Chapter 130: Evolutionary Instruments
The headquarters of the Mutant Brotherhood.
Magneto, as the president of the Mutant Brotherhood, is dressed very differently at this time than when he was in Congress.
Wearing a brown helmet and a helmet-colored cloak draped over his shoulders, he sat in his seat and gently tapped his fingers on the armrests of the seat.
Da! Da! Dada!
A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes is directing six workers to install a metal instrument in the shape of a huge ring.
The other members of the Brotherhood stood silently behind Magneto, waiting for them to finish their work.
"How long will it take?" Magneto asked the man in the suit.
The man in the suit said with a miserable face, "It's done, honorable Lord Magneto." ”
The man in the suit is named Jasons, and he found the location of the headquarters of the Mutant Brotherhood a month ago.
He claims to be an admirer of Magneto, and says he wants to contribute a device to Magneto that can turn ordinary people into mutants.
Magneto got up from his seat, controlled the magnetic field around him, flew to the side of the instrument, and gently stroked the cold metal ring.
"This device, as you say, can allow humans to evolve into mutants?"
Jasons still had a flattering look on his face and said in a very flattering tone, "Of course, Your Excellency Magneto. ”
"This instrument is made just for you!"
"With this instrument, combined with your superpowers, you can easily turn a human into a mutant."
"And the method used is very simple, you just need to stand in the middle of the ring and unleash your superpowers."
"You can change the magnetic field around the ring, and you can activate the mutant genes of humans within the magnetic field."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Magneto asked again, "What are the side effects of using this instrument?" ”
Jasons' face looked a little surprised, and he said with a little guilt:
"Now this instrument is not perfect, every time you use it, you will be drained of all your strength, which will make you very weak for a short period of time."
"If the instrument needs to cover too much area, it can cause you inevitable harm."
Magneto nodded and waved his right hand.
The metal floor instantly detached from the ground, forming a huge box that encased the entire instrument.
The metal crate containing the instrument slowly levitated and flew towards the collection chamber of the Mutant Brotherhood headquarters.
"I'm very pleased with your gift."
Jason Slick smiled and said, "It's my pleasure to serve you. ”
"I know you're struggling with the mutant registration bill."
"In the near future, there will be a United Nations summit in New York to discuss the mutant registration bill."
"You just need to use this instrument then and turn heads of state into mutants."
"Then not only will you solve the problem of the mutant registration bill, but you will also be able to directly meet your expectations."
A metal ball hovered in front of Jasons.
Jasons gently pinched the ball with his hand and looked at Magneto suspiciously.
Magneto: "Your suggestion is great, and I'll consider it seriously." ”
"I also have a gift for you."
Knowing that the orb was a gift, Jasons smiled with satisfaction.
Just as he was about to say thanks, the ball instantly turned into metal dust and entered his body from Jasons' facial features.
For a split second, Jasons felt like he couldn't breathe anymore.
Blood flowed from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and he knelt on the ground in pain, and stretched out a trembling hand to Magneto.
For... Why...?
Magneto looked at Jasons with an indifferent expression, and there was no trace of emotion on his cold face.
"If you're not Hydra, I really don't want to kill you."
Knowing the reason, the doubt on Jasons' face disappeared and he shouted frantically: "Long live the Hydra!! ”
Jasons fell to the ground in a state of gas, and with him came six members of Hydra, trying to escape and be killed by the other mutants in the Brotherhood of Mutants.
After defeating one of the Hydra members, the Demonic Girl walks over to Magneto's side.
"That little girl who can absorb other people's superpowers has hid in the mutant academy, is she going to rob people?"
Magneto shook his head: "Before we clash with Charles head-on, let's ask Councilor Kelly to help us experiment with this evolutionary instrument." ”
"As the initiator and biggest proponent of the mutant registration bill, he deserves this honor."
……
Mutant Academy.
Again, Professor X took a closer look at Clark.
Clarke's information in the press and media stated that he only had divine powers when he had the hammer.
Now, however, Clarke's hands are empty.
This means that even without a hammer, he still possesses some strength, at least in terms of mind, much stronger than ordinary people and most mutants.
It may even be stronger than yourself.
Professor X chuckled, feeling that he was now too confused by appearances.
"Mr. Clark, are you a mutant?"
"Mutants!" Clark pushed his glasses and thought for a moment, "Sort of." ”
In the X-Men worldview, mutants mainly refer to humans whose mutant genes awaken and thus gain superpowers.
However, in the broader concept, as long as a person has superior strength over humans, he can be called a mutant.
So even people like Dr. Banner and Lighthouse Captain Steve, who have gained super abilities because of external forces, are all mutants.
It seems to be a mutant in the subjective sense, and it is also stimulated by external factors to awaken the mutant gene, so as to obtain superpowers.
In this way, Banner and Steve are both mutants in the strict sense of the word
On the contrary, he and Thor are not mutants.
"You're honest." Professor X.
Clark waved his hand, "If I lie, or I don't answer." Don't you know the correct answer too? ”
As a psychic mutant, Professor X is able to probe the minds of others with ease.
Even without using his abilities, he can easily tell whether a person is telling the truth or a lie.
Of course, Professor X is also well aware that even if a person tells the truth, it does not mean that it is the truth.
"We don't have to talk around the bush, what is the purpose of your coming to the Mutant Academy?"
Clark replied, "Let the Mutant Academy and the Avengers work together, and if I can, I'd like the X-Men to join the Avengers directly." ”
Professor X: "I can have the Mutant Academy work with the Avengers, but I can't join the Avengers on behalf of the X-Men. ”
Clark felt a little puzzled and asked, "Why?" Haven't you always wanted mutants to be able to live in peace with humans? ”
"Lighthouse Captain Steve Rogers, he's also a mutant. What kind of position he has in the hearts of mankind, I believe you also know. ”
"Let the X-Men join the Avengers as superheroes. Isn't that a quicker way to meet your expectations? ”
Professor X turns his wheelchair and faces himself at the mutant students who are giggling on campus.
"Humans can't accept mutants because they're afraid of mutants."
"Mutants are also afraid of humans, so it is impossible for them to directly become superheroes to protect humans."
"Bringing humans and mutants to peaceful coexistence is a two-way quest that can never be achieved by one side working for it."
