Chapter 1226： Trial begins

, !

Ten days later, West Coast San Diego.

The number of trials selected by the stone tablet has reached an astonishing 2,000.

However, compared to the huge crowd of hundreds of thousands, the number of people who have obtained the qualification for the trial is quite rare.

Although the remaining people did not qualify for the trial, they still stayed here, intending to serve as spectators to witness the moment of this miracle. At the end of the nine major stages of the 6,000-mile journey, almost all of them were crowded with onlookers.

Media across the United States is like a shark smelling blood, rushing to report the trial.

Fueled by all the media and social platforms, the popularity of this trial related to the Holy Grail and wishing has been pushed to an unprecedented height, and people all over the world are paying attention to it.

As noon approached, the sun was shining brightly.

The harshness of the summer sun has caused many people to sweat profusely, and many people with weak constitutions have even fainted.

But more people still endured the discomfort and stared straight ahead, because all the contestants who participated in the trial had basically gathered, just waiting for the stone tablet to signal the official start.

"Look over there, it's the Phoenix Apostles, they actually came too!"

An exclamation broke out from the crowd, attracting the attention of other participants.

Four fiery and passionate phoenix fires, like burning red rays of light, carrying a vast momentum, spread from the sky far away at an extremely fast speed.

Cyclops, Colossus, Storm, and Hope landed on the beach in turn.

The rest of the people who participated in the trial gave them an open space one after another, and there was a hint of fear in their vigilant eyes.

"Still watching? Stay away, don't be targeted by them!"

"That's right, do you want to be eliminated from the beginning?"

Those who have the qualifications for the trial avoid looking at them.

Nowadays, the reputation of the Phoenix Apostle is almost unknown.

Therefore, no one dares to touch their bad head, so they can only keep away from bad luck as much as possible. I hope that after the trial begins, they will never encounter these evil stars, so as not to be eliminated directly.

"No trace of the Avengers found..."

Storm looked around and frowned, "Could it be that they didn't come to participate?"

"No, they must be here."

Cyclops put his hands on his chest and said coldly: "Trust me, Orolo, they must be hiding in the crowd participating in the trial now, they just don't dare to show up."

"Unfortunately, Emma is gone." Storm sighed and said, "If she was still there, as long as she was still there, as long as she was still alive, she would be able to easily find their tracks. Professor... actually refused. We really can't figure it out."

"Understandably, the professor is old after all."

Cyclops frowned slightly, and although his tone was calm, there was a flash of anger in his eyes.

For Professor X's decision, they also did not understand why they only let Kuaiyin to participate in the trial, but refused to help.

"Hmph, a group of cowards, don't be afraid of them."

Colossus has a strong voice, his eyes are extremely oppressive, and wherever his eyes go, the crowd bows their heads: "It doesn't matter if they are there, anyway, the journey is so long, we will meet sooner or later, then... I will personally Crush their bones!"

"You're doing this...will you break the rules?" Hope said cautiously.

"No, Hope."

Cyclops chuckled and said meaningfully: "Look carefully, the rule is: no criminal behavior is allowed to be 'discovered', in other words, as long as it is not discovered."

Hope was just sixteen years old, and she was still a little girl. Hearing this, he covered his mouth and showed a surprised expression: "But... isn't this a loophole in the rules?"

"This is not a loophole in the rules, it's just a rational use of the rules, Hope." Storm came up and touched her hair, glanced at the crowd peeping secretly around, and said softly: "And...all participating in the trial People think so in their hearts.”

Hope looked around and found that everyone was like this, with murderous intent and vigilance in their eyes.

Among the people who participated in the trial this time, not only the X-Men and the Avengers, but also some mutants who did not participate in the organization, as well as special superpowers, or some super villains.

No one doesn't want, an all-purpose wishing machine.

So, their enemies, in addition to the Avengers, are those potential enemies.

In the mutual alert and vigilance, the crowd participating in the trial silently prepared.

Soon, it was noon, the sun was at its peak, and the heat reached the hottest hour of the day.

The holy trial will begin in a minute!

Suddenly, this thought appeared in the minds of all the participants.

Under the venomous sun, some sleepy participants woke up the moment they heard the voice, like bloodthirsty wolves, staring straight ahead.

"Get ready, it's time to start!"

Cyclops let out a low growl, making all the apostles wake up.

The noisy sound disappeared immediately, and thousands of people were silent, all holding their breaths and adjusting their state.

Tick ​​tock...tick tock...

The sound of the clock was extremely harsh on the empty beach.

Boom!

Suddenly, a dull and melodious bell echoed on the beach in San Diego.

Just like the starting gun in a race, the moment the bell rang, thousands of people, like wild horses running away, kicked up a large piece of sand and rushed out with a roar of filial piety.

The trial has officially started!

"Get away from me!

! "

Only a muffled roar was heard, and then the entire beach set off a wave of dust.

The huge vibration was transmitted along the beach, and everyone could feel it, as if it was an eighth-magnitude earthquake. With the sound of breaking the air, the crowd in front turned back in amazement and found a silvery steel behemoth, rushing in a terrifying manner. Come.

"It's a steel man!"

The person in front screamed and recognized at a glance that the identity of the steel behemoth was the Steel Warrior, one of the Phoenix Apostles.

The Colossus, who is made of steel, relies on the advantage of weight to run like a heavy tank, especially when paired with his terrifying speed, it is enough to become a fearsome steel train.

But if it is rubbed to the side, I am afraid that the tendons will be broken and fractured.

"Damn, isn't it forbidden to use the ability?!" One of them cried out in frustration.

"Idiot, are you stupid?" The person next to him scolded: "The rule is that the use of abilities is not allowed to travel, and this guy has no ability to use, he is born like this!"

Colossus quickly broke through the crowd and took the apostles to the leading position.

"As long as you keep accelerating, you can get rid of them!"

Colossus said confidently: "The cowards of the Avengers, just stay in the crowd!"

"Don't be carelessPiot."

Cyclops followed closely behind him, using the huge body to block the oncoming wind: "Our goal is to win the first place in each stage, and the most important thing is to distribute physical strength reasonably, understand?"

"Don't worry, I understand!"

Colossus gave a thumbs up and grinned: "I'm still very strong, we'll win the first stage!"

During the time of the conversation, the Phoenix Apostle and the army had already opened hundreds of positions.

"Aren't we going to catch up?"

Namor, who was hiding in the crowd, said impatiently, "If you are pulled too far, you won't be able to catch up with them!"

"Don't worry, it's not time yet."

Iron Man said sternly: "When we leave San Diego and come to the desert, it's time for us to perform."
