Chapter 889 Brilliant Stars (34)_3

"Oh, that, that's Professor Charles, isn't that his trademark ability?" Shiller shrugged and said, "Didn't I already tell you all? I said that I could brainwash all of humanity, it was just to scare them. The one who truly possesses this ability is Professor Charles, not me."

Stark furrowed his brow. He had just finished listening to Nick's explanation about his and Shiller's interconnected plans, but what he didn't expect was that this plan was even more absurd than he thought.

"You're saying, you set up many traps and killed all the heroes in New York who had the ability to hold you in check. Then you pretended that you were very angry about these superheroes getting killed, and rushed to New York."

"Those people really thought that the superheroes getting killed was their failure, and also believed that you have the ability to brainwash the world. So, they had to seek help from another person with the ability to brainwash the world, that is, Professor X."

"When they sought help from Professor X, they discovered that the mutants had better options, and could no longer accept their demands as before."

"At this point, you used the Molten Steel threat by the Mutant Brotherhood, drew out the true enemy lurking on Earth, and created a tense atmosphere, causing them to be anxious about the zero-sum game."

"And Professor X, because this plan could elevate the importance of mutants, agreed to cooperate with this scheme, and actually issued warnings to everyone using his Psy-storm ability…"

"And the people who received the warning, because of fear, had no choice but to seek more help from Professor X, accept his lion's share of the conditions, and because mutants could benefit greatly, Professor X…"

Stark covered his forehead and said: "This is all just one giant scam set up by you!"

But Shiller seemed somewhat confused, "What scam? I was just laying some groundwork. The real scam... I mean, the real plan hasn't even started yet."

Stark narrowed his eyes, looking at him and said: "You said that before, don't tell me, this isn't the real issue."

"Of course not." Shiller sneered: "The mutants are just a small target, what comes next is the main course."

With that, he closed the portal, his figure vanished in the office. At this time, in the office where General Davis was located, Charles's voice came from the telephone receiver:

"I accept your conditions. I have opened the portal and will return to Earth shortly... Oh, Jesus, why are the brainwaves here…"

Everyone stared nervously at the phone, but then Charles's serious voice came through, "I have some bad news for you. I can only hold him back, I cannot defeat him. If we confront each other directly, all the people in New York will be shaken into idiots…"

"How long can you hold him back?" General Davis asked immediately.

"At most, three days."

Charles replied with only one sentence, then hung up the phone. A general standing next to him angrily pounded the wall, "That liar! He clearly said…"

"Now is not the time to discuss this! We must find a solution within three days, otherwise, he will destroy all of New York!"

The general took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly. At this point, another agent stepped forward. He was dressed in a S.H.I.E.L.D Field Agent uniform and saluted, saying:

"Report! General, we found a secret plan in S.H.I.E.L.D's legacy. The secrecy level is 10 and only Nick Fury knew about it. The plan is named Tahiti."

"Who sent you here?! Is this the time to report on these things?!" General Ross said angrily, but the general next to him stopped him. He looked at the agent and asked: "What is so special about this plan that made you come here to report it?"

The agent stood straight and said:

"General, the ultimate goal of the Tahiti plan is to resurrect humanity."
