Adapting in Marvel

Under the spiritual pressure of the global human consciousness, Professor X was finally promoted to a Level 5 Mind Mutant.

At this moment, Professor X discovered he could split his mind into countless fragments.

These fragments of spiritual consciousness directly alleviated the burden of managing the overwhelming emotions of the global population.

At the same time, these fragments of consciousness allowed Professor X to seemingly exist in countless places simultaneously.

It was an extraordinary and almost surreal spiritual perspective.

He realized that, with just a thought, he could potentially synchronize and influence the brains of billions of people.

However, he quickly understood this was merely an illusion created by his newfound status as a Level 5 Mind Mutant.

While he could indeed control many individuals simultaneously through the splitting of his consciousness, controlling the entirety of humanity at once was beyond even the capabilities of the brainwave amplifier.

Professor X, now fully embracing his evolved mental abilities, had a thought.

His mental consciousness rapidly fragmented into countless pieces and was transmitted to every corner of the world through the brainwave amplifier.

"I see it. I see all the nuclear missile silos in the world."

Twenty minutes later, Professor X's fragmented consciousness created a mental network, a web of thought that only he could perceive.

Through this network, Professor X could direct his fragmented consciousness anywhere at will and issue precise instructions within moments.

At this moment, Professor X's mental consciousness fragments had spread to nuclear launch bases around the world and automatically entered the minds of tens of thousands of nuclear missile launch personnel who controlled the nuclear buttons globally.

With just a single thought, Professor X could take instant control of all nuclear missile launch personnel worldwide.

"Brian, what should I do next?"

Professor X did not turn his head, but a fragment of his spiritual consciousness appeared directly in front of Brian.

Brian looked at the spiritual projection with interest.

This was not an illusion or a mental mirage—it was a tangible projection of Professor X's mind into reality.

Not only Brian, but all the other X-Men members could also see the projection of Professor X's consciousness.

"Cool, has the professor's spiritual power increased again?"

"There is no doubt that Professor X has become a Level 5 Mutant."

"Great! We X-Men also have a Level 5 Mutant now."

The X-Men members were visibly excited, their faces glowing with enthusiasm.

They were genuinely thrilled that Professor X had ascended to Level 5.

As Mutants, they deeply understood the significance of reaching Level 5.

Just looking at The Black King was proof enough.

A Level 5 Mutant symbolized unparalleled strength and dominance.

It also meant that the X-Men finally had the means to stand on equal footing with Black King Shaw.

Amid the cheers of the group, Brian remained unfazed.

He simply watched Professor X calmly and then reminded him:

"Now, we just need to wait—wait for humanity to fall into its most helpless and desperate moment."

After ascending to a Level 5 Mind Mutant, Professor X was able to voice some of his own opinions, even when faced with Brian's persuasion.

"Brian, perhaps we should immediately launch these nuclear bombs into outer space."

Brian looked intently at Professor X, his gaze sharp, and then said earnestly:

"Charles, you have to understand, if we act too hastily and resolve the nuclear explosion crisis prematurely, Sabastian Shaw might devise another way to execute his destructive plans."

Brian's persuasion ability ultimately prevailed.

Professor X nodded in agreement, seeing the logic in Brian's reasoning.

"You're right, Brian. We should wait a little longer."

With that, the X-Men settled into a tense, long wait.

While the X-Men were waiting for the right moment, the outside world was already in chaos and despair.

As the nuclear crisis loomed, humanity fell deeper into helplessness and panic.

At this time, a video began to spread rapidly across the globe.

This video featured Professor X's declaration, recorded by Brian:

"I am the leader of the X-Men, Professor X.

As a leader, I will use all my strength to save the world, to save all mankind.

May God be with me."

Professor X's words became a beacon of hope for humanity.

People around the world clung to these words as if they were their last lifeline, silently praying that Professor X could succeed in averting the catastrophic nuclear crisis.

Even Shaw saw the video.

But he dismissed it with disdain.

He believed he had already secured victory.

His plan, in his mind, was unstoppable.

Even if Professor X could control a few nuclear silos with his mental powers, there were tens of thousands of silos across the globe.

Sabastian Shaw thought with confidence: Not even a Level 5 Mutant could control all of them simultaneously.

In fact, what Shaw said was correct.

Even if Professor X had become a Level 5 Mutant, his mind could still only cover a limited area, and he couldn't control all the nuclear silos simultaneously.

But Shaw had miscalculated one critical factor:

Professor X's brainwave enhancer.

Black King Shaw had no idea that this device could expand Professor X's brainwaves to cover the entire globe.

At this moment, The Black King was opening champagne to celebrate in advance.

In front of the Red Square in the Soviet Union, all the members of the Hellfire Club were present.

Their faces were filled with the joy of an imminent victory.

To them, the outcome was already decided.

In just five hours, Sabastian Shaw would personally give the order to launch all the Soviet nuclear warheads at the nuclear-armed countries of the world.

At that moment, in an attempt to survive, those countries would retaliate with their own nuclear arsenals.

A nuclear war would become inevitable.

"Let us toast to the new world ahead."

Shaw raised his glass high above his head, his voice triumphant, celebrating the seemingly certain outcome.

"Cheers to the upcoming Mutant world."

Several members of the Hellfire Club raised their glasses together and drank deeply.

Only the Red Devil sat silently in the corner, his expression unreadable.

"Azazel."

Black King Shaw noticed the Red Devil's demeanor, frowned slightly, and walked over to him.

"What's wrong?"

The Red Devil nodded slightly at Black King Shaw but remained silent.

"Azazel, what's troubling you?"

Black King Shaw stared at him for a moment before asking directly.

"Shaw, you are strong enough to withstand the impact of a nuclear bomb.

But my body is fragile—I'm afraid I won't survive a nuclear explosion."

The Red Devil spoke with visible worry.

Hearing the Red Devil's concern, the other members of the Hellfire Club, who had been celebrating, grew quiet and looked uneasy.

"Haha, I thought it was something serious."

Black King Shaw laughed heartily, then patted the Red Devil on the shoulder reassuringly.

"Azazel, your worries are unnecessary.

I've prepared a nuclear shelter for you and everyone else, right below the President's office."

Shaw's calm explanation brought visible relief to the Red Devil and the rest of the Hellfire Club.

With their concerns addressed, the celebration resumed.
