No matter how much Loki regretted it in his heart, he knew that he had no way out, countless armies had already gathered in the distant star field, just waiting for the interstellar gate to open, and there was no room for error at this critical juncture. ∑, it may be possible to deal with the unpleasantness of the Zetarians, with his superhuman skill, it is not too difficult to find an evenly matched opponent for this group of warlike brainless, but Thanos Thanos Thanos is a well-deserved overlord of the universe, if he does not succeed this time and offends him, then no matter how vast the world is, there is no place for Loki.

Under the threat of this reality, Loki had to act cautiously, not swaggering around as he originally thought, but learning about the news in detail, choosing a relatively risky path, but once successful, it will be the most effective, with the help of a scepter inlaid with soul gems, he successively controlled Hawkeye and Servig and others, and through them gradually approached Washington, step by step patiently, and finally took control of the country by surprise and the people who ostensibly held supreme power. Although he was only able to issue a few less controversial orders to avoid being detected too early and causing trouble, it was enough to hold off the forces outside of S.H.I.E.L.D. that might have the greatest impact on him.

That's the Mutant Academy, they didn't fight in London and still have full combat strength - something Loki has repeatedly confirmed.

As a result of this unexpected event, some unpleasant changes have taken place in the small town of Westchester.

When the sun once again dispelled the darkness and the golden sunlight fell on the earth, the young people in the academy walked to the balcony one after another, and then without exception saw the barbed wire fence outside, and the human beings seemed to tear off the veil of warmth and affection overnight, and thousands of elite soldiers were mobilized overnight and laid a net outside.

On land, armored vehicles, laser cannons, and sonic jammers, and helicopters laden with special ammunition hovered in the air, young people have no doubt that more powerful weapons lurk out of sight. The human race and the academy were originally at peace, but today, they were assigned by their top bosses, and they all pointed to this small land in the small city, as if a full-scale war could be launched at any time.

After looking out from the balcony for a while, the core of the academy returned to the conference room and took their seats to discuss.

"It doesn't look like the humans are going to attack right away, maybe we'll have time to figure out what's going on." As soon as he sat down, Babi the Iceman couldn't wait to propose.

He had left the academy to join Scott's team, but recently due to the events in London, he temporarily returned to the place where he was trained.

For the Iceman's proposal. The others didn't care at all, he was no longer a member of the team, and if it weren't for the solidarity of the other organizations temporarily stationed in the academy, he wouldn't have been allowed to walk into the conference room as a delegate at all.

"You know, you didn't come back with Magneto in London, maybe it was premeditated, the humans want us to fight with the werewolves, and then they receive the best benefits." Alicent casually grabbed Bai Dao, not giving face to her old classmates at all.

"Whatever the reason. None of us are in a good situation right now, Magneto got into a fight with someone he didn't know when he was retreating from London, he was seriously injured, and he passed out just after returning to the academy. It hasn't woken up yet. Without his strength, and the professor does not want to be solved by force, it is very difficult for us to win this war without losses, and I believe this is only the beginning. Humanity cannot send only one army to fight, they will continue to send troops until they achieve their goal. Colossus Pete calmly analyzed, and gradually laid out the resources in the hands of both sides.

The academy is no longer what it was when Eric left. After pre-planning and more than a year of reorganization, it has embarked on the path of rapid development, with nearly 10,000 mutants with clean backgrounds openly gathered under the banner of the Academy, plus the number of their families and other people who are inconvenient to show up has increased exponentially, and there are closed communities of superpowers everywhere near New York, Boston and other East Coast cities. These people are led by John and others in the open, and secretly it is Quicksilver Pietro who is operating underground. They not only have a strong economic foundation and hematopoietic mechanism, but also have an efficient organizational structure and a scientific research department with outstanding results, except for the top combat power, the real strength of the middle and lower echelons of the academy alone has left the powerful Brotherhood far behind, not to mention the regular troops of ordinary humans.

So relying on this force, the people here are not too worried that the advantage will be too tilted in favor of humans after the outbreak of conflict, they just have some doubts that have not been answered.

For example, why Jean summoned them in advance to leave Manhattan and return to the small city.

Could it be that she had foreseen something?

John was about to ask, when a familiar wave of power outside the door interrupted his question.

"This is ......", the fire man opened his eyes wide, vaguely guessing the answer in his heart, he took two deep breaths, and stood up with forced excitement.

The door opened, and a man walked in with a smile.

"Good morning, girls." The man said casually, his voice unusually familiar as if he had heard it in a dream.

Dark blonde hair, gray-blue eyes, gentle with a deep temperament.

At this moment, the image in front of him suddenly overlapped with the person in the vague memory, and John's mind seemed to be violently touched by some force, and the dusty memories swept over like a pouring tide.

"Boss!"

The young people of the academy jumped one after another, and they finally found their lost memories.

***

After playing with the conspiracy, Loki recovered from his frustration and went to Stuttgart to continue his plan, this time he did not hide his whereabouts again, and made a high-profile appearance to attack a ball held by the upper class, intimidating the frightened crowd, making people kneel and make a plausible declaration in public, just when he was triumphant, Captain America and Iron Man arrived one after another, and after some twists and turns, subdued him, and soon Thor also arrived from Asgard and returned to the air headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. with Natasha, Put Loki in a special cage.

"Tell me about your current situation." After Loki is sent to a transparent cell, Fury walks over, and this time he has the upper hand. "If you try to escape, even if it's just a slight scratch on the glass, you'll be free falling from 30,000 feet with this iron cage, so dispel your stupid idea early and don't do anything stupid - do you understand when I say that?"

The man in the cage didn't answer, just looked over with a strange smile.

"It's a nice design, it shouldn't be for me, right?"

"It's going to be a lot more ferocious than you." Fury didn't hide it, and his voice reached Banner's ears through Natasha's monitor.

Banner shrugged his shoulders, he had rarely had any more outbursts of anger lately, and he had invisibly lowered his vigilance.

At this time, Loki's voice was still ringing, gradually leading the words to the missing Cosmic Rubik's Cube, his hint made the rest of the Avengers feel uneasy, and when Fury left, the cell returned to calm, and several people gathered around the round table to discuss, speculating about his purpose, but due to personality incompatibility, a conflict broke out between words, and they broke up unhappily.

When Natasha, who is good at psychological warfare, takes words out of Loki's mouth and guesses that his target is Banner, Hawkeye has easily approached the target with the president's warrant and attacks.

After an explosion, flames and heat separated the people, and Natasha fell from the upper passage to the bottom, her legs pinned down by the collapsed heavy steel beams, and Banner fell beside her.

"Bruce, we'll be fine, you have to hold on, or you'll fall for Loki's tricks." Holding back the panic in her heart, Natasha continued to persuade her, but it had no effect, Banner couldn't suppress her anger, her body gradually swelled, and her face gradually turned green.

"Listen, I will use my life guarantee to take you out, you can hide far away......"

As she spoke, Banner suddenly raised his head and roared loudly.

Immediately after, his massive body broke through his clothes, and the Hulk reappeared.

Far away in the cell, Loki heard the roar coming from him and smiled triumphantly.

At this point, his plan was finally realized, and S.H.I.E.L.D., which was mired in civil strife, could no longer stop him.

With Loki's smile, a wave of thoughts disappeared from the void and quietly returned to a small town far away in northern New York.

Eric's students were sitting in a circle around him, listening to him tell stories about what had happened in the past.

“…… That's it, I'm back in our time. It looks tense on the outside, but it's actually our chance. But don't forget, opportunities are reserved only for those who are prepared, and here I just want to ask, are you ready? ”

Eric asked with a smile, and the young men nodded in response.

Then he clapped his hands, and the dwarf scientist who had been waiting outside walked in with his men, along with several pieces of golden armor covered in fine scales.

"This is the latest invention of Dr. Trask and Dr. Stryker, after borrowing the abilities of their compatriots, and referring to the body structure of the Strulls, they finally found a way to convert energy, and from then on mutants no longer need to be limited by talent, they only need one transformation equipment to master most of the general abilities, and now that our last shortcoming is gone, I have no doubt that the future will be our world."

Eric's voice echoed through the conference room, and the students happily changed into their armor, and John took the lead in asking.

"Boss, what are we going to do next?"

Eric turned around and pulled back the curtains, letting the golden morning light from outside let in through the room, and suddenly the crowded room brightened up, as if embracing the scenery of the whole world.

"Now, we just have to be patient and make a grand comeback in the midst of the call." (To be continued......) u
