American Comics: Multiverse of Madness.

Chapter 682 Come to Me
“Ah!.Ahhh!!”

Charles woke up from his nightmare with a series of unconscious wails.

At this moment, his body was covered with sweat, and the entire bed sheet was soaked with cold sweat. Charles opened his eyes blankly, and in front of him were Polaris and Caliban with worried faces.

"Charles, are you okay, Charles, professor?" Caliban came closer to Charles, holding an obvious syringe in his hand, as if he was ready to give Charles an injection at any time.

Polaris next to her also had a face full of fear. At this moment, she was no longer the little girl who knew nothing. After communicating with Caliban for a while, Polaris deeply understood the situation of this world. At the same time, she also knew how dangerous Charles was at this moment!

The key factor that turned Charles into a weapon of mass destruction was not Alzheimer's disease, but his epilepsy. Normally, he used drugs to treat and control it, and he looked harmless. But once Charles became ill, his brain would release powerful telepathy because of epilepsy.

This kind of mental coverage is uncontrollable like epilepsy. The terrifying telepathy will instantly paralyze the brains of a large range of creatures around. For ordinary people, this level of mental oppression is undoubtedly fatal.

Not only ordinary people, but even some mutants find it difficult to resist such powerful force, as can be seen from the tragic deaths of those X-Men.

It is precisely because of this that when Caliban and Polaris discovered that Charles was having a nightmare, they were extremely terrified. They were afraid that Charles would become ill because of the nightmare.

But fortunately, judging from the current situation, Charles can still control himself.

"Caliban, is that you?"

"Yes, it's me. Charles, how do you feel? Do you need some water?" Caliban quickly put away the syringe. He knew that Charles hated this thing and would make a fuss if he saw it.

Just when Caliban was about to get up to pour a glass of water, Charles suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm. Caliban didn't react, and he didn't know where Charles got such great strength from. Caliban was directly pulled down on the bed by him.

"Magneto!.Magneto is back!"

Charles opened his eyes wide, stared at Caliban with a sharp gaze, and spoke word by word.

"He wants to destroy the world. Quick! Call my X-Men!"

At first, Caliban was really scared to see Charles so anxious, but when he heard Charles' words, the expression on his face suddenly became speechless.

"Professor, that was your nightmare. Magneto is dead. He died a long, long time ago."

"He's really back! You have to believe me, cough cough. You have to believe me!" Charles grabbed Caliban's arm tightly and refused to let him leave.

"Stop it, Charles."

Caliban roughly pried Charles's hand away, then without looking back, he pulled Polaris out of his house.

"No! Come back, you damn albino, come back!"

Charles was still shouting, but Caliban, knowing Charles' character well, had no intention of paying any attention to him. He pushed Polaris out and slammed the door shut.

"I have to gather my X-Men!"

Charles was the only one left in the room. He slumped down on the bed. Seeing that there was no response to his cries, he simply placed his hand on his temple.

"X-Men, come to me!"

"Why. Why no response?"

"My X-Men, come to me!"

"Come and save me quickly"

"."

Outside the door, listening to the crying sounds coming from the bedroom, Polaris looked a little unhappy.

"Are we going too far? He is an old man, a sick one at that. Isn't it a bit too much to treat him like this?"

"I know what you're thinking. You must think I'm going too far, right?" Caliban looked at Polaris calmly and said softly. "I've taken care of Charles for several years. No one knows him better than me."

After a pause, Caliban led Polaris to the living room table and continued.

"I dealt with Charles in my early years. Charles is not as 'good' as you think. He looks like nothing special on the surface, but deep down he is an extremely arrogant guy, especially when he was young."

"What happened to him when he was young?" Polaris really didn't know Professor X's past.

"Do you know why in the early years, many mutants would rather wander around like me than join the X-Men?"

Hearing Caliban's question, Polaris shook her head slightly. "The reason is very simple. Young Charles simply regarded the X-Men as his own 'property'. I don't deny his contribution to mutants. He opened a mutant school and taught children to control their mutant abilities. These are all good things. No one can deny Charles' actions in this regard. But at the same time, isn't Charles using the X-Men?"

Caliban smiled meaningfully and continued.

"Charles is a man as paranoid as Magneto. Although he wants mutants and humans to coexist peacefully, deep down, Charles is also a person who believes in mutant supremacy. He has been using the X-Men to gain a high position in human society. These things are clear to bystanders, and we all see them clearly."

Listening to Caliban's story, Polaris couldn't believe it. Based on her understanding of Charles, this old man should be just a kind and miserable old man.

Caliban also saw what Polaris was thinking, and he explained in a deep voice.

"There was a girl named Raven in the X-Men before. She was also called Mystique. She was a very famous mutant. He had dealt with her several times. You have to know that Raven and Charles grew up together. No one knows Charles better than her.

These things were all told to me by Raven herself, so you should understand that I am definitely not making random statements without any basis. In addition, with what Charles has done over the years, to be honest, many mutants are disappointed in him. In the end, only his X-Men still trust him. It's a pity."

"So, what about Riven?" Polaris asked.

"He died long ago."

Caliban spread his hands.

"Also because of Raven's death, Magneto and Charles broke up completely. How should I put it? Since Magneto's death, Charles has slowly developed Alzheimer's disease. What the Beast meant was that these pains activated Charles' brain's self-protection consciousness, and he began to protect himself by forgetting some bad memories."

"So that's how it is." Polaris nodded thoughtfully.

Caliban changed the subject and spoke again. "But we can't disbelieve everything Charles says. It's true that he is old and confused, but his mutant abilities are still there."

"Do you think what he said is true?" Polaris frowned. "But didn't he mistake me for Magneto before?"

"You do have the same mutant abilities as Magneto, but have you ever thought that there are more than one person who came here from other universes?" Caliban said seriously. "There are hundreds of mutants in Manhattan."

"you mean!"

Polaris opened her mouth slightly. She now knew what Caliban wanted to say.

Caliban also nodded, frowning deeply. "In the current situation, the emergence of so many mutants is not a good thing. Ordinary mutants are fine, but if Magneto really shows up, I'm afraid it will start a world war."

Hearing this, Polaris' heart suddenly began to lift.

World war is no joke.

"Do you suspect that my father, Magneto, has really come to this world, and might even lead mutants from other universes to start a war in this world?"

"It's very likely." Caliban nodded, and then he pointed at himself and said, "Don't forget what my mutant ability is. When Blink took us through New York before, I was almost scared to death."

"Have you sensed Magneto's superpowers?" Polaris certainly knew what Caliban's mutant abilities were. He could clearly sense mutants and their corresponding superpowers within a certain range.

"I'm not sure. There are too many of them, and there are some high-level guys among them. Although none of them have reached the level of Jean Grey's complete form, some of them are as powerful as Charles when he was young." Caliban answered truthfully.

"Then what are we waiting for? Tell Zhang Ye the news right away!" Polaris said anxiously.

"Do you think I didn't do that?" Caliban said this, and shook his head in annoyance. "I have been trying to contact Zhang Ye since yesterday, but I have not been able to get through. For now, let's wait for Twinkle and Logan to come back."

Before he could finish his words, a purple crack suddenly tore open the space of the living room.

The next moment, Flash supported the extremely weak Logan and emerged tremblingly from the other side of the portal.

"Flash!" Seeing this, Polaris immediately stood up. She quickly came to the other side of Logan and helped support him. "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, we just encountered some trouble in the middle, so it delayed us for some time." Flash helped Logan to the sofa and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Troublesome things, what troublesome things?" Polaris asked curiously.

And Shanting didn't keep the secret. She just put her finger on her shoulder, and soon, an ant jumped to her fingertips.

Following the flashing fingers, Polaris and Caliban could even see the ant waving its forelimbs to greet them.

The next moment, a mechanical voice sounded.

(Nice to meet you, I'm Hank Pym!)
