"Alright, Little Gwen, Little-Little Gwen, stop chatting. Someone's angry now. I think the fun in this trip is starting to ramp up, and we won't be going back anytime soon."
At this moment, Main Universe Gwen stopped the two from continuing their banter and gestured for them to look toward where the initial explosion occurred.
Amid the gunsmoke, Ryan stepped out without any flashy flair, walking forward step by step.
It was as if he was taking a casual stroll in the park.
And in the mid-air behind him were four figures wrapped in terrifying crimson energy, along with a fiery red figure and an icy blue figure.
"It seems this Universe isn't very friendly to superhumans..."
Ryan's tone was calm, seemingly not as angry as Gwen had suggested.
But Jean behind him subconsciously shivered, sensing a feeling of danger from Ryan that almost stung her skin.
Jean swallowed hard and said embarrassedly, "This is actually my fault too. A few years ago, I lost control and killed the Professor and the others, disrupting the balance of the Mutant World and letting Magneto's Brotherhood become the sole dominant force."
"So humanity felt threatened by Mutants and created sentinel robots to deal with us, starting to hunt down us Mutants all over the World..."
"Is that so?" Ryan glanced sideways at Jean and shook his head slightly. "I wouldn't be so sure..."
"If the destruction of X-Academy caused by your loss of control was the only reason Mutants lost their balance of good and evil, leading humanity to start researching sentinel robots targeting Mutants, then sentinel robots could never have appeared so quickly. Research starting from scratch isn't that fast..."
Jean froze. "What do you mean?"
Ryan said indifferently, "The humans of this World have likely long since begun making plans against Mutants. They were prepared to fight to the death with Mutants from the very beginning."
"Th-this... how is that possible? When Charles was around, high-ranking humans and X-Academy clearly had a cooperative relationship, and the Professor often led the X-Men to help humanity..." Jean found it unbelievable.
"You don't believe it?" Ryan chuckled and suddenly pointed to the sky. "Here, the evidence is coming~"
Jean looked in the direction Ryan pointed and saw a large transport plane flying toward them.
Furthermore, the transport plane's bottom hatch had opened, and silver figures nearly three meters tall were being dropped from the aircraft.
"What's that?" Jean asked in confusion.
Ryan casually replied, "sentinel robots, and a new model at that. Unless I'm mistaken, they possess the abilities of at least a hundred different Mutants and even feature an evolutionary function to absorb different Mutant powers."
"A new model of sentinel robots? How come I've never heard of it? And how do you know?" Jean grew even more bewildered.
"I've seen them, though not in this Universe, but in an even more hopeless future Mutant Universe. Over there, the entire World is full of these sentinel robots, and their hunting targets are no longer just threatening Mutants, but all humans with the X-gene. Even if the X-gene in your body hasn't been awakened, you're still their target!"
Having said that, Ryan didn't wait for the stunned Jean to respond and walked forward by himself.
"I'll leave this to you. I'm going to settle a personal grudge..."
With those words, Ryan lightly stomped his foot on the ground, launching himself forward like a cannonball and shattering a type-2 sentinel robot into powder along the way!
This newly deployed type-2 sentinel robot was scrapped instantly before it could even use its survival-of-the-fittest adaptation or self-repair abilities!
Because of this, the squad of ten type-2 sentinel robots was reduced to nine.
Conveniently matching the remaining nine people, including Gwen and Wanda.
Next up: The Monarch Girlfriend Squad vs. The type-2 sentinel robot Squad!
But at this moment, the camera was not on Gwen's group of nine, but somewhere else.
Inside the military Base, Stryker was roaring.
"Where is that guy?! I'm asking you, where is the guy who just smashed the type-2 sentinel robot?!"
Fear revealed itself in Stryker's eyes, something he hadn't felt in a very long time.
According to his estimations, a single unit of the new type-2 sentinel robot was close to Alpha-level strength!
If an entire squad attacked together, even against an Omega-level Mutant, they should still be able to hold out for a while!
Then he could take the opportunity to launch a nuclear strike.
But under that silver afterimage just now, the type-2 sentinel robot couldn't even take a single hit!
Did that make any sense?
"I... I don't know, sir. Our satellite can't capture his speed at all. It's like he vanished instantly..."
Hearing the soldier's words, Stryker's face darkened even further.
Moreover, a very bad premonition arose in his heart.
And Stryker had always trusted his danger premonitions implicitly.
Relying on this premonition, he had escaped Wolverine's adamantium claws multiple times.
"Keep monitoring the Sentinel battlefield and the person who just disappeared. Inform me immediately if there's any news. I... I'll be right back..."
Saying that, Stryker turned around and walked briskly toward the door, preparing to slip away.
But...
Stryker's lucky premonition had run out today.
BOOM————————
Before he could even reach the door, the blast-proof ceiling capable of withstanding missile explosions blew open with a giant hole, and a tall figure dropped straight down!
WHOOSH————————
Just the shockwave generated by that figure landing sent Stryker, who was walking forward, flying backward into the control panel!
The other soldiers in the control room were also thrown off their feet by the shockwave.
A beam of sunlight shone through the large hole in the ceiling, landing right on the tall figure standing in the center of the rising dust.
"Who threw a firecracker at me just now?"
A voice sounded from within the beam of light in the dust.
"Wh-who are you?"
A female officer asked in terror.
SWOOSH————SPLAT!
In the next second, a bladed tentacle shot out, instantly impaling the abdomen of the woman who asked.
Then the blade slashed upward, slicing her cleanly in half!
"Wrong answer."
Ryan slowly walked out of the dust, still holding the bloody Symbiote blade in his hand.
"Why did you attack me with a missile?"
Ryan asked again.
"Do you know what you're doing? You are making an enemy of the entire America!" Stryker looked at the tall figure blocking the main door, knowing that escaping was now impossible, so he could only try to threaten him.
In the past, when dealing with most Mutants, invoking the name of America—the overlord of the Earth—had proven quite effective.
After all, even Mutants didn't want to face a full-scale wanted notice from the World's strongest nation.
But would Ryan be afraid?
Not to mention that this wasn't even his Universe's Earth—even back in his Universe's Earth, whatever he said was law, and even President Kingpin had to obey him, let alone consider making an enemy of him.
"Pity. Wrong answer again."
Ryan shook his head regretfully, lifted his foot slightly, and then tapped it down gently.
Tap————
A crisp footstep echoed, followed by sharp silver-gray spikes bursting out from the ground, precisely piercing through every grunt from below and impaling them all in mid-air.
In the end, only Stryker was left, his face trembling with sheer terror.
"Just looking at your face fucking disgusts me!"
Ryan looked at Stryker with pure disgust in his eyes, raised the blade in his hand, and brought it down without a moment's hesitation.
SLASH——————
Ryan retracted his Symbiote blade, while a thin line of blood ran from Stryker's forehead all the way down, and finally he split into two halves that separated to the left and right—escaping!
Truly a sly Stryker!
"Actually, I've always been pretty curious... what would America end up looking like without military protection?"
The Monarch is curious; the Monarch takes action!
