42: Kidnapping Wanda and Phoenix

Wanda and Quicksilver were undergoing Hydra training at a Hydra base in Eastern Europe.

Quicksilver had to learn how to turn in time while speeding, preventing himself from crashing into anything at super high velocity, or else it would lead to his own destruction.

Meanwhile, Wanda had already begun learning how to use Chaos Magic to manipulate people's thoughts. Hydra was training this ability of hers, which later caused the Avengers great trouble.

Just as the two were training, the entire base quietly fell silent without them noticing.

It was as if a shadow was invisibly enveloping the entire Hydra base!

The others hadn't noticed anything unusual, but Wanda, who controlled Chaos Magic, sensed that something was wrong.

She invisibly felt an extremely terrifying power, like a dark cloud, gradually closing in on her from all directions.

Finally, she saw the guard stationed at the door suddenly collapse onto the floor.

Then, Wanda felt the hearts of the two Hydra soldiers guarding the door suddenly stop beating, completely losing their lives.

"Pietro, let's go quickly, a very powerful guy is here!"

Wanda urgently yelled at Quicksilver.

Quicksilver also saw the two people collapse at the door and prepared to rush over and take Wanda away, but just as he ran halfway to Wanda, his speed slowed down.

An invisible telekinetic force acted upon him, forcibly slowing him down and confining him in place.

Wanda was also confined by this same telekinetic force.

They were now immobilized, as if under a time-stasis spell, unable to move at all.

Only their heads could turn, and they saw the newcomers: a man and a woman, both very good-looking—it was Ye Feng and Ali.

This time, Ye Feng's target was Wanda.

He used his Telekinesis to cover the entire base, eliminating all the Hydra members inside, leaving only Wanda and Quicksilver.

Wanda's Chaos Magic was very peculiar. Ye Feng speculated that this power capable of destroying infinity stones was actually a four-dimensional level power, meaning it was a powerful force on the same level as Void Concept Rewrite.

After capturing the two, Ye Feng did not communicate much with them, directly using a Space-Folding Spatial Channel to bring them aboard the blood wolf.

Because he did not understand the fundamental mystery of Chaos Magic, he could not analyze Wanda herself, and thus could not use the space transfer method based on Micro-Wormhole Technology to take Wanda away.

"Are you aliens? Why are you capturing us."

Wanda wanted to resist, but Ye Feng put Bracelets with Mental Suppression Power on both of them. They could inhibit the link between their vigorous mental power and Wanda's Chaos Magic.

Whether it was Wanda or Quicksilver, they needed mental drive to exert their power, but Ye Feng blocked this connection.

Facing Wanda's question, Ye Feng thought for a moment and gave his answer.

"We are not aliens, nor are we people from your world. We captured you because we are very interested in your power. Your power is extremely special and highly advanced, possessing great scientific research value."

"But rest assured, I don't need to use methods like slicing or live experiments for research. I consider those methods to be very inefficient technological research approaches. Being able to conduct research without harming the power Host is the true embodiment of technical capability and the best research method, yielding the most accurate answers with the smallest deviation!"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Quicksilver breathed a sigh of relief.

They were now captives, and having been captives of Hydra before, they had long experienced being subjects of research.

Hydra's previous research on the two of them involved drawing blood and slicing, which was quite inhumane.

Wanda said nothing more, her entire demeanor somewhat lifeless.

Her fate had always been this way; ever since losing her parents, things had been terrible. First, she fell into the hands of Hydra, and now into the hands of Ye Feng.

Her appearance made Ye Feng quite uncomfortable.

"Relax, I won't harm you. On the contrary, if you stay in human society, you'll either be exploited by Hydra, or utilized by S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Avengers. You must have experienced the darkness of human nature. People with powerful abilities like yours are warriors who must step forward during a crisis, but during peacetime, you are dangerous elements that threaten society—either you die, or you become pitiful lab specimens!"

After this round of persuasion, Ye Feng allowed them to move freely in their designated area on the spaceship.

During this process, the various dark energy engines on the spaceship would automatically run, collecting various data points on the Chaos Magic within Wanda's body.

Ye Feng suppressed the connection between her mental power and Chaos Magic, which would make the Chaos Magic within her body relatively more active, its data fluctuations more obvious, and easier to detect and read.

In their activity area, there were also plenty of entertainment facilities. The blood wolf's Intelligent Computer would ensure they lived securely there, preventing Wanda from going berserk due to emotional issues.

After capturing Wanda, Ye Feng's target fell upon the second important person.

Phoenix Girl Jean Grey!

Mutants also existed on Earth in this universe, but compared to Magneto, Professor X, and others, Ye Feng was more interested in Phoenix Force possessed by Phoenix Girl.

This high-level power was much more interesting than Professor X's Psychic Power.

The level of scientific mystery involved must certainly be no weaker than Void Concept Rewrite-level power.

Jean Grey was currently at the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters founded by Professor X.

This time, Ye Feng did not take Ali with him.

Although Ali's mental power was not weak, facing a powerhouse like Professor X, her secrets might be read.

Moreover, although Wanda was imprisoned on the blood wolf and monitored by the ship's Intelligent Computer, it wouldn't work without someone keeping an eye on her.

Ye Feng appeared directly at the entrance of the Mutant Academy.

Furthermore, he deliberately chose a day when Professor X was present. This wasn't Ye Feng being arrogant; rather, he wanted to experience Professor X's Psychic Power, and incidentally, experience the uniqueness of that power and collect relevant data.

Ye Feng was preparing to take the mind stone!

As soon as he appeared, Professor X sensed him. He discovered a super powerhouse, an existence he couldn't see through at all, had appeared at the school gate.

Professor X fully activated his Psychic Power, attempting to peer into Ye Feng's mind, but his power was blocked by Ye Feng's Telekinesis.

Ye Feng appeared to be "resisting with difficulty," yet Professor X could never see into Ye Feng's mind.

Every time Professor X increased his psychic invasion, Ye Feng was able to block it. The two seemed to be in a state of equilibrium in this contest of mental power.

However, Professor X was quite clever. After a short period of this tug-of-war, he quickly realized that Ye Feng was not using his full strength at all.

It seemed like he was probing the mysterious powerhouse Ye Feng, but in reality, Ye Feng was probing him.

Professor X immediately pressed a button on his wheelchair.

An urgent sound suddenly rang throughout the academy; this was the alarm message the school had preset.

When this sound went off, it signified the emergence of a major crisis, and everyone had to evacuate!

Whoosh!

The students were startled, but the Mutant teachers were experienced and reacted quickly.

They rapidly opened various underground passages, allowing the Young Mutants to leave through them.

However, the main combat forces of the Mutant Academy, including Jean Grey, Wolverine, Storm, and Iceman—powerful Mutants—quickly ran toward Professor X's location, preparing to fight the enemy alongside the Professor.

By this time, Ye Feng had already collected sufficient data using the powerful computing power of the celestial computer, enough to deeply analyze Professor X's power.

He then stepped into the Mutant Academy.

Ye Feng arrived deep inside the school building, waving his Telekinesis to form a powerful spherical telekinetic barrier.

This barrier created a terrifying energy shield both above and below ground. Not only could people inside not get out, but any disturbance would not alarm the outside world.

To outsiders, the area appeared calm, as if nothing had happened.

All the low-combat teachers and Young Mutants were trapped underground. They kept running until they hit the invisible barrier created by Ye Feng and simply could not escape.

Now, everyone in the Mutant Academy, regardless of size, strength, or weakness, was trapped inside the school.

Left with no choice, they had to emerge from underground.

Ye Feng, however, made no other moves. He sat on a swing set near the school entrance, leisurely swinging, waiting for Professor X to activate his Psychic Amplification Device.

Sure enough, after a short while, Professor X activated the device, amplifying his Psychic Power, raising it to the Omega Level.

Yet, even so, he still could not invade Ye Feng's mind. Instead, it allowed Ye Feng to collect even more data regarding Psychic Power.

Having no other choice, he and the group of Mutants emerged, where they saw Ye Feng sitting there, relaxed and carefree.

"Your Excellency, as a powerhouse, why are you attacking us Mutants?"

Cyclops and Wolverine wanted to attack, but Professor X stopped them. The closer he got, the more he could feel the power and danger of the person before him.

"I am an Interstellar Bandit. Upon arriving on your planet, I suddenly discovered that you have many things worth robbing here."

Ye Feng introduced himself unhurriedly and stated his objective.

With a wave of his hand, Jean Grey flew up, directly restrained by Telekinesis, and was brought to Ye Feng's side.

"And my target this time is to steal this miraculous young girl who possesses the Phoenix Force!"

As he spoke, Ye Feng secretly activated the Concept Rewrite Device.

"Target Phoenix Girl, initiate energy suppression: Anti-Photonic Energy, Anti-Dark Energy, Anti-other suppressible energy. Create an absolute Zero-Energy Field!"

"Initiate mental suppression, suppress the revival of the Phoenix Force!"

"Suppressing, suppressing, suppression successful. Phoenix Girl's consciousness is halted, unable to exert power!"

The Concept Rewrite Device, supported by the massive computing power of the celestial computer and Ye Feng's Telekinesis, immediately suppressed the Phoenix Force of Jean Grey before it could even revive, causing her to instantly fall unconscious.

Everything happened in a very short time, ending before Professor X and the others could react.

Jean Grey collapsed into Ye Feng's arms, and Ye Feng immediately activated the space-folding channel, transmitting her onto the blood wolf.

Seeing Jean Grey vanish, Cyclops was enraged and immediately launched a photonic attack, but Ye Feng knocked him unconscious with a single slap of his Telekinesis.

Wolverine also lunged out like an enraged wolf, and Ye Feng knocked him unconscious as well.

Ye Feng effortlessly crushed them with strength comparable to a Planetary-Level Powerhouse.

"Professor X, please don't make any rash moves. Otherwise, those Young Mutants won't be safe!"

Ye Feng threatened casually, perfectly demonstrating his qualities as an Interstellar Bandit.

In reality, he wasn't guarding against Professor X, but against Ancient One.

The disappearance of Wanda and Jean Grey was bound to cause drastic changes in the timeline, which would certainly attract the attention of Ancient One or even the Time Variance Authority.

Taking advantage of this time, he also completed one last task: reading the Genetic Data of all the Mutants.

In just a moment, Ye Feng completed this step.

Then, Ye Feng flashed and completely vanished. Shortly after Ye Feng disappeared, the figure of Ancient One appeared on the roof of the Mutant Academy, but no one noticed her presence.
