Chapter 314: If It Doesn't Kill , Then It's Your Turn
Actually, with Chen Ye's current indestructible body, withstanding the nuclear explosion's shock wave was incredibly easy.
What truly threatened Chen Ye was the high temperature produced in the instant of the nuclear explosion! That was a temperature of nearly ten thousand degrees! Capable of gasifying all matter on Earth.
The mont the nuclear bomb exploded, Chen Ye's spiritual perception frantically issued a warning! If relying solely on himself, he would definitely be unable to withstand such intense, scorching heat for the ti being.
Fortunately, Chen Ye had Armant Haki and fire-type supernatural abilities. Especially his fire-type ability, which had almost maximized his fire resistance!
It was precisely because of this that Chen Ye dared to say such words, challenging the Arican higher-ups to send a more powerful nuclear missile. He was a person of steady and cautious character, and would never risk his life without absolute certainty!
If his spiritual perception warned him of mortal danger, Chen Ye would definitely use the Space Stone and open a portal to escape...
X Academy. Seeing the satellite video officially released, all X-n mbers were shocked speechless by the bald man who survived such a violent nuclear explosion. Professor X, in particular, couldn't help but shed tears. This true saint was weeping for those who died in the nuclear blast.
"Professor..." Jean Gray comforted, "This is not your fault."
Professor X simply shook his head, saying nothing. In fact, he could have stopped this tragedy. He could have used his ntal powers to control the high-ranking congressional mbers and the president, making them change their orders.
Unfortunately, Professor X was not only saintly but also particularly rigid. He had set a rule for himself never to use his telepathic abilities to control ordinary people. So even though he knew those politicians would use nuclear weapons, he chose to stand by and do nothing.
Now crying, it was sowhat... awkward.
Seeing Professor X's grief, Storm proactively changed the subject: "Scott (Cyclops), if we give you the opportunity, can you kill this bald man?"
Cyclops shook his head and answered honestly: "My optic blast is far less destructive than a nuclear explosion."
aning: no.
"If that's the case, then only..." Storm said, subconsciously looking at Jean Gray. Everyone else also looked at Jean Gray.
At present, only the Phoenix Force within Jean Gray could deal with that terrifying bald man.
Seeing everyone's gaze, Jean Gray revealed a helpless smile: "You all know that power is not under my control. If you place hope on , we can only gamble on luck."
Everyone frowned. Gambling on luck was sothing no one was happy about! After all, losing the bet would cost their lives.
Professor X sighed, then closed his eyes. Everyone imdiately understood the professor was using his abilities and fell silent, afraid of disturbing him. A few clever ones had already guessed what the professor was preparing to do...
On the other side. In the Brotherhood's temporary underground base. Magneto and his subordinates were also watching the official nuclear explosion video.
In fact, when Magneto initially tried to recruit Chen Ye, Chen Ye directly told him to scram... At the ti, several subordinates were very angry, believing that bald man was ungrateful and thinking the Brotherhood could be bullied?
After returning, several subordinates had advised Magneto to simply eliminate that arrogant guy, which would also boost the Brotherhood's reputation.
At this mont. Seeing the bald man completely unhard in the nuclear explosion video, those subordinates all shut their mouths.
A guy who couldn't be hard by such a terrifying nuclear explosion - they would have been nothing more than cannon fodder if they had attacked!
Mystique was even grateful that Magneto had restrained himself at the ti and hadn't confronted that bald man.
"No wonder he refused ," Magneto murmured to himself.
If he had that bald man's strength, he wouldn't be interested in the Brotherhood either. He could accomplish his ideals alone.
At this ti. The nearby Pyro suddenly changed his expression, his vicious aura transforming into a benevolent one.
"Erik," Pyro called Magneto, his tone much softer, looking at Magneto with eyes like those of a long-lost old friend.
Magneto was stunned, imdiately realizing his old opponent had arrived.
"Charles?" Magneto frowned. "What do you want?"
Pyro's gaze made him uncomfortable. At the sa ti, he was secretly glad he had a helt that could block ntal interference.
"We've been apart for thirty years, right? It's ti to fight side by side."
"Fight side by side?"
Magneto instantly guessed Professor X's purpose and laughed: "Charles, if you want to help you deal with that bald man in New York, don't bother. I won't agree."
"Pyro" persuaded: "Erik, can't you see? That bald man is a monster more terrifying than Apocalypse, with the power to truly destroy the world. If we don't stop him, your ideals will be trampled underfoot."
Hearing the na Apocalypse, Magneto's expression slightly changed.
He had never feared anyone in his life. Only Apocalypse had made him truly feel fear.
The forr Magneto had even been one of Apocalypse's Four Horsen, until he later "found his way back".
Although Magneto truly didn't want the world to be destroyed.
Professor X couldn't convince him with just a few words.
Magneto sneered: "Charles, you're still the sa, unchanged... If you want to stop him, go ahead! You have Jean Gray. You don't need my help to eliminate him."
Pyro sighed: "Erik, Jean's power is uncontrolled. I need your help..."
Unfortunately.
No matter how Professor X tried to persuade him, Magneto wouldn't budge.
Finally, Professor X could only say: "Erik, I know your heart. This is our only world. You won't sit and watch it be destroyed. I'll wait for you on the battlefield..."
After saying this, Professor X left.
Pyro imdiately returned to normal, completely confused about what had just happened.
Magneto still coldly laughed. He was no longer the rash young man. Did Charles think he could be fooled with just a few words? What was he dreaming about?
Just then, Mystique suddenly said: "Erik, you'd better take a look at this..."
Magneto was stunned, looking towards the television.
A news TV station was dispatching a helicopter to broadcast live in New York.
All mbers on the helicopter wore thick protective suits.
When the helicopter flew over New York's airspace, it captured the mont the bald man began his operation.
One hour had passed.
Chen Ye would definitely not break his word. He was going to completely erase New York from the map...
