"I once heard an ancient legend. Continuing downward in the deepest part of human dreams, through the darkness, you can reach a place called the Kingdom of Dreams, where an ancient god sleeps. He is called the Dream God."
"He is responsible for all dreams and thoughts in the world, and is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. He has a dream made up of a thousand cats, and can use it to turn dreams into reality."
"But that's just a legend." Charles shook his head and said, "No matter how powerful my psychic ability is, in reality, I am still a disabled person with inconvenient legs and feet. When I encounter danger, I still need other people to protect me.
…”
"The same goes for me. I have said before that I am an ordinary person, just a psychologist with a special research direction."
Schiller stood up and paced behind the sofa. As he walked, he said: "Subject to my ordinary physical condition, I do not have such strong spiritual power to explore the upper limit of this ability. Therefore, I invited you here.
Work with me on this topic."
"The subject includes two aspects. On the one hand, how to create a better consciousness space and dreams, and on the other hand, how to transform the created dreams into reality..."
"I know that the second aspect sounds a bit unrealistic, but maybe you have also done similar research. This general direction is just the ultimate goal, and my current stage goal is to expand the palace of thinking...
…”
"For some reasons, I built a tower with a height of more than 330 floors in my conscious world. However, this height has been maintained for a long time and there has been no breakthrough for a long time."
"I guess this may be because my heart and thinking power are not enough to expand it anymore..."
Schiller shook his head, but there was no regret in his tone. He said: "This level of thinking palace is completely sufficient, or in fact it is far beyond the scope of use. 80% of the buildings are
It is an experimental building, a place where I try out various creations."
"But I'm still very curious, what is the upper limit of psychic ability? Professor Charles, I hope you can study this topic with me. Perhaps, we can also find other members and set up a research group?"
"I'm very interested in this topic, but I still have to ask, why are you doing this research and what are you going to do with the results?"
"This is what I mentioned before. Have you heard the news that the cosmic war is about to begin?"
Charles shook his head and said: "The first time I heard this news was from your phone call just now, but I can feel that there are many turbulent souls near Manhattan. They should not be ordinary people, and the information spread from their mouths,
It is indeed related to the war..."
"You and I both know how insignificant human beings are in the universe. Some people say to me that magic can save everything. Others say that the ultimate solution for human beings is machinery and technology. I do not deny these, but I feel that,
We can also find another way out."
"The thinking and consciousness of intelligent life are the most precious parts of the entire universe. If humans can take a step forward in this field, we will have an extra way out when facing these crises."
"If you were talking to me about these things in real life, I might not be so interested, but you chose a good place..." Charles also stood up. He looked out the window of the house, which was prosperous and prosperous outside.
Busy tower interior.
Charles walked to the window and said with a smile: "Thank you for inviting me to study together, because if you don't do this, I might plagiarize your research results when I go back. This is not very ethical..."
"Although the things I said to you about creating a dream world and turning dreams into reality feel too far away, but I think it might not be bad to build such a building in my consciousness space."
"Okay, let's get down to business. What was that war about? What did SHIELD want you to do with mutants when they asked you to come to me?"
"Don't worry, Professor Charles. There is endless time in the dream for me to explain the entire plan clearly, and after that, you also have enough time to think about what to do..."
Half an hour later in real time, in Charles' office, Cyclops said hesitantly: "...Well, there are not many opportunities to train children's abilities, but the internship with SHIELD will be a bit..."
Charles turned his wheelchair and came to the window. He said: "If someone else was leading the team, I might not be at ease, but the person in charge of this cooperative internship is Captain America Steve, and his character is still trustworthy.
.”
"But what are we going to do? There shouldn't be a battle to fight now, right?"
"On the contrary, a cosmic war is about to begin. Although the main battlefield is not near the earth, the aftermath will inevitably spread here. SHIELD has other plans for this war, but their capabilities are not enough."
"So, they want to use mutants again?"
"It's just mutual use. The scale of this war means that no one can survive alone. In this case, escaping is not an option. It is better to take the initiative..."
"Scott..." Charles turned the wheelchair and turned back. He looked at Cyclops and said, "I have always opposed war, but it is obvious that we cannot stop wars in the universe. In this case, we need to keep up with the times.
You must not fall behind, otherwise you will eventually be left behind..."
Cyclops nodded and did not raise any objection. Charles asked: "Who is in charge of internship work and external liaison now?"
"Well, it was supposed to be an angel, but his family's business has been quite busy recently. I heard that his company was involved in an immortality factor project, and he had to go home to help, so..."
"Okay, then who has more free time now?"
"Well, professor, with all due respect, even if a war occurs in the universe and the line of fire is not near us, it should still be dangerous, right? We shouldn't mobilize urgently and then find a few of the most reliable people to take the students
Are you going to contact SHIELD?"
Charles was stunned for a moment and said: "...Oh, yes, war is quite dangerous. I just wanted to emphasize this point. In this case, you and your brother should be free, right?"
When mentioning his brother "Shockwave", Cyclops clearly showed an unnatural expression. The relationship between the two of them was very bad. Cyclops said in a helpless tone: "Last time, he and Iceman had an affair with Polaris.
We had a big quarrel and he vowed never to come here again. The last time I saw him was three months ago. I can’t count on him for anything..."
"Okay, so what is Storm doing? She must have been back two months ago, right?"
"She seems to have gone back to her hometown, I'm not sure." Cyclops touched his chin and said, "She seems to be in love..."
"Where's Qin?"
"The school's teaching cannot be separated from her. Now the admissions work and daily teaching arrangements are all handled by her alone. Oh, by the way, Wolverine took the Phantom Cat to the West and seemed to be tracking down something called a dragon bone...
…”
Charles also covered his forehead and asked: "Who else is in the school now?"
"Both Colossus and Beast are here, but many people can be contacted at present. If we need to summon them, they should all come."
"...No, there is no need to go to war so much. It would be better if Iceman can come back. If not, just you and Colossus, by the way..."
"I heard from Steve that they also have an underage child there, the Spider-Man who is very famous in New York recently. You must keep an eye on the children and don't conflict with them."
"Spider-Man?" Cyclops raised his eyebrows and said, "He is indeed quite famous. All the major newspapers in New York have published his figure wandering around New York. Is he actually not yet an adult?"
"When Steve told me the news, I was also surprised. I originally thought he was a mutant, but then Steve told me that his mutation was different from ours."
"But no matter what, having a peer will always make their communication smoother."
"Who better to let go? The upperclassmen?"
"I think Shadow, Crystal and Amplifier are good. Aren't the three of them making great progress recently?"
"But they are not even in the same grade, and their abilities cannot match each other. Can they really form a team?"
"Actually, I don't understand, Professor..." Cyclops asked with some confusion: "Fighting in the center of the universe and practicing with the children of Xavier Academy shouldn't have anything to do with it, right? We can't let those teenagers
Will the child go to war?"
"Indeed, these two things are not directly related, but they are just a small part of the cooperation projects in a series of events..."
Laser Eyes was even more confused. He felt that Professor Charles seemed a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different. He always felt that Charles was hiding something from him, but he couldn't ask.
The next day, in SHIELD's underground training base, Nick stood behind the one-way glass and watched Spider-Man compete with several mutant teenagers. He looked at Schiller and asked: "I asked you to find me some mutants."
A mutant is doing dirty work, and you brought me a bunch of kids? I thought they were going to be wolverines."
"During the communication between me and Charles, I actively hinted at your request to him, but he seemed to understand this as an internship opportunity at the Mutant Academy, but it doesn't matter, aren't they still following two teachers?"
Nick pursed his lips and looked at Cyclops and Colossus, who were standing next to the field and cheering for the students. He shook his head and said, "If they weren't here, maybe I could convince these simple kids to help me.
I'm working, but they're staring at me, what can I do? That guy with the red eyes already dislikes me..."
"Don't you just want to make some noise and divert other people's attention so that you can lobby Congress to give SHIELD more power in this cosmic war? I think they can definitely do this...
…”
Nick opened his mouth, looked at Schiller, and said, "Well, even if we ignore the immorality of letting minors do dirty work, what can they do? They can't even beat Spider-Man..."
Nick's eyes turned to the field. At this time, a teenage girl stood in the center of the field waving her arms.
The shadows of all the objects in the field were controlled by her and attacked Spider-Man, but Spider-Man seemed to have anticipated her movements in advance and nimbly dodged left and right without being disturbed at all.
"Is it possible that it's not that they are too weak, but that Spider-Man is too strong?"
