…
Aided by his quick reflexes, Hawking held Storm in one hand and Nightcrawler in the other, quickly retreating and dodging Cyclops’s red beams.
Magneto, who was walking at the front, raised his hand and shielded himself with a piece of machinery ripped from the surrounding.
“It’s a teacher from your school. You can solve it yourself.”
Magneto and Mystique pressed on, abandoning Hawking and the others.
“It won’t take that long, I’ll do it!”
Hawking shouted loudly, and he quickly rushed towards Cyclops.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Seeing Hawking’s attack, Cyclops quickly pressed the switch on his laser glasses. Red beams flashed in quick succession.
However, Hawking was faster and more agile. He jumped up and down like a monkey, dodging every shot.
But the closer you get, the harder it is to dodge.
Just like a pistol. It is fast from beyond five steps, but it is fast and accurate within five steps.
Being closer increased both their chances to get a hit.
“Hawking, get out of the way!”
Hawking already rushed out when Storm realized what happened.
Before she was ready to activate her abilities to help, Hawking had already rushed to a place less than one meter away from Cyclops.
But for some reason, he suddenly stopped there.
The Cyclops showed no mercy, aiming right at Hawking’s head before shooting his red beam.
A point blank shot from Cyclops can turn normal people’s head into watermelon juice.
Unfortunately, despite Storm’s wide range of lightning and storm attacks, she cannot help quickly due to the slow activation time of her abilities and the restrictions in this base.
As for the Night Walker who can teleport next to her, he is originally a devout Christian and has no professional training at all. He was still in a daze after being attacked just now.
But then her eyes widened, because the red shock wave passed directly through Hawking’s body, as if Hawking standing there was just a shadow.
“It’s over!”
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Cyclops. Before he could turn his head, he felt a pain in his neck and fainted.
Storm discovered that Hawking had unexpectedly jumped above Cyclops and hit him on the neck.
“Wow… So strong! “
From Cyclops’ sneak attack to the end of the battle, it only takes three seconds at most.
Within three seconds, Hawking knocked out the man with rich combat experience. Cyclops was a main combat personnel of X-men, so Storm’s surprise was understandable.
She hadn’t realized just how much Wolverine’s compliment had meant. She realized that Wolverine hadn’t exaggerated Hawking’s abilities. She wasn’t even sure she could win against Hawking in close range.
You really need wisdom above wisdom, and you need strength above strength.
Hawking picked Cyclops’ limp body and returned to the others, before shouting to Magneto and Mystique a few steps in front of them.
“I took care of it! Don’t be so hasty, let’s go together!”
Cyclops was very powerful. He constantly absorbed the surrounding energy through the body and metabolizes it into concussive shock waves, which are released from the eyes.
If you take off the laser glasses that control the shock wave and release it at full force, he would look like a human-shaped laser cannon. His power can easily destroy most buildings and kill most enemies instantly.
There were no cooldown. He could fire the beam as fast as he want.
The only weakness is that his physical fitness is not strong, his fighting ability is relatively weak, and he is easily knocked down at close range.
And then most common problem among X-Men is that they are too soft-hearted. They were willing to wound bot not kill, which invisibly weakens their combat effectiveness.
Just now, Hawking used the afterimage technique to mislead Cyclops, and then jumped up and knocked him out.
If they were in more open area, and if Cyclops didn’t hesitate to kill, he wouldn’t have won/
“…”
Magneto was both impressed and stunned.
He was impressed by Hawking’s combat prowess, especially at such a young age. He was stunned that his plan to use Cyclops as distraction had been ruined.
Moving forward, they saw the door to the Cerebro in less than two minutes, guarded by a group of elites.
Magneto raised his finger, and the guards were massacred by their own weapons without any resistance.
But before they took their final steps, Storm, Nightcrawler, Cyclops and Mystique all screamed and fell to the ground, covering their heads. Hawking immediately reacted and pretended to be the same.
This meant that Stryker’s son, the master of illusion, had already controlled Professor X to locate and kill all the mutants in the world with his abilities.
Only Magneto, with his mental shielding helmet, was unaffected.
He raised his hands, activated his abilities with all his strength, and forcibly shut the Cerebro down.
The Cerebro was built by Stryker based on the design drawings obtained from Magneto’s mind. He naturally knew all the details.
Without the boost from Cerebro, Professor X will no longer be able to locate mutants, and they will naturally be safe.
However, the moment Cerebro was turned off, Magneto opened the door and dragged Mystique in with him.
Storm and the other had yet to recover when the Cerebro was locked back up.
The door to Cerebro was made of Adamantium alloy, making it extremely durable. An attack strong enough to destroy the door would affect the entire room, likely killing Professor X.
So, as long as the door is closed, Magneto can rest easy. He could then tell Mystique to transform into Stryker and gave the order to the master of illusion so Professor X would kill all humans instead of all mutants.
“Triple Afterimage Fist!”
Hawking began his actions.
He wasn’t a mutant, so he wasn’t affected by the mental attack. He launched the afterimage technique to leave an afterimage on the floor as his real body rushed into Cerebro before the door closed.
“How reckless!”
Magneto sensed Hawking rushing at him and instinctively activated his powers. A coin burst out of his pocket right at Hawking’s eyebrow.
Although he admires Hawking very much, if Hawking interferes with the plan to exterminate mankind, he will not hesitate to kill him.
However, the coin passed harmlessly through Hawking’s body just like the shock wave from Cyclops before.
“Crack!”
A sound of a broken neck came from behind, and Magneto hurriedly turned around with an angry look on his face.
Hawking somehow reached the master of illusion and broke his neck.
“It’s over. Of course, if you want to play around, I’ll accompany you!”
Hawking let go of the Master’s neck and smiled.
