At this moment, inside the secret meeting room of the World Security Council, a larger screen surrounded the semi-circular seats, and the images on it were somewhat strange. In the center of the screen was a huge fireball, and it was obvious that the image had undergone some special processing to reveal the true face of the star.

If you look closely, there is a small black dot in the upper right corner of the star, which is the Kree planetary warship. Although the planetary warship is as large as a whole planet, it is still insignificant compared to the huge star. At this moment, the Kree planetary warship was squatting next to the Sun, sucking its energy.

Due to the huge difference in size, this scene was more like a mosquito sucking on a coconut. When the entire screen was filled with the image of the star, the Kree planetary warship had become so small that it was almost invisible. If it weren't for a red frame specially marking its position, the dignitaries on the seats would not have been able to see the existence of the warship.

Previously, they had seen a close-up of this planetary warship, and in that picture, the planetary warship appeared incredibly huge, terrifying, and oppressive. However, compared to the natural wonders of space, it was still very small. Although this no longer brought such a strong sense of oppression to the audience, it brought them a deeper sense of despair. Even if a civilization was as advanced as the Kree, compared to the burning star, it was still as small as a grain of sand. This was the current situation of the interstellar society, and no matter how powerful a civilization was, it would eventually be destroyed in space disasters.

But now, humanity couldn't even be considered a grain of sand. Even a slightly stronger sea breeze could extinguish the fire of civilization. At this moment, although everyone's thoughts were different and no one's position was completely consistent, they all had to temporarily put themselves in the perspective of human civilization to consider the problem. Because if they were to distinguish between countries and forces at this time, they would be even weaker and on the verge of collapse.

When the game map was still limited to Earth, the struggle between countries and forces was thrilling. But when the territory was expanded to the entire space, no one cared about what happened on a small star. Many of the representatives' eyes glanced at S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury and SPEAR Director Zheng Xian. It could be foreseen that these two departments would gain greater power in the future.

Just as they were thinking about the future direction of development, another red frame suddenly appeared on the screen, but it seemed like there was nothing inside. At this point, the director seemed to have noticed that it was an invalid reminder, so he had to zoom in on the screen. In the endless flames of the star, a small black dot kept getting bigger.

The camera zoomed in infinitely until it focused on his face. Suddenly, there was a fierce discussion in the meeting room because the central figure in the picture was a face that no one wanted to see - Magneto.

His expression was still very indifferent, with his mouth and eyebrows like two underlines. He pursed his lips and said nothing, but lowered his head slightly and dusted off his gloves. The particles of the Sun surrounded him, but could not touch his clothes. In the endless flames of the star, his black cloak fluttered in the wind like a praying mantis or a cicada shaking a tree. This scene shocked everyone present.

Magneto slowly closed his eyes, then opened his arms and floated up. He then fell down, almost completely merging into the Sun. The particles began to vibrate continuously, and the flames of the storm became stronger. In a short moment, all the flames on the Sun condensed. The image on the screen seemed to suddenly pause, and if it weren't for the Kree warship still slowly rotating in the distance, the audience would have thought that there was a problem with the broadcast.

But the signal was not cut off, and everything was really happening. In that instant, the Sun stopped, and all the flames, particles, storms, and energy stopped. An invisible position froze the Sun and began to collapse inward, and the magnetic field tightened more and more. The entire star was like being held by an invisible hand.

"This seems different from what we expected?" Nick squinted in the S.H.I.E.L.D. office and said, "Shouldn't the supernova explosion process start from the center?"

Stark shook his head and said, "Do you know why a bomb needs a shell? It's not just for storing gunpowder, but also to enhance the power of the bomb."

With Stark's description, a more intuitive change began. The particles on the surface of the Sun began to gradually disperse, and the entire sphere became larger and larger, seeming to be aging rapidly. The Kree planetary warship finally reacted and they immediately wanted to leave.

At this point, Schiller commented, "It seems that Magneto is still a tactical master. He first used this slow change to deceive the Kree commander, making him think that the Sun would not immediately have a problem, giving him enough time to think about what happened to the star. Maybe he even wanted to investigate it..."

As Schiller said, the planetary warship did not immediately use all the remaining energy to forcibly start the engine and begin the jump. Instead, it slowly retreated a distance in space, as if it wanted to observe from a distance what changes had occurred on the star.

This cannot be blamed on them for letting their guard down, because they had already conducted extremely detailed investigations of this star before mining energy. Although this star was not in its prime, it was still stable, and there could be no changes for at least hundreds of thousands of years.

The more developed a civilization is, the more confident it is in the data it has investigated. Therefore, the Kree's first reaction was not that the Sun was going to explode, but that there was a problem with their energy extraction method, which caused the Sun to change. So their first reaction was not to run away, but to step back and see what was going on.

It's like when a person is using a microwave oven and hears a click, their first reaction is, "Did I heat something wrong, causing the microwave to break?"...

The measures taken are definitely not to run away, but to step back and observe, and maybe even go up and pat the microwave.

But just as the planetary warship observed for a while without any results and was about to go up and pat the star to see what was wrong, in a unit of time that humans cannot perceive, the star suddenly erupted with a huge gravitational force, attracting everything around it.

In a short moment, this terrible gravity broke through the limit that the planetary warship's anti-gravity device could maintain, and this planetary warship, which was very small in front of the star, fell towards the Sun at a terrifying speed.

Suddenly, this terrible gravity disappeared.

The star exploded.

On the huge screen, the circular fireball first surged with a wave of orange waves, followed by white gradually covering the entire sphere. Then, several dazzling star rings spread out around the sphere, covering the entire elliptical area around the star.

These star rings began to vibrate continuously, and then at a certain moment, they bloomed into brilliant fireworks.

What humans can observe with their naked eyes is very scarce. The processes of various particles interacting with each other cannot be seen by carbon-based organisms at all.

But what they can see is a brilliant fireworks display that spreads throughout the entire galaxy, erupting from this huge star. The endless brilliance completely illuminates the dark space.

No one cares anymore about where the small planetary warship was destroyed in which wave of energy explosion. This kind of brilliant light makes everyone dizzy and unable to extricate themselves. This is a brilliance that no painting can depict, and the known colors in this world are not enough to express the splendor of this moment.

And at this moment, people found that there seemed to be a small black dot on the screen, standing still since the change in the Sun, without moving.

This black dot was as quiet as a speck of dust on the surface of the screen, appearing even more abrupt in this brilliant light. Some viewers even wanted to wipe the screen, but soon they found out that it was not dust, but a person.

It was someone they didn't want to think about or dare to think about.

Magneto stood in the aftermath of the Sun's explosion, wave after wave of huge energy swept past him, but not a single strand could touch his clothes. An invisible position always surrounded him, letting him stand closest to the hottest energy core, watching this brilliant scene more closely than anyone else, but he remained silent.

Polaris also stood in the S.H.I.E.L.D. office, looking at the screen in front of her, her face illuminated by the firelight. When everyone was frozen, looking at the screen, she lowered her head slightly and looked at her own hands, as if thinking about something.

Then, she looked at Charles as if they had a telepathic connection. Charles was also looking at her and nodded slowly.

Polaris looked back at the screen. The brightness of the explosion did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger. The brightness of the supernova explosion would become brighter and brighter in the next few days.

Undoubtedly, this was a supernova explosion that could be observed by humans, because in the next few days, its brightness would be enough to cross billions of light-years...

In the two conference rooms, everyone who saw this scene was silent, as if still immersed in the shock.

But that small black dot seemed to have no mood to enjoy the scenery. In a moment that no one noticed, he disappeared, just like he had disappeared in the center of the battlefield countless times.

"I think now, the people in the other venue should have a lot of questions and fears," Nick said slowly, looking at the screen.

"I guess they should want to ask a question, but it's really a stupid question - 'Why doesn't Magneto destroy Earth?'" Schiller continued, "It's better to ask why he wants to destroy Earth?"

"Perhaps, on the day when mutants are completely extinct, he will..."

"No, he won't," Charles interrupted Nick's speculation, shaking his head. "He won't destroy Earth. If mutants really are going to die out, he will turn everyone into mutants."

"You can think of him as a madman, but he really loves this planet, more than any of you," Charles sighed, his tone becoming low, as if he were reading a storybook.

The cold light in the office dimmed, and only the low voice echoed.

"Many years ago, when I first met him, I thought he was a very lonely person. He rarely communicated with others and didn't like to participate in any lively occasions."

"At that time, I felt that as his friend, I had an obligation to pull him out of this loneliness, but later, I found out that he was not actually lonely."

"Because he was born with the ability to sense magnetic fields, his best friend is the planet beneath his feet."

"Erik is like living in the blood vessels of Earth, able to listen to the planet's whispers through his special magnetic talent."

"Their magnetic fields merge into one, and this planet is his parents, friends, and lovers, beating with him and pulsing together."

"As his abilities grew stronger, he had more and more friends."

"Planets, stars, black holes... everything in space has a unique magnetic field, which is their language, and Erik, he is the listener of all the voices in space. Only he can hear the singing of these celestial bodies..."

Finally, with the screen turning off, Charles' voice faded away with a sigh.

"This is Magneto, a son of space who is not alone."
