Chapter 4677: House of X: Destruction (6)
The anti-gravity laboratory is located below Krakoa island, looking like a transparent hemisphere buckled under the island. Everything inside is upside down, but after walking in, because of gravity, it is no different from the ground.
When Shiler walked in, he saw a woman with golden-brown hair wearing a researcher's uniform. He understood that all the stories of mutants in this universe originated from her. Moira's nine reincarnations are the most important reason why Professor X decided to build a country in Krakoa.
Moira is a special mutant. She has experienced nine reincarnations and seen all the tragic endings of mutants. And in one reincarnation, she was told that she could not reincarnate indefinitely. Reincarnation only has ten lives. If in the last life, they still couldn't defeat the mutant's great enemy Nimrod, she and the mutants would cease to exist.
She told this story to Professor X. Professor X understood that mutants had no choice. So, they visited Magneto, who had chosen to live in seclusion, and embarked on the journey of rebuilding utopia.
Shiler walked in, and Moira turned back first. She looked very shocked, but Professor X had already sensed it. He turned around and looked at Shiler, not wearing the fourth-generation brainwave amplifier he had been wearing, which was the big helmet with the X logo that could be worn directly on his head.
"Professor," Shiler called out, "We don't have much time."
"Yes," Professor X said, "The UN voting assembly is the day after tomorrow. With the annihilation of the suicide squad, I'm afraid we will only get veto votes."
"Forget the UN assembly," Shiler said, "That has no effect at all. The key to whether mutants can successfully build a country is not there either. We need another plan."
When Stark followed Magneto to the main base, he sighed at the beauty of this base again. It was a completely stone palace, and the ancient stone bricks with moss were carved with beautiful vine patterns, and the hollow dome was inlaid with colored crystals. In the center of the hall was a deep blue pool, and in the center of the pool was a tall tree. The leaves of the big tree were emerald green, and the sunlight spilled down through the dome, passed through the leaves, and spilled golden foil on the blue pool, hazy and dreamy.
On both sides of the pool were meeting areas, with the same naturalistic style tables and chairs, as well as flower-shaped chandeliers. Sunlight spilled in from the pointed crystal floor-to-ceiling windows, looking very warm and comfortable.
But this quiet and beautiful atmosphere was soon broken, because a team of people walked out from the door behind the hall, led by the main universe Iron Man wearing armor.
As soon as he saw Stark, he was stunned for a moment, then flew to Stark with a swoosh, looked down at him, and said coldly: "Which universe's Iron Man are you? Didn't you receive our message?"
Stark was in a very good mood now. Besides not having to take care of children making him feel relaxed, the beautiful scenery of Krakoa and the elegant aesthetics of mutants also made him feel like he was on vacation. He decided very generously not to count it against the main universe Iron Man.
"Received," Stark said somewhat mockingly, "That was one of the stupidest messages I've ever read in my life. Your tone and tone sound like Nero. I've never seen a superhero who uses this attitude to support others."
"We are just ensuring that no one can interfere with our work," the main universe Iron Man said, "Everyone from all universes running here, besides making this place look like a cheap shopping mall, has no other effect. One Avengers is enough."
"There is indeed only one Avengers here," Stark said, "The Avengers of my universe didn't come."
"You came alone?!" the main universe Iron Man said incredulously, "What are you doing here alone?"
"Travel," Stark was too lazy to talk to him. He walked to the bar next to the hall. Polaris with green hair raised her eyes to look at him, seemingly slightly annoyed, sitting in the bar without speaking.
"Madam, you seem to be in a bad mood. Do you want me to mix you a drink?"
"Get lost," Polaris said, "Otherwise I'll carry your tin can and throw you... wait. You finally are willing to take off that iron shell of yours? Mr. Spam?"
"You recognized the wrong person," Stark said, "I'm from another universe."
"What's the difference?" Polaris didn't even lift her eyelids, "Krakoa doesn't welcome non-mutants. You will all roll out sooner or later. Don't be an eyesore here. I don't have such a good temper."
"I'm just here for travel," Stark said, supporting his chin with his hand, "I'm tired of taking care of children at home, and I want to find a quiet place to stay for two days."
"Taking care of children? You have children?" Polaris was a bit surprised.
"Yes, she's a bit naughty, always pestering me."
"Then you just left her behind?"
"Otherwise, you can understand it as, if I don't leave her for a few days, there will soon be nothing left to teach her. And my universe will have a fifth Omega-level little demon."
"What kind of evaluation is this?" Polaris laughed out loud, "Who are the first four?"
"You should be familiar with this. One is Richards' son Franklin, one is Captain America's son Thomas Rogers, and two are Scarlet Witch's children, that pair of brothers."
"Are they all mutants? Is your daughter one too?"
"Little Morgan isn't a mutant, but her destructive power is no less than theirs."
"Too exaggerated," Polaris said, "How can your daughter have stronger destructive power than an Omega-level mutant?"
Stark smiled and didn't speak. Then an iron can sat down next to him. "You are from the central universe, right?"
"How did you see it?" Stark asked with interest.
"There are too many weirdos there," the main universe Iron Man said, "Why don't you wear a battle suit?"
"I don't want to wear it," Stark said, "Don't you think you are wearing it like this, and you are out of place with the whole island?"
"I'm not here to take travel landscape commemorative photos," the main universe Iron Man said, "We are here to deal with the enemy."
"Is the enemy mutants?"
"We are here to help mutants," the main universe Iron Man paused, and then said, "We are studying how to dismantle the last pillar of the Mother Mold. This is a very serious technical problem."
"Then go study your serious technical problem, don't disturb my leisure," Stark said.
The main universe Iron Man slapped the table of the bar hard.
"Tony!" Captain America walked over, made an apologetic gesture to Stark and Polaris, and then dragged the main universe Iron Man away. The main universe Iron Man was still complaining, but the two soon disappeared in the hall.
Stark watched the direction he left, and Polaris stared at him, seemingly feeling a bit strange. Stark turned back and said to Polaris: "His armor is equipped with an anti-magnetic interference system, which should be specifically aimed at you and your father."
"What?!" Polaris widened her eyes, "I knew they were uneasy and kind! I'm going to tell..."
"Calm down," Stark lowered his voice and said, "Your father must have told you not to conflict with them. Do you know why?"
Polaris threw her hand again: "Who knows! I didn't want them to come and help!"
"Because they are here to help. If you fight with them, no one will ever want to help you again. So even if they haven't played a role yet, and their attitude is bad, you can only endure it. But..."
Polaris looked gloomy, and after a while, she came back to her senses, and then said: "Compared to those who help, you look more like you are here to watch a joke. You are not mutants at all, and it is impossible to be on the same side as us. I knew this long ago."
"There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests," Stark said, "Mutants are not completely on the same side, let alone other races. Expecting others to be friendly to you for no reason is impossible. They want to use you to gain prestige, and you can also use them."
"They have been here for two days, and still haven't figured out how to deal with the Orchis factory. As long as our people mention opinions, they say that if our plan was useful, the suicide squad wouldn't have been wiped out. But they just drag it on like this, and the Mother Mold will only get stronger!"
Polaris grabbed her hair anxiously. Stark took a sip of wine, and then said: "Do you have the information on the Orchis factory?"
"... I don't," Polaris said, "I don't understand those things. But Magneto and they should both have it. I remember they said they seemed to have researched something, but I haven't seen it either."
"Can you help me get the information?" Stark said, "That Iron Man's armor is equipped with things to guard against you. He may not necessarily try his best, and may even make small moves. His conclusion cannot be fully trusted. Perhaps I can help you take a look, at least it can be an extra layer of insurance."
Polaris's expression was very gloomy, and after a while, she came back to her senses, and then said: "I will let Blink find a way. But according to Magneto, they aren't completely dragging their feet, that factory is very difficult to deal with. I no longer expect you scientists to have any progress."
"That may not be the case, Madam. The solar system development plan of the central universe has always been my responsibility, and the Mercury base was also established by me. Perhaps, I can bring you some surprises?" ===== CHAPTER 4678 =====
"Because they are here to help. If you start a fight with them, no one will ever want to help you again. So even if they haven't been useful yet and their attitude is terrible, you have no choice but to endure it. But..."
Polaris looked at him, pressed her lips together tightly, and said, "Compared to helping, you guys look more like you're here to watch a joke, right? You aren't mutants at all, and you couldn't possibly be on the same side as us. I knew that a long time ago."
"There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests," Stark said. "Mutants aren't even completely united, let alone other races. Expecting others to be friendly to you for no reason is impossible. They want to use you to gain prestige, and you can absolutely use them in return."
"They've been here for two days and still haven't figured out how to deal with the Red Gate Orchid factory. Whenever our people offer suggestions, they say that if our plans were useful, the assault team wouldn't have been wiped out. But they just keep dragging it out like this, and the Mother Mold is only getting stronger!"
Polaris pulled at her hair in anxiety. Stark took a sip of his drink and then said, "Do you have the data on the Red Gate Orchid factory?"
"... I don't," Polaris said. "I don't understand those things. But Magneto and they should both have it in their hands. I remember them saying they seemed to have researched something, but I haven't seen it."
"Can you help me get the data?" Stark said. "That Iron Man's armor is equipped with defenses against you. He might not be doing his best, and he might even be pulling some tricks. His conclusions shouldn't be fully trusted. Perhaps I can take a look for you; at the very least, it provides an extra layer of insurance."
Polaris's expression was very gloomy. After a long while, she came back to her senses and said, "I'll have Blink try to find a way. But according to Magneto, they aren't entirely just dragging their feet; that factory is extremely difficult to deal with. I've already stopped expecting you scientists to make any progress."
"That's not necessarily true, Miss. I have been in charge of the solar system development project for the Central Universe, and I also established the Mercury base. Perhaps I can bring you some surprises?"
