"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Hearing that name, Professor X also showed a puzzled expression.
He was quite familiar with the CIA, having had deep contact during the first battle, and at that time, he even fell in love with a female CIA Agent.
As for S.H.I.E.L.D., he had truly never heard of it.
He tried to activate his ability to read the other party's memory, but found that his telepathic ability had no effect.
"We were previously called the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. Oh, and Professor Charles, don't try to use your abilities to control me.
Since I dared to come and apprehend you, I certainly came prepared!"
Nick Fury extended his hand and tapped his neck, where a circular device emitting a blue light was attached.
It was a brainwave jammer, modified from a device used by the Kree Supreme Intelligence to control Captain Marvel's mind, capable of a certain degree of mental intrusion and protection.
The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis was actually an event caused by the Mutant Black King. He had obtained all these intelligence reports stored in the CIA after he became Director.
Given the terrifying abilities of Magneto and Professor X, he had never dared to act.
But this time, the Mutant attack on the President had touched his bottom line. Coupled with the fact that he had just finished modifying the device to resist Professor X's mind control, he decisively took action.
"I think there's been a misunderstanding between us."
Professor X was unwilling to conflict with a government agency, so he patiently explained what had happened.
Unfortunately, Nick Fury was not easily persuaded.
"No need for so many words. After I take you back, I will find out the real answer. If the assassination of the President has nothing to do with you, and you are willing to sign an agreement at that time, then I can consider letting you go back."
Who the mastermind behind the President's attack was, was not that important to him. Even if it truly was as Professor X said, he couldn't just let him leave so easily.
To humans, Mutants have always been a ticking time bomb. Although he had no intention of exterminating Mutants, their development must be under his surveillance.
So, as long as he controlled the two leaders of the Mutant forces, Magneto and Professor X, then the others would not be a concern.
"Sorry, I cannot entrust the safety of my students to an unknown government agency."
Hearing Nick Fury's forceful reply, Professor X shook his head.
Even if he was naive, he wouldn't be so naive as to believe that government agencies would treat them, Mutants, equally, or that they would truly release them after arresting them and confirming the facts.
He had made this mistake once before, and the result was that all his students were forced into brutal battlefields, either dying in battle or becoming experimental subjects for ambitious individuals.
Because of this, he was dejected for a long time before he came to terms with it and pulled himself together.
So, after the school reopened, he began to train X-Men who could fight, to protect his students from harm.
He believed that all humanity would eventually find the right path and create a better future with Mutants, but this trust did not extend to certain government agencies.
"Then there's no other way. I can only deal with you as I dealt with Mr. Eric!"
As Nick Fury's voice fell, Captain Marvel, Captain Carter, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and three fully armed S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent squads launched an attack.
Previously, due to concerns about being affected by Magneto's abilities, the three S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent squads had been led by Agent Mei, hiding in the distance.
Now that Magneto had been taken down, and they all wore devices that could block mental control, they could naturally cooperate in the attack.
"X-Men, engage!"
Seeing this, Professor X could only reluctantly issue the combat order.
Storm activated her ability, her eyes turning white, and the sky immediately became overcast. Bolts of lightning, under her control, struck the armed S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.
Wolverine and Death Woman, who had regained her consciousness, popped out their Adamantium claws and sharp claws, charging towards Captain Carter, Black Widow, and Mei.
Cyclops's eyes unleashed a full-power red Impact, confronting Captain Marvel, who was enveloped in energy in the air.
Colossus transformed his entire body into steel, standing in front of Cyclops and Storm, helping them block the incoming stray bullets.
And Nightcrawler, a Christian who still lacked combat experience, was responsible for protecting the weakened Professor X and guarding Stryker to prevent him from escaping in the chaos.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a sharp arrow, from a very peculiar and insidious angle, bypassed Colossus's defense and shot towards Storm, who was controlling the field and unleashing lightning.
It was Hawkeye Barton, hiding in a concealed corner. Seeing that Storm's crowd control was too powerful, causing a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents to be stunned by electricity, he launched a sneak attack on her.
"Hold this for me!"
Throwing the Adamantium long staff in his hand to Nightcrawler, Hawking also drew his power pole and made his move.
He understood that the other S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel were not a big problem; the main opponent was Captain Marvel.
Captain Marvel of Universe 838 was not the strong-willed and mentally powerful Carol, but her best friend Maria Rambeau. Her strength might be slightly inferior, but she was absolutely monstrous.
Even Magneto was ultimately defeated by her.
So, he needed to clear the obstacles as quickly as possible, so that everyone could work together to help Cyclops deal with Captain Marvel.
He leaped up, his power pole accurately knocking away Hawkeye's arrow, then his figure flashed, and he swiftly rushed towards Hawkeye's hiding spot.
Hawkeye wasn't powerful, but his arrows were extremely tricky, especially in group combat, they were very effective against types like Storm and Cyclops.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Seeing Hawking, who was just a child, rushing towards him at high speed, Hawkeye didn't dare to be careless. He shot arrows faster and faster towards Hawking, and each arrow had special abilities at its tip, such as electric shock, paralysis, and slime.
"Afterimage Fist!"
However, Hawking didn't want to get entangled. He directly used Afterimage Fist, leaving trails of afterimages, and rushed to Hawkeye's front at the fastest speed.
"Fall down, you."
In the face of absolute speed and strength, Hawkeye, who was caught in close combat, couldn't block a single move and was knocked unconscious by Hawking's staff.
But when he wanted to go help solve the others first, Cyclops on the other side could no longer hold out.
Captain Marvel in the air was actually resisting Cyclops's full-power red Impact and was about to get close to him.
If Captain Marvel got close, Cyclops would likely be instantly defeated.
Storm also noticed this and quickly concentrated all her lightning, attacking Captain Marvel along with Cyclops, which only slowed her down.
But it was only a slowdown; Captain Marvel was still approaching them.
"Kamehameha!"
Seeing this, Hawking quickly moved to the side of the standoff, and a full-power Kamehameha struck Captain Marvel's face.
Because Captain Marvel's strength was concentrated on countering Cyclops and Storm, she was caught off guard and was directly knocked flying.
