Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 104 22. Small broken ball counterattack 【27100】

On the earth, the North American continent, which was directly attacked by the cruise missiles of the Kerry battleship, is in chaos.

Those black weapons that fell from the sky could not hide the hundreds of millions of people on the ground below. Although Carol had desperately guarded them before, the explosions and gunpowder all over the sky still made the people on the ground panic.

The government was powerless to conceal the truth in the face of this sudden and terrible event. Facing the deadly bombing that may occur at any time, riots broke out in almost every city.

People are like animals who feel that the end is coming. They don't know how to protect themselves and can only act according to their instincts.The original order was pushed to the most fragile edge at this moment, like a tight rope, perhaps when the first missile that fell into the ground exploded, it would really break apart.

All members of the World Security Council have received first-hand information from the Strategic Crisis Intervention and Espionage Logistics Service.

In front of these big figures from various countries and forces, they were almost broadcasting the scene from the Mar-Vell laboratory in the orbit around the earth in the form of a live broadcast.

This high-ranking organization, which was established a few years ago to maintain world order and jointly respond to crises, is dead silent at the moment.

Alexander Pierce, one of the members of the World Security Council, is standing in his office at this time. He is standing by the window, looking at the densely packed black missiles thousands of meters above his head that are fixed in the sky by powerful magnetic forces. .

On the street below him, the chaotic crowd was screaming like headless chickens under the doomsday.

On the big screen behind him, several important representatives of the council were waiting for Pierce's speech and suggestions.

All of this is undoubtedly a real crisis, but for a person like Pierce, he also sees an opportunity from this crisis.

"Everyone, the current situation is very bad."

Pierce turned his head, looked at the representatives on the big screen, and said sincerely:

"I don't need to exaggerate any nonsense threats, because it has really appeared in front of you. The tyrannical Kree have already waged war on us, and the negotiations we were looking forward to did not happen at all, and those belligerent aliens just skipped This part."

"My best agents and fighters are fighting for us among the stars, folks."

Pierce looked at the blond woman on the screen who was like a galloping rocket in the Kerry fleet, constantly creating explosions, like a goddess of fire, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said to the other representatives:

"But she is alone. I have also invited the leaders of the mutants to join the battle. At this time, they are helping us resist the destruction from the sky! But it is not enough!"

Pierce propped his hands on the table, he looked at the representatives with different faces on the screen, and he said:

"There is no time left for us to hesitate! It's time to fight back, everyone!"

"But we don't have weapons that can directly attack outer space, Pierce."

A female representative of a European regime whispered:

"Although it will appear that we are cowardly, even the assembly of all fleets and ground forces cannot harm those aliens, and we are indeed powerless to fight back."

"But the least we can do is postulate that we can rely on ourselves to protect ourselves."

Pierce pointed to the sky, then pointed out the window, and said:

"At least we can do our best to destroy the black weapons falling from the sky so that our helpers and fighters can fight back! I mean, it's about this time, if we don't move, the people will be very disappointed."

"Those alien weapons are nuclear weapons!"

Another representative said in a deep voice:

"Even if they exploded high in the sky, it would create a strong radiation cloud, and our ground firepower destroyed those weapons, and it would also cause unpredictable disasters."

"That's at least much better than the entire planet being destroyed by the invaders."

Pierce retorted:

"We have a way to lock those missile explosions out of the atmosphere! I talked to the leader of the mutants about this, and he made some... well, a bit excessive demands, which is kind of like taking advantage of the fire, but There are not many options left for us.”

The tough old soldier straightened his body and said to the representatives in front of him:

"When I learned about the presence of aliens, I kept thinking about how much we would have to pay to win if there was a war between the two sides. Now it seems that ... we may have given everything."

"I decided to grant those demands. And the President gave me command of the fleet 10 minutes ago, gentlemen."

Pierce looked at the time on his wrist and said to the delegates in front of him:

"We're going to fire missiles in 15 minutes, fire every weapon we can, to show people we're determined to protect the planet."

"I have no right to decide the affairs of your country, but the right to choose has been handed over to you."

"For now, that's it."

After speaking, Pierce reached out and turned off the screen in front of him, and he sat on his office chair a little tiredly.He reclined his chair, smoked a cigar and lit it in the office.

He could feel a heavy pressure, but he could also feel that as long as he survived this crisis, all the predicaments of him and the Strategic Science Corps would be broken.

The organization he had served for decades would soon take on new glory.

The premise is that the war commanded by him... cannot be lost!

"Professor... are you there?"

As the smoke rose, Pierce said softly in the office alone:

"Your Excellency Eric, are you ready?"

"Of course, we are awaiting orders."

A gentle voice resounded in Pierce's mind, as if talking through the air.Pierce exhaled a puff of smoke, and he said to the voice in his mind:

"Okay, professor, please tell your Excellency Eric. I agree with his request in principle. But after everything is over, we will have a negotiation to determine the specific details."

The voice in the spirit was silent for a moment, then sounded again:

"Then get your fleet ready, Sir Pierce, Eric will push the Kree missiles out of the atmosphere in a few minutes."

"it is good."

On the other side, in a quiet large manor in Queens, New York, on the grass outside the red building that looks like a castle, two people are waiting for something.

A man in a blue suit sits in a wheelchair.

He is a bald old man with a gentle face, but at this moment, his face is also serious.

The other person's face was indifferent, full of a unique majesty.

He was wearing a black robe, a strange cloak, and a dark red helmet on his head.On the edge of the helmet, there is white hair showing, representing that he is also an old man.

At this time, the old man in a black robe was raising his left hand towards the sky, and his five fingers in black gloves were separated.

In the burst of his will, the invisible magnetic force formed a terrifying magnetic net covering the entire North American continent in the sky, imprisoning the missiles dropped by the Cree in the sky.

He single-handedly protected the entire North American continent.

His name is Eric Lanciel, and he is one of the leaders of mutants hidden among ordinary people. He also has another name, Magneto.

The bald old man sitting in a wheelchair next to him was not an ordinary person either.That was another leader of the mutants, Charles Francis Xavier.

The famous Professor X.

The two were longtime friends, but also rivals who had fought ideas for decades.

Magneto advocates the freedom of mutants, while Professor X advocates that mutants should integrate into human society.

One hawk, one dove.

The ideological struggle between the two made them hardly communicate with each other in the past ten years, but under the current crisis, old friends gathered again.Because these two wise people have seen the hidden hope under this crisis.

"Eric."

Professor X opened his eyes, and he said to Magneto beside him:

"Alexander Pierce has agreed to your request, but he will start a negotiation after the war to determine the details."

"Hmph, the boring tricks of politicians!"

The stern-faced Magneto said disdainfully:

"If you encounter a crisis, ask us for help, but I am sure that as soon as the crisis is resolved, they will wrestle at the negotiating table... They have always regarded us as a threat. Maybe, I should 'leave out' a few missiles to let The destruction of several cities as a reminder of where they are now."

"Don't do that, Eric."

Professor X raised his head and looked at the stagnant Kerry missiles in the sky. The gentle-faced bald old man said softly:

"It's not about them, Eric, it's about ordinary people."

"Mutants will become the saviors of the world, our image will be greatly improved, and our compatriots will no longer be squeezed out by ordinary people... This is a real opportunity to show our kindness to human society."

"That's the kindness you need, Charles."

Magneto snorted:

"What I need is more than kindness!"

"Eric!"

Professor X's expression became a little more serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"When the missile explodes, it won't just take the lives of ordinary people. Are you going to use the blood of your compatriots to achieve your goal?"

"I love them."

Magneto shook his head, he said softly:

"Love them as much as you... Forget it, this time, just as you wish."

As he spoke, the ground under Magneto's feet began to tremble strangely.

This strong man who can manipulate magnetism began to fuse his own magnetism with the earth's magnetic field. To throw nearly a thousand missiles back into the atmosphere at one time, it is still a bit difficult to rely on Magneto's own strength. He needs the power of the ground under his feet.

"buzzing"

In a low, eerie tremor, Magneto's hands stretched skyward, and in the fusion of the Earth's magnetic field with his own, the power he could control was greatly enhanced.

He glanced at Charles beside him, who put his finger on his forehead and nodded to him.

Magneto's body left the ground at this moment.Propelled by the invisible magnetic force, he rushed into the sky like a real savior. With the push of his hands, the Cree missile, which represented destruction in the sky, also slowly turned its direction.

Like sharp swords, they stabbed out of the sky.

At the same time, Professor X's huge spiritual power is also like a tumbling tide, centered on him, spreading wantonly towards the entire North American continent.

At this moment, in the hearts of those panic-stricken ordinary people, in the hearts of everyone, Professor X's gentle voice sounded:

"Fear not, citizens!"

"Lift your heads up and look up to the sky."

At this moment, the panicked crowd raised their heads one after another, and they vaguely saw those terrifying black weapons being pushed away from the sky above the sky.

"Mutants are also a member of mankind. At this moment when destruction is approaching, we will use our own power to protect our world..."

"There is no need to be afraid...go home, this disaster will be over soon."

Under Professor X's extreme spiritual interference power, the chaos in the entire North American continent is rapidly disappearing.

The two most powerful mutants joined forces, and within a few minutes, this terrifying disaster was eliminated invisible.This isn't the first time they've teamed up, and it's not the first time Professor X and Magneto have saved the world.

Just as the cyber boss said to Carol, the seemingly backward earth has hidden powers that are by no means so simple.

The people on the ground looked at the sky blankly, and they saw that the weapons that destroyed them were being pushed back among the stars by invisible forces.And on the sea outside the mainland, in other continents, missiles pointing to the sky have also been truly in place.

As the female representative said, even if these missiles were fired beyond the atmosphere, they would most likely not be able to harm the Kree warships.But for the regime on Earth, it is not important whether these missiles can harm the enemy. What is important is that these weapons represent their counterattack and their will to protect the earth.

At this time of crisis, this symbolic meaning will make ordinary people feel at ease and will stabilize the existing order again.

"Let's go back."

High above the sky, the god-like Magneto felt the imprisoned black missiles in the magnetic field, his hands retracted, accumulating strength, and the next moment, his hands pushed outward.

The terrifying magnetic force exploded, like countless hands bombarding those black missiles.The terrifying impetus gave these missiles a terrifying initial speed, allowing them to break free from the shackles of gravity, and rush out of the sky like sharp arrows leaving the string.

This scene made the sirens in the Kree starship, which was constantly firing missiles, one after another, and finally made the earth agents in Mar-Vell's laboratory breathe a sigh of relief. .

Almost at the same moment, on every continent of the entire earth, the missiles that were piercing the sky also broke away from the launch pads, like arrows soaring into the sky, dragging long smoke and flames, rushing into the sky.

This scene caused the panicked people on the ground to cheer uncontrollably. They finally knew that they would not be destroyed so easily.

Earth strikes back...

coming!
