Heroes of Marvel

Chapter 1139: All Parties Assemble

Two minutes later, amidst Peter’s stunned expression, Lin Rui quickly completed three phone calls. Apart from contacting Tony to immediately initiate the ready-to-go Aerospace Fighter Jet, Lin Rui also reached out to Professor Charles to seek assistance from the X-Men.

He then got in touch with Captain America, asking him to prepare the Magic Cube. The final call was to Jack, urging him to come over immediately.

“Jackson… do we really have an Aerospace Fighter Jet? The kind that can perform interstellar travel in space, often referred to as a Spaceship?” Seeing Lin Rui finally finish his calls and pause, Peter couldn’t help but ask in disbelief.

“Yes, we indeed have an Aerospace Fighter Jet, a Spaceship. But it was all in the secretive construction phase before this. If Star-Lord hadn’t sent out a distress call, I might not have even remembered it. Luckily, Tony and the others managed to complete one in less than a year. Otherwise, we would have been truly helpless this time.” Responding to Peter’s question, Lin Rui explained quickly.

“This… it’s truly astonishing!” Although Peter had witnessed the power of extraterrestrial civilizations and had seen the formidable Spaceships of the Dark Elves, hearing that Earth had its own Spaceship, one he could personally interact with, left Peter genuinely amazed.

Humming!

Just as Lin Rui and Peter finished these exchanges, a surge of magical energy fluctuation appeared before them. Soon after, a Magical Portal materialized, and Jack emerged from it.

Summoned by Lin Rui, Jack wasted no time, immediately opening a new Magical Portal. This time, the Portal led directly to the SHIELD Headquarters in Washington.

Without hesitation, Lin Rui and Peter swiftly donned their respective hero suits and stepped into the Magical Portal before them.

Whoosh…

After the golden light in the alley vanished, Lin Rui and the others disappeared from sight.

…

Simultaneously, at the Xavier Academy, Professor Charles, accompanied by a few elite X-Men members, walked into the Silver Portal opened by Blink. This time, the group accompanying Charles was smaller.

Aside from Blink, Iceman, and Beast (Hank), there was also an unfamiliar African-American man. Meanwhile, Storm, Colossus, Shadowcat, and the main X-Men members stood in the underground base’s corridor, watching as Charles and his team departed.

Having been briefed by Lin Rui about the unique circumstances of this event, Storm, Colossus, and Shadowcat understood that their abilities wouldn’t be as effective in the cosmic environment. Thus, they chose to remain at the academy to guard it.

The situation that Lin Rui had explained to Charles had garnered significant attention. This marked the X-Men’s first appearance since the Dark Elves invaded Earth, and they felt the need to showcase their growth to other allies.

Interestingly, the X-Men members had yet to unleash their powers in the cosmic environment. Perhaps this time, they would experience something different.

Sigh…

After the last African-American man entered the Silver Portal, the silver gate rapidly shrank before disappearing, and the sliced-open space returned to its original state. As they watched the disappearing figures, Storm, Shadowcat, and the others standing in place had complex expressions.

“Kitty, can you imagine that one day, we’ll be able to break free from Earth and venture into space?” Turning her gaze away from the now-empty passage, Storm looked to her side at Shadowcat, her voice tinged with curiosity.

“What’s happening now isn’t just imagination; it’s reality! Perhaps, the true potential for us Mutants lies not on Earth, but in the vast universe.” Upon hearing Storm’s question, Hank’s eyes shimmered with a unique light as he excitedly responded.

“Yes!”

Storm and Shadowcat were well aware that even if they did their best and even if Professor Charles led all Mutants on Earth, the divide between them and ordinary humans would still exist.

After all, human nature was inherently that way. Mutants with stable genes were already a natural evolution of ordinary humans, yet their form of evolution wasn’t widely accepted by most.

However, in the grand scope of the universe, Mutants would be free from the various limitations they faced on Earth.

Because of their diverse and powerful abilities, when they left Earth to interact with other civilizations in the cosmos, Mutants could showcase the advantages of their evolutionary traits. Perhaps, at that point, the attitudes of ordinary people on Earth towards Mutants might change.

“I hope Professor Charles and his team return safely.”

“They definitely will! If we weren’t required to guard the academy, I’d really want to see how that completed Spaceship looks now.”

Although the X-Men had contributed to the construction of the E Grade Aerospace Fighter Jet, they weren’t as involved as Tony and SHIELD throughout the process. Therefore, they remained unaware of the final product’s appearance.

“I wonder where Phantom Knight obtained the Spaceship design blueprint. Do you think… he’s had connections with extraterrestrial civilizations for a long time?”

“That… could be possible.”

…

Washington, in the underground research facility of the SHIELD headquarters, Captain Rogers was overseeing the retrieval of the Magic Cube. Lin Rui had just explained the situation, so Rogers naturally cooperated. Moreover, the Magic Cube was a shared asset within their alliance, so it was reasonable for Lin Rui to use it.

Humming~

Just as Rogers had retrieved the Magic Cube, a golden Magical Portal appeared behind him. Following that, Lin Rui and the others stepped out quickly. With a gesture from Rogers, the surrounding SHIELD special forces personnel remained in place.

However, their eyes behind tactical goggles revealed surprise at Lin Rui and the team’s peculiar entrance.

“Phantom Knight, here you go.” As Lin Rui approached, Rogers handed over a square metal case containing the Space Infinity Stone, the Magic Cube.

“Yes, thank you, Captain Rogers. Is everything prepared on your end? This mission requires the most elite warriors, and you know the specifics.” Receiving the Magic Cube, Lin Rui looked at Rogers with a serious tone.

“We’re all set. We’ve had a team familiarize themselves with the operation of various instruments within the aerospace warship since its construction began. They’ve also run simulations many times, so conducting real combat now won’t be an issue.” Upon hearing Lin Rui’s inquiry, Rogers responded with equal seriousness.

“Then… let’s set out!”
