Chapter 2616: Mayfly World (Part 17)

Martin had received a response from the Feathered Serpent when he tried to sacrifice before, and could communicate with Him through some vague induction, but perhaps because the Aztec god system had some problems, this communication was always intermittent.

Schiller and the others bought tickets and queued to visit the Great Jin Zita, but things were more complicated than they 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 pyramid and figured out the general route, and several people left this magnificent building.

There was still some time before the Great Jin Zita closed at night. Schiller decided to solve the problem of the mutants first. He decided to meet Magneto, but asked Martin which restaurant was furthest from the city, preferably in the middle of the desert.

This question stumped Martin. Most restaurants that tourists could accept were gathered in one area, which was the most prosperous. There were also restaurants in remote areas, but most were local restaurants opened by locals, the decoration was really not very good, and the dishes were too local.

But under Schiller's strong request, Martin asked several people before finally finding a decent restaurant in the suburbs of Mexico City.

This restaurant was on the way to the Great Jin Zita and also provided services for tourists, so it was not bad. At the same time, it was in the middle of nowhere, and the surrounding environment was relatively open.

Martin still didn't understand why Schiller wanted to find such a place, but they entered this restaurant on the way back, and Schiller sent the address to Magneto.

Magneto didn't come alone. He brought a group of people, also mutants, the group from the Brotherhood of Mutants, but seeing that Schiller only brought one, he was a bit surprised.

But Magneto still said nothing, walked to the opposite side of Schiller, and sat down. He looked at Clark with eagle-like eyes, but didn't see anything special from his appearance.

Mystique saw it, Clark was particularly handsome.

Clark gave a bright smile to the old man in front of him, so bright that it reminded Magneto of many memories when he and Charles were young. He was least good at dealing with such people.

"Hello, sir, my name is Clark Kent."

Magneto looked at Clark carefully again, and then realized, isn't this Superman?

He didn't react for a while because this Clark looked a bit different from the Superman he had seen in Battleworld before, and his temperament was also different, and he was younger.

He remembered that this was a superhero from another universe, and he was a repeater who only talked about Batman. Could this guy farm?

A trace of doubt flowed in Magneto's eyes, but Schiller didn't lead the topic to farming, but said, "My two friends have made quite a career in Mexico. When they heard about the situation of mutants in this universe, they felt very curious."

"However, I am not a mutant after all, and I don't know your specific history very well. If you could tell him, it would be great."

Magneto looked at Schiller with slanted eyes. If he had known there was such a link, he would have brought Charles. He was not a person good at telling stories.

Fortunately, his old partner was not a person who had to come over to tell stories to others. Magneto said a few words in a low voice, and a gentle voice sounded in Clark's ear. It was Professor X's voice.

Clark was startled at first, but soon expressed curiosity about this ability. He took the initiative to connect his mental power with the other party's mental power, and Magneto heard an exclamation from Professor X's side.

If nothing unexpected, it should be Professor X who was dazzled by the light. Magneto had long discovered that the magnetic field around this young man was very wrong. That should be the fluctuation of his mental power. It was conceivable how powerful his mental energy was.

But soon Professor X adapted to all this. He transmitted some of his memories to Clark, which were the fate trajectories of many mutants that Professor X had seen with his own eyes. They were usually not very good.

Although the Brotherhood of Mutants led by Magneto was a real terrorist organization, it was also a fact that the vast majority of mutants in this world suffered persecution.

Bullying in schools and workplaces was common among ordinary people who were not much different, let alone those who could see the difference at a glance?

In fact, mutants with positive abilities were a minority. Most of them were not mutants, but mutants.

Take Beast, a teacher at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, for example. His mutation was completely negative, but he had a high IQ to do scientific research, and his personality was particularly good, so he was very popular with teachers and students, and was also Charles's right-hand man.

But many mutants didn't have his IQ, but they were mutated similarly. Either their skin color was red, yellow, blue, or green, or they had wild hair on their bodies, or they had a pair of big fangs, which made it impossible to eat normally, and some had wild claws, which made it impossible to grasp.

This kind of appearance abnormality was still okay. Some had another eyeball behind their eyeballs and had to undergo surgery to remove it. Some were born with hip joint inversion and could only lie in hospital beds for the rest of their lives.

The mutation of the X-gene was too uncontrollable. For humans, this was more like a disease than a gift.

Even Charles in his childhood heard too many bad human thoughts at an age that should not have received such information.

So it was no exaggeration to say that the X-gene was a curse on humanity. This group had no collective honor at all. The vast majority of mutants hated the gene in their bodies very much. They shouted and killed their own kind, so what could be expected?

So mutants living in other parts of the world had suffered very severe persecution for a long time. If it weren't for Magneto and Charles appearing, the direction of scientific research would be easier to move toward completely eliminating the X-gene, rather than using them.

In fact, Schiller guessed that a certain Eastern power should have similar research at this time, but it was not announced out of consideration for social stability, but eliminating these bad X-genes would be the trend.

The only problem was that if this drug could act on all mutants, the trend of mandatory injection would definitely blow up, and these powerful mutants would not listen to fate. By then, the contradiction would never be saved.

Magneto and Professor X were doing all this now to have another choice besides perishing with the Earth once the contradiction broke out.

Mutants could not perish with the Earth because they came from ordinary people. Exterminating ordinary people was equivalent to exterminating themselves, but they were not reconciled to perishing like this. Can't they run if they can't beat them?

Clark, who had seen these memories, obviously thought of these, and he shook his head seriously and said, "This is a very difficult problem. I think you are on a correct path, but you are in too much of a hurry."

Clark's super brain was running fast. He said, "You haven't solved any problems of mutants on Earth, just moved them to another galaxy. Then the problems that existed between them still exist. In the end, 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, but don't care about the weak ones, then a utopia that truly belongs to mutants will never exist, and you will never be able to truly lead all powerful mutants."

"But to solve the problems of mutants on Earth, you still have to call for opposition to discrimination. But you have called for so many years and it hasn't worked. Why don't you think about the reasons?"

"If I have to say it, I think some of your destructive actions and verbal advocacy are still only effective for those powerful mutants. The government realizes that mutants with powerful abilities can threaten them, so they will naturally be more respectful."

"But the government also knows that the vast majority of mutants don't have this ability. Since this is the case, why should they care about discrimination incidents?"

"This has led to the fact that the situation of the vast majority of mutants has still not changed. They are still in deep water, but your actions let them know that you have the ability to save them. So now you only have two choices left. Either abandon them completely, or save them. How do you plan to choose?"

Magneto's face didn't change at all. He had actually made a decision long ago. He didn't want to manage these disabled mutants at all.

He believed that Epsilon-level and Omega-level mutants were not the same species at all. He didn't need to manage these congenitally disabled people at all. He only needed to gather all Omega-level mutants with powerful abilities to establish his own civilization, and there was no place for these waste in this civilization.

Professor X had a more neutral attitude toward this. He believed that the resources obtained by powerful mutants should also be used to take care of these congenitally insufficient mutants.

But in fact, their attitude was the same. The civilization of mutants did not include these disabled mutants.

Some people might think this is completely inhumane.

Humans do take mutual help as a virtue, and taking care of the old, weak, sick, and disabled in the group is a manifestation of the inclusiveness of the community.

But mutants are not one old, weak, sick, or disabled person in ten, but probably only three or four in ten are not old, weak, sick, or disabled, and probably only one in ten thousand is above the average level.

In this case, it is not a problem of relying on kindness to help the old, weak, sick, and disabled. Saving others is like the foolish old man moving mountains. It is not four horses pulling one person, but one horse pulling a building.

If they still have spare energy, they don't oppose using some resources to help these compatriots who are holding back, but now they are living in a hurry, so they can't help.

Magneto wanted to express his feelings, but was stopped by Professor X. Professor X explained the principle of mutant birth and the approximate data and their current situation to Clark in a more gentle way.

Then Clark asked a soul question, "Must the combination of powerful mutants give birth to powerful mutants?" ===== CHAPTER 2617 =====

Magneto wanted to speak his mind, but he was stopped by Professor Xavier, who explained the origins of mutants, the approximate data to date, and their current situation to Clark in a much gentler manner.

Then Clark asked a soul-searching question: "Can the union between powerful mutants definitely produce powerful mutants?"
