I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 10 Unstoppable

This is because they were at school, and Charles used his mind reading ability to discover this matter. But how did Magneto get the news so quickly? Charles thought about it and could only come to one conclusion, that is, Magneto had a direct relationship with this matter.

"Magneto!" Charles, realizing this, suddenly became furious, followed by a deep sense of powerlessness. For the first time, he called his old friend by his alias instead of his real name.

But now, even if he shouted with all his might, it was no use. At this moment, Charles seemed to have lost all his strength, and he leaned weakly on the back of the wheelchair.

Eric knew how smart his old friend was, and he could figure out a lot of things as long as there was a little clue. But now the whole plan had been set in motion, like a boulder rolling down a mountain.

The boulder rolled forward, crushing anyone who stood in its way mercilessly. Therefore, Eric no longer cared whether Charles had guessed something by now.

Magneto looked at Charles's powerlessness with satisfaction. Charles now no longer had the spirit of the past and looked more like a real old man.

"So, Charles. I have chosen which side to stand on for you. The future of mutants requires our joint efforts." Magneto looked at Charles leaning weakly in the wheelchair, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Why?" Charles lowered his head and asked in a tired and confused voice: "Why? Why did you let those two kids kill Macaulay? Everything you are doing now will only make the situation of the mutants worse!"

When Charles said the last sentence, he almost shouted it out at the top of his lungs.

Facing Charles's anger, Eric did not waver or show any sympathy. He replied calmly and calmly: "The reason is very simple, Charles. Because Macaulay is also a mutant, and a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants!"

Magneto's words were like a bolt from the blue. Charles looked up suddenly and looked at Magneto in disbelief. "What did you say?" Charles couldn't believe what he heard.

Macaulay is actually a mutant, and a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants! Then what about the anti-mutant bills he promoted? Charles had more questions in his mind.

"That's right, my old friend. Senator Macaulay does belong to the Brotherhood of Mutants, and is a member who has a fanatical belief in the mutant revival cause." Eric continued to explain.

"Well, don't look at me like that. Although some mutants do master the skill of faking their own death to deceive others. But Macaulay is really dead, killed by your students. Your students have blood on their hands because of this, and that has not changed."

Eric felt satisfied as he watched the hope fade in Charles' eyes.

"Why?" Charles asked again. This "why" contained multiple meanings: Why did Macaulay, a mutant, do those things? Why did he let his own students kill Macaulay? And what benefit would Macaulay's death bring to Eric? Many questions were contained in this "why".

Eric looked at his former friend, who had a confused and even painful expression on his face, and said slowly and sadly: "For the mutants, Charles."

"You know, after going through so much suffering in the concentration camps and seeing so many of my people being killed, I should have understood this - peace is never achieved through compromise."

Eric adjusted the cuffs of his windbreaker and continued, "I am a Jew, a Jew living in Germany. When I was a child, when I was still a child. Everything I experienced..."

"At first, the Nazi decree was just that Jews were not allowed to sit on park benches. So I stopped going to the park, and my mother told me: Be patient, everything will pass."

"Then the Nazis ordered all Jews to wear a star. So I had a star on my chest to show my difference from others. This made me lose friends at school. But my mother still told me: Be patient, everything will pass."

"Then my father's grocery store was hit hard. Nazi law stipulated that all Jewish shops had to pay high taxes because they claimed that it was immoral for Jews to make money. Our lives became more and more difficult. But my mother still said to me: Be patient, everything will pass."

"Then, I was expelled from school, and my family was forced to leave our community. The Nazis implemented new laws that required all Jews to live together and all Jewish children to attend the same school. We were taught in school that Jews were born guilty and that they needed to spend their lives atonement. Even at that point, my mother still told me: Be patient, everything will pass."

"Until we were sent to a concentration camp and my mother died in front of me, she could no longer say to me: Be patient, everything will pass. Because in this world, some things will never pass!"

At this point, Eric's facial features began to distort.

"When I was at my lowest point in life, I met you and Hank. You persuaded me to join your organization, to cleanse my past sins, and we could let mutants rise in a peaceful way. But look at what I have now, Charles!"

Magneto put his hands on the armrests of Charles' wheelchair, his face was extremely close to Charles, and his angry roar sounded like a dragon's roar, as if he wanted to tear Professor Charles apart.

"My wife and baby are gone! All gone! Since then, I've understood. No matter how time passes, no matter how strong I become, my situation has not changed. I am still the kid who was kicked out of the park, kicked out of school, and eventually locked up in a concentration camp!"

"The government today is no different from the Nazis back then. Charles, the peace philosophy you advocate is just like what my mother said to my mutant companions and children: Be patient, it will eventually pass. But Charles, there are some things that you can't tolerate!"

"Now, the mutant population seems to be tolerable, Charles. But this is actually like boiling a frog in warm water, just like pushing me into the concentration camp step by step. If we had resisted at the beginning, perhaps my parents would not have died in the concentration camp! That kind of endurance and concession is truly fatal."

Eric looked Charles straight in the eyes, a determined gleam in his eyes.

"When the mutants get used to their current lives and continue to endure the increasing interference and control of human society, when everything starts to explode, our fate will be over! So I have been thinking about this problem over the years."

Eric suddenly said something that surprised Charles: "I understand that violence cannot solve the fundamental problem, Charles."

Professor Charles was extremely shocked. Eric had done so much, but he still said that violence was not the solution to the problem. So why did he still resort to violence?

Fortunately, Eric's next words revealed the answer: "Violence really can't solve the problem, only revolution can!"

"My real name is Marx. There is a philosopher with the same name in my hometown. The thought he founded - communism - ignited the flames of revolution in Eastern Europe and Asia." Eric calmly expressed his views.

"That revolutionary from the East once said something that I deeply agree with: Where there is oppression, there is resistance! The greater the oppression, the stronger the resistance!"

"Boiling a frog in warm water is slowly wearing away the lives of us mutants. When we want to resist, we find that we are powerless. So, why not just push all mutants to the brink of life and death? Only in this way can we unite and gather strength!"

Magneto's ideas seem extremely radical, and Charles has been so deeply shocked by Eric's philosophy that he can't even respond.

"Many years ago, I was thinking about how to implement this plan. When I was working with you to form the X-Men, I learned a lot from the officials of the US government, those dirty and despicable political methods."

Magneto said, with a hint of smile on his face, "So I thought of the current solution. Since the human government can create an X-weapon plan against mutants, why can't I develop an anti-X plan? Use drugs to control the X gene in the mutant's body and make it invisible. As long as you don't use your mutant ability, your identity will not be exposed."

"We can form companies and push politicians. Propose new bills. The introduction of those cold and cruel bills will surely make all mutants realize how fake their current lives are."

"Only in this way will they abandon their false illusions and come to my side. The death of Congressman Macaulay is a good inducement, and I am grateful for his sacrifice for our great cause."

Charles was silent for a long time before he finally spoke, his voice low and weak: "Do you know how many mutants will die?"

"Great causes require noble sacrifices, Charles." Magneto didn't care.

"So, actually, Master Illusion and Stryker are both fake, right? It's a trap you set."

"Yes, Jason is a key character. I rescued him a long time ago. Including Paul, I found him before he lost control. Because of the out-of-control mutant incident, you began a large-scale search for out-of-control mutants, and the reappearance of the X-Men gave me an opportunity. Do you think Paul's abilities were simply out of control?" Magneto had a victorious smile on his face.

"By now, your students, the new generation of X-Men have probably completely destroyed Stryker's secret base. Well done, because I hate the Weapon X program just as much! Think about it, Charles."

"When Stryker went to Washington to try to convince Congress to pass a bill, his base was destroyed by a group of mutants. What do you think will happen to him? Your students killed a city council member, and your mentor destroyed a US military base. What kind of situation will your school be in?"

Magneto said in an unquestionable tone: "There is a good saying in the East: The tide of history is mighty and powerful. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Now, the wheel of history has turned."

"You are always indecisive and unable to distinguish right from wrong. As your old friend, I will help you make the decision this time, Charles. This time, let us work together for the mutants!"
