Chapter 375 Don't reverse, but the future
New world, new story, new experience, without those tribulations and experiences, will naturally become "another" person.
Professor X and Magneto's plan is essentially to sacrifice everyone in exchange for a better world.
If it is not too desperate, there is no hope of defeating the Sentinels to save the world, and everyone does not want to implement this plan.
Like now.
Blinking Clarice's accidental travel to another world gave the mutants a new hope of survival, but if they had the chance to live, how could they be willing to die?
This is the survival instinct of life.
So, when Professor X and Magneto proposed the plan to go back to the past and change the world line, it was not approved like the original plot, and everyone was very entangled, thinking whether they could find a way to get the best of both worlds.
These things, when talking with Magneto and Wolverine, David learned one after another.
Clarice also expressed the thoughts of some mutants, and would like to ask David, the duke who can connect multiple different worlds, if he can come up with some solutions?
"There is no good way."
Store everyone's memories in a specific tool, and then let these people 'retrieve' their memories after the new world line covers the world?
Even so, it’s just allowing “others” to have the memory of “self”, that’s all, it doesn’t mean that these people have been resurrected.
Unless, like Professor X, mental power directly seizes control of the body with a lot of things such as memory and personality, but that is tantamount to killing the original owner directly.
Leaving aside whether these mutants have that ability, they cannot accept this kind of behavior, right?
The only thing that is certain now is that if they are going to send Wolverine Logan back in time to warn their former self, and then avoid the Sentinels to create a new world, David can properly provide some protection to ensure that they are completing this task Before, it will not be found and killed by sentries.
"Why are you so enthusiastic about helping us?"
After chatting for a while, Logan and Magneto followed David and slowly left the Winter Barracks, sitting in a jeep and slowly visiting other places in Winter City.
After driving the car to the bank of the vast Cold Winter River and stopping, Logan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly asked the most important question.
"Even if Clarice came to your territory for some special reason, you don't seem to need to care so much about us mutants, do you?"
Logan, who has lived long enough, has seen too many things. He does not believe that David wants to save mutants for no reason. After some conversations, David does not behave like those so-called saints.
The reason why Logan was a little less vigilant was that David didn't pretend to be like a saint. He behaved normally, so Logan asked directly, instead of directly listing David as an untrustworthy object in his heart.
"Because I hope that Winter City will develop very powerfully. It needs to continuously increase the city's population and obtain various resources, and mutants are a group of people with special abilities. You should understand what this means."
"Mutants are not weapons."
"Weapon itself has no distinction between good and evil, right and wrong." David used the other party's situation as an example: "You and your companions use mutant powers to fight against sentries and protect your companions and the remaining ordinary people. Is this kind of thing wrong? ?”
"..." Of course Logan understands this truth, but everyone will say the truth. When Stryker captured mutants for experiments, the above-board formula was more beautiful, but what about the result?
No matter how beautiful the slogan is, it is useless. What defines a person is always his actual actions.
As far as the current situation is concerned, David is at least honest enough.
Logan felt a headache. He really didn't want to come to participate in these things. He was not good at these things. He took out a cigar and lit it irritably, and then looked directly at Magneto King Eric who hadn't said much.
His meaning is obvious, I will leave it to you, and I have nothing to say.
Magneto didn’t care about Wolverine’s strike behavior. He had known the character of this guy for so many years, and he would come here with Wolverine this time, mainly because Wolverine’s immortal body can guarantee the safety of several people.
When the going gets tough, Wolverine can stall the enemy, giving Clarice and Eric time to escape.
And Wolverine will not die, so don't worry about him being sacrificed, and you can find opportunities to rescue him later.
So from the beginning, Wolverine came here as a bodyguard, and Eric was originally responsible for talking.
Eric didn't talk about those meaningless topics. He directly asked David, if the mutants relocated to Cold Winter City and became residents of Cold Winter City, how would David plan to accommodate these mutants?
In Eric’s view, David has a high probability of placing mutants alone in a specific community, which can avoid conflicts between mutants and ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, David was not going to do that at all.
Except for the Cybertronians because of their size, he has always treated all races who came to Winter City as "normal treatment." '
As long as you are willing to join Cold Winter City and become a resident of Cold Winter City, then you can enjoy all the treatment of Cold Winter City, and there is no difference from others.
"Will no discrimination be made?"
Luo wasn't ready to speak at all, but he couldn't hold back when he heard this.
While Eric was surprised, he thought that David, the Duke of Winter, didn't know what it meant to be a mutant: "Mutants will be rejected or even hated by many ordinary people, not only some mutants will change in appearance , there is a very important reason that when mutants awaken their abilities, there is a certain risk of losing control."
It can be said that this is the biggest contradiction between mutants and ordinary people. The others are all false. Only this point is the most critical, because it will actually threaten the personal safety of ordinary people.
Because no one likes me to return home happily one day, only to find that my house has been blown into ruins because of the superpower awakening of the bear kid next door, and what is even worse is that there were still people in the house at the time.
This kind of thing is not an exception in the world of mutants.
Now that David wants to bring the mutants to Winter City, how is he going to solve this hidden danger?
Even if the surviving mutants can control their superpowers very well, they won’t accidentally injure ordinary people out of control, but what about the new generation of mutants that will be born after the mutants multiply?
"This is actually not difficult to solve."
To a certain extent, mutants suddenly acquire certain superpowers due to the awakening of their own X genes. Although these abilities are different, the reason for their loss of control is simple: a sudden extra ability, just like you suddenly With an extra arm or leg, there will definitely be a period of discomfort.
However, when this ability is obtained, there are not no signs at all. The X gene also requires energy to endow the host with the ability. In many cases, the energy of the universe is directly extracted, which means that it can be detected in advance.
Not to mention that David’s Winter City can easily make similar equipment, the most critical ability of Sentinel is to detect the X gene, and even the hidden X gene can be discovered by it.
"So, as long as it is confirmed that the child has the X gene, installing a small detection and restriction device on the child can prevent bad things from happening."
According to David, this restriction device does not deprive mutants of their abilities, but 'weakens' them. For mutants like Cyclops who use energy directly, using this device can greatly reduce their own output power.
If some mutants who have just awakened their abilities, once suppressed by this device, they may not be able to use their abilities, and naturally they will not pose a threat to ordinary people around them. Even if it is a powerful ability, it will not cause too much harm after being suppressed.
"This suppression range can be adjusted continuously, and it is also a device for mutants to learn how to use and control their abilities correctly."
"Sounds good, Winter City can make this kind of equipment?"
"Not difficult."
Winter City has gathered a lot of cosmic civilization technology and Cybertron technology in the Marvel Universe, as well as a lot of alchemy and magic knowledge, plus a variety of strange materials. It is really not difficult to make this kind of thing.
Continuing to talk for a while, David realized that Magneto was gradually inclined to come to Winter City.
After all, his plan with Professor X was to save the world, but it was no different from destroying the world. After Magneto discovered that he could truly save the existing mutants, he began to waver.
Especially when it is learned that the technical reserves of Winter City are not as 'medieval' as they appear on the surface. They have a large number of advanced technologies at the level of cosmic civilization, including genetic adjustment and optimization technologies, which can not only make mutants better. The mastery of superpowers can also eliminate some of the 'side effects', and even make mutants stronger.
This is obviously a brighter future, so bright that Magneto has a crooked mind.
Being insensitive, he knew that he was no match for the Duke of Winter, and he was startled by the sense of oppression from the other party.
After realizing the huge power gap between the two sides, Magneto resolutely gave up that dangerous idea, and even more began to pay attention to how to lead the mutants to this new bright road.
Being able to help compatriots choose the right path forward can be regarded as a contribution to the mutants.
Now, the biggest question for Magneto is, how to convince old friends to give up their previous plan? Come together to Winterfell and work to forge a true future for the surviving mutants.
"I might need some time to talk to my old friend."
