Chapter 160 The Terrible Battle Suit Soul

Although it was a classic American joke format, no one present caught the joke, and they all looked at the uninvited guest in astonishment.

"Where did this clown come from?" Eric asked with disgust.

Hank beside him said awkwardly, "Isn't this someone from your island?"

"Believe me, if you do this on my territory, I will definitely feed him to the fish." Eric said contemptuously.

The Joker walked around in a sassy manner, looking around and saying, "This is the mutant reservation. I've learned a lot. By the way, where is your casino?"

"Would you mind letting someone go and gamble? I don't have any money, and if I lose, I can't afford to pay for it, but I can stay and perform as a clown. All you have to do is provide food and lodging."

This is a satire on Genosha Island being an Indian reservation. Magneto Eric couldn't stand this kind of ridicule and wanted to teach the person a lesson.

But the mouth did not stop, but continued to say:

"Your scenery here is pristine, so there aren't many genetically modified foods. Eating too much of that stuff is not good for you, don't you know?

"If someone adds something to the mix, either the entire planet will become mutants, or all mutants will die. Be careful."

"But this kind of poverty isn't without its benefits. Those who embrace environmentalism and green ideas should live in places like this. They grow their own food and clothing, so they don't have to go hungry during bad times. They live an eco-friendly life without gasoline or electricity.

"Yeah, that's not right. Many of you are wearing clothes that are not pure cotton, linen or wool, but polyester. This is not environmentally friendly. Or do you have a green petrochemical plant that can produce environmentally friendly plastics?

"You better have one, otherwise I'll think you're on par with that so-called European environmentalist. She flies and takes trains everywhere, but refuses to ride a bike around giving environmental speeches in air-conditioned rooms.

"Ultimately, environmental protection is something for us poor people. Look at this place; it's incredibly environmentally friendly. I think everyone could be even more environmentally friendly, right?

"Look, Genosha Island is located north of the Tropic of Cancer and has a tropical climate. And since it's an island, it's hot and humid. Actually, there's no need for everyone to wear so much clothing. Like some of the natives, a single leaf is enough, regardless of gender. You know what I mean."

The clown's forehead trembled, and his painted red eyebrows trembled with it. His face was so heavily painted that it was almost impossible to tell what he looked like, but he still managed to give people a mean look.

Eric, who had originally wanted to teach the other person a lesson, decisively backed off. He said, "Why would a normal person argue with a psychopath, insisting on what the other person should be like? It's like a non-human being who insists on fighting a dog."

So Eric dismissed the team he had assembled, led two designated followers, and went to prepare for battle. For him, the most important thing was of course the psychic helmet. As long as Professor X didn't do anything shady, he was almost invincible.

Seeing everyone running away, Hank, with nowhere to run, became the only target of the clown. He looked at the clown in panic and suspicion, and asked timidly, "Who are you?"

"You guys asked me to come here," the Joker grabbed the humanoid Hank McCoy and said, "You're using the excuse of fighting aliens to get me to condescend to do something as trivial as this. You know I'm making a few cents a minute, so I'm very busy."

"You are... Henry?" Hank said in surprise.

The Joker hooked his arm around Hank's neck and walked towards the X-Men, saying, "No, no, no, there's no Henry, there's only the Joker. Just like you, Hank is Hank, and Beast is Beast. Are those two names the same person or two people?

"I'm just a pot of mixed soup, with a little bit of everything in it. A little bit super, a little bit crazy, a little bit cowardly, a little bit cheap, a little bit of a loser, a little bit cowardly, a little bit crooked, a little bit of everything.

"As for the main ingredient, it's water, of course. As I said, water, you're like the ocean. Such blatant cheating on the word count, don't you think it'll make people mad with envy?

"By the way, you said we were going to fight aliens. Who are we going to fight? ET? I'm the best at beating kids. If they keep quiet, I'll beat them. If they start to make a noise, I'll keep beating them until they're silent. So you came to me."

"Have you seen it? The Eighteen Styles of Loving Father and Strict Mother. I learned them when I was a kid, but never had the chance to use them. I don't have any children of my own, so I just used other people's styles to practice. They say why raise your own children? Other people's styles are more fun. Don't you agree?"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Hank finally found a chance to interrupt and shouted, breaking free from the arm that was hooking his neck. "That's a clown, right? I get it, stop talking. Go get a seat on the plane. I need to prepare for takeoff and I need to concentrate."

"OK, no talking." The Joker made a zipper-like gesture with his mouth, boarded the X-fighter, and sat down in the driver's seat.

Seeing his seat was taken, Hank was dumbfounded and asked, "Do you know how to fly a Blackbird?"

"Of course I know." Clown Chao pointed at the instruments and switches in front of him and said, "This is the landing gear handle, this is the takeoff button, this is the automatic reverse parking switch, and this is the knob for adjusting the radio channel.

"And this, my favorite, is the airplane steering wheel, right? Let me think about it, it's supposed to be upside down. So if you turn it left, it goes right, and if you turn it right, it goes left. Next to it is the coffee machine. Um, I just want to ask, where is the handbrake?"

"Great, that's all wrong," Hank said helplessly. "Please sit in the back."

"Why, the view here is so good." The clown said unwillingly. While adjusting the height of the seat and the backrest, he was having fun.

Hank could only transform into a beast, grab the Joker's head and lift it back.

The person who was caught offered no resistance at all. He was pulled out of the driver's seat like a dead rabbit being grabbed by its ears and stuffed into any seat in the back seat.

Hank even helped the man buckle his seatbelt. He had no tools or materials at hand, otherwise he would have found a metal bar and welded the man to the seat.

With his clever brain, Hank could already imagine the hardships of the upcoming journey.

When Magneto put on his iconic helmet and boarded the X-Men with the prepared Red Lotus and Selene, he of course saw the uninvited guest in clown costume.

"He wants to work with us?" Magneto questioned Hank in the driver's seat.

Hank replied awkwardly, "He's the helper Raven specifically wanted."

"Mutant?"

"No, he claims to be an alien."

……

An awkward silence suddenly fell within the X-Men, and Magneto and the other three looked at the Joker. He blinked rapidly, then gave a puppy-like, pitiful look that made one want to... punch him!

Chapter 161 God’s Prophecy

"O Romeo, why art thou Romeo? Deny thy father, and renounce thy name: if thou wilt not, then swear to be my love, and I shall be no more a Capulet.

"Oh, Ju-alien, why is your profile so prominent, as if it contains a mouthpart that can pop out. Why is your hair tied into thin braids, like an iron-blooded warrior who came to Earth for training. Why is your skin so dark...

“O Romeo, ought thou not to swear by the holy moon, that paints the tree-tops silver.

"Oh, Zhu Ailan, the moon is changeable, waxing and waning, and I am afraid that you will also change. This bud of love, illuminated by the colorful rainbow light, has turned this meeting into a cruel test.

"Good night, good night! Parting is such a blessing and luck. I am happy to see tomorrow's sunshine. God has no mercy. Can he see through my fear?

"Ah! This is where I will make my eternal resting place, freeing you, the unfaithful one, from the long river of life. My eyes, for one last look at you! My shoulders, for one last embrace of you!

"Even if you say you love me, I would rather be discovered by my family and die at their hands than die tragically on the spot just to receive your love."

After taking off from the X-fighter, the Joker tried to talk to others, but no one wanted to pay attention to him, so he simply played multiple roles and started a drama.

If no one understood what he was singing, that would be fine. But Selene, the unremarkable girl with a three-point haircut, did understand. Although he was dressed simply like the others on Genosha Island, his temperament clearly showed that he was not a small fry.

From the inexplicable elegance in his every move, one could tell that he was full of contradictions. At least, he understood the clown's magical opera and said:

"The classic duet from 'Romeo and Juliet' is a very romantic scene. How can it still be watched after you've changed it into this?"

"No, no, no, I didn't change anything. This is a play performed in a real opera house." The clown said arrogantly.

"Which theater would be stupid enough to stage such a play?" Selene said with a disgusted expression.

"Wait a minute, let me do some math. Well, as long as you live another thirty-two years, you'll be able to see this masterpiece in a London theater. This is absolutely a divine prophecy, honest and trustworthy. Don't come looking for me, or I'll compensate you with a watermelon. Hahahaha."

Selene looked like she was going to continue arguing with the Joker, but she was glared at by her boss, Magneto. "Shut up!"

Selene, who was in a subordinate position, shut her mouth obediently.

The clown, who had lost his chat partner, was not discouraged at all. He sang classic opera music alone:

"I once dreamed of a time gone by. A time when dreams sailed high and life was filled with hope. I dreamed love would never end, and I dreamed God was so forgiving. Back then I was young and fearless, and dreams were forged and wasted..."

Unable to bear it any longer, Magneto used his power to pull a piece of iron sheet from the X-fighter cabin and covered half of the Joker's face, making him unable to speak.

Hank yelled in dissatisfaction at the destruction of the fighter plane, but seeing that the Joker could only whimper and couldn't utter a word, Hank endured it and didn't ask Eric to put the iron back together.

Finally, a moment of peace returned to the cabin.

After a while, the Joker desperately gestured to the others, but no one could understand him. He had no choice but to unbuckle his seat belt, walk over to Hank, who was driving, and also gestured wildly.

Fortunately, Hank has been a teacher at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters for a long time. Unlike Professor X, Charles, he can use telepathy. When faced with some children who cannot speak, he always refuses to push them to Professor X, so he also learned sign language.

He quickly understood what the clown meant and said in surprise, "What! You talked too much and got thirsty, so you want to drink some water. Are you asking me where the water is?"

The Joker nodded, this action was recognized by everyone.

Hank didn't think much of it and pointed to the cabinet with the medical symbol at the back of the cabin. He said, "There's emergency food under the medical cabinet. There's bottled water inside."

Joker Chao walked to the rear end of the cabin in a swaying manner and took out a bottle of water from under the medical cabinet.

At this moment, everyone who felt something was wrong remembered that this guy's mouth was sealed. How could he drink water?

The clown unscrewed the cap of the bottle of water and was about to put it in his mouth, but was blocked by the iron seal.

Everyone thought he would turn around and beg Magneto for help, but the Joker just used one finger to pry open the metal seal around his mouth. He drank a bottle of water in a row, and then put the metal seal back on...

When he returned to his seat and fastened his seat belt, he continued to whimper, wanting to say something but unable to, looking very aggrieved.

Witnessing everything, Magneto had only one thought: "Are you serious?"

Hank, who had set the X-fighter to autopilot and watched the entire process, was more panicked than anyone else.

He just wanted to rush back to the Junior School and tell Riven, who was still recovering in the infirmary, "Can we not have this helper?" Seeing this guy's current behavior made him so panicked, he had no idea what he would do during the battle.

It was night in New York City when the X-fighter landed in a park in Queens, but for this brightly lit metropolis, life had just begun.

Hank was executing the standard landing and shutdown procedure, while the others were escaping from the X-fighter. There was no other way, someone on the plane was really too much of a troublemaker, and everyone was almost unable to hold back and beat him up.

Joker slowly unbuckled his seatbelt, ripped off the iron mask from his mouth, and took a deep breath of the stale New York City air. He even used both hands to comb his slicked-back hair before turning around and preparing to get off the plane.

This series of actions made the beast, who had transformed into a blue strong man, lose his confidence. He wanted to find a mirror to comb his stiff and messy hair.

However, the two people who were a little slow in their movements were unable to get off the plane because Magneto and others who had run ahead were blocking the door to the plane.

The Joker looked forward from the gap in the crowd and saw a group of American soldiers with live ammunition and full protective measures, half-surrounding the cabin door.

"What's going on? Are they here to distribute equipment? Giving each person a bullet, directly into the head, how thoughtful, how embarrassing. If it were me, I would just put it on the ground and let us take it ourselves. Why is there any need for such enthusiasm?"

No one paid attention to the Joker's crazy talk, and the officer leading the soldiers shouted: "Magneto, the US government has not canceled the arrest warrant for you. If you dare to get off the plane and set foot on American soil, I will execute the arrest warrant. Leave now immediately."

Chapter 162 Conflict

In fact, the American soldiers' warning was already a slack one. Otherwise, the moment they saw the person, they would have arrested Magneto, who was classified as a terrorist, or even shot him on the spot.

But Omega-level mutants, especially the experienced Magneto, are not suitable to be used as opponents without full body plastic equipment.

This was not only clear to the American soldiers, but also to Magneto. However, his target was not these people, so he asked the beast walking behind him with disdain, "Did you arrange this?"

The beast said helplessly, "If it was really me who arranged this, there must be a smarter way to do it."

Selene, who also has the ability to read minds, said, "Professor X sent them here."

"Ah, Charles. Can I say that's not surprising at all," Magneto commented on those who were not present or were hiding in the shadows.

"What are you doing!" a soldier suddenly shouted. He pointed his gun at the clown who had just gotten out of the X-fighter and was about to slip away.

The clown Chao, who was caught, immediately became the focus of the scene. He looked at everyone awkwardly, pointed in a certain direction and said, "I drank too much water on the plane, and now I need to pee."

"Well... the public toilet is on the other side." The soldier answered inexplicably.

"Oh, thanks." Joker Chao changed direction. "This way, right?"

"Ah, no! Stop right there, don't move." The soldier pointed his gun at the clown.

Clown Chao, frozen in a stealthy thief's pose, glanced at everyone present with a pair of shifty eyes and asked, "So, now is...ah, look! There's a shooting star!"

Even though it sounded like a joke, everyone couldn't help but look in the direction the Joker was pointing. The dark sky looked like a fiery red meteor shower, each streak of fire heading straight towards New York City.

Hank immediately thought of a possibility and muttered, "Could it be an alien warship from outer space landing?"

Who would have thought that upon seeing this, the commander of the American soldiers excitedly shouted, "Mutants are attacking! Everyone open fire!"

The American soldiers, who were skeptical about the existence of aliens, saw someone attacking New York and were more convinced that it was done by mutants than aliens. After all, the notorious terrorist leader, Magneto, was there.

The soldiers who received the order did not hesitate and immediately pulled the trigger. The rifles fired a volley of bullets without warning or mercy.

Magneto, of course, wasn't one to sit still and wait for death. He stopped all incoming bullets. Selene cooperated, using mind control to freeze all the soldiers. Guren used a hair whip to fling everyone away.

The three of them executed a series of moves, each one smooth and seamless, instantly repelling all the soldiers surrounding the X-fighter's hatch. The bullets seemed to have lost all kinetic energy and fell to the ground, not returning to the soldiers who had fired them. This was Magneto's mercy.

Magneto turned around and said to the Beast: "So, now our enemies include not only aliens but also American soldiers, right?"

"That's not what Charles wanted," Hank argued.

"But things are developing in this direction. It's not satisfactory, ha." Magneto said to the two people he brought with him: "Find Jean, take him with you, and we will leave."

Magneto was well aware of his situation. The group of people who fell from the sky and were mistaken for mutants were not his people. No matter how confident he was in himself, he didn't need to tangle with a group of idiots when he was outnumbered.

Moreover, he also had to consider Genosha Island, the last home of mutants, and it was impossible for him to offend the United States to death. This was why he only repelled the people and did not kill these offending soldiers.

"Selene," Magneto called out to the witch, once the Dark Queen of the Hellfire Club. With a long lifespan and unfathomable strength, she was arguably one of the most powerful mutants on Genosha, aside from himself.

This nearly immortal witch didn't have to do anything. Even when her abilities were at a low point, she could still feel the powerful life energy coming in a certain direction.

"There it is!" said Selene.

Without hesitation, Magneto said to everyone, "Let's go. If you don't want us to kill too much, finish the job as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible."

Even Beast, the X-Man, couldn't find fault with this. He had found the person himself, so there was no way he would turn against them and send them away.
