Unlike the peace Xu Fu enjoyed, the mutants at the Mutant Academy were not faring well.
The conflict between the Sentinels and the mutants had almost become open warfare.
After obtaining Mystique Raven, the forces behind the Sentinels were emboldened.
Through the study of Mystique's cells, they invented an incredible material that could perfectly mimic mutant abilities.
After upgrading with this material...
The true nightmare for mutants had arrived.
Compared to the first generation of Sentinels, which could initially mimic and utilize mutant abilities, resembling Iron Man suits, the second-generation Sentinels were far more powerful and intelligent.
Their intelligence surpassed that of ordinary people, allowing them to blend into the general populace and detect the X-Gene.
Mutants had virtually no hiding place among them!
If they hadn't faced resistance from many factions, even S.H.I.E.L.D., they might have already launched a cleansing operation against mutants.
Openly, they couldn't act.
Secretly, they were constantly making moves, and many small mutant factions were being purged.
Large numbers of mutants were captured and imprisoned in laboratories.
According to information from the Mutant Academy, they were even beginning to use mutant genes to develop biological weapons!
It was incredibly insane, utterly inhumane!
The Mutant Academy was still able to hold on because it had gathered a large number of powerful mutants.
However, they had also experienced many battles in order to rescue their mutant brethren.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the Mutant Academy was very low.
The laughter and joy of the past were gone.
Many of the students from the Mutant Academy were helping the adults treat the wounded.
Charles walked through the corridor, watching the changes and wishing he could help, his heart filled with indignation and worry.
However, as the leader of the Mutant Academy, he couldn't show these emotions.
He was incredibly worried, but he still wore a smile on his face to stabilize the students' emotions.
It wasn't until he entered the meeting room and saw the X-Men that his expression became serious.
"Erik, how is it going?"
Charles asked.
Magneto had recovered his health after treatment in the Mutant Academy.
And he had turned a crisis into an opportunity, his abilities restored to their original state, and even enhanced.
However, the expression on his face wasn't exactly optimistic.
"The situation is not looking good, there are too many of them."
Magneto's voice was very hoarse as he spoke.
If it was just one, or even a few hundred Sentinels...
For mutants, they wouldn't be impossible enemies to deal with.
The Sentinels were powerful, but not invincible.
The biggest problem was, the number of Sentinels was overwhelming!
One mutant killed is one less, but when the Sentinels are killed, they just make more.
What's more, the Sentinels can reclaim their materials and rebuild!
The mutants are being completely depleted!
They're constantly fighting an army that doesn't die!
In just these past few days, dozens of combat-ready mutants have already been lost!
This is a devastating loss for them!
In the Mutant Academy, only the more powerful mutants are still alive.
Like the original X-Men, and some of Magneto's followers.
There were also newly arrived mutants like Nightcrawler, Blink, and Gambit, all with powerful combat abilities.
The rest were children under the protection of the Mutant Academy.
The original mutant population had been a very powerful group, with many strong individuals within its ranks.
Yet, they had dwindled to such a state.
Sentinels, robots specifically designed to combat mutants, were incredibly powerful!
Charles's heart sank, but he remained firm.
"We must hold on."
"I have already sought support from others."
"Nick Fury has agreed to help us intervene."
"We should be able to find out who is behind this soon."
"As long as we can destroy their factories, we can solve this problem!"
Erik's eyes were also red, filled with hatred.
"It's all that idiot Sebastian's fault!"
"He not only leaked the secret formula for the helmet, but also created traitors!"
"Otherwise, you could have solved the problem!"
Professor X, although unable to do much against the Sentinels, was very strong when dealing with humans with thoughts.
With the help of Cerebro, he could even destroy humanity!
However, the person behind it was also very clever.
Not only did he have the kind of helmet Magneto often wore, but he also had telepaths protecting them.
That's why Professor X couldn't use Cerebro to unleash a devastating finishing blow!
"Since it's happened, there's no point in dwelling on it."
"We should now find their factory as quickly as possible."
"Gather as many people as we can and save our fellow mutants."
Charles said.
He nodded in agreement.
Just then, a voice spoke near them.
"It's bad, there's a large gathering of Sentinels."
"They're going to attack a mutant sanctuary."
Scott walked in with the X-Men, his voice grave.
Professor X and Magneto turned to look. A fierce glint flashed in Magneto's eyes.
Among them, there were mutants who could track large numbers of mutants.
This was also one of the reasons why they were still able to survive.
Now, Sentinels were gathering again. Something big must be happening!
"Where are they headed?"
Magneto asked in a low voice.
"Alkali Lake!"
Scott announced.
Hearing the name, Wolverine's body stiffened.
"Damn it! That kid, Xu Fu, is still there!"
"They wouldn't be going after that kid, would they?"
Magneto and Professor X exchanged a look.
"Most likely."
"Xu Fu is currently the most promising mutant."
"They'll definitely want to capture Xu Fu and use him for their purposes."
Charles said in a low voice.
"We absolutely cannot allow this to happen!"
Magneto said firmly.
Even if Xu Fu had beaten Magneto up.
But on matters of principle, he remained incredibly resolute.
That was the core of Magneto's charisma.
"We have to go rescue him. Xu Fu can't possibly handle that many Sentinels on his own."
"Let's move out."
"I'll handle this personally."
Magneto's voice was raspy as he spoke.
"Then the X-Men certainly won't fall behind."
"Professor, you stay at the Academy this time. We'll go rescue Xu Fu."
Scott, taking on the role of leader, spoke up.
Charles nodded.
Since the academy's highest leader had agreed, there were naturally no further complications.
Magneto, Cyclops, Jean, Wolverine, Gambit, and Sunspot, the six of them formed the strongest team in the Mutant Academy and set off for the rescue mission.
Professor X, along with Storm and the others, stayed behind to protect the Mutant Academy and the children.
Relying on Blink's portal.
Magneto led the team and departed.
