Let… let go of me!" Deathstrike Yuriko shrieked at Huang Wen, but just like Logan being held immobile in the air by Magneto, even though Huang Wen had retracted his Indestructible Divine Art, with the blessing of the Regenerative Dragon Seal, Huang Wen's ability to control objects with his special powers could still absolutely suppress Deathstrike Yuriko.
"Hmm, Uncle Wolf was right, I really should have waited a bit longer to take you down," Huang Wen said with a smile, nodding. He waved his hand, and Deathstrike Yuriko once again crashed into the wall she had just come from.
"This is actually a bit troublesome. Such good material, I can't just leave it here," Huang Wen muttered to himself, turning to look at the liquid adamantium. "It would be great if I had some storage equipment. My system space can only hold items drawn from the system, which is quite restrictive…",
"Moreover, if this adamantium cools down, it won't be easy to use again. It needs to be kept in a liquid state, which means it needs to be maintained at such a high temperature."
A ball of flame instantly rose from Huang Wen's right hand, which then transformed into fire-attribute internal energy and was injected into the container of liquid adamantium.
The next moment, Huang Wen and the container of liquid adamantium turned into specks of light, disappearing from their original spot and reappearing in his own room at the Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy.
"Hmm, I remember the space under the bed is empty. It's perfect for putting it there," Huang Wen thought. He didn't directly move the mattress but instead used his object displacement ability, an advanced version of the card-changing ability once used by the God of Gamblers, Ah Sing. The liquid adamantium and its container were directly swapped to under the bed.
"Alright, next is Deathstrike. After I leave, Deathstrike can help me protect Chinatown and Uncle Zhong," Huang Wen nodded in satisfaction. His figure turned into specks of light and disappeared from his original spot, returning to the Alkali Lake facility once again.
"You…" Deathstrike Yuriko had just struggled down from the wall when she saw Huang Wen suddenly return. Her pupils constricted, and she extended her sharp claws, looking at Huang Wen warily.
"Relax." Huang Wen showed a kind smile and looked into Deathstrike Yuriko's eyes, performing hypnotic illusion. Soon, Deathstrike Yuriko's eyes became somewhat hazy, followed by emptiness.
Huang Wen didn't hypnotize her too much. He first lifted William Stryker's control over Deathstrike Yuriko, then restored Deathstrike Yuriko's original memories, and finally added a clause: Deathstrike Yuriko's absolute loyalty to him.
While Huang Wen was hypnotizing Deathstrike Yuriko, Logan had already caught up with William Stryker, who was preparing to escape by helicopter. His adamantium claws directly pierced William Stryker's stomach, forcefully pinning him to the aircraft.
"Speak! Who exactly am I?! What did I experience before?! Did you turn me into this?!" Logan roared furiously at William Stryker.
"You were always a beast, so how could I have turned you into this?" William Stryker seemed to know he was doomed and showed no intention of struggling. He even continued to lead Logan deeper into the abyss, "This is your true nature. Unleash it completely, don't suppress it…"
"Pfft!" Logan's adamantium claws directly pierced through William Stryker's body, splitting him in two along his chest.
"As you wish!" Logan coldly glanced at the lifeless William Stryker, then turned and left. At this moment, there was some confusion in Logan's eyes. He decided to get the truth from Huang Wen.
"Ugh!" Just then, a searing pain in his soul made Logan's body stiffen, and he clutched his head in agony. Moreover, it wasn't just Logan; throughout Alkali Lake, all mutants except Magneto, who was wearing his helmet, began clutching their heads in pain.
The reason for this was that Charles had put on the Cerebro, preparing to eliminate every mutant in the world.
"Good thing I was a step ahead, otherwise, the hypnosis would probably have been interrupted," Huang Wen muttered to himself, looking at Deathstrike Yuriko kneeling on the ground, clutching her head. He then issued a command, "Wait for me here. Don't run off. I'll be back for you shortly!"
"Yes! Boss!" Deathstrike Yuriko endured the pain and managed to utter a few words, while Huang Wen's figure flickered, moving with the Footwork of Snow Without Trace, transforming into an afterimage and disappearing from his original spot. Next, it was time for Magneto's scheme to unfold!
"Boom!" Outside Cerebro, Magneto, wearing his helmet, forcefully stopped Cerebro using his ability to control metal.
Magneto wore a triumphant smile on his lips as he opened the control room door. He looked at Jason Stryker, who was looking at him with some reluctance, trying to control him. Magneto tapped his helmet, indicating that with the helmet, he was immune to psychic abilities.
Mystique, who was following Magneto, transformed into William Stryker and walked over to Jason Stryker, about to speak.
With a "snap!", Mystique suddenly became immobile.
"Hmm? It's you?!" Magneto's expression changed. He turned to look at the suddenly appearing Huang Wen, his face slightly cold. "What? Do you intend to interfere in our mutant affairs?"
"Old Wan, you can't possibly truly believe that your little schemes are known only to the two of you, can you?" Huang Wen shook his head with a faint smile. "What? You don't consider me human? Isn't your plan to have Charles eliminate all humans in one fell swoop this time?"
"You!" Magneto's pupils suddenly constricted, looking at Huang Wen with surprise and doubt. He didn't understand where he had exposed himself.
"Hmm?" Huang Wen was about to continue speaking when he suddenly felt something was amiss with his divine power. He suspiciously surveyed his surroundings and immediately frowned deeply.
"Hmm?" Magneto's gaze also sharpened. Jason Stryker's face changed dramatically, and a glimmer of clarity flashed in Charles's eyes as he regained consciousness.
"Please forgive my rudeness, Master," Charles instantly knew what had happened. He offered an apologetic smile and said softly.
"Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't interfere with such matters, as they pertain to internal planetary affairs and are not extraterrestrial or interdimensional disasters," a bald man wearing a yellow robe and a pendant on his chest appeared, once again increasing the number of bald heads present.
"However, I saw a 10% chance that Erik would succeed, and 99% of all humans would die under your psychic destruction, including most of our members at Kamar-Taj."
"At that point, Kamar-Taj's protective power would be weakened to an extreme, and other dimensions would seize this opportunity to attack. Ultimately, the entire planet would lose its vitality because of this incident…"
"Therefore, I have come."
