The Hackensack River is a river flowing through New York and New Jersey. It is approximately parallel to the Hudson River, descending from north to south, and eventually injecting into Newark Bay in New York Harbor.

In the past, it was a quiet and beautiful river. Many nearby residents liked to walk by the river, but on this day it became extremely noisy. Armored vehicles crossed the bridges on the river and drove eastward at full speed. The Air Force also gathered a large number of fighter jets from several military airports such as Caldwell Wright in New Jersey, and sent them in groups and headed towards the chaotic downtown of New York.

At this time, a large number of citizens waiting to cross the bridge were crowded by the river. They crowded the sides of the bridge exit into a congestion. Most of these people were evacuated from the city to Western New York not long ago, but as the situation continued to deteriorate, people had to continue to migrate westward.

"Will we come back?" In the crowd, a little girl asked her mother.

"It's definitely possible, Angel, don't forget that your dad is a strong man. He will beat all the alien miscellaneous things away." Before the girl's mother could answer, the old man standing next to her had already agreed to her.

However, the old man's words were not groundless. This was the daughter of Bage Curtis. Now few people in the local area did not know that the former Air Force captain who turned into ghost armor had his help. The Zitaris who had been chasing him sporadically during the transfer were successfully eliminated. This team of residents who had been exiled from Western New York miraculously did not cause casualties like other communities.

Angel's mother gently stroked her daughter's hair and looked east. At the outermost part of the team, she saw the heavy figure of her husband, and at the same time, there were also eye-catching slogans and banners erected next to it.

"We want mutants, superpowers, and superheroes, and they can bring us safety! The politicians on Capitol Hill. They have nothing to do and will only hurt our guardian god!" Some emotional people shouted at the armored vehicles passing by. They burned the national flag at the same time and displayed the homemade slogans to nearby reporters.

No one came forward to stop the reporter. It was a fact that the president sent troops to surround the Mutant Academy. The night before, the aliens invaded the next day, which made people wonder if there was any connection. Many people privately speculated whether someone in the White House betrayed humans.

In the midst of panic, the number of protesters increased. They raised their hands enthusiastically, raised their middle fingers to the sky, and their slogans became louder and louder.

"You need invisible women, don't have armored vehicles; you need Iron Man, don't have senators; you need Magneto, don't have army and politicians!" The protesters continued to shout, surrounding cameras.

Through these camera lenses, radio workers who are still on duty have transmitted intermittent radio waves throughout the United States, allowing everyone to understand what is going on in this disaster-stricken city.

At this time, at Xavier Academy in Westchester, the respectable bald old man pressed the remote control with a serious expression.

"This is what Eric's men did. I saw Baby's younger brother Ronnie mixed in the crowd with some people. What exactly did he want to do?"

Charles Xavier was sitting in a wheelchair and talking to himself, before he could figure it out, the silver-haired old man next to him interrupted his thinking.

"I remember that the brother of Iceman is an ordinary person, that is the human business of himself. Why do you care about so much? Did you say that you have changed your principles and are willing to take the initiative to attack ordinary people?"

Magneto was injured in a battle between London and Xiao. He is a little weak now, but the tone can be heard full of ridicule and sarcasm. For this old friend, competition and cooperation seem to be an eternal theme. Even if they are under the same roof, they still have to say a few words to each other from time to time.

Compared to Magneto, the professor was more worried. After Eric's team took over the academy, the development here was extremely rapid. The power gathered by tens of thousands of mutants was even scared. Moreover, the times are different now. Many people know how to interfere with his spiritual control, which greatly weakened his power. Charles, whose mental control failed, was almost no different from ordinary old people. Small characters like Ronnie actually wore instruments to resist spiritual power, which shows that they were obviously prepared, not just taking the opportunity to start a few riots among the people.

Charles pondered for a while, suddenly shivered, turned his head and looked south. The huge spiritual power instantly crossed hundreds of miles and directly descended into the most important building in the entire country in Washington.

The next moment he moaned and closed his eyes in pain.

"Petro brought people into the White House..." Before Magneto could ask, the professor told what he saw.

The silver-haired old man laughed loudly, laughing so hard that he was out of breath.

"Charles, Charles." He called his old friend's name affectionately and stood up proudly. "He finally went on my path, and I knew he would do this. From 1962 to the present, I finally won the war between us."

"Who is the winner? Magneto!" The silver-haired old man raised his hands and rushed out of the dean's office like a satisfied child.

Qin was wearing an elegant and luxurious red dress and walking alone in the abandoned streets. Today she no longer needed to pay attention to the actions of young people. Eric was what she had to pay attention to.

When she closed her eyes, the material world immediately dimmed, and gray and white lines replaced the colorful external environment, opening the essence of things to her without reservation.

Now the original appearance of the outside world has disappeared, without the dust and raging flames in the sky, the thunder that constantly erupts no longer exists, and the entire city has become a flat and deserted land, and a huge shadow appears in the middle of this land, like thick dark clouds covering the city, invisibly swallowing all colors and light.

In this dense dark cloud, there is a person closest to her. Even in an unprecedented fierce battle, she still exudes a bright and bright light.

After a smile, Qin was about to walk into the dark clouds, but suddenly stopped again.

There is a little problem before.

Seeing that she stopped, the two people hiding nearby revealed their whereabouts, one in front and one behind.

"Jin Gerey", a man in a red tuxedo with a diamond on his forehead, called Qin's name first. "I Nathaniel Essex, maybe you have heard of my name, and I'm glad to see you here."

Qin didn't say anything. She knew that this was a crazy scientist. She had been thinking about herself and Scott's genes in private, thinking that the genes of Phoenix Girl and Cyclops could be fused to produce the most powerful mutant. It is said that he had also created a clone of his own to Scott, but was designed and eliminated by the shrewd White Queen Emma.

So who is the other person besides him?

Another person stood up. He was extremely burly, with gray skin and blue lips, making people feel his strength at first sight.

This is apocalypse. In 1943, Eric threw it into a wormhole and sent it out of the earth. Unexpectedly, at this time he returned to the familiar world.

"Your man exiled me to the other end of the universe seventy years ago. I finally returned to Earth with the help of Thanos. Don't interfere in their battles. Today is the day of your destruction."

Apocalypse smiled grimly and approached with Essex.

Facing two strong enemies alone, Qin was not afraid. Her hair fluttered gently, and dazzling white light surrounded her.

Although he was in the most intense battle, Eric also received news from Qin, knowing that she was temporarily stopped by an unexpected opponent, but he was not surprised. On the contrary, he was at the most powerful moment in history, and even Thanos, the cosmic overlord, felt more and more difficult.

With the help of this alien invasion, the will of the residents around New York was condensed. A person's thoughts may be extremely small, but millions of people pray for help at the same time and shouted his name wholeheartedly, forming a deep tunnel and vast electromagnetic field, which faintly echoed it from a level that is invisible to the naked eye.

In the past, he had been exposed to the power of this thought, and it was indeed mysterious, but today this profound and vast force field still gave him an indescribable joy.

"This is the power of faith. The will of countless people are brewing and sublimated, and such magnificent and profound fruits have been condensed."

Eric's body is still fighting, and his energy is still running, but his soul has jumped to a completely new level, and even Thanos holding the soul gem in his hand has not discovered it.

All kinds of thoughts were dying, and the shallow touch could also bring him endless inspiration. The three infinite gems in his body seemed to no longer exist. Their essence was completely extracted, and their external forms became redundant. They were slowly repelled and floated on the palms and foreheads of both hands.

This feeling is extremely wonderful, full of unprecedented fantasy ideas and indescribable subtle knowledge, which immersed him in the vast ocean and fully understood the mysteries of the universe.

At this time, Thanos seemed to find something wrong. He tentatively slowed down the offensive, and Eric also reduced his defense strength - he was wandering around, just responding based on his physical instinct intuition.

Thanos snorted, his protruding purple chin raised high, his head quickly turned, and then suddenly approached Eric and raised his right hand to him.

A blue light flashed, and the cosmic cube embedded in the golden gloves released a wave.

Next, the two people disappeared at the same time, and disappeared into the void like a free wind. (To be continued...)
