Chapter 148: The End and Reincarnation [Two in One]
Chapter 148: The End of the Road
The red face is twilight.
Hero's End.
There is nothing more sad than this.
What are the returning heroes most afraid of? What he is afraid of is that the world is still that world, but there is no stage for him to show his ambitions. Even though his stage back then was extremely brilliant.
Meng Ao had only seen Magneto twice. The first time he saw the domineering and cold of the other party, this time, he saw the weakness and persistence of the other party. Even from a long distance, Meng Ao could see every subtle expression on the other party's face, revealing his inner mood.
Compared with the photos that Meng Ao once saw when he was young, the current Magneto has undoubtedly changed a lot.
His back was slightly stiff, even as he struggled to keep it straight. The corners of his eyes were wrinkled, his face was old, and his hair was half-gray. It can be seen that during the years in prison, he suffered a lot.
"Do you know what the first thing I felt when I saw him was like?" Meng Ao glanced sideways at Natasha Romanoff, who was still beside him.
"What?" Natasha Romanoff raised her eyes seductively, and her brown eyes looked at Meng Ao.
"We're like big villains." Meng Ao said truthfully.
"Isn't it funny?" Looking at Natasha, whose smile suddenly became bright, Meng Ao, who had cleaned up her mood, asked in a muffled voice.
"No, it's just that ¥▼ I don't think it fits my impression with you." Natasha Romanoff waved her hand: "Or, the person who said the sentence just now is more in line with your age group." ”
Driving away the untimely feeling and sympathy in his heart, Meng Ao perked up and glanced in the direction of Magneto, "Do you think he will take the initiative to surrender?" ”
"It's hard to say." Natasha was a little unsure.
"What about threatening him with the survival of these mutants in this desperate situation?" Meng Ao's jaw was directed towards the mutants in the camp who were constantly retreating towards Magneto's location as the special B.O.W weapons pressed in.
"He's a hardliner." Natasha reminded, "If it weren't for his toughness, he might have achieved a greater reputation than Professor X back then, and reaped more benefits for the survival of mutants." But he's overdone and like the Black Emperor, he's a complete racist. ”
"I've seen some of the materials from that year. The human condition was rather unpretty. As far as this country is concerned, there were not a few congressmen who were willing to settle with Magneto for a certain amount of time due to pressure, and reached a consensus on the rights and interests of mutants, and worked together. It has even been argued more than once in Congress. Everyone was wavering, as long as Magneto was willing to show them the same kindness as Professor X did. ”
But his goal is not to build a world where mutants and humans coexist. It's a world where mutants are completely dominant, regardless of whether humans live or die. It's like Homo sapiens knocked out the Andertals. He firmly believes that mutants will eventually eliminate humans. ”
"He crossed the bottom line of what humans can tolerate, so the authorities can only choose to fight a war with the other side that will completely fall on one side."
"This incident made a lot of people understand once again that when negotiations don't work, having a gun full of bullets in your hand is better than anything else! So in the past few decades, there have been many arms companies, as well as companies such as Storm, which are both pharmaceutical and biochemical weapons manufacturers. ”
"It's hard to say if his personality has changed, and if he's still the same, he's still the same person who never compromises with humanity. It will only make humanity compromise his hardliners. ”
Natasha Romanoff finally came to a conclusion.
"What if you let the hope of survival trick those mutants into capturing Magneto?" Meng Ao asked in turn.
"It's like the approach that we like to use as organizations." Natasha smiled, "If those mutants do what you say, then you're torturing him in this way." ”
"I just want to tell him that a rabble with little training can't be relied upon." Meng Ao looked at the panicked mutant crowd in the camp and pouted.
"Professor X's men are here." Natasha-, Romanov glanced at the sky, and a very sci-fi fighter plane was suspended in mid-air, disarming optical invisibility.
Arriving was Hank McCoy, the Minister of Mutant Affairs who had met with Meng Ao at Xavier Manor, and he was accompanied by a tall man. A cool girl with a graceful figure. Meng Ao had met Professor X Charles Xavier when she was talking to her and had been briefly introduced by Professor X.
Her name is O'Monroe. Nicknamed Storm Girl. At that time, Charles Xavier was introducing her, and his tone rushed to the door with love and praise for his proud child.
Hank McCoy carries a loudspeaker and loudly calms the chaotic and restless mutants, persuading them to drop their weapons and stay calm. Walking into the camp, he had changed his appearance with a horn.
As a mutant, he was inevitably affected by the leech virus**. The fur on his body, which was as fluffy as a beast, faded, and his dark complexion began to match that of a human. When this change is fixed, a Fauvist who once seemed burly and vicious has now become an ordinary person with a bit of weakness and a much thinner body.
“…… Did Charles betray me? I knew ......" looked at the wavering eyes of his men, and then looked at Hank McCoy and O'Monroe the Storm Lady strolling in. Magneto only felt a faint pain in his chest, and a huge anger enveloped him.
As he spoke, some mutants who had guns in their hands but had already emptied their bullets threw their guns out of the way with a sense of the times.
Most of them know something about Magneto's past, just as myths and legends have spread in the human world for so long and for so long, and the stories of Professor X Charles Xavier and Magneto Eric Lanshel, even after all these years, are still talked about.
But after all, they are not the mutants who followed Magneto, are powerful, and are willing to die for Magneto and their own race.
Most people believe in God, except for fanatics, but only have some kind of prayer and purpose.
Just as they followed Magneto, they only expected the mighty Magneto to bring them the changes he had promised.
For example, mutants are honored?
Under this premise, all mutants will rally around Magneto and follow him. Charge for one of his commands. Even if it could be dangerous.
But when the situation collapses to the point where the current situation is terrible, and Magneto seems to be unable to turn the tables around, this temporary team assembled by Magneto's life and commitment will inevitably collapse.
People believe in God because he is said to be omnipotent. But if someone bleeds God, the myth will be shattered.
Magneto is facing right now. It is the dilemma of the myth being broken.
"To be exact, Professor X Charles saved you."
Meng Ao crossed the crowd and interrupted Magneto's words.
"It's you." Magneto looked at Meng Ao.
"It's me." Meng Ao looked at Magneto.
"According to the agreement, you cannot hurt him." Hank McCoy was a little nervous. The situation is far worse than he imagined! Even if Omenro's ability is extremely powerful, even if his beast form is infinitely powerful, in the realm shrouded by the leech virus**, they are only weak lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
What can now make Hank McCoy feel at ease, except for the epoch-making X-Men fighter plane above, is his government status. and the tacit relationship with Natasha's organization, which should also be an important factor.
They didn't need to come, but they had to come.
They must come and make sure that Magneto is as safe as possible. Even if they don't have a cold heart for Magneto at all.
"Of course, as long as he can surrender." Meng Ao said softly. He knew what Magneto was going to do next, so he didn't mind being magnanimous for once. As long as he doesn't put pressure, whether it's the S.H.I.E.L.D. side or the government council, they will continue to negotiate and argue with the mutants led by Professor X and Hank McCoy according to the normal process.
As long as Magneto Eric really can't pose a threat anymore. In the end, it's just a matter of monetary interests.
And Professor X Charles, is precisely a person who is not short of money.
"I will not surrender. No more imprisonment! Magneto Eric roared, "Even if you die!" ”
"If you can't live proudly, then die proudly? Unfortunately, when you can't control the situation and fight back effectively, you have no choice. Haven't you realized? In the past, you could turn the world upside down, but now you haven't even had time to set off a storm. ”
"Times are different. When the time comes, let the old king do whatever he wants. and will take off his crown and give up his throne. Your time is over the day you failed. ”
Magneto Eric Lanshell looked at Meng Ao coldly.
"Don't look at me like that." Meng Ao spread his palms to block Magneto's gaze, "I'm not here to laugh at you or anything, I'm just here to find Emma Frost." Take her home. ”
"Take a mutant? A mutant who once rebelled against you humans with me? Magneto Eric said mockingly.
"Whatever you may say, I have no ill feelings towards aliens who don't oppose me. Don't hit my little report to Nick. The former sentence was said by Meng Ao to Magneto Eric, and the latter sentence was said to Natasha Romanov next to him.
God knows what kind of crankiness this sentence would have in the ears of a suspicious person like Nick Fury without explanation. Even that bit of crankiness could not have had any substantial impact or threat to Meng Ao.
"I rescued William Stryker from her base, I helped her out of her misery, and Emma is still very obedient. So I'm willing to give her a certain amount of trust. ”
Selena, who took advantage of the chaos to blend into the mutant crowd and searched for the White Queen Emma Frost in the stretching camp, muttered in a low voice when she heard Meng Ao's words, and beside her, was the White Queen Emma, who looked a little haggard.
"We should have passed." Selena grabs the arm of White Queen Emma Frost.
If she came alone tonight, it would naturally be impossible to search for the White Queen so easily, even if she was lucky enough to find the White Queen without being noticed by the mutants around her, it would be a poor person with a low success rate to take her away.
Selena is very confident in her strength, but she is not confident enough to avoid the detection of mutants with various abilities, and after being discovered, she will be able to defeat a group of mutants of all levels and escape with the White Queen safely.
When she found the White Queen, the other party was regularly injected with leech potions by Magneto Eric, and he was almost incapacitated, which is equivalent to an ordinary person!
But at present, the leech virus ** is flooding the mutant camp, making the mutants in the camp temporarily lose their abilities, Selena, who was born in the Corvinas blood, can almost be said to be a non-human being. She's not affected by too much of a leech virus** like mutants.
Emma Frost, the White Queen, is a little complicated.
The original Magneto, Eric Lansel, took out the Black Emperor Sebastian Shaw and then became her allegiance to the second master.
But now, the predecessor she once followed has fallen fatefully at the hands of the master she is now loyal to.
It's like an unfinished reincarnation.
The mutants were disarmed, obediently squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and one by one they were methodically injected with leech potions with restraint ability by heavily armed soldiers. At this point, the tide is gone.
Magneto Eric Lansell, who was taken care of by the leech virus, couldn't even turn his body at the moment. Without his ability, the protective layer of metal bones that covered his body clothes became almost like an iron coffin.
When Agent Natasha Romanoff and the others stepped forward to clean up the tails, Hank McCoy, the Minister of Mutant Affairs, walked up to Meng Ao's side: "The professor will try to meet him and ask him to tell him who has worked with him behind his back." If it's an organization as you say, you can contact me in the future when you need it, or O'Monro, the Stormmaiden. ”
"It's not bad." Meng Ao nodded.
Isn't that why he was able to let Magneto go so lightly and bargain with S.H.I.E.L.D. for this? Although Meng Ao believes that Professor X will not go back on his word, Hank McCoy is undoubtedly saying this out of the heart of Amon Ao, and proves to him on behalf of the professor that he has not forgotten his covenant with Meng Ao.
As for Magneto Eric Lansell, he probably won't die, or even be imprisoned as harshly as before. The mutant vaccine will strip Magneto Eric Lanshel of his abilities, turning him into a helpless middle-aged and elderly person.
Such a person, even if he no longer imprisons his freedom, is powerless to do anything more. What's more, there is the supervision of X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. (To be continued......)
