Chapter 89:
Charles has always believed that telepathy is the most amazing mutant power. Unlike other abilities, telepathy doesn't change how someone looks or provide immediate advantages. Charles thinks that he can handle any situation with his telepathic abilities, whether it's facing armed criminals or self-righteous politicians.
Telepathy is unique because it works silently, making it hard for most mutants to detect. One small mistake, and they are under its control. Charles's ability goes beyond telepathy; he can hypnotize, control, and attack enemies on a psychic level. Because of the special nature of telepathy, very few people can resist his attacks.
But everything changed when Fang Mo appeared. He shattered Charles's beliefs. Fang Mo's mental world was vast beyond anything Charles had seen before. If Charles's psychic power was like a never-ending river, Fang Mo was like a vast will made up of countless converging spirits, like a whole world.
Even Charles, who thought he was a genius, couldn't use his abilities on Fang Mo without being noticed. In that moment, facing Fang Mo, who was incredibly powerful both physically and mentally, Charles realized that there were limits to individual power. To surpass these limits, he needed to form a team.
So he turned his attention to Erik, also known as Magneto, who was by his side. Charles had secretly looked into Erik's memories and discovered that he had suffered as a child under the Nazis. Charles also learned about the terrible things Sebastian Shaw had done to him.
Therefore, Charles decided to bring Erik into his team before anything else. It turned out to be just as Charles expected. After the recent assassination attempt, Erik realized that Sebastian Shaw had companions, and defeating Shaw alone would be difficult for him.
Erik nodded and accepted Charles's invitation to join the team.
However, Fang Mo, who had witnessed everything, had a different opinion. In Fang Mo's view, young Charles was lacking. He seemed to have never learned to respect others' privacy. Unfortunately, it seemed that others didn't feel the same way.
People like Mystique (Raven Darkholme), Erik (Magneto), and even high-ranking CIA officials and Agent Mora, who specialized in investigating the Hellfire Club, didn't share Fang Mo's view.
Eventually, Charles reached an agreement with the CIA. They had a common goal in capturing Sebastian Shaw, so high-ranking officials approved a secret base for Charles.
With support from different sides, Charles finally turned his attention back to Fang Mo.
"I apologize for what happened before." Despite having bandages on his head, Charles went to Fang Mo's place and sincerely said, "I shouldn't have invaded your thoughts without permission. Please believe me, it was just an instinctive reaction."
"Hey, we're all mutants. Why are you apologizing?"
Fang Mo laughed and casually patted Charles on the shoulder. "I'm just naturally sensitive. Just remember not to use your abilities on me again."
Hearing Fang Mo's words, Charles felt relieved. But before he could say "thank you," Fang Mo added something.
"But let me make this clear. If you ever dare to read my mind again, I will immediately crush you, squeeze you, and bring you down to the ground."
Fang Mo smiled and looked at Charles. "And trust me, it would be purely instinctive reaction."
"Holy Shit! The Ring of Arcana!" Fang Mo exclaimed, momentarily stunned before becoming excited.
Erik watched Fang Mo, who suddenly became very excited, and he felt completely confused.
The situation felt eerie and strange. Fang Mo was talking non-stop, lighting candles, and chanting, which made Erik quite scared. He thought that Fang Mo's mental state might not be stable, so he decided to quietly leave for now and figure out what to do later.
Fang Mo noticed Erik leaving, but he didn't have the energy to pay attention to him. He was too excited and couldn't control himself.
Fang Mo was holding the Ring of Arcana, which was a powerful artifact in a game called the Equivalent Exchange mod. It was considered one of the best artifacts in terms of power. It made Fang Mo very excited.
The Ring of Arcana was even more terrifying than the Void Ring because it was made up of four rings: the Ring of Ignition, Zero Ring, Harvest Goddess Band, and Swiftwolf's Rending Gale. It also had five red materials. When these rings and materials were combined, they formed the ultimate ring.
The Ring of Ignition was immune to fire and could create high temperatures that burned everything around it. On the other hand, the Zero Ring could freeze the entire world. The Harvest Goddess Band could make plants grow quickly and automatically harvest or destroy them. As for Swiftwolf's Rending Gale, it allowed the user to fly, create whirlwinds, and wind walls. It could even turn rain into thunderstorms.
In the Equivalent Exchange mod, players could merge the power of these four rings by using the five red materials. Wearing the Ring of Arcana meant having control over fire, ice, storms, and naturefour powerful elements.
Without thinking too much, Fang Mo took the ring from Steve's hand. In an instant, a bright light flashed, and a heavy and beautiful ring appeared in Fang Mo's hand.
"Now I truly feel like a Sorcerer," Fang Mo said as he looked at the Ring of Arcana in his hand, unable to hide his excitement.
