Chapter 3133 "Romantic" Wedding Season (Fifty-three)
"Robert? The same name as Speedball." Polaris muttered to herself, but soon she added: "If it was a human, it wouldn't be strange. Humans can always produce all kinds of weird people. This is recognized by the universe. But how could he become an experimental subject of the old Skrull Empire? Could he really have been captured by a flying saucer?"
"That's not so clear." Professor X said, "We have to wait until he wakes up. OK, you guys should leave as soon as possible."
Polaris and Iceman leave, and soon after, a wormhole portal appears in the office, and Iceman drags out a huge hibernation capsule.
The door of the hibernation capsule was transparent, so Professor X could see a handsome young man lying inside. He looked young, but quite strong, and seemed to have enormous power in his body, the kind of power that would make Professor X feel frightened.
Iceman put the hibernation chamber in place, turned to Professor X and asked, "What should we do next? Professor, should we activate this thing?"
"No, don't be in a hurry, let me take a look." Professor X walked around the hibernation capsule, and soon Dr. Beast came in, obviously called in by Professor X.
"Is there any way to wake him up, Hank?"
Doctor Beast also studied it for a long time, and soon he said: "This thing should also have the function of suppressing power. It is better not to activate it for the time being. Can't you detect his brain waves?"
"Very weak, very weak." Professor X paced around the hibernation capsule and said, "His condition is very strange, his brain waves are very regular, not like the normal brain waves of a coma person, but a bit like... a code?"
"password?"
"Yes, I can't describe to you what I felt. It was a rhythmic music. I think it might be used to activate something."
"What is activated? Could it be this hibernation chamber?"
"Can you find a superficial way to start it?"
"No, what I mean by activating it is to destroy it."
"It seems that this kind of brain wave may be the key. Do you have a brain wave oscilloscope?"
"You still need that thing?"
Professor X looked at Doctor Beast, and Doctor Beast slapped his forehead and said, "That's right, not everyone has the ability to read minds, so he must use tools to reveal the password."
Soon, Dr. Beast brought out a portable oscilloscope, and as the machine started up, regular lines appeared on the screen.
"Ah, it should be a combination of valley and peak numbers, right? But where do I enter the password?"
Doctor Beast pounded around the hibernation capsule for a long time, and finally found a small button at the bottom seam. After pressing it, a panel finally appeared.
But at this time, Dr. Beast was dumbfounded, because this thing was not for inputting numbers, and he could not understand the text on it at all.
"This is the language of the old Skrull Empire." Professor X recognized the characters on it and said, "But they don't represent numbers. They are characters in their language. Write down the numbers of the valley and the peak first, and I'll see how to decipher it."
Doctor Beast did as he was told. Professor X spent a long time deciphering the code, then suddenly smiled knowingly and said, "Simple, it's almost the same as the Caesar cipher. Just arrange the numbers in order and push them back four digits. Let me see the answer...'Long Live the Skrulls'."
Professor X instructed Dr. Beast to input the characters, and then heard two beeps. The hibernation chamber did not open, but Professor X noticed the change in brain waves.
"Are you awake?" Professor X asked. Knowing that the subject was a human, he asked in English, but in case he didn't know English, Professor X asked again in Skrull.
"Yes, I'm awake." A rather calm young man's voice sounded, and he said, "Excuse me, what's your name?"
"Charles Xavier, have you ever heard of me?"
"Professor X? I saw you in the newspaper when I was very young. You were still very young at that time."
Professor X immediately judged the era in which he was born, so he said: "I hope you can tell me what is going on, why you went to the Skrull Empire, and why..."
"I didn't go to the Skrull Empire." The young man retorted: "At that time, this country was still called the Skrull Interstellar Republic."
Professor X was silent for a moment. Of course he had heard of this history. At that time, the Skrull Empire upheld the spirit of interstellarism and was the sower of many advanced civilizations today.
However, this country inevitably became corrupted, causing cosmic turmoil and the destruction of many civilizations. People believed that this was just another form of empire, so they called it the "Old Skrull Empire."
"Why did you go there?" Professor X asked.
"It was an accident," the young man replied. "I was born in the slums of New York, but I had good academic performance. One time when I went to borrow a book, I met a professor. Later, I followed him to his laboratory and drank a potion out of curiosity."
"This potion took you to the Skrulls?"
"Of course not. It was the professor who took me there." The young man sighed and said, "That wasn't a potion at all. It was a liquid energy source he invented. It contained the power of millions of stars. After I drank it, I couldn't control such power at all. In order to save me, he took me to the Skrull Republic."
"Isn't that professor from Earth?"
"I don't know much about it. I only know that he was the initiator of the revolution that founded the Skrull Republic."
Professor X's breath hitched.
Of course he had heard of the founding revolution of the Skrull Republic, a revolution that overthrew the earlier aristocratic rule of this civilization. There were several different versions of the initiators of the revolution, but there was no doubt that they were all Skrulls. How could a Skrull revolutionary come to Earth and become a professor?
"And then? Did he experiment on you?"
"No, I haven't." The young man said, "You could say I have, but not to get any results from the experiment, but to solve my problem."
"You can't control your power?"
"That's right. The power in my body is too strong for a human to control. Once I lose control, it will be like millions of stars exploding at the same time."
Professor X took a breath, this was no joke, the nuclear bombs of the three empires were almost like this.
So there is a human-shaped nuclear bomb in front of us?
Professor X suddenly felt that it was a bit too risky to get the hibernation capsule back.
"Oh, don't worry." The young man said, "Now I can control my power, the problem is almost solved."
Professor X was not relieved. He just asked curiously, "Is the problem solved? How was it solved?"
"I don't know, that professor did it, but I can definitely control the power in my body now."
"Then why are you still lying here?"
"Because new problems have arisen." The young man's voice revealed helplessness.
"what is the problem?"
“I’m cracked.”
"what?"
"My personality has been split apart, and it has never been sewn back together. The other half of my personality is now out of my control. He is extremely evil. If he controls my body, it could cause a disaster."
Professor X now had some idea of why Schiller had to make him pay attention to this life fusion plan.
He knew that he couldn't believe a single word said on the emergency call. If he had known the patient was in this condition, he would definitely not have answered the call.
But since the call had already been answered, there was nothing that could be done. Professor X said as patiently as he could: "I don't sense any problem with your personality."
"That's the problem. Because my other half is 'nothingness', you have no way of detecting him."
"Have you ever been controlled by him?"
"Yes, and it nearly sparked the fall of the Skrull Republic."
Professor X was shocked. There were many triggers for the demise of the Skrull Republic, but the most famous one was the huge explosion in an advanced energy research laboratory near the second most prosperous galaxy in the country.
This massive explosion almost flattened the entire galaxy, which could almost be called the deputy capital of the Republic, and the energy radiation in it has not been completely eliminated to this day.
The Kree Empire and the Shi'ar Empire also took advantage of this disaster to pursue the Skrull Republic relentlessly on the border and in the public opinion field, laying the final shovel of soil for the demise of this short-lived republic.
To this day, that explosion remains the most serious experimental accident in the history of the universe.
"You caused the Big Bang?" Professor X asked.
"Yes, everyone thought I had it under control at the time, but I didn't expect the void to appear at that time, so..."
Professor X sighed, and then he said, "So you haven't solved the problem of nothingness yet?"
"Yes, but I think it's not an accident that I'm here. Do you have any way to solve this problem?"
The words "it's not an accident" reminded Professor X that Schiller told him about the Life Fusion Plan just to let him investigate. Now that the investigation has come to this conclusion, how could it not be intentional?
But how did Schiller know about this young man? Lyra had no such thoughts.
"Do you know Schiller?" Professor X asked.
"No, I haven't heard of that name, what's the matter?"
"What was the name of the professor who took you away?"
"Anatoly Shostakov."
"Wait a minute." Professor X, who lived through that era, immediately noticed that the name was wrong. He said, "Are you sure he's a Skrull, not a Soviet?"
"I never said he was a Skrull, in fact he fits my impression of a Soviet person better."
"Shostakov..." Professor X kept repeating the last name. He felt that it sounded familiar. Then he said as if he had suddenly realized something: "Natasha's first wife's last name was Shostakov, right? Alexei Shostakov?"
But Professor X thought about it and said, "This seems to be a very common Russian surname. Do you remember what the professor looked like?"
"He was very tall and kind, and I remember his eyes were blue."
Professor X breathed a sigh of relief, Natasha's original eyes were not blue, he had just seen them.
However, the same last name means that they may be from the same country, but how could a Soviet have a laboratory in the United States and pick up a New York child to go to the Skrull Empire?
Professor X suddenly thought of the potion, and asked again: "You said that the potion condensed the power of millions of stars. Do you know what the potion he studied is used for?"
The young man was silent for a while, then said, "I asked him out of curiosity, but he didn't answer. He only told me that it was a kind of energy."
"Energy? What does it drive?" Professor X thought, "What needs the power of millions of stars to drive it?"
"Maybe it's a weapon, I guess." said the young man.
"But the power of millions of stars is a weapon in itself. Didn't you flatten the entire galaxy when you lost control? If you can maintain this level of strength, the other two empires will definitely be unable to sleep or eat in peace."
Professor X was thinking as he spoke. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He said, "Maybe he doesn't want to cause large-scale destruction, but to drive something more precise and controllable."
