Chapter 21: I finally remembered that this was the Marvel world
Let's put the movie aside for a moment, because there is something more important that has happened, which is related to the safety of the whole planet.
On that day, the entire planet was filled with a strong aura of death, and the death of the Supreme Mage Ancient One attracted the arrival of the goddess of death, an atmosphere that made many powerful people tremble.
For example, Professor X, he was restless for most of the day, although he didn't know what made him feel so frightened, but as the strongest psychic ability on the earth, a fourth-level mutant, Professor Xavier would never ignore his "whim".
"Is there something going on?" Professor Xavier pondered to himself, wondering if he should gather his X-Team.
But there was one man who was much more decisive than he was.
Although Wolverine Logan is only a third-level mutant, his beast-like intuition and his identity as an immortal make him always sensitive to the breath of death, of course, Logan usually only smells death in other people, but today, he suddenly found that there was something wrong with his nose, because in his senses, the entire earth was wrapped in death.
"Professor!" So Logan broke into Professor Xavier's office. "I feel like something isn't quite right."
"It seems that your beastly instincts are not useless." Professor Xavier's office was filled with a few more uninvited guests.
"Magneto! What are you doing here? Logan jerked out his Wolverine claws, and at Magneto's side, Logan's brother, Vicz the saber-toothed tiger, also poked out his sharp claws and blocked between Magneto and Logan.
But is Magneto the kind of being that needs to be protected? He patted the sabertooth on the shoulder and motioned for him to step back, although Logan's strength was the strongest in the X-Men, but the metal skeleton of that body was also destined to make him the least threatening one for Magneto.
"I'm not here to go to war with you, calm down, Logan." Compared to Logan's undisguised hostility, Magneto never really wanted to be hostile to Logan, with his ability, he really wanted to attack Logan, and Wolverine had to spend his life in death and resurrection while Magneto was still alive.
"Okay Logan, the problem now is that breath of death, and we can put aside other grudges for a while." Xavier is probably the person who understands Magneto in the world, and vice versa, so the X-Men and the Mutant Brotherhood, although always at odds, are not mortal enemies.
But both of them are too confident and selfish to cooperate, walking on two different paths for the same purpose.
"Victor senses that dangerous aura too, so we're here to see what special insights you have." Magneto ignored Logan and turned to Xavier.
"You're the same, just here to ask me about this?" But Xavier ignored Magneto and said to the demon girl beside him.
"I'm really happy to see this room again." The Shapeshifter is no longer the sentimental girl, although she still has deep feelings for Xavier, but the difference in philosophy is a helpless fact, she is no longer the little girl who follows her brother.
"I've kept that room of yours, and I haven't even changed the furniture." Xavier began his plan to persuade his sister to come back for an unknown number of times.
But Magneto didn't care, the relationship between him and Xavier was too complicated, and this kind of digging into each other's walls was just a small fight.
"Since you still have the heart to joke with us, that means there's nothing to worry about this incident?" Magneto was going to leave, and this school didn't give him a good sense.
"No, it's actually threatening more than I can do." Professor Xavier smiled wryly.
"Can you imagine? The minds of all human beings are filled with the smell of death, and in my eyes, it is not unusual for all human beings to die in the next second. Professor Xavier spread his hands, although he was the most powerful mutant on the planet, he was helpless against such an out-of-spec event.
"......" Everyone present was silent, Professor Xavier has always been a solid backing for mutants, and if he would say such self-defeating words, it would show that the situation is indeed not optimistic.
"Professor! Jean she ...... "Laser-eyed Scott burst into Professor Xavier's office with obvious panic in his tone, but he froze when he could see who was in the room.
Although he knew that Magneto was not a "mortal enemy", but after fighting each other so many times, Scott was still very jealous of this old man, to put it bluntly, after being hung and beaten many times, Scott had a reflexive fear of Magneto.
"What's wrong with Jean?" Professor Xavier asked earnestly, Jean was the most potential and dangerous mutant he had ever seen, and Xavier had been very careful with this student.
"Jean ......" Scott glanced at the Magneto trio, who shook his head and motioned for him to continue.
Magneto is also very interested in Jean, and has always regarded it as the future of mutants.
"Jean didn't go out today, so we planned to go and see what was going on, but when we opened the door, we saw Jean huddled under the quilt and shivering, muttering something like 'death' and 'she's coming' and other meaningless words." Scott looked at Professor Xavier expectantly, as the old man always solved everything.
But now Professor Xavier frowned, sighed, and said, "It seems that Jean is the one who is most affected, let's go over and take a look." He only hoped now that the fear didn't stir up the demon in his students' hearts.
When everyone came to Jean's room and saw that Jean was indeed trembling wrapped in sheets, Magneto frowned, Jean was his most optimistic junior, but now he was like this, which made him a little annoyed.
"Xavier, is this the educational philosophy you have always adhered to? Raise your student, the most promising among us, into such a coward? Magneto's accusations angered Scott and Logan, but the two who wanted to go berserk were stopped by the beast.
"Magneto, we're not here today to quarrel." The beast warned Magneto, though he knew the other party wouldn't care.
But Magneto didn't mind giving his old friend a face, and snorted twice, but finally stopped.
"Jean." Xavier didn't even listen carefully to what Magneto said, he was using his ability to help Jean share that fear, but he soon found that even he, who had suffered too much emotion since childhood, could not bear that fear.
Sweat streamed from Professor Xavier's forehead, "Logan, Eric, I need your help. ”
"What are we going to do?" Logan and Magneto glanced at each other and decided to put aside their personal grievances for the time being, of course, it was just that Logan unilaterally thought so, and Magneto never felt that he had a grudge with Wolverine.
"Let go of my mind, I will connect the spirits of everyone in the room, and let all of us face the being that Jean is facing." Professor Xavier's proposal was consistently approved, and even the saber-toothed tiger let go of his mind under Magneto's gaze.
"Hmm!" Then Scott, who had the weakest human perseverance in the field, knelt down directly, but fortunately, he himself had grown up after several battles, so he stood up again.
The power of love plays a big role in this process.
"What's that?" Unlike the others, Magneto, Shapeshift, and Xavier can even observe what Jean's fears are.
Originally, Victor and Logan would not have been so unbearable, but as immortals, they were naturally afraid of the divine power of death that could crush their abilities, and it was good to be able to hold on to it without fainting at this time.
The Demon Girl is also considered an immortal, but the degree is not as deep as that of Wolverine, so the situation is much better, but it is impossible to be like Magneto, and still have the heart to ask questions.
"I don't know, maybe it's some unknown powerful being." Xavier's actions were effective, and Jean had quieted down.
So Jean spoke, "No, the man inside me told me that this is death itself. ”
"Death itself?" Everyone frowned.
"What do you mean, is it still a god? Hades? The King of Hell? Lucifer? Magneto asked.
"Please also address her as 'her.'" Lucy walked into the house and held up an enchantment for them to resist the Goddess of Death's divine power.
"For the goddess of death, it is better for you to have a minimum of respect."
But Logan didn't appreciate it, and directly poked out his claws, "Who are you?" ”
The others were also on guard, even Magneto and Professor X didn't stop Logan's actions.
"My name is Lucifer, and it's a pleasure to meet you all for the first time."
But not everyone can accept this answer, like Scott.
"Lucifer? Are you saying you're the fallen angel? There is a limit to joking! ”
"Tsk." Lucy hates the idea of "unlocking his hidden identity" and then watching passers-by shout about the impossible, but sometimes, that's the only option.
The six wings spread out from his back, and Lucy temporarily uncovered the disguise of the human body, revealing the true form of an angel.
The faint glow soothed everyone's hearts, but the surprise in their hearts could not be erased.
"Watch your words, young man, I haven't fallen yet." This is where Lucy is most helpless, why does everyone think he is a demon of hell?
Although everyone knows that "people cannot be disguised", and they also know that many times powerful people are similar to gods, but looking at Lucy's bright light and the wings behind him, they still can't help but want to believe that the person in front of them is the "Dawn Star".
