"Ears, are you ready to protect your people?"

As he said this, Patch's eyes seemed to brighten suddenly, and he looked intently at Earls, who was standing at the bottom of the high platform, and his expression of interest seemed to be waiting for his answer.

However, after listening to Patch's very informative words, Earls did not react immediately, but was stunned for a moment.

"The planet has changed dramatically? Will there be a lot of people like me? ”

Although Earls also guessed that he was not the only special being on Earth, the big bomb that Patch dropped on him at this time still made him a little relieved for a while.

It's just that after getting through the initial shock, Earls immediately regained his composure, raised his eyes and glanced at Patch, who was sitting cross-legged on the high platform, and smiled secretly and was relieved.

"I've seen and touched even the real gods with my own eyes, and what else is there that I can't accept?"

It's just that even so, the doubts in Earles' heart at this time have not diminished at all.

Looking up at Patchy, who radiated the holy radiance around him, after a moment's hesitation, he quickly called out to Patch.

"Your Majesty."

"Hmm."

Patch replied lightly, he naturally knew what Earls was thinking at this time, and said without hesitation: "If you have any doubts, you can just ask me questions." ”

Earls nodded slightly, and then quickly opened his mouth to ask: "Your Majesty, according to what you said, although there are many people like me who will awaken supernatural abilities, I don't think there is anything wrong with this, they with extraordinary powers must have enough ability to protect themselves." ”

"And it's hard for me to figure out their exact numbers and abilities, if there are a large number of them, I'm afraid with my ability is not enough to protect them."

"Earls, you're being too presumptuous."

However, after listening to Earles's words, Patch chuckled and shook his head, and then slowly said, "I'm afraid you don't know what kind of terrifying abilities you have now, do you?" ”

Glancing at Earls, who looked even more confused, Patch continued to open his mouth and said, "Although your current strength is not too strong compared to me, in the eyes of those ordinary people, if you show your full strength, I am afraid it is not much different from the gods. ”

"Moreover, the biggest reason why I asked you to be the guardian of those recently awakened little ones is not for you to protect them, what you really need to do is ......"

As he spoke, Patch's tone suddenly became a little heavier: "Organize and control them, don't let them cause harm to ordinary people because of their own abilities." ”

"Organize and control them?" Earls asked again in confusion.

"Yes."

Patch nodded emphatically, and then explained to him: "Ears, can you imagine what will happen to a person who was originally extremely ordinary and ordinary suddenly gained a powerful power far beyond his imagination? ”

Hearing Patch's rhetorical question, a terrifying thought popped up in Earls's mind, and after more than ten seconds of silence, he suddenly said in a terrifying voice: "Your Majesty, you mean, they are likely to ......"

But before Earls could say what he was about to say, he was interrupted by Patch's sudden voice.

"That's right!"

With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Patch looked at Earls with great kindness, and said aloud, "Earls, just as you think. ”

"A person who was originally ordinary but suddenly gained great power, if this person was good-natured, maybe nothing would have happened, but what if this person was originally a person full of sin?"

"Then after gaining power, this person will inevitably cause incalculable harm to ordinary people, the place where he is, and possibly the whole world because of his own desires~."

"Earls."

Hearing Patch's call, Earls hurriedly raised his head to meet his pure and immaculate eyes, and at the same time, Patch's next words rang in his ears: "And I, I need you to help me eliminate these evil people, and lead those good people to gradually adapt to their own strength, and protect this world with them." So Earles, I'm going to ask you again now......"

"Are you ready to protect your people and the world?"

As his blue eyes stared at Earls standing below, Patch couldn't help but have some small anticipation in his heart, and he was eager to know what choice Earls would make.

If he chooses to say yes, then he will completely say goodbye to the solitary life he had lived in the dark of New York for some time, and instead lead some people he has never met before, complete strangers.

Relying on the experiences of the real mutant leaders such as Dr. X and Magneto in his previous life, Patch knew that in the process, Earls would definitely encounter countless difficulties and dangers.

All in all, it's destined to be a thorny road.

And if Earls chooses to refuse, then he will continue with his unchanging but meaningful life without encountering unforeseen hardships.

Now, it's up to him to decide!

Although Patch was indeed able to control Earls's mind and make him make the choice he wanted, it was clear that this was not what Patchy wanted, and if he did control Earls's mind and force him to make the opposite choice, then what Patch was doing now would be completely meaningless.

So, Patch waited, waiting for Earls to say what was in his heart.

Earls's brow furrowed, and it could be seen that he was very struggling right now, he'd hesitate to accept or reject, and it was clear that he knew what he would face if he accepted it.

There was silence for a long time, and there was no sound around him except for the laughter of the little angels flying in the sky, but the quiet environment still could not calm Earls's mind, and he still hesitated.

And Patch, who was sitting on the high platform, also kept staring at Earls, and time passed slowly and unconsciously, and finally, as if Patch had noticed something, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little, revealing a relieved smile.

Looking down at his gaze, I saw that Earls, who was originally hesitant, seemed to have suddenly realized, and his expression suddenly became resolute.

Slowly raising his head, Earls looked at Patch's gentle face, nodded very firmly, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I think I have made my decision. ”

"I decided to take it!"

Earls's last sentence was as loud as if every word had exhausted all his strength.

And the smile on Patchy's face even brighter after hearing him finish his incomparably firm answer.

Nodding his head in relief, Patch smiled and said, "Good, Ears, you made the right decision. It's just ......"

As he spoke, Patch's voice suddenly changed: "After you make this decision, you will definitely encounter difficulties that you have never encountered before, I hope that no matter when you can stick to the decision you made today, uphold your heart, I hope that when I see you again in the future, I can still see your firmness and determination at this time." ”

"I'm sure so, Your Majesty." Earls nodded again.

"I hope so."

Patch smiled flatly, and then said, "Get ready for the obstacles you'll face next!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that Patch's right hand on his knee suddenly raised, and the raised right hand gently waved the wide sleeve, and suddenly saw a bright white light above the sky dome fall on Earls in the blink of an eye.

"Go ahead! Go and meet your mission! ”

As Patch's last voice fell into his ears, Earls only felt that the heavens and the earth began to rotate, and his eyes were blurred, light and darkness were staggered, and the high-speed rotation made Earls feel a little nauseous, and he quickly closed his eyes to reduce this feeling a little.

"Bang!"

When the spinning sensation died down and his feet were back on the ground, Earls slowly opened his eyes.

Familiar streets, familiar dark corners, and around that corner there was a black guy who looked like he was in a coma.

Seeing this scene, Earls couldn't help but quickly raise his hand to look at the watch on his left hand, but this look made his eyes widen instantly.

"Nine-eleven? How can it be? I remember it was nine o'clock when I knocked this guy unconscious, and I couldn't have been in that god's world for so long, it couldn't have been just a minute! ”

While muttering softly, Earls glanced at the black guy in the corner.

However, after saying these words, Earls couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.

"Could it be that what I just experienced was just a hallucination of mine?"

As soon as he blurted out the words, Earls quickly shook his head again, "It can't be an illusion, my memories there are so real, it definitely can't be an illusion." And ......"

"If it's an illusion, then where does my ability come from?"

Howls, who had been freed from his doubts, quickly regained his previous determined look, his dark and bright eyes looked at the bright street in the distance, smiled and muttered softly again:

"Protect my people and the world? Your Majesty, I'll do it. ”

After saying this, Earls took off his hood and set out into the street that was lit with various lights, until he was completely invisible in the crowd.

…………

On the other side, in the white and holy half-plane, after Patch waved his hand to summon a pillar of light to send Earls away, his figure sitting on the high platform immediately turned into a little light and disappeared without a trace.

Passing through the barriers of the world, as the first holy light appeared on a certain level of the wizard's tower, countless points of light gathered together in an instant, condensing into the form of Patch.

It's just that the robe he was wearing at this time turned from the previous white to a pure black.

When the barefoot Patch landed on the ground, he quickly surveyed all the corners of the level.

As far as the eye can see, countless metal round platforms covered with strange runes are distributed all over Datong, and on these round platforms are filled with all kinds of strange instruments and materials.

"I've made a formal deal with Dormammu, and while I don't trust what he promised me, at least my original purpose has been achieved."

"And just now, the little guy Earls has already made his decision."

"Everything is ready, the next thing to do is to find all the people on the planet with X genes and let them awaken their own abilities."

As he spoke, Patch slowly walked to a round platform in the center of Datong, and reached out to pick up something like a pale silver metal ball on the round platform.

"In a situation where I can't go around the world to unlock their talents one by one, the only way to do this is to make a sorcery tool that can find them all, and once all the mutants are successfully found, then everything that follows will be easy to do."

After saying these words with a slight frown, Patch suddenly froze in place, then suddenly looked down at the ground and called out a name in a low voice:

"Orianna ......"

Patch's voice was not loud, but it was heard by a special sorcery through the barriers of ground and space to the ears of Oriona, who was on the first floor of the wizard's tower.

"Oriana, come to me quickly, and the Spirit of the Tower will tell you where I am."

After hearing Patch's command, Oriana's blue eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly put down her things and walked to the spiral staircase at the back of the hall.

…………

"Master."

Pacy, who was staring at the magical metal that was slowly melting into liquid in the small furnace in front of him, knew that Orianna had arrived when he heard the greeting and footsteps coming from behind him.

"Hmm."

After softly agreeing, Patch quickly stretched out his hand and pointed to a metal round platform not far from him, and commanded, "Oriana, there are some soul crystals on that round platform, you purify them and make them into powder, and then make magic ink." ”

"I've already left the specific configuration method on the round platform, and it's not the first time you've done these things, so don't make a mistake, I'll use the configured magic ink later."

"Yes, master."

Oriona nodded mechanically, and hurriedly walked over to the metal round table that Patch had just pointed to, and quickly followed the steps left on the table.

And just as Orianna urged the magic flame to incinerate and purify the soul crystal, Patch on the other side was still staring intently at the magic metal in the small furnace.

The pale silver metal gradually transformed into a liquid form under the incineration of the flames, and rolled down into the grooves that had been placed around the furnace.

As the metal turned into a liquid state, Patch reached out and quickly sprinkled some black powder into it, and looking at his extremely painful expression, it could be guessed that these black powders must be something extremely rare.

When the black powder falls into the liquid metal like mercury, it quickly melts away, as if there is no trace of what it once was.

A few hours passed silently, and when only the last bit of fist-sized magical metal remained solid, Patch slowly straightened up a little and asked Oriana beside him:

"Oriana, how's it going? Is the magic ink already done? ”

"Master, it's almost finished, and there are still two last steps left."

Receiving Oriana's response, Patch nodded his head and spoke up again, "Okay, don't worry, I don't want the slightest deviation in quality. ”

"Yes, master."

Dozens of minutes passed, and Patch was still staring at the magic metal on the small stove, and his right hand was constantly placing an unknown black powder into the pale silver metal that had melted into a liquid state.

When the last bit of magic metal, about the size of a bean, had completely melted and rolled into the groove next to him, and the black powder in Patch's hand had been completely used up, he finally straightened up and exclaimed, "It's finally all right." ”

Immediately, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Oriana, who was already serving on the side, and ordered, "Oriana, give me the magic ink!" ”
