Chapter 284
"But I think neither the Federation nor Utopia can bear the risk brought by Professor Charles losing control. We should be able to find a better method!"
The Middle-aged Man was from the Federal Department of Defense, a Senior Official in the Secretary of Defense's Office. When he heard Magneto's words, he noticed the red-haired woman rushing over.
Jean Grey, formerly a Master at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, a member of the X-Men, and currently serving as the Ministry of Education of Utopia.
Information about the woman quickly filtered through his mind.
The Department of Defense had a secret list marked with danger levels. This secret list recorded many dangerous individuals with powerful mutant abilities who could threaten the national security of the Federation.
Professor Charles was high on the list, and Magneto was at the top. However, Jean Grey, who seemed harmless and had no significant battle achievements, was not on it.
He didn't think Jean Grey had the ability to control the situation if Professor Charles lost control.
Therefore, the Person in Charge sent by the Federal Department of Defense directly rejected Magneto's suggestion to use Jean Grey to wake Professor Charles, insisting on finding other methods.
And his so-called other methods...
"Your so-called better method is to turn Charles into an idiot! You son of a bitch, Charles is one of us from Utopia, it's not your place, the Federation, to dictate things!"
Upon hearing the official's words, Magneto immediately clenched his fists, his complexion turning extremely ugly. Usually a man of excellent self-restraint, he directly cursed at the official.
Dr. Reed Richards keenly noticed that at this instant, all the metal in the entire Treatment Room was vibrating slightly.
Clearly, the energy Magneto had accumulated from his rage had reached the verge of eruption.
Dr. Reed Richards nudged Banner with his elbow. When Bruce Banner turned back, he gave him an inquiring gaze.
"The Experts and Doctors at the Base suggested directly cutting off Professor Charles's prefrontal lobe!" Banner whispered quietly in Dr. Reed Richards's ear as he turned back.
"This?" Dr. Reed Richards immediately understood why Magneto was so enraged after hearing this.
The Federation had truly gone too far in this matter.
Professor Charles had suffered an accident while protecting this Forward Base, and instead of actively providing aid, the Federation wanted to permanently turn Professor Charles into an idiot.
Turning this dangerous individual into an idiot with no ability to care for himself.
No wonder everyone gathered here had unpleasant expressions.
Admittedly, a Professor Charles who had lost control threatened the safety of the entire World. From the perspective of all humanity, what the Federation did was not wrong.
But the Federation completely disregarded the feelings of the others present.
Putting others aside, even he himself felt extremely uncomfortable hearing the Federation's attitude towards Professor Charles.
Voluntary sacrifice is great; being voluntarily sacrificed is a conspiracy.
No one wants to be the one sacrificed.
"Mr. President, this is a necessary decision I must make to protect World safety! I hope you can understand. I believe Professor Charles, if he knew, would understand and support this decision," the official still tried to persuade Magneto to make a decision quickly.
"Get lost!" Magneto returned a cold Gaze to the official. "If you made this decision on behalf of the Federal Government, then I don't mind declaring war on the Federation!"
Buzz buzz buzz buzz—
As if to prove his determination, all the metal items in the entire Treatment Room simultaneously levitated, aiming at everyone in the Treatment Room except for the Mutant group.
And some radical Mutants in the crowd also prepared for attack, following Magneto.
A few Department of Defense Soldiers brought by the official in the crowd reached for their waists, ready to draw their guns at any moment.
Frank waved his hand, signaling his S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents to start moving, quietly separating the Mutants from the Department of Defense Soldiers.
Looking at Magneto's bloodshot eyes, the official swallowed, but still talked tough, "Mr. President, I hope you take responsibility for your words! Declaring war on the Federation, with Utopia's national strength..."
Buzz! As soon as the official finished speaking, a scalpel, vibrating at high speed, shot directly towards his face.
For a moment, the official seemed to see the scene of his skull being pierced.
Whoosh! Just as Dr. Reed Richards was about to stretch out his elastic arm to block the scalpel, a laser shot out from the side, deflecting the scalpel.
The blazing high temperature of the laser directly melted the scalpel into a pile of red-hot scrap metal, which fell to the ground with a clang.
Click, click!
Tony Stark, under everyone's gaze, lowered his arm. At his wrist, the arm component of his nanotech armor slowly retracted into the Arc Reactor on his chest like mercury.
"Calm down. I know everyone is very agitated right now, but you'd better try to restrain your emotions."
Facing the gazes directed at him, Tony Stark reached out and tapped his black wrist device a few times. A virtual image of a brain CT scan image appeared on the wrist device.
Tony Stark pointed to an area in the scanned brain CT virtual image and explained to the crowd, "Cutting off the prefrontal lobe can indeed turn a normal person into an idiot. This is a method used by psychiatric hospitals to deal with some manic patients!
But clearly, our patient here is not a manic patient!"
"If his psychic energy is truly powerful enough to control the life and death of everyone on Earth, then the physical body is a wall that controls this vast strength for him.
If the prefrontal lobe is cut off, it's equivalent to us manually dismantling a dam blocking a flood!"
Tony Stark looked at the sweating Department of Defense official. "Once he is controlled by someone, the damage to Earth will be catastrophic. You can call the White House now and ask if those people in the White House can accept this consequence!"
Without waiting for the official to refute or answer, Tony Stark turned to look at Magneto. "Just now, when that giant snake devoured that unknown creature, a Void Channel appeared in the Void Space.
I used an energy scanner to scan that energy passage and unexpectedly detected a mental fluctuation. Just now, when I was doing a brainwave analysis for Professor Charles, I found that the similarity between this mental fluctuation and Professor Charles's brainwave frequency was as high as 96%!"
"You mean Charles fell into the hands of that Angel, that unknown creature..."
Magneto couldn't help but frown upon hearing Tony Stark's words.
If that unknown creature was truly an Angel, wouldn't the end of that Passage be Heaven?
Thinking of Charles, his old friend of many years, going to "Heaven"! Professor Charles felt a very strange feeling in his heart.
"Is there any method to bring Charles back?"
Magneto gazed at Tony Stark and asked.
Regardless of whether the opposite side was Heaven or not, he needed to bring his old friend back.
"I tried to locate that Passage, but unfortunately, the Passage was open for too short a time!" Tony Stark shook his head.
"The energy detector didn't capture the position of that Passage! I need time..."
"There is another method, which is to locate Professor Charles's mental fluctuation! As long as I find where his mental fluctuation is, I can locate the space fluctuation.
But we need a coordinate point!"
