43. The eve of the wedding robbery
Earth, Pacific Ocean, Utopia Island.
Outside of the mutant-populated city, in the southern part of this large island, a super-large camp is springing up.
Mutants who can manipulate rocks and earth are expanding their temporary camps for the arriving "guests", and farther afield, supplies from island cities are piled up in several large tents.
It's late in the evening, and the Pacific island is unusually beautiful, and a group of young people gather on the beach to relax, several large bonfires have been lit, and they seem to be ready to complete the preparations for the bonfire before the night comes.
A lot of variants are also participating, and it seems like they're having a good time.
The mutants of Utopia Island are very enthusiastic about this group of fainting guests, on the one hand, as a "reservation" of mutants, Utopia Island rarely has such a large number of outsiders visiting.
On the other hand, the mutants who live here know that these heroes from the outside world are helping them.
The actions of Professor Charles and Magneto in their intention to fight back against the Kree fleet in an attempt to save the planet from being plunged into war have been known to many.
News of the island went viral, and the full assembly of the X-Men confirmed the news.
The powerful mutants of the Hellfire Club, who have always been outside the mutant body, have also returned to the island from their new home in the sea, and many people have seen Her Majesty Emma, the queen of Atlantis, appear in the city.
And the undersea soldiers who went ashore with her.
All this proves that the professor has made up his mind to do something for this world that is shrouded in the shadow of war.
The mutants were quite excited about this.
Whenever the planet is in crisis, there are always heroes who stand up and turn the tide.
This time, the human world is quite ambivalent and divided in the face of threats, then... It's up to mutants to come to the rescue.
The worship and pursuit of heroes and heroism is not limited to the human body.
The mutants who have been excluded and suppressed in history will only have a stronger desire for their own heroes to save the world and demonstrate the strength and faith of mutants.
And this time the mutant heroes won't be alone!
During this time, there was a steady stream of outsiders landing on Utopia, superheroes of the Hero Society, wizards dressed in mysterious clothes, and eccentric-looking aliens.
Ms. Auroro, who is both the X-Men and the queen of Wakanda, has also brought a Wakanda army that can fight well.
The heroes of the outside world will walk with the heroes of the mutants, and they will turn the tide in the midst of the crisis, as they have always been.
Ten minutes later, there was a cheer from the crowd, and Professor Charles arrived, pushed by his student Colossus in a wheelchair, and led the X-Men to the camp where the heroes of the outside world were.
This bald old man in a wheelchair has a staggering reputation in mutant society.
He greeted and talked to his people in a friendly manner, and then, surrounded by mutants, entered the camp to meet with the leaders of the heroes and discuss something.
With only a few days left until the day of the Inhumans and the Kree marriage, this assembly has reached its final stage, and soon, they will be on their way.
“. There are already several spaceships ready on the B side, enough to send the force of the surprise attack into the stars at once, and in the last few days, there should be a group of people who will arrive, and according to the current number of people, there will be at least 1,000 people with us in the end. ”
In the evening, under the light of the fire and dim lights of the camp, Colux, who was walking on the beach with Professor X, whispered to the professor:
"Magneto's efforts to gather the members of the Mutant Brotherhood are also going well, but sadly, we still haven't been able to contact Ms. Raven, who hasn't been in touch with us since she left Utopia a few months ago."
"Magician..."
The professor nodded, and he whispered:
"Raven left very abruptly, and at the time we thought she was in a hurry, but now it seems that the mutants, who may be as good at disguise as we are, may have discovered our existence."
"But at this moment, her presence doesn't matter anymore, don't worry about her."
The old Skrulls, disguised as Professor Charles, unleashed their psychic powers, sensing the minds of the heroes in the camp.
In a narrow terrain like a beach, his psychic strength is no different from that of a real professor, and if there are ill-intentioned people among those heroes, they will be discovered by the fake professor at the first time.
This time, the Skrulls are desperate, and the assassination of the Kree warlord Ronan is what they can play at the moment, and the last card cannot be half a point difference.
Behind him, Colossus was reporting on the actions of the other Skruls.
He said:
"This time, 200 compatriots will go to the stars with us, and the rest of the people will continue to stay on Earth, and after the assassination is over, the White House will immediately use this assassination to issue a war statement, and the other Earth Kingdom officials will then enter a state of full-scale war."
"Maximus, for his part, is also ready, as soon as the Black Bolt King and the Inhuman royal family leave Attillan, he will immediately launch a rebellion and take control of Attillan."
"He'll manipulate that city into falling to Earth, and the Inhumans won't have a chance to join the Kree Empire, and they'll be drawn into the war."
"Hmm."
The professor nodded, and he said:
"Whether we kill Ronan or not, as long as we act according to our predetermined plan, neither the Cree nor the Earthlings can enter into reconciliation."
He looked up at the dim stars overhead, and said:
"Actually, as soon as we enter the stars, the spread of war is inevitable."
"Oh, and one more thing, about the ancient behemoths we've been looking for, the Titans, if the Kree counterattack comes, the Earth might need them to withstand it."
"We've already got people from us to contact the Imperial Organization."
Coulix replied:
"The replacement will soon be completed, and if necessary, those special instruments will be activated, which will force the mysterious Titans to appear on the surface of the Earth to join the war, or bring mass chaos."
"Good."
The professor raised his hand and waved to the heroic leaders waiting for him in the camp ahead, and finally asked:
"What about the surveillance of the Riley family? Is there any news to worry about? ”
"Nope."
Hearing this question, a glimmer of orange suddenly flashed in Colowis's eyes, but it was not obvious in the dim light, and he replied in a calm tone:
"All the people involved in the Riley family have not been alarmed, they are still living a normal life, and the Raven Lord does not seem to have any intention of involving his family again."
"Including S. L.D. base, everything is calm, I confirm personally, your fears seem to be unnecessary, professor, there is no evidence that an attack against us is being planned. ”
"Really?"
The professor frowned, and after a few seconds, he sighed, and said:
"I hope so."

"Poof"
With a soft sound, like the sound of some kind of insecticide spraying, in the "Eye of the Sky" base in Raccoon City, Nick. Fury was holding a jar of special spray and was showing Cyborg how to use it.
"This is the 'positioning' spray that Banner just made."
The former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., tossed the spray in his hand, which resembled an insecticide canister, to Cyborg, saying:
"Colorless and odorless, once sprayed, it can remain on the target for at least 72 hours, and we've done secret tests on a few locked Skrulls."
Fury picked up the glasses at hand, handed them to Cyborg, and said:
"Even if they change their appearance temporarily, this spray will not disappear, and with glasses with a special spectrum, they can be seen clearly even from a few hundred meters away, just like fireflies in the night, even if they hide in the crowd, there is nowhere to escape."
"I know there's a very fast young man in your little group."
Fury said to Cyborg:
"On the day Professor Charles gathers the heroes to go to the stars, give him this thing, and I'll give you a list of them in the shortest amount of time to apply the spray to specific people."
"It's... Is it to avoid accidental injury? ”
Cyborg looked at the jar in his hand, and the cyborg asked:
"What about after the spraying? Who's going to deal with the flagged Skruls? Those heroes have most likely been brainwashed by Professor Charles, and you probably can't count on them to set things right at the last minute. ”
"You don't have to worry about that."
Fury waved his hand, and he said confidently and mysteriously:
"We have already prepared the person in charge, you are only responsible for distinguishing the positioning, and you and your two companions don't need to think too much, just follow the professor's instructions."
"You will do whatever he tells you to do, and if you let you kill, you will kill people, anyway, they are all Kree people, and we will not feel sorry if we die."
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."
The silver armor on Steelbone's chest opened, revealing several storage compartments, and he said to Fury as he filled several cans of spray on the table into his chest:
"The Skrulls, while strong, are not invulnerable in disguise, and when I spoke to Ms. Carol before, I heard her say that there is a special instrument on the Kree Empire's side that can use specific frequencies of beams and sound waves to force the Skurulls to be exposed from the disguise."
"Although we don't have the drawings for the production of that kind of instrument, there are also very smart people on the planet, such as Reed. Dr. Richards, as long as he knew the principle, he should be able to make an instrument with the same effect in such a long time. ”
"We don't need to take this risk at all, we can solve them on Earth."
Fury nodded in the face of Cyborg's statement.
He said:
"Yes, Reed can make a device like that, but the problem is... See! ”
Fury's finger points to the surveillance wall in front of him, and in the surveillance screen he points to, there is a surveillance screen that faces the top floor of the Baxter Building, where Dr. Reed and his family live.
Fury Says:
"Reed has Skrulls by his side, too... Tony has it all around him, don't underestimate those bastards, Cyborg, everything we can think of, they've been prepared for a long time. ”
"That's why I didn't involve Reed in this from start to finish, and the Skrulls are wary of the kind of device that would make them lose everything."
"And they know very well that there are only a few people on Earth who can make that kind of instrument."
"Okay."
The steel-boned human's right eye couldn't help but blink, and he looked at the dense surveillance screens hanging on the wall in front of him, each of which represented a Skrull being monitored.
Some of the characters projected on the screen are very familiar to the steel bones, such as the confident black president in the White House, and the handsome next presidential hot candidate who always makes some weird remarks and is nicknamed "the king who understands the king", and has very handsome hair...
This made the mechanical heart of the steel bone also have a trace of urgency and disgust.
He looked at the last can of spray in his hand and said:
"We'll do our job, and we'll do whatever it takes to keep those Skrulls in the stars."
"Lord Fury, the affairs of the earth, please leave it to you."
"Don't worry."
Fury picked up the glass of water in his hand, his single eye flashed with indifferent killing intent, like a hunter with a chance to win, and he said in a gentle tone:
"The net is open, and none of them want to run!"
—————————————
Alaska, a small town near the Arctic Circle.
Summers, who has lived here for more than a year, is packing his bags.
He still wears his signature redstone glasses, and he looks like a handsome guy.
It's been a long time since he's been in contact with the X-Men, and it's like leaving that warm family and choosing to go into self-exile.
During the Battle of New York a year ago, Cyclops experienced a lot, not only did he lose his beloved, but he even lost himself at one point, and to this day, the truth of his mysterious resurrection from the tomb is still mysterious.
He hadn't told anyone about it, he remembered that his heart had been gouged out, but after a few days of being buried, he woke up on the shores of Utopia.
There was something strange about this matter, he was probably still entangled in conspiracies, and staying away from the people he cared about was a necessary move, and he didn't want to let the people he cared about get hurt by him anymore.
"Summers, I'll wait for you at home, you must come back on time."
In the small cabin, but full of warmth, another lady with a cool tactical eyepiece for Cyclops in her hand walked up to Summers with difficulty and handed her what she was holding to her lover.
The lady had a big belly.
She is pregnant, and it looks like she will have a baby in a few months.
And it is worth mentioning that the face of this lady and the already dead Jean. Grey is almost identical, except for a few details, such as her hair, which is not a fiery red like Jean's, but smooth orange-red curls.
But other than that, she's almost another version of the Phoenix Girl.
"I will, Madeleine."
Summers turned out to be a tactical eyepiece, and he kissed the woman tenderly on the forehead, and he took his bag on his back and said to the girl in his arms:
"My people need me, they want to save the world, and I can't leave them alone."
"As soon as it's over, I'll rush back as soon as it's over, and I'll see our child born with my own eyes, and I've already given him a nickname, and all the best mutants need it."
"Let's call him... Cable bar. ”
"Our little cable will become a chain linking the past and the future, as a commemoration of my past and our encounter."
