Chapter 58: A Way to Seal the Void! Sentinel Joins the Illuminati!
After all, Jiang Bai had just said not to act rashly, so how could they talk without a visit? Jiang Bai innocently told Tony that he had Professor X's Mind Reading, which greatly shocked Tony. Professor X's Mind Reading was truly terrifying!
Ignoring Tony's shock, he directly used his psychic abilities to contact Sentinel.
"Hello, Robert Reynolds, my name is Jiang Bai, perhaps you've heard of me."
"Jiang Bai? Psychic abilities? What do you want from me?"
"Interested in coming out for a chat? I know a way to seal or resolve the Void. I'm under a few farms in the suburbs of New York. With your ability, you should be able to find me!"
"Alright!"
On the other side, Sentinel was very surprised to hear Jiang Bai's voice in his mind, but it was only surprise. He didn't think the other party could invade his mind and soul! Indeed, Jiang Bai's current ability truly couldn't invade Sentinel's mind and soul; even Professor X couldn't do it.
Then, he invited the other party to talk, even throwing out a way to seal or resolve the Void. He believed Sentinel would definitely show up! He withdrew his psychic ability and directly opened the door to the Illuminati Base, waiting for Sentinel's arrival. Tony was a bit nervous.
He didn't know what Jiang Bai's words just now meant, so this conversation with Sentinel probably had nothing to do with him. If Jiang Bai was capable enough, perhaps Sentinel could really join the Illuminati! Soon, a Shadow instantly appeared in front of Jiang Bai and Tony.
"I'm here. Tell me, how can I seal or resolve the Void!"
"Wait for me a moment, Tom, Jerry, come here!"
After Sentinel appeared in front of Jiang Bai and Tony, both felt an extremely terrifying pressure. Facing Sentinel's question, Jiang Bai took out a phone and made a call. On the other end were Tom and Jerry, who were watching TV. Hearing Jiang Bai's words, neither of them needed to know the location; they just popped out of the phone!
"My God? What is this? A cat and a mouse, coming out of a phone. Oh my God, I must be seeing things!"
"Alright, Tony, don't make a fuss!"
Tony looked at Tom on the table and Jerry on Jiang Bai's shoulder with disbelief. Sentinel stared intently at Tom and Jerry for a few seconds, then said nothing more, just sat down in one of the seats and waited for Jiang Bai to speak, interrupting Tony's words before looking at Sentinel.
"Before that, I'm curious if you've joined S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"No, I don't like official organizations."
"OK, the Void and you are one. Unless there's an exceptionally powerful existence that can erase the Void, such an existence can't be found for now! As for sealing it, the wielder of the Phoenix Force fragments should be able to do it. The Mind Stone and Soul Stone together should also be able to temporarily seal the Void."
"The wielder of the Phoenix Force fragments is Jean Grey of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Her situation is currently unstable, and she cannot yet use the Phoenix Force! The Mind Stone and Soul Stone are in the Universe and will come to Earth in the near future. Jean will also be able to control the Phoenix Force soon!"
"So, on behalf of the Illuminati, I invite you to join. Tony and I established this organization to protect Earth and humanity. You should also know about the monsters from before. I can tell you, their numbers are vast, and Earth will face many more crises! If you join us, at least you can ensure that if you lose control, someone will know how to awaken your consciousness, right?"
Before telling Sentinel the method, Jiang Bai first asked if he had joined S.H.I.E.L.D. After learning that he hadn't, he began to tell Sentinel what he knew. Wanting to resolve the Void was a bit unrealistic; he also couldn't find such a powerful existence to help Sentinel resolve the Void.
As for sealing it, there were two methods. The Phoenix Force symbolizes mind and life, so sealing the Void should be no problem. The Mind Stone and Soul Stone are similar to rules within the Universe, so they should also be able to temporarily seal the Void.
However, neither of these two methods could be implemented for the time being. Sentinel fell into contemplation after listening and said nothing. Jiang Bai directly extended an invitation to Sentinel, stating that if Sentinel lost control, at least someone would know how to awaken his consciousness.
Although Jiang Bai initially wanted to say 'resolve,' it was a bit impractical. Awakening Sentinel's own consciousness was still achievable. At worst, weren't Tom and Jerry still around? At that time, they could create something to awaken Sentinel.
Jiang Bai believed that Sentinel couldn't kill Tom and Jerry, but Tom and Jerry also couldn't do anything to Sentinel; his strength was too terrifying! In the future, Tom and Jerry should be able to, as they still needed to grow or integrate into this World. At that time, Tom and Jerry could completely contend with Sentinel.
Sentinel did not immediately accept Jiang Bai's invitation. After much hesitation, he slowly spoke:
"Yes, under normal circumstances, I won't intervene. I need to fight the Void!"
"Of course, under normal circumstances, we won't disturb you. Once the host of the Phoenix Force fully awakens, I will have her help you seal the Void!"
"Alright!"
Ultimately, Sentinel agreed to join the Illuminati. In other timelines, Sentinel had formed organizations with Iron Man, Professor X, Mister Fantastic, and others! After Sentinel agreed, he stated that he would not intervene under normal circumstances, which Jiang Bai and Tony both agreed to.
After Sentinel left, Tony was excited. He didn't expect Sentinel to actually join the Illuminati! Jiang Bai wasn't particularly excited; in the future, he would be even stronger than Sentinel!
However, Sentinel was secretly vigilant after leaving. Many people coveted his power. Since defeating the monster last time, many people had been looking for him. As for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance, how could he not know? He just didn't care.
As for joining the Illuminati, he didn't feel much about it. Ultimately, it was also about protecting Earth and humanity, but that person knew far more than S.H.I.E.L.D.! Moreover, it wasn't an official organization, so he wasn't that resistant!
Director Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. had also invited him, using nothing more than morals and righteousness. With the power of a million stars, his mind was not much inferior to Nick Fury's. He saw through the other party's intentions at a glance, and he was already very averse to official organizations.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to join. Although Nick Fury was helpless about this, he had no choice but to send Agents disguised as residents to monitor him, unaware that all his actions were within Sentinel's sight. If Sentinel hadn't been so forgiving, Nick Fury's head would probably have already been moved.
