Chapter 375: Don't Reverse the Future
A new world, a new story, a new experience, without those tribulations and experiences, it is natural to become a 'different' person.
Professor X and Magneto's plan is essentially to sacrifice everyone in exchange for a better world.
If you weren't too desperate to see the slightest hope of defeating the Sentinels and saving the world, you wouldn't want to carry out this plan.
Like now.
Flickering Clarice's accidental travel to another world gives mutants a new hope of survival, but if they have a chance to live, how can they be willing to die?
It's a survival instinct of life.
So, when Professor X and Magneto proposed a plan to go back in time and change the world line, it was not recognized as in the original plot, and everyone was very entangled, wondering if they could find a way to get the best of both worlds.
These things, when talking to Magneto and Wolverine, David knew about them one after another.
Clarice also spoke out about the idea of some mutants, and wanted to ask David, a duke who can connect multiple different worlds, if he can come up with any solution?
"There's nothing too good to do."
Store everyone's memories in a specific tool, and then wait until a new worldline covers the world before letting those people 'retrieve' their memories?
Even so, it only allows 'others' to have 'their own' memories, and it does not mean that these people have been resurrected.
Unless it's like Professor X, the mental power directly seizes control of the body with a lot of things such as memories and personality, but in that case, it is equivalent to killing the original owner directly.
Let's not talk about whether these mutants have that ability, they can't accept this kind of behavior, right?
The only thing that is certain now is that if they are going to send Wolverine Logan back in time to warn their former self, and then avoid the appearance of the Sentinels and create a new world, David can provide some proper protection to ensure that they are not detected and killed by the Sentinels before completing this mission.
"Why are you so enthusiastic about helping us?"
After chatting for a while, Logan and Magneto slowly left the Winter camp with David, and sat in the jeep to slowly visit the rest of Winterfell.
Driving the car all the way to the bank of the vast Winter River and stopping, Logan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly asked the most important question.
"Even if Clarice came to your territory for some special reason, you don't seem to have to care so much about us mutants, do you?"
Logan, who has lived long enough, has seen too many things, he doesn't believe that David wants to save mutants for no reason, and after some conversation, David doesn't act like those so-called saints.
The reason why Logan is a little less vigilant is that David didn't pretend to be the same as a saint, and he behaved normally, so Logan asked directly, instead of directly listing David as an untrustworthy object in his heart.
"Because I want Winterfell to be very strong, and I need to constantly improve the city's population and access to various resources, and mutants are a group of people with special abilities, you should understand what that means."
"Mutants are not weapons."
"There is no right or wrong, right or wrong in the weapon itself." David used the other party's situation as an example: "Is it also wrong for you and your companions to use mutant abilities to fight the sentinels and protect your companions and the remaining ordinary people?" ”
"......" Logan certainly understands this truth, but everyone will say that when Stryker first caught mutants for experiments, he said more beautifully, but what about the result?
No matter how beautiful the slogan is, it is useless, what defines a person is always his actual actions.
For now, David is at least honest enough.
Logan felt a headache, he really didn't want to come to participate in these things, he was not good at this, he took out a cigar and lit it irritably, and then looked directly at Magneto Eric, who had not spoken much.
His meaning is obvious, I'll leave it to you next, I don't have anything to say.
Magneto didn't care about Wolverine's strike, he knew what kind of character this guy was for so many years, and he would come over with Wolverine this time, mainly because Wolverine's immortal body could ensure the safety of several people.
When things aren't right, Wolverine can hold off the enemy and buy Clarice and Eric time to escape.
And Wolverine won't die, so don't worry about him being sacrificed, you can find an opportunity to rescue him later.
So from the very beginning, Wolverine came over to be a bodyguard, and Eric was supposed to be in charge of talking about this kind of thing.
Earlier, Eric didn't speak, and Logan took the initiative to provoke the conversation, and now that we've started talking, please start your show, Magneto.
Eric didn't talk about those pointless topics, he directly asked David how Davy was going to house the mutants if they relocated to Winterfell and became residents of Winterfell.
In Erik's opinion, David is likely to place mutants alone in specific communities, which can avoid conflicts between mutants and ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, David was not ready to do that.
With the exception of the Cybertrons due to their size, he has always treated the various races that come to Winterfell as 'normal'. ’
As long as you are willing to join Winterfall and become a resident of Winterfell, then you can enjoy all the benefits of Winterfell, no different from everyone else.
"No discrimination?"
Luo Gen was not ready to speak, but he still couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard this.
In addition to being surprised, Eric thought that David, the Duke of Winter, didn't know what mutants meant at all: "Mutants will be rejected and even hated by many ordinary people, not only some mutants will change in appearance, but a very important reason is that when mutants awaken their abilities, there is a certain risk of getting out of control." ”
It can be said that the biggest contradiction between mutants and ordinary people is this, and everything else is false, only this is the most critical, because it will really threaten the personal safety of ordinary people.
Because no one likes to come home happily one day, only to find that their house has been blown into ruins because of the superpower awakening of the bear child next door, and even worse, there are still people in the family at that time.
This kind of thing is not unique in the world where mutants live.
Now that David wants to bring mutants to Winterland, how is he going to solve this hidden danger?
Even if the surviving mutants can control their superpowers very well and will not lose control and accidentally hurt ordinary people, but what about the new generation of mutants born after the mutants multiply?
"It's not that hard to solve."
To a certain extent, mutants suddenly gain some superpower because of their own X gene awakening, although this ability is different, but the reason for the loss of control is very simple: suddenly having an extra ability, just like you suddenly have an extra arm or leg, you will definitely be uncomfortable for a while.
But when this ability is obtained, it is not without any signs, and the ability given by the X gene to the host also requires energy, and many times it is directly extracted from cosmic energy, which means that it can be monitored in advance.
Not to mention that David's Winterfell can easily make similar devices, and one of the most critical abilities of the Sentinels is to detect the X gene, and even the X gene that has evolved to the point of being hidden.
"Therefore, as long as the child is sure to have the X gene, then installing a small detection and restriction device on the child can be a good way to prevent bad things from happening."
According to Davy, this restriction device is not to deprive mutants of their abilities, but to 'weaken', and mutants like Cyclops, who directly use energy, can use this device to drastically reduce their power output.
If it is some mutants who have just awakened their abilities, once they are suppressed by this kind of equipment, they may not be able to use their abilities, and naturally they will not pose a threat to the ordinary people around them. Even if it is a powerful ability, it will not cause too much harm after being suppressed.
"This suppression amplitude can be adjusted constantly, and it is also a device for mutants to learn how to use and control their abilities correctly."
"Sounds good, Winterfell can make such a device?"
"It's not hard."
Winterfell is a collection of many cosmic civilization technologies, Cybertron technologies, and a lot of alchemy and magic knowledge in the Marvel Universe, plus all kinds of strange materials, and it is not difficult to make this kind of thing.
After continuing to talk for a while, David realized that Magneto was gradually leaning towards Winterfell.
After all, his plan with Professor X was to save the world, but it was no different from destroying the world, and Magneto began to waver after discovering that he could save the existing mutants in a real sense.
Especially when I learned that Winterfell's technological reserves are not as 'medieval' as they seem on the surface, and there are a large number of advanced technologies at the level of cosmic civilizations, including genetic adjustment and optimization technology, which can not only allow mutants to better master superpowers, but also eliminate some of the 'side effects', and even make mutants more powerful.
This is obviously a brighter future, so bright that Magneto has a crooked mind.
However, he was keenly aware that he was no match for the Duke of Winter, and the feeling of oppression coming from the other party made him feel frightened.
Realizing the huge power gap between the two sides, Magneto decisively gave up the dangerous idea, and began to pay attention to how to lead the mutants on this new bright path.
Being able to help compatriots choose the right path can also be regarded as a contribution to the mutants.
Now, the big question for Magneto is, how do you convince your old friends to abandon the plan they had made earlier? Come to Winterfell together and try to build a true future for the surviving mutants.
"I may need some time to have a good talk with my old friend."
