Charles's previously indifferent expression froze instantly, and he slowly turned his head to look at Luo Xing.
One of the main reasons why the future renowned Professor X has fallen into such a state of depravity is that Mystique Raven disagrees with his views and chooses to follow Magneto.

One of the main reasons why the future renowned Professor X has fallen into such a state of depravity is that Mystique Raven disagrees with his views and chooses to follow Magneto.
Although he said he didn't care and didn't want to go, he definitely wouldn't sit still if Mystique's life was involved.
If Magneto represents friendship to Charles, then Mystique represents a complex mix of familial, platonic, and romantic love.
"Didn't you understand? Let Wanda kill Mystique, and the future will be saved."
Luo Xing leaned against the table, her arms crossed.
“Good idea. If this coward is unwilling to help us, then we’ll do as you say.”
Wolverine then stood next to Luo Xing, indicating his agreement.
He wasn't simply using reverse psychology on Professor X.
If Professor X were to truly be in such a state and still choose to remain a useless escapist, Wolverine, for the sake of future mutants, would absolutely not hesitate to help Los Angeles eliminate Mystique Raven.
"This little girl? What are her abilities?"
Charles forced a smile and turned his gaze to Wanda.
"Don't look down on little girls. You will meet a little girl named Qin in the future. Believe me, she will be a nightmare for all of us."
Wolverine closed his eyes slightly and spoke to Charles.
In his timeline, Jean Grey was killed by him because the Phoenix Force went berserk.
When Jean Grey was found by Professor X and Magneto, she was just a little girl.
"Don't doubt it, even if the core of a Death Star were in front of her, she could destroy it."
Luo Xing made no attempt to hide his praise for Wanda's abilities, making Wanda herself feel a little embarrassed.
Wanda had only just awakened her abilities and had only used them once, so she had no idea where her limits were or whether she was as powerful as Luo Xing had said.
"Try it."
Charles took a silver goblet from behind his back, placed it on the table, and gestured to Wanda.
"I……"
Wanda instinctively looked at Luo Xing, seeking his opinion.
"Don't worry, you can do it easily. Just focus your mind and energy."
Luo Xing smiled and said to Wanda.
Just kidding. The Infinity Stones are things that Thanos would need half his life to destroy even with six Infinity Stones in the Infinity Gauntlet, but Scarlet Witch could completely annihilate them in just a few minutes. What's a small silver goblet compared to that?
At least a vibranium glass or an adamantium glass would be befit his status, right?
click!
As expected, encouraged by Luo Xing, even Wanda, who had just awakened her abilities, was able to easily destroy the Silver Goblet.
“I’ll join you, and I’ll do everything I can to stop her, even if she’s no longer listening to me.”
As the crimson energy in Wanda's hand dissipated, Charles, looking at the silver goblet that was now completely devoid of any residue, spoke with a grim face.
"So we also need Magneto. In the future, you and he will send me back together."
Wolverine looked at Charles seriously and said.
Ten minutes later, Luo Xing and his group arrived at the Pentagon, the national defense headquarters building, in two cars.
"The room where he was imprisoned was built during World War II. Its foundation was made of pure cement and sand, without any metal."
"He's being held captive 100 stories below a heavily guarded building. How do you plan to get in?"
Charles, holding onto the car door, looked at the towering building in the distance and asked.
"Pete, it's all up to you."
Wolverine looked at Pietro.
"I?!"
Pietro pointed at himself in surprise. "I mean, I just gained the ability, can I really do it?"
"Yes, believe in yourself. In my memory, you can go anywhere in the world. This place is nothing more than your backyard."
Wolverine nodded encouragingly and patted Pietro on the shoulder.
"Go ahead, take your phone with you. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, just call me. Don't try to be strong."
Seeing Pietro looking down at him, Luo Xing nodded in agreement.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. special agent cell phone, after being modified by Skye, not only has an internal network but is also immune to signal jamming.
With the technology of the 70s, this high-tech mobile phone was far superior to any electronic computer.
"Wait, if I may be so bold, your mutant ability is..."
Charles suddenly remembered that he had witnessed Wanda and Pietro's abilities, but as for Lo Xing... he seemed to have directly seen him conjure a humanoid soldier.
"I'm not a mutant, as for my abilities..."
Luo Xing watched Quicksilver Pietro, who had already transformed into a streak of silver light and rushed into the Pentagon, and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, you'll find out in a little while."
Chapter 52 Sand Control? Just the Basics
Hank McCoy pointed to a group of people in the distance and addressed the group.
It's 73 now, and they already have rudimentary black-and-white surveillance. To get in on Pietro, they must also enter the system.
Hank McCoy pointed to a group of people in the distance and addressed the group.
It is now 73, and there is already a rudimentary black-and-white surveillance system. In order to meet Pietro, they must also enter the system and then solve the surveillance problem.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this building was constructed in..."
The tour guide explained the origins of the Pentagon while leading the group on a tour.
At this moment, Hank took out a small signal transmitter, intending to interfere with the surveillance.
drip.
After adjusting the antenna, Hank switched all the monitor feeds to television programs.
"Hello? There's a signal problem here. Come and fix it when you have time."
The people in the monitoring room didn't realize it was an intrusion. Instead, the boring monitoring turned into a TV program, and after reporting it, they all watched the program with great pleasure.
With the surveillance cameras gone, Luo Xing and his group left the crowd and headed towards the office elevator.
"You just said we'd find out about your abilities soon, does that mean the child will be discovered?"
After pressing the elevator button, Wolverine turned to look at Luo Xing and asked a question.
"That's what it means."
Luo Xing did not deny it; he directly admitted it.
In the original storyline, Quicksilver had to wear goggles when running at full speed to prevent eye damage, and he would even feel nauseous if he ran too fast.
So let alone Pietro, who had only recently gained his abilities and hadn't even had a couple of familiarization sessions with them.
Nausea and vision problems are minor issues; he might even injure himself if he loses control.
After all, Pietro's speed is simply fast, not the incredible speed of the Flash from DC Comics.
Speed is power.
Ding.
"Who are you—ah!"
The elevator was halfway down when the doors opened. Before the group could even speak, Wolverine knocked them unconscious with a few punches, closed the doors, and continued downstairs.
"Then it seems we need to speed things up," Wolverine said, wiping his fist.
"I don't like it this way."
Charles pursed his lips upon seeing this.
"If you were capable, we wouldn't need to lift a finger."
Wolverine glanced at Charles and said.
drip.
Luo Xing's cell phone suddenly rang.
Wolverine and Professor X, who were arguing, both turned their gazes toward him.
"Pete is in trouble."
"Hank, Logan, grab Charles."
"Wanda, grab me."
Luo Xing quickly reminded everyone, then raised his right hand, and the entire elevator, along with the walls, turned into yellow sand, carrying the group of people as it rapidly began to fall.
This is the most basic ability of the Desert Emperor in his Ascended form: he can transform matter into manipulable sand.
The difficulty of transformation, from easiest to hardest, is as follows: sand, soil and glass, stone and plastic, the remains of dead organisms, and metal.
If you want to turn a kilogram of iron into sand, the magic power required is enough to transform a mountain on Luo Xing.
As luck would have it, the cage designed to imprison Magneto contained no metal whatsoever; it was entirely made of cement and glass. For Luo Xing, manipulating and transforming this sand was a piece of cake.
"Stop, don't move!"
The prison guard, holding a transparent plastic pistol, aimed it at Pietro, who was leaning against the wall and vomiting. He then took out plastic handcuffs and slowly approached.
wow——
"what have you done?"
Under the horrified gazes of several prison guards, the plastic pistols in their hands, along with the plastic bullets inside, turned into sand and slipped from their fingertips.
