Chapter 593: Draping in Yellow Robes
Scott and others, although unwilling to let Power Princess, a former enemy, be alone in a room with their leader, could not disobey Magneto's orders.
Moreover, Magneto was indeed the strongest among them, and Power Princess alone could not do anything to him.
Scott and the others were unwilling, but they had to retreat, which gave Yang Le an opportunity to understand what was happening.
"Remy! Scott!" Yang Le called out loudly to the two. "What exactly happened? Why did Power Princess of the Squadron Supreme suddenly come to Mutant Island?"
"We are not very clear either." Scott shook his head. "If Jean hadn't discovered it early, we might not have known that someone had broken into the Island until now."
"Listening to her tone, it seems like she's asking Principal for help." Gambit kept shuffling cards in his hand. "It seems that Human society over there is not as harmonious as we are here."
"Let's wait. When Principal finishes talking with that Power Princess, we should know what's going on."
"That's the only way." Yang Le nodded, bid farewell to Scott and the others, and walked towards his Farmland, while also focusing his attention on the flowers in the Principal's Office.
…
"Tell me." Magneto placed a chair next to Power Princess. "What matter requires Power Princess to grace us with her presence, and in such a wounded state?"
"Thank you." Power Princess placed her weapon at her foot, and then sat down generously on the chair. "Thank you for your trust, agreeing to talk to me alone."
"I just believe in my strength." Magneto did not accept the other party's compliment. "Just say what you have to say directly, and don't waste our time."
Power Princess sighed, and then told Magneto everything that had happened, even telling Magneto about General Ross's human experiment.
It should be known that Magneto's protectiveness of his own is famous. If he knew that mutants had received news of cruel experiments, he might fly into a rage and vent his anger on someone.
Power Princess also thought so. She was also drumming in her heart when she said this, but in order to gain Magneto's trust, she had to be unreserved. In her opinion, only in this way could she move the other party.
But to her surprise, Magneto just slightly raised his eyes after hearing about the human experiment and did not become furious as she had expected.
"Continue speaking, I think you came not just to tell me this news, right?"
Mutants are busy building a Nation, so they don't pay much attention to news from the outside world. Yang Le's clone, who is an undercover agent on Mutant Island, also only learned about this today. Unexpectedly, the outside world has become so chaotic.
"Isn't this the beginning of Civil War?" Yang Le sat under the great tree and muttered to himself. "There aren't even Avengers yet, how did it jump straight to Civil War?"
The tree that Yang Le was leaning against was not chosen casually. It should be known that although Swampfire has the ability to control plants, he cannot directly share the plants' vision with himself.
To complete this maneuver, Yang Le must connect with the plants that serve as cameras. One or two plants are okay, but more are not only easy to expose but also very inconvenient.
So Yang Le came up with a method, which is to build a Cerebro for himself like Professor X, which is the tree he is leaning against.
This sky-reaching tree is not only Yang Le's current residence, but it also connects all the plants on the Island. As long as Yang Le connects his body with the great tree, all the plants on the Island can become his eyes.
Even the situation in Magneto's office cannot escape his eyes.
"That's right." Power Princess smiled wryly. "Because of General Ross's rumor, basically no one in the outside world believes in Hyperion anymore."
"If it were before, Hyperion might have disdained it, but now is a very special period, so we need your help."
"For that Superhuman Registration Act?" Magneto smiled dismissively. "Princess, I hope you don't forget that not long ago we were still enemies drawing swords against each other, and you were also part of the persecution of mutants."
"Now that you have become the persecuted, you want to drag the mutants who have finally escaped the vortex into the water? Do you think I am very stupid?"
"Mutants have not all escaped the vortex." Power Princess showed a triumphant smile. "We all know that the mutants on Mutant Island now may not even be one-tenth of all mutants."
"What do you mean?" Magneto straightened up slightly, as if finally becoming interested.
"Leaving aside the mutants worldwide, just speaking of within America, there are still many mutants wandering around."
Power Princess stood up and continued, "Taking advantage of this Superhuman Registration Act, we can find all the mutants, and then I will persuade Hyperion to hand over all the mutant registers to you."
"At that time, you will no longer have to bother searching for compatriots. You help us first, and we will help you later. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
"A bit interesting." The corner of Magneto's mouth slightly curved up. "It seems I really have no reason to refuse, but I need to talk to Hyperion myself. You are just a messenger, and you are not qualified to make decisions for him."
"Of course." Power Princess nodded. The stone in her heart landed at this time because the most difficult part of this matter had been solved by her.
As long as Magneto is willing to talk, then this matter is basically already successful. As for Hyperion, it is not a problem at all. Even if there is a problem, she can solve it.
After discussing the specific time and location, Magneto was ready to open the door to send off the guest, but who would have thought that Power Princess did not leave.
"Is there something else?" Magneto frowned.
"I have one more business to discuss with you." Power Princess looked at Magneto in front of her seriously. "Are you preparing to become the King of all Mutants?"
Magneto raised his eyebrows. He did not expect the topic to jump so quickly, and this topic was somewhat sensitive even for him.
"If there are no accidents, I should become the leader of the mutants, right?"
A trace of red light flashed in Magneto's eyes, but neither Power Princess nor Yang Le in the dark noticed it.
"Then I am now talking to the King of Mutants." Power Princess nodded. "I am preparing to make Hyperion the King of Humans, starting with occupying the current Nation."
Magneto's pupils shrank slightly, obviously shocked by Power Princess's statement. Not to mention him, even Yang Le, who considered himself to have a strong ability to accept things, almost couldn't catch his breath when he heard this news.
