Chapter 939: The Fate of Mutants
What is the easiest era to become a hero?
War years.
As the saying goes, the times create heroes, and only in turmoil, when the rules are broken, can a hero rise quickly.
In Mawson's view, Magneto was born in a completely wrong era, if he could have been born 20 years earlier, just in time for World War 2 when he was young.
Then he might be able to do something about it.
But unfortunately, the number of mutants at that time was also extremely rare, and by the time they grew up, the war was over.
The world becomes peaceful.
In the context of peace, the crisis of mutants is becoming more and more prominent.
But what if it's the war years?
1939, September.
Polish border.
As a small country in Europe, Poland was not developed at this time.
Veron.
An ordinary town in Poland.
In the early morning of September 1, while the townspeople were asleep, German warplanes roared over the town.
Accompanied by the whistling sound of airplanes, there were shells falling from the sky.
The silence of the town was shattered, and in the early morning of the second day, 75% of the buildings in the entire town were destroyed, and countless civilians died as a result.
The smell of blood and gunsmoke filled the town, people were displaced, and in the screams and screams, it was as if they had seen the end of the world.
When Jessica stepped on the land, she saw such a sight.
Raised by Mawson, Jessica is not a white rabbit who does not follow the world, and she has more or less performed some missions with Victor over the years.
Never once has it been as tragic as it is in front of you.
"Shocking?"
"If I told you that this was just the beginning, the whole world would be in turmoil."
"All you see is the thousands of people in front of you, and there will be tens of millions of people who will die in the future because of this war."
"The families affected by this are innumerable."
"Why the hell is that?"
"All the assets in this town combined, not even as good as the planes and artillery shells that hit here."
Jessica clenched her fists, and it was impossible for a normal person to be indifferent after seeing this human tragedy.
Mawson shook his head, "Of course, it's for the sake of profit, but it's for the long-term good." ”
"Uncle, what should I do?"
Mawson looked at Jessica.
"I asked you to come, not to let you end this war, or how many people you will save in this war."
"Because that makes no sense to the world."
"When contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, they will explode."
"Now they're attacking unarmed civilians."
"Maybe one day they'll attack mutants like you and me."
"How so?" Jessica was slightly stunned.
"Besides, who can hurt me now?"
Jessica is not what she was a few years ago.
With Mawson's help, she basically mastered all of her abilities, and after that, Mawson injected her with the Primordial Elixir and chimeed Wolverine's X gene.
Eternal youth and super resilience have improved Jessica's strength by more than a little bit.
Unless you can control her brain, it will be too hard to kill her.
And as long as the brain is still active, Jessica's burst of power will be devastating.
"You're really strong right now, but you're nowhere near invincible, and even if you do become the strongest mutant."
"But are you willing to live a life of being shouted at by everyone and ostracized by everyone?"
"Because you are being ostracized, are you going to destroy this world, and then rebuild this planet on the ruins?"
Jessica was slightly stunned, thinking of the terrible scene described by Mawson, she believed that even if she could destroy the world at that time, she would not have recognition and companionship.
In the end, there is only loneliness.
In the face of a lonely world, what is the point of living longer?
With her current eyes, she couldn't see that far, but that didn't stop her from imagining that terrible consequence.
"We can hide in the crowd......"
"It's true right now, but you grew up in a research center, and you should know that the number of mutants is increasing every year, and it's going very fast."
"This is an inevitable result, and we will eventually be exposed to the eyes of ordinary people."
"But even if there are millions of mutants, our number is still too small for the average person."
"At that point, what happened here will be repeated, but it will be these ordinary people who have been sympathized with by you in the past."
"And we, with the exception of a very few powerful individuals, can only fall in pools of blood."
A chill rushed to my mind.
Jessica couldn't help but shudder.
"Uncle, what should I do?"
Same question, except that the second time asked, Jessica was for herself.
"Do what I say, and we still have a chance to change the future."
For the first time in 28 years, Jessica seemed to have found the meaning of her existence, and her eyes became determined.
"Tell me, what should I do."
Mawson nodded in satisfaction.
The next thing he couldn't do alone.
At this moment, the roar of airplanes was heard in the sky, and 6 planes divided into two columns and flew from a distance.
"Air strike!"
Heart-rending shouts resounded through the streets.
Regardless of the disabled, everyone desperately tried to hide from the surrounding buildings.
"Do you want me to crush these annoying flies?"
A flash of anger flashed across Jessica's face.
"Control your abilities and don't go too far."
Mawson thought for a moment, "Let's stay at the level of level two." ”
"Don't show off your fine grip and attack from a distance."
Although she didn't understand Mawson's intentions for the time being, Jessica obeyed this order unconditionally.
She beckoned, and in the collapsed house, a piece of steel automatically fell into her hand.
Sou!
The steel bar flew out of the air and was intercepted in the trajectory of the plane's flight in the blink of an eye.
The next second, the unsuspecting fighter crashed head-on.
Sparks erupted, and the entire plane exploded.
Immediately afterwards, the two planes flying side by side with him also exploded.
"What's going on!"
The pilot, who was following behind, shouted, "Someone is attacking us!" ”
At this moment, Jessica took the initiative to jump to a high place.
She instantly captured everyone's attention.
With his hands outstretched, three steel bars peeled off the wall and floated in mid-air.
Everyone watched in amazement.
Whoosh!
The rebar burst out of the air.
Two of them hit their targets, and the remaining one slashed across the plane's body.
The pilot shouted, frantically raised the altitude, and fled into the distance.
And at this point, Jessica showed just the right amount of weakness.
Seeing that the enemy plane was destroyed, the Poles hidden in the building came out one after another, and they looked up at Jessica as if looking up at a god.
Mawson smiled slightly, he knew that his goal had been achieved.
