Chapter 3139 "Romantic" Wedding Season (Fifty-nine)
"This is the golden apple that Schiller found that can prolong life without any side effects." Loki placed the plate in front of Professor X.
"No side effects?!" Professor X was also surprised.
In fact, after having been in the universe for such a long time and dealing with so many immortal species, it is not that the two of them have no way to extend their lifespan, but the key is that almost all methods in the universe have side effects.
If you make a deal with the devil, you have to pay a price. If you use potions, you have to maintain them regularly. And if you want to use some strange props, they will basically be cursed or will not last long.
Generally speaking, it's no problem to extend it for a few hundred years, but it's hard to say after that. Professor X has also discussed with Magneto that if the situation of mutants still doesn't improve when they reach the limit of their lifespan, then they can pick the safest one to try.
"Golden Apple?" This is where Magneto's point is. He said, "The golden apple in mythology?"
"Yes, the gods in the mythology of another distant universe do exist, and the golden apple also exists. Schiller obtained the golden apple through some means, and he can get more later. This thing has no side effects. Eating it once will give you almost unlimited life."
Magneto and Professor X looked at each other.
"Of course, it's not that magical. It can only help you avoid death from old age, but it can't prevent you from getting hurt. If you get hurt too much, or if you're killed by someone, it can't be saved."
Professor X understood that the function of the golden apple is actually longevity, not immortality. After eating the golden apple, one can indeed live forever without illness or disaster, and can also be immune to most diseases caused by aging, such as heart failure and cancer. However, if you are stabbed twice and die, you can't blame the golden apple for not protecting you.
This may be a bit dangerous for ordinary people. After all, if you live for a thousand years, you are bound to encounter a few accidents. But for Magneto and Professor X, it is nothing. A car accident a day will not kill them.
Professor X had to admit that he was moved.
"Damn greed!" Professor X cursed in his heart. Of course, he was not cursing Schiller, but himself.
If the mutants had been more motivated, half a century would not have passed and these two would still be leading the mutants. However, they have already led them for half a century. The sunk cost is too high, and they cannot give up easily.
Professor X took a deep breath and said, "Okay, the mutants will do their best to help you complete this plan. I hope you are fully confident."
Loki finally showed a sincere smile and said, "Schiller has actually been preparing for a long time. This is the final key prop because he knows that you will not refuse to relive the old dream."
Professor X didn't have time to understand what Loki's last words meant, as he had already eaten the golden apple.
This piece of golden apple was not the small piece that Schiller gave to Peter. Each of them ate almost one-fifth of the apple, and the next second after eating, bright light burst out from their bodies.
The light faded, and Professor X was still a little dazed, but when he turned around, he saw a younger version of Eric Lansherr.
Professor X suddenly had a bad feeling.
He turned his head and looked through the glass of the office. Very good, a 20-year-old Charles Xavier.
Is this what you call reliving old times?!
He knew that Schiller had no good intentions!
Professor X really didn't expect this. He thought this thing would just maintain the original state but extend lifespan, but he didn't expect it to be a direct rejuvenation.
It’s not that Professor X has any problem with his younger self. The point is that his face when he was young has no deterrent power at all. How can he lead the X-Men and those little bastards at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters in the future?
"If nothing unexpected happens, your legs should have recovered as well." Loki reminded him, "The golden apple will restore all organs in the human body to their best condition. Do you want to stand up and walk a few steps?"
Professor X stood up in a rage, and Loki was a little surprised, because a person who hadn't walked for many years would feel a little awkward walking even if his legs were healed, but Professor X walked very fast.
Magneto sneered. He couldn’t pretend anymore, right?
Professor X could only sigh in his heart. He knew that Schiller was giving him an excuse to stand up openly. The key point was that if he didn't stand up, besides wanting the young mutants to understand that he was a disabled person and not to act foolishly, wasn't it also to make Magneto feel guilty?
Now, they can continue their unfinished quarrel from decades ago. The person back then is the same person in front of them, and decades have passed, but the person in front of them is still the same person back then.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Magneto doesn't care about his own image. No matter how his appearance changes, the past cannot be changed.
Several people sat down in front of the office window.
"Apocalypse has colluded with the New Skrull Empire. The Skrulls plan to use Apocalypse to disrupt the internal situation of the mutants. But how can this be linked to the Shi'ar Empire and how can conflicts between the two sides be provoked?" asked Magneto.
"That brings us to the mysterious life fusion plan." Thanos said. Professor X couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It seemed that this top-secret plan was not so top-secret after all.
"The Life Fusion Project is a relic of the old Skrull Empire, so the New Skrull Empire should inherit it. But now it has fallen into the hands of the nobles of the Shi'ar Empire. Do you think the Skrulls will let it go?"
"If they wanted it, why would they ..." Professor X stopped talking in the middle of his sentence. What else could it be? There would always be a period of turbulence between the transition from the old regime to the new one, and at that time, the trapped beasts driven mad would dare to sell anything.
"Apocalypse wants us to get the experimental product." Professor X said: "I guess this is the condition he promised the Skrulls. He helped the New Skrull Empire get the product of the Life Fusion Project. The New Skrull Empire funded him and made him another mutant force."
"Sounds like a double win for the Skrulls," Loki said.
"Apocalypse has no choice." Magneto snorted coldly and said, "He is too weak and cannot be compared with the three great empires. He should be grateful if others are willing to choose him as a puppet."
"Apocalypse knew he was powerless to face the Shi'ar Empire, so he came to the Andromeda Galaxy to poison us, and wanted to use the antidote to threaten us to help him do it." Professor X said, "But his plan has failed, because the Supreme Evolutionary who came out of nowhere released antibodies to the Andromeda Galaxy, and his poison is no longer effective."
"Why would the Supreme Evolutionary do this?" asked Magneto.
"No one present knows." Loki said, "I have vaguely heard of the name of the Supreme Evolutionary, but I have not heard of any deeds he has done. Perhaps we should ask him in person."
"There is an otter who claims that she is the only one who knows where the Supreme Evolution is." Professor X spoke again: "She asked us to solve the Life Fusion Project."
"Solve? How to solve it? Destroy the experimental products?" Loki asked.
"I'm afraid it can't be destroyed." Professor X said, "That's not a prop, it's a person, and Schiller has been eyeing it for a long time."
"Isn't it easy to pry open an otter's mouth?" Magneto said gloomily, "Especially a mechanical otter."
"Don't be like this." Professor X shook his head and said, "She is Rocket's old lover. We don't need to resort to violence. I believe she doesn't have to kill a living person. We just need to make sure that this plan can no longer be implemented. I will go talk to her."
Professor X accessed Leila's brain waves and told her the truth about the life fusion plan, which is to say that this thing is not really intended to fuse all life in the universe, and Reynolds' birth was also an accident.
Leila seemed to have put forward some conditions, but anyway, they reached an agreement.
As expected, the location information of the dimension where the Supreme Evolution is located is not in Leila's mind, but on the spaceship she came from, which is inside a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Magneto went there and moved the spaceship back. Lyra took the disk out of it, and Doctor Beast found a coordinate in the disk.
"Can we just open the portal here?" Professor X asked.
"Yes, here is the key." Lyra handed over a small crystal card she had taken out of the spaceship and said, "Just cast a spell on it, but you'd better send someone stronger, this guy may not listen to reason with you."
Professor X felt a headache looking at the people around him. Now Mister Sinister and Apocalypse were wandering around the Andromeda Galaxy, and there was a brain wave shielding device. Magneto had to stay to protect him, otherwise the two of them would definitely take advantage of the situation.
But Professor X was worried about letting those young mutants go. He thought about contacting superheroes, but he was also afraid that it would affect their battle and cause the mutants to take the blame.
Magneto glanced at Loki and said, "You said Schiller held up the superhero. Why did he hold up the superhero?"
"In order to prevent them from coming to help you." Loki said in a light tone: "Mutants need to complete this task by themselves. You have to complete something by yourself."
Professor X was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Who should be blamed for the fact that the younger generation of mutants has made no progress over the years?
It would be unfair to put all the blame on education, but the existence of Professor X and Magneto, and even the existence of the Avengers, Kamar-Taj, Asgard and other forces, are the important reasons why they have been confined to a corner and stagnant for so many years.
Asgard will solve any problem in the universe, and the Avengers will solve any problem on Earth. Even in the Andromeda Galaxy, these two old guys can still take the lead and use summoning magic when something happens. It would be a miracle if there is any progress.
Professor X couldn't bear to do it, but Schiller was cruel enough. Not only did he trap most of the Avengers members on his farm, he is now dueling with Hydra in his dreams. He also found a way to trap Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme representing Kamar-Taj, in the hospital, and he has already undergone more than 20 operations.
There is no need to even think about Asgard. Loki is already here, so he has no choice but to help Thor. The forces of the remaining nine kingdoms will definitely not get involved in such matters.
Schiller's move was ruthless enough to cut off the source of the problem. Professor X thought, even if the Supreme Evolutionary would not kill people directly, these young mutants who had always been lawless would not negotiate at all. If they went up to him and showed that their noses were not noses and their eyes were not eyes, wouldn't they have to be taught a lesson?
It seemed that Magneto had long been dissatisfied with Professor X's over-protection of the younger generation, and he made the decision to let Polaris, Iceman and the Prophet who had come out of the large group go together.
Professor X gave Magneto a rather dissatisfied look, as if to say, that's your daughter, are you willing to give her up?
Magneto should have been immune to such looks, but he was now facing the face of a young Charles. While he was stunned, Professor X said, "Didn't Charles and Eric from other universes stay here? Let them go together."
