Chapter 2609: New Xanadu (Part 3)

On January 1, 1946, the New Republic of the New Xanadu announced its establishment to countries around the world, inviting over 150 countries, including China, the US, and the Soviet Union, to attend the ceremony, and publicly stated that this was the first mutant regime in human history and would forever be a utopia for all mutants globally.

Countries receiving this news had different expressions.

They soon realized they had been played, because according to the original plan, this group of mutants would die or be injured, then completely split, and would never be able to unite again, let alone build a nation.

And now, let alone casualties, they seemed to be living very well, and could even show off by publishing a nation-building announcement.

That's right, in the eyes of all countries, this announcement was showing off, for no other reason than this name.

In fact, many people had imagined what the country name would be after mutants built a nation. Opinions were not unified, but there was one thing everyone agreed on: it would definitely start with X.

By this time, everyone already knew what the X-gene was. Many mutant organizations were named after X, and many mutants gave themselves code names starting with X. As soon as mutants were mentioned, this X was in everyone's mind.

But they never expected it to be Xanadu.

From the spelling of this word, one could see it didn't look much like English. Words ending in 'u' in English were very few, so this looked like a loanword no matter how you looked at it.

Loanwords in English could be said to be the most numerous, but this one was particularly different because it was transliterated. Its original word was "Shangdu," that's right, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.

This word had now become a synonym for a paradise in English, but it originally referred to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. This word was also introduced to Europe via China.

And as everyone knew, the ancestors of the Yuan Dynasty also had a very elegant alias in Europe—"Scourge of God."

This could simply be called naked mockery, but other countries could only choose to swallow their teeth and swallow them into their stomachs. After all, it was they who drove the mutants out, and now they couldn't call them back.

However, they certainly wouldn't let Erik be so arrogant. Within a few hours of the announcement, no one responded, as if the whole world had a blackout. This wave was a brand-new American-style bullying.

But soon they were slapped hard again. The second announcement was sent directly into their brains by Charles.

What did this mean?

It meant that the conflicts between him and Erik were all acted out. These two guys had colluded from the beginning, playing governments around the world in the palm of their hands.

But it really couldn't be blamed on their conspiracy being too brilliant; it was just that this world was a huge amateur stage.

Most politicians wanted to drive mutants out not from any world situation, but because they only looked at their own little patch of land and didn't want these ticking time bombs to cause them trouble on their turf.

Most politicians thought this way: I'll take this opportunity to send these ticking time bombs away, but as long as someone doesn't send them, wouldn't I be better than him? There would always be someone who wouldn't send them.

But they didn't expect that everyone thought this way.

So mutants all over the world were almost scraped clean. Millions of mutants were sent to the same place in just a few months, leaving Erik and the mutants in China waiting there in a flurry for quite a while.

However, the advantage was that they did indeed gather a large amount of vital force in a short time, which could be considered a powerful army that could not be ignored internationally.

Although there were not many Omega-level mutants, there were quite a few Alpha-level mutants. Although not every one of them was a strategic-level mutant like Erik and Charles, they were one against ten thousand when fighting ordinary people, and most of them were fearless of modern weapons.

There were also quite a few ordinary Beta-level mutants, basically all capable of participating in combat, but more skilled in front-line advancement and camp construction. But no matter what, in the late World War II, they were much stronger than those camels that were about to starve to death.

Epsilon-level mutants occupied the majority. After consultation with China, many Epsilon-level mutants with defects chose to settle in China. The Chinese government would formulate disability subsidies and anti-discrimination plans for them in the future, and this group of people also helped China with post-war recovery.

There was also a small portion whose symptoms were not very severe and who had their own feelings for the mutant utopia, choosing to stay. Anyway, it was a hard life everywhere for now, so it was better to be on their own turf, at least they wouldn't be looked down upon.

Just like that, the situation gradually stabilized. When the founding ceremony of the New Xanadu nation was held, basically no countries came. Britain, France, the Soviet Union, the US, and Germany didn't come, but Erik and Charles didn't mind, busy recuperating and carrying out infrastructure construction on the three islands.

Soon, the new China ushered in its founding ceremony, and other countries, no matter how unwilling, had to hold their noses and shake hands and chat with Erik.

How wicked and happy this behavior of shitting on someone's head and making them carve flowers in the shit was.

The original four islands at least supported nearly 100 million people. Even if there were only three islands left now, after the reclamation by so many supermen for several years, supporting these millions of people was not a problem.

At the same time, the New Xanadu nation, under China's guidance, also established contact with many third-world countries and gradually repaired relations with the US and the Soviet Union, and the world situation tended to stabilize.

During this period, the New Xanadu nation gradually signed agreements with various major powers, mainly regarding the issue of mutant extradition. Most signed were two-way agreements, meaning that mutants would have dual nationality after birth and could move freely between the two countries, following the principle of territoriality in legal aspects, with neither side interfering with the other's trials.

This also reduced many cases of mutant loss of control in the world, because scientific research showed that stable emotions were more conducive to the balance of mutant abilities. Now that mutants were not at the end of their rope, the vast majority still had a way out to immigrate to the New Xanadu nation, so there were fewer times they rose up in resistance and more times they silently ran away.

However, Erik and Charles were still trying to unite mutants globally. Of course, this also included some means of provoking conflicts between mutants and ordinary people, because only in this way could mutants gather more toward the New Xanadu nation.

But overall, the world still passed nearly 40 years steadily. Except for the Cold War in the middle that made people feel a bit cold on their backs, in the end, with the crashing fall of the Far Eastern beast, only two high mountains remained in the whole world.

During this period, Anya, because of congenital insufficiency and several twists and turns, eventually passed away. Fortunately, Erik had long been prepared and, together with Charles, saved her brain waves and stored them forever in his own mental world.

Later, Erik married another Gypsy woman, but Erik himself was not a person very suitable for marriage, so this relationship also ended without a result. The born Wanda and Pietro siblings were not raised at Erik's knees, but followed their mother back to her maiden home.

However, after all, Erik had raised Anya with his own hands until she was 6 years old, which was a very great achievement. Considering that this was originally a frail and sickly child, the mother was not by her side, and the world was in turmoil, this could simply be called hell-level difficulty, but Erik still did it, which made him experience a long-lost miracle.

Parents who have had the experience of raising children might have some sighs. Raising a human being from scratch is simply the greatest action in this world. There are too many things to test, so much so that it can fundamentally change a person. Erik was like this.

Although he was still not so likable, family affection carried more weight in his heart. So although he still divorced Wanda and Pietro's mother, the two lived apart and were far apart, Erik would occasionally write letters to his children, and after Wanda and Pietro became adults, he brought them to the New Xanadu nation to receive education in the northern island high school.

Wanda and Pietro still couldn't get along with Erik. Their personalities didn't match, and it was hard to stay together for a long time. The two had been living at school since they started high school.

However, perhaps distance made beauty, and Erik on this timeline was also a little more normal. They didn't get to the point of treating each other like enemies, just staying together as silent as ever.

Later, Erik gave birth to Polaris with a woman he only had a one-night stand with. This youngest daughter also couldn't be raised by his side, but was taken by her mother to live with her stepfather.

Biological mothers had a natural advantage in fighting for custody, and Erik's reputation had always been not very good. This president of the New Xanadu nation was praised and criticized. Erik, who failed to fight for custody again, felt very sad, but fortunately, Polaris's mother and stepfather were very good to her. Erik occasionally called her, and the two had a pretty good relationship.

Later, Polaris's ability lost control, leading to a plane crash. Her mother and stepfather died at the same time, so Erik took her back. But Polaris had long passed the soft and cute little girl stage. As soon as she arrived by Erik's side, she was in a rebellious phase. Erik was angered to death by her three times a day on average.

But overall, his relationship with his three children was kept pretty well. Wanda and Pietro, who gradually grew up and received education, also began to accept the government affairs of the New Xanadu nation.

The siblings obviously had no talent in this regard. Wanda wanted to go home to have children and raise children every day, and Pietro was always a child, wanting to run out to play every day. Instead, Polaris was occasionally quick-spoken, revealing full political talent. Charles thought she might be the first female president of the mutant nation in history.

After entering the 21st century, the contradictions between Eastern countries and Western countries began to ease. The New Xanadu nation, this young Eastern country, also began to socialize actively, wanting to obtain international status like Wakanda.

Professor X took the lead in leaving, crossing the ocean to come to the United States to establish the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, helping to balance the mutant relations in the United States. The laboratory of the New Xanadu nation also had cooperation with Europe, mainly in the fields of medicine and new energy.

Later, the era of space exploration opened. China and the New Xanadu nation both realized that their opportunity had come. Mutants with powerful abilities should not be content with a corner.

In the end, under the promotion of many parties, they finally had a broader stage, becoming the first vanguard for humans to explore the infinite universe. ===== CHAPTER 2610 =====
