The Hackensack River is a river that flows through New York and New Jersey. It is approximately parallel to the Hudson River, flows from north to south, and finally empties into Newark Bay in New York Harbor.
In the past, this was a quiet and beautiful river, and many nearby residents liked to walk along the river. But this day it became extremely noisy. Armored vehicles crossed the bridge over the river and drove eastward at full speed. The Air Force also flew from Calder, New Jersey. Several military airports such as Wilwright gathered a large number of fighter jets, loaded them with ammunition and sent them out in groups, heading towards the chaotic center of New York.
At this time, the riverside was already crowded with a large number of citizens waiting to cross the bridge. They crowded both sides of the bridge exit. Most of these people were evacuated from the city to Western New York not long ago. However, due to the deteriorating situation, people had to Continue to move west.
"Will we come back?" In the crowd, a little girl asked her mother.
"I will definitely do it, Angel. Don't forget that your dad is a man of steel and iron. He will beat away all those alien bastards." Before the girl's mother had time to answer, the old man standing next to her had already He agreed on her behalf.
However, the old man's words were not groundless. This was the daughter of Pocky Curtis. Now few people in the local area didn't know that the former air force captain who turned into the ghost armor, with its help, transferred the Chitauri who were chasing after them sporadically. After being successfully eliminated, this team of residents who fled from Western New York miraculously did not suffer casualties like other communities.
Angel's mother gently stroked her daughter's hair and looked eastward. At the outermost edge of the team, she saw her husband's heavy figure, and there were eye-catching slogans and banners erected next to it.
"We want mutants, superpowers, and superheroes. They can bring us safety! Where are the politicians on Capitol Hill? They are of no use and will only hurt our protector!" some emotional people shouted. Shouting from passing armored vehicles, they simultaneously burned flags and showed homemade signs to nearby reporters.
No one from the reporters stepped forward to stop them. It was a fact that the president sent troops to surround the mutant academy. Troops were mobilized the first night, and aliens invaded the next day. This makes people have to wonder if there is any connection. Many people secretly Speculating if someone in the White House betrayed humanity.
Amid the panic, the number of demonstrators increased. They raised their hands enthusiastically, raised their middle fingers to the sky, and chanted slogans louder and louder.
"We want an invisible woman, not an armored car; we want Iron Man, not a senator; we want a new Magneto, not an army or politicians!" The protesters continued to shout, surrounding each camera.
Through the lenses of these cameras, radio workers who still stick to their posts spread intermittent radio waves throughout the United States, letting everyone understand what is happening in this troubled city.
This time at Xavier Academy in Westchester. The respectable bald old man pressed the remote control with a solemn expression.
"This was done by Eric's men. I saw Bobby's brother Ronnie leading some people to mix in the crowd. What did he want to do?"
Charles Xavier was talking to himself in his wheelchair, before he could figure it out. The silver-haired old man next to him interrupted his thoughts.
"I remember that Iceman's brother is an ordinary person. That is humankind's own business. Why do you care so much? Could it be that you have changed your principles and are willing to take the initiative to attack ordinary people?"
Magneto was injured in a battle with Shaw in London. His strength is a bit lacking now, but his tone can be heard full of ridicule and sarcasm for these old friends. Competition and cooperation seem to be eternal themes. Even now under the same roof, they still have to talk to each other from time to time.
Compared to Magneto, the professor has more worries. After Eric's group took over the college, it developed extremely rapidly. Even he was frightened by the power gathered by tens of thousands of mutants. Moreover, times are different now. Many people know how to interfere with his mind control, which greatly weakens his power. Charles, whose mind control has failed, is almost the same as an ordinary old man, while small characters like Ronnie They were also wearing equipment to resist spiritual power, which showed that they were obviously prepared, and it was not just as simple as taking the opportunity to cause a few riots among the people.
Charles pondered for a while again, suddenly shuddered, and turned his head sharply to look south. The huge spiritual power instantly crossed hundreds of miles and descended directly on the most important building in the country in Washington.
The next moment he groaned and closed his eyes in pain.
"Pietro brought someone into the White House" Without waiting for Magneto to ask, the professor told what he saw.
The silver-haired old man laughed so hard that he was out of breath.
"Charles, Charles." He called his old friend's name affectionately and stood up triumphantly. "He eventually followed my path, and I knew he would. From 1962 to the present, I finally won the war between us."
"Who is the winner? Magneto!" The silver-haired old man raised his hands in the air and rushed out of the dean's office like a satisfied child.
Wearing an elegant and luxurious red dress, Qin was walking alone in the abandoned streets. Today, she no longer needed to pay attention to the actions of young people. Eric was the one she wanted to pay attention to.
When she closed her eyes, the material world immediately dimmed, and lines of gray and white replaced the colorful external environment, opening the essence of things to her without reservation.
Now the original appearance of the outside world has disappeared. There is no sky full of dust and blazing flames, and the constant bursts of thunder and roars no longer exist. The entire city has become a flat and desolate land, with a huge shadow appearing in the center of the land. , like thick dark clouds hanging over the city, invisible swallowing up all the colors and light.
In this dense dark cloud, there is a person closest to her. Even in the midst of an unprecedented fierce battle, she is still emitting a bright and bright light.
Smiling slightly, Qin was about to walk into the dark clouds, but suddenly stopped again.
There is a problem ahead.
Seeing her stop, the two people hiding nearby revealed their whereabouts one after another.
"Qin Gray", a man wearing a red tuxedo with a diamond shape painted on his forehead first called Qin's name. "My lord, Nathaniel Essex, perhaps you have heard my name, and it is a pleasure to see you here."
Qin didn't say anything. She knew that this was a mad scientist who had been secretly thinking about her and Scott's genes, thinking that they could combine the genes of Phoenix and Cyclops to create the most powerful mutant. It was said that he had also created A clone of himself was sent to Scott, but it was eliminated by the clever White Queen Emma's design.
So besides him, who is the other person?
Another man stood up. He was unusually tall, with gray skin and blue lips. People could feel his power at first sight.
This is the apocalypse. In 1943, Eric used a Rubik's Cube to throw him into a wormhole and send him out of the earth. Unexpectedly, he returned to the familiar world at this time.
"Your man exiled me to the other side of the universe seventy years ago. I finally returned to Earth with the help of Thanos' power. Don't even think about intervening in their battle. Today is the day you will perish."
Apocalypse laughed ferociously and approached with Essex.
Facing two powerful enemies alone, Qin was not afraid, her hair fluttered gently, and dazzling white light surrounded her.
Although he was in the fiercest battle, Eric also received news from Qin and knew that she was temporarily stopped by an unexpected opponent. However, he was not surprised. On the contrary, he was at the most powerful moment in history, even if he was destroyed. Ba, the overlord of the universe, is also feeling more and more strenuous.
With the help of this alien invasion, the will of the residents around New York was united. One person's thoughts may be extremely small, but thousands of people prayed for rescue at the same time and shouted his name with all their hearts, forming a deep The vast electromagnetic field echoes it faintly from a level invisible to the naked eye.
In the past, he had been exposed to the power of this kind of mind. It was indeed mysterious, but today this profound and vast force field still gave him an indescribable joy.
"This is the power of faith. The minds of countless people have brewed and sublimated, and they have condensed into such magnificent and profound fruits."
Eric's body is still fighting and his energy is still running, but his soul has jumped to a new level, and even Thanos, who holds the soul gem in his hand, has not noticed it.
All kinds of thoughts swirled around, and even a shallow touch could bring him endless inspiration. The three infinity stones in his body seemed to no longer exist in a trance. Their essence was completely extracted, and their external forms became redundant. Slowly they were expelled and floated on the palms of both hands and forehead.
This feeling was extremely wonderful, full of unprecedented whimsical thoughts and indescribable subtle knowledge. They immersed him in the boundless ocean and fully understood the mysteries of the universe.
At this time, Thanos seemed to realize that something was wrong. He tried to slow down the attack, and Eric also lowered his defense intensity accordingly - he was in a state of mind and was just responding based on his body's instinctive intuition.
Thanos snorted, his protruding purple chin raised high, and his mind quickly turned around.down, then suddenly approached Eric and raised his right hand towards him.
With a flash of blue light, the Cosmic Cube, which was reduced in size and embedded in the golden glove, released a wave of fluctuations.
The next two people disappeared at the same time, disappearing into the void like the free wind. (To be continued)
