Superman's Journey to a Thousand Worlds
Chapter 191:
The mutants from Task Force X are confused now.
Lincoln, who was still a teammate before, has now transformed into a famous entrepreneur, the president of the Vought Group and a ruthlessly exploitative capitalist. Charles and Eric, who brought them into the team before, have disappeared.
The CIA was directly manipulated by Lincoln, which directly caused them, as mutants, to lose an important channel for cooperation with humans.
Then, the world suddenly became magical.
If you buy a Liuhe compound for 100 million US dollars, you can become a superhuman. The Superhuman Registration Act, the Walt Superhero Team, cooperates with multiple cities to become a typical representative of city heroes.
Overnight, superhumans suddenly became popular.
As for mutants...their status has hardly changed from before.
The reason is simple. How can those who spend 100 million dollars to become superhumans tolerate mutants who can stand in the same position as themselves without paying anything?
The Superhuman Registration Act was introduced for this purpose.
Only registered superhumans are officially recognized superhumans, and they are also superhumans who can become superheroes.
As for mutants, unless they can spend $100 million to register their identities and abilities, they will always be pirated superhumans.
Those who are not recognized by the group and engage in anti-crime activities will only be regarded as criminals who illegally use violence to harm others.
Fighting criminals in an honest and fair manner is something that only superheroes can do.
In addition, humans have not given up in-depth research on the X-gene of mutants.
Compound No. 6 is in the hands of Lincoln. They cannot obtain the original formula. If they want to truly control the mysterious power, they can only start with mutants.
Mutants have a hard time, and ordinary people have a hard time too.
A super capsule that can bring five minutes of superpowers for US$10,000 is affordable to many people, and just like guns, it can be purchased with almost no restrictions.
Low-level criminal gangs are still using guns to carry out violent crimes, while high-end elite criminal gangs have begun to equip themselves with super capsules.
The impact of this is that in order to have the power to curb these super-powered criminals, all government organizations have also begun to purchase super powers in large quantities.
The U.S. government's procurement also confirmed the reliability of this product, so more illegal organizations continued to purchase more.
Those in the White House and Capitol Hill have tried to take action to ask Lincoln to reduce the production and sale of super capsules, or directly limit his sales to only certain authorized organizations.
But it's a pity that Lincoln didn't care about them at all. By the way, he also destroyed the Capitol Hill and made one-third of the elderly members retire, making more room for young people.
After that, no one mentioned this matter again.
They just silently increased their purchases. Their total purchase of super capsules was almost 10 billion, which is simply shocking.
The situation of mutants in the wild is not good, and the situation of humans is not good either. Is the situation of people under Tianqi or Xiao very good? Not necessarily.
Magneto is very strong, and Apocalypse is also very strong, but their opponents are no longer simple humans.
Any superhuman with an enhanced body can withstand sniper fire without being hurt. This level of physical strength is no longer something that simple mutant abilities can deal with.
The weakest superhuman is still at the level of a second-level mutant, and some of them can even vaguely reach the level of a fourth-level mutant.
Yes, that is the native of the motherland who was born under the influence of compound No. 6.
Although he is far behind Lincoln in every aspect, he is much better than the real one in the black picket team.
Of course people from the motherland are not active in Egypt, but it is not that there are no wealthy people in Cairo.
Knowing that Apocalypse might be causing trouble on their own, they prepared a large number of super capsules and compounds early on.
First use super capsules to draw prizes to see what abilities different people will have after awakening, and then use compounds to continuously fix powerful abilities.
Although this method failed to draw out a second native of the motherland, it did add a lot of superhumans at the level of third-level mutants, and the superpowers of some of them were also very unreasonable.
For example, the naked teleporting man can teleport anywhere he wants to go, and he also has good physical strength.
By teleporting directly and then throwing out a punch, even a fourth-level mutant would be caught off guard and his heart would be broken and he would die suddenly.
Apocalypse, who stands at the top of the fourth-level mutants, is certainly not afraid of these people. His abilities are so diverse that he is not afraid of them at all. But the problem is that with these guys harassing him, he will not be able to possess himself in the pyramid for the rest of his life.
After realizing that Charles was in his hands, all the countries in the world went crazy and created superhuman beings who could predict the future and stared at him.
Think about it, there are countless people who can predict the future, and there is another person who can teleport. If he dares to lie down, he will re-enact the scene thousands of years ago. This time, his death will probably be more complete.
It is no longer realistic to expect to absorb Charles' ability and then directly control all life in the world with terrifyingly huge mental power.
Now, we really can only fight head-on.
As for Xiao...he has temporarily given up on destroying mankind and letting mutants dominate.
On the contrary, he even registered a superhuman identity for himself.
From a mutant intent on destroying all mankind, he transformed into a superhuman who could become a superhero, legally possessing a higher status.
Rule humans? Rule a hammer.
Haven't you seen that a mutant king as powerful as Apocalypse who was born thousands of years ago is also distressed by the current situation?
If you look around now, you can see superheroes delivering justice in any large city.
Looking at some entertainment venues, those wealthy people who have become superhumans have status, rights, and power, and they have more fun.
Being in such a country, with the Hellfire Club in his hands, Xiao's life would not be any better than it is now, even if he rules the world.
As for his previous idea of making those fellow mutants great again... Now that he is a superhuman, why should he talk about mutants?
After facing Lincoln and Apocalypse, Xiao suddenly became very rational.
He used to think that he was invincible because he could absorb energy, but now he couldn't. After a few random searches, he found two guys who could bring him a sense of fatal crisis.
If you search more and make more waves, I'm afraid a group of people will appear and kill you.
Lincoln's coquettish operation directly kept the originally turbulent and shaky situation at a strange balance.
Many different forces such as humans, superhumans, and mutants are placed on this balance at the same time. Each party's perspective is different, but a balanced existence is maintained.
From a long-term perspective, this balance may be maintained for a long time until one of the parties makes some irrational action.
And this irrational action is even bigger, such as the establishment of Teslak Industries, the establishment of the Hoover Dam by the Essex Group, the establishment of the X Department, etc. There is no need to attract other people's attention.
Of course, Lincoln noticed the establishment of these notorious groups, and after a moment of silence, he chose to do nothing.
Although he created a superhuman thing to stabilize the development of the situation, it was not enough. As the times progress, more and more mutants will continue to be discovered.
Moreover, due to the collective pressure of human beings from all over the world, Apocalypse is now vaguely preparing to give up the plan of possession in a short period of time, and instead begins to establish a kingdom.
With Apocalypse's ability, it is very simple for him to do this. The only problem is that he needs to attract enough mutants from all over the world to make his country strong.
He can give oppressed superhumans a peaceful environment, and some of them can also make his forces stronger.
The problem now is how to absorb enough mutants without starting an all-out war with humans and superhumans.
Apocalypse began to act quietly for this reason, and so did Mystique.
...
Late at night, at the Walter Group headquarters, Lincoln appeared on his chair at some point, looking at his other self who was rummaging for something in front of him: "Stealing other people's identities to commit theft at night is really not a good idea.
What a great idea, Raven."
The voice coming from behind made 'Lincoln' freeze slightly. After a moment of silence, he turned around, blue ripples flashed across his body, and Raven stood in front of Lincoln: "What did you do to Charles?"
Where has the place gone?!”
"Charles? Me?" Lincoln frowned slightly: "It seems that you haven't been doing well recently, and you even got such important information wrong."
"It was not me who took away Charles and Eric, but the self-proclaimed savior of mutants, Apocalypse, who wanted to establish a nation of mutants. Haven't you ever invaded the U.S. intelligence service?"
Hearing this, the expression on Raven's face was so subtle that Lincoln immediately understood: "It seems that your prejudice and prejudice against me are indeed very deep."
"When something like this happens, the first thing that comes to mind is to come to my office to search for information. Charles protects you so well!"
Hearing the faint sarcasm in Lincoln's words, Raven shouted loudly: "You don't have to worry about what's going on between us!"
"Of course, I don't care about you, but I do have something for you."
"What?" Raven asked subconsciously, and then heard Lincoln spit out two words: "Vibranium."
"Hank and Darwin took away a piece of vibranium from me. Recently, I haven't been able to find them to get it. But, are you going to stop seeing him and give it back to me because of this?"
Ruiwen snorted and refused decisively: "That's their business. What do you want from me?"
"To be honest, I'm too lazy to make a special trip for this, but I think you should be able to make a special trip for this."
As Lincoln spoke, he looked at Raven with a half-smile: "You said, if I spread the news to the outside world that the former Task Force X has a priceless piece of meteorite metal, what do you think those people will do
What's going on?"
"Perhaps they will choose to be gentlemen who love money and get it wisely and turn a blind eye to you; or they will turn into barbaric bandits and hunt you down."
"With assassinations, poisoning, and all kinds of methods, how long can you sustain it?"
"Ruiwen, you don't want to see your companions die one after another under the pursuit of those people, right?"
Lincoln's voice was relaxed and indifferent, but it hit Raven's heart like a heavy hammer again and again, making her pupils tremble.
In the past, she might not have been too worried about Lincoln's threats, but not now.
Super power capsules are everywhere, and maybe a gangster suddenly appears on the roadside and can transform into a super human.
If the existence of vibranium is revealed, they will face countless superhuman beings who will kill them. They will die, they will definitely die!
Seeing Raven's silence, Lincoln continued: "Have you never been to Teslac Industries and Essex Group?"
Looking at Lincoln who suddenly changed the subject, Raven was a little confused, and then she heard Lincoln say: "It seems that you don't know at all, so let me, who is very compassionate, explain it to you."
"Teslak Industry, main research project, mechanical and life sciences. Research content, mutant genes and sentinel robots that specifically hunt mutants."
"The Essex Group has a life science research laboratory, which researches gene suppression of mutants, mutant cloning control, etc."
"If you are caught, rather than being simply dead, you may be sold to Teslak or Essex to become experimental subjects. This may be your destination."
"If you think about it carefully, the abilities of each of those people in Task Force
Raven had already begun to tremble, and Lincoln, with a gentle smile on his face, looked to her like a devil walking out of hell, with a terrifying face.
Looking at Lincoln who had already reached for the phone on the table, Raven said anxiously: "Stop!"
"What's wrong?" Lincoln held the phone with one hand and looked up at Raven: "Do you have any ideas? Or are you going to try and see if you can stop me?"
"You can't do this!"
"No, of course I can do that." Lincoln said without mercy: "You took my things, so naturally you should pay a small price."
"I will return the things to you, it just takes a moment..."
"Time is a priceless treasure, why should I waste it?"
Lincoln still looked at Raven with a smile. Silently, Raven seemed to understand Lincoln's eyes: "No, no! This will never work!"
Hearing this, Lincoln raised his eyebrows slightly: "I haven't said anything yet."
