Glory of the Sun God (Marvel Sun God)

Professor Charles quickly figured out Stark's purpose, and after he figured it out, a look of embarrassment quickly appeared on his face. .

"It's not that I don't want to help you, Mr. Stark. You have to understand that you are not the only ones who are hurt in this disaster, we are also the victims of this disaster. This problem is something we need to face together, and In terms of priority, please forgive me, I must give priority to my compatriots!"

"No, Professor Charles. You can't be so helpless. The lives of countless people are now in your hands. Can you really watch them consume their lives in chaos and unconsciousness? "

"Hell! Show mercy, Professor. They need a hope, a hope of survival. And this can only be pinned on you!"

Stark pleaded with all his strength. With his personality and his current status, this is something that is difficult for people to imagine.But for the mission and responsibility he shouldered, he had to do this.Charles can relate to such difficulties and hardships.And it was precisely because he understood the reason why Stark did this and his suffering that he became increasingly unable to say any words of rejection.

Destroying a proud person's personality is the next best thing.The crux of the matter is that his refusal will affect the lives of countless people.And this is the most embarrassing thing.

Charles, who has lived in a privileged environment since he was a child, has not experienced the kind of tragic past that most of his compatriots have experienced. Even if there are hardships, his hardships are based on his personal standpoint, not race. position.

This makes the biggest difference between him and his good friends, that is, he does not have such an unforgettable hatred for human beings.

Without hatred, naturally it would be impossible to ignore death.Human beings are compassionate and empathic creatures. When he can clearly realize the pain and suffering that others are going through, it is simply impossible for him to turn a blind eye.

But, does he really have the ability to save them and save the humans in this world?

Regarding this, Charles himself was full of doubts.The moment Dormammu appeared before, he could actually feel Dormammu's power.That kind of evil and chaotic spiritual power gave him the terrifying illusion of staring into the bottomless dark abyss.

Unable to fight, this was his truest feeling.And after trying his best to barely protect himself and the compatriots around him, he became more and more certain of this.

The strength of mutants is still based on the fact that their eyes only stay on this corner of the earth.It's like there are no tigers in the mountains and the monkey is the king.When there is no comparison, you can still be arrogant.Once there is a clear contrast, it will be immediately restored to its original shape.

Perhaps in Stark's eyes, Charles is the only way to break the situation and is their hope.But only Charles himself knows that he may not be able to do everything Stark expects.

If this can be done reluctantly, then there is nothing left to say. It will not only satisfy Stark, but also give him an explanation.But if I can't do it, I won't have a clear conscience. Let's not talk about it. I'm afraid there is a possibility of turning against Stark alone.

There are always many tragedies in this world caused by people who have fallen from hope to despair.When a person reaches that time, he can really do anything.Charles didn't want to test Stark on this kind of issue because he knew that what people's hearts can't stand the most is actually a test.

Decisively rejecting the offer on the grounds of lack of ability is the best solution.Being in Radiant City, even if Stark had any complaints, there was nothing he could do about it.Charles has figured out the joints involved, and he really intends to do this.But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly let out a long sigh, and finally said these words.

"I'm not sure, Mr. Stark. You should know that. After all, I am just an old man. My physical condition makes it difficult for me to do anything beyond my capabilities. And What you are asking for now is this kind of thing. I can't give you any guarantee...I can only say, try my best."

"Of course, of course." Finally getting the answer he wanted, Stark naturally agreed and promised hurriedly. "Thank you very much. You have done me a great favor, Professor Charles. I promise you that once order is restored in this country, I will repay you, I swear."

"Let's talk about repayment later. I just hope that one day, I won't regret what I did today."

How is it possible that Stark only wants to say one thing about Charles' concerns?But when he thought of the nasty things the U.S. government had done to mutants, it was difficult for him to open his mouth again.

Professor Charles can also be regarded as a person who has made great contributions to this country.Among other things, his contribution was to prevent a nuclear war between the two superpowers during the Cold War.

If he were an ordinary person, he would probably have the Congressional Medal hanging on his chest.But just because he is a mutant and the kind of mutant that poses a huge threat, not only does he fail to get the honor he deserves, but he also suffers from fear and unfair treatment.

From the implementation of the Mutant Sanctions Act to the military's X weapon program, there is no intention of treating mutants like him as human beings.Not to mention that this country also launched a war of extermination against mutants.With such a premise, no matter how thick-skinned Stark is, he probably won't be able to say anything about the government's credibility being trustworthy.

Although that was the previous administration's problem, the previous administration was also the United States government.Sitting in this position, it is impossible for him to say that he has no connection at all.So at this point, he will definitely take the blame.And it is almost doomed to bear such a blame. It is much more reliable for him to remain silent at this time than to make loud and empty promises.

They are probably tired of hearing the lies of politicians. In comparison, I am afraid that actual actions are more convincing.This is something that will happen in the future, and Stark already has an idea in his mind on how to deal with the conflicts between mutants and this country.

Of course, this is not something to focus on right now.The most important thing now is to see what the mutants can do.And all this can only depend on Charles' ability.

Charles still has some skills. After all, the title of the most powerful mind controller on earth did not come out of thin air.He does have such strength. At his peak, he could even control the entire human mind by himself.

But as he said himself, he is old and his body is no longer what it used to be.If he could intimidate the entire world through mind control back then, now, he can only do half of that at best, or even less than that.

Aging is the shackles that death uses to bind all living beings, which few people can escape.Charles is not that special yet, so naturally he cannot escape this vicious circle.However, having said that, it does not mean that he has no ability at all.After all, the most outstanding talent of mankind is the use of tools, and if it is with the help of some external forces, Stark's request will not be difficult for him.

He also made up his mind, and then immediately gave instructions to Ororo beside him.

"Push me to the basement, Ororo. I think it's time to use the psychic amplifier."

"I don't quite understand, Professor. Why did you agree to Mr. President's request? Judging from what you said before, you can definitely refuse him, right?"

Come, Ororo has been with him, learning how to take his place and manage this city of mutants.And until now, Ororo is still a little behind.

Just like now, she couldn't understand Professor Charles' behavior.Obviously he had declined Stark so politely before, why did he still choose to agree to his request in the end?She was puzzled, so while pushing Charles' wheelchair, she asked him for advice.

Ororo's lack of spirituality in this regard is what makes Charles most uneasy.The most important thing a qualified leader should learn is to know when to compromise and when not to do so.Assessing the situation is what leaders, especially dovish leaders like them, need to possess most.But Ororo just doesn't have this factor. She is too upright and can't learn to be flexible at all.

Whenever this happens, Charles misses his other student.Jean Grey, a mutant with psychic abilities like him, is actually the best candidate to be a leader.

Psychic powers give them the talent to see through people's hearts, and with this talent, they can always face opponents with ulterior motives with ease and ease.Over the years, he has been able to run his own mutant school in New York under heavy taboos. This talent is definitely indispensable.

In his original vision, Jean Gray and Scott were the two students he was most proud of.One relies on his spiritual talent to see into people's hearts, and the other relies on his own execution ability to control them as a whole. When they are combined, it is almost inevitable that they can push the mutant school to an unprecedented peak. However, it is a pity that this kind of thing can't be done in the end. It can only exist in his imagination.

Whether it was Jean Gray's separation from them or Scott's wrong trip, it was the pain in his heart that he could hardly let go.But under such pain, he had to cheer up and think about the future of their race.

Ororo is the only student he can trust and the only student he feels he can entrust with such a big responsibility.Others either don't have this ambition, or they simply don't have the talent in this area.Although Ororo still lacks some sense, she can still make some achievements.This is just like polishing stubborn iron into a tool. As long as you work hard enough, you can still see some polish.

He felt so, so he always spared no effort in teaching Ororo.Just like now, Ororo didn't understand why he chose to do this, so he carefully analyzed all his thoughts to her from beginning to end.

"I know what you don't understand, Ororo. You don't know why I would choose to compromise, and on such a thankless thing, right?"

"Yes, Professor. We don't need to compromise with humans anymore, do we?"

Ororo nodded, his expression full of disgust and rejection of so-called human beings.Seeing her look like this, Charles could only sigh and say this to her.

"Don't forget what I once told you, don't let your subjective emotions dominate your judgment. I know that you have always been worried about what humans have done, and I can understand your thoughts. But don't forget , they are still the masters of this world, and as long as we are not fully accepted by them, we must have good dealings with them. Helping them as much as possible is a very appropriate way, isn't it? ?”

"But our status is different now. We live here now and are protected by that person. Human beings can't do anything to us anymore, and we don't need to look at their faces anymore. In this case, why do we still have to To please those despicable humans?”

Ororo looked a little excited. Obviously, she could not easily let go of what humans had done.

This is normal.I think she was a simple and passionate person back then.For those humans, for their lives and property, she has embarked on the journey more than once.For this reason, she even made enemies of her own compatriots, and what was the result?No one thinks highly of them. In the war waged by humans against them, they are also one of the people who will be eliminated.

Such treatment was enough to dampen the passion in her heart and make her feel unworthy of what she had done.

Humans don't deserve this.She firmly believes in this, and with such a concept, she certainly cannot accept Charles's behavior that is biased towards humans.

It can be said that if her respect for Charles had not been engraved in her bones, she would really think that Charles was crazy and would do such a stupid thing.And has Charles lost his mind and gone crazy?The answer is of course no.Although he is old, he is not old enough to be so dim.Since he made this choice, he certainly had his reasons.

"Do you really think that we can sit back and relax now that we live in this city of our own and enjoy the protection of that person? Ororo, use your brain and think about it carefully. Think about this city. The changes that have taken place in the past few years. If you can really see clearly what kind of changes are hidden behind this, you will understand that the happiness here is not eternal after all."
