Chapter 4697

"Mr. Stark, Mr. Stark!"

When Stark opened his eyes, he saw a red figure shaking in front of him. He was so scared that he dodged backward, and after seeing clearly that it was Spider-Man, he let out a long sigh and complained a bit: "Peter, what are you doing!"

"Uh, sorry, sir, I'm not the Peter from your universe, I'm from this one." Spider-Man pointed to the ground.

"Alright, that's not important, you are both my good Peters." Stark rolled over and sat up, took off his sleeping cap, tidied his hair, and said, "Why did you come?"

"The main universe Spider-Man brought me here." The local Spider-Man said.

"Do the mutants agree?"

"They originally didn't allow members of the Avengers to enter Krakoa, but as soon as they heard it was Spider-Man, they let me through." The local Spider-Man said, "I came to find you to discuss something."

"What is it?" Stark asked.

"About the Red Orchid factory." The local Spider-Man paused, seeming a bit embarrassed, and said, "I think this factory is not suitable for anyone, except you."

"Me?" Stark was puzzled, "What do I want that factory for?"

"Of course, I know the technological level of the central universe is very high, and you don't need the factory's technology. But if it falls into the hands of others, it will really trigger a world war. Only if you get the factory will they not dare to act rashly."

Spider-Man gestured to explain, and Stark understood what he meant. He showed up on Earth at that time and showed an unparalleled technological level, which was significantly higher than everyone on this Earth and the main universe, and could even defeat both sides without effort. If he took down the factory, it could indeed make both sides temporarily peaceful.

Stark shook his head and said: "I won't do that."

"Why?" The local Spider-Man asked, somewhat confused, "You should also be here to help, right? As long as we take down the factory, our Earth, the main universe Avengers, and the mutants won't fight."

"You are too naive, Peter. Sit down, let's talk slowly." Stark pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet." The local Spider-Man shook his head and said, "I came over early in the morning, I was afraid there would be some changes if I was late."

Stark looked at his watch and saw it wasn't breakfast time yet, so he said to the local Spider-Man: "Let's go to the dining bar, we'll talk while we eat."

The local Spider-Man didn't decline, and the two went out together. The scenery of Krakoa was very good, and the local Spider-Man kept taking pictures with his phone. Several mutants saw him taking pictures and wanted to come up to dissuade him, but after seeing it was Spider-Man, they gave up and pretended not to see.

"The mutants trust you quite a bit." Stark said, "Even though you two are enemies now."

"I'm not an enemy of the mutants." Spider-Man said, "I have never discriminated against mutants and have even helped the X-Men. They want to build a country, and I support it. One of the big reasons I came this time is to buy a Krakoan flower to take back for Aunt May."

Stark nodded and said: "Indeed, Spider-Man is not an enemy of anyone, and everyone trusts you very much."

The local Spider-Man smiled at him.

The two came to the dining bar and each ordered a meal. Stark drank coffee while saying: "You only think that as long as I am strong enough, no one will dare to speak after I get the factory, but in fact, this is still using authoritarianism to solve problems. It seems like surface peace has been obtained, but these are all temporary."

"I can't stay in your universe forever, I have to go back. So when I leave, no matter who I hand this thing to, it will cause controversy, and I'm afraid there will be another battle to fight."

"Can't you set it to automatic mode?"

"Have you ever seen any mechanical equipment set to automatic mode that doesn't rebel?" Stark was obviously also very clear about the nature of their side, "The current Nimrod-class Sentinel robot might only target mutants, but if the machines rebel, I'm afraid they will hit the Earth together."

The local Spider-Man sighed and thought for a moment before saying: "Then can we move this thing away? Take it to your universe?"

"The scale is too large." Stark said, "I don't deny that I do have information transmission technology, but that also depends on the magnitude. I can't transmit this kind of planetary-level equipment at all, and starting it rashly might be dangerous."

Seeing the local Spider-Man a bit frustrated, Stark continued to explain: "We don't use authoritarianism to solve problems because authoritarianism cannot solve fundamental problems. What do you think is the fundamental problem of this matter?"

The local Spider-Man looked at him, waiting for his follow-up. Stark had to continue: "The Earth government, the Avengers, and the mutants are full of irreconcilable contradictions; they have almost no common interests and are full of competition; such a state cannot last long."

"But is war the only way to solve it?" The local Spider-Man was very unwilling, "Is it necessary to fight a battle, exterminate a few forces, to exchange for peace?"

Stark shook his head and said: "War also cannot solve the fundamental problem; it's just that after a battle, everyone is too weak to fight again; it's not reconciliation, but stopping."

"Then what should we do? How did the central universe do it?"

"That's a long story." Stark said.

Just at this time, a figure sat down next to the bar. Stark turned his head and found it was Schiller, so he said to Spider-Man: "The solution is here."

"Oh, Doctor." The local Spider-Man obviously had seen Schiller, and he said, "Did you finish writing the medical records? When I ran errands for you before, I saw you were always making up..."

"Not yet." Schiller sighed, ordered a glass of juice, drank it, and said, "Mutants are already preparing for the Krakoan Totem incubation plan, I have to rush over later."

"Mr. Stark said you have a way to solve the problems of our universe." Spider-Man looked at Stark.

"My meaning is, he is the solution itself." Stark explained, "But it's best not to use it in your universe."

The local Spider-Man was a bit confused; he hadn't been to Battleworld many times and hadn't heard of Schiller's great name. Stark continued: "However, you don't have to worry too much, Schiller will always have a way."

Not getting the answer he wanted, the local Spider-Man was a bit frustrated, but he also knew he couldn't force it. After he left, Stark said to Schiller: "How is the mutants' resurrection plan going?"

"It's almost successful." Schiller nodded and said, "Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"Better not." Stark thought for a moment and said, "I have to go study the data given by Dr. Gregar, focusing on technology that might come from alien civilizations; maybe it will come in handy later."

After breakfast, Stark went to the anti-gravity laboratory, while Schiller headed to the Krakoan Totem. That was a huge totem that looked very majestic, hidden in the lush forest, and the features of the totem looked like a kind old man.

Just as Sebastian introduced at the UN General Assembly, the entire Krakoa island is alive; although it may not be a mutant, it is indeed some kind of intelligent life with wisdom.

The key reason why humans cannot control this island is that humans have no way to communicate with the Krakoan Totem, but mutants can. Because among the mutants, there is a mutant called "Cipher", who can understand any language in the world, including the extremely ancient language used by the Krakoan Totem.

Relying on Cipher to communicate with the Krakoan Totem, they successfully made the Krakoan Totem accept mutants operating on him, which allowed mutants to completely occupy this island. And other lives that haven't obtained totem permission find it difficult to stay on the island for long.

And the Totem Resurrection Plan also relies on the Krakoan Totem; they need to inject the mutant genes preserved from Mr. Sinister into the Krakoan Totem, hatch a body without consciousness, and then stuff the thoughts into it.

The process is quite simple, but it is not easy to realize in reality. Just injecting genes, Cipher and Moira communicated with the totem for a long time. They had to ensure the totem could understand that what they wanted was a person, not some big tree or vine. Secondly, the hatched body must have an X-gene, retain their mutant ability, and finally, the body and soul must be combined. In short, they researched for a long time, and only now have they barely completed it.

When Schiller arrived, Professor X, Magneto, Moira, and Dr. Gregar were all there. Dr. Gregar took out something that looked a bit like a hard drive, but it was hexagonal and made of crystal material. She handed it over and said: "This is the Flash Chip I mentioned, which can be used to transmit consciousness. However, one person's consciousness can only be made into one Flash Chip and cannot be backed up, but consciousness can be transmitted between different Flash Chips."

"Earlier today, when I touched this empty Flash Chip, I found it automatically connected to another Flash Chip, and inside it was actually my husband's consciousness. Now I have transmitted him into this one. Take a look, Professor."

Dr. Gregar was obviously very anxious to see her husband, but she didn't say it clearly. Professor X took the Flash Chip, and as soon as he got it, he felt that this didn't seem to be a material from Earth, but he didn't say much and began to cover it with brainwaves.

The time was much longer than expected, so long that Dr. Gregar's expression wasn't very good. And looking at Professor X's increasingly serious expression, Magneto also knew that something must have happened.

"Let's talk in my mental world." Professor X directly pulled the brainwaves of several people into his mental domain. Magneto knew very well that if the situation wasn't very serious, Professor X wouldn't do this.

Just after entering the mental domain, Dr. Gregar saw her husband; she rushed over and hugged him, and Dr. Mendel also hugged her, but he was obviously very haggard.

"What's wrong, Ira? Is there something wrong with your mental body?"

Dr. Mendel closed his eyes tightly and said very sadly: "It was the mutants who saved me."

"What?!" Dr. Gregar was a bit confused, "Mutants? But weren't you in the system of the Red Orchid factory..."

"The consciousness of those dead mutants was also uploaded to the system of the Red Orchid factory; we were all being hunted by the Mother Mold's security system. It was they who sent me back to the Flash Chip."

"What?!" Magneto was shocked, "Mutants' consciousness?"

"That's right, it was that surprise attack squad." Dr. Mendel said, "The leader was named Scott, there was also one with claws on his hands who said his name was Logan, and there was also a woman who could use fire..."

"It really was them." Magneto grabbed Dr. Mendel's arm excitedly, "How are they?"

"They have been hunted by the Mother Mold's security system!" Dr. Mendel raised his voice and said again, "Just like a virus hunted by a computer firewall. We must save them!"
