"I want to tell all aliens that your good days are over, starting today, the fate of the earth is in the hands of all earth people!"

Magneto was wearing a crimson cloak, with a solemn expression and a mighty and unyielding aura. Accompanied by his sonorous declaration, followed by a big wave of his hand, the steel weapon originally in the hands of the enemy disintegrated into a cloud of metal dust. In an instant, all the powerful alien invaders were enveloped, as if releasing a giant war beast, swallowing the arrogant alien army in one gulp.

As the invisible magnetic field fluctuates secretly, countless dust-like fine metal particles quickly integrate, spreading from a point of crystal to the whole body of the enemy, the silvery steel liquid reflects the dazzling sunlight of the sky, and circles and circles The enemy is tightly packed in the middle...

If this familiar scene is seen by those who have participated in the attack on Asgard, they may think that it is a repeat of the past, but in fact, this is just a routine performance before a public speech, which happened after the coalition forces returned to Earth One of many changes in .

Prince Asgard, who called himself Thor, descended from the sky and led his troops to attack the meeting place of the heads of state. The impact of this news on the world is far beyond that of Mutant's troubles in a certain government agency or research institution in the past. It is no exaggeration to say that since man landed on the moon, nothing has affected public life as profoundly as an alien invasion.

Although the battle near the exhibition center lasted only a few hours, thanks to the 14 efforts of both the military and the police, various superheroes, and security companies represented by Watchmen, the number of direct losses is roughly the same as the previous green titan incident. It doesn't seem like a big problem, but the specific impact has been clearly revealed, which is completely different from previous attacks. Even Ross and others were surprised by the wide range of attacks.

All over the United States, millions of people yelled wildly and ran to the streets, thinking that aliens were about to destroy the earth. Thousands of citizens called TV stations and police stations to ask the government to send armed forces for protection. Many residents of the New York area even packed their valuables into their cars and took their families on congested roads trying to escape the city that was about to become a battlefield -- because according to news reports, alien invaders are currently gathering in downtown New York . Elsewhere, people went to church to pray to God, and factories rushed to produce large-caliber guns and gas masks.

The chaos in North America reached its climax when Iron Man and others, whom people were familiar with in the past, were in crisis. If it hadn’t been for Ross’s incarnation of Speed ​​and Magneto and others to join the battlefield, successfully defeating Thor, counterattacking the Asgards through the Bifrost expedition and returning victoriously, Maybe it's even worse.

Under such circumstances, the international conference on sanctions against Latvinia could definitely not be held again, and the changes that Ross had promised in advance were fulfilled as scheduled.

Afterwards, the White House hoped that the press would report the news with relative restraint, but the incident occurred at a time when world leaders were gathering together. In addition to the local American media, there were also many reporters sent by foreign media to experience it personally, so restraint and the like It is impossible to realize the request. Various websites, newspapers and radio stations turned a blind eye to the official hints. Instead, they seized the opportunity and launched overwhelming news reports and data analysis.

In just a few days, from the parliamentary halls and secret clubs where politicians haunt, to the busy workplaces of ordinary people, everyone is eagerly pursuing the latest news. From university classrooms to park squares, people of all ages and identities chase the legendary heroes like an extraterrestrial comet that visits the earth once in thousands of years.

Since Ross does not want to be exposed to the public eye, the heroic leader of the first Earth Strikes Back is definitely his close comrade-in-arms Magneto.

In the face of the real threat of aliens, although everyone knows that this gentleman has had an extremely disgraceful history. He was ruthless, defied the law, and led the crowd to attack important institutions many times. There are even rumors that he was assassinated by a certain president. The behind-the-scenes man who was once wanted by many countries around the world, including the United States, not long ago presided over the overthrow of a sovereign country and established himself as king. But after the unexpected incident of alien invasion, the fickle public chose to forget the past at this time, and called him a Mutant rights activist instead of treating him as a terrorist, and wholeheartedly regarded him as a savior general presence.

Faced with such fanatical praise, Magneto was taken aback. At first he felt very uneasy and even a little ashamed. He felt that he had not done his best, but had caused unnecessary losses. He once wanted to reject Ross's arrangement, but now he He is no longer the former leader of a violent organization. Now he has his own country and citizens. Under Ross's repeated persuasion, in order to eliminate the hostility and sanctions from the outside world, he began to try to learn to become a public figure that attracts worldwide attention.

After the initial period of discomfort, now Magneto is slowly getting used to being surrounded by enthusiastic supporters. Although these people are not the Mutant compatriots he is familiar with, he has worked hard for most of his life to protect the goal of Mutant survival. Now change the way , Let his old age live more easily, so that both parties can let go of their hatred and agree with each other. It seems that it is not a bad idea, so Magneto gradually accepts the new life.

Accompanied by the majestic and passionate melody of the Radesky March, Magneto ended today's performance, and the behind-the-scenes workers came up and removed the lifelike alien portrait—"Then he began today's speech.

There was a huge crowd of people in the audience, and the square was extremely crowded with local people and foreign tourists who heard the news. A large number of banners and slogans flashed among the crowd, and the spotlights frequently shone from all angles.

Amidst the intense applause, the scene of the speech made by the Mutant leader on the expedition to aliens spread to thousands of households through radio waves.

"This is really absurd..." In the cutting-edge laboratory, Ororo the Storm stared at the screen and couldn't stop talking. As an important member of the X-Men before, she never dreamed that one day people would welcome people like Magneto so much. guy.

Hearing her words, the others also nodded frequently. Most people from Xavier College have fought against Brotherhood and stopped Magneto's conspiracy. From the late Cyclops Scott to the still romping Wolverine Logan, everyone has faced him Pain flat. Especially the little naughty Mary, who was almost killed by Magneto during the Liberty Island incident. Now she still has two locks of white hair on her forehead, which is evidence of Magneto's sinister intentions. When they saw that the former tyrant turned into a popular hero , I really feel unacceptable from the bottom of my heart.

"The era needs new faces, superheroes are outdated, now is the time to call for legends." Sitting in a wheelchair, Ross expressed his opinion lazily.

After returning from Asgard, he has been using the excuse of feeling tired and weak, asking Storm to push herself around the laboratory all day, which was a treatment only professors enjoyed in the past.

Although he knew that he was just taking advantage of the problem, Ororo, who has always been a good character, silently accepted his request after giving Ross a few glances.

"The public relations suggested that he change into light-colored clothes to cater to the public sentiment, but we decided to stick to the inherent style after careful consideration. After all, what the public needs now is not a harmless family man, but a strong and efficient strongman. His previous Dressing habits are full of aggressiveness and deterrence, just in line with the general needs of the moment, and this is the reason why the so-called current situation creates heroes."

Pepper interrupted, they sat at the table and chatted casually, the professor at the edge of the crowd watched the live video of his old friend's lecture, sighed slightly, moved the wheelchair by himself, left the lounge and disappeared into the long corridor .

The professor's back is lifeless, and most of his students didn't realize that he had left, and they were still staring at the screen engrossed.

The two different treatments are exactly the portrayal of the different paths of the professor and Magneto.

The weak may attract sympathy, but the strong will fascinate people, especially when people are faced with new threats and urgently need to seek protection, their attitudes will often undergo a drastic change in a very short period of time, even if they control Charles Xavier of Mind was also surprised by this drastic change.

337 Ororo looked at the back of the professor, frowning with concern.

"Perhaps we should also do a publicity campaign for the professor. Many people have forgotten his contribution, and some even thought he was dead. When I saw a comprehensive review in today's newspaper, some people called him a martyr. Shall we write a letter to the newspaper and ask them to correct the mistake?"

"What's wrong with being a martyr?" Ross raised his eyebrows, disapproving. "I like to teach such a martyr. He has devoted his whole life and is eager to make a heroic sacrifice. So you just need to sharpen the knife, adjust the angle, and count three, two, one...the world will be clean."

"Don't make fun of the professor!" Ororo patted him reproachfully, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"The professor is a good man," she added later.

Ross kept his mouth shut, the situation was good now, he just wanted to enjoy his leisure time, and he was not interested in arguing with his woman over people who had nothing to do with him.

But Stormy didn't let him go, she pushed him out of the entertainment room, slowly relaxing on the roof, and asked the truth behind her.

"Since Magneto has gained so much, what have we gained? Don't tell me, you are only thinking about Mutant. We all know that is impossible."

"Our harvest?" Ross looked a little casual. "Our gain is definitely more, wider knowledge, more novel knowledge, more favorable situation, our business will also be facilitated, but most importantly, we will get opportunities."

"Opportunity?" Ororo was a little puzzled.

"That's right, a real opportunity to get close to what I want, and no one will stop me." Ross sat on the edge of the building, looking at the vast and vast land in the distance, as if he had come to the place on the banks of the Potomac River again. A building, see the cube flashing blue light.

Just as Storm was about to continue asking, Ross' personal assistant, Yuriko Koyama, came over with an invitation in her hand.

"White House invites Mr. to emergency meeting.".
