Little Rascal and the others had seen Adam look like this on TV before, and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, it's Shadow Warrior!!! What brings him here?"

Adam laughed and said, "It's me, little ones! Hurry up and get on the plane, and hey Logan! When are you going to wake up?"

Chapter Forty-Nine: Target Canada!

When Adam and Phoenix arrived at Iceman Bobby's house, they found that a brief battle had taken place. Many police officers were lying on the ground, and most of their vehicles were totaled, reduced to piles of metal.

Storm was shocked upon seeing this and exclaimed, "What on earth happened here? This must have been done by Fireman! How could he do such a thing!"

After hearing this, Adam said, "The police attacked first. I saw Logan get shot in the forehead. They're probably terrified. Let's land. We don't have time to waste here."

Storm nodded after hearing this, and landed the plane directly on the clearing ground that Pyro had cleared. Then Adam was the first to run out.

Adam looked at the three students and said, "Alright, let's get on the plane quickly, we still have a lot to do."

The little rascal looked at Logan and asked, "How is he?"

Adam said irritably, "Logan, when are you going to stop sleeping?!"

Sure enough, Logan stood up, shook his head, and said, "Hey, you're here!"

Adam nodded and said, "Okay, let's hurry up, or we'll be playing hide-and-seek with the police." He then led everyone back to the fighter jet.

Once aboard the fighter jet, Logan saw Kurt and asked, "Who is he?"

Kurt, quite excited, began to introduce himself, saying, "My name is Kurt Wanager, and I work at the circus..." Before he could finish, Logan interrupted him.

"Alright, shut up!"

Kurt shrugged helplessly and sat quietly in his seat, which made Adam laugh. Then he explained to Logan the decision that Phoenix and the others had made.

After hearing this, Logan asked, "Are we really going to go find Magneto?"

Adam nodded and said, "That's right. There are some things we need him to tell us, and Magneto and Mystique are also very powerful and will be of help to us."

Logan said, "But we can't be sure if he'll help us."

Adam smiled and said, "No, it's confirmed that Magneto will help us. Athena has already located Magneto. Should I contact Magneto? Mystique seems to be searching for you online."

Phoenix nodded and said, "Okay, we don't know where to go right now, so it would be best to ask the professor where he might be!"

Adam said, "No problem!" He then pressed a button next to his ear and inputted his words directly into the computer Mystique was using through Athena.

--------------------------------------------------=======================

In a hotel in New York, Magneto was resting in bed. Although he was one of the most powerful mutants in the world, he was still an old man. Unless one had superhuman healing abilities like Logan or Sabretooth, people tend to get tired as they get older, especially since Magneto had just been released from prison.

Just then, Mystique suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?!?!"

Magneto opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong, Raven?"

Mystique said, "Someone hacked into my computer, claiming to be Batman, saying he's with the X-Men and needs to talk to us."

Magneto, after hearing this, said, "Heh, I didn't expect them to think of looking for us. It's probably the Shadow of War's idea. Alright, ask them what they want to know?"

Mystique nodded, typed rapidly on her keyboard, and said, "They need to know who took Professor X! Don't tell them!"

Magneto nodded and said, "Tell them, and see what they plan to do."

Mystique typed William Stryker's name upon hearing this and waited for his response. Soon after, Mystique said with some surprise, "This Shadow's technology is amazing. He has already found that Stryker is likely in Canada and asked if we want to participate in this project."

Magneto laughed and said, "Of course I'll participate! I'm just about to take this opportunity to deliver a heavy blow to humanity!"

Mystique asked after hearing this, "Oh? What are you planning to do?"

Magneto laughed and said, "Isn't Stryker's intention in taking the Brain Enhancer to kill us mutants through Charles? Hmph, when we find Charles, don't wake him up. Just reverse the Brain Enhancer's structure and let Charles kill all humans!"

Mystique exclaimed in surprise, "With Shadows and the others around, your plan has no chance of succeeding!"

Magneto said calmly, "I know my plan won't succeed. I just wanted to show humanity the power of us mutants. Of course, if the X-Men and Shadow Beginner can't stop Charles, it's no big deal. If humanity goes extinct, Earth will belong to us mutants."

Mystique paused for a moment, then asked, "So how should I reply to Shadow?"

Magneto said, "Tell them we'll meet up near XX in the Canadian Rockies, and then we'll look for Stryker's base together."

Mystique nodded after hearing this, entered the information, and quickly received a reply: "They agreed. Shadow told us to bring a cell phone so he can find our location."

Magneto said, "Reply to him, no problem!"

After replying with three words, Mystique realized that her computer had broken free of the other party's control. She said, "The other party has canceled the connection. Shall we set off now?"

Magneto nodded and said, "Let's go!" Then he left the hotel with Mystique.

==============================- ...

Meanwhile, aboard the fighter jet, Adam received a message from Athena saying, "Alright, Magneto has agreed to meet us in the Canadian Rockies."

After hearing this, Storm said, "Alright, everyone get ready, I'm going to speed up!" With that, she increased her speed and headed towards the Rocky Mountains.

Less than thirty minutes into the flight, the fighter jets spotted two American fighter jets rapidly approaching the X-Men's fighter jets and issued an order to land immediately.

Upon seeing this, Storm, with a cold expression, accelerated again, attempting to shake off the two US military fighter jets, but she failed.

After seeing it, Logan asked, "Doesn't this piece of junk have any weapons?"

Storm sneered, "We are our own best weapon!" Her eyes then began to glow white, clearly indicating that she was using her mutant powers.

The sky, which had been blue just moments before, was instantly covered by dark clouds. Countless tornadoes descended from above, creating a terrifying phenomenon. However, Storm didn't want to hurt anyone, so the tornadoes she created were just empty shells, devoid of any power.

Taking advantage of the dark clouds covering the sky, the X-Men's fighter jets quickly broke through the clouds and avoided the two American fighter jets.

After seeing this, the little rascals and the others cheered, "Ah, we've finally shaken them off!"

Adam shook his head after hearing this and said, "You're celebrating too soon!"

Sure enough, just as Adam finished speaking, an alarm sounded in the fighter jet. Storm immediately exclaimed, "Damn it! They've launched missiles at us! Jean, think of something!"

Phoenix tried desperately to control the missile in flight, but without success. In a moment of panic, a glint of fire flashed in her eyes, and she successfully regained control. The missile flew erratically for a while before exploding with a deafening roar.

Upon seeing this, Storm said, "Jane, there's one more missile!"

Phoenix was distracted by the unfamiliar power that had just erupted. By the time she came to her senses, it was too late to control the missile. Seeing this, Adam knew that he couldn't afford not to intervene.

Adam said to Storm, "Quick, open the back hatch! Everyone else, hold on to whatever you're holding onto, don't get thrown out."

Upon hearing this, Storm remembered Adam's abilities and quickly opened the rear hatch. Adam, seeing this, entered the rear hatch, aimed a heat ray at the missile, and it exploded with a bang.

=========================================================== ===

While Adam, Storm, and the others were rescuing the children trapped at Stryker's base, Phoenix and Magneto encountered Cyclops, who was under Stryker's control, and he suddenly launched an attack. Just as Cyclops's laser beam struck Magneto and Mystique, Phoenix used her telekinesis to knock them both down, saving their lives.

Magneto was about to speak when Phoenix said, "You guys go first, leave this to me!"

Magneto turned around and saw Cyclops under control. He exchanged a glance with Mystique and realized he was in luck.

Magneto said calmly, "Ah, it seems their relationship is in trouble."

Mystique smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Perhaps, I don't really understand this either." She and Magneto made a few sarcastic remarks about Phoenix before leaving with Magneto.

Phoenix watched Magneto and Mystique leave, then turned to Cyclops, whose face was sinister and wore an evil smile, and said, "Scott, it's me! Wake up!"

Unfortunately, Stryker's control serum was made from his own child's brain, making his abilities exceptionally powerful. Cyclops remained silent, staring at Phoenix and firing another laser beam.

Phoenix saw the laser beam coming and leaped to the right to avoid Cyclops's attack. With a flick of her right hand, a metal box flew from the side and crashed into Cyclops. However, the controlled Cyclops was not only faster but also more ruthless than usual. Therefore, seeing the metal box hurtling towards him, Cyclops didn't even consider dodging, and a laser beam destroyed the metal box.

Phoenix was surprised by the opponent's strong combat awareness, and since the opponent was her lover, she was slightly distracted. Cyclops saw Phoenix's dazed state and took the opportunity to fire another laser beam.

Phoenix had no time to dodge and had to use her telekinesis to block the laser beam. However, Cyclops' laser beam was not so easy to block, and recently Phoenix's telekinesis had been in a state of intermittent responsiveness. Therefore, blocking the laser beam like this was a very dangerous thing for Phoenix, because if her telekinesis was unresponsive for even a few seconds, Phoenix could lose her life.

Phoenix called out anxiously, "Scott? Wake up!"

Cyclops ignored him, and there was no scene like in romance novels where he would wake up because he sensed danger to his lover. Cyclops, who had become even more evil under the control of the drug, sneered and increased the output of the laser beam.

Cyclops intensified his laser beam, and Phoenix immediately felt the pressure increase. Her psychic barrier was on the verge of collapse. Just when Phoenix thought she might die, the unfamiliar yet powerful force that had appeared on the plane before suddenly surged from the depths of her soul. Orange-red sparks burned in Phoenix's eyes, and with a push of her hands, she deflected the laser beam fired by Cyclops back, followed by a loud explosion.

The explosive force of the collision between these two energies not only sent Phoenix and Cyclops flying, but also caused an unusually violent tremor, resulting in several cracks appearing on the dam wall, which had been in use for who knows how many years.

Adam, who had just sent the last child away, felt the violent tremor and knew he was in trouble. He immediately used his X-ray vision to look towards the dam. Sure enough, two large cracks had appeared on the dam wall, and they were widening due to the water pressure. In another hour or two, the dam would likely collapse.

Storm asked, "What's going on? Did you find something?"

Adam frowned and said, "Damn it! Although I don't know the cause of this tremor, I just saw cracks appearing on the dam wall. It's dangerous here. The lake water could rush in at any moment. I'll go out and try to seal those cracks first. You guys go support Jean. I don't trust Magneto!"

After hearing this, Storm said, "Okay, be careful. If you can't seal it off, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Adam laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't joke with my own life."

Kurt said very seriously, "You have done a lot of good deeds, God will bless you."

Knowing this was the other party's most sincere blessing, Adam smiled and said, "Thank you, Kurt. You guys take care too." After saying that, he left the base and reappeared on the dam.

Adam glanced at the water level, then felt the pressure on the dam beneath his feet, and sighed, "This is really bad. It seems that simply plugging the crack won't work. Well, so be it!" He then took a deep breath and exhaled a blast of icy, bone-chilling air.

He actually planned to freeze the entire area around the dam, which is no easy feat.

=============-------------------

Just as Adam was preparing to use Super Breathing to forcefully freeze the water near the dam, Magneto had already arrived at the room where the Cerebro was located in the base below the dam. After casually killing the nearby soldiers, he went into the room and changed the design of the Cerebro, turning it into a device capable of locking onto ordinary humans.

Magneto looked at his masterpiece, smiled slightly, and gestured to Mystique, who was waiting for him at the door. Mystique then transformed into Stryker's appearance, entered the room, and went to the side of Jason Stryker, Stryker's son, the illusionist who could create realistic illusions.

Mystique, speaking in Stryker's voice, whispered in Jason's ear, "Now, our plan has changed. Go find all the humans and kill them!"

Stryker's son, unable to control his powers at a young age, drove his mother to her death. Stryker harbored deep hatred for him and used him for mutant research, torturing him beyond recognition. He then used a fluid secreted from Stryker's brain that could control mutants to control his own son, turning him into a tool for his own purposes.

Therefore, after hearing Mystique's imitation voice, Jason immediately changed his orders, instructing Professor X, who was trapped in the fantasy world, to find all the humans and then kill them.

Seeing that Jason was obedient, Mystique stood up and nodded to Magneto. Magneto smiled, glanced one last time at his old friend Charles, and then turned and left.

Fortunately, with billions of people in the world, even Professor X using the Cerebro couldn't locate billions of people so quickly. Therefore, when Phoenix sensed something was wrong and led Storm and the others to the room where the Cerebro was located, the humans only experienced severe headaches and did not die immediately.

Laser Eyes stared at the tightly closed door and said, "What should we do now? Should I use my laser beam to open the door?"

Phoenix Girl shook her head and said, "That would kill the professor. Sigh, if only Shadow were here."

Laser Eyes frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Shadowbringer is here too? Where is he?" He clearly had a problem with Adam.
