Chapter 4695

"What do you mean by this?!" The director shouted: "You bunch of hateful mutants, are you trying to kidnap us?!"

"We are saving you," Magneto said very calmly, "The two Avengers teams outside are already in a mess, what's the difference between you going out now and sending yourselves to death? Even if the Avengers won't kill you, those who don't want the Red Orchid factory to fall into enemy hands won't let you go either."

Stark couldn't help but look at Magneto a few more times. The Magneto of this universe really had a very good temper; it couldn't even be called emotional stability, it could simply be called a great philanthropist.

You know, it was the people in this laboratory who researched the Red Orchid factory and the Mother Mold; they could completely be called the enemies of mutants. Magneto could still explain it calmly here; no wonder other Magnetos' uniforms were black, while his was white. Different species are indeed different.

However, having a good temper also has its downsides. In the time it took for him to explain these two sentences, the woman holding a gun next to the director suddenly pressed a button. Stark felt a slight vibration coming from under the laboratory, as if something had been released.

Magneto also felt something; his expression changed, and he turned back abruptly. A sturdy body broke through the floor and flew into the laboratory. Magneto gritted his teeth and said: "Sentinel robot!"

Stark also turned back to look. It was an extremely tall and burly silver-gray robot. However, because the mutants in the central universe developed too smoothly, Stark hadn't studied Sentinel robots. He only knew that this kind of robot was divided into several levels, and judging from Magneto's expression, the level in front of him was quite high.

"You take them away first," Stark said to Magneto.

Before his voice even fell, the robot's eyes suddenly lit up with red light, the hunting program started, and it instantly rushed toward Magneto. Stark wouldn't give him this chance; the shield composed of information flow instantly solidified into a barrier, blocking his path. As a result, this guy rushed forward, and the barrier shattered. Stark raised his eyebrows.

"Don't go head-to-head with him," Magneto's eyes also lit up with light, "This guy is at least a level six main Sentinel, his strength is stronger than Captain America, and he has the ability to weaken the X-gene in a range. Don't let him activate the weakening halo, otherwise the portal from my mutant ability might disappear!"

Seeing the Sentinel robot descend, the two Spider-Men couldn't sit still either, rushing into the battlefield one after another. One used spider silk to tie the robot's legs and pulled hard, while the other kicked him on the back of the neck.

With a "bang," the robot was pulled to the ground. But the moment he fell, he turned over and kicked away the Spider-Man behind him, then grabbed the neck of the Spider-Man who had kicked him.

Magneto took a light breath and raised his hand to attack. But just at this moment, his peripheral vision caught Stark taking out a pyramid-shaped reactor core shining with colorful light, and inserting it into the center of the arc reactor on his chest. Instantly, a gorgeous shell flickering with magical light attached to him, like another kind of mech. He raised his hand, and a thick beam of magical power, half a person thick, sprayed out.

"BOOM!!!!!!"

Dazzling magical light lit up in the valley, and the Avengers who were fighting chaotically were all blown away. The Sentinel robot was heavily slammed into the mountain on the other side of the valley, and the entire machine body began to smoke with thick black smoke.

The local Doctor Strange turned back in disbelief, looking at the large hole blasted into the rock wall. In the magical attack just now, he felt the power of at least seven or eight demon gods. Did the main universe Doctor Strange come?!

He retreated a few steps with some trepidation and said to Captain America: "If that was the main universe Doctor Strange just now, then he is stronger than we imagined. Let's retreat first, Captain."

Captain America was still a bit unwilling, but he turned his head and looked at the black shadow blasted out next to him. After recognizing what level of Sentinel robot that was, he immediately waved his shield: "Retreat!"

The local Avengers team retreated quickly, while the main universe Avengers team rushed into the laboratory. However, at this time, the laboratory was already empty. After they went in, the main universe Spider-Man jumped down from the roof and said: "When I came in just now, I hacked the main system, but I couldn't crack all the data before it was physically disconnected."

He walked over, unplugged the hard drive inserted in the computer, handed it to the main universe Iron Man, and then said: "I don't know if this is enough, you take a look, Mr. Stark."

"Well done," Captain America patted his shoulder, "Thanks to you, otherwise we would have returned empty-handed."

The main universe Spider-Man shook his head. There was indeed data in the hard drive, but it wasn't obtained by hacking; he asked the Iron Man of the central universe for it. The reason was also very simple; they had to give the main universe Iron Man some results for him to study, otherwise he would still go crazy. Giving him some technical data was the best way to divert his attention.

The main universe Iron Man immediately read the contents of the hard drive, and sure enough, his back didn't ache, his legs didn't hurt, and his anxiety was much better. He didn't say a word on the way back, obviously addicted to studying the data.

In the anti-gravity laboratory, the researchers walked out of the portal tremblingly. How could they not know that they wouldn't have a good ending if they fell into the hands of mutants? They were probably already thinking about how to die quickly.

Magneto walked out of the portal last, watching Stark pull out the core and replace it with an ordinary one, and asked curiously: "Can this be hot-swapped?"

"This can only be hot-swapped. After all, it would be too late to change it after I die."

Magneto covered his eyes helplessly, only then realizing he had asked a stupid question. Also, the arc reactor embedded in the human body, if it couldn't be hot-swapped, could the person be shut down before pulling it out?

"Did Schiller tell you what to do after bringing these researchers back?" Magneto looked at Stark and asked.

Stark was stunned, then said: "Didn't he tell you?"

Magneto shook his head, just wanting to continue saying something, when Professor X's voice echoed in the laboratory: "Come to the Central Throne, Erik. We are going to proceed to the next step of the plan."

Stark and Magneto immediately came to the office of the Central Throne; Schiller and Professor X were already waiting there. Before the two could speak, Professor X said: "Among those researchers, there is a Dr. Aria Gregar who led the research and development of the Red Orchid factory; her husband died in our surprise attack."

Magneto was stunned for a moment, then said: "So, the target of this operation is her?"

Schiller nodded and said: "Dr. Gregar, in her grief, integrated the consciousness of her husband, Dr. Mendel, into the Nimrod-type Sentinel robot that the Mother Mold is building."

Stark nodded and said: "That's right, when I invaded the external defense before, I also tried to access the Mother Mold that hadn't fully awakened yet; there was an abnormally edited program there, which looked a bit like a consciousness backup."

"Dr. Gregar has such technology?" Magneto frowned.

"Yes," Professor X said, "I saw in this doctor's memory that they had long since uploaded their personalities into the Red Orchid factory's system."

"Why do this?" Magneto asked.

"Of course, to guard against some people killing them to silence them," Schiller shook his head and said, "Those people have done this kind of thing too many times, and scientists aren't stupid; even if they still can't resist, they will definitely have precautions in their own way. Isn't it coming in handy now?"

"But..." Magneto said with some hesitation, "It was the mutants who killed her husband; will she be willing to cooperate with us?"

"Wrong," Schiller said, "If they weren't voluntary from the beginning, but were forced into the laboratory or factory, then his enemy isn't the one who finally did it, or at least not only those people, but also the ones who forced them in the first place."

Magneto was puzzled again and said: "I thought those scientists joined the R&D team voluntarily to defend the Earth."

Schiller shook his head again: "From the perspective of ordinary people, they have no reason to oppose mutants building a country. Or rather, they are dying for mutants to build a country and move all the mutants around them into one country, so they will be safe."

"Won't they think we want to rule the Earth?"

"Then you can rule the Earth even without building a country," Schiller said helplessly again, "Whether you operate on Earth as a national organization is a purely political act, so it only relates to other political organizations and has nothing to do with ordinary people."

Seeing that Magneto didn't seem to understand, Schiller had to explain further: "For ordinary people, the most serious thing is always the threat of individual mutants. The loss of control of individual mutants may lead to threats to their lives and property, while the so-called ruling the Earth, the possibility and threat are ranked after this."

"If you don't build a country, the threat of individual mutants and the possibility of ruling the Earth won't decrease; if you build a country, although the possibility of the latter will increase slightly, the threat of the former will also decrease. For ordinary people, the former is more important, because ordinary people have to survive tomorrow before they can talk about the future."

Magneto understood a bit. He also discovered that the only ones anxious about mutants building a country are the governments of various countries; ordinary people don't seem to care much. In fact, many people support it. But support doesn't mean they really hope mutants have a homeland, just that they hope the mutants around them will get out quickly.

This is similar to supporters of Zionism. Many supporters of Zionism are not Jews, but competitors of Jewish groups in their own countries. When the country belonging to Jews was established, these people also contributed, just to take the opportunity to kick the Jewish groups out so they wouldn't compete with them.

It is obvious that if a country belonging to a certain ethnic group is established, and everyone in this ethnic group wants a piece of the pie, then the focus will definitely shift to this country, which means the weakening of forces in their own country, which gives others an opportunity.

And many anti-Zionist Jews may not really oppose the restoration of the country, but just don't want to shift the focus to other countries and are unwilling to give up their forces in their own country, so they claim to oppose it.

Mutants are also like this. Once a country belonging to mutants is established, many mutants will yearn for it, plus with convenient portals, they can move without cost, so they will be more inclined to move away.

This is good news for most ordinary people, allowing them to avoid the harm of mutant ability outbreaks. So many ordinary people will support mutants building a country, wishing they could build it today and all mutants would move away tomorrow, not coming to harm their lives.

In other words, many scientists in that laboratory didn't really hate mutants or oppose mutants building a country, so they went to research the Red Orchid factory; they were simply dragged there by the government.
