Chapter 230: The Ins and Outs
"Tell me, why did Magneto kill Wanda even if he didn't hesitate to destroy the world."
Cyber looked at the old bald head in front of him, and said, "I have already asked Alita to check, the two of them have not had any intersection before, let alone hatred, and even Wanda doesn't know each other at all." ”
"I have a small request before answering this question."
Faced with the black-haired man's question, Charles did not rush to answer, but sincerely looked at the round-faced woman beside the other party: "Child, can you show your strength here?" ”
Hearing this request, the little witch immediately cast a quiring glance at the man next to her.
"No question."
Seeing that the other party nodded, he agreed.
As the words fell, a little scarlet light lit up from his palm, and soon a faint scarlet light curtain formed over the long table.
Seeing this special scarlet energy, the faces of the X-Men present all changed, staring at the woman who released this energy.
Feeling the unkind gaze of Scott, Colossus, and Bobby, Wanda decisively stopped the movement in her hand and subconsciously leaned towards Cyber's side.
Sensing the little witch's uneasiness, and casting a reassuring look at her, Cyber glared back viciously: "What do you see! ”
Hearing this, the X-Men's eyes turned to the black-haired man.
Although Scott and the others didn't say it directly, the meaning was obvious, that is, 'look at you'!
"Scott! She's not her, don't let anger take your place of reason. ”
Slamming the wooden table to stop everyone, Charles said slowly, "It's a long story. ”
"Long story short."
In the '80s, after a failed operation against the White House and the Pentagon, Eric had to travel to Europe to escape the limelight.
During his travels, he inadvertently rescues a pair of young mutant siblings who are mistaken for the Devil's Son by the local villagers and are about to be burned to death by them. ”
Ten fingers crossed on the table, Charles: "What are the names of the siblings, I think you have guessed too." ”
"Wanda Maksimov."
"Petero."
Cyber and the little witch whispered one after another.
That's right, the two of them joined Eric's mutant brotherhood in return the favor, but neither of them realized that the other was their own relatives at the time.
Later, a mutant with the ability to identify biological kinship inadvertently identified the trio's kinship and informed them of the news. ”
With a kind smile on his face, Charles continued: "Eric was originally a lifesaver for their siblings, and after learning that the other party was their father, the two of them regarded Eric as the most trustworthy person.
It was also the most harmonious period of time for the three of them. ”
Then, with the full help of the two, Eric borrowed his radical idea of mutant supremacy, and absorbed more and more oppressed mutants in Europe, and the power of the Brotherhood grew stronger.
Speaking of this, Charles's face sank: "At the same time, the number of mutants in the world is also increasing rapidly, and the probability of X gene awakening in ordinary people is getting higher and higher.
During World War II, there were only about 100,000 mutants in the world, but by the end of the eighties, the total number of mutants in the world had exceeded one million, and it was still increasing rapidly. ”
"Then the contradiction arises."
Lorna raised an eyebrow and affirmed.
Although she doesn't learn much history, she is still familiar with this history that is closely related to her.
Nodding, Charles: "During that period, everyone thought that mutants were superior beings, the future of mankind, and a big step in the evolution of mankind.
But each big change breaks the pattern of the old world and brings a new world. ”
With a narrowing of his eyes, Cyber said lightly: "The essence of racial contradictions is class contradictions. ”
A very interesting sentence that goes straight to the essence. The elite of the human elite and society fear that mutants will take their place and seize their rights, while ordinary people fear being stolen by mutants for their social resources.
Therefore, those politicians who are good at playing with public opinion have invariably set off an anti-mutant movement in order to consolidate their own power position and even drag more benefits. ”
With a word of praise, Charles's gaze gradually became distant: "As the leader of the mutant brotherhood, Eric certainly will not choose to bow his head and admit defeat and begin to lead the radical mutants to fight against humanity.
With his banner, more and more radical mutants spontaneously joined the Brotherhood, and emotions began to catalyze each other, and many mutants who had been oppressed by ordinary people for many years became more and more extreme, and finally these people even began to attack innocent civilians to create terrorist attacks. ”
Therefore, the contradiction between mutants and human beings has further intensified, and many radical organizations have emerged in human society with the aim of exterminating mutants, some civil and some official.
For example, the Sentinel Service and Trask Industries that you destroyed some time ago are all products left over from that time, and there are still many such organizations hidden in human society. ”
Charles sighed helplessly: "During this period, Wanda also gradually discovered Eric's radical ideas, even including the idea of destroying all mankind and creating a world where there are only mutants, and finally took Pietro out of the Brotherhood.
After escaping Eric's men, she took Pietro and hid in a small town to live an ordinary life. ”
"But the good times didn't last long?"
Cyber had almost guessed what was going to happen next.
"That's right, it didn't last long. In order to save a young boy, Wanda has to use her abilities in front of ordinary people, revealing her mutant identity.
After learning the true face of the two siblings, the neighbors who had a very good relationship began to look at her coldly and speak ill of her, and even some extremists even wanted to arrest her and burn her to death in the church, just like she did when she was a child. ”
Charles was already completely lost in his memory: "Eric also found her traces and tried to forcibly bring them back, but fortunately I arrived in time with the X-Men and stopped them.
Later, the siblings briefly joined the X-Men and helped others with us, but the more good they did, the more they did not feel any kindness, and they received more and more cold eyes, and the frustrated siblings chose to quit the X-Men and wanted to return to a peaceful life again. ”
"The Inferior Nature of Humanity."
Alita said coldly.
But Eric, who had been keeping an eye on their movements, finally waited for his chance and ambushed the two siblings and took Wanda captive. At the same time, Eric builds a machine that amplifies Wanda's abilities in order to eliminate all the rebels at once. ”
But Wanda's body can't withstand so much energy, and once this machine starts, not only humans will be hit hard, but Wanda will also die of exhaustion. ”
Charles exhaled, his face becoming more serious: "Pyro woke up and asked us for help, and we went together to stop Eric, but unfortunately there was not enough time.
In order to save his sister, Pietro exploded with unprecedented speed, and was killed by Eric after exhaustion.
Eventually, Wanda's emotions collapsed. ”
Thinking of what happened to her brother a few days ago, the little witch felt the same way, and said hatefully: "I can understand her feelings. ”
"She attributed the tragedy of her life to her mutant identity, and then ......"
Glancing at the other party, Charles's face was full of fear: "She said three words. ”
Cyber was curious: "What are the three words?" ”
"No more mutants."
