Chapter 101
Lin Tian once again let out a triumphant and controlled laugh!
Excellent!
The two most important queens of the X-Men Universe, a double kill! Completely taken down!
The harvest from this transit group, 37, was even more perfect than anticipated, 1729119!
So, what's next?
Should he consider 'visiting' that equally sexy and charming Master of Transformation?
In Lin Tian's heart, a new 'hunting' plan began to brew... The news of Lin Tian 'embracing both sides' within the X-Academy, simultaneously seducing Jean Grey and Storm Ororo, naturally couldn't be completely hidden from all those with discerning eyes.
Especially from the Brotherhood of Mutants' leader, Magneto, Erik Lehnsherr, who had always coveted the X-Academy and possessed powerful sensory abilities.
Although Lin Tian's actions within the X-Academy were kept as 'low-key' as possible, and Professor X deliberately 'concealed' and'suppressed' them.
However, Lin Tian's vast and boundless energy aura, like a star, and the extremely subtle but undeniable energy resonance and law fluctuations that occurred during his 'deep exchanges' with Jean and Ororo, which couldn't be hidden from those of the same power level...
Were keenly detected by Magneto, who was far away at the Brotherhood Base!
"It seems an extraordinary individual has recently arrived at Professor Charles's old school." Magneto sat on a throne twisted from metal, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, his eyes glinting with a cold metallic luster and a hint of solemnity.
He could clearly feel an extremely powerful, yet unusually unfamiliar, energy field enveloping the X-Academy! This energy field even subtly suppressed his perception and control over Earth's magnetic field?!
Such a peculiar fluctuation left them all bewildered.
It was truly shocking.
It was simply not a situation they could touch or meddle with.
Moreover, he also sensed that the energy fluctuations within Jean Grey and Ororo Munroe, two powerful Mutants he had always 'favored' and even tried to recruit, had undergone extremely drastic changes recently! They had become even stronger! But also more... filled with a certain 'alien' energy aura that made him uncomfortable?!
Was it that mysterious Eastern man?!
Magneto immediately thought of Lin Tian, who had suddenly appeared at the X-Academy not long ago, whose strength was unfathomable, and who seemed to have a'special interest' in female Mutants!
It must be his doing!!!
He not only occupied the X-Academy! He was even laying claim to Jean and Ororo, two future pillars with limitless potential?!
A strong surge of anger and apprehension instantly welled up in Magneto's heart!
He could not tolerate it!
He could not tolerate such a guy of unknown origin acting so brazenly on his 'turf'!
And even less could he tolerate the powerful Mutantabilities of Jean and Ororo falling into the hands of an outsider, not of their kind! And possibly being controlled and exploited by him!
No! I must stop him! Son.
100 Mystique Raven's seduction, you're still too young, submit to me!
Magneto suddenly stood up from his throne! A powerful magnetic field instantly erupted! Causing the entire metal room to groan under the strain!
He was preparing to personally go to the X-Academy! To meet that mysterious Eastern man!
Even if the opponent was powerful! He would make him understand! Mutant affairs! Are not for outsiders to meddle with!!!
However...
Just as Magneto was about to depart.
A voice, full of allure, yet with a hint of laziness and playfulness, sounded behind him:
"Erik, such a temper? Which clueless fellow has provoked you again?"
Magneto turned around and saw the person, and the violent rage in his eyes subsided slightly.
The newcomer was none other than his most trusted subordinate, and his former 'lover' (their relationship was complicated) — Mystique, Raven Darkholme.
At this moment, Raven was not maintaining her signature blue-skinned form, but had transformed into a sexy woman with a hot figure, wearing a black tight leather suit, and short blonde hair. She leaned against the doorframe, a faint smile playing on her lips, watching the furious Magnetowith interest.
"Raven," Magneto frowned when he saw her, "Why are you here?"
"Of course, I sensed someone's 'jealousy' was about to spill over, so I specially came to see." Raven walked with an elegant cat-like stride to Magneto's side, extended a slender finger, and gently stroked his chest, which was taut with anger, saying ambiguously, "Only Charles and his precious students could make you, Erik Lehnsherr, lose your composure like this, couldn't they?"
"Hmph!" Magneto snorted, pushing her hand away, "Don't joke with me! Something big has happened!"
He briefly told Raven about the situation he had sensed, as well as his suspicions and worries about Lin Tian.
Raven's smile gradually faded after hearing this, replaced by a look of solemnity.
"Are you serious?!" She couldn't quite believe it, "Is that '887' Eastern man named Lin Tian really that strong?! Even Charles is no match for him?! And he can even influence the powers of Jean and Ororo?!"
Although she had previously, under Magneto's orders, infiltrated the X-Academy to test Lin Tian, that time she had only observed from afar and was startled away by Lin Tian's substantial mental power. She hadn't truly engaged in combat and couldn't accurately judge his strength.
Now, hearing Magneto's account, she realized that man was far more terrifying than she had imagined!!!
"I never doubt my senses." Magneto said in a deep voice, "That Lin Tian is definitely an unprecedented huge threat! Not only to Charles, but to our Brotherhood, and even to the future of all Mutants, he could bring devastating consequences!"
"We must act immediately! Stop him! Even eliminate him!"
"Eliminate him?" Raven's eyes flashed with an unusual glint at his words, and a playful curve appeared on her lips, "Erik, aren't you being too impulsive?"
"Impulsive?!" Magneto roared, "Are we to stand by and watch him turn Jean and Ororo into his playthings?! Watch him claim the power of all Mutants for himself?!"
"Of course not." Raven shook her head, walked in front of Magneto, extended her arms, and gently wrapped them around his neck, whispering in his ear with her seductive voice:
"But a head-on confrontation is clearly not a wise choice. You and I both know that even combined, we might not be a match for that man."
"Then what do you suggest we do?!" Magneto asked, somewhat irritated.
"Perhaps we could try a different approach?" Raven's eyes sparkled with cunning, "Since that man is so interested in powerful female Mutants..."
"Then why don't we cater to his preferences?"
"For example," she breathed out like an orchid, her voice full of temptation, "send me to him?"
"What did you say?!" Magneto's whole body trembled at these words! He violently pushed Raven away! Staring at her in disbelief! "Raven! Are you crazy?! Do you know what you're saying?! He's a demon! He'll turn you into—"
"I know." Raven interrupted him, a confident and dangerous smile on her face, "But don't forget, Erik, I am Mystique."
"I can become anyone he likes. I can lurk by his side, gain his trust, and find his weaknesses."
"Even," a cold glint flashed in her eyes, "deliver a fatal blow when he's least guarded!"
"This is too dangerous! Raven! I don't agree!" Magnetorefused without hesitation!
Although his relationship with Raven was no longer what it once was, and was even filled with exploitation and suspicion.
Deep down, he still regarded Raven as one of the most important people in his life! He absolutely could not let her take such a life-threatening risk!
"Erik," Raven looked at the fleeting concern and reluctance in Magneto's eyes, her heart warmed slightly, but the expression on her face became even more determined, "This is the only feasible solution right now!"
"For the Brotherhood! For the future of Mutants! I must go!"
"Moreover," Raven licked her lips, a hint of indescribable excitement and curiosity flashing in her eyes, "to be honest, I'm quite interested in that man who even makes you wary."
"I'd like to see what abilities he possesses that could make even me, Mystique, willingly submit?"
Looking at the undeniable resolve and eager glint in Raven's eyes...
Magneto knew he could no longer dissuade her.
He was silent for a long time, then finally nodded with difficulty:
"Alright. But you must be careful! Retreat immediately if you sense anything wrong! Your safety is more important than anything!"
"Don't worry, Erik." Raven stood on tiptoe and lightly kissed Magneto's cheek, her smile full of confidence and a hint of determination, "I am Mystique, after all."
Having said that, she no longer hesitated, turned, and her figure, as if merging into the shadows, quietly left the Brotherhood Base.
Leaving Magneto alone, standing in place, looking in the direction Raven had left, his eyes filled with worry, unwillingness, and an indescribable complex emotion.
Raven...
I hope you truly succeed...
Otherwise...
A cold killing intent flashed in Magneto's eyes!
Even if it meant sacrificing the entire Brotherhood! Sacrificing his own life!
He would make that man who dared to harm Raven!
Pay the most agonizing price!!!
Raven Darkholme, Mystique, known for her cunning, changeability, and deadly charm, immediately began her operation after deciding to personally go undercover by Lin Tian's side.
She did not go directly to the X-Academy.
She knew that with Lin Tian's unfathomable strength and sensory abilities, any deliberate approach would likely be seen through by him.
She needed a more natural, more subtle entry point.
An opportunity that would make him interested in her, but wouldn't immediately arouse his suspicion.
So, Raven used her global intelligence network (the Brotherhood's intelligence capabilities were also not to be underestimated) to collect every piece of information, no matter how small, related to Lin Tian.
She quickly discovered some interesting 'coincidences'.
For example, Lin Tian seemed very interested in various'special' energy systems? Whether it was the X-Gene of Mutants, or the mysterious magic of that red-haired girl (Wanda)?
For example, Lin Tian seemed to enjoy'saving' beautiful women who were in distress or struggling internally? (Jean Grey and Storm Ororo both seemed to fit this description?)
And for example, Lin Tian seemed to particularly 'favor' women with 'unique' abilities and'special' identities? (Like that Black Spider-Gwen? Like his newly acquired Dr.Caitlin, the Ice Frost Woman?)
Combining this information, Raven gradually formed a bold and adventurous plan in her mind.
She would use her unique shapeshifting abilities, and her deep insight into human nature and desires, to tailor a 'perfect prey' for Lin Tian that he couldn't refuse!
A 'brand new identity' that possessed powerful special abilities, was coincidentally in distress, and was full of mysterious allure!
A few days later.
New York City, in a certain underground bar in Lower Manhattan, filled with artistic flair and a decadent atmosphere.
Lin Tian sat alone at the bar, sipping a glass of whiskey.
Today, he rarely brought any 'female companions', just wanting to clear his head alone and observe the 'mortal' life of this World. (Of course, Wanda and Gwen had quite a few complaints about this, but Lin Tian's 'extra training tonight' look scared them into not asking any more questions.)
The bar lights were dim, the music was hazy, and the air was filled with a mixture of alcohol, cigarettes, and hormones.
All sorts of people indulged, drank, and sought excitement and solace here.
Lin Tian observed all of this with great interest, feeling as if he was watching a bizarre human drama.
Just then.
A figure, like an elf in the dark night, quietly appeared at the other end of the bar.
It was a woman.
A woman so breathtakingly beautiful, yet full of mystery and danger.
She had long blue hair, as deep as the night sky, casually draped over her shoulders. Her skin was so fair it was almost translucent, as if one could see the faint blue veins beneath. Her features were as exquisite as a sculpture, especially her golden, vertically slit pupils, like those of a reptile! They emitted an inhuman, cold yet alluring glow!
She wore an extremely tight black leather outfit that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous, powerful, and wild figure! Behind her even trailed a flexible tail, also black and covered in fine scales?!
Her appearance instantly drew the gaze of everyone in the bar!
Both men and women! They were all deeply attracted by her otherworldly, exotic beauty and dangerous aura! Yet they dared not approach easily! As if she were a poisonous flower blooming on the edge of an abyss!
The moment Lin Tian saw this woman, a hint of surprise and intense interest flashed in his eyes!
Interesting!
The energy fluctuations on this woman were very peculiar!
They had the characteristics of a Mutant's X-Gene! Yet they also seemed to be mixed with some older, darker power, closer to 'demon' or 'alien'?!
And her appearance...
Was it a special Mutant form? Or was it...
Lin Tian's powerful spiritual sense swept over instantly!
Then the smile on his lips deepened.
So that's how it is...
Chapter 102
It's her.
Mystique, Raven Darkholme.
It seems Magneto's capable assistant can't hold back anymore and is finally making her move personally?
And she even specifically transformed into this appearance, full of "exotic charm" and "inhuman allure"?
Is she trying to attract my attention this way? Then to probe or seduce?
Heh heh.
Interesting.
Lin Tian raised his wine glass and gestured to the "blue-haired enchantress" at the other end of the bar.
Raven (in disguise) saw that Lin Tian didn't seem to be intimidated by her "special" appearance; instead, he even initiated a friendly gesture? She was slightly surprised, but more than that, she felt confident!
Very good! The first step was successful!
She also raised the wine glass in front of her, smiled charmingly at Lin Tian, and then elegantly took a sip.
Her golden vertical pupils were filled with undisguised temptation and provocation.
Lin Tian smiled, put down his wine glass, stood up, and slowly walked towards Raven.
The eyes of everyone else in the bar followed his figure closely, filled with curiosity, jealousy, and a hint of inexplicable tension.
Lin Tian walked to Raven's side and naturally sat in the empty seat next to her. A unique aura, full of masculine charm, instantly enveloped Raven.
"Beautiful lady, drinking alone?" Lin Tian asked knowingly, a charming smile on his face, "Do you mind if I buy you a drink?"
Raven looked at the handsome face so close to her, a face that made even her heart skip a beat, especially those deep eyes that seemed to see through everything—
Her heartbeat, unexpectedly, accelerated uncontrollably?!
Strange.
She was clearly here on a mission! She was here to seduce and test him!
How did it feel like she was being attracted to him instead?!
Raven suppressed the unusual feeling in her heart, a more enchanting and alluring smile appeared on her face, and her voice became magnetic:
"Of course not. It's my honor to be treated by a handsome gentleman like you, Mr. Lin."
She deliberately leaned her body closer to Lin Tian, her full bosom almost touching Lin Tian's arm! She even used her flexible black tail to lightly, almost imperceptibly, brush against Lin Tian's thigh?!
Blatant seduction!
Lin Tian chuckled inwardly.
It seems this Mystique is very confident in herself.
However—
Playing these games in front of me?
You're still too green.
Lin Tian's expression remained calm, and he even cooperatively showed a look of being "impressed"?
"May I know the name of this beautiful lady?" Lin Tianasked.
"You can call me—" Raven's eyes darted, and she casually fabricated an exotic name, "Mystra."
"Mystra?" Lin Tian repeated playfully, "What a beautiful name. Full of mystery and allure, just like yourself."
He reached out his hand, not to touch Raven's body, but gently, with his finger, he hooked a strand of her blue hair that fell over her chest.
"I can feel—" Lin Tian's voice became low and magnetic, carrying a seductive power, "that within your body, a very powerful yet somewhat unstable force seems to be hidden?"
"You seem to be troubled by how to control it?"
1.8!!!
When Raven heard this, her heart instantly surged with tumultuous waves!!!
He, he, how did he know?!
He could actually see through the essence of the power within my body?! He even knew my "troubles"?!
Does he really possess mind-reading abilities?! Or some even more terrifying perception ability?!
At this moment! Raven truly realized! Magneto's previous assessment of Lin Tian was by no means an exaggeration!!!
This man! He is far more unfathomable than she imagined!!!
All her carefully designed plans of seduction and probing seemed to have become laughable displays of showing off in front of this man?!
A strong sense of frustration and an indescribable fear instantly welled up in Raven's heart!
But she was, after all, the battle-hardened Mystique! Her psychological fortitude was extremely strong!
She immediately forced herself to calm down! Her face still maintained a charming smile, and she even deliberately puffed out her chest, looking at Lin Tian with an even more seductive gaze:
"Oh? Mr. Lin certainly has keen insight. My power has indeed brought me a little trouble."
"I wonder if a powerful and mysterious being like Mr. Lin—" She extended her tongue and lightly licked her lips, her movement full of extreme temptation, "has any good'solutions'?"
She was trying to seduce Lin Tian in return! To seize the initiative!
However—
Lin Tian merely smiled, looking at her feigned posture.
His smile was filled with understanding that saw through everything, and a hint of... pity?
He withdrew the finger that had been toying with Raven's hair, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and took a small sip.
Then, in a very calm yet undeniably authoritative tone, he slowly spoke:
"A solution?"
"Of course."
"That is—"
Lin Tian's gaze, like two sharp swords, instantly pierced through all of Raven's disguises! Looking directly into the depths of her soul!
"Submit to me."
101 Phantom Clash, Reverse Strategy! Enchantress's Heart, New Chess Piece!
"Submit to me."
Lin Tian's four calm yet supremely authoritative words exploded in Raven Darkholme's ears like thunder! Instantly shattering all her disguises and carefully planned seductions!
Her exotic golden vertical pupils sharply contracted! The charming and alluring smile on her face instantly froze! Replaced by unbelievable shock and a hint of fear from the depths of her soul!
He, he actually knew?!
He not only saw through my disguise! He even clearly understood the little unknown thoughts deep in my heart (using seduction to get close to him, find weaknesses, or even counter-kill)?!
This, this, how is this possible?!
Can he really read my thoughts?!
No! Impossible! My mental defenses have undergone special training! Even Charles might not be able to easily break through them!
Then how did he know?!
Raven felt her mind in chaos! In front of this man, who was like a demon god, seemingly omniscient! For the first time, she felt like a plaything stripped naked and exposed before him!
All her schemes! All her disguises! Seemed so ridiculous! So pale and powerless!
A strong sense of frustration and fear! Like a cold tide, it engulfed her!
She even had an impulse to immediately transform and escape!
However—
Lin Tian seemed to have anticipated her reaction.
He no longer used words to pressure her, nor did he release that terrifying mental coercion.
He just sat there quietly, a playful smile on his lips, watching her with those deep eyes that seemed capable of swallowing everything, with great interest.
That gaze was like appreciating an interesting work of art, and also like observing a trapped prey struggling in vain.
It was full of confidence in controlling everything and a hint of... mockery?
This gaze made Raven feel even more humiliated and angry than any verbal insult!
She was Mystique! The second-in-command of the Brotherhood! A deadly phantom that made countless men tremble with fear!
When did it become someone else's turn to look at her with such eyes?!
A strong sense of unwillingness and competitiveness! Instantly overcame the fear in her heart!
A cunning glint flashed in Raven's eyes!
If the hard approach doesn't work, then try the soft one!
She refused to believe! With her charm and tactics, she couldn't take down this man who seemed powerful but might actually just be a "lustful pervert"?!
Thinking this, Raven's panic-stricken expression instantly vanished!
In its place was an even more enchanting! More alluring! And even more dangerously seductive smile!
Far from retreating, she became even bolder! Pressing her fiery, soft body tightly against him!
Her warm breath almost sprayed on Lin Tian's face!
Her golden vertical pupils were filled with soul-capturing allure!
Her voice, moreover, was like honey, so sweet it made one's bones tingle:
"Oh my, Mr. Lin, you really know how to joke."
"How could a humble woman like me be worthy of your words'submit to me'?"
"However—" She extended a slender finger, lightly tracing circles on Lin Tian's chest, her eyes hazy and full of suggestion, "If you don't mind, Mystra would be very willing to engage in some deeper 'exchanges' with Mr. Lin."
"For example—" Her voice dropped even lower, filled with an indescribable temptation, "discussing the mysteries of 'transformation' and 'fusion'?"
She was trying to use her strongest weapon—beauty and seduction—to regain control of the situation!
She even subtly hinted at certain indescribable "exchange" methods!
She wanted to use this to numb Lin Tian! To make him lower his guard!
Then seize the opportunity to strike!
It must be said, Mystique's strategy of "retreating to advance" and "counterattacking" was indeed very clever!
Any ordinary man would probably have been utterly captivated and lost his reason by her enchanting appearance and bold provocation!
However—
Lin Tian merely smiled.
His smile carried a hint of understanding, and a hint of... even deeper playfulness.
Chapter 103
"Deep communication? Exploring mysteries?"
He reached out and gently clasped Raven's restless hand that was teasing his chest, stopping her next move.
His fingers seemed gentle, yet they contained an irresistible force! Making Raven feel as if her wrist was caught in an iron vice! She couldn't break free at all!
"I am indeed quite interested in this 'skin' of yours." Lin Tian's gaze swept uninhibitedly over Raven's figure, which appeared even more alluring and fiery due to her transformation, his eyes filled with undisguised appreciation and… possessiveness!
"However," he changed the subject, leaning close to Raven's ear, and in a voice like a devil's whisper, he slowly said, "Compared to exploring the mysteries of 'transformation' with you—"
"I seem to be more interested in knowing—"
"When you shed all your disguises and return to your unique blue skin—"
"The way you will be beneath me—"
"How utterly—"
"Captivating will it be?"
!!!
Lin Tian's words! Like a thunderclap from the nine heavens! Struck Raven's heart fiercely!!!
He… he actually knows my true identity?!
He knows I am Mystique?!
He even knows about my blue skin?!
How… how is this possible?!
Raven felt her brain completely freeze!
Her proud disguise! Her last trump card!
In front of this man! It was meaningless from the very beginning?!
He saw through everything long ago?!
But he was still playing along with her act?!
Playing? Yes! He was playing with her!!!
A huge shock! Shame! And the fear of being completely seen through! Instantly engulfed Raven!
The charming smile on her face completely vanished! Replaced by a pale complexion!
Her golden vertical pupils were filled with incredible horror and a hint of despair!
She felt like a clever little Joker! Performing a clumsy act on this man's stage! But she didn't know that the audience had seen through everything long ago! And were even secretly mocking her stupidity!
"Who… who exactly are you?!!!" Raven squeezed out these words through clenched teeth, using all her strength! Her voice trembled violently with fear!
"Who am I?" Lin Tian looked at Mystique, who had finally shed all her disguises and revealed her true fear and vulnerability, a victorious smile on his face.
He released Raven's wrist and instead gently stroked her blue hair (though it was currently gold) that was slightly trembling from shock.
His movements were as gentle as if he were handling a precious work of art.
His voice also became exceptionally soft, yet it carried a magic that struck deep into her soul:
"I am—"
"Your fated—"
"Master."
Master?!
These two words, like the most powerful mental imprint! Instantly struck the deepest part of Raven's heart!
She looked at Lin Tian's eyes, which seemed to encompass everything, yet were also filled with absolute possessiveness!
Listening to his gentle yet domineering voice!
Feeling the warm aura from his fingertips, which both frightened her and made her want to draw closer!
Raven's will!
At this moment!
Completely collapsed!!!
She gave up all resistance! All calculations! All disguises!
Like a lost child finding her ultimate home!
She stretched out her trembling arms and tightly hugged Lin Tian's waist!
Burying her face deep in his broad and warm chest!
Emitting a long-suppressed, low sob, carrying a hint of relief, a hint of grievance, and an indescribable sense of dependence.
Lin Tian held Mystique, who had finally completely "surrendered," in his arms.
Feeling the softness and trembling of her body.
A smile of satisfaction and control, like a hunter who had captured his most precious prey, appeared on his face.
Very good.
Mystique Raven Darkholme,
Is also in hand.
It seems tonight,
Will be another night full of "surprises" and "deep communication."
A sleepless night.
Under the ambiguous dim lights of the underground bar, time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Raven Darkholme, Mystique, known for her changeability and cunning, now hugged Lin Tian like a child who had shed all disguises and defenses, sobbing softly in his arms, releasing the years of loneliness, confusion, and doubts about her own existence that had accumulated in her heart.
Her life seemed to be a constant change of identities and faces, for survival, for her so-called "kindred," for Erik's fanatical ideal. She played various roles, but she forgot to be herself.
She yearned to be understood, to be accepted, to find a haven that could truly see through all her disguises, yet still be willing to embrace her.
And this man before her—
Lin Tian—
Although he was mysterious, domineering, and even evil.
But he seemed to be the first, and only one, who could truly see through her, understand her, and even appreciate her true self?
That sentence just now, "When you return to your unique blue skin," although full of teasing, was also like a ray of light that instantly illuminated the deepest darkness and inferiority in Raven's heart!
So, my true appearance is not ugly and alien in his eyes? Instead, it is unique? Captivating?
Coupled with Lin Tian's God-like power and wisdom, which seemed to know everything and could do anything!
And the fatal attraction emanating from him, which both frightened her and made her want to draw closer!
Raven's mental defenses completely collapsed.
She felt as if she had found her destined home.
Even if this home was a dangerous and unknown abyss.
She willingly jumped in.
Lin Tian quietly held Mystique, who was experiencing intense emotional fluctuations, in his arms, not disturbing her.
He knew that to completely conquer such a complex and insecure woman, it required not only overwhelming power but also a "conquest" of the heart.
He wanted her to understand that only by his side could she find her true "self," and gain true "acceptance" and "security."
Of course, this "security" was built on the foundation of absolute submission.
After a long while, Raven's crying gradually subsided.
She looked up, her golden vertical pupils, which had originally been full of vigilance and calculation, were now watery, filled with dependence and a hint of girlish shyness.
She looked at Lin Tian, her voice thick with a nasal tone: "Lin… I…"
"Shush," Lin Tian again pressed his finger to her lips, a gentle smile on his face, "You don't have to say anything."
"From now on, you are no longer Mystique, and no longer Raven Darkholme."
"You are Mystra."
"You are my Lin Tian's exclusive, unique Mystra."
He gave her a new identity, a name that belonged only to the two of them, filled with ambiguity and possessiveness.
"Mystra…" Raven (Mystra) trembled slightly upon hearing this name, her eyes flickering with confused yet surprised light.
This name, like a shackle, yet also like a gift.
Completely severed her from her past identity, and also established a deeper, more inseparable connection between her and this man!
"Yes, Mystra." Lin Tian lowered his head and pressed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead, "My little enchantress."
Mystra's cheeks instantly flushed! Her heart was filled with an indescribable sweetness and happiness!
Master… is he… praising me?
Does he like me like this?
She subconsciously wanted to transform into other appearances that Lin Tian might like to please him.
But Lin Tian pressed her shoulders and shook his head: "No need to change."
"I like you just the way you are now."
"This blue skin, golden pupils, and this beautiful tail…" Lin Tian 887 reached out and gently stroked the smooth and powerful black tail behind her, feeling the unique sensation of the fine scales, "Very unique, very charming."
Being praised so directly by Lin Tian for her most "alien" features, Mystra's heart pounded wildly! An unprecedented surge of confidence and joy flooded her heart!
So he really likes my original appearance!
He wasn't lying to me!
At this moment, Mystra's last trace of doubt and wariness towards Lin Tian completely vanished!
Her gaze at Lin Tian was filled with undisguised adoration, worship, and absolute loyalty!
"Master…" She again used her enchanting voice to actively kiss Lin Tian's lips, "Please let me 'serve' you well…"
Lin Tian looked at the sexy enchantress who had completely surrendered and actively threw herself into his arms, and naturally would not refuse.
He picked her up by the waist, ignoring the shocked, envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the others in the bar, and walked directly towards the hidden lounge behind the bar.
It seems tonight's "deep communication" will be even more exciting than expected.
The next morning.
Lin Tian left the underground bar feeling refreshed.
As for Mystra (Raven),
He left her behind, as an important chess piece he planted within the Brotherhood.
Of course, Lin Tian also left a sufficiently powerful "Hehuan Mark" and mental suggestion on her, ensuring her absolute loyalty to him and that she would not commit any acts of betrayal.
He also "friendly offered" some simplified methods of the "improved" Yin Yang Harmony Manual, allowing her to subtly absorb the opponent's energy and genetic information during "intimate contact" with Magneto or other male Mutants, and feed it back to him?
(Lin Tian: I'm truly a genius!)
Mystra naturally "gladly" accepted this, and promised to excellently complete the tasks assigned by her "Master."
Just like that, Lin Tian, without shedding a drop of blood, turned the second-in-command of the Brotherhood of Mutants into his own person.
Coupled with his previous deterrence of Professor X, and his conquest of Jean and Ororo—
It can be said that the two major Mutant forces of the entire X-Men Universe have already, overtly or covertly, fallen under his control!
"Next," Lin Tian stood on the bustling streets of New York, feeling the Harmony True Qi within him, which had become more active and "variable" due to absorbing Mystique's special genetic energy, a confident smile playing on his lips.
"It's time to deal with those little troubles on Earth."
"Like that Nick Fury who is still jumping around?"
"Like that Tony Stark who is trying to replicate Vision?"
Chapter 104
"And that Captain America who seems to have 'misunderstood' me?"
"And," Lin Tian's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent.
"That woman who dared to scheme against me, and the mysterious organization behind her?"
It seems that the grand drama in New York is far from over!
102 Magneto's Wrath? Overpowering Magneto with a Single Hand! Shocking the Entire Scene!
Mystique Raven was like a stone sinking into the sea, gone without a trace, completely losing contact.
This caused Magneto Erik Lehnsherr, far away at the Brotherhood Base, to feel an unprecedented anxiety and fury!
He knew that with Raven's ability and cunning, it was impossible for her to be out of contact for so long without reason!
The only explanation was that something had happened to her!
And it was very likely that she had fallen into the hands of that mysterious Eastern man, Lin Tian!!!
The thought of the torture and humiliation Raven might be enduring (Magneto envisioned various scenarios) instantly ignited an uncontrollable rage throughout his body!
A powerful magnetic field erupted uncontrollably, twisting the metal room he was in beyond recognition!
"Lin Tian!!!" Magneto roared to the sky, a furious cry filled with killing intent!
The sound was like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the entire Base!
The other Brotherhood members in the Base, sensing their leader's terrifying wrath, trembled in fear and dared not approach!
They had never seen Magneto so distraught!
What exactly had that Eastern man named Lin Tian done?! To push their King to such a state?!
"Gather everyone!!!" Magneto suppressed the fury in his heart and ordered in a cold, emotionless voice!
His eyes gleamed with a frantic metallic luster!
Since that Lin Tian dared to touch his people!
Then he shouldn't blame him for being impolite!!!
He would act personally!
He would let that arrogant Eastern man know!
Who was the strongest Mutant on this Planet!!!
Who was the true King of Mutants!!!
He would flatten the X-Academy!
He would tear Lin Tian to pieces!!!
He would reclaim everything that belonged to Mutants!!!
Under Magneto's inflammatory call for revenge!
The entire Brotherhood of Mutants, like a lit powder keg, instantly erupted!
Those radical Mutants who usually harbored hatred for humans and scoffed at the 'weakness' of the X-Academy!
As if injected with adrenaline, they all responded to Magneto's call!
Sabretooth Victor Creed let out a bloodthirsty roar! His sharp claws gleamed with a cold light!
Toad Todd Tolansky's long tongue flicked back and forth! His eyes filled with excitement and cruelty!
Red Devil Azazel's red skin showed faint black runes, his figure flickering in the shadows, emitting a sulfurous scent!
And other core Brotherhood members, such as Pyro JohnAllerdyce, who could control energy, and Blob Fred Dukes, who possessed immense strength and defense, and so on!
They gathered together, forming a powerful force that could make any country tremble with fear!!!
"Our target!" Magneto floated in mid-air, spreading his arms like a god (or rather, a demon king) descending upon the World, and loudly declared to the agitated Brotherhood members below, with a voice full of power and allure!
"Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters!!!"
"We are going there to reclaim our power! To liberate our brethren!"
"We will let those foolish humans! And that Eastern scum who dared to provoke us! Know what true fear is!!!"
"For the future of Mutants!!!"
"Roar!!!"
"Roar!!!"
"Roar!!!"
A deafening roar erupted from below!
The eyes of all Brotherhood members burned with fanatical flames!
An unprecedented large-scale assault on the X-Academy!
Under Magneto's will, ignited by anger and ambition, officially began!!!
...Meanwhile, at the X-Academy.
Lin Tian was leisurely lying on the lawn, basking in the Sun, enjoying the 'queen-level' treatment of Jean Greyusing her telekinesis to peel grapes for him, and Storm Ororo fanning him with a gentle breeze.
(Wanda and Gwen? They might be having a 'friendly' spar over who gets to massage Lin Tian?)
Suddenly, Lin Tian's eyebrows twitched slightly.
His powerful spiritual sense had clearly detected that hundreds of kilometers away, a massive surge of Mutantenergy, filled with violence and anger, was rapidly gathering and heading directly towards the X-Academy!
The powerful, almost substantial magnetic field force leading it felt incredibly familiar to him.
"Oh? So you finally couldn't resist coming yourself, huh?" Lin Tian's lips curved into a playful smile, "Erik Lehnsherr, you angry hedgehog, you're even more impatient than I thought."
It seems his previous actions of 'capturing' Mystique and deliberately cutting off her contact with the outside Worldhad a significant effect.
"Lin? What's wrong?" Jean Grey keenly noticed the subtle change in Lin Tian's mood and asked with some concern.
Her increasingly powerful telepathic abilities made her exceptionally sensitive to Lin Tian's emotional fluctuations.
"Nothing." Lin Tian ruffled her red hair and smiled, "Just some uninvited 'flies' trying to disturb our 'afternoon tea' time."
"Flies?" Jean was a little puzzled.
"Hmm, just a bunch of arrogant hyenas trying to challenge the 'lion's' prestige." Lin Tian said lightly, his tone full of disdain.
He did not immediately get up to deal with it.
He wanted to see how this group of 'hothouse flowers' at the X-Academy would react when faced with a full-scale assault from the Brotherhood?
Especially Professor X, who always advocated 'peace' and 'understanding,' how would he choose when his old friend and rival came knocking?
Perhaps this was also a good 'observation' opportunity?
And incidentally, it could also allow his 'queens' to stretch their muscles again?
Especially Jean and Ororo, these two 'newcomers,' who just needed a decent battle to test their recent 'training results.'
A glint of anticipation flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
It seems today's afternoon 'show' will be very exciting.
He even had the leisure to pick up a grape, precisely delivered to his mouth by Jean's telekinesis, and slowly savored it.
A storm was brewing.
And he was ready to enjoy this grand drama of Mutant civil war, which he had personally ignited.
Magneto Erik Lehnsherr, leading the Brotherhood of Mutants, arrived above the X-Academy like dark clouds pressing down, with an imposing aura!
Dozens of Brotherhood members, each with different abilities and fierce eyes, floated in the air or stood on the ground, completely surrounding the entire X-Academy!
Powerful energy fluctuations were unleashed wantonly, enveloping the entire Academy in a suffocating and tense atmosphere!
Inside the Academy, the alarm blared shrilly again!
Young Mutant students panicked, hiding in classrooms or dormitories, trembling with fear!
Meanwhile, the core members of the X-Men, led by Professor X, quickly gathered on the lawn in front of the main Academy building, ready for battle!
"Erik! What is the meaning of this?!" Professor X, sitting in his wheelchair, looked up at his old friend floating in mid-air, his face filled with grief and anger!
"How dare you bring people to attack the Academy?! Attack these innocent children?!"
"Charles! Stop with your hypocritical rhetoric!" Magnetolooked down at Professor X from above, his face devoid of any expression, only cold killing intent!
"I am not here today to reminisce with you!"
"Hand over that Eastern man! And Raven!" Magneto's voice was as harsh as metal grinding, filled with an unquestionable command!
"Otherwise! Today! I will level this hypocritical 'sanctuary' of yours!!!"
A powerful magnetic field erupted from him! The surrounding metal objects began to vibrate violently! Even the Earth began to tremble slightly, as if responding to his wrath!
The X-Men's faces changed dramatically as they felt Magneto's terrifying pressure! They all prepared for battle!
Cyclops Scott (though his face still bore the bruises from the last beating, his eyes were exceptionally firm) stood at the forefront!
Storm Ororo's eyes flashed with electricity! The sky instantly became overcast! Thunder rumbled!
Beast Hank let out a low roar! His muscles flexed! His claws extended!
Iceman Bobby was covered in frost!
Colossus transformed into his steel form!
The largest-scale civil war among Mutants seemed imminent!
And at this moment of extreme tension and readiness!
A lazy voice, with a hint of playfulness, suddenly came from the direction of the main building:
"Oh dear, who has angered our esteemed Magneto so much? Such a temper?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice!
They saw Lin Tian, embracing two stunning beauties (on his left was Wanda, with fiery red hair and cold eyes; on his right was Gwen, dressed in black, enchanting and alluring), strolling leisurely out of the main building as if taking a walk!
His face still held that calm, collected smile, as if everything was under his control!
He completely disregarded the tense standoff before him!
"Lin Tian!!!"
The moment Magneto saw Lin Tian, the long-suppressed fury and killing intent in his eyes completely erupted!!!
He could even clearly feel that Lin Tian's arms around those two women were so natural! So intimate!!!
Damn it!!!
This bastard!!!
Not only did he abduct Raven! He was even openly, in broad daylight, embracing two women!!!
It was an utter humiliation!!!
"Die for me!!!"
Magneto could no longer bear it! He roared and suddenly raised both hands!
Boom!!!
In an instant! The sky changed color!
All metal objects within the X-Academy's range! Whether it was the equipment on the training ground! The rebar in the buildings! Or even the pipes buried underground!!!
They all vibrated violently as if summoned by an invisible force! Then, like a tide, they converged in front of Magneto!
In the blink of an eye!
Countless metal fragments, rebar, and car wrecks coalesced into a gigantic metal storm that blotted out the Sun, filled with ferocious barbs and terrifying lethality!!!
Within this storm, Magneto's lifelong fury and hatred were contained! Along with his terrifying power, capable of twisting the Earth's magnetic field!!!
With this one strike, he intended to completely wipe out this damn Eastern man, along with the women beside him, and the entire X-Academy, from this World!!!
"Erik! No!!!" Professor X, seeing this scene, let out a terrified and desperate cry!
He knew that if Magneto's strike truly landed, it would undoubtedly be a World-ending catastrophe!!!
The X-Men were also stunned by the apocalyptic sight! They all unleashed their strongest powers, attempting to construct defensive barriers!
However!
Chapter 105
Facing this metal storm, powerful enough to destroy everything!
Lin Tian's face still held that calm and unperturbed smile!
He even had the leisure to turn his head and smile at Wanda and Gwen beside him:
"It seems someone isn't too happy to see us."
"Do I need to make a move, Master?" Gwen (Spider-Queen) licked her lips, her huge White eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty light! She was already impatient to tear apart these ants who dared to provoke her Master!
Wanda's eyes also glowed intensely red! Powerful Chaos Magic was poised for action!
"No need," Lin Tian waved his hand, stopping them.
Then, he looked up at Magneto Erik Lehnsherr, who was controlling the World-destroying metal storm like a demon god in the sky.
A... extremely "brilliant" smile appeared on his face?
"Erik Lehnsherr."
Lin Tian's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone present.
"You seem to have..."
"...made a mistake."
Before he finished speaking!
Lin Tian moved.
He didn't release World-destroying energy to counter, as everyone had imagined.
He merely... slowly... raised his right hand.
Towards the metal storm that blotted out the sky.
Gently.
He clenched his hand in the air!!!
Buzz—!!!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment!!!
Space seemed to solidify at this moment!!!
An indescribable, terrifying law fluctuation, transcending all known power systems, containing the creation of Yin and Yang, the origin of Chaos, and even a hint of mental distortion and reality alteration!!!
Instantly erupted from Lin Tian's body!!!
Like an invisible giant wave! Instantly sweeping across the entire World!!!
Then!!!
Under the gaze of everyone (including Magneto himself), which was like seeing a ghost, filled with extreme fear and disbelief!!!
That originally incredibly violent! Destructive! Sky-blotting giant metal storm!!!
Actually... actually... as if it had lost all support of power!!!
Began to... disintegrate inch by inch from within!!!
Rust!!!
Weather!!!
Finally!!!
Turning into a sky full of flying!!!
Harmless!!!
Metal dust!!!
Like a fall of... gray snow!!!
Fluttering down!!!
Covering the entire X-Academy!!!
Silence!!!
A deathly silence!!!
The entire World seemed to have been paused!!!
Everyone stared dumbfounded at this scene, like a divine punishment, completely incomprehensible!!!
Their minds went blank!!!
Magneto Erik Lehnsherr was struck by lightning!!!
He hung suspended in mid-air, stunned! Watching his proudest and strongest attack being so casually resolved by the other party?! He couldn't even understand the principle?!
Pfft!!!
A mouthful of fresh blood! Gushed out from his mouth!!!
He suffered an unprecedented backlash!!!
Not only physically, but also mentally!!!
His beliefs! His pride! His self-confidence as the strongest Mutant!!!
At this moment!!!
Was completely shattered by Lin Tian's god-like, unreasonable crushing!!!
"Now," Lin Tian slowly withdrew his hand, looking calmly at the tottering Magneto Erik Lehnsherr, who seemed to have aged decades in an instant.
A "kind" smile appeared on his face.
"Can we..."
"...have a good talk now?"
103 The Queen Arrives, Slaughter Feast! Rout, MagnetoBows His Head
Lin Tian's god-like, understated method of resolving Magneto Erik Lehnsherr's strongest attack completely awed everyone present! Both the X-Men and the Brotherhood members were terrified by this terrifying strength that was completely beyond comprehension!
Magneto Erik Lehnsherr bore the brunt! Not only did he suffer a huge power backlash and serious injuries, but more importantly, his pride and self-confidence as the strongest Mutant were completely crushed! He looked at Lin Tian's calm, unmoving eyes, which seemed to contain the entire Universe, and for the first time felt what true despair was!
In front of this man, his proud control over magnetism was like a child's toy!
The gap was too vast!
So vast that he couldn't even conjure the thought of resistance!
"Now, can we have a good talk?" Lin Tian's voice sounded again, breaking the deathly silence.
Magneto Erik Lehnsherr's lips trembled, wanting to say something, but due to his injuries and inner fear, he couldn't utter a single word.
And the Brotherhood members behind him were even more terrified, shaking like sieves; many with weaker psychological fortitude even collapsed directly to the ground! They had lost even the courage to flee!
They finally understood! What kind of terrifying existence they had provoked this time!
This was not human at all! This was a god! Or rather, a demon king even more terrifying than a god!!!
Looking at the Brotherhood members, who were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, a hint of disdain flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
With this little strength and courage, they dared to aspire to rule the World? How ridiculous.
He was even too lazy to personally clean up these "trash."
He turned his head and looked at the two "Queens" beside him who were already eager to act.
"Wanda, Gwen," Lin Tian's voice carried a hint of lazy amusement, "It seems these 'guests' aren't very friendly."
"Go," a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, "and 'play' with them properly."
"Remember," he added, "make it quick. Don't leave too many 'loose ends.'"
"Yes, Master!!!"
Upon receiving Lin Tian's command, Wanda and Gwen's eyes instantly erupted with incomparable excitement and bloodthirsty light!!!
They had long been annoyed by these ants who dared to provoke their Master!!!
Now they could finally unleash a massacre!!!
Whoosh!!!
Whoosh!!!
Two figures, one red and one black (purple-black), like two arrows released from a bowstring! Instantly rushed into the crowd of the Brotherhood!!!
A one-sided, power and beauty (or perhaps cruel beauty?) filled slaughter feast! Officially began!!!
Wanda floated in mid-air, her eyes glowing intensely red!
She didn't even bother to use those flashy illusions or psychic attacks!
Instead, she directly! Simply and brutally! Unleashed her terrifying Chaos Magic, which had already initially mastered the ability to distort reality!!!
Buzz—!!!
An invisible energy field instantly spread out! Enveloping dozens of Brotherhood members!
Immediately after!
In the terrified and desperate eyes of those Mutants!
Their bodies! Actually began to uncontrollably twist?! Deform?! Even decompose?!
Some bodies were twisted into strange shapes like pretzels! Bones shattered! Internal organs ruptured!
Others began to melt like wax figures! Their flesh and blood became a blur! Eventually turning into a nauseating puddle of pus!
And some were even worse! Directly decomposed into their most basic particles! Completely disappearing from this World! Leaving no trace behind!!!
Wanda watched the hellish scene before her expressionlessly! A hint of pleasure even flashed in her eyes?!
This was power! This was the feeling of controlling everything!
Those Mutants who were once incredibly powerful in her eyes! Now, before her! Were as fragile as ants! To be kneaded and annihilated by her at will!
This feeling! It was too wonderful!!!
She even felt some gratitude towards Lin Tian! Thanking him for bestowing upon her such powerful strength! Allowing her to taste the pleasure of revenge and control!
Meanwhile, on the other side!
Gwen (Purple-Gold Spider Queen)'s method of killing! Was even more filled with speed and violent aesthetics!
Her figure was like a ghost! Weaving through the crowd at high speed!
Her purple-black symbiote suit! Under the control of her will! Constantly changed its form!
Sometimes it was incredibly sharp claws! Easily tearing open enemies' throats and hearts!
Sometimes it was a long whip covered with barbs! Lashing enemies until their skin was torn, flesh ripped, and bones shattered!
And sometimes it was an impenetrable spider web! Firmly binding enemies! Then slowly torturing them to death with the corrosive and enchanting power of her purple-gold energy!!!
Every single one of her attacks! Was precise! Efficient! And filled with a cruel sense of art?!
She reveled in the pleasure of her prey struggling, fearing, and finally dying in despair in her hands!
The symbiote's bloodthirsty instinct! And the enchanting power of Harmony True Qi! As well as the darkness deep within Gwen's heart, born from jealousy and possessiveness! Perfectly merged together!
Turning her into a true! Terrifying! Queen of Nighttime Slaughter!!!
Pffft!
Gwen tore open the chest of a burly man (possibly Blob?) who tried to resist with brute force! She pulled out his still-beating heart! Then, tilting her head, she "curiously" examined the "toy" in her hand with her huge White eyes? A cruel yet innocent smile (bfbi) curved her lips?
Seeing this scene, Pietro (yes, Lin Tian also sent him out to "practice," mainly responsible for clearing the periphery and delivering finishing blows) couldn't help but shiver!
