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

Chapter 45: The Counterattack Begins

Time rewinds slightly.

"Well……"

Inside the academy, Professor X, who had fainted due to a special drug, regained consciousness in bed. Looking at the students surrounding him, he said, his mouth dry:

"What time is it now? What happened?"

The children began to chatter about what had happened, and Professor X raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He then asked the now-conscious Iceman to help him up.

It turns out that when he tried to use the machine to explore the mutant device, he was paralyzed by the toxin Mystique injected into the device.

There was a gap of about two hours between them. During this time, the X-Men, relying on the commotion Magneto had caused, went to find him again, while the professor was taken care of by the group of children.

Fortunately, one of these mutant students happened to have the ability to break down toxins, which made his recovery even faster, allowing him to recover within two hours.

I don't know what the situation is now...

"Children, push me over to the amplification device. The potion inside should have been changed by now."

"It's already been changed."

Petra, displaying the demeanor of an elder sister, responded and, together with the others, pushed the Professor X into the room. Professor X then put on the amplification device again and began his exploration.

Without any external interference, he quickly located the mutant device in a deep mountain cave near New York City.

Next, let's talk about the situation with the X-Men and Rogue...

Professor X's mental energy spread instantly, and he saw the X-Men still fighting Magneto. At the same time, he immediately located Rogue and established a mental connection with her.

The reason he didn't connect with Li Buying was because he didn't notice Li Buying's mental fluctuations, just like Magneto.

[Little rascal, how's it going over there?]

……

"The professor asked me to ask you what your plans are now. Can you still help me escape?"

The mischievous boy, pulled ashore by Li Buying, nodded repeatedly, repeating the professor's words to him. Li Buying said:

"Okay, Professor, you've found the location of the mutant device, haven't you? Let the X-Men destroy the device, and I can continue to hold them off."

But what he feared most was that the X-Men couldn't defeat Magneto, which would render his escape plan completely useless.

"The professor said he found it. He has sent other students over to sabotage the mutant device. The guards there are very weak now."

"That's good. If there's nothing else, I'll continue running away with you."

Upon hearing this, the mischievous boy quickly added, "Also, the professor wants to ask you some personal questions..."

"I don't know, I can't say, I can't explain."

Li Buying immediately indicated that she didn't want to talk to the professor, and the professor, who was mentally connected with the little rascal, had no choice but to hang up and issue commands to the people around him:

"Petra, Drake, and... the last one is Dane. You five students are the most talented in combat. This mission is entrusted to you. Be quick."

The five people whose names were called nodded slightly with serious expressions. There weren't many students here who were actually X-Men reserves, and these five were the most skilled in combat.

Especially Lorna Dane...

Professor X looked at the girl in the dress. She possessed almost the same abilities as his old friend, only weaker in terms of strength.

If Magneto and the others abandon Rogue and go back, she might become the key to victory or defeat.

The three whose names were called immediately left to prepare. Since it concerned the safety of the world, Xavier (Professor X) dared not be negligent. After resting for a while, he observed the situation of the three battlefields every 30 minutes.

……

Unaware that her sister was an X-Men reserve, Li Buying immediately tied her up with spider silk after Rogue hung up the call, and the two of them temporarily hid in the sewers.

"Sir, can't you loosen your grip on me for a while?"

"This makes it easier to escape."

Ignoring the little rascal's complaints, Li Buying wasn't prepared to have much interaction with him, since he wasn't his type anyway.

He opened his phone and searched for live streams. He quickly saw that some fearless people were live streaming, showing the battles between the X-Men and the Brotherhood.

It was the same residential area as before, but now it had become a mess and could hardly be recognized as a residential area.

Even though the people filming the live stream were far away, they could still see the intense storm, the distorted air, the laser beams shooting out from the ground from time to time, and countless flying metal objects.

The battle continued. About 10 minutes later, a figure suddenly appeared high in the sky, flying over the broadcaster's head—

Iron Man has arrived!

The triangle on its chest indicates that it has been upgraded to the Mark VI. Two white lasers are suddenly launched, and the battle scene is temporarily set.

It seemed that after a short conversation, the battle resumed, but the lasers never appeared again.

Magneto completely counters him...

Li Buying couldn't help but pat her head, somewhat speechless at the current situation.

About 30 minutes later, the storm-like things suddenly stopped. Li Buying immediately became alert, but his spider senses did not react, as if the target was not him.

Have they returned to base?

Li Buying breathed a sigh of relief. Her phone screen showed Iron Man's shrunken and tattered armor taking flight again, and a plane suddenly appearing and disappearing at incredible speed.

It seemed that Professor X had already sent people to sabotage the device, so they hurriedly gathered in that direction.

"Come on, I'll take you back to X Academy."

Li Buying wiped the sweat from his forehead. With the Red Devil around, he couldn't just relax like that; who knew when it might suddenly appear beside him.

……

Let's rewind a bit and change our perspective.

Outside a cave near New York City, X-Men reservists have launched an attack on the Brotherhood's temporary stronghold.

The main attackers were Petra and Lorna. Petra's mutant ability was to control and manipulate the earth and rocks, while Lorna's was... to manipulate metal.

Simply put, most of the elements in the normal element list that contain the radicals for stone and metal are covered by their abilities.

The cave in front of them was blocked by a metal door, making them the most suitable attackers from any angle.

"Aaaaaaah!" "Hey!"

Having stealthily made their way to the vicinity of the gate, they felt it was about time and immediately raised their hands to unleash their abilities, releasing their power with all their might!

The earth shook violently, and the gate was pulled out of the cave in an instant. The unprepared people inside the cave looked in astonishment at the masked children outside.

"Don't rush over there! The professor just wants us to draw their attention!"

Iceman stopped the few guys who wanted to rush forward, looked up at the gate but didn't intend to charge over. He was just waiting for the professor's signal. About four or five minutes later, the professor sent a message to retreat.

The five people left immediately, and at that moment Magneto and the others also instantly returned to their original positions through spatial teleportation.
