Livagya Palace, located in Yalta on the Crimean peninsula on the territory of present-day Ukraine. Its name comes from the ancient Greek word meaning "entrance to heaven".

It is a rococo palace that looks like a white cake from a distance.

At the end of World War II, the heads of state of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union held the "Yalta Conference" here that shook the world.

Looking at the white palace, Tang Lang released his Yuan Shen. He wanted to probe some of the inside of the Livajiya Palace.

He wanted to see if there was anyone special inside.

-- Special people, of course, are high-ranking Soviet military and political officials, or mutants.

At this time, Tang Lang, Mora McTagg, Professor X Charles, Magneto Eric, the Beast Hank McCoy, Raven Darkholm, Wolverine Logan, Shockwave Alex Sams, and Sonic Seasy Cassidy, a total of nine people, were quietly hiding in the jungle.

"How?"

Charles, who was lying on his stomach in the grass on the side, looked a little anxious.

Although Charles also has telepathic superpowers, he is obviously not as powerful as Tang Lang's primordial spirit.

He had to infiltrate someone else's brain by invading his own primordial spirit and hypnotizing that person's consciousness so that he could see everything around him through the eyes of others.

And once Tang Lang's Yuan Shen was out of his body, the places he traveled through were as if a video recorder had captured a video, completely reflecting all the scenes in his mind, allowing him to see all the places he passed through clearly.

"In the Livagya Palace, there are no special people except for the guards and some office staff and support staff. There are no mutants in it either......"

Tang Lang whispered to everyone while thinking.

Charles asked, "Don, have you already hacked into their brains?" ”

"Yes."

"However, they don't seem to know about Sebastian Shaw's movements. Perhaps, the KGB officer in charge of the connection with Shaw did not tell them what was about to happen. ”

Listening to Tang Lang's words, Charles muttered: "Could it be that Sebastian Shaw has not yet reached the territory of the Soviet Union?" Or would he not have come to the Livajiya Palace on the Black Sea at all? ”

According to intelligence from CIA agents, the KGB officer in charge of the connection with Sebastian Shaw, Ramon Mercad, was ready to invite him on a luxury cruise ship to enjoy the scenery of the Black Sea. -- I want to tell you that this information comes from within the KGB......"

Everyone listened to Mora McTag and understood what she meant.

Clearly, the C.I.A. had succeeded in plotting against a Soviet KGB spy. Therefore, the information obtained by the CIA should be infallible.

"Perhaps, Ramon Mercade and Sebastian Shaw are playing in the Black Sea. It's almost noon now, and perhaps, by the afternoon, they'll be back. Tang Lang said.

The Beast Hank McCoy asked, "So what do we do next?" ”

Magneto Eric looked at the Livagia Palace not far in front of him and said, "I think it is better for us to take this white palace at once, and sit inside and wait for Sebastian Shaw to arrive." ”

"Wait for work, I'll see it!"

Tang Lang first agreed.

He knew the combat strength of their group of nine, and if they were to capture Livajiya Palace silently, it would be effortless.

"Still, we try not to kill people as much as possible! -- I want all of us to be able to do that. Hank, Logan, especially the two of you, need to keep your anger under control. ”

Charles's mercy has long been taught by everyone.

Therefore, no one was surprised to hear Charles say this.

The beast Hank McCoy and Wolverine Logan also nodded.

"In that case," Tang Lang said to Charles, "then you should first let the patrol soldiers on the periphery and the Soviet soldiers guarding around the Livajia Palace let them be confused and sleep for a while." ”

"Hmm."

Charles nodded.

In front of them, there were exactly a couple of patrolling Soviet soldiers.

One by one, Charles invaded their brains, hypnotized them, and put them to sleep quickly.

Looking at the Soviet soldiers patrolling the periphery of the Livajia Palace, they fell to the ground one by one and fell asleep, before Tang Lang, Charles and others stood up from the grass.

A group of nine of them continued towards the Livajia Palace.

-- It's like being in a no-man's land.

Soviet guards also stood around the Livagya Palace and in front of the gates. Charles concocted it according to the law and hypnotized them all, making them fall to the ground and fall asleep.

The nine of them easily entered the Livajiya Palace and quickly subdued all the personnel in the palace.

They completed the attack without a word.

The palace of Livajia is tall and spacious, and the white walls of the hall are beautifully decorated, with a large round table in the center, covered with a light gray tablecloth, and surrounded by a dozen wooden chairs with cotton cushions.

Looking at the round table, Tang Lang said to everyone: "I think back then, Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin sat at this round table to negotiate. Come, let's all sit down too. ”

Everyone was feeling tired, and after listening to Tang Lang's words, they all sat on the wooden chairs next to the round table.

Looking at the decorations on the surrounding walls, everyone was amazed.

At this moment, Tang Lang suddenly heard the roar of a motor, coming from far and near.

"Sebastian Shaw is here!"

That was Mora McTag's first reaction.

Everyone was a little flustered for a while.

"No, it's not Xiao, it's the Iron Man!"

When Charles heard the roar of the motor, he quickly used his telepathic skills to detect the identity of the visitor.

"Iron Man!?"

The crowd obviously didn't know about such a person.

Tang Lang also used his Yuan Shen to invade the Iron Man's brain and learned everything about him.

"Nikoas Romanov, a Russian mutant from a collective farm near Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia, who was able to instantly transform his body into steel form, has now joined Sebastian Shaw's brotherhood."

After listening to Tang Lang's words, Wolverine Logan said: "It seems that Xiao has also snagged a lot of mutants. ”

Charles continued: "I have read the thoughts and memories of the Iron Man, and Sebastian Shaw has come to the Black Sea. Now, Shaw is on a Soviet cruise ship in the Black Sea, meeting with KGB officer Ramon Mercade. I think he should have teleported directly from the United States to Yalta on the Black Sea. There are only three people with Xiao: the White Queen, the Red Devil, and the Tornado. The rest didn't seem to have brought it, and should have been hiding in their lair. ”

Tang Lang said: "Spirit Butterfly, Fire Man, Iceman, these three mutants, none of them appeared. The Red Devil kidnapped Marilyn Monroe, and the three men may be guarding her in the brotherhood's lair. -- The liaison between Shaw and the KGB was Nicholas Romanov, the Iron Man. ”

Mora McTag asked, "Is the Iron Man the only one who came back?" ”

Charles replied, "No." He came back by airboat. He returned with a KGB spy. They must have gone to the Livajia Palace to arrange for the food and lodging of Sebastian Shaw and the others. ”

"He's here just in time. We captured this man alive and asked him to take us to Shaw's location. Mora McTag said happily.

Magneto said, "...... First, we're going to get rid of the White Queen, Emma Frost. With this person, neither Charles nor Don's mind could penetrate the barrier she had set up and invade Sebastian Shaw's brain. ”

After listening to Magneto's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

While everyone was talking, heavy footsteps sounded outside the gates of the Livajiya Palace.

Tang Lang, Charles and a group of nine people couldn't help but stand up from the chairs next to the round table and looked at the door of Lihuajia Palace.

"What nonsense! Now the guards are becoming more and more unpleasant, standing guard in broad daylight, not standing guard well, and even sleeping one by one! ”

A gruff voice rang out from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a huge figure walking into the Livajiya Palace.

He was burly, with short black hair, a round face and no beard, blue eyes, blazing eyes, and a wide trench coat, which was extremely unsuitable for his temperament.

He was, of course, the Iron Man Nikolas Romanoff.

He was accompanied by a lean thin man, who was naturally a KGB spy.

The two men, one tall and fat, the other short and thin, stood together rather comically funny.

As soon as he raised his eyes and saw Tang Lang and the other nine people standing in the hall of Livajia Palace, the iron man Nikolas Romanov was taken aback, his body almost instinctively turned into a steel form, and his blue eyes instantly turned silver.

- As a Russian mutant, Nicholas Romanov, the Iron Man, was able to instantly transform all the tissues of his body into a steel-like substance, resulting in extraordinary physical strength and strong defense, capable of resisting ballistic penetration and extreme temperature changes.

Of course, the steel-like substance is not steel, but a carbon steel similar to osmium. Osmium is the densest of the metal elements, and it is composed of the second densest iridium "osmium-iridium alloy", which is extremely hard.

After Nicholas the Iron Man instantly transforms into a steel form, he is able to have the flexibility of his normal state. And, unless he consciously recovers, he will remain in this state of steel. And if he is unconscious, he will automatically return to his normal form.

Both Tang Lang and Charles can control the Iron Man Nicholas through the invasion of their minds. Magneto Eric is the nemesis of the Iron Man.

However, none of the three of them made a move against the Iron Man.

In Charles's heart, he had already made a calculation. He wanted the beasts Hank McCoy, Wolverine Logan, Blaster Alex Samus and Sonic Cassidy to pit off against Nicholas the Iron Man and train their offensive abilities.

In fact, Wolverine Logan is relatively good at attacking, and has experienced countless vicious battles in his life. However, Tang Lang and Charles both wanted to see if Wolverine Logan's Edman alloy spike could penetrate the Iron Man's body.
