Chapter 778 Origin of Fear—Vegetative Magneto
Calling it an explanation, Supreme Celestial actually just simplified what he knew and told the X-Men.
This included the relationship between Onslaught and Magneto, the matter of the Serpent and Skirn this time, and of course, his own self-introduction.
"In other words, the Principal became so extreme because of Charles's consciousness?"
Cyclops looked at the old man lying on the bed beside him with lingering fear. The thought of the person he admired almost disappearing in that way made him afraid.
"You can't put all the blame on Charles either," Supreme Celestial waved his hand. "The root cause of Onslaught's birth is still the unfair treatment suffered by mutants."
"Charles got into a dead end, causing the darkest thoughts in his inner heart to erupt. Afterwards, this thought entered Magneto's brain and combined with his negative emotions, giving birth to something as strange as Onslaught."
"In short, this matter is still the fault of ordinary humans," Fire Man John clicked his tongue in displeasure. "If it weren't for the things they did to us, Charles wouldn't have gone crazy, and the Principal wouldn't have almost disappeared."
Supreme Celestial shrugged. The conflict between humans and mutants is intensifying. Naturally, there are many reasons for humans bringing this upon themselves, but mutants are definitely not bad guys either.
It's just that in this universe, perhaps because of the absence of Professor X, Magneto has become a little softer, which is why mutants have become the weaker side.
But fortunately, in this universe, Sentinel robots are still in the early stages, and the more powerful Nimrod Sentinel has not yet been developed. If mutants want to live well and hide far away, they can, and a tragedy like Krakoa will not happen.
If one day a war between mutants and humans really breaks out, it seems that it can only be the latter who are asking for it.
"Excuse me, sir," Jean asked with concern. "The Principal hasn't woken up yet. May I ask if it's because of some kind of injury?"
"Sort of." Supreme Celestial raised his right hand, and in his palm, a red bead was lying quietly.
"This contains Onslaught's consciousness. When Onslaught occupied Magneto's body and took the dominant position, he must have caused a lot of damage to his consciousness. Although I don't know why Onslaught didn't directly destroy him, Magneto is indeed still alive."
"It's just that being alive is being alive, but being complete is definitely not complete. The current Magneto can only be considered a vegetative state patient."
"This..." Jean's face changed drastically. Not only her, but all the X-Men at this time had the same expression. Obviously, they could not accept this result.
"May I ask if there is any method to cure the Principal?" Cyclops asked hastily.
Magneto's significance to mutants is great. He is not only the spiritual pillar of all mutants, but also the 'nuclear weapon' of mutants. With him, humans dare not attack the mutants on Mutant Island.
Mutants without Magneto are like birds without wings, and may die in the hands of natural enemies at any time.
"There is no special effects medicine for this," Supreme Celestial folded his arms. "Not just humans, but many intelligent creatures' understanding of the brain is less than half."
"The brain, spirit, and mind domain are very mysterious. Carelessness can lead to mistakes. If you seek medical treatment in desperation, Magneto may directly suffer brain death. The method I can think of is to let him rest and recuperate, and then have someone with ability in relevant areas help him with rehabilitation training."
Supreme Celestial was not lying. He is indeed powerless in this regard. Among his alien heroes, only Alien X can perfectly solve this matter. The only other one who can touch this field is Ghostfreak.
But Ghostfreak can only kill or absorb the spirit and soul of creatures. He cannot do things like repair.
The X-Men looked bitter. Now that things have come to this, this is the only method. After all, it is the first time they have encountered such a thing, and they can't think of any good method at the moment.
"We can only do this for now," Beast Hank sighed. "Let's follow this sir's method first. I will continue to think of methods."
"Please." Cyclops nodded. After Magneto fell, he became the leader here. After all, Magneto had been training him in this direction before. Usually, when the X-Men go on missions, they all listen to him, the Captain, so naturally no one has any opinion at this time.
So Cyclops began to instruct others on what to do next, but at this time Supreme Celestial interrupted them again.
"You'd better consider the residence problem first," Yang Le said, pointing to the earth ball above their heads.
Cyclops suddenly realized. Magneto is unconscious at this time, and his ability naturally cannot continue to be maintained. That is to say, the original floating island will definitely sink.
But, why hasn't the island sunk immediately?
"I used my magic to stabilize it for you," Supreme Celestial explained. "I can help you maintain everything on Mutant Island, let it continue to operate as a floating island, and I can also help you set up defense facilities."
"Then, what price do we have to pay?" Cyclops frowned and asked. There is no free lunch in the world. Even children know this. He certainly wouldn't be so naive as to think that Supreme Celestial would help them for free.
"Very simple," Supreme Celestial grinned. "Just some small matter."
...
In another world far from Earth, Niflheim, which is a little higher than Helheim, this silent Mist Kingdom once again ushered in lifeline.
Hela summoned all the kings, just like the previous times, but this time there was a slight difference.
"Finally," Hela opened her hands. "We can finally overthrow Asgard and let this group of martial men who claim to be justice taste the taste of Hell."
"Are we going to work for that Serpent?" Cynder looked displeased. "This is not the same as what was agreed upon at the beginning."
"Don't worry about these insignificant small matter, Your Majesty Queen," Malekith straightened his sleeves. "To achieve our purpose, it is necessary to use the power of the Serpent. Seemingly helping him, in fact, we are helping ourselves."
Malekith's words had a certain effect. Cynder's expression improved slightly, and the flame burning on his body became much fiercer.
"What we have to do is lead the army to launch an attack on Midgard and let the Serpent return to his peak as soon as possible. When that time comes, he alone can turn the entire Asgard upside down."
Hela's corner of mouth curled into a smile. She raised her hands slightly, and strange green energy rose from her body. The ash underfoot her began to tremble constantly, until several skeleton crawled out of the soil.
