章 48: Shocked
"Comrades, we just avoided a nuclear war!"
Seeing the freighter sink, everyone on the fighter plane was very excited.
The freighter that was about to cross the line sank, and both the United States and the Soviet Union breathed a sigh of relief. The officer who was controlled by Charles to launch a missile to sink the freighter came back to his senses and stood there in disbelief.
However, juast when everyone was rejoicing, a sudden burst of terrifying energy fluctuations from somewhere below the sea made Charles and the others on the fighter plane nervous.
Their old opponent, Shaw, had not yet appeared.
After receiving feedback from the Red Devil, Shaw, in the nuclear submarine deep under the sea, was furious. Everything had been going according to his plan, but he hadn't expected it to be thwarted by Charles and the others at the last moment. At this point, Shaw no longer cared about anything else. No matter what, he would provoke this war.
The violent energy fluctuations were the aftermath of Shaw beginning to absorb the energy from the nuclear reactor.
"It's Shaw! He's absorbing the huge energy of the reactor, but something is blocking my perception, and I can't find his exact location," Charles said to everyone, withdrawing his powerful mental power and looking helpless.
"The energy fluctuations are too intense, and the sonar is also seriously disturbed. I can't find the location of the nuclear submarine..."
After trying for a while, the sonar still couldn't locate the nuclear submarine.
And Magneto, who controls magnetic forces, was also strongly disturbed by the nuclear reactor. The magnetic field under the sea was in chaos, making it impossible to clearly locate the nuclear submarine.
"We must find a way to locate Shaw and the nuclear submarine as soon as possible, otherwise, when he completely absorbs the energy of the nuclear reactor, no one will be able to stop him!"
As the energy fluctuations under the sea surface intensified, not only were Charles and his team nervous and anxious, but even the United States and the Soviet Union noticed the anomaly.
In this near-miss nuclear war, there were too many unexplained events. The high-level commanders weren't fools. Coupled with the recent loss of control over a freighter, they sensed something was amiss.
All the officials aware of the situation had a vague feeling that an invisible hand was manipulating events behind the scenes, pushing everything toward conflict.
The energy fluctuations under the sea created a tense atmosphere, giving everyone a sense that a storm was about to break.
"Maybe I can help you."
Just as the X-Men were at a loss, a voice that surprised Charles came through the fighter panel.
"Mr. Johnny?!"
As Charles realized who it was, a figure flew over from the distant sky, moving faster than Beast Hank's fighter jet.
A huge surge of energy enveloped Johnny's body, making his face hazy and unclear due to the violent fluctuations.
With the ability to control cosmic energy and his incredible speed, this was Johnny's regular flying pace. If he wanted, he could reach supersonic speed.
"What a terrifying energy fluctuation. Is this Mr. Johnny's true strength?"
As a mutant skilled in telepathy, Charles's perception was much more sensitive than that of ordinary people. The moment he sensed Johnny, his eyes were filled with shock.
From the time Johnny's voice was heard to when he crossed the sky and reached the X-Men's fighter, it took only a few breaths.
This was the first time Johnny revealed his aura after returning to Earth.
After completing his first system task, the system rewarded him with 1,000 devouring points. Johnny didn't save them; he upgraded his Titan physique to level 10 and his cosmic energy control to level 10.
With these two abilities at level 10, Johnny's combat effectiveness nearly doubled.
On Earth, Johnny's body was almost invincible. Whether facing natural disasters or weapon attacks, it was difficult to harm him.
Even the most powerful weapon on Earth, a nuclear bomb, posed little threat to Johnny.
The appearance of the X-Men's fighter planes had already surprised both the United States and the Soviet Union. Seeing Johnny fly at supersonic speed left countless people wide-eyed and doubting their senses.
"Everyone here, whether from the United States or the Soviet Union, by now you must have some suspicions. There is a massive conspiracy behind this near-war. Someone is manipulating events, leading us to the brink of conflict. Next, I will reveal the truth!"
Using his exquisite control over the universe's energy, Johnny spoke calmly, but his voice thundered across the entire sea, causing the United States and the Soviet Union to hesitate, too shocked to make any sudden moves.
The moment his voice faded, Johnny's formidable presence surged once more, making everyone who witnessed the scene feel suffocated by his power.
"Who is this person?"
"He feels like a god of war from myths and legends!"
On the warships of the United States and the Soviet Union, everyone felt Johnny's overwhelming power and began speculating. High-ranking officials from both nations also pondered the "conspiracy" Johnny had mentioned.
"Get out of here!"
With a light shout, Johnny raised massive waves on the sea. Under everyone's horrified gazes, he condensed a huge amount of energy into a giant ice-blue hand, several times larger than the main ships of the United States and the Soviet Union.
This terrifying ice-blue hand descended from the sky, plunging into the deep sea. Although Johnny, like Charles and others, did not know the exact location of the nuclear submarine hidden underwater, his ability to control cosmic energy allowed him to sense the general area of the nuclear energy surge.
And that was enough.
The enormous hand delved deep into the seabed, targeting the location with the most intense energy fluctuations. As it descended, it churned the waters, creating waves tens of meters high, almost like a tsunami.
A dull collision echoed from the depths, and a gleam of brilliance appeared in Johnny's eyes. The ice-blue hand, condensed from cosmic energy, had found the nuclear submarine. It grasped the submarine and forcefully pulled it from the deep sea.
The massive vibrations beneath the sea shocked not only the United States and the Soviet Union but also the group of X-Men.
The sheer power Johnny displayed was beyond their comprehension.
