The Hackensack River is a river that flows through New York and New Jersey and runs roughly parallel to the Hudson River, running from north to south and eventually emptying into Newark Bay in New York Harbor.

In the past, it was a quiet and beautiful river, and many nearby residents liked to walk along the river, but on this day it became extremely noisy, armored vehicles crossed the bridge over the river and headed east at full speed, and the air force also concentrated a large number of fighter jets from several military airfields such as Caldwell Wright in New Jersey, loaded them with ammunition and sent them out in groups to the center of New York City in chaos.

By this time, the river was already crowded with a large number of citizens waiting to cross the bridge, and they crowded both sides of the bridge exit, most of whom had been evacuated from the city to West New York not long ago, but because the situation was deteriorating, people had to continue to move west.

"Will we ever come back?". In the crowd, a little girl asked her mother.

But the old man's words are not groundless, this is Pocky. Curtis's daughter, a former Air Force captain who is now unaware of the ghost armor that few people in the local area do not know, was able to eliminate the Zetarians who had been sporadically chasing them along the way, and the exiled population of West New York miraculously did not suffer casualties like other communities.

Angel's mother gently stroked her daughter's hair, looked east, and at the outskirts of the procession, she saw her husband's heavy figure, and beside it stood a series of eye-catching banners.

"We want mutants, we want superpowers, we want superheroes, they can bring us safety! What about the politicians on Capitol Hill. They are of no use but to harm our protectors! "Some of the agitated people shouted at the passing armored vehicles, and at the same time they burned the national flag and showed homemade slogans to nearby journalists.

Reporter: No one stepped forward to stop it, and it was a fact that the president sent troops to surround the Mutant Academy, mobilizing troops the first night, and then aliens invaded the next day, which makes people wonder if there is any connection, and there are many people who privately speculate whether someone in the White House betrayed humanity.

In the midst of the panic, the number of demonstrators grew. They frantically raised their hands, their middle fingers raised to the sky, and their slogans became louder and louder.

"Invisible women, not armored vehicles; Iron Man, not Senator; New Magneto, not the army and politicians! The protesters continued to shout, surrounding a camera camera.

Through the lenses of these cameras, the radio workers who are still at their posts transmit intermittent radio waves throughout the United States, so that everyone can understand what is really going on in this troubled city.

At this time in Xavier College, Westchester. The venerable bald old man pressed the remote control with a solemn face.

"This is Eric's men, I saw Bobby's brother Ronnie with some people mixed in the crowd, what the hell is he trying to do?"

Charles. Xavier was in a wheelchair and muttered to himself, before he could figure it out. The silver-haired old man next to him interrupted his thoughts.

"I remember that the Iceman's brother is an ordinary person, and that is the human being itself, what do you care about so much. Could it be that you have changed your principles and are willing to take the initiative to take action against ordinary people? ”

Magneto was wounded in a big battle with Shaw in London. Now the strength is a little lacking, but from the tone you can hear full of ridicule and sarcasm, for this pair of old friends. Competition and cooperation seem to be the eternal themes, and even now under the same roof, they still have to say a few words to each other from time to time.

Compared to Magneto, the professor was more worried, and after the Eric department took over the academy, the development here was extremely rapid, and the power gathered by tens of thousands of mutants terrified even him. And now the times are different, many people know how to interfere with his mind control, which makes his strength greatly weakened, Charles who has failed his mind control is almost no different from ordinary old people, and Ronnie These small characters are also wearing instruments to resist mental power, which shows that they are obviously prepared, and it is not just as simple as taking the opportunity to set off a few riots in the people.

Charles groaned for a while, shuddered suddenly, turned his head sharply and looked south, and the huge spiritual power instantly crossed the distance of hundreds of miles and descended directly on the most important building in the entire country in Washington.

The next moment he groaned. With a groan, he closed his eyes in pain.

"Pietro led people into the White House...... "Without waiting for Magneto to ask, the professor told him what he saw.

The silver-haired old man burst out laughing, out of breath.

"Charles, Charles." He affectionately called his old friend's name and stood up triumphantly. "He did go my way, and I knew he would. From 1962 to the present, we have won the war in the end. ”

"Who is the winner? Magneto! The silver-haired old man threw his hands up and rushed out of the dean's office like a contented child.

Jean wore an elegant red dress and walked alone in the abandoned streets, today she didn't need to pay attention to the actions of the young people, Eric was there that she had to pay attention to.

When she closed her eyes, the material world immediately darkened, and the gray and white lines replaced the colorful external environment, opening the essence of things to her without reservation.

Now that the outside world was gone, there was no dust and flames, and the thunder and roar that broke out were gone, and the whole city became a flat and barren land, and in the center of this land appeared a huge shadow, like a thick dark cloud over the city, invisibly devouring all colors and light.

In the midst of this thick dark cloud, there was a person closest to her, who was still radiating a bright and pure light even in the fiercest battle that had never been seen before.

Smiling slightly, Jean was about to walk into the dark clouds when she suddenly stopped again.

There's a bit of a problem ahead.

Seeing her stop, two people hiding nearby revealed their whereabouts one after the other.

"Jean. Grey", a man in a red tuxedo with a diamond painted on his forehead first called Jean's name. "Our man Nathaniel. Essex, maybe you've heard my name and it's a pleasure to see you here. ”

Jean didn't speak, she knew that this was a mad scientist, and she had been secretly fighting the idea of her own and Scott's genes, thinking that she could fuse the genes of Phoenix Girl and Cyclops to produce the most powerful mutants, and it was said that he had also created a clone of himself to send to Scott, but it was destroyed by the design of the shrewd White Queen Emma.

So who is the other person besides him?

Another person stepped forward, his unusually burly build, gray skin, and blue lips, which made people feel his strength at first sight.

This is the apocalypse, in 1943 Eric was thrown into a wormhole with a Rubik's cube and sent out of the earth, but he did not expect to return to the familiar world at this time.

"Your man exiled me to the other side of the universe seventy years ago, and I finally returned to Earth with the help of the power of Thanos, don't think about interfering in their battle, today is the day of your demise."

Apocalypse laughed wickedly, closing in with Essex.

Facing two strong enemies alone, Jean was undaunted, her hair fluttering softly, and a dazzling white light surrounded her.

***

Although in the midst of the most intense battle, Eric also received news from Jean that she was temporarily stopped by an unexpected opponent, but he was not surprised, on the contrary, he was in the most powerful moment ever, and even Thanos, the overlord of the universe, was feeling more and more difficult.

With the help of this alien invasion, the will of the residents around New York is condensed, and a person's mind may be extremely small, but thousands of people pray for help at the same time, calling his name with all their hearts, forming a deep tunnel and a vast electromagnetic field, faintly echoing it from the invisible level.

He had been exposed to the power of this mind in the past, and it was indeed mysterious, but today this far-reaching and vast force field still gave him an indescribable joy.

"This is the power of faith, the sublimation of the hearts of countless people, and the condensation of such magnificent and profound fruits."

Eric's body is still fighting, the energy is still working, but the soul has leapt to a whole new level, and even Thanos, who holds the soul gem in his hand, has not noticed.

All kinds of thoughts swirled and disappeared, and shallow touch could also bring him infinite inspiration, and the three Infinity Stones in his body in a trance seemed to be non-existent, their essence was completely extracted, and the external form became superfluous, and slowly they were repulsed, floating on the palms of his hands and forehead respectively.

It was a wonderful feeling, full of unprecedented whimsy and indescribable subtlety that immersed him in the infinite ocean and comprehended the mysteries of the universe.

At this point, Thanos seemed to notice that something was wrong, and he tentatively slowed down the attack, and Eric's defense was reduced accordingly - he was just responding to the instincts of his body.

Thanos snorted, his protruding purple chin raised high, his mind spinning rapidly, and then suddenly approached Eric's side and raised his right hand at him.

The blue light flashed, and the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, which had been reduced in size, released a wave of fluctuations.

Then the two disappeared at the same time, disappearing into the void like a free wind. (To be continued......)
