Chapter 70: You Don't Play Your Cards According to the Routine!
🕑 Added 2025-03-13 15:59:45 +0000 UTCAaron's meaning was obvious.
To avoid the appearance of another personality, Jean Grey must be sent to a place of absolute peace, free from any crisis.
But the Mutant Academy had clearly failed.
Where else would be suitable?
He couldn’t think of a suitable place on Earth.
Because there were crises everywhere.
The conflict between Mutants and ordinary people was intensifying. Even if he tried his best to maintain peace, he had no confidence that the two groups could coexist peacefully.
Unless Jean was sent somewhere other than Earth.
For example, the so-called domain of the gods?
Charles’ eyes flashed, and he looked at Aaron and the others, full of suspicion.
To be honest, he didn’t actually believe that the other party was a so-called god.
What if they were just using the guise of gods to lure Jean Grey away?
They could exploit the destructive power within her to do something irreversible.
Charles understood human nature very well.
Once someone realized the power inside Jean, they would try to control it at any cost.
This was something he had never mentioned to Jean.
It was too dangerous!
“Aaron, why don’t we take her to Asgard and use Asgard’s technology to see if we can find a solution?”
“After the All-Father wakes up, I can also ask him how to suppress this force. I believe that with the All-Father's magnificent power, there must be a way.”
Sif couldn’t help but suggest.
In her view, the Father of Gods, Odin, was omnipotent.
Once he learned of Jean’s situation, he could certainly solve it.
“No! Jean can’t go with you!”
Scott and Logan said in unison, then they looked at each other and snorted.
Scott continued: “You say you’re gods from Asgard, but who knows if you’re telling the truth?”
“If an alien, Mutant, who came out of nowhere, handed Jean over to you, wouldn’t it be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?”
“People of Midgard! The glory of Asgard is not something you can question!” Fandral drew his sword and warned.
“Anyone who dares to question Asgard will end up like that old man, locked in there.”
“YOU!!!”
Scott wanted to say more, but Charles raised his hand to stop him.
He knew in his heart that no matter whether Aaron and the others were the legendary gods or not, they weren’t people they could provoke.
Magneto was a lesson from the past.
Magneto, with the helmet on, was someone even they didn’t dare to confront.
But now, locked in a diamond cage by Aaron, there was nothing they could do.
“Please forgive me, but Jean’s matter is very important. If we can’t confirm the authenticity of Asgard, I’m afraid we won’t be able to bring Jean there.”
“She’s very dangerous! It endangers the safety of the Nine Realms. Whether you agree or not, it is safest to bring her to the realm of the gods.”
“There are the bravest warriors in the Nine Realms, the greatest magician, the most powerful All-Father, and the most advanced defense technology!”
“No one can sneak under the all-seeing gaze of the guardian god…”
Thinking of the Frost Titan incident earlier, Sif lacked confidence and added, “No one can break into Asgard without permission and leave safely!”
Thor added, “You’re missing one detail, though: there’s also the invincible Thor!”
Sif glared at him angrily.
Even so, Charles was still unmoved. He had doubts.
Aaron understood their worries.
But he couldn’t let them probe his soul.
Just as they doubted their true identities, he doubted their character as well.
“Heimdall is watching. Ask him to take Charles on a tour of the realm of the gods.”
Aaron made a compromise suggestion.
Heimdall’s all-seeing eye could share vision and hearing.
Moreover, with the power of Charles’ mind, it would be impossible to probe Heimdall’s memory across an unknown distance of galaxies.
This method was undoubtedly the best way to solve the problem.
“Good idea!”
Sif and the others agreed, “When they see the magnificence of Asgard, they will naturally know that the realm of the gods is far beyond Midgard.”
“Then it’s decided!”
“Heimdall!”
The Bifrost.
Heimdall heard the call.
In fact, before and after Aaron’s arrival, he had been monitoring developments.
Although he was skeptical about the Midgardians who could threaten the safety of the Nine Realms,
This couldn’t be taken lightly; even if there was only a 1% chance, it had to be treated seriously.
So, he communicated with Charles mentally and then shared the all-seeing eye, leading him on a journey to the majestic, magnificent homeland of the gods—Asgard!
Charles’ vision began to change rapidly.
From Earth, he suddenly found himself in a strange land.
This place was resplendent and magnificent, filled with mysteries and landscapes beyond human imagination.
There were technologies and phenomena here that were impossible for Mutants to replicate…
At that moment, a convoy appeared in the distance.
There was even an Apache gunship as an escort.
In the suspicious eyes of everyone, they arrived.
“Is this one of yours?” Thor asked.
“No! They seem to be from S.H.I.E.L.D.? And an army.”
Seeing that Jean hadn’t yet recovered from her own troubles, Orolo explained.
“S.H.I.E.L.D. is a special agency in this country, and we cooperate with them on certain matters.
“This operation was reported to them, and their chief notified them to find you.”
“The specifics are handled by the professor and the other party; we don’t know much about S.H.I.E.L.D.”
“The masters of Midgard? I don’t know how powerful their warriors are.”
Thor rubbed his fists excitedly.
Even though he had lost his divine power, his warlike heart hadn’t faded.
After seeing the powerful side of Mutants, he felt that Midgard’s people were strong.
After all, even a powerful man like Magneto had not become the king of Midgard. Does that mean the upper echelons were even stronger?
So, Thor had high expectations.
Looking at Thor’s excitement for some reason, Aaron looked strangely at him.
Are the United States’ fighters strong?
Maybe?
But to Asgard, they were nothing…
The convoy arrived before the group.
A middle-aged man with a large belly, surrounded by soldiers with guns, stepped forward.
A black-clad agent beside him pulled out an ID card and said to the Mutants, “We are S.H.I.E.L.D.! Now everything here is under our control, and we have nothing to do with you.”
After saying this, the middle-aged man looked at Aaron and the others. He thought of the order from above and said with a smirk, “Guests from beyond the sky, thank you for helping us capture the number one terrorist, Magneto.
“Magneto has launched terrorist attacks multiple times, and this time he attempted to steal items that belong to us.”
“We had a hard time catching him this time, and we sincerely hope that you’ll hand him over for custody.”
“Sir, they’ve decided to hand over Magneto to us…” Ororo said aside.
“Shut up, dirty Mutant. This isn’t your business!” the middle-aged man shouted.
“Who are you talking to?”
Logan, already furious over Jean’s situation, showed his claws and glared at the man.
“Mutant, do you want to challenge America?”
The middle-aged man was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly recovered and said viciously.
The soldiers behind him raised their M16s and aimed at Logan and the others.
Seeing this, Orolo immediately stopped Logan from charging.
Charles still hadn’t acted, and with their current abilities, there was no way they could fight against a group of fully equipped U.S. soldiers.
Moreover, the Apache helicopter gunship in the sky had its weapons aimed at them.
Any movement would result in devastating force.
“Damn it, S.H.I.E.L.D. is going back on its word! Didn’t they say we would settle this matter? Now they send a group of people to take over!”
Scott placed his hands on his glasses defensively.
“They’re not S.H.I.E.L.D. agents!”
Orolo said firmly.
And Aaron smiled knowingly.
The Snake Shield Bureau moved quickly, exactly as he expected, mirroring HYDRA’s acting style.
Pierce was still clever. The manpower dispatched this time was from nearby troops, with only a few Snake Shield agents.
Even if the final plan failed, it wouldn’t raise suspicion from Nick Fury.
He could always blame the military or even the United Nations.
Seeing the Mutants remain quiet, the middle-aged man smiled at Aaron and the others.
“What should we do, Aaron?”
Sif frowned, confused.
“Hey, stop! That’s my hammer!”
Thor suddenly yelled.
Several people looked over, and some were actually attempting to take possession of Mjolnir.
“What do you mean?” Sif demanded.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, “The location of this thing is within Americas territory, so it’s American property.”
“He’s mine, he’s Asgard!” Thor raged.
“But none of you can actually lift it, can you?”
The middle-aged man had clearly planned this ahead. He had done his homework on Phil Coulson’s side.
“Are you ready to force yourselves?”
Fandral and the others stepped forward to defend Mjolnir. They would not allow anyone to take Asgard’s treasure.
“No, I’m just stating a fact.”
“If you can’t lift it, then it’s ours.”
The middle-aged man showed little fear.
Before they arrived, they knew the Mutants had no conflict with Asgard. That meant they were civilized and reasonable.
But for the Asgardians, the middle-aged man was about to learn that they would not back down.
The three warriors didn’t listen to him.
The battle quickly escalated into chaos.
