[Killed Abnormal Target: Mastermind. Gained 1500 Anomaly Points. Current Anomaly Points: 1600 / 5000]
Luke glanced at the notification, then looked at Anna and the other two, who had just recovered from the illusion.
"Luke?!"
Anna stared blankly at the large pillar in front of her for a moment, then turned around. Seeing Luke, she bit her lip and whispered, "Come... come on! Since you insisted, I... I can't stop you, right?"
"Ahem!"
Luke coughed twice, ignoring Anna's bold statement, and spoke softly. "That was an illusion created by your own desires."
However, it would have been better if he hadn't spoken. The moment he did, not only Anna but also Clarice and Kitty blushed.
They lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Especially Clarice, who seemed to have a special constitution; a reddish-purple flush spread across her entire neck as she lowered her head, not daring to look at Luke.
"Your illusion just now... it couldn't all have been..."
"Ah, well, I still need to continue scouting the situation. I'm leaving first."
Clarice hurriedly opened a portal. Shadowcat Kitty also stammered, "Me too. I'm... I'm leaving first."
Anna blinked but did not leave.
She stared blankly at Jean, her expression clearly asking: Are you leaving? We're about to get down to business.
Jean shook her head helplessly and flicked Anna lightly on the forehead.
"Snap out of it. This is reality."
"Reality?"
Anna shook her head repeatedly, looking tenderly at Luke, and whispered, "No, I've been in reality all along."
Jean sighed lightly. Sure enough, you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.
Jean glared at Luke.
Luke spread his hands, indicating: I didn't do anything!
He had only squeezed her little hand twice, yet Anna had ended up clinging to him.
At this moment, Luke realized why Mastermind could create illusions for multiple individuals simultaneously.
It turned out he had simply created one illusion of Luke and managed to catch Rogue and her lackies in one fell swoop.
Their weakness was too obvious—and it was even the same weakness.
Although Luke was only their temporary teacher, the highly ethical Luke decided that he needed to conduct specialized training later to address the girls' weaknesses.
The ancients knew that guiding was better than blocking. By guiding them more, he believed they would be able to ignore super-powered individuals like Mastermind next time.
Perhaps this process would take a long time and consume a lot of physical strength, but Luke felt duty-bound and indispensable!
"Alright, you follow us now."
Luke waved for Anna to come over.
Anna's ability was actually quite powerful. It allowed her to quickly absorb the abilities and life force of others to restore herself, and temporarily replicate others' superpowers.
If used appropriately, she could play a huge—even decisive—role in combat.
The famous Sentinel robots were actually based primarily on Mystique and Rogue, enabling them to arbitrarily replicate others' abilities, adapt specifically based on the opponent's power, and use counteracting attributes to kill the opponent.
But when she was alone, her strength was even inferior to that of an ordinary person. A single bullet could take her down.
Hearing this, Anna giggled like a lovesick woman. She quickly took off her gloves and tightly grabbed Luke's hand.
When Jean wasn't looking, Luke felt Anna constantly rubbing, kneading, and squeezing his hand, then secretly scratching his palm.
Luke firmly grabbed Anna's soft, boneless little hand to stop her from moving around.
But since Anna rarely got to have skin contact with others, how could she behave herself? Soon she stopped caring whether Jean noticed and directly used her other hand to grope around.
Jean stared straight ahead and took a deep breath.
As a telepath, she could "see" everything around her without needing her eyes.
I must endure! Anna is my student... I can't hit her. After all, she's still a child!
But then again, what kind of child would cuckold her teacher right in front of her and grope her man?
Thinking of Anna's past experiences, Jean softened again, and emotion won out.
Never mind, never mind. Letting her touch him won't hurt. The poor child hasn't even held a man's hand before; she must be terribly repressed.
Perhaps sensing Jean's mindset, and seeing that Luke wasn't resisting much, Anna became even more excited. Her smile grew increasingly twisted and satisfied.
Her other hand grew dissatisfied with just holding his and began moving in other directions.
"..."
Luke and Jean exchanged glances, communicating telepathically with perfect understanding.
Is this your student? Aren't you going to control her as her teacher?
She's a child who has been terribly repressed, so should we just tolerate it?
Where is Dark Phoenix? What is she doing?
She...
I'm eating popcorn and watching the show. So exciting! Cuckolding right in front of her! Oh, I can't take it, I feel like I'm burning up!
Shut up! She's talking in her sleep; don't take it seriously.
What else could Luke do? Since both Jean and Dark Phoenix didn't care, what was the big deal if a real man suffered a little loss and grievance?
Luke didn't mind taking this kind of loss.
Anna's actions became increasingly excessive. If not for the heavy surveillance and outsiders present, she probably would have reached out and grabbed his dick directly.
...
In the main control room, William Stryker was going crazy.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! I'm going to kill them! I must kill these bastards!"
William Stryker had watched helplessly as Lady Deathstrike disappeared and Mastermind merged indistinguishably with the earth.
He had also watched helplessly as Anna and Luke played their little intimacy game, completely ignoring everyone around them.
He had never seen anyone so arrogant!
"Initiate the self-destruct sequence! Set the timer to three minutes and package all the data to take with us!"
The frantic William Stryker didn't care that many of his subordinates were still inside the dam, nor did he plan to notify them. He turned and left immediately.
As long as they could hold up these mutants, his subordinates would have died for a worthy cause.
The only thing that pained William Stryker was the death of his son, Mastermind.
He wasn't grieving because his son had died, but because he could no longer extract cerebrospinal fluid from his brain.
Without the cerebrospinal fluid and Mastermind, he couldn't kidnap Charles and use Cerebro to wipe out all the mutants in the world in one go.
The lair he had painstakingly built over decades was ruined just like that.
Thinking of this, William Stryker hated mutants even more.
"Hmph, it seems I'll have to agree to those guys later. But as long as I can kill the mutants, I won't hesitate—even if it means sinking into the dark."
William Stryker took out a card engraved with a skull and octopus, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.
However, just as he opened the door, the entire dam's power suddenly cut out, plunging the world into darkness.
Even the self-destruct sequence could no longer be initiated.
A nearby soldier turned on a flashlight. In the beam of light, William Stryker's face looked even uglier. "Damn it, ignore them! Let's go!"
As Stryker and his group rounded the corner, they saw X-Force Squad Two, led by Luke.
Stryker's expression changed drastically. He turned and ran without looking back. "Stop them!"
These soldiers had clearly undergone rigorous military training. Even though they knew the massive gap in strength between themselves and the enemy, they still raised their guns and fired without hesitation.
In fact, most of these soldiers had been brainwashed by Stryker, or they already harbored deep grudges against mutants.
After being gathered by William Stryker, they had guarded the dam day after day, year after year.
Of course, they had also hoped the mutants wouldn't go on a killing spree.
But this time, they had encountered Luke.
"Leave none alive!"
Jean raised a telekinetic barrier, stopping all the bullets.
John and Iceman once again released a combined attack, blasting all the soldiers in front of them with a loud boom.
Colossus charged forward like a wild ox, enduring every attack. He smashed through the mist, quickly caught up to William Stryker, pinned him to the ground, pressed a knee against his back, and held him down firmly.
"Fuck!"
"You demons! I am a U.S. Colonel! If you have the guts, kill me! You'll be wanted globally!"
Even though William Stryker was restrained, he still cursed arrogantly.
"Colossus, what did I just say?"
Luke walked over coldly, his voice devoid of emotion.
Colossus hesitated for a moment. "But he is, after all..."
"Are you planning to wait for the law to punish him?" Luke sneered.
"Uh..."
Pyro stepped forward, flicked his lighter, and controlled the flames to envelop William Stryker along with Colossus.
"Arrrrrrrrrrr! Stop!!!!! I.. Arrrggghhhh!!!"
Colossus wasn't afraid of this temperature, but Stryker was a different story.
Controlled and burned by the flames once again, William Stryker howled in pain and begged for mercy.
Colossus quickly let him go. "John?"
Pyro raised his head. "Teacher Luke said to leave none alive!"
Colossus fell silent, then looked at Iceman Bobby.
Pyro stepped forward and blocked Bobby.
Bobby hesitated for a moment, ultimately choosing not to release cold air to save William Stryker.
Once William stopped moving completely,
Luke nodded to John, then led the way deeper into the dam.
John was very happy after receiving the approval. Flames danced in his palm as he actively enlarged the fire to illuminate the area.
