Marvel's Death Merchant

“As a mutant, I’ve lost what I should have, but I believe I will get it back, Charles. I’m doing this for the future of all mutants.” Charles turned to Charles and said seriously.

Charles said nothing, but smiled and continued to say to Magneto, "Dry your eyes, Eric. I believe the future of mutants can only be peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans. There's no need to make excuses for what you've done."

“You don’t know why I did all this…” Magneto asked Charles with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"To me, you took away everything that was most important to me," Charles said weakly to Magneto. Actually, Charles's tone reflected his personality. It wasn't Magneto who made Mystique leave him; Mystique and Charles's feelings for each other were deeper. It was just that Charles's personality was too weak, ultimately leading to Mystique leaving him.

Charles's dejected and weak words left Magneto somewhat helpless. Then, as if encouraging him, Magneto said, "Perhaps you should strive more actively for this, instead of complaining here. The mistake might be your fault." Magneto shook his head and explained to Charles.

"You want to fight? Eric, I'll give you a quick death." Charles suddenly erupted in a fit of rage, deeply offended by Magneto's words.

Seeing that a full-blown fight was about to break out, Alex and Wolverine were just about to stop it when Magneto stopped them. Magneto also wanted to see what he could do after losing his superpowers.

“You betrayed me! You took her away and sold me out!” Charles grabbed Magneto by the collar and said angrily. Charles’s appearance made Magneto’s expression also turn sour. Then Magneto slowly said, “Angel, Red Devil, Emma, ​​our mutant brothers and sisters… they are all dead. Captured, experimented on, slaughtered.”

Magneto's eyes blazed with fury, and the aircraft's operating system temporarily malfunctioned. Alex watched this scene without saying a word. Although Magneto had told him that these were experiments conducted by clones, Alex remained silent. He also deeply disliked Charles's irresponsible words.

"Where were you then, Charles? We should have been protecting them. Where were you when your brothers and sisters needed you? Hiding away. You and Hank both think you're normal people, but you're not." Magneto shook his head, unleashing all his anger at Charles. Alex, having prepared, had already grabbed the table, while Charles was thrown around by the gravitational force of the tilting plane.

"You betrayed all of us mutants!" Magneto roared, then stopped releasing his magnetic field to stabilize the plane, otherwise it could crash and kill everyone. Besides Charles and the other mutants, his supporter Alex was also present, so Magneto wouldn't do that.

"You're still the same bastard. I bet you two will be best buddies in the future. Thanks, Alex." As Charles walked into the plane, Alex tossed Wolverine a cigar, and Wolverine began to make sarcastic remarks to Magneto.

“I spent a long time trying to defeat you,” Wolverine recalled saying to Magneto.

"So, did you succeed?" Eric, who had just vented his anger, was in a much better mood. Hearing Wolverine say this, Eric asked in confusion.

“No, not even once. Besides, you and I are both the last survivors.” Wolverine took a deep breath and answered solemnly.

Then, the group went to Paris as planned to stop Mystique's assassination attempt on Bolivar Trask. Tang Tian was aware of the situation there, of course. He had already handed the matter over to the Watchmen. Tang Tian himself had sensed the parallel world of Sentinel Apocalypse. While the current Sentinel prototype was definitely not as powerful as the future Sentinels, he had already sent the Watchmen to plunder them. Tang Tian's current goal was to go to the parallel world and plunder the future Sentinel robots; everything else was no longer important.

Retrieving the Sentinel robots from Wolverine's original world is extremely important. The Sentinels of the future far surpass any robot in any other movie, making them a necessary target. (To be continued...)

Chapter 102 Plundering the Sentinels

Just like the plot of the movie *X-Men: Days of Future Past*, Tang Tian first sent Mystique to the bar in Paris to find the person who supported the Sentinel Project—the Vietnamese monkey—and then had Mystique kill him. The Sentinel robots could only be funded by Tang Tian alone. Although Tang Tian was about to go to the place where Wolverine came from to plunder the Sentinel robots, the prototype Sentinel robots were still good—at least they were mechanical products.

At the Hotel Royal in Paris, diplomats from around the world were gathered; today was truly a historic day. The United States officially announced the end of its involvement in the Vietnam War. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and other members of the Vietnamese government were also present. Outside a conference room at the Hotel Royal, an Asian man reminded Bolivar Trask...

“My other government agents have given you an hour for the meeting, so if you can convince those high-ranking officials, the research on the Sentinels will be much faster,” Tang Tian said to Trask as they walked, seemingly genuinely concerned about getting the Sentinel robots out of the way quickly.

"Of course, we should thank Mr. Donas the most for his help. Otherwise, how could those guys in the Department of Defense have agreed to let Project Sentinel proceed?" Dr. Trask nodded and thanked Tang Tian.

“Sir, the hotel has prepared a private room for you upstairs,” Trask’s assistant reminded him.

“Very good, I believe I will do a good job.” Trask nodded confidently, preparing to speak at the meeting immediately.

Thanks to the help of Tang Tian's Umbrella Corporation, the issues of legalizing the Sentinel robots and securing funding were resolved, for which Trask was extremely grateful. However, he was, of course, unaware of the arms dealer's true intentions; Tang Tian would never tell him that he wanted data on the prototype Sentinel robots, and also that he wanted clones to serve him in his place.

Another point is the Paris Conference. Unlike the past when Vietnam successfully resisted the United States, the current situation is different. Due to the emergence of another pure arms company, Steel Fist, by Tangtian, Vietnam sold a large number of advanced firearms such as the AK47 and M4A1, which led to Vietnam's defeat in the war. As a result, Vietnam was forced to become a source of raw materials and a colony of the United States. This conference is said to be a peace agreement.

It's obvious to everyone that this was a meeting where the US gained an advantage while feigning innocence. However, as the victor, the US has the right to say this, and other countries naturally won't object, especially Cuba, which will absolutely not allow these Vietnamese monkeys to escape their colonial status. The success of the Vietnam War, besides the element of weaponry, was largely due to the large amount of war materials Cuba provided to the US. As the world's second-largest power and Asia's strongest, the Cuban government was happy to see these disobedient Vietnamese monkeys become American colonies. After all, the US government didn't object to Cuba's occupation of Japan and Southeast Asia during World War II. Therefore, Cuba will not actively help the US complete its rule over Vietnam and take a share of the spoils at this meeting.

Tang Tian, ​​of course, didn't attend this meeting. He had more important things to do. His target was the Sentinel robots from the parallel universe of Wolverine. Not only could he mimic the mutant abilities he encountered, but aside from the Terminator's TX and T-Infinity, the Sentinel robots were far more powerful than in the comics. In the comics, the Sentinel robots could still put up a fight against mutants, but in the movies, they were finished. The Sentinel robots were almost designed to be invincible, wiping out most mutants.

When Trask arrived at the Royal Hotel conference room, senior U.S. and Vietnamese government officials were already in their seats.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for coming." A smiling Trask quickly entered and greeted the attendees. "Thank you for achieving peace. I know you're about to shake hands and take photos. So, I'll keep it brief. We now have a new enemy who can render all our current weapons useless, paralyze your armies, and collapse your national defense." Trask's words caused whispers among the high-ranking officials of other countries. However, the American high-ranking officials were more inclined to listen attentively to Trask, a renowned American scientist.

“For the new war, you need new weapons. I call them ‘Sentinels.’” Trask had barely finished speaking when his assistant played the blueprints on the Sentinel robot’s computer. Trask continued, “The word ‘Sentinel’ comes from the guards who stood outside ancient fortresses. They possessed the air capabilities of a Harrier jet and were equipped with machine guns that fired up to 2 rounds per second, all using thermoceramic ammunition. Their size, power, and speed—the Sentinel robot’s power absolutely surpasses the Tracker from Umbrella Corporation that the military purchased. Its performance is extraordinary.”

"I know the Tracker is extremely powerful; I think the high-ranking officials in Vietnam are aware of his strength," General Ross said disdainfully, looking at the Vietnamese government officials opposite him.

Seeing that these people didn't look too good, he turned to Trask and asked, "Dr. Trask, I want to know if, besides targeting mutants, this can be used in warfare. I don't want your painstakingly developed Sentinel robots to kill my soldiers." General Ross, now middle-aged, slammed his fist on the table as he spoke, because in warfare, it was the mutant soldiers who contributed the most.

"The Sentinels were theoretically designed for war, but their most unique feature is that they were developed specifically for mutants. They can lock onto a mutant's X-gene within a half-mile range and make an identification. They will absolutely not fire until they have confirmed that the target is a mutant. With a weapon like this, humanity will never be harmed again," Trask said confidently to the people in the conference room.

"That might not be bad, but I don't care about the other mutants, but you have no right to decide the life or death of my mutant soldiers. We can provide military scientists to accelerate your research." General Ross knew that Tang Tian and Trask were now partners, so he was quite confident about obtaining the Sentinel robots for war use, because Umbrella Corporation would modify the Sentinel robots to serve its war effort.

The following plot follows the original storyline: Mystique, disguised as a high-ranking Vietnamese military officer, is discovered by the X-Detector. Magneto and Charles arrive at the location, where Magneto and Mystique stage a scene. Ultimately, the US government and other national governments join the Sentinel Program to demonstrate the existence of mutants to the world.

"The Sentinel robots in Wolverine's future world are really powerful. Their exteriors are biomechanical armor developed based on Mystique's genes, and their heads are laser cannons. I'll be going there soon," Tang Tian muttered to himself.

Within the Umbrella Corporation, Tang Tian was satisfied with the future Wolverine's side, while equipping his own small world with a large number of newly manufactured Gauss weapons and plasma weapons. Of course, his small world already contained a large number of Terminators, NS-5s, octopus robots, and bio-weapons. To go to the future Wolverine's world, he needed to prepare powerful weapons. The Sentinel robots could not be destroyed with ordinary weapons. In order to obtain the technology of that world, Tang Tian had already equipped himself with the powerful weapons newly created by Nikola Tesla in the field of electromagnetics.

Gauss weapons are upgraded versions of electromagnetic weapons, easily achieving 6-8 times the speed of sound, much like miniature electromagnetic railguns, capable of penetrating and devastating the armor of Sentinel robots. Plasma weapons, needless to say, generate millions of degrees of heat capable of completely melting any material; the octopus robot was undoubtedly there to steal technology from that dimension. Before transmigrating, Tang Tian had already located the coordinates of the future Wolverine's world. After preparing everything, Tang Tian transmigrated...

In a post-apocalyptic world overrun by Sentinel robots, Tang Tian could only say that improving his technological capabilities would require sacrificing the world's inhabitants, but who cared? (To be continued...)

Chapter 103 The Future World

The future world of Wolverine is filled with malice. Sentinel robots constantly detect and eliminate mutants. Upon contact with mutants, the Sentinel robots instantly copy their abilities and modify themselves to fight against them, ultimately leading to the near extinction of mutants.

New York City, Sentinel robot-controlled area.

In a desolate New York City, searchlights illuminate the sky, searching for any potential mutants. At a large Sentinel robot base, those deemed normal by the Sentinels are placed under martial law around a concentration camp. The camp is surrounded by a protective network of laser beams. The inhabitants of this camp are mutants and the humans who helped them. The defeated soldiers numbly walk into the camp, each with a number around their neck; death awaits them.

Because of the Sentinel robots' long-term destruction of the world, only one in ten humans remains. The remaining rulers are militarized and actively exterminate mutants. Most of the humans who helped them have been enslaved and are now serving the current rulers. Sentinel bases have been established in most of the world's uninhabited areas to eliminate hidden mutants.

At the Sentinel Base in New York City, squads of armed soldiers patrolled the area outside the conference room, preventing a final counterattack by the mutants. Inside the base, human soldiers wore special combat suits and helmets designed to prevent telepathy. Magneto's helmet had been stolen by the Sentinel robots, and the evil rulers had scientists mass-produce these helmets to prevent Professor X from using his telepathic abilities to wipe out all of humanity.

"Damn mutants, damn world, good things are dwindling, but the war will soon be won." Commander Smith White of the New York City base was savoring his dwindling supply of red wine and enjoying delicious food. He was enjoying a privilege currently reserved for high-ranking government officials, after 50 years of fighting the mutants. The war had severely impacted productivity and the environment; some areas were even barren, a testament to the devastating damage of war.

Shortly after Smith finished eating, a soldier in a black combat uniform walked in. Smith looked up at the soldier, his face displeased and cold, and asked him, "What is it? If it's important, say it now."

Perhaps Smith was a little impatient. The soldier quickly said, "Sir, the general is coming soon."

"What?" Smith put down his wine and asked in surprise. They were puzzled because they knew that General Stryker, the supreme ruler of the Federation, was coming.

“The general is coming right away, sir,” the soldier repeated. Smith waved him away, then pondered some questions. Victory over the mutants was drawing ever closer, especially since the main force of the mutant resistance had been completely wiped out by the Sentinels in the last decade. However, remnants of the original X-Men and Brotherhood continued to resist, rescuing the few remaining mutants to fight the Sentinel robots. The task of eliminating the mutant leader was assigned to Smith by Stryker, and he knew why General Stryker was here.

"Buzz buzz buzz!!!" An alarm blared throughout the base. All the soldiers in the base prepared for battle and activated a large number of sentry robots in preparation for the impending attack.

“What happened? Get me the satellite maps.” Smith went into the staff headquarters and asked one of the officers.

"What is this... Why are there so many... What? Most of the transport ships in the sky have been shot down by mysterious flying creatures... Zoom in on the map, I need to see what these creatures look like." Smith stared intently at the screen. Just as he was observing, he received a message that other bases needed rescue. Upon seeing the zombie bats in the sky that looked like pterosaurs, Smith was shocked and terrified by these strange creatures. Their sheer number, blotting out the sky, terrified most of the soldiers.

"Black dots on the ground. What's that?" Although Smith was somewhat afraid of the unknown, he wasn't scared. The presence of the Sentinel robots made him feel safe.

“Sir, after confirmation from other bases, the black spots on the ground are humanoid robots and humans that have undergone special mutations,” an intelligence officer wearing a headset in the staff calmly told Smith.

"How strong are these creatures? Can the Sentinel robots handle them?" Smith asked, wanting to know if they had a chance of winning.

"Its combat capabilities are not as good as the Sentinel Robots... but..." the intelligence officer replied somewhat hesitantly.

"What do you mean 'just'? I want to know the exact result," Smith said angrily. He knew he hadn't expected this to happen so suddenly, just as the war against mutants was about to end, which surprised him greatly.

"Yes, sir. It's just that the weapons used by those humanoid robots are devastating to the Sentinel robots. While the Sentinel robots can handle many of the mutated creatures, there are simply too many of them. And there are also some enormous mutated creatures with mutant-like abilities that haven't been defeated in their fight against the Sentinel robots." The intelligence officer stammered to Smith, his eyes filled with fear. If the battle against the mutants was swift and decisive, then this massive attack by these creatures is even more devastating.

"Smith, have you investigated thoroughly? Who released these monsters? Several bases have already been captured." Just as Smith was pondering this, General Stryker, the head of the military, arrived and asked in a deep voice, looking at Smith who was frantically watching the battle situation.

"I'm sorry, General, we haven't found out who released it yet. But there are two possibilities: either it was an alien or it's a secret weapon created by mutants." Smith lowered his head, not daring to look at Stryker's expression, and said uncertainly.

"Useless trash, I know all that you're saying. The situation is far from optimistic. I know all that, otherwise what would I need you for?" William Stryker slammed his fist on the table and said angrily.

"General, the latest news is that we have identified the source of these creatures' release," Smith's assistant from the General Staff replied to Stryker.

"Where?" Stryker asked the young staff officer with an air of authority.

"In the direction of the ancient kingdom, there's a ruin that, after scanning, was found to be the location of the mutant leader. Of course, there's also a group of advanced beings with enormous energy fluctuations in this place," Smith's assistant said thoughtfully.

"It seems to be the work of mutants. Send out all those Sentinel robots to deal with that particular mutant. This may be the mutants' last strength. The Sentinels will prevail," Stryker ordered the entire staff.

On the other side, outside the ruins of the ancient kingdom.

A group of Tyrants dressed in green military coats are fighting Sentinel robots. The highly intelligent Sentinel robots work together to attack the Tyrants. Of course, these Tyrants, who have been transplanted with mutant genes, are not to be underestimated. The Tyrants with the genes of Black King and Silver Warrior easily slice through the bodies of the Sentinel robots. The battle is constantly alternating.

"It's time to save these mutants, no, the most important thing is their genes." Seeing his mutant tyrant suppress the Sentinel robots aboard the large Hunter spaceship, Tang Tian nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, Tang Tian came to this parallel universe of Wolverine to plunder the genes of the Sentinel robots and mutants. Therefore, he unleashed all sorts of bizarre bio-weapons created across multiple dimensions in this world. The Terminator and NS-5 robots continued their unilateral slaughter of the Sentinel robots using Gauss and plasma weapons, and even resurrected the corpses killed by the Sentinel robots using the T-virus. These became their nightmares. The battle has only just begun. (To be continued...)

Chapter 104 Trading

Upon arriving in this world, Tang Tian directed everything from the control room of the large-scale hunter. At this time, massive amounts of bio-weapons and Terminators had been deployed to the outskirts of various Sentinel bases, and T-viruses and G-viruses had been released into the corpses of mutants killed by the Sentinel robots. Tang Tian believed that the resurrected mutants would seek revenge against humanity.

The large Hunter spaceship's screens were displaying scenes of battles in various war zones—scenes that seemed straight out of a future war. The Sentinel robots were actually quite powerful; they were faster and reacted more quickly than ordinary mutants, and their strength was at least twice that of enhanced mutants. Their melee capabilities were also formidable; the laser cannons in their heads were devastating even to ordinary Tyrants.

Tang Tian has stored over 1 billion various biological weapons, 5 million Terminator troops, and 3 million octopus robots in this small world. His plan is essentially to conduct small-scale tactical nuclear bombardments on target locations, followed by a massive influx of biological weapons and Terminators to overwhelm the Sentinel robots with high-tech weaponry. The final stage involves the octopus robots emptying the Sentinel base. Since he's come to this world, Tang Tian naturally won't trade with the natives. He'll trade when he's weaker than them, but when he surpasses them, he'll steal their technology.

"Skynet, this operation plan is yours. Annihilate every single human here, leaving no one alive. I only want the technology. The use of nuclear warheads exceeding 50 megatons is permitted." Tang Tian said expressionlessly to Skynet as he watched the black dots of the sentinel bases go out one by one in the detection system.

"Yes, Mastermind. By the way, our forces have already breached dozens of human bases. Our bioweapons and Terminator units have also suffered a 10% loss, and our forces have also suffered heavy losses due to the overwhelming power of the Sentinel robot heads," Skynet reported emotionlessly.

"I see! Not bad. Increase the attack intensity. What I need is technology." Tang Tian then gave Skynet the order to continue the attack. He then looked at the trouble that the corpses resurrected by the T-virus and G-virus had caused to the bases. Overall, Tang Tian's operation was very successful. Although the robots and biological weapons did not gain an advantage over the Sentinel robots, Tang Tian still used the advantage of high-tech weapons to destroy a large number of Sentinels and copy and plunder their technology.

The Sentinel robots were completely defenseless against Gauss weapons and plasma weapons. Although their bodies were infused with the White Queen's power and other elemental abilities, Gauss weapons could penetrate even the outer shell of a spaceship. This was even more true for the bio-armor modified with Mystique's genes. This is why Tang was able to gain the upper hand on the battlefield and gradually dismantle the Sentinel base's forces.

"It seems we should head over to Professor X and Magneto. Getting their genes wouldn't be bad, since it'll be a while before those mutants appear." After seeing that the battlefield situation had stabilized, Tang Tian prepared to go to the mutant leaders. He believed they would make one last deal here.

Meanwhile, in the ancient kingdom's Sentinel Robot-occupied territory, Phantom Cat, unaware of the impending Sentinel Robot attack, was making final preparations.

"Twelve transport ships have arrived." Conqueror on the ruins closed his eyes and looked ahead; instantly, all the clouds and mist seemed to pierce through. Conqueror quickly spotted the twelve Sentinel robot transport ships approaching and then alerted the mutants present.

Professor X turned to Magneto with a serious expression and said, "They've discovered us." Magneto glanced at Wolverine beside Professor X, his eyes filled with determination, and then walked out. Professor X also looked deeply at the spot where Magneto had left, lost in thought. He understood that Magneto's attempt to stop the Sentinels outside was likely a one-way trip.

Soon, twelve transport ships arrived, ready to eliminate the last mutants. The Sentinel base here did not go to support other battlefields because Stryker believed the Sentinel robots could gain an advantage in the main battlefields. Of course, these forces were sent out to find the mutant who released these creatures and to eliminate Magneto and his allies.

Magneto watched the transport ship slowly advance and descended the steps one by one. He knew the final moment had arrived.

"They're here," Zhengtu reminded Shan Shan beside him. He nodded, indicating they should prepare for battle.

“We can’t hold off that many Sentinels,” Bishop said, turning to Storm beside him and shaking his head.

“We can’t stop them, but we can buy time.” Storm’s gaze was more determined than ever before, and she activated her ability to levitate. Just as Storm was preparing to unleash a storm attack, Blink appeared at the opportune moment. Storm used her most powerful ability to cause the transport ships to collide and destroy each other, but the transport ships also automatically deployed Sentinel robots. A large number of Sentinel robots emerged.

“Storm.” Bishop needed the power of lightning, so he gestured for her to attack him with lightning. After replenishing her energy, Blink created a miniature wormhole for Bishop to fire from, and the mutant unleashed all his power to fight the Sentinel robots.

Seeing that he still couldn't stop the large number of Sentinel robots from advancing, Magneto floated in the air and raised the last advanced escape vehicle possessed by the X-Men. Storm heard the sound behind her. Turning around, she saw Magneto nod slightly and knew what he was about to do.

Storm's hands were steadily gathering lightning energy, preparing to coordinate with Magneto to destroy the Sentinel robots. Sure enough, the spacecraft suddenly disintegrated upon reaching the Sentinel robots, its countless metal fragments destroying the robots in the air. Seeing the spacecraft reach the Sentinel robots, Storm unleashed all her lightning into the spacecraft's reactor, instantly creating a mushroom cloud that engulfed all the Sentinel transport ships and a large number of Sentinels. Magneto's plan proved highly successful; however, Magneto himself was fatally wounded by shrapnel from a Sentinel robot after the spacecraft's explosion, and without medical attention, he would soon die.

"Is everyone alright?" Blink asked the others with concern. At that moment, Magneto slowly landed on the ground. Seeing that Magneto had suffered a fatal injury, everyone's attention was drawn to him, completely unaware of the impending danger.

"Bang!!" Just as Storm was distracted by Magneto, a Sentinel who had climbed out of the water launched a sneak attack on her. However, Tang Tian, ​​along with his high-ranking Tyrant and some soldiers, had just arrived using their spatial abilities when the attacking Sentinel was met with a telekinetic punch from the Tyrant.

"Thank you," Storm said to Tang Tian, ​​who had saved her after discovering the Sentinel's ambush, despite his oddly dressed appearance.
