Chapter 280: You Know Better Than Me

Then Grant told what had happened.

These include how the ancient one thought that mutants were extremely harmful to the civilization of the earth, and then exiled the entire race from those important people who eliminated mutants, so that there was not even the word "mutant" in the world; Including the world in which Grant was originally located, there were no mutants; Including how the ancient one "discovered his conscience" later, changed his mind, and decided to "transform" the mutants back in order to deal with more terrible crises in the future; Including Grant being sent to the past to save Magneto from a past version of the Ancient Hand; And so on and so forth. In addition to the timeline principle and the various methods of the Ancient One, which even Grant himself didn't quite understand, he said almost everything he could, and even the side of Wolverine in World War II, which was not in the same era as Magneto, and the Jean Gray incident that Grant himself was not involved in.

He uses beautiful language and ingenious narrative techniques, like a movie, using the collision between shots to trigger strong contrasts, reorganize, reshape, and reconstruct, creating a montage of intersecting and parallel three-dimensional splicing transformations, polishing a powerful rhythm. Throughout the process, he not only realistically described the mood of each occasion, but also perfectly provided the information that Magneto and the Demonic Girl wanted. This three-dimensional montage technique came to his fingertips. In the more than ten minutes of narration, he managed to make the two of them not feel sleepy or impatient, but enjoyed it......

Not really.

After all, his learning and training in this area are limited, and although Grant's eloquence is not bad, his narration ability can only be regarded as average, only better than the author. Still, he tried to make things clear.

Fortunately, Magneto and the Demonic Girl figured out what happened after a little tidying up. The ability of the Ancient One made them deeply jealous. They didn't expect someone to be able to upend the survival of a race. They didn't expect it either. This person really killed the lives of an entire innocent people just for a vague future.

"Did the man blame us for the mistake of our inheritance?"

At first, I thought that the other party was just looking for a random reason. After all, you can't beat it, even if you know it's a lie, you can't do it. But now that I know this, it's really the reason, Magneto's grievance......

Grant shook his head.

"I don't think the Ancient One meant to blame you. He probably thought it was better to do it once and for all. ”

Magneto was already speechless. This time, it was the Witch's turn to speak.

"Well, Grant. Do you know what we mutants have done in the so-called future that will cause the extinction of the earth's civilization? ”

"To be honest, I don't know." Grant said helplessly, "At that time, he first showed me what some of you are capable of, and let me know how much damage you can do. Then, the conversation turned to time travelers and alien invaders. He said that some of you people in your race can have those two abilities. Time travelers will disrupt the timeline and may well cause massive changes in Earth; Alien invasions can pull up a team that has been enough to crush life on Earth in the shortest possible time. In short, he didn't say exactly what the crisis was, but judging by what he meant. The kind of crisis that threatens to destroy the civilization of the earth, but is caused by your mutants, should be ...... more than once"

"But since there have been a few times, it means that at least except for the last time, we have spent everything else, right?"

"That's not how I understand it." Grant shook his head, "Although I don't and don't understand the principle of foreseeing the future, I can guess a little. I think it should be like a complete psychological test, where each moment of behavior can be seen as an option, and then one by one. The final assessment results are composed. It should be the same for foreseeing the future. Perhaps the ancient one speculated repeatedly through various deductions. In the end, it was found that several results were that the earth's civilization was in danger of destruction. Perhaps that's why he was determined to wipe out your entire race, or your handful of most influential mutants, to eliminate the threat at its roots. ”

Speaking of which, in the face of Magneto and the Demonic Girl's dark faces, Grant added, "By the way, to make it clear." I don't mean to argue for him. In fact, I am glad that you want to take revenge! ”

"But you said he was dead...... I remember you deliberately mentioned that the man also had a student? A new generation of Supreme Magicians? ”

"What 'deliberately', I just said it casually." This sentence in the face of the demon girl. Grant squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "If you really want to trouble the Ancient One students, that's your own idea, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Just as the Demonic Girl was about to say something, Magneto spoke: "This is not in a hurry. ”

Well, the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants seems to mean that.

"I have one more question. Let that ancient one change his mind and think that the crisis that we mutants have a chance to win only with the participation of our mutants is that the aliens have invaded the earth now? Magneto, frowning, looked at Grant and asked seriously, "It's not right in time." There is no bigger crisis caused by us mutants yet. It turns out that if he knew that the alien invasion was before the mutant crisis, he wouldn't have thought about it, right? Or is it because he changed the plan to change history that caused the so-called butterfly effect? ”

Hearing this, Grant didn't have to think too long. Because he had thought about it a long time ago, but he just didn't verify it.

"There is no doubt that you are talking about one of the possibilities. But I have another thought - maybe now is not the time to have mutants, there will be something in the future, much more terrible than the present, so terrible that even the danger of the destruction of the civilization of the earth is not enough......"

"Or maybe it's closer to being destroyed. I can't imagine anything more serious than the destruction of Earth's civilization. ”

Faced with this statement of the Demon Girl, Grant and Magneto both nodded. Yes, what could be more frightening than the destruction of Earth's civilization?

"Didn't that Ancient One student say anything?" Magneto spoke again, "With the duties of the Supreme Mage you mentioned, he should be the one who pays the most attention to that matter, right?" ”

Grant nodded: "After I figured it out, I haven't had time to go up to the Himalayas. But this kind of thing, the ancient one must have explained something to Strange. He'll give me the answer then. ”

"When the time comes, I'll have a copy of the answer."

With that, Magneto stood up. Grant was stunned for a moment.

"You're leaving?"

"Why, do you think this is different from the old friend reunion you imagined?" Magneto joked.

"I just didn't expect you to come quietly at night and knock on my door, just to know what happened. As far as I know, the great Magneto is not a man who is obsessed with the past. ”

"Only by grasping the past can we control the future." Magneto smiled and said, "You know this better than I do, no!" ”

After Magneto said this, he disappeared outside the door with the Demon, leaving Grant on the spot. (To be continued......)
