The Dilapidated Academy

"This place is also a mess. Looks like you guys haven't had it easy either."

As soon as they got off the plane, everyone saw the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in a semi-destroyed state.

Seeing this, Nick Fury immediately guessed that this place was also a disaster zone.

"Daddy."

At that moment, a little girl ran over and hugged Magneto, who looked down at her with a loving expression.

But right then, Tohka felt a whirlwind flash by, and a white-haired young man suddenly appeared in front of the crowd.

This person looked at Magneto, who was hugging his daughter, with a somewhat complicated expression, but said nothing.

"Who is this guy?"

Seeing Quicksilver appear so suddenly, Nick Fury was startled.

There's a saying: in martial arts, speed trumps all—when a person's speed reaches a certain level, they become very troublesome.

Seeing this, Nick Fury was somewhat relieved he didn't make a move—this guy alone could probably cripple half his squad.

"His name is Quicksilver. Hello, Miss Tohka."

At that moment, Jean Grey, who had previously met Tohka once, stepped out and came before the group.

"Professor Charles was taken. Even though we all tried to stop it, we couldn't."

"Nani? What did you just say?"

Even Tony found it unbelievable when he heard this.

Just look at who's here—two of the most powerful known mutants, Magneto and Professor Charles, plus that speedster—and yet someone still managed to break in and take Charles?

"What on earth happened? How could even Charles get captured?"

"You have to know, there aren't many people in this world capable of such a thing."

Hearing this, Nick Fury asked seriously.

With Magneto cooperating with Charles, theoretically, such a thing should be impossible.

After all, this world hasn't yet produced many extraordinarily powerful beings, and in his view, Magneto, Charles, and Tohka were already standing at the top of Earth.

As for Thor, he didn't count him—for he was a 'God' and hard to compare directly.

"We don't know. We've never seen that person before."

"We haven't even heard of him."

"Today, the Professor detected a disturbance and used his psychic power to investigate. But that guy invaded his mind directly."

"Then he used the Professor's powers to launch those nuclear missiles."

Jean Grey paused here, then continued, "His power is extremely strong. Even with all of us working together, we couldn't hurt him.

We're not even sure if he's a mutant.

So, we came here to ask for someone's help."

After speaking, Jean Grey said no more.

Instead, she looked at Tohka with hopeful eyes.

Clearly, in her eyes, only Tohka could help.

She also knew that Tohka possessed a power comparable to the Phoenix Force within her.

And she still remembered—the last message they received from Charles before he was captured was to seek Tohka's help.

"This..."

Following Jean Grey's words, Tohka instantly became the center of attention.

No one had expected that this group would actually ask Tohka for help.

Being able to stand against attacks from Magneto and the others already exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Report! Sir, urgent situation."

While the group was talking, Hill suddenly reported to Nick Fury: "We've received intel from Egypt—someone has destroyed the pyramids and is now constructing a new one."

As she spoke, Agent Hill played a shocking video.

But at the same time, a brand-new, even larger pyramid was being constructed.

"This is..."

Even Tony was shocked.

This kind of power completely exceeded his imagination.

It wasn't something humans should be capable of.

"Looks like I have no choice but to go. Let's move."

Seeing this, Tohka realized she had to take action.

It wasn't about being a saint—if that guy gained Professor Charles' power, with his enormous mental strength, the world could be destroyed by him.

And people she knew could be killed by him at any moment.

So Tohka knew—she had to fight.

"You go. This is a matter for mutants. Tohka, go as my representative. We won't go. And I have to deal with other nations now."

Seeing this, Nick Fury decided not to send anyone else.

Not even Tony.

A powerful mutant could easily destroy a small country.

And you never know when such people might appear—that's one of the reasons so many fear mutants.

"Alright then. I'll leave it to you. I'm heading back."

After giving Tohka a wave, Tony left.

He didn't believe his armor could handle that guy anyway.

Seeing this, he had already decided—he needed to bring out a stronger suit.

Clearly, the power he currently had was still too weak.

If it were just Tohka, that'd be one thing—but now someone even more powerful had appeared.

Still, he had his pride.

As a scientist, he believed that technology could overcome all obstacles.

To this, Tohka could only say: "You're the least scientific one of us all."

"Follow me. We're heading out."

Seeing this, the group didn't dare delay.

Jean Grey immediately led everyone to an underground facility.

As for Nick Fury, he didn't leave either.

He stayed and set up camp, and pulled out his communication gear to start reporting the situation to the higher-ups.

"Hello, Tohka."

On the plane, Jean Grey began introducing the team members for this mission.

This was Tohka's first time meeting other X-Men besides the ones she'd seen before—Magneto, Quicksilver, and others like Nightcrawler, Beast, Mystique, etc.

There were others she was familiar with too, like Nightcrawler, Beast, Mystique, and so on.

"By the way, I wanted to ask—did the person you encountered earlier have any subordinates with him?"

Because if she remembered correctly, Apocalypse seemed to have an obsessive compulsion.

Whenever he appeared, he'd always bring along his Four Horsemen, no matter what.

That was the first step—assembling the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse.

And if she recalled correctly, Magneto in the original story was one of them.

Back then, his power had been enhanced to terrifying levels—practically reaching Omega-level mutant status.

At that time, he could even control elements in the Earth's crust—and nearly tore the entire continent apart.
