This was probably the most horrific thing he had ever seen. Even Jean's Phoenix Force powers were not as horrific as this one. He has no idea of what his powers are but the sheer presence of him was enough to drop the temperature of the room to below the freezing point.
"We need to get out of here. We aren't safe. If it is Knull, the outcome is already the worst."
Tony said with a grave face. He thought they would win a huge one after this battle but it seemed like the real battle hadn't even started.
"I will break the talisman in the next 3 hours and urge the other mutants to travel to the cities fast." Charles said as he too understood that their world wasn't exactly safe. This time John sent them back up because he had his mind separated in looking for Annihilus. But now he is dead.
All he needed to do was concentrate on Knull for now. Annihilus didn't matter any more. His army would be a headache but at least John wouldn't have to go and search for him.
"Barry, are all things taken care of?" Victor asked. They needed to finish everything here fast before they left.
"All done. All we need to do now is leave."
Barry, who always jokes, could understand the gravity of the situation.
Surprisingly, the US military or the President didn't show up to the school to meet Tony and Victor. Probably because they were too scared of them. At first the mutants themselves were a threat. Especially now when the mutants of the Brotherhood were present at the school.
Though the current President didn't have blood of the mutants in his hands, he was still guilty of having knowledge of the various problems with the Sentinel Program and thus he too would be held guilty. He didn't want to die just because he was extremely curious of the 'alien' humans.
Charles had gone to Cerebro to spread awareness of the grave situation that they were in and that they needed to move fast. Not that they weren't already doing so!!
In this way the next 3 hours went by without any kind of weird incident or an attack from the negative zone. They thought Knull would send his army of bugs and maybe symbiotes. But miraculously, nobody came. And even the wormhole that was created on Mars closed in on itself.
"Did Knull have a change of heart or something?" Victor said after seeing that the wormhole just closed.
"What is he thinking? Opening a wormhole right over Earth?"
"Maybe he will just give up and concentrate on 616 now. He has a huge army. Almost double of what we were supposed to control. If he goes on sending troops here it might be a loss for his assault over 616."
Those words came from Professor X.
Victor, Tony, Barry and Pietro were all looking at Professor with a weird look.
"Got to hand it to you Professor. Without even going to 616 you came to this conclusion and from the looks of it, it seems that you are probably correct."
Charles felt a little shy hearing such praise from Victor. He had heard a lot about 616 when Knull was discussed last time. He could understand that 616 was very important in all of their multiverse and all these years of them living under the threat of humans made many of them being half 'detectives'.
"If it's only 616 then it's not a problem. I am happy to tackle him in one universe instead of fighting him on different fronts. We won't even know what would be going on in a different universe while fighting each other." Tony said.
"Leave that thought for now. Professor, I think you should open the portals now. It's time."
Charles nodded his head and broke the talisman with hand after bringing it out. His hands were shaking when he broke it. Breaking of this talisman meant that they were officially no longer citizens of Earth but of a moon.
A new place where there would be more dangers but there would be freedom. Those who are deprived know what is the price of freedom. He was excited but a little apprehensive too. The first enemy in itself was a huge one that they were going to face. Though the Avengers never asked for their help but since they were in another world and living free of cost, the least they could do was provide the 'rent' money.
As the talisman broke huge portals started opening in famous places in all major cities. The mutants were already given directions on where to be present. When John came last time he had already marked the places where the portals needed to be opened. The mutants in almost all of the places were ready with all of their luggage and belongings to go to the other side. The aliens had given all of them a scare and they didn't want to see Earth being the battlefield of an intergalactic war.
