Manhattan, Battery Park.

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance walked through the crowded avenue, carrying a black briefcase, into a narrow and dark alley, following the route in his memory, to an old building hidden in the depths of the block. He rang the bell outside the door, and a moment later the small window opened in the door, revealing a wary face.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Mutated and proud!"

The middle-aged man replied coldly, and the two sides exchanged codes like joint agents during the Cold War, and with a clang, the reinforced iron door was opened, and the man with the briefcase walked in without squinting.

The moment he stepped into the door, the ordinary middle-aged man suddenly changed, a bumpy blue body appeared under the black trench coat, and the demon woman walked gracefully in this old building of the last century, and occasionally saw some strange-looking guys on the way, they were all Magneto's recruited subordinates, with unusual superpowers.

Bang!

A burly body was thrown at the feet of Raven, the demon girl, like a cannonball, and she paused to find that it was Victor, a saber-toothed tiger with a bad brain, a beast with a low IQ, who somehow angered the mutant leader who didn't have a good temper.

There was a sensational sound from upstairs, like the screeching sound of countless metal clashing, and Raven turned her head to look at Toad Todd crouching in the hallway, Eric rarely made such a fuss, she couldn't imagine who had angered the powerful Magneto.

The Demonic Girl twisted her waist and walked upstairs, and the room that belonged to Magneto was in shambles, with papers scattered all over the floor like snowflakes, metal tables and chairs and utensils all overturned, and the author of all this destruction stood with his back straight in front of the computer, like a statue of silence.

"What's going on, Eric?" Magneto calmed the anger in his heart, there are only a few people in this world who will call him that.

"Since humanity wants a war, then I will satisfy them!" The helmeted old man's voice was cold, and the web news on the computer screen was all about mutants being captured and killed for illegal to live experiments.

Raven stepped forward and skimmed it roughly, the yellow pupils also showed the fire of anger, and the eyes were slightly red, looking at the cruel situation of those compatriots being tied to the operating table, slaughtered like livestock, hatred gnawed at the heart like a fire, and bursts of tearing pain eroded the body.

"Eric......

"That's why Charles and I parted ways...... He always believed that humans were full of beauty and kindness, so he looked forward to the day when mutants could live in harmony with humans and live on this planet. ”

Magneto had regained his composure, he stared at the news report on the computer, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "He forgot, or he doesn't want to admit it, no race will accept a group of aliens, especially if the other party can also pose a threat to himself, this is not racial discrimination, but a complete racial dispute!" Mutants need a better life, and we're tired of being hunted down, ostracized, hiding in Tibet, like rats in the gutter! ”

"We're neither outliers nor freaks – mutants are pioneers on the path of evolution, and we're proud of our innate talent! This time, I'm going to make the whole world face up to our existence, and even Charles can't stop me! ”

Magneto, who had been dormant for half a century, thought the time was ripe for mutants to take to the stage with an official appearance and make their voices heard!

Liberty Island's high-end summit was undoubtedly a great opportunity, and Magneto designed a conversion device that could mutate the genes of ordinary people into mutants - although in the process of forced transformation, it would violently destroy the body's originally stable gene chain, causing its own genes to collapse, and at least half of them would die as a result.

But the human-hating mutant leader doesn't care about that, he just wants to warn humanity in this way that mutants are not weak objects to be slaughtered, they are lions with sharp claws, and humans themselves are weak lambs.

"Maybe we can do it another way and give those humans a wake-up call."

Looking at the graphics on his computer screen, Magneto couldn't help but think back to his miserable days in Auschwitz, where he feared every day that he would be sent to the gas chambers or be amused by some officer. It was the darkest day Eric had ever experienced, and he had witnessed how Nazi officers had brutally killed Jews as if they were livestock, driven into pits and then shot and buried, or sent to gas chambers to test the power of chemical weapons.

Originally, Eric could not escape such a tragic fate, a Nazi scientist named Sebastian Shaw found him different, in order to stimulate the powerful ability in his body, the other party shot his mother in front of him, in extreme anger, he awakened the natural ability to control the magnetic field, and since then the legendary life of "Magneto" has begun.

Before meeting Charles, an old friend who fell in love and killed him, Eric only lived for revenge, and after killing Shaw, he chose to fight for his compatriots, inheriting the concept of enemies in disguise and building a beautiful country belonging to mutants.

"I thought that the plan to attack Liberty Island was too risky, so many politicians would lose their lives and mutants would become enemies of the world, but it would be okay to take Watsonton, the human government might be angry, but it wouldn't touch their sensitive nerves."

Raven was on Eric's shoulder, disguised as a government official because of her plan to attack Liberty Island, and secretly obtained a list of key personnel to participate in the summit, as well as the itinerary and security distribution.

As one of Magneto's most trusted helpers, Raven does not agree with Eric's attack plan, which will not change the difficult situation of fellow mutants, but will cause the human government to suppress and vigilance, and completely set off a war between the two races.

At that time, the living conditions of mutants will become more difficult than during the Cold War, and the fragile peace that Charles has carefully maintained for many years will be shattered in an instant.

"You're right, now is not the best time to confront humanity head-on." Magneto followed Raven's advice, and he sighed softly, "Raven, you are still so young, and Charles and I are already old. ”

The Demonic Girl fell silent, the high-spirited Magneto in her memory had quietly become a wrinkled old man, still full of power, but no longer young.

"Charles and I have taken different paths, but we all have the same intention, we both want our compatriots to be able to live freely in this world, and no longer be afraid of other people's strange eyes."

Magneto had a deep look of nostalgia in his eyes, who would have imagined that half a century ago, he and Professor X, another leader of mutants, had trusted each other and fought side by side.

Rescuing the occasional nostalgia, Magneto's face gradually became cold and hard, like steel, and he said in a deep voice: "I want to use the destruction of Watsendon to remind the world that mutants are not weak lambs to be bullied!" ”
