Chapter 2617 Mayfly World (7)
Chapter 2617 Mayfly World (Seventeen)
When Martin attempted a sacrifice before, he received a response from Quetzalcoatl and could communicate with Him through some vague sensations, but perhaps because there were some problems with the Aztec pantheon, this communication was always intermittent.
Schiller and his friends bought tickets and queued up to visit the Great Pyramid, but things turned out to be more complicated than they had imagined because there were too many tourists in the pyramid and it was obviously impossible to take action at this time.
So they agreed to come back at night. During the day, they just visited the pyramids and figured out the general route. Then they left this magnificent building.
There is still some time before the Great Pyramid closes at dark, so Schiller decides to solve the problem with the mutants first. He decides to meet with Magneto, but asks Martin which restaurant is farthest from the city, and preferably in the middle of the desert.
This problem stumped Martin. Most of the restaurants acceptable to tourists were concentrated in one area, which was the most prosperous. There were restaurants in remote areas, but most of them were local restaurants opened by locals. The decoration was not very good and the dishes were too local.
But at Schiller's strong request, Martin asked several people and finally found a decent restaurant in the suburbs of Mexico City.
This restaurant is located on the way to the Great Pyramids and also provides services to tourists, so it is quite good. At the same time, it is far from any other village or shop, and the surrounding environment is relatively empty.
Martin still didn't understand why Schiller was looking for such a place, but they entered the restaurant on the way back, and Schiller sent the address to Magneto.
Magneto did not come alone, he brought a group of people, including mutants from the Brotherhood. But when he saw that Schiller only brought one person, he seemed a little surprised.
But Magneto still said nothing. He walked over and sat down opposite Schiller. He looked at Clark with eagle-like eyes, but didn't see anything special from his appearance.
Mystique did notice that Clark was particularly handsome.
Clark gave the old man in front of him a bright smile, so bright that Magneto recalled many memories of him and Charles when they were young. He was the worst at dealing with this kind of person.
"Hello sir, my name is Clark Kent."
Magneto looked at Clark carefully again, and then realized, isn't this Superman?
He didn't react at first because this Clark looked different from the Superman he had seen in the fighting world before, his temperament was different, and he was younger.
He remembered that this was a superhero from another universe, and he was a repeater who could only talk about Batman. This guy could farm?
There was a hint of doubt in Magneto's eyes, but Schiller did not lead the topic to farming. Instead, he said, "My two friends have done quite a lot in Mexico. When they heard about the situation of the mutants in this universe, they were very curious."
"But I'm not a mutant after all, so I don't know much about your specific history. It would be great if you could tell him about it."
Magneto looked at Schiller with sidelong eyes. If he had known there would be such a thing, he would have brought Charles here. He is not a good storyteller.
Luckily his old partner wasn't one to have to come over to tell stories to others, and Magneto whispered a few words before a gentle voice rang in Clark's ears, it was Professor X's voice.
Clark was initially startled, but soon expressed curiosity about this ability. He took the initiative to use his mental power to connect with the other party's mental power, and Magneto heard a cry of surprise from Professor X.
As expected, it should be Professor X who was dazzled. Magneto had long discovered that the magnetic field around the young man opposite was very wrong. Those should be the fluctuations emitted by his mental power. It can be imagined how powerful his mental energy is.
But soon Professor X got used to it all, and he transferred some of his memories to Clark, which were the fates of many mutants that Professor X had witnessed, and they were usually not very good.
Although the Brotherhood of Mutants led by Magneto are real terrorists, it is also a fact that the vast majority of mutants in this world are persecuted.
School bullying and workplace bullying are common among ordinary people who are not much different from each other, let alone those who can be seen to be different at first glance?
Among mutants, those with positive abilities are actually a minority, and the vast majority are more like mutants than mutants.
Take Beast, the teacher at Xavier's School for Gifted Children, for example. His mutation is completely negative, but he has a very high IQ and is able to do scientific research. He also has a very good personality, so he is very popular with teachers and students, and is Charles' right-hand man.
But many mutants do not have his IQ, but have similar mutations to him, some have red, yellow, blue or green skin, some have wild beast hair on their bodies, some have a pair of large fangs and cannot eat normally, and some have wild beast claws and cannot grasp at all.
This kind of appearance abnormality is still considered good. Some people have another eyeball growing behind their eyeball and have to undergo surgery to remove it. Some people are born with hip reversal and have to lie in bed for the rest of their lives.
The mutation of gene X is so uncontrollable that it is more like a disease than a blessing to humans.
Even a mutant as powerful as Magneto was unable to control his mutant abilities when he first felt them as a child. The dizzying feeling of being able to hear the pulse of the earth anytime and anywhere and the strange feeling as if he had grown countless other organs left him with a lifelong shadow.
Even as a child, Charles heard too many bad human voices at an age when he shouldn't have been exposed to such information.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the X gene is a curse for mankind. This group has no sense of collective honor at all. The vast majority of mutants resent this gene in their bodies. They themselves are calling for the killing of their own kind. What else can we expect?
Therefore, mutants living in other parts of the world have long suffered very harsh persecution. If it weren't for the emergence of Magneto and Charles, people's scientific research would be more likely to go towards completely eliminating the X gene rather than using it.
In fact, Schiller speculated that a certain Eastern country should have conducted similar research at this time, but it was not announced for the sake of social stability. However, eliminating these bad X genes will be the trend.
The only problem is that if this drug can work on all mutants, then a trend of forced injection will definitely emerge, and these powerful mutants will not resign themselves to their fate, and by then the conflict will be irreversible.
All that Magneto and Professor X are doing now is to ensure that once a conflict breaks out, they will have another option besides perishing along with the Earth.
Mutants cannot perish together with the Earth because they come from ordinary people. Exterminating ordinary people is equivalent to exterminating themselves. But they are unwilling to perish like this. If they can't be defeated, can't they just run away?
Clark, who had seen these memories, had obviously thought of the same thing. He shook his head with a serious expression and said, "This is a rather difficult question. I think you are on the right track, but you are moving too fast."
Clark's super brain was working rapidly. He said, "You haven't solved any problems of mutants on Earth. You just moved them to another galaxy. Then the problems between them will still exist. Eventually, the problems of mutants on Earth will become the problems of mutants in the Andromeda Galaxy. Nothing has changed."
"And if you only want powerful mutants and don't care about the weak ones, then a utopia that truly belongs to mutants will never exist, and you will not be able to truly lead all the powerful mutants."
"But to solve the problem of mutants on Earth, we still have to call for anti-discrimination. But you have been calling for it for so many years and it is useless. Why don't you think about the reason?"
"If you ask me, I think some of your destructive actions and verbal advocacy are still only effective against those powerful mutants. The government realizes that mutants with powerful abilities can threaten them, so they will naturally show some respect."
"But the government also knows that the vast majority of mutants don't have this ability. If that's the case, why should they care about discrimination?"
"This has resulted in the situation of the vast majority of mutants remaining unchanged. They are still in dire straits, but your actions have let them know that you are capable of saving them. Now you only have two choices left: either abandon them completely or save them. Which one are you going to choose?"
Magneto's expression did not change at all. He had actually made the decision long ago. He didn't want to care about these disabled mutants at all.
He believed that Ipsilon-class and Omega-class mutants were not the same species at all, and there was no need for him to care about these people who were born with defects. He only needed to gather all the Omega-class mutants with powerful abilities to build his own civilization, and there would be no place for these trash in this civilization.
Professor X's attitude towards this is more neutral. He believes that the resources obtained by powerful mutants should also be used to take care of these mutants with congenital defects.
But in fact, they both have the same attitude, that the mutant civilization does not include these disabled mutants.
Some people may think this is completely inhumane.
Humans do regard mutual assistance as a virtue, and taking care of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled in the group is a reflection of the inclusive nature of the community.
But the mutants are not one old, weak, sick or disabled among ten people, but only about three or four among ten people are not old, weak, sick or disabled, and there is probably only one strong person above the average among ten thousand people.
As for a super-powerful person like Magneto, there is only one among the world's current population of tens of millions plus the millions of the previous generation.
In this situation, it is not a matter of relying on kindness to help the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled. To save others is like Yugong moving the mountain. It is not four horses pulling one person, but one horse pulling a building.
If they still have the spare capacity, they would not object to using some resources to help these compatriots who are lagging behind, but now they are in dire straits themselves and they certainly cannot help.
Magneto wanted to speak his mind, but was stopped by Professor X. Professor X used a more gentle method to explain to Clark the principle of the birth of mutants, the approximate data so far, and their current situation.
Then Clark asked a soul-searching question, "Can the union of powerful mutants definitely produce a powerful mutant?"
