Natasha Romanov, the Black Widow, is the sole survivor of Hydra's Black Widow program. She is a former Soviet agent, a former senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and now a member of the Avengers. She is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and carries a variety of gadgets.
Colonel Rhodes, the Iron Patriot and Tony's best friend, was given a downgraded version of the Iron Man suit by Tony to appease the US government. The US government then re-installed the weapon system on him.
Vision, well, the product of a mysterious fusion of Jarvis and Ultron, has an Infinity Stone on his forehead and possesses very powerful abilities.
King T'Challa, the Black Panther, is the new king of Wakanda. He suspects that his father was killed by Bucky and joins Tony's team in order to seek revenge.
Johnny Devil, the Ghost Rider, is a ruthless individual who made a pact with a demon and then outmaneuvered it. He's ruthless not only to his enemies but also to himself. For some unknown reason, he gained the ability to transform into the Ghost Rider during the day, although most of his abilities are weakened, he's still far more powerful than most superheroes.
The last one, well, he hasn't arrived yet, but let's just give away a spoiler, since spoilers are super fun. The last person is Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange, a sorcerer who recently became a Guardian Sorcerer. He's a bit different from traditional sorcerers, but his abilities are still quite impressive.
Tony's team consists of only this many people, so let's take a look at Captain America's team.
First of all, the core main character is Captain America, Steve Rogers, a patriotic teenager during World War II who participated in experiments and gained superhuman abilities. He has outstanding physical abilities and all other skills, especially his sense of justice.
Falcon, whose name doesn't matter, is currently positioned as Captain America's henchman. He possesses an unscientific flight device and seems to be quite capable.
Bucky, the Winter Soldier—his real name is definitely not Bucky, but let's call him that for now—is one of the super soldiers modified by Hydra. He has a metal arm installed in one hand and is quite strong.
Scarlet Witch Wanda Maxim, a clone of Magneto's daughter, possesses chaos magic that warps reality, but its strength fluctuates due to her excessive fear of her own abilities.
Ant-Man 2, a new superhero capable of shrinking and growing to gigantic size, has yet to begin his heroic deeds, but his future is undoubtedly bright.
Now, let's give a grand introduction to the two superheroes who are making cameo appearances from another world. Well, as for why they came from another world, it's because Batman discovered a huge crisis hidden in the world where Adam exists. That is, Adam is incredibly powerful but has nothing to restrain him. In order to prevent Adam from eventually becoming like Superman in their world, Batman specially asked Flash to contact Captain America and send him a communicator.
Unexpectedly, Captain America's first contact wasn't because Adam lost control, but because the world's superheroes were caught in a web of mutual distrust, and the world was in crisis. To protect the world, Captain America requested Batman's assistance. Feng Huanling apologized for this chapter being a bit padded; she was out and about and lost track of time, so the update was rushed.
belated leave request
If you've been following the news, you'll know that I just had a huge snowfall here—a really heavy one. So much so that the next day, when people went out and found their cars missing, they almost had to call the police; they were buried under the snow! Well, actually, it has nothing to do with me, because writing doesn't require a car, right? But unfortunately, I had to go out that day, and then I caught a cold. After that, all sorts of messy aftereffects and other ailments followed, so I spent several days at home with a headache and fever, taking medicine and sleeping—that was my daily routine. Yeah, that's how I finally feel today, but only a little bit. It's a relief that I got sick; my body got a good rest. Yeah, that's all for now. I'll update again tomorrow depending on how I feel. I wanted to update today, but my mind was blank, my nose was stuffy, and my throat was sore—it was really uncomfortable. After a nap, I wrote this sick leave note after a week of taking care of myself. Yeah, I'm so sorry!

Chapter 403 Split Nine
We all know that in the universe Adam visited, the Justice League was practically crippled; aside from the Flash and Batman, there wasn't much left. So you're probably all curious about who Bruce Wayne sent, right? Don't worry, I'll give you the answer later.
The first was a beautiful black woman dressed in a magician's costume. Her figure was undeniably stunning, but she had no smile on her face, appearing to be an icy beauty. She was the first person Batman sent to provide support; a highly skilled sorceress named Zatanna, a genius proficient in various forms of magic.
The second person, well, he has a face that's incredibly irritating, brown hair, a bit of stubble, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and a khaki trench coat draped over his shoulders. He stands in the middle of the group looking impatient. He's the detective, psychic, and magician who's a total liability to his teammates, famous throughout the DC universe. Of course, he only admits to being a detective. He's the infamous Constantine, oh, sorry, I mean Constantine!
Originally, Constantine didn't intend to get involved in something so unchallenging, but Batman won the bet so easily, so he had no choice but to join the fight. Well, introductions complete, let's begin!
Seven against seven, the number of players on both sides is surprisingly the same.
Of course, Tony was quite surprised by this. In this era where superheroes have become bizarre figures hated by everyone, it is already very difficult to find a superhero to help. Unexpectedly, Captain America found two people all at once, and they were complete strangers. Tony and the others had no clue about their abilities or where they came from. It can be said that this battle seemed unfair from the very beginning.
Tony, no longer bothered to hide it from Doctor Strange, called out to him through the communicator, urging him to come help immediately. Then, with a shout, he charged towards Captain America. Iron Patriot followed closely behind, and Falcon, seeing this, snorted and took flight as well, attacking the two.
Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, and Natasha, the Black Widow, resumed their ongoing battle. Black Panther attempted to attack Bucky but was stopped by Captain America. Vision, on the other hand, was being watched by Zatanna. Zatanna, a sorceress, couldn't resist the urge to dismantle Vision and study him thoroughly. Hmm, isn't that a bit too violent?
As for Doctor Strange, who had just appeared, before he could even begin his self-introduction, he saw Wanda slowly walking towards him, her hands gathering crimson, mist-like energy. Sensing that the energy in her hands was similar to that of their Guardian Sorcerers, Doctor Strange immediately pulled Wanda into the Mirror Dimension, deciding to properly train... oops, to give her a good fight.
Constantine, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked at Johnny across from him and asked, "Are you also a superhero? I get the feeling you have a demonic aura about you."
"The scent of demons, that's because I've mastered the power of demons!" Johnny Blaze roared, his entire body instantly bursting into flames and transforming into a flaming skull clad in a stylish leather outfit—Ghost Rider.
Constantine stared at the Ghost Rider with a poker face, and chuckled, "Looks like I've met a fellow demon. But it's a pity, your soul has already been sold to a demon, so in my eyes, you can actually be considered a demon as well. And I just happen to be quite good at dealing with demons."
Ghost Rider paused for a moment after hearing this, and asked, "Who exactly are you?" He sensed that the demon residing within him seemed to be filled with hatred and murderous intent towards the person in front of him, almost causing him to be controlled and taken over by the other party.
"Me? Heh, it's the one inside you that's being disobedient. Don't worry, with me here, even if he shows up, you don't need to worry, because I am Constantine, John Constantine, you bastard!" Constantine said with disdain. Of course, his disdain was not directed at Ghost Rider himself, but at the demon residing inside Ghost Rider.
"John Constantine? Looks like you're quite famous in Hell." Ghost Rider said calmly, sensing the demon within him growing even more agitated.
“Ah, that’s right, Old L and I are friends. He’s been waiting for me to come back from Hell.” Constantine said nonchalantly, “Speaking of which, there are some fun things to do in this world, aren’t there? Well, I just happened to meet a vengeful spirit that I’ve heard of but never seen.”
Ghost Rider was no longer interested in wasting time with words. The demon inside him was causing him great annoyance, so he decided to punish the guy named Constantine. Although it sounded like the other guy was also fighting demons, he didn't care about that now. This was just a contest, well, at least for the two of them.
Ghost Rider yanked the chains binding him off and swung them at Constantine. Constantine easily dodged the attack, then clasped his hands together in front of his chest, sending a bolt of lightning crackling towards Ghost Rider.
Meanwhile, the battle between Vision and Zatanna was also very intense. Because Vision could switch freely between nothingness and reality, some attacks were completely ineffective against him. Of course, his attacks were also blocked by Zatanna using various spells.
“I don’t think we should continue fighting like this. The side you’re supporting is wrong.” Vision’s voice was very calm and magnetic. His purpose in coming here was to take Wanda away, not to get involved in the civil war between humans.
He is a special life form, possessing a portion of the core code of both Jarvis and Ultron. Therefore, although he is influenced by Jarvis and Ultron, he does not want to destroy the world or become Tony Stark's personal assistant. He has his own unique way of thinking.
“Sorry, I’m here to stop you from causing any more trouble.” Zatanna shrugged and said, “Besides, I’m quite interested in you now. What kind of life form are you? Are you magical or scientific?”
“I guess it should be considered the scientific side.” Vision thought for a moment and understood the meaning of the terms “scientific side” and “magical side”. He said, “Please don’t interfere in this matter. I haven’t found any information about you or that John Constantine in the data of this world. Based on the last time humans traveled through space, you might come from another universe.”
"What a brilliant way of thinking, what incredible sensitivity! I'm becoming more and more interested in you." Zatanna smiled slightly and immediately began chanting a spell to launch a new attack. Vision, seeing this, could only smile wryly and continue fighting Zatanna.
Inside the mirrored space, a battle was also taking place. Well, it's more accurate to call it a battle than a battle. Doctor Strange, seeing Wanda's talent and the chaos magic she used, and knowing a little about Wanda and the Avengers, was deliberately training her.
"You can't do this. You can't be afraid of your own power. You have to understand that it's only a part of you, not the whole. You can't let this power control you," Doctor Strange reminded her, unable to bear seeing the resistance and fear Wanda showed every time she used magic.
Wanda was taken aback and asked, "What?"
Clearly, she hadn't expected that Doctor Strange didn't want to fight her, but rather wanted to teach her about magic.
"Don't worry, this is a mirror space. No one but us will notice anything here," Doctor Strange said with a smile.
"I don't understand what you're doing?" Wanda was, after all, a newborn. Yes, that's right, a newborn. Although she had a complete set of memories, they were just memories implanted to help her get a basic understanding of the world. They weren't Wanda's personal experiences. Therefore, in some things, she was no different from some children.
"Hehe, I just want you to have complete control over your abilities and live bravely. When Iron Man found me and asked me to participate in this operation, I carefully reviewed your information and found that you have a very special talent, well, I mean magical talent. So, in order to protect the Earth, I agreed to Iron Man's request," Doctor Strange laughed. "And today I realize how correct my decision was. I think you can definitely become a guardian sorcerer. If you are willing to control your abilities, we can continue. Well, don't worry, we can keep an eye on things outside from here. If Captain America has any problems, I can let you leave temporarily."
"You want to help me?" Wanda asked, somewhat puzzled. "Can I leave to help Captain America?"
“That’s right, I’m willing to help you. Of course, we’ll discuss the specific reasons when you have full control of your powers. So, how about giving it a try?” Doctor Strange looked at Wanda with an expression of a friendly, approachable demeanor, as if he were taking her to see goldfish.
Chapter 404 Xiao Bing Robot VS Superman (Part 1)
Moving forward 12 hours, to when Adam had just arrived at Xavier's Island, a piercing alarm was blaring from a massive underwater base somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
"Warning, warning, code name xo1+1, warning, warning..."
An elderly man in military uniform, his head completely white, stood in front of a giant screen, his brow furrowed as he stared at the words that suddenly appeared on it. He had finally managed to gather everyone from Xavier's School together, and was just about to launch a full-scale attack when this unexpected turn of events occurred.
"It's a message from Hidden Fox. What about Xiao Bing's robot? Has it detected anything?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry, General, the Xiao Bing robot has not detected any enemy images," a staff member replied immediately.
"Hidden Fox wouldn't lie to us. Investigate! Immediately! I need to know who went in there!" The old man stared at the screen with fiery eyes, his voice cold as he said, "This plan absolutely cannot go wrong!"
"Yes, I will immediately dispatch more Xiaobing robots to investigate." The soldier saluted and said.
"I don't need to know the process, I just want to know the result. If we hadn't had an inside man this time, we would never have known they had outside help. Humph." The old general seemed to have an unusual hatred for mutants, gritting his teeth as he said, "This time, we must kill all these freaks!"
"General, could you perhaps have our informant tell us who these people are?" a man in a colonel's uniform asked after a moment's thought.
“No, he can’t be exposed. Now is not the time to expose him.” The old general shook his head and said, “Our plan is about to come to an end. I don’t want to add to the trouble. Adding Manfan means that our mission is likely to run into problems.”
"Understood, I will continue to keep an eye on that area," the colonel nodded slightly and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute," the elderly general stopped the colonel and asked, "How many Xiao Bing robots are still in the base right now?"
"It seems there are still 2 fully operational ones left, um, I'm talking about the latest upgraded ones, and there are also some early versions of the Xiaobing robots." Upon hearing the general's words, the colonel immediately replied, "As for the skies above X Academy Island, there are already 3 of the latest generation Xiaobing robots on standby."
"Send them over there too, along with the Ultron robots we've repaired. Tomorrow will be a turning point in history, the anniversary of these freaks' complete disappearance from Earth!" The old general's voice was filled with murderous intent and madness.
"Yes, General!" The colonel immediately saluted, and then the sergeant left to arrange work.
"Charles, after tonight, these mutants you risked your life to save will disappear from the world, hahahaha, in the end I won, I, Stryker, won, hahahahaha!" The old man, well, that is, General Stryker, laughed heartily with great satisfaction.
He and Charles were old acquaintances. As someone who vehemently hated mutants, the appearance of a freak in his own family, coupled with the suicide of his beloved wife due to his powers going out of control, transformed Stryker from a simple dislike of mutants into a deep-seated hatred—a hatred so intense it was a desire to exterminate their entire race. Fueled by this hatred, he relentlessly climbed the ranks, even resorting to using the powers of mutants he disliked to pave his way. Unfortunately, each attempt was thwarted by the X-Men from the Academy or the Brotherhood of Mutants, ultimately drawing that guy into the mess and causing him to lose everything and become a prisoner.
Just when Stryker was in utter despair, the Pentagon suddenly contacted him again, saying they were going to carry out a very secret operation, an operation called Project Earth Virus, targeting all humans, even superheroes.
Upon hearing the name of the plan, Stryker agreed to the other party's request and reassembled his team. After more than a year of infiltration, with the help of another doctor who almost hated mutants, they finally created the mutant nemesis—the Xiao Bing robot. After a small test, they immediately and secretly arrested the shapeshifter and upgraded the Xiao Bing robot's system again, eventually turning it into the fully free-evolving robot it is today.
The moment the X-Men robot was born, Stryker felt that his life's dream was finally about to be fulfilled. He consulted his superiors and created a detailed plan to target mutants. Then, step by step, without attracting the attention of any forces, he eliminated most of the unorganized mutants in the world. As for the remaining ones, he felt that as long as he destroyed the X-Men, everything would be solved.
Of course, Adam and the mutants on Children's Island knew nothing about any of this. They never even considered that there might be a traitor within their ranks. After all, these people had all grown up in the academy, so no one would suspect anything, and certainly no one would guess that Stryker had taken precautions early on and planted a spy within Xavier's School of the Arts.
At this moment, Adam and Logan were discussing how to evacuate all the students, since this so-called shelter was only temporary and they couldn't live there forever.
"If Christine were still here, a teleportation array would have been enough," Logan sighed.
"What about the teleportation room in the watchtower? Although it's impossible to teleport all at once, it should be possible to teleport in batches, right?" Phoenix asked Adam.
“The watchtower is fine, but the problem is that the current watchtower seems to be blocked by something, making it impossible to locate accurately. That could cause a big problem.” Adam thought for a moment and said, “Actually, the watchtower’s AI has the location coordinates of the Academy Island. If we use that, we can leave the island in batches. However, that would require us to go out from here to the small square in front of the classroom building.”
“The island is teeming with those Xiao Bing robots, there must be at least twenty or thirty of them. Don’t underestimate them just because they’re few in number. The problem is that each of those robots is at the level three or four of a mutant. We have no chance of winning if we go out,” Storm said, shaking her head after hearing Adam’s words.
“In that case, I’ll go and test these robots’ methods first.” Adam looked at everyone and said, “Knowing yourself and your enemy is the only way to have any hope of winning.”
Logan listened and said, "Then be careful. By the way, once you get outside, the professor will find out where those guys are hiding. These guys have absorbed the blood of countless mutant brothers, and their mutant abilities are just too numerous and bizarre."
"Don't worry, even if I can't beat them, I can outrun them, haha." Adam laughed, then said, "You should all rest and conserve your energy. There might be a fierce battle tomorrow."
"Be careful." Storm was very grateful for Adam's words. "Thank you for coming to find us as soon as you arrived on Earth."
"Hey, stop talking like that. We're friends." Adam waved his hand dismissively, then left the house with Logan, returning to the exit leading to the waterway. He said goodbye to Logan and left.
Because this exit was quite a distance from X-Academy Island, Adam heard Athena's voice as soon as he came out of the pipe.
"Master, communication is finally restored? I was so worried because I couldn't contact you."
"Academy Island is surrounded by a powerful enemy. They've used a strong magnetic field to interfere with all communication signals. And, Professor is dead," Adam said with a sigh.
"Ah, Professor X is dead? Someone actually managed to kill him?" Athena asked in surprise.
"He forcibly used his abilities to fight against a robot named Xiao Bing, which caused his body to collapse. Fortunately, his brain was protected. If the professor is willing, he should be able to transfer his brainwaves to a newborn baby or those in a vegetative state and bring them back to life." Adam explained, "In the year we've been gone, the Earth has changed too fast. I always feel there's a conspiracy."
"What should Master do?" Athena asked.
“I’ll spar with Xiao Bing first. Oh, and get the teleportation room ready. Set the location to the fixed spot on Academy Island. The signal might drop again after I go in, so I’ll send a magic signal. Pay attention, and then teleport immediately without hesitation. Of course, the teleportation point should be near the safe house, so you don’t have to worry about any problems,” Adam said immediately.
Chapter 405 Xiao Bing Robot VS Superman (Part 2)
After Adam and Athena finished their conversation, they immediately went to the top of Academy Island, no longer concealing their identities and revealing themselves directly. Meanwhile, Stryker, far away at the underwater base, already knew who had come to support the mutants.
"How come it's Superman?" a soldier exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, hasn’t he been missing for a long time?” another soldier added.
