Marvel’s Speedsters
Chapter 173
“I want to tell all aliens that your good days are over, and from today onwards, the fate of the earth is in the hands of all earthlings!”
Magneto wore a crimson cloak, his expression solemn, and his momentum was majestic, accompanied by his sonorous and powerful declaration, followed by a wave of his big hand, the steel weapon originally in the hands of the enemy suddenly disintegrated into a cloud of metal dust composed of smoke, instantly shrouding all the powerful alien invaders, as if releasing a war behemoth, swallowing the arrogant alien legion in one gulp.
With the invisible magnetic field fluctuating darkly, countless fine metal particles like dust quickly fused, spreading from a little crystal to the whole body on the enemy, and the silver liquid steel | reflected the dazzling sunlight in the sky, wrapping the enemy tightly in the middle in a circle after circle…
This familiar scene, if seen by those who participated in the attack on Asgard, they may think that it is a repetition of the past, but in fact, it is just a routine performance before a public speech, one of the many changes that have occurred since the coalition returned to Earth.
The news that Prince Asgard, who called himself the god of thunder, descended from the sky and led troops to storm the meeting place of the heads of state, and the impact on the world was far from comparable to that of a government office or research institute where mutants made trouble in the past. It is no exaggeration to say that since humans landed on the moon, nothing has affected public life as profoundly as an alien invasion.
Although the battle near the convention center lasted only a few hours, with the efforts of both the military and police, various superheroes and security companies represented by the Watchmen, the direct loss figures were roughly the same as the last Hulk incident, which seemed to be a small problem, but the specific impact has been very clear, completely different from previous attacks, and the scope of the impact is even surprised by Ross and the others.
Across the United States, millions of people took to the streets screaming that aliens were about to destroy the planet, and thousands of citizens called television stations and police stations to ask the government to send armed forces to protect them. Many New York-area residents even loaded their valuable belongings into cars and took their families to try to escape the city on the verge of becoming a battlefield on crowded highways—- because according to news reports, alien invaders are currently gathering in the center of New York City. Elsewhere, people rushed to church to pray to God, and factories rushed to produce large-caliber guns and gas masks.
The chaos in North America reached a ding point when the familiar Iron Man and others were in crisis, and if it were not for the subsequent entry of Extreme Speed and Magneto and others in the incarnation of Ross, successfully defeating Thor, counterattacking the Asgardians through the Rainbow Bridge Expedition and returning victoriously, the situation might have been even worse.
Under these circumstances, of course, the international conference on sanctions against Latvia could no longer be held, 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 gathered together, and in addition to the local media in the United States, there were many reporters sent by foreign media to experience it firsthand, so the requirement of restraint was impossible to achieve, and various websites and newspapers and radio stations turned a blind eye to official hints, and they seized the opportunity to carry out overwhelming news reports and data analysis.
In just a few days, from the politician-infested parliament halls and secret clubs to the busy workplaces of ordinary people, everyone is hungry for the latest news, and the video of the Earth Alliance expedition to Asgard is repeatedly played on the screen, from university classrooms to park squares, people of all ages and identities are chasing legendary heroes like extraterrestrial comets that visit Earth once in thousands of years.
Since Ross does not want to be exposed to the public eye, it is only natural that the heroic leader of the first Earth Strike Back will be his close comrade Magneto.
In the face of the real threat of aliens, although everyone knows that this gentleman has an extremely disgraceful history, he is ruthless, contemptuous of the law, has repeatedly led public attacks on important institutions, and there are even rumors that he is behind the assassination and death of a president, once wanted by many countries around the world, including the United States, and not long ago presided over the overthrow of a sovereign country and proclaimed himself king, which can be called a heinous crime and bad deeds. But after this unexpected alien invasion, the fickle public at this time selectively forgot the past, calling him a mutant | rights activist, rather than treating him as a terrorist, wholeheartedly enshrined him as a savior.
Faced with such fanatical admiration, Magneto was taken aback, at first felt very uneasy, even a little ashamed, |he felt that he did not do his best, but caused unnecessary losses, once wanted to refuse Ross’s arrangement, but now he is no longer the former leader of the violent organization, now he has his own country and people, under Ross’s repeated persuasion, in order to eliminate the hostility and sanctions of the outside world, he began to try to learn to become a public figure that attracted worldwide attention.
After the initial discomfort phase, now Magneto is slowly getting used to the days of always being surrounded by passionate advocates, although these are not the mutant compatriots he is familiar with, but he has worked for most of his life to protect the goal of mutant survival, and now in a different way, make his old age easier, so that both sides put aside hatred and identify with each other, so it seems that it is not impossible, so Magneto gradually accepts a new life.
Accompanied by the majestic melody of the Radesky March, Magneto ended the day’s performance, and the behind-the-scenes workers came up and removed the lifelike alien statues one by one, and then he began today’s speech.
The crowd of people in the audience, local people and foreign tourists who came to hear the wind crowded the square unusually congested, a large number of banners and slogans flashed in the crowd, magnesium lights shone from all angles.
Amid | loud applause, the image of the leader of the mutant on the expedition to the alien gave a speech to thousands of households through the airwaves.
“This is ridiculous…” In the cutting-edge lab, the storm girl Ororo stared at the screen, as a former important member of the X-Men, she never dreamed that one day people would welcome a guy like Magneto so much.
Hearing her words, others also nodded frequently, most of the people from Xavier Academy had fought with the Brotherhood and stopped Magneto’s conspiracy, from the late Laser-Eyed Scott to the golden steel wolf Logan, who is still jumping happily to this day. Especially the little naughty Mary, who was almost killed by Magneto in the Liberty Island incident, still has two locks of white hair on her forehead, which is evidence of Magneto’s sinister intentions, and when they see that the former tyrant has become a popular hero, it is really difficult to accept from the bottom of their hearts.
“Times need new faces, superheroes are outdated, and now is the time to call for legend.” Ross sat in a wheelchair and spoke out lazily.
After returning from Asgard, he had been using fatigue as an excuse to ask Storm Girl to push him around the lab all day, which used to be a treatment only for professors.
Although he knew that he was just playing on the topic, Ororo, who had always had a good personality, silently accepted his request after a few glances at Ross.
“The PR advised him to change into light-colored clothing to cater to the public mood, but after careful consideration, we decided to stick to the inherent style, after all, what the public needs now is not a harmless family man, but a strong and efficient iron man, his previous clothing habits are full of aggression and deterrence, just in line with the general needs of the moment, the so-called times create heroes is this truth.”
Pepper interjected on the side, they sat at the table and chatted casually, and the professor at the edge of the crowd watched a live video of an old friend’s speech, sighed slightly, moved his wheelchair on his own, left the lounge and disappeared into the long corridor.
The professor’s back was gloomy, and most of his students didn’t notice that he had left, still staring intently at the screen.
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 fascinate, especially when people are under new threats and desperately need protection, and their attitudes often change dramatically in a very short period of time, even Charles Xavier, who controls the heart, is surprised by this drastic change.
Ororo looked at the professor’s back and frowned a little worriedly.
“Maybe we should also make a propaganda to the professor, many people have forgotten his contribution, and even some people simply think that he is dead, I saw that when the newspaper did a comprehensive review today, some people called him a martyr, should we write a letter to the newspaper and ask them to correct their mistakes?”
“What’s wrong with martyrs?” Ross raised his eyebrows, disagreeing in his heart. “I like to teach such a martyr, who has been dedicated all his life and longs for heroic sacrifice, so you just sharpen the knife, adjust the angle, and then silently count three, two, one… The world was clear. ”
“Don’t joke about the professor!” Ororo slapped him hard in disgust to express his dissatisfaction.
“The professor is a good man.” She added.
Rose closed his mouth and |, the situation was good now, he was trying to enjoy a leisurely time, and he had no interest in arguing about the unrelated and his own woman.
However, the storm girl did not let him go, pushing him out of the recreation room, slowly relaxing on the rooftop, while asking the truth in the back.
“Since Magneto’s gain is so great, then what have we gained, don’t tell me, you are bent on mutants, we all know that it is impossible.”
“Our gains?” Ross seemed a little nonchalant. “Of course, we will gain more, more knowledge, new knowledge, more favorable situation, and our business will be facilitated, but most importantly, we will get opportunities.”
“Chance?” Ororo was a little puzzled.
“That’s right, a real opportunity, to get up close and personal with what I want, no one will stand in the way.” Ross sat on the edge of the building, looking at the vast expanse of land in the distance, as if he had revisited the building on the bank of the Potomac River and saw the cube that flashed blue.
Storm Girl was about to continue her inquiry when Rose’s personal assistant, Yuriko Koyama, the death woman, walked over, holding an invitation card in her hand.
“The White House invited Mr. to an emergency meeting.”
