The sign read:
"Mutants are also American citizens."
Everyone understood what was going on.
They were confused and excited.
But the next mutant rushed out, followed by the second, the third, and everyone rushed to the steps.
When they were alone, they didn't dare to make their own voices, and they didn't dare
to compete with the world. But now they gathered together to declare their status and fight for their rights.
Magneto looked at this scene with a smile, and then a tall metal throne appeared under his feet. He sat on it like a real king and hung in the air.
He took the lead and flew out.
The mutants behind him, one after another, excitedly holding banners and signs, walked along the spiral steps from the dark underground to the bright streets.
For the people of New York, this day is destined to be unforgettable.
Because an unprecedented parade marched in front of them, ugly in appearance, but like a monster in mythology, they have all kinds of abilities.
Mutants!
This is the first time that so many mutants have appeared in front of the world, and the number exceeds everyone's imagination.
In the past, although many people knew about the existence of mutants, including the government, they still thought that they were a minority, and even the focus was mostly on mutants who showed threats, especially Charles' school. Now
, they know that the number of mutants has reached a point that cannot be ignored.
This is a riot.
On the surface, it is a demonstration, a struggle for status and rights, but in fact it is a riot to declare its existence and threaten the whole world.
When Shen He got the news from Tony, the riot had been going on for two days and was radiating to the whole world at a very fast speed.
A considerable number of mutants live in the dark side of society.
Including various gangs and illegal organizations.
They now smell the breath of profit.
With Magneto standing in the front to endorse, most mutants choose to stand up, and even use violence to vent their dissatisfaction.
They robbed stores, burned cars, and destroyed public facilities, feeling the fearful eyes of others with excitement.
From the beginning, Magneto never thought that this massive parade could be carried out peacefully and steadily. It is better to say that the current situation is what he intended.
Shen He wants to eliminate the war between mutants and humans?
No, in this war, only mutants are the only winners.
Magneto has never thought of compromising with humans. He intends to use this method to completely push mutants to the opposite side of humans and force Shen He to stand on their side, because mutants are a vulnerable group.
Shen He also understands these purposes.
"What is the current situation?" Shen He came to the world of X-Men and summoned Coulson.
Tony spent a day mobilizing thousands of industrial robots to build a steel base the size of a football field in the Pacific Ocean, on which some basic buildings have been built.
And now, Tony, Coulson, and Shen He are in the conference room.
"The situation is terrible." Coulson gathered videos and news from all over the world on the virtual projection in front of everyone. "Some cities and even countries have begun to use the army to suppress mutants, because the number of casualties and economic losses caused by this riot are constantly increasing. According to the information we monitor, the hardliners in the US government have gradually gained the upper hand."
From the picture, the word "riot" used by Coulson is undoubtedly quite accurate.
This is not a parade at all.
In other words, in this social environment, the vast majority of mutants do not have any qualities, and all they want is to take the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction.
"Why don't we see many Eastern countries?" Shen He looked at the many videos in front of him and found this problem.
Most of these news reports are white faces. Even if there are a few Eastern faces, they are all in Japanese, Korean and other languages, but not even a Chinese one.
Although the theme of this world is on the American side.
But as a complete world, there should be a lot of mutants in China.
"In fact." Coulson has also investigated this aspect. "Huaxia is the only one that is safe and sound in this riot. We have done basic investigations. Once the mutants there are discovered, they will be summoned by the government and uniformly educated and managed. This policy has been secretly continued for decades."
"......Oh."
Shen He could only respond like this in the end.
This is in line with the style of his hometown. The so-called mutant world is a world with superpowers.
I guess the Dragon Group, the Wolf Fang, and the Special Service Team are all available.
And the most important thing.
Shen He has confidence in the parents of Huaxia. The Huaxia in this world also has a population control policy. Even if the children are mutants, as long as they are not dangerous, most parents will treat these children as treasures.
However, according to the theme of this world, there must be no very powerful mutants there. If there is no riot now, it can basically be ignored.
"According to the current situation, do you have any ideas?" Shen He continued to ask.
"It's very troublesome." Coulson also showed a helpless expression. "If this commotion continues, people's panic about mutants will increase dramatically. I'm afraid it won't be long before the government classifies all mutants as thugs and suppresses them in all aspects."
It must be said that if Shen He and others let it go, Magneto's move would be a super bad move.
He himself knew it very well.
Most mutants are useless. Even if they are gathered together to fight against humans, they will probably only be cannon fodder.
And now, this riot is constantly consuming the sympathy of ordinary humans for mutants.
Once all mutants are classified as thugs.
That's probably the beginning of a full-scale war.
Capturing mutants will become an open act.
Shen He didn't know what to say, because Magneto's behavior was completely beyond his calculation.
He had a new understanding of Magneto.
This person is not only cruel to humans, but also to mutants. In other words, he really has a certain heroic nature. No wonder he has so many followers in the original book.
However, war is not what Shen He wants to see.
"What will happen if we jump out now?" Shen He asked.
"I'm afraid it will focus people's attention on us." Tony shrugged, "I'm very familiar with this kind of thing. This is also a way."
Use more shocking news to suppress other news.
In fact, if no tough measures are taken now, this riot may be difficult to suppress.
"What I am more worried about now is the quality of these mutants." Shen He looked at the video, "There are too many people who hate the world. In this case, even if they are gathered together, the city they build will not be what we imagined."
The style of a city is not only determined by the management, but also affected by the residents.
Mutants are difficult to manage.
Even in the Academy City in the Magical Index world, where most of the people are children and receive gentle education, there are still a large number of gangsters and uncontrollable superpower crimes.
Not to mention this world.
Influenced by the overall environment of the world, many mutants with a little strength have been hanging around gangs for a long time, and even have murderous tendencies and twisted psychology.
With the help of this riot, the disadvantages in this regard are completely highlighted.
While Shen He was thinking, Tony and Coulson were just silent.
They are all smart people.
How to solve this situation, or how to solve it, is already clear at a glance, but in the end, only Shen He can make the decision.
"Sure enough." Shen He finally sighed, "I can only take high-pressure actions."
In this situation, it is impossible to build a city harmoniously and freely, and let the mutants live a stable and happy life.
Originally, Shen He planned to use a beautiful city to attract mutants.
But now it seems that a considerable number of mutants are probably not willing to stay in a city. Their ambition may be the whole world, or to find excitement in a lawless life.
"You can call Steve." Tony said, "Maybe it's time to use the Guardian Company."
"Okay." Shen He nodded, "In addition, I don't know much about the current Guardian Company. How are those robot mercenaries now?"
The current Guardian team is already considered a first-class mercenary organization in the world.
It has recruited veterans from all over the world.
The current mission is not only to cooperate with the police in various cities, but also to protect the people in small countries in war.
In addition, the manager is Steve.
It can be said that in terms of protecting freedom, equality, and justice, the Guardian Company has become famous and deeply loved by the people of the world.
Of course, this is also because the World Security Council has basically given up on being an enemy of Chaldea.
At least on the surface.
"You should ask Steve about this kind of thing." Tony said that he didn't know, "Our Captain America is the head of the Guardian Company."
"Okay." Shen He said nothing more.
He thought about the questions he would ask when Steve came over.
The headquarters of the Guardian Company is not in the Sky City, but in the suburbs of New York, the former site of the Virtual Reality Company.
This is mainly because those robot factories, large machinery factories, and even large weapons factories such as aircraft carriers, if placed in the Sky City, would take up too much space.
However, even on the ground, there is nothing to worry about.
Because at this stage, all weapons are inseparable from virtual reality, and the world's only server for virtual reality is on the Sky Garden, which is connected to the world through satellites to maintain the operation of the Guardian Company.
"He, I have a question, I'm curious." Tony suddenly spoke.
"If you have questions, just ask directly. It's not like you to be fussy like this." Shen He rolled his eyes.
"Okay, because I did hesitate for a while." Tony's face was a little solemn, "If you report the crisis of the second parallel universe, what will you do in your Chaldea style?"
"......"
Shen He didn't expect Tony to ask such a question.
Regarding the conflict between the original setting of Chaldea and some of his current behaviors, he had already given a reasonable excuse.
That is, he personally wanted to try to make some changes.
The way Chaldea headquarters solves world crises is usually to send some powerful teams to that world before the crisis can be reversed, and then save it and leave.
Do not interfere with the natural development of human civilization.
But as Shen He's strength increases, he wants to try some different methods, for example, with the help of Chaldea's strength, artificially promote the development of human civilization.
Some of these actions have been tacitly approved by the Chaldea high-level officials, and some actions have not been reported at all, but rely on a loophole in the rules called "flexible behavior".
In the process of saving the world, all rules are based on saving the world as the top priority, and can be flexible.
The above is the excuse Shen He came up with.
Although there may be certain loopholes, no one knows the true situation in Chaldea, and Shen He is indeed restricted in some aspects.
Therefore, it can be explained.
In order to avoid further expansion of loopholes, Shen He usually shows an attitude of not being willing to talk about Chaldea headquarters.
This is probably the reason why Tony hesitated.
"This question... Even if I don't answer it, you should be able to guess it." Shen He sighed, "The war between mutants and humans is an internal fight, and it is not within the scope of Chaldea's intervention. If we observe that this war will lead to the destruction of humanity, then we will intervene at the right time."
"In other words, as long as humanity is not destroyed, it doesn't matter even if billions of people die?" Tony's eyes were a little cold. "
It's impossible to not care." Shen He shook his head, "This is just the principle of maximizing manpower efficiency. Once you decide to intervene, it's natural to save as many people as possible... Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"... I'm a little worried." Tony hesitated again, but finally told the truth, "You borrowed Chaldea's strength and name to do something that doesn't comply with regulations. Is there any problem?"
Although Shen He didn't tell too much about Chaldea's headquarters, what he knew was already too powerful.
The strength of Shen He and others is growing almost every day.
Compared to the beginning, in just less than a year, everyone, especially Shen He and Saiki Kusuo, has grown to such a terrifying level.
What should the real Chaldea headquarters look like?
"In other words, your persecution delusion has started again?" Shen He breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought he had been discovered.
