Chapter 431 X-Men VS Supreme Squadron
Playing cards entwined with magenta energy fluttered up and down in Gambit's hand, matching his threatening tone. It looked somewhat humorous, but anyone who had seen the explosion just now would not ignore their presence.
Only Hyperion, his gaze was always locked on another person, Cyclops, who had one hand placed on his visor. Although the atomic ray he released just now was not at full power, it was not something any Tom, Dick, or Harry could withstand.
Even among his partners in the Supreme Squadron, only two or three could withstand this move, and they wouldn't block it so easily.
Arcanna used magic to teleport Power Princess, who was embedded in the ground, to her side, kneeling on one knee beside her and asking with concern, "Are you alright?"
"Phew!" Power Princess shook her head. "I'm fine, far from death, what's the situation now?"
"Bad news," Arcanna showed a wry smile. "The enemies have multiplied."
Power Princess stood up and re-examined the battlefield. The first thing she saw was Gambit playing with cards and Cyclops standing shoulder to shoulder with him. Behind them stood a plant humanoid creature, and next to him was a beautiful black woman with silver-white long hair.
Adding in the Metal Man who had thrown her to the ground just now and Magik, their enemies had suddenly increased to six. This was indeed bad news.
Magik alone was already very difficult to deal with, and adding five more people, it was impossible to think it would be simpler than at the beginning.
"We are only here to apprehend the murderer, idlers please step aside," Doctor Spectrum waved his hand in a dismissive gesture, which only drew Gambit's disdainful laughter.
"I think I've made myself clear before, tight suit guy."
Gambit flipped his wrist and all the playing cards disappeared, leaving only one card in his hand.
"Although I don't know why you freaks, as humans, have such a high tolerance, but I think IQ shouldn't be the main factor, right?"
The card was flipped over, an Ace with a funny Joker pattern was displayed in front of the Supreme Squadron, the meaning of mockery was self-evident.
"Looks like there's nothing to talk about." Doctor Spectrum's forehead veins bulged. He of course heard Gambit's sarcasm, and immediately controlled energy to smash towards Gambit.
Facing the overwhelming energy attack, Gambit laughed loudly, drew a handful of playing cards and was about to fight back, but Cyclops took the lead.
Scarlet rays swept across the air and violently exploded after contacting the spectrum energy, but no attack could cross the line. Cyclops blocked them all.
"Hey, that's mine!" Gambit shouted dissatisfied. "You're really being a killjoy, Scott."
"We're not playing a game, Gambit," Cyclops sighed helplessly. "Also, when on a mission, please call me by my code name, Cyclops, thank you."
"Okay, bright headlights." Gambit secretly gave the middle finger where Cyclops couldn't see, and then laughed and shot out the card in his hand.
Facing such a large number of bombs, Arcanna dared not be careless, and immediately released her strongest shield magic, and Doctor Spectrum also used spectrum to construct a shield on top of it.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion sounded, and when the smoke dissipated, the unscathed Supreme Squadron appeared in front of everyone, and began to organize a counter-attack.
"Arcanna, Doctor Spectrum, you are responsible for stopping the two guys in front," Hyperion struck a pose. "Power Princess, you are responsible for dealing with the two behind, if you feel overwhelmed, let Arcanna and them support you, I will go and capture our goal, let's make a quick battle."
"Roger!" ×3.
As soon as Hyperion finished speaking, the Supreme Squadron moved. Doctor Spectrum gathered spectrum energy and solidified them into dozens of javelins. His mission was to stall Cyclops and the others, so he chose to use a massive amount of attacks to entangle his opponents.
Arcanna thought the same way, opening her hands and various low-level attack magic that could be quickly cast were scattered out like they cost nothing. Facing such a powerful attack, Cyclops and Gambit really couldn't spare a hand to deal with Hyperion and Power Princess flying over their heads.
Nor was it necessary to deal with them, after all, there were still two reliable teammates standing behind them.
Facing Hyperion and Power Princess who had seen through her, Storm's eyes were instantly filled with white energy. A breeze lifted her up, and thick dark clouds had unknowingly covered the sky. Thick thunder serpents writhed in the dark clouds, watching their goals.
"Get back!"
Storm waved her raised hands down, and two thick thunder serpents fell from the sky, pointing directly at the flying Hyperion and Power Princess. The two who had already noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky dodged the lightning strike, but this was not the end.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Having just dodged a lightning, dozens of equally thick lightning bolts fell from the sky one after another. At this time, Storm was like Zeus in Greek mythology, becoming the master of the entire sky.
The net of heaven and earth formed by dozens of lightning bolts made it very difficult for even Hyperion and Power Princess to dodge, and for a time they were unable to move an inch, and were constantly forced back by the lightning.
"Ah!"
Power Princess, who was weaker, was exhausted from dodging, and was accidentally hit by lightning, followed by dozens of lightning bolts coming one after another, and at this time Power Princess was simply unable to defend and evade.
In Power Princess's fearful gaze, Hyperion's sturdy back blocked the lightning all over the sky. This powerful being of the Supreme Squadron finally chose not to hold back after seeing his teammate injured.
"This is your own fault!"
Orange-yellow rays burst out from Hyperion's eyes. The atomic ray released before was far from comparable to this time. It not only shattered the dozens of lightning bolts that fell, but even the dark clouds covering the sky were annihilated under this attack, as if a hole had been blasted out of the sky.
After releasing the ray, Hyperion glared at Storm, his body turned into an afterimage, and rushed towards Storm at a speed far surpassing the beginning.
Storm intended to conjure up a gale to block Hyperion's attack, but when she thought of her teammates nearby, the idea she had just raised dissipated. Just as she was thinking of other methods, Hyperion was about to rush in front of her.
However, before Hyperion could rush to Storm's side, a huge wall that rose from the ground blocked him. Hyperion in his rage of course would not pay attention to this wall, even if it was made of Vibranium, he could smash a hole through it if he wanted to.
"Boom!"
As expected, the green wall didn't even block for a second before it was smashed to pieces by Hyperion, but Hyperion, who broke through the wall, didn't see Storm who should have appeared behind the wall.
Before he could search for her figure, several thick vines wrapped around his entire body.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 432 X-Men VS Supreme Squadron
Hyperion turned back to look for the source of the vines and found that the source of these vines was the barrier that had just blocked him. Those barriers looked like some kind of tree trunk. Through the hole he had just smashed, he could still see the tree rings and broken sawdust.
"Petty trick!"
Hyperion grinned and bulged his muscles all over his body, tearing the vines that were as wide as a person, and once again shot atomic rays to burn the towering tree trunks to ashes.
"Burning trees is illegal, kid!"
A voice suddenly came from his ear. Hyperion turned around sharply and found that the plant person who had been standing on the ground had flown near him. Looking at the wings composed of various plants overlapping behind the opponent, he knew how the opponent flew up without thinking.
"Bang!"
Taking advantage of Hyperion's hesitation, Yang Le slammed his right fist firmly on the opponent's face. The force was so great that Hyperion staggered. Not only that, Yang Le's free left hand grew a huge purple man-eating flower.
The man-eating flower opened its huge mouthparts and swallowed Hyperion, a strong man nearly two meters tall, into its upper body. The sharp teeth kept tearing at Hyperion's body, but unfortunately, it didn't achieve anything.
"Tear!"
Hyperion, who had recovered, spread his arms and opened the buds of the man-eating flower. Although the corrosive mucus of the man-eating flower did not harm him, it stimulated his anger even more. He vowed to make the guy who made him so embarrassed look good.
Unfortunately, the first thing he saw when he saw the light of day again was not the enemy who angered him, but several bean pods that were frighteningly large and strangely shaped.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion sounded. Several peashooters fired together, and peas the size of watermelons rained down on Hyperion.
One trick for all seasons, Hyperion shot out atomic rays and just turned his head slightly, and the overwhelming peas turned into ashes, making Yang Le's teeth itch.
'No wonder the Celestials poked your eyes out.' Yang Le slandered in his heart.
"Try this again!" Yang Le raised his arms flat, and his hands turned into two hollow wooden stakes in a burst of wriggling. After a short period of charging, thick flames spurted out from them, engulfing Hyperion in the blink of an eye. This attack indicates Yang Le is using **Swampfire**.
However, the seemingly powerful flames did not cause any damage to Hyperion. Hyperion ignored the flames roasting him and rushed to Yang Le in front of him and swung his fist.
Hyperion's fist was wrapped in a hurricane, which extinguished the spurting out flames before hitting Yang Le's body. With the body of **Swampfire**, he naturally couldn't block this punch. Yang Le's left shoulder and wings behind him were shattered. Yang Le, who lost a wing, could no longer maintain his balance and began to fall to the ground.
However, before Yang Le fell to the ground, a breeze lifted him up. It was **Ororo**, also known as **Storm**, who was present and could control the wind as she pleased. After losing Yang Le's entanglement, Hyperion indeed found her not far away.
"How dare you!" Ororo's silver-white hair was blown up by the strong wind, and muffled thunder rumbled in the sky. The angry Ororo decided not to hide her power anymore.
This gale that made it difficult to move attracted the attention of other people on the battlefield. The Supreme Squadron was horrified by Ororo's strength, while the mutants saw the injured Yang Le.
"You 'sons of the beach'!" Gambit was furious. Among the mutants, he and Yang Le had the best relationship. He had long regarded Yang Le as his best buddy. How could he not be angry when his good brother was injured?
Gambit reached out and touched his waist. A short stick with a metallic luster appeared in his hand. After he pressed the mechanism on the short stick, the short stick turned into a one-person-high staff in the blink of an eye.
"Drink!" Gambit shouted softly, injecting energy into it as he raised the staff, and then slammed it down hard after the staff reached its highest point.
As soon as the staff touched the ground, the pink energy was all poured into the ground and then rushed straight towards **Doctor Spectrum** and **Arcanna** in front, constantly stirring up mud on the way, just like sea waves on land.
Not only that, but there was also a faster attack that surpassed Gambit's energy shockwave, **Cyclops** adjusted the parameters of his visor with his right hand, and a ray far more powerful than before went straight to Doctor Spectrum and Arcanna.
Doctor Spectrum saw Cyclops coming aggressively and had no time to dodge. He could only build a shield of spectral energy as before. In case of emergency, Arcanna also used magic to reinforce it.
The crimson laser collided with the shield. Doctor Spectrum was secretly shocked that if Arcanna hadn't helped him reinforce it, his shield might have been penetrated the first time it came into contact with the laser.
Cyclops curled the corner of his mouth, revealing a disdainful smile, and increased the output of the laser again. Facing the more powerful laser, he destroyed the shield in an overwhelming manner. At the same time, Gambit's shock wave also arrived.
Arcanna only had time to put a layer of defensive magic on herself before being blasted into the sky by the shock wave. Doctor Spectrum didn't even have time to mobilize energy again. His battle suit was shattered and he fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.
"No!" **Power Princess**, who had been struck by lightning, recovered and saw the scene of her companion falling down. Just as she was about to rush over to save people, she was stopped by a tower-like man.
"You are not going anywhere." **Colossus** said in a deep voice, metal once again replaced flesh. After seeing Yang Le seriously injured, even he, who did not advocate violence, was already furious.
"Let me go!" Power Princess roared, and swung her right fist at Colossus. Although this punch was not as powerful as Hyperion's, it was also quite powerful, but Colossus faced the difficulty and also swung his right fist.
"Bang!"
Fist against fist, the most direct power collision without any skill. A dull sound like a bell rang out, and cracks of varying degrees appeared in the ground under Power Princess and Colossus.
Surprisingly. Neither of them retracted their arms after their fists collided. Instead, they kept hinting that strength meant another contest of strength. Power Princess gritted her teeth and kept shaking her body, using all her strength. Not to mention making Colossus take half a step back, she couldn't even shake his arm.
"You have tried your best, but I have only just begun."
Before Colossus finished speaking, his upper body had already pressed towards Power Princess. At the same time, his lower body was also moving. He strode forward and pushed Power Princess back continuously.
"Ugh!"
Power Princess finally couldn't hold on anymore. She retracted her right hand and wanted to get away, but Colossus seized the gap of force. His left hand, which had been waiting for a long time, directly grabbed Power Princess's head, and then planted her head into the ground, ignoring her struggle.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 433 X-Men VS Hyperion
The situation on the Battlefield was changing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, only Hyperion of the Supreme Squadron was left standing. But in fact, this last person standing was the most important, even more important than all the other members of the Supreme Squadron combined.
Cosmic Control gathered in Hyperion's fist. With a casual blow, Hyperion shattered the Lightning summoned by Storm in her rage. Watching his teammates fall one by one, he knew he couldn't delay any longer, or the situation might get even worse.
He abandoned his initial Goal and instead flew towards Cyclops and Gambit. Hyperion, descending from the Sky, first fired Atomic Ray to force back the two who were approaching Doctor Spectrum and Arcanna. After bringing his teammates to a safe Distance, he flew towards Colossus again.
Colossus, with the fearlessness of youth, faced Hyperion flying towards him without dodging or evading. He raised his hands, preparing to intercept Hyperion as he had dealt with Power Princess.
Facing the aggressive Colossus, Hyperion was somewhat hesitant. This wasn't because he feared Colossus, but because he was afraid of seriously injuring Colossus as well, just like Yang Le.
Originally, Hyperion hadn't actually used too much force against Yang Le. However, Swampfire's Talent was entirely focused on Recovery. His Defense Power couldn't be said to be non-existent, but it was negligible. Hyperion's slightly stronger Punch could shatter his Body.
Although his Body was shattered, there was actually no Damage at all. For Swampfire, this couldn't even be considered an injury.
However, Yang Le himself was perfectly clear about this, but others didn't know. Everyone present, without exception, thought Yang Le had been seriously injured.
Yang Le had already begun preparing to heal his Wound when he fell from the Sky. After being caught by Storm, he thought that playing dead might create an Opportunity for a Sneak Attack, so he didn't immediately recover and get up. He hadn't expected that this single thought would change the situation on the Battlefield.
Don't underestimate the few Mutants on the Battlefield. These people are the main force of the X-Men. Storm needs no further introduction, one of the few Omega-Level Mutants. In her prime, destroying Earth would be a snap of her fingers.
Cyclops Scott, if he released his Ability at full Power, also possessed the Strength to destroy a Planet. Gambit is also a powerful Mutant with the Old Joke of 'inverting the Earth and blowing it up'.
The honest Child Colossus is one of the few people on Earth who can directly confront Juggernaut. As for Magik, who hasn't joined the battle yet, she is even more heavyweight. In the Comics, she cuts down other Dimension Demon Gods to the point where they complain she is too strong.
If Yang Le remembered correctly, a Dimensional Demon God was even defeated by Magik in his own Dimension Force. As for which embarrassing thing it was, he couldn't quite remember. You should know that Dimensional Demon Gods have a home-field advantage in their own Dimension, and it's no exaggeration to say they are omnipotent. Even so, losing made Yang Le wonder if Magik was too strong or that guy was too incompetent.
These people are more than enough to deal with the Supreme Squadron. After all, the strongest in the Supreme Squadron is Hyperion. As expected, with the other Mutants exerting their Power, only Hyperion of the Supreme Squadron was left standing.
Seeing everyone working so hard because he was injured, Yang Le was actually a little embarrassed to get up. However, this last remaining Hyperion was not easy to deal with. He really had the Strength to take on everyone present single-handedly.
Yang Le in Swampfire State really couldn't do anything about Hyperion. There was no way around it, the Stats difference was just too great. Hyperion, this Character written based on Superman, was a pure Monster, possessing a beauty of Stats.
Wait? Stats Monster?
…
"Bang!"
Hyperion, being a little more cautious, was indeed blocked by Colossus. After a brief stalemate, Hyperion discovered that the Defense Power of the Iron Man in front of him was much stronger than the previous Swampfire. It could be said to be like Heaven and Ground.
The opponent was strong enough. Hyperion confidently increased his Strength. But the more he increased his Strength, the more surprised he became, because the Strength he was now using had far exceeded the Limit that Power Princess could withstand, but Colossus in front of him had obviously not reached his Limit yet.
Seeing this situation, Hyperion, who was always cautious in his daily Life, rarely let go and unleashed the Strength he had never dared to show before, opening up the Restriction.
Colossus gritted his Teeth. His current situation was the same as Power Princess's before, except this time he had become the weaker party. His Body, turned to Metal, continuously emitted teeth-aching sounds. Facing Hyperion, whose Strength was gradually increasing, Colossus, who had never encountered an opponent in terms of Strength, felt powerless for the first time.
Colossus was gradually falling into a disadvantage and would probably be defeated soon. But he was not alone. Illyana, who was watching the battle from the side and recovering her Stamina, once again drew her Soul Sword and used Light Disc to teleport herself behind Hyperion, preparing to help her Brother.
Hyperion knew that Magik's Greatsword was strange. Although he was confident in his Defense Power, he was unwilling to gamble at this time. He mobilized his whole Body's Muscle and actually pushed Colossus away, sending him flying.
Illyana's Sword missed. Seeing her Brother being swept away, she immediately became anxious, but then she heard someone call out to her from the side.
"Use your Ability to teleport me!" Cyclops quickly ran to Illyana's side. The latter immediately understood and waved her hand casually. A Light Disc appeared under Cyclops's feet. Cyclops fell into it and disappeared.
But the next second, he appeared in the Air, right behind Hyperion. Cyclops didn't waste Time, raised his Eyes, and fired a Laser directly into Hyperion's Back.
Hyperion also hadn't expected anyone to Sneak Attack him at this time. In pain, he released his Hand holding Colossus. Colossus, without Flight Ability, began to free fall from the Air towards the Ground.
Seeing this, Magik summoned two more Light Discs, one under Cyclops and one under Colossus, teleporting both of them back to the Ground, receiving them by her side.
"A novel experience." Scott steadied his Footsteps. He was still a little unaccustomed to the change from being directly in the Air to the Ground.
"Hope you like it." Illyana supported Colossus, showing a sweet Smile to Scott. At this time, the other Mutants also gathered around.
Ororo descended from High Altitude, holding Yang Le, who was missing half of his Body. The anxiety in her Gaze couldn't be hidden no matter what. Her voice trembled as she said, "Swampfire hasn't moved since just now."
"What?" Gambit, who had just run over, was shocked. He hurriedly rushed to Yang Le's side and found that, just as Ororo had said, Yang Le was indeed motionless with his Eyes closed.
He put his Ear to Yang Le's Chest, held his breath, and heard a faint vibration. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately straightened up and shouted.
"Quickly contact Jean Grey and have Beast bring the Aircraft over. Swampfire is dying!"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 434 X-Men VS Hyperion (2)
"You cannot leave."
Hyperion descended from the sky, looking slightly disheveled. The golden cape that had billowed behind him was now gone, discarded because Cyclops's attack had torn a large hole in it.
"Get out of our way," Gambit said, his eyes narrowed. One hand rested on Yang Le, while the other held a playing card crackling with magenta energy.
The others, though silent, displayed their abilities. Cyclops placed his hand on his visor, Illyana raised her Soul Greatsword, and Colossus silently held Yang Le in his arms, allowing Ororo to unleash her powers.
"This is a final warning, human vigilantes," Ororo threatened coldly. "If you continue to obstruct us, I won't guarantee my next attack will land on you or the city nearby."
The mutants indeed couldn't do much to Hyperion in a short time, but that didn't mean Hyperion was invincible, at least he wasn't without concerns.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to start a war, mutant?" Hyperion asked in surprise, looking at Ororo. Seeing her resolute expression, Hyperion realized she was serious.
"Humans are the ones who always want to start wars!"
Ororo became very agitated upon hearing Hyperion's words. For Ororo, who had experienced human experiment and imprisonment, humans were the oppressors.
But Hyperion didn't know any of this. Although emotional instability in the face of injured compatriot was understandable, using innocent lives as a threat so casually made Hyperion equate Ororo with a criminal in his mind.
"I can hear your compatriot's heartbeat," Hyperion said, glancing at Yang Le in Colossus's arms. His Eternal physique, enhanced by cosmic energy, allowed him to hear heartbeats without being close.
Among the faster heartbeats, only one was faint. That must be Yang Le, who was missing a shoulder. However, Hyperion was puzzled. Yang Le's heartbeat sounded strange. He had heard heartbeats of severely injured patients before, but never like Yang Le's. Unable to understand, Hyperion could only attribute it to Yang Le's special physique, after all, he had never seen a vegetative state patient either.
The roar of an engine. Hyperion looked up and saw a flying vehicle with a peculiar shape. It was probably the reinforcements the mutants had called for. However, Hyperion didn't care. Even Howard Stark, with his Iron Ambition and technology level, could only rely on some tricks to give him a headache. He didn't think Earth's current technology level was worth his attention.
"Cyclops, how is Swampfire's state?" Jean's voice came through the communicator, losing its usual leisurely tone. It was clear she was also very anxious.
Swampfire was Yang Le's code name, just like Cyclops or Gambit. They usually used code names during missions. Gambit had originally wanted to give Yang Le one, but Yang Le had declined his good intention and used his real name as his code name.
"Not good," Cyclops said, placing his hand on Yang Le's chest, feeling the faint heartbeat. "I don't know how much longer he can last."
Jean, sitting in the co-pilot seat of the aircraft, hesitated for a second, then finally made up her mind and said, "Take care of Swampfire. I'll handle that guy."
"What?" Cyclops looked up at the aircraft in surprise. "Wait, Jean!"
Hyperion frowned slightly. With his hearing, he could of course hear Jean and Scott's conversation. Before he could figure out how Jean was going to help them, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.
"Ugh!" Hyperion clutched his head, looking at the aircraft hovering in the air in shock. "Another telepath?"
After the 616 Event, human disgust for mutants rose to a new level. Mutants with almost all abilities were labeled as pests. But just like pests come in different kinds, humans also voted on mutants with different abilities.
Among them, telepaths and those with psychic power undoubtedly came out on top thanks to Professor X's efforts, giving people a clear awareness of the danger posed not only by mutants, but by all superhumans.
It was said that because of the 616 Event, many voices advocating superhuman regulation appeared among the general public, and the momentum was growing. Of course, there were those who agreed and those who opposed.
Because in the 616 Event, many superheroes stood up to protect the general public, and superheroes generally hid their identities for fear of revenge on their loved ones or causing trouble to their life. Those who received protection shouldn't create trouble for those who provided protection.
On the topic of superhuman regulation, the two sides intensified their arguments on the network, but the government official pretended to be dead at this time, as if everything happening online didn't exist. In the end, no matter how much those without power argued, it was useless. Time eventually diluted everything.
But the general public's fear of mutants with telepathy and psychic power was deeply ingrained. As long as similar mutants appeared, if Magneto and the others didn't find them first, there was an 80% chance that all they would see was a corpse.
Scott had already collected the corpses of four compatriots who were said to have telepathy. Once, he lost control and beat up a police officer because Hank had decrypted the video recording from the police department interrogation room and found that the police officer had abused the deceased mutant before his death. Because of this, he and Gambit were cornered by the army in the police department.
In the end, Magneto came to bail them out. Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to kill that police officer. Magneto used the guns of the arriving army and all the sidearms in the police department to execute that bastard. In the end, the forensic doctor only found a small amount of human body tissue in the large number of bullets, not even an ounce when weighed.
Not only that, Magneto also cut off one hand of the police department chief on the grounds of ineffective supervision. Faced with Magneto's oppression, the government showed no reaction, pretending to be dead again. Even though such a big commotion was made, there was not a single report, and no news could be seen on the network, as if nothing had really happened.
Since then, Scott had understood that only a big enough fist was the real reason. To protect Jean in this society, he had to become strong enough.
But Scott was not strong enough now. He couldn't make a nation blind on his own. At this time, Jean revealing her existence was undoubtedly dangerous, which was why he was so anxious when he heard Jean was going to use her ability.
"Ugh!" Hyperion's ask was not answered. Jean only intensified the torment on his brain. At this moment, Beast's voice appeared on the communication channel.
"Don't waste time. Let's run while Jean holds him back."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 435 From the Sky
While Hyperion was clutching his head and groaning in pain, Beast Hank quietly maneuvered the Aircraft to land not far from Scott and the others. Scott, most worried about Jean, of course wouldn't waste time and quickly gathered everyone to rush towards the Aircraft.
"Hurry, Scott," Jean's voice sounded in the Communicator. She sounded strained, as if she were dragging something heavy.
"I feel... I'm about to... lose it."
"Whoosh!"
The Sound of Air Being Torn came, and an orange-yellow Ray streaked across the eyes of Scott and the others, plowing a deep gully in the Ground. Following the Direction of the Ray, they saw that Hyperion was indeed clutching his Head and staring at them.
"He broke free from Jean's Mental Abilities so quickly?" Gambit looked at Hyperion in Surprise. "How is this possible?"
"Obviously, he used the Power of Magic," Illyana pointed to Hyperion's Head. "Look at his Forehead."
Reminded by Illyana, the others then saw a Circle Magic Array with strange patterns floating in front of Hyperion's Forehead. The patterns on the Magic Array were still changing rhythmically.
"Could it be..." Gambit suddenly thought of something, withdrew his gaze and looked to the other side. Sure enough, Arcanna, who had just been defeated by him and Scott together, had now woken up.
The disheveled Arcanna was now extremely grateful for her quick reflexes, being able to release Defensive Magic before being hit by the Attack. Thanks to the Defensive Magic, Arcanna had actually never passed out. She had only been pretending to be unconscious in order to wait for a time when she was needed.
"Phew~" Hyperion let out a long breath. This was why he had to be strong but still create the Supreme Squadron. After all, even he had things he couldn't do.
Just like what had just happened, if it weren't for Arcanna's Magic help, he would have definitely capsized in the gutter today.
"They're as troublesome as dog shit!" Gambit cursed in a low voice.
"Illyana," Colossus whispered. "Can your Ability directly teleport us back to Floating Island?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. That's right! Illyana had just demonstrated an Ability similar to Spatial Teleportation, maybe she could take everyone away directly.
"If I could, I would have done it already, Brother," Illyana said with a wry smile. "But I don't know where the Floating Island you're talking about is at all, so I can't teleport."
Illyana had been thinking about teleporting back to the Factory after getting on the Airplane, and then bringing Megan along, but now even the first step of the Plan couldn't be completed.
"FK!" Gambit drew Playing Cards. "The worst case, we'll just fight him!"
Scott didn't have a better Method for a while, so he could only say to the Communicator, "Beast, contact Principal and tell him the original situation. We'll find a way to hold off the enemy."
"Roger," Beast replied.
"Get ready, everyone," Scott took a deep breath. "We're preparing to face the enemy!"
Seeing the Mutants getting into position, Hyperion also decided to get serious. Firstly, to complete the Mission, and secondly, although they were enemies, Yang Le's Injury really couldn't be delayed any longer. He had to quickly arrest these stubbornly resisting Guys and send Yang Le for medical treatment.
Hyperion had been using his hearing to pay attention to Yang Le's heartbeat, and found that although his heartbeat was weak, he was still alive. Even Hyperion was Surprised by Yang Le's Life Force, which was like a weed.
Just as a great battle was about to break out, Hyperion suddenly raised his Head. Just as Scott and the others didn't understand why, Ororo also raised her Head.
"Something's coming," Ororo said with a solemn Expression. Unlike Hyperion, who had superhuman hearing, she, who could manipulate the weather, felt something falling towards them through her Ability.
"It's here," Hyperion suddenly said.
"Boom!"
A Shadow descended from the Sky at an extremely fast Speed, and then smashed straight into the Ground. After the deafening Sound, the huge Impact Force destroyed the Ground surface, setting off dust and smoke that filled the sky, obscuring everything for a while.
Seeing this scene, Hyperion held out his hands and then clapped them hard in front of his Chest. The violent Gale instantly blew away the dust and smoke, and the Figures of Scott and the others reappeared in front of him. Not only that, but a Guy was squatting a hundred meters away from them.
When the Guy slowly stood up, Hyperion could see his appearance clearly. He had to admit that the other party was very handsome, tall and sturdy. The Muscle hidden under the black and white Tight Suit was not at all inferior to his own, and the Symbol on his Chest, like an hourglass, was very three-dimensional.
"Hello, Humans," The Guy ignored Hyperion and turned to greet Cyclops and the others. However, even Gambit, who was relatively outgoing, didn't pay attention to him at this time.
"This is?" The Guy saw Yang Le, who was being held in Colossus's arms, at a glance. The next second, in front of everyone's Eyes, the Guy disappeared without a trace.
"He looks seriously injured."
Colossus looked down and found that the Guy had arrived beside him at some point. Scott and the others around him were also startled and showed their Abilities, aiming at the Guy.
"Get away from him!" Ororo's Eyes were filled with white Energy, scaring the Guy so much that he quickly gave a French military salute.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," the Guy exclaimed. "Don't be so excited, I just want to help. After all, he looks like he's about to die."
"Do you have a Method to save him?" Because she wasn't very familiar with Yang Le, the more Reason-minded Illyana immediately noticed the blind spot.
"I've seen similar Creatures, so I think I should be able to do it," The Guy nodded.
"You can test whether what I'm saying is true or false, but I want to remind you that your Partner is dying."
When Ororo heard the Guy say this, she hurriedly approached Yang Le, put her Head to Yang Le's Chest, and after a brief listen, showed an Expression of almost crying.
"He's right, his heartbeat is even weaker," Ororo cried with joy, Tears constantly sliding from her Eyes.
Everyone was in chaos. At this time, Scott still stood out. After a brief thought, he said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, but if you're lying to us, then you'd better be prepared to bear the Rage of the Mutants."
"It's really nice to have Friends like you," The Guy ignored Scott's threat and disappeared from everyone's Eyes again, but returned in just a short moment, but this time with a Sapling on his Shoulder.
"Put him on the Ground," The Guy commanded Colossus to put Yang Le on the Ground, and then pointed the Tree Root side of the Sapling at the opening in Yang Le and inserted it.
In the Surprised gazes of everyone, Yang Le's Body began to connect with the Sapling. In just a few seconds, they were connected together. Ororo quickly rushed to Yang Le and bent down to listen to his heartbeat again.
"It's working, his heartbeat is stronger than before," Ororo cried with joy, Tears constantly sliding from her Eyes.
"This Injury is really serious. I really don't know which inhuman Guy could do such a thing," The Guy wiped non-existent sweat, as if mentioning it unintentionally.
"It was me," Hyperion's voice came from the side. Because of the rescue, he hadn't attacked Scott and the others all this time.
The Guy looked at Hyperion, sized him up and down, and said, "Eternal?"
Some Mutants didn't know what the Guy meant, but Hyperion's Expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you know where I come from?"
"Know a little," The Guy crossed his arms. "It seems that all Eternals are the same, cruel. Thanos is not an exception."
"He's the one who hurt you, right?" The Guy turned to look at Scott and the others. Illyana's eyes rolled around and she immediately nodded.
"Okay then," Yang Le, who had become a Kryptonian, showed a faint smile. "It seems I have another Reason to punch Eternals."
