"Yes, Master, I will let you know if there is any news. It's a pity I wasn't there, otherwise I should have been able to take control of these robots from the military," Athena said with some regret.
"The watchtower needs you, and who knows what other tricks the guys behind it have up their sleeves. Let's leave it at that for now, you're in charge there!" After Adam finished speaking, he hung up the phone and sent another signal to Storm, asking her to send the last batch of students to safety.
The battle on Academy Island continues unabated, with endless waves of Xiao Bing robots and mutants clashing. Because the Xiao Bing robots are tireless and possess a wide variety of mutant abilities, the battle is extremely difficult. Nearly one-fifth of the Academy teachers have already perished on the battlefield, causing Storm, a sentimental woman, to shed tears.
"Are these the last batch of students?" Adam asked, staring at Storm.
"Yes, these are the last students. Send them away. I want to stay here and fight!" Storm said, her face full of hatred.
"Are you crazy? The important thing now isn't to fight, but to immediately go to the watchtower ahead and reassure your students. Don't worry, the battle won't end so easily! Your students need your help!" After Adam finished speaking, he grabbed Storm's arm and sent her onto the teleportation array, then whispered a reminder: "There's a traitor among the students, be careful over there!"
Chapter 410 The Fierce Battle on the Academy Island (Part 2)
Storm was stunned when she heard the news that there was a traitor among the students. Clearly, she didn't want to believe that there could be a traitor among the students, but unfortunately, remembering how easily the traitor had breached the academy's protective barrier last time, Storm's face turned cold, and a flame seemed to burn in her eyes.
"Do you know who it is?" she said through gritted teeth.
"I don't know, but we might be able to find the traitor once we get to the watchtower, since that's my home turf." After Adam finished speaking, he instructed Athena to immediately begin teleporting. In a flash of light, Storm was also teleported away.
The students had already been teleported away, and the real battle was just beginning. Adam knew that these teachers wouldn't back down so easily, after all, they had been suppressed for the past few days. If it weren't for the comfort of these students and Professor X's encouragement, perhaps some of them would have already left the underground shelter to fight these Xiao Bing robots.
Sure enough, once the last group of students left, Jean Grey, the Phoenix, went all out. Unlike before, she no longer hesitated because she was afraid that her abilities would harm the students. One by one, the Xiao Bing robots were reduced to molecular form and then burned to ashes by a burst of flame.
Because these robots have acquired Logan's healing factor, and because they are made of a special metal, this strange regenerative ability has been enhanced. If they were simply separated from their opponent, they would probably return to normal in just a few minutes.
With a whoosh, Quicksilver arrived beside Adam. He had several injuries, but fortunately his legs were fine, so he could act as a liaison officer to relay messages.
"Have the students already left?" Quicksilver tossed his silver hair back and asked.
"Well, how are you?" Adam asked.
"It's alright. These Xiaobing robots are incredibly troublesome, and five even more powerful ones have just appeared. I came here to ask for help." Quicksilver grinned and said, though at that moment, his smile looked more like a grimace than a cry.
"A new model? How does the government have such advanced technological weapons?"
Adam looked into the distance and spotted five creatures that were completely different from the other Xiaobing robots. While the typical Xiaobing robots had strange, dark green metal shells and, although they had taken on humanoid forms, were not human-like at all, these newcomers, if not for their silver metal shells, would be completely unrecognizable as robots if they were dressed and walking down the street.
“I don’t know why the government has these things, but I do know that if you don’t hurry, Logan will be in danger. He was already seriously injured and hasn’t recovered yet, and now he’s in this battle. He’s almost at his breaking point,” Quicksilver said to Adam in a rapid-fire manner.
“Okay, I’ll go support Logan. You go and call Phoenix over, but be careful of her energy field. If you go in recklessly, you’ll turn back into a molecular state.” After Adam finished speaking, he disappeared with a whoosh because he saw that Logan was about to give up.
Quicksilver shrugged upon seeing this, took out a syringe from his pocket, sighed softly, and then resolutely injected it into his body. With a loud bang, Quicksilver disappeared, leaving only the ground and surrounding buildings in disarray due to the sonic boom.
------------------An underwater base--------
"General, Model X has arrived at the battlefield." A liaison officer immediately reported the latest news to General Trisk.
"How's the situation?" Trisk asked.
Due to signal interference, it wasn't just the watchtower that couldn't receive information; the military's micro-systems also couldn't receive accurate information. The information they could receive from those Xiaobing robots was all delayed, making it impossible to accurately control the entire battlefield. Fortunately, the Xiaobing robots were designed to deal with mutants with the X-gene, so he wasn't worried about other problems.
"Because of Superman, it seems the students at the academy have all been evacuated. According to our analysis, they should have evacuated into the watchtower," the liaison officer replied.
"Spatial teleportation technique, damn it!" Trisk cursed angrily, then asked, "Can you find the watchtower's location?"
"I'm sorry, General, we haven't known the location of the watchtower," the liaison officer said, shaking his head.
"Hmph, I knew we should have blown it up back then," Trisk scoffed.
"According to the robot's feedback, nearly half of Unit 1 has been destroyed, and only three of Unit 2 remain. There are now only fifteen Xiao Bing robots left on site." The liaison officer ignored Trisk's words and continued to report the information he had received.
"How could so many robots be destroyed?" Trixon was furious. These robots were not cheap to build. He had impulsively sent out all of Unit-01 and Unit-02, but he did not expect that so many of them would be destroyed in such a short time.
"It was caused by the mutant codenamed Phoenix. She can convert matter into molecular form, and her abilities seem to have no limitations, except for her inability to distinguish friend from foe." The liaison officer pushed up his glasses and continued, "Some were destroyed by Superman, and they seem to have found Unit-01's weakness."
"The time gap between ability conversions?" General Trisk asked coldly.
He was aware of this problem as well; both Unit 1 and Unit 2 had the same issue, differing only in timing. Fortunately, the five X-type robots did not have this limitation. Although Trisk was somewhat angry, he kept reassuring himself when he thought of the X-type Xiao Bing robots that their resistance was only temporary.
"What about the enemy's casualties?" Trisk asked.
"The students have been evacuated, though some were eliminated. As for the teachers, only about a third remain. We've checked the information against the database, and there are no errors," the liaison officer confirmed.
“One-third, heh, so there are less than a dozen left. Hmph, once these guys are dead, those students won’t be a threat.” Trisk nodded in satisfaction.
“However, it seems the teachers have already begun to retreat.” The liaison officer poured cold water on Triske’s hopes, saying, “As long as Superman exists, I don’t think we can completely eliminate these mutants.”
“Superman, Adam Stark, huh? Everyone says he’s Superman, but I’ll see if you really can’t be killed!” General Trisk’s face turned cold, and he snorted.
Just then, the door to the command room was pushed open, and a short man, well, actually a dwarf, wearing a white lab coat and mostly dressed as a researcher, rushed in. His eyes were filled with anger, and he roared at Triske, "You bastard, the X-type robots aren't even finished yet, and you've already deployed them to the battlefield."
"It's no big deal. Since you haven't been able to find its flaws, let's find them through a battle."
Triske paid almost no attention to the other person's tone. Of course, even if he did care, there was nothing he could do. After all, these Xiaobing robots were designed by this short but exceptionally intelligent guy in front of him. Of course, if it were his old temper, he might have shot such a person dead. But the other person was of equal status to him, and he was not the kind of researcher that he could kill at will.
"You bastard! Humph, a battle? Two machines have been destroyed in less than five minutes. Can you bear the consequences?" the Dwarf Research Institute roared.
"What? Didn't you say that Model X was a hundred times more powerful than Model 2?" Trisk asked.
"That's the expected data, you bastard! I've told you so many times, a half-finished product is always a pile of garbage. Although the results during the experiments were not bad, they were only not bad. They couldn't meet my expectations at all. And do you know how many Model X units I made in total? Only seven! You son of a bitch, you just sent them to the battlefield like that! Isn't that ruining all my hard work?!" The dwarf doctor was still furious. He said, "This isn't over yet. Hmph, if those mutants escape, I won't go to any military court. I'll kill you directly!"
Chapter 411 Speed Crystal
Both Dr. Triske and Dr. Dwarf knew that if they let these mutants escape, it wouldn't be so easy to catch them next time. In fact, finding them would be a problem, since humans were involved, and humans are a very troublesome group.
“That guy is really getting in the way,” Trisk said coldly.
You mean people?
“That’s right. If it weren’t for the sudden intervention of humans, we might have been able to wipe out the last remaining mutants in the world in one fell swoop,” General Trisk said with certainty.
“Then let him stop interfering.” Dr. Dwarf looked at Dr. Triske and said coldly, “I agree to activate a nuclear warhead. If possible, it will wipe out both humans and mutants. If not, it will force them to leave Academy Island.”
“They have the ability to teleport, so we can’t stop their retreat at all.” Trisk shook his head and said, “Besides, whether nuclear weapons are even effective against humans is still a question.”
"Order all the Xiaobing robots to use suicide attack mode and hold them off for ten minutes. Don't let any of them leave!" Dr. Dwarf pondered for a moment and said, "I think their spatial teleportation technique requires a location, which is why the people didn't leave from that spot before. As long as we keep the Xiaobing robots occupied with these mutants and prevent them from getting close to that location, I don't think they can leave this island."
“What are you planning to do?” Trisk asked.
"I've prepared a gift for your people, hehe, a very special gift!" A glint of madness flashed in the dwarf doctor's eyes as he said, "Mutants are a cancer on this world, and they must be removed!"
Meanwhile, above Academy Island, Adam was fighting several new types of Shooter robots, also known as the X-type. Compared to the previous two types, the X-type Shooter robots were more alien-like than humans, and their strength was incomparable to the previous two types. Fortunately, these five new Shooter robots were not in their complete form. Adam and Phoenix had already destroyed two of them, and now only three remained on the island. Adam was dealing with two by himself, Phoenix was dealing with one, and the rest were fighting against Unit-01 and Unit-02.
In fact, by this point in the battle, Adam had already ordered the teachers to retreat. After all, enough people had died. If they didn't retreat, the entire mutant society would be left with only so many children and a few adults, which would be too ironic and too tragic.
Boom! Adam was ambushed and knocked to the ground by an X-type Xiaobing robot. He somersaulted to avoid it and continued to attack X-1. Then he grabbed X-2's foot, which was attacking him, and ignoring the high-voltage electricity it released, he threw it hard at X-1. The two robots collided instantly and landed on the ground.
Of course, these robots have no senses whatsoever, so they feel no pain. And so, another battle began. Just then, Quicksilver appeared again not far from Adam.
"They...they seem to know where we're going and are doing everything they can to keep us away!" Quicksilver shouted.
"How are you?" Adam punched X-2 in the face, sending him flying, and then asked.
"Our problem is that this situation can't last long."
Thanks to the use of a special drug, most of his injuries have healed, and he is happier than before. However, this drug is harmful to the body, and if the antidote is not used soon, Quicksilver may die here.
Hearing Quicksilver's words, Adam sighed inwardly. He couldn't help but think of Barry Allen. If only he were here. However, speaking of Barry Allen, Adam suddenly remembered something. While dodging the attacks of the two Xiao Bing robots, he took out a small crystal from his spatial equipment.
This is a crystal about the size of an adult man's thumb, containing an energy that constantly flashes with golden lightning. It's one of the many snacks from the Galactus, which they said they secretly collected when they entered the realm of divine power with Barry Allen.
Quicksilver's speed still can't compare to that of Barry Allen, the Flash. After all, Barry Allen possesses divine power, one of the most incredible and unsolvable powers in another universe. It is said that after Barry Allen became the Flash, divine power appeared in this world, and then various malicious extremists appeared. Obviously, Quicksilver is not an extremist; he is just a mutant. Moreover, there is no such unsolvable power as divine power in this universe.
So, what is Adam doing taking out this crystal now? He is gambling, gambling that this divine power crystal can temporarily grant Quicksilver, who already possesses this mutant ability, divine power. He doesn't have high hopes for permanently gaining divine power; as long as he has divine power for a little while, Quicksilver will be able to rescue those teachers.
Of course, whether it would work in the end, Adam didn't know; he could only hope so.
"What is that?" Quicksilver looked at the crystal in Adam's hand, a strong desire suddenly welling up in his heart, but he didn't know why.
"Divine power, a powerful force."
Adam destroyed one of X-2's arms with a heat ray, then slammed X-2's head into the ground. With a powerful slam of his right hand, X-2's head and its internal processor and other components were reduced to fragments on the ground.
“I don’t know if you can obtain divine power, but I suggest you give it a try.” Adam breathed a sigh of relief and said, “If you can really obtain divine power, your speed will be infinitely close to that of light.”
"Infinitely close to light? How is that possible?" Quicksilver asked incredulously.
Keep in mind that Quicksilver's fastest speed is only four times the speed of sound; he hadn't even considered what light could achieve.
“Theoretically, that’s how it works, but it should give you a faster speed. Then you can see them being sent to the teleportation point one by one. We should get out of here!” Adam handed the crystal to Quicksilver and said.
After receiving the crystal, Quicksilver asked, "How do I use this?"
Adam, who was preparing to fight X-1, paused for a moment and said somewhat awkwardly, "Um, if it were Janata, well, my daughter, she would eat her directly, but I don't think you have such good teeth."
"..." Quicksilver looked at Adam speechlessly. He didn't even know how to use it, yet he described this thing as so powerful. Was he really that naive?
"Crush it and press it on yourself, it should work, but we can only hope it really works." Adam shrugged and scurried away. After all, there was still an X-1 watching him intently, and if he didn't hurry, that thing might kill other mutants first.
"Just crush it?" Quicksilver muttered to himself, holding the crystal in his hand, his desire growing stronger. "Divine power... what is it that attracts me so strongly?"
As he spoke, Quicksilver swallowed the antidote to the gene drug he had just received, then shattered the crystal in his hand. With a crack, the crystal broke, and almost instinctively, Quicksilver pressed the crystal fragments and the energy inside them against his chest.
What was originally just a small ball of golden lightning energy suddenly burst out and enveloped Quicksilver completely. Quicksilver felt as if he had been struck by a powerful bolt of lightning, followed by an unprecedented pain, which made the big boy, who always had a smile on his face, shout out loud.
"Ah~~~~~~~~~~" Golden lightning flashed continuously on Quicksilver's body, constantly transforming it. He gradually lost feeling for his body, and then he seemed to see a power he had never felt before, a very strange sensation.
"What exactly is this feeling?" Quicksilver clenched his hands, seemingly without any change, but deep down he had a feeling that his speed had actually surpassed any previous speed.
"Could this be the divine power Adam spoke of?" Quicksilver murmured, raising his head slightly to find the world had transformed before his eyes, with even a few places appearing different.
It gave him a feeling that it would break as soon as it was released. He didn't know what this meant, but a voice in his heart told him that he had gained the approval of the gods and could run freely.
*Bilibili!!* Quicksilver squinted, golden lightning flashing in his eyes. A slight smile played on his lips as he pulled his goggles back up, let out a cheer, and vanished in a bolt of lightning. 8
Chapter 412 Mushroom Cloud Crisis
Quicksilver kept running, his speed increasing, and this extreme speed gave him an unprecedented sense of excitement. Fortunately, he didn't forget his mission, continuing to run across the battlefield to find the teachers who were about to be defeated and pull them away from the fighting.
As for teleportation, Adam needs to contact Athena personally. Therefore, Quicksilver's current task is to temporarily rescue the teachers who need help and then return to Adam. Because his speed is much faster than before, and his divine power field can protect those he touches from extreme harm, Quicksilver has unleashed his full speed.
If you look at the battlefield from a high vantage point, you can see a golden flash constantly flashing across the entire battlefield. Wherever the flash goes, one or two people will disappear, making it impossible for these Xiaobing robots to kill their targets.
In the distance, Adam, who was fighting X-1, also noticed the golden lightning that Quicksilver had transformed into. While he breathed a slight sigh of relief, he was also very worried. He didn't know if what he had done was the right thing to do.
Divine power is not simply about granting a speed infinitely close to that of light; it can do far more than that. It can traverse time, parallel universes, and even other universes. As long as the ultimate being can vibrate their body to reach the same frequency, they can go to any world. If this power were in the hands of someone who doesn't know their place, it would bring immense disaster to the entire world.
Even Barry Allen, known as the conscience of the Justice League, did many things he regretted when he first gained his powers. In one moment of despair, he even traveled back to the moment of his mother's death, changing the entire world. At this point, some might ask, if he has the power to change the past, why can't he change it? What's the use of having such power?
