Chapter 602: Transformation of Identity
On the outskirts of the New York Ruins, robust plants sprung up from the ground, far surpassing those ancient trees in the tropical rainforest, making one think of the fantasy plants that only exist in human fantasy.
These plants, tightly connected to form a wall, were Yang Le's masterpiece, but he was only the executor. The mastermind was naturally Magneto, who stood behind him giving command.
Last night, after Magneto returned, he emergency summoned all the mutants who could fight, even including the students led by Piotr.
Everyone was unclear about what Magneto wanted to do, but anyone could see that he had a major business to announce; otherwise, there would have been no need to summon even the students.
As expected, Magneto announced the matter of joining forces with Hyperion. This matter shocked all the mutants, including Yang Le, who was mixed in among them.
Magneto required everyone to participate in the plan to capture superhumans, for which he gave a grand-sounding reason.
"This is all for those compatriots who are scattered outside," Magneto sighed deeply. "Hyperion threatens me; if I don't help him, then he will deal with those mutants alone, and as for how to deal with them, of course, it's up to him."
"Do you still remember those research institutes we destroyed? Those were all his father's work, and I'm very afraid that he will also inherit his father's mantle."
As soon as these words came out, the mutants who were originally still hesitant immediately exploded, of course, they exploded at Hyperion.
"We can't tolerate it anymore, Principal!" Gambit clenched his fist. "Those guys will only go further and further."
Others also meant the same thing. Regardless of whether they were younger students or more mature adults, on this matter, they rarely unified the battle line.
Even the usually quick-witted Li Qianhuan was shouting and cheering there, showing how much damage those outsiders had caused to the mutants. The only person on the scene who could remain calm was probably Yang Le, this outsider.
No, there might be another one, Magneto, who brought up the topic and fanned the flames.
Yang Le frowned. The words just now didn't sound like something Magneto would say. Igniting everyone's emotion, and frankly talking about the hatred between mutants and humans in front of the children, this was definitely not something a leader should do.
The Magneto just now and the Magneto of the past were simply vastly different.
Magneto raised his palm and pressed down, and the room once again returned to silence.
"Now is not the time, children," Magneto said with a kind expression. "We still have compatriots in their hands. For their safety, we cannot act rashly. When we have brought all our compatriots back, it will be time for us to settle accounts with them."
"I believe that day will not be too late."
Next, Magneto said a few more inspiring words, pushing everyone's emotion to the highest point, and then he simply arranged the mission and dismissed everyone.
When leaving, Yang Le paid attention to observe everyone's expression. Because of his Plant Person appearance, no one knew where his eyes were exactly, so it was no exaggeration to say he was openly peeking.
Although everyone's expressions were different, it was not difficult to see that their emotions were very high. Obviously, they were all aroused by Magneto's emotion.
However, in Yang Le's view, this emotion was wrong. In secret, the seed of hatred had already grown vigorously in the hearts of the mutants. If this continued, humans and mutants would sooner or later become irreconcilable enemies.
That was definitely not what Yang Le wanted to see. Whether it was a fight between two tigers or a fight between a snipe and a clam, this kind of irreconcilable situation would not end well for either side.
Could Yang Le intervene? The answer was yes, but he couldn't directly interfere.
Eternity had already told him that for existences of their level, wanting to change something was just a matter of a thought, but that was definitely not correct.
Yang Le certainly understood this reason. Everyone has their own life, and they are not anyone's toy. Eternity reminded him that he should observe this universe with the mentality of an observer.
That day, Yang Le finally understood the reason why Ben Tennyson sealed Alien X.
Indeed, Yang Le could use Alien X to solve everything that was happening, but that would be no different from turning on cheat mode in a game. Even if he turned the world upside down, everything would be meaningless.
Eternity reminded him that he should use the identity of a guide to help these people, rather than taking everything into his arms like a super hero, because seeing him as a super hero would be too overpowered.
Therefore, Yang Le, as a guide, was now looking for the key to break the situation, looking for the person who could break the situation, and coincidentally, he actually found one.
Like him, in the crowd of indignant people, there was a calm figure. She was observing her partner with a gaze that ordinary person would hardly notice. Obviously, she had not fallen into Magneto's trap.
That person was Magik—Illyana, who had just returned from Limbo. Perhaps because of her growing environment, the deceit and trickery in Hell had not been able to make her fall, and Magneto's majesty accumulated in the past could not affect her either.
She should have seen Magneto's abnormality and was about to find someone to talk to, but found that everyone had fallen into a state of fanaticism, so she was unable to make an opening.
'It's you!' Yang Le nodded silently in his heart.
Because it was late at night, everyone did not publicize it too much, but just gathered at the doorway for a while and then left.
Illyana returned to her room and sighed. She suddenly felt that Mutant Island might not be a good place to go. The meeting just now was like some kind of cult party, which could be said to be Magneto's one-man rule.
Illyana wanted to take her brother Piotr away, but her brother, who was steady and generous in her memory, had also become one of those fanatics. Facing her somewhat unfamiliar brother, she really didn't know how to make an opening.
"Tsk!" Illyana sat on the bed unhappily. She had already seen that Magneto's status in her brother's heart was now almost like that of a father. If she raised a question at this time, she might only receive a lecture.
It might also attract Magneto's suspicion, which would be very unfavorable to them as siblings.
Illyana couldn't help but rub her hair. Even in the deceitful and treacherous Hell, she rarely used her brain. She usually just directly hacked her way through with the Soulsword.
In Hell, the time she used her brain the most was when she was studying.
Illyana, feeling irritable in mood, couldn't help but look at the flower cluster outside the window, hoping that these beauty plants would give her some idea. However, she saw a surprising scene.
A bunch of fresh flowers in the flower cluster outside the window, like a snake, climbed onto her windowsill and slowly crawled into her room.
