Multiverse of Marvel - Chapter 537: Agreement
Chapter 537: Agreement
Finally those words raised the eyebrows of John when Erik said that. He could see that Erik felt extremely ashamed when he said this. And he could also feel that Charles was using telepathy to stop Erik from making any dangerous moves.
John could easily feel the anger when Erik said that. If Erik was with his helmet, then maybe he would have already attacked John. John made him speak out his deepest fears, and being a leader of his group he would never admit this in front of anyone. He would rather choose death than submission.
“Now I am interested!! Tell me more.”
Erik and Charles were silent when John said that. They weren’t sure if John was mocking them or being serious when he said those words.
“Sentinels were made from the DNA of Raven and let these robots adapt to mutant powers and use their own powers against us. We have been losing this war ever since.” Charles said in a very sad tone. Raven was very dear to him and now her DNA was used a weapon against them
“Bolivar Trask was killed by Mystique.” John said as he finally knew from which Earth they were from. The Earth where all of this started for marvel. The X-men arc. The movies which made marvel mutants famous in his previous life.
The place where his craze for marvel and DC started for him.
“You know about that? Did this happen in other places too.” Both Erik and Charles were surprised that John was able to get to the main point with just the hint that the Sentinels had the DNA of Raven.
“No, this is unique to your world. I know the whole story.” John said as he smiled at them
“How do you know about us? Like you have some kind of prophetic vision or something?” Chavez couldn’t help but ask. The moment he appeared, it felt like they were in a class and he was the teacher. It was overwhelming for them.
And for some reason the trio couldn’t even counter-ask or retaliate against him. It was as if he had an unique charm that made people listen to him and answer his question. This was true for the fact that John had the powers of Gilgamesh and being a God with the help of Phoenix was always overwhelming for many people.
“You can say that. As I said, my knowledge comes from many things. If you don’t trust me, ask Peter here.” John said, pointing at Andrew.
“Yeah… Ummm… he does know quite a lot… ” Andrew said as he too knew John had this immense knowledge of different worlds and different stories. Last time when he met them, he too was dumbfounded by the sheer knowledge he had from just small hints.
And this time too it seemed like he knew their story.
“So what do you want to do about the Sentinels? Before going to face Annihilus you should clear your own backyard. Don’t you think so?” John said.
“We wish too. But we are helpless.” Erik said.
“Hmm. I will help you get rid of the Sentinels and the problems. Then we can look at Annihilus.” John said. He really wanted to help them. Though he might not agree with Charles on many things, the mutants shouldn’t suffer as a whole.
He had seen the same trend on Earth 616 and in their world too had the same problem. Persecution of minority. And John would fix this in his own way.
“Will you seriously help us?” Erik was surprised and asked.
“Yeah I will. Your world would go to shit if I don’t interfere now.” John said.
Erik looked happy when John said that. Though he wasn’t sure how powerful John was, at least he said he had a team and even Peter here had mentioned they had a team. A team which is not made of mutants would be of great help in stopping the sentinels.
The sentinels were the kryptonite for mutants but for people who are normal, for them it would be a totally different story. Charles on the other hand didn’t know what to say. He could already feel from the tone of John that his ‘handling’ of the situation would definitely not be a peaceful one.
He just hoped there wouldn’t be more damage to the relationship between mutants and humans. It has already fractured a lot. He didn’t want it to go beyond redemption.
Chavez didn’t care about the problem of mutants. All she cared now was for revenge.
“So let’s go to your world. Let me handle the Sentinels for you. After that we can discuss Annihilus.” John said.
“Don’t we need backup if you are going to face the sentinels. I don’t know how magic works, but I think you should call for your team.” Erik said. He was excited in his heart but he knew that handling Sentinels would need enough man power.
