Chapter 4674: House of X: Destruction (2)

~10 min read 1,956 words

Shiler pursed his lips; this certainly couldn't be called good news. In fact, the mutants in the House of X universe could be considered the more reasonable batch among all kinds of mutant comics. Once they heard about building a country, they basically put down the things in their hands and past grievances, united as one, and finally indeed succeeded.

But perhaps because they were more normal than mutants in other universes, Professor X's vision was even greater. He didn't even care that his universe's cause was at a critical node, resolutely joining the multiverse war, but ushered in the worst situation—this seriously interfered with their original plan, leading to the failure of the raid plan that could have succeeded.

As the person who made the decision, the pressure Professor X would face would be unimaginable. This not only killed eight good hands like Jean Grey and Wolverine, but also led to mutants being completely unable to deal with the Mother Mold.

And this failure would likely bring a series of disastrous consequences, even completely overturning the plot of that universe. If it really became like this, then no one would dare to participate in multiverse activities in the future, because the price was too tragic.

"We must go to support immediately," Shiler said, "and perform saturation rescue, the faster the better."

"Is that what you think?" Charles asked.

Shiler was surprised instead: "Isn't that why you summoned us here?"

Charles shook his head and said: "I am indeed anxious, and I have decided to support them. But on the contrary, we cannot send too many people, because the Avengers of the main universe have already been accused of cosmic interventionism..."

Shiler slapped his forehead; how could he forget this. Actually, this wasn't a big deal, mainly because after everyone in the multiverse connected to the internet, it was hard to avoid some disputes. And some characters on the Marvel side were actually much more outrageous than those on the DC side.

Not to mention people like Doom or Reed, Tony Stark alone was a heavyweight. Especially the Iron Man of many comic universes, even after getting rid of the playboy status and becoming a superhero, he had a lot of problems. The most troublesome one was that Iron Man was an interventionist.

The so-called interventionist means he would feel he had an obligation to intervene in some things and change the current situation. This led to them inevitably having the suspicion of being meddlesome when speaking or acting in the multiverse.

Especially the Avengers of the main universe, after realizing the special status of the main universe, they were even more unscrupulous in their interference. Today they go to this universe for a stroll, tomorrow they go to that universe to patrol, and they find things to do for themselves whether there is anything or not.

Of course, in some universes, they did help, which also brought them a batch of loyal supporters. But there were also many times when they were purely causing trouble, and had several conflicts with local superhero groups, leading to a very poor reputation.

The current public opinion environment of the entire multiverse is inclined to oppose this kind of interventionism. Under the offensive of public opinion, the main universe finally paused its actions of going out for a stroll whenever there was nothing to do, and promised everyone that unless actively seeking help, they wouldn't intervene.

This matter seemed to be resolved peacefully, but the fatal thing was that the House of X universe really sought help. Now I'm afraid the main universe is already preparing to rush over.

Up to this point, Shiler understood what Charles was worried about. The main universe is indeed very enthusiastic, but this new 616 main universe is too young. Since the All-New, All-Different era, it hasn't experienced many major events, and the heroes are all still very young, which leads to their handling of things not being very sophisticated.

It's fine to encounter troubles that only need to be solved with fists, but once it involves very complex struggle issues, it's purely causing trouble, and it's even possible to push things to an irredeemably bad situation.

So what Charles was anxious about wasn't the situation in that universe at all, but that after the main universe superheroes went over, they would stir things up even worse. This would definitely trigger resistance from most universes, even triggering multiverse-level major events.

Even if it didn't turn into a violent conflict, it might make the atmosphere of the multiverse tend to be closed rather than communicative. After all, with the lessons learned, no one would dare to seek help from the multiverse again, and might not even communicate with other universes anymore, to prevent getting burned.

If that were the case, their planned multiverse human alliance plan would be completely ruined. Let alone an alliance, it would be good if the multiverse didn't start fighting.

Shiler frowned deeply. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Regardless, let's support the mutants there first."

"But if the main universe also goes, I'm afraid we'll have to compete with them. I'm really afraid that the situation will be stirred up even more messily," Charles's brows could also pinch a fly to death. "Building a country is not that simple at all. Even if we have walked out of the Earth, and even ruled the entire Andromeda Galaxy, it still took a lot of effort to obtain a legal seat on Earth. You should know the hardship of this better than I do."

Shiler nodded. Don't look at the speed of mutant nation-building in their universe, from occupying that place to turning on the power and building the country, it didn't take much time, and the subsequent progress was also very smooth. But how much was paid behind the scenes, Shiler knew better than anyone.

Not to mention where that piece of land came from, how the people there disappeared, just the political game behind mutants being able to occupy that piece of land was simply thrilling. You must know that not everyone on this Earth can't do anything about mutants, at least their current neighbors aren't. Behind the current great situation of mutants, there are countless unknown hardships hidden. Some people have racked their brains for this, and some people have shed blood and sacrificed for this. Mutant leaders rarely talk about it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Compared with them, the foundation of those people in House of X is too thin. No extraterrestrial base means no retreat, and the chips in their hands are too few, simply creating cards out of thin air.

Not to mention anything else, the way they obtained recognition from other countries on Earth was to offer a magical medicinal herb that only mutants could obtain, to help people on Earth cure diseases.

And they didn't do this after building the country or when they were about to succeed; they did it from the beginning. When they first announced their purpose, they told the whole world that mutants would give ordinary people a magical medicinal herb to show their goodwill.

When Shiler first saw this plot, he could only sigh that the political wisdom of Americans was too shallow. There is no country in this world that is built by showing goodwill to the world. Not a single one. Even including the story of mutants that might metaphorically refer to Jews.

You can show your sincerity after building the country to express your active integration into international society. You can also show the demeanor of a great power with an attitude similar to returning good for evil when your reputation is damaged and you encounter questions.

But there is absolutely no country that would adopt a gentle means when striving for its own sovereign independence and territorial integrity to tell everyone that I have no malice. This will only have the opposite effect.

There is no such thing as "legal nation-building" in this world at all. Even if you have been active on this land since humans came down from trees, to establish a country, it must have been tempered by blood and fire, in the wars of opening up territory generation after generation, condensing national spirit and national honor. Even the United States, which is so young, was independent and unified from war.

What's more, the Marvel Earth has long had a way to cure cancer. Not to mention anything else, Wakanda possesses technology that can cure almost all human diseases. Although not public, Wakanda clearly uses medical technology as its own chip to improve its international status. Mutants giving medicine for free is the first to threaten Wakanda.

Other countries may not necessarily feel goodwill from this behavior. Because although it is cruel, the medical care of many countries is a business. Since it is a business, it does not allow others to intervene, let alone destroy the market.

And for more countries, it is also very terrible to let the people have a common object of good feelings that they yearn for. Buying people's hearts is a taboo in all dynasties. Not to mention the threat of mutants themselves. It can be said that this one move stepped on all the mines that could be stepped on in terms of politics.

Subsequent political games performed strangely. For example, the White Queen broke into the court, used mind control to show off her power, and forcibly took away a mutant who hurt someone, which was equivalent to political suicide.

It can be said that after reading the whole comic, it may not be cool from the perspective of mutants, but from the perspective of ordinary people, it is understandable why ordinary people have such a big reaction.

And if such a group of people meets that group of people in the main universe, this universe is probably completely hopeless. But the consequences of this universe having an accident are too serious, so that even if they know there is no hope, they have to find a way to save it.

"I'll go there myself," Shiler said. "As for the main universe, I'll hold a meeting with Stephen, Loki, and Nick."

"You go?" Charles widened his eyes, "It shouldn't be necessary, right?"

Shiler rubbed his temples and said: "You know that I have an understanding of many things beyond factual judgment. I can only tell you that the situation in that universe is much more complex than you think. The opening is already very unfavorable, and now it is even a disaster. This chain of links is probably only something I can solve."

Charles immediately showed some fearful expressions and said: "If that's the case, then otherwise don't..."

"I'll go with Stark," Shiler said. "That 'Mother Mold' probably has some technical content. If it cannot be handled in a more ingenious and precise way, it will be difficult to make bricks without straw in terms of political games."

Stark was actually listening all along, but didn't expect to have his own business. He said: "I wanted to go to a warm place for a trip, but I didn't think about going to the sun."

"If you don't go, I can only find other universes'..."

"Stop that," Stark hummed, "Have you played enough with Iron Men from other universes?"

"I mean I can only find little Morgan from other universes and let you take care of them together."

"You..." Stark took a few deep breaths, "Alright, then I'll reluctantly take a trip with you. But let's agree, I'm only responsible for technical matters, don't even think about letting me deal with those headache-inducing politicians." ===== CHAPTER 4675 =====
