Chapter 3138 "Romantic" Wedding Season (Fifty-Eight)
"Eric? Eric?" Professor X called out twice, but found that he could not sense Magneto's brain waves. He could not help but grit his teeth and whispered, "Do I have to wear that crappy helmet at this time?!"
At this moment, no matter who is in the X-Men, they will be shocked to see Professor X's expression. Professor X is always gentle and polite in front of others, always looking confident.
"Wouldn't you hang up the phone when you were almost home?" Magneto's voice came from behind Professor X. Professor X turned around to look at him. Magneto just took off his helmet from his head, and his silver-white hair fell down.
He put the helmet aside and said, "We have almost destroyed the three star systems there. Polaris captured the captains of two transport teams and found out from them that the laboratory there should be funded by the Elders."
"I should have known it was them." Professor X sighed, and then said, "Can this news spread to the wide area network of the three empires before tonight?"
Magneto frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you say that the news should be spread within three days?"
"There's a change of plan." Professor X told Magneto about Nathaniel and Apocalypse, and then said, "I suspect the people behind Apocalypse may be the New Skrull Empire."
"They are going to take action against mutants? Why go through so much trouble?" Magneto asked, but he obviously did not intend to wait for Professor X's answer, because in this regard, he was much more perceptive than Professor X.
In any case, Apocalypse is also a mutant. It is not difficult for other advanced civilizations to identify mutants. If Apocalypse attacks us, then this is an internal war among mutants.
If this war causes any damage, the mutants will be fully responsible. At that time, they will have an excuse to interfere in the internal affairs of the mutant race under the guise of universe security.
They probably want to support Apocalypse as an agent within the mutant community. Professor X's tone also sank. He said, "They want to cause a party struggle among the mutant community."
Magneto was very familiar with this. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "They originally wanted to divide the two of us, but when they found that they couldn't succeed, they naturally changed their target."
"But how did they find Apocalypse?" Professor X said with some confusion: "Apocalypse has always been active on Earth. He is not very interested in the universe, and the protection of Earth has always been very strict. It is difficult for the New Skrull Empire to contact people on Earth through the Nine Realms or the magic defense network."
"Then there must be an internal problem." Magneto said, "Still can't contact Schiller now?"
Professor X hesitated for a moment and decided to try again, but before he could make any move, Magneto frowned slightly and looked in one direction. He waved his hand, the magnetic field defense was removed, and a magic portal appeared in the office.
"Your defense is really strong." Loki appeared in the office holding the Mind Scepter, and behind him followed someone neither of them expected - Thanos.
The purple-skinned giant walked up and shook hands with Magneto. Magneto was very polite and did not refuse, not only because Thanos himself was very strong, but also because he now held a high position in the Interstellar Alliance.
Now Thanos has climbed to the position of head of the Interstellar Alliance's security department and has successfully entered the lower house of the Interstellar Senate.
"Why are you two here?" Professor X asked.
"Schiler is dragging the superheroes, I'm here to pass on his message." Loki said, "It was he who asked Mr. Thanos to help Apocalypse and the New Skrull Empire to reach a cooperation between the two parties."
Magneto frowned deeply. He didn't think that Schiller would harm mutants. If he wanted to, he would have done it long ago. But he couldn't figure out why he wanted to facilitate the cooperation between Apocalypse and the New Skrull Empire.
Loki didn't keep him in suspense and told him the truth directly, "Mr. Thanos's status in the Interstellar Alliance needs to be raised, and so does humanity."
In an instant, Professor X figured out all the joints.
What does Thanos manage? Interstellar security!
Is the interstellar space safe now? In fact, this period is the safest and most stable period of interstellar space in the past thousand years.
The primary contributor is Asgard. This group of war fanatics returned to their hometown and no longer participated in the cosmic struggle. Of course, the universe became much more peaceful. Although the up-and-coming mutants are also a headache, they are far from reaching the strength of Asgard at its peak.
The problem is that the universe is too safe.
As we all know, the more chaotic and turbulent the times are, the faster the ruling class will change, because you never know which family will suffer a disaster or which family will lead troops to the battle and be killed. When people die, positions will naturally become vacant, and the speed of promotion will be faster.
In order to help Asgard, Schiller had to suggest that Thor stop the war to prevent Ragnarok from coming too early. The nine kingdoms led by Asgard will always be the most powerful umbrella for the earth, which solves the fundamental problem of the earth's security.
But without Asgard, the situation in the universe would be too stable. During the prosperous years, classes would inevitably become rigid. Without wars to fight, no one would be sacrificed. With sufficient resources, there would be no need to fight to the death.
But if these people don’t fight, how can the new upstarts on Earth rise to power?
Since ancient times, there has been one radish per pit in the officialdom. If the radishes that have already been planted are not moved, where will there be new pits for the seedlings to grow?
So Schiller released the mutants.
Mutants are indeed not as strong as Asgard, but we also have to look at how many years Asgard has accumulated. As the eternal emperor of Asgard, Odin has safely completed his long reign and smoothly transferred power to his son.
However, it was not until modern times that mutants had Magneto and Professor X, two young talents, and slowly began to develop. The accumulation of the two sides is incomparable.
Therefore, Asgard can dominate the universe without any scruples, while the mutants are in a state of panic and confusion when they try to rule the entire Andromeda Galaxy.
Although it could cause some trouble to the three empires, it was far from the level of turmoil in the universe that Schiller wanted.
It seems he can't wait any longer.
Professor X pursed his lips, then said, "You should know that this is very risky. If it's just Apocalypse, we can handle the mess he makes no matter how big it is. But if we add two of the three empires..."
What Professor X meant was that conspiracies also needed something to rely on. Mutants had too short a development period, and if both empires were involved, it would be difficult to resolve any chaos that arose.
"Nothing risked, nothing gained," Loki said. "You mutants can sit here and wait for us to arrange everything, but then you will never be able to move forward. Do you know how the All-Father treated those ministers who said that war was too risky?"
This is not a question, nor does it require an answer. Professor X can figure out with a little thought that Asgard was not full of warmongers from the beginning.
At this moment, the man in his fifties deeply realized what it meant that there is nothing new under the sun. Not the sun in the solar system, but every sun in the universe.
What gave birth to a civilization was not gentleness and kindness, but the terrible hunger engraved in their bones, which made them ferocious and violent, crying out for food and never satisfied.
To fight for one's place in the larger cosmic disk is like filling up a car with gas without brakes. Once you step on the accelerator, there is no turning back, and no matter what is in front of you, you will have to smash it to pieces.
This is a huge gamble concerning race and civilization. It's not those who stand still who will be eliminated, but all those who don't step on the accelerator frantically enough will be eliminated.
This is true for the hundreds of countries on Earth, and even more so for the tens of billions of civilizations in the universe. Not only will those who lag behind be beaten, but they will also be destroyed and even all traces of civilization will be wiped out. There is no mercy at all.
Even Magneto, who was called an extremist on Earth, seemed exceptionally gentle after coming to the universe. What had been using his astonishing madness to carve out a bloody path for the Earth from beginning to end was mankind's eternal greed.
"Tell me the whole plan." Professor X said, which meant that he had one foot on the pirate ship.
"It's simple." Loki said, "Let the New Skrull Empire fight the Shi'ar Empire."
Even though he was mentally prepared, Professor X's grip on the wheelchair armrest still tightened instantly.
"Millennium War?!" Professor X looked up and stared at Loki, as if trying to find a joke on his face.
Anyone who has read interstellar history will understand how much the thousand-year war between the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire played a major role in laying the foundation for the current situation in the universe.
"I'm afraid it will take longer than that." Loki showed a ruthless smile on his face, which seemed both innocent and cruel. He said, "When the survival crisis of the nine kingdoms and the Earth is truly over, then we can stop."
Magneto had been standing silently by, and Professor X didn't even need to listen to his inner thoughts to know that his old friend had prepared for the worst.
"We can't live that long." Professor X said: "Many people are speculating about our lifespan. I can only tell you that after we die, we will exist in another way, but we cannot be immortal."
Loki looked at Magneto, who nodded slightly. After a brief pause, he said, "When I die, I will create a universe where we can live forever, but I will die eventually."
Loki was not surprised either. He just sighed and said, "The human body has given you too many restrictions."
"But if we are not human, we may not be able to maintain a human heart." Professor X explained tactfully.
In fact, both of them have long been powerful enough to change their life forms. Professor X can turn into pure electric waves, and Magneto can return to magnetic fields, but once they do so, they will have a completely new perspective.
But no one knows whether they will still be thinking about the survival of mutants at that time, or whether they will simply have a sudden enlightenment and attribute everything to the natural cycle of the universe and no longer interfere. This is the reason why they give up eternal existence.
Loki finally smiled, clenched his hand gently, and something appeared in his hand. He said, "When will Schiller let you work for nothing? Take a look at this."
Professor X frowned and looked at the thing in Loki's hand. It was a small crystal plate with two strange fruit pieces on it. They looked like apples, but the skin was golden.
