Marvel's Speedsters

“I refuse.” Magneto repeated.

“Sorry, Ross, I promised to strike for you once, but attacking Asgard is different from our agreement. It’s a big problem, it’s not in our agreement at all, I’m afraid I’m going to refuse. You should know that my enemies are humans, they are discussing how to deal with my country in the convention center below, and now that La Torvinia is desperately needing every bit of strength, you want me to accompany you on an expedition against aliens that have nothing to do with you, and if I promise you, then I am really crazy. Magneto said solemnly, standing up and leading people to leave.

“Can you kill time with hopeless state visits to settle your country back down?” IMHO, then you and your country are not far from the day of collapse. Ross sat down in his chair and said to Magneto’s back.

“It’s better than investing precious resources in meaningless consumption.” Magneto stopped and turned sideways with a gloomy face.

Now he is well aware of his situation. Although the establishment of the mutant state has won a piece of land for his compatriots and will no longer be driven and persecuted, it has also invisibly stopped him. The strength of the Brotherhood was originally secrecy, and the various means were unguardable, and even the superpowers were not willing to easily provoke an asymmetric war on their own soil.

This advantage had allowed the mutant world and the major powers to maintain a balance of power for a long time, and everyone had scruples of each other and maintained general peace for the time being, but since the small countries of distant Eastern Europe were conquered by his army, the previous strengths no longer existed, the fragile balance was no longer maintained, and the whereabouts of Magneto and the Brotherhood were no longer hidden and unpredictable, because they had a weakness that could not be abandoned, that is, the kingdom of Latvia, which was growing in number of mutants.

With Magneto’s wisdom, he knows exactly how the nations of mankind will choose.

At present, those political leaders are still discussing how to deal with the crisis, but soon they will come up with an unprecedented severe sanctions plan, they can fully follow the trend of mutants entering |Latvia, throw the burden of the country to Magneto, and at the same time send troops to surround the entire Latvian regiment, only allowed to enter, not allowed to come out, let alone transport materials, not even a barrel of oil, a bag of grain does not want to be safely transported in, the whole country will be trapped in the vast mountains along with themselves. At that time, unless you choose to break through by force and risk the extinction of the entire race to fight a full-scale war, there is no hope of a solution.

But the consequences of doing so are something he can’t bear, the power of the Brotherhood can easily defeat the local warlords, but in the face of the powerful army armed to the teeth, most of the superpowers cannot be effective, only he personally strikes, but that brings more risks.

The previous Magneto could sneak up on Liberty Island for the mutant registration bill, trying to turn the whole of New York into a mutant paradise, how invincible he was at that time, if it were not for the X-Men’s obstruction, he would have almost completed the idea, and now the resistance is gone, or the same group of politicians appeared in the New York Convention Center, but he lost the courage to challenge the world again, because that would mean completely tearing up the last peace.

The elites of the human nations also knew this, so they openly convened this meeting not only to convey confidence to the world, but also to demonstrate to Magneto and the Brotherhood.

Is it necessary to wait for a noose to be put on the throat, or be forced to bow to the enemy?

Every time I think of this, even the mighty Magneto will feel stuffy for a while.

“You have not seen through the essence of the problem, my Majesty.” Ross’s voice sounded behind him.

“Throughout world history, absolute authoritarianism has never existed. The cornerstone of a country may be inseparable from economy and culture, but the core key is always the force that directly determines survival. Order in any country depends on force, and if those who hold power do not seek to possess power, then those who have power will spontaneously exclude those who pose a threat to themselves. ”

“The ancient Greeks Thucydides concluded in the history of the Peloponnesian War that the dominant regional power Sparta felt threatened by the rise of the competitive power Athens, and the threat felt by Sparta was so great that they made every effort to try to bring the rising Athens under control, and eventually this containment led to a full-scale war. Modern people call this the Thucydides Trap, which means that when a dominant force tries to stifle its competitors out of panic, these actions eventually lead to war between the two. Now we are Athens, and the politicians below represent Sparta, and if we do not take the right measures, war will inevitably be inevitable. ”

“Could the introduction of the Asgardians have avoided war?” Magneto slowly turned around and stared closely at the young man behind him.

“At least it can help us wake up those who are pretending to be asleep and show them how vast the real world is.” Ross smiled slightly and pointed to the people in the hall to show Magneto.

Magneto followed his hand and looked over, and one by one, familiar or strange people appeared in his field of vision.

Phoenix Lady, Storm Girl Ororo, Red Tank Marco, Deadpool Wade, and Imitation Master, Iceman, Steel Lux… Nearly a hundred strong people of different ages and different skin colors gathered together, and everyone was paying attention to the results of his conversation with Ross.

“Today, the strongest group of people in the entire earth have gathered here, and there are still our allies in the palace of Asgard, and we can fully concentrate our maximum strength and rush into the legendary God Domain in one fell swoop. Odin’s treasury had many treasures that we could share together, and there was good for everyone at that time. On top of that, you’ll become a hero in humanity’s fight against alien invaders, and your country will benefit from it. ”

Ross’s |seduction made Magneto start to feel a little moved, but he thought about it again and again and slowly shook his head.

“The risk is too great, we are facing an alien country that does not know how long it has been, I understand what you said, but they are not enough.”

“Then you can leave now.” Ross had no fear, and he stopped persuading the other party. “Let’s be honest, the military has considered using Hercules potion to form a super force of up to two thousand people, and now we are negotiating on some technical issues, I can tell Your Majesty that the final offer of the order will be an astronomical amount, do you think they have invested so much, in the future, they will honestly stay in the military camp on the mainland of the United States and not relax outside?” If you really don’t want to, don’t blame me for staying out of it in the future. ”

He was naked |and intimidated.

Listening to Ross’s threat, Magneto’s face immediately became very exciting.

“Damn, what good is it for you to help humans increase their strength?” He clenched his fists and cried out angrily. “If you want money, the entire Latvian treasury is yours.”

“What use do I want from your empty treasury.” Ross smiled mysteriously. “It’s naturally good for me.”

Ross’s success was a true miracle in the eyes of many, but he knew in his heart that it was the result of the intellectual convergence of the two worlds, and with a little foresight, this allowed him to obtain initial capital, and then advanced to a higher level through the study of mutants.

But not all inputs are rewarded, all research can be quickly transformed into results, when the previous dividends are cashed one by one, the aura of genius will gradually fade, the crazy high-speed development stage will gradually stagnate, and at that time the problems that were previously ignored will follow.

The major plutocracy, competitors, the White House, S.H.I.E.L.D., the World Security Council, and the Hydra that seems to have been hit… When these overt and covert forces focus on the laboratory and Ross, then Ross is bound to fall into a quagmire of exhaustion. Although he had no doubt that he would win, there was no need to waste time on trivial matters.

His strength progress has reached a bottleneck, and there is no possibility of a breakthrough in the short term, and the risks around the laboratory are increasing day by day like Magneto’s Kingdom of Latvia, so now is the time to break the sinister pattern and take the initiative to move towards a broader space.

Or to put it more bluntly, Ross has occupied so many favorable conditions, if even Asgard, which is so close to Earth, does not dare to test it, then how to face Thanos, who owns most of the galaxy, in the future?

“If the operation fails, have you ever thought about the consequences?” Magneto reminded cautiously.

“If that happens, since we represent all of humanity, let the whole world share the pressure for us.” What is there to worry about when you have all humanity standing behind you, and we are not facing all of Asgard, just Odin—- or I should show you one more thing, it will definitely increase my persuasiveness. ”

Ross beckoned, and Todd carefully brought a suitcase.

Opening the box, the warm glow was released outward, and the light in the entire hall was overshadowed by the light in the box.

A hundred miniature artificial suns are arranged in several layers in the box, which is the proud work of Dr. Otto the octopus, which can provide infinite electricity, and can also form miniature black holes to devour matter, Magneto has heard of the power of these things, and now they are honestly rotating in the smooth and shiny glass shell.

Seeing these dangerous little things, Magneto suddenly gasped.

“This is a last resort, less than in case it won’t be used, but if the situation really gets out of control, we will blow up most of the Immortal Palace.” Now are you confident? Ross asked, staring into his eyes.

He said lightly, and Magneto on the opposite side suddenly felt great pressure.

“…… Well, I’ll listen to you this time. With no way out, Magneto finally made up his mind.

“Wise choice.” Ross smiled and praised, closing the suitcase and handing it back to Todd.

At this time, the sun was shining outside the window, the other side was overcast, and a huge storm was brewing above the Javits Convention and Exhibition Center|
