaos to escape immediately."

After finishing her conversation with Professor X, Li Buying turned to look at Magneto:

"So what's your answer, Magneto? But I must warn you beforehand, as I said before, there are many core members in your team who are not fit to be high-ranking, and you know why yourself."

"Of course, it's not primarily based on the crime, but rather on the mental state."

Magneto's Brotherhood is comprised of diverse members, the most dangerous being mutants seeking revenge on society and looking for fun. It remains to be seen how Magneto will deal with them.

"There's still some time before that happens. You two should talk it over. The prophet said he will respect your choice."

The two former close friends and former enemies looked at each other in silence. Magneto spoke first: "Charles, we really should have a talk."

……

The rest can be discussed on the computer. Li Buying first sent Professor X back, and after sending Magneto back, she glanced at him briefly before leaving.

With the soul restoration reaching 60%, Li Buying's sealed memories have become almost completely clear. Through Ai Yi's pursuit of history, she understands the origin and end of the memory seal.

His own memories were sealed by the Master of Illusions, after the Master of Illusions joined the Brotherhood and before he was captured by his own father.

As for the reason for the seal, it lies with Lorna. According to Ai's information and speculation, she seems to be Magneto's daughter in this world.

When Li Buying's family went on vacation, they happened to encounter a plane crash. He first found Lorna, but ended up seeing Magneto and his group.

Instead of killing him, they sealed away his memories of the Brotherhood and left.

Therefore, after the seal was placed, Li Buying only remembered finding Lorna lying alone on the ground, and did not see Magneto or the others.

As for the crashed plane, he knew more or less the reason, which was probably closely related to Lorna's own abilities going berserk.

After learning the truth, Li Buying was also a little troubled, wondering how to explain it to Lorna. In the end, she decided to put it aside for the time being, not get involved in this mess, and let Magneto explain it to his daughter himself.
