Chapter 720

~5 min read 878 words

"Fear comes from insufficient firepower. If humans possess the ability to counter mutants, and at the same time, there is more than just mutants who are strange, then the attitude toward mutants will naturally change."

There are two main reasons for the difficult situation of mutants.

First is strength: the varied abilities of mutants can easily do things humans cannot. If firepower is insufficient, there will naturally be fear, and naturally, they will think about eliminating the other party.

Second is singularity: this world has no Avengers, no Inhumans, and no ability users other than mutants.

Especially since no one knows which human's genes carry mutant genes, and no one knows what scale mutants will develop into years later.

Naturally, mutants became the only and must-be-dealt-with enemy.

If mutants lived in the same world as the Avengers, Inhumans, etc., as they do in the comics, the overall situation of mutants would be much better, except for individual humans who are hostile to mutants.

Because there are too many people who can destroy humans and destroy the world—so many that only by uniting all forces is it possible to protect the Earth.

Of course, mutants also have to show powerful deterrence and have support from positive organizations or figures like the Avengers.

If some mutants are brought to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to join the Quandou Society, Su Quan is confident that he can let them live freely in the sunshine.

Even become heroes that people pursue and worship!

But in this world, all disasters are related to mutants, so people's impression of mutants will naturally rise from individuals to the race.

So no matter how much Charles Xavier and the X-Men do, people's impression of them is still "mutants!"

Back to the present, Mystique's mind was already a bit shaken.

If there really is such a place that can accept mutants and allow mutants to live freely and without restraint in the sunshine, then whether the ability is eliminated or not is no longer important.

After all, this is an innate ability, and she couldn't truly calmly eliminate it.

What she cares about is not the ability, nor her image, but the eyes and attitude of others when they treat her as if they are looking at a freak.

If she could be treated normally regardless of her identity or image, she naturally wouldn't care.

To put it bluntly, what she cares about is the world, the recognition of the public!

"You, will you still help me eliminate her ability?" Mystique asked.

Su Quan nodded with a smile: "Since I promised, I won't go back on my word."

"Then will you still recruit her?"

"No."

Mystique nodded: "I will make it clear to her; maybe she will change her mind! And even if the ability is to be eliminated, it must wait until the Sebastian Shaw matter is over. After all, losing the ability for no reason will also bring you trouble."

Su Quan nodded: "Fine! However, you caused me to lose an important target, so you have to compensate me..."

"How to compensate?"

"Like this time, occasionally accompany me out for a stroll?"

Mystique was stunned, nodded silently, and whispered: "You, you cannot find me directly; you can only let Raven contact me. I don't want people to know about our relationship."

"Good!"

If she wants to hide her identity, let her continue to hide it; anyway, he knows what's going on.

Moreover, Moira MacTaggert isn't bad, is she?

Two hours later, the two returned to the base and parted ways tacitly.

Returned to their residence.

The White Queen teased him with a mocking tone: "You didn't come back last night, and Raven wasn't at the base either. You guys..."

"Those who know, know!"

"So, is she our person now?"

Su Quan shook his head and told the White Queen about Raven's "sweeping operation" of pretending to be Moira MacTaggert.

After listening, the White Queen couldn't help but giggle, teasing Raven for "losing the lady and the army."

"By the way, under normal circumstances, can a mutant's ability really be eliminated?" She asked curiously.

Su Quan nodded: "It's hard to say on this timeline, but on another timeline, there was a mutant named Jimmy whose codename was 'Cure.' Mutant abilities were ineffective against him, and he could temporarily eliminate the other party's mutant genes when they approached."

"On that timeline, the authorities used him to develop a serum that could eliminate mutant genes, but it wasn't permanent."

The White Queen frowned: "Even if it can't permanently eliminate mutant genes, his ability is also very terrifying. If the authorities design it with intent, they can eliminate any powerful mutant!"

Su Quan said: "This child is very pitiful. Humans used him for research, wanting to eliminate mutants, and mutants, in order not to be eliminated, could only eliminate him."

"He can eliminate the abilities of all mutants, but he alone cannot eliminate his own ability!"

The White Queen replied with a smile: "Only we—no, only you—can save him!"

"There are more mutants on that timeline than on this one. You can go over first to gather the targets you like, and I will find you later."

"To deal with Sebastian Shaw?"

"No, for the first mutant in this world!"
