Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 670: The Mutant with Cheats

Chapter 670: The Mutant with Cheats (Three in One)

Professor Charles Francis Xavier came from an ancient European family, but with the discovery of the New World, their ethnic group migrated from Europe to North America.

In addition to the ancient castle estate they are in now, the Xavier family has inherited a large amount of real estate, bonds, antiques, and gold and silver assets.

It can be said that Charles was born into the absolute upper class. Even if he spent his whole life eating, drinking and having fun, he would not be able to squander all the wealth accumulated by his ancestors.

However, for Charles, who graduated from Harvard University at the age of sixteen and pursued doctorates in biology and psychology at Oxford University and Columbia University, what he pursued naturally surpassed those worldly desires.

If he had evil intentions, then relying on his natural telepathic ability, he would be able to enter politics, rely on the fame and resources passed down by his family, and become the supreme controller of the world's beacon, relying on his own mind control ability.

Even at his worst, he could still become a top criminal master, and there were only a handful of people in the world who were capable of stopping him.

But what Luo Xi admired most about him was not his powerful telepathic talent, but the creed and bottom line he always adhered to.

This kind of self-control ability is what all psychics need most.

After face-to-face contact, Luo Xi has concluded that the telepathic ability possessed by the other party is actually a special form of psychic power.

The X gene in his chromosome can directly absorb and leverage the energy of the subspace, thus transforming it into his own innate ability.

If placed in the Warhammer universe, Charles Xavier might be classified as a mind-control psychic.

"Is this X gene really evolved autonomously by humans in this universe?"

"Suspicious, very suspicious."

"You must know that when psykers use the power of the Warp, they rely on their soul's affinity and resonance with the Warp.

The so-called psychic talent actually refers to the degree of fit between the soul and the subspace. The higher the degree of fit, the larger the projection range in the subspace and the stronger the mobilized power.

However, unlike traditional psykers, these mutants can rely on their X-genes to indirectly influence the subspace."

This also means that mutants do not use their own souls to mobilize the power of the subspace, but the X gene plays a key role in it.

Luo Xi soon realized how huge the advantages of these mutants were compared to the psychics he had in mind.

The source of mutants' abilities is the X-gene, so the projection of their souls in the warp is not as dazzling as that of regular psykers, and it is difficult for those malicious warp creatures to find and invade their souls.

If Luo Xi explains it from a scientific perspective, the so-called X gene possessed by these mutants is actually more like a highly efficient psychic energy utilization device in the form of genetic code.

This also means that their stability is much stronger than traditional psychics.

To give a simple example, regular psykers simply use their hands to pull chestnuts out of the fire, while mutants have learned to use tools to mobilize dangerous forces.

The latter wins in terms of both risk resistance and efficiency.

This almost bug-like operation opened Luo Xi's eyes.

These mutants have almost taken all the benefits of being able to make extensive use of psychic powers and enhancing resistance to the subspace.

If these mutants were not born naturally, then the people who created them must have done extensive research in the fields of subspace and biogenetic engineering.

Roxie's multi-threaded thinking allows her to easily think about more in-depth issues about mutants while talking with Charles and Raven.

The mutant's X gene is of extremely high value. This may be the method he has been looking for, a way to efficiently and safely utilize the power of the subspace.

As early as in Macragge, he proposed to extract and integrate the Rune Psionic System of the Space Wolves and the Storm Seer System of the White Scars to provide system guidance for the think tank.

From this moment on, the importance of mutants in Luo Xi's mind rose several levels. He had to win over and control this special group.

If he could crack the mutants' abilities, wouldn't that mean he could transform all Astartes into psychic users with extremely strong resistance to the Warp and strange and varied abilities?

Although the Psionic Librarians have similar effects, their numbers are too small, and the inability to quickly replenish their ranks is their biggest problem.

The reason why Roche chose to contact Professor X first was because he was a representative "dove" leader among mutants.

Charles strives for the harmonious coexistence of mutants and humans. He wants to change the public's inherent perception of this new group of mutants so that they will no longer be discriminated against, expelled, or even captured and studied by certain people.

That's why he created an organization like Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, so that those mutants who survived cautiously could have a safe haven.

However, even with Professor Charles's wealthy family background, it is a bit difficult to run a school specifically for mutant teenagers on his own.

In order to solve the congenital defects of some mutants, the funds required are a horrible expense. Charles often worries about this and often goes to seek sponsorship to subsidize the school's expenses.

It's just that his attitude towards mutants is the same as that of most people. Even those big shots who have friendships with the Xavier family will be ambiguous and make excuses when they hear about Charles' purpose.

Mutants have very low social acceptance, and this is an opportunity that Roxie can seize.

"This is my sister, Raven."

"We can ask her to accompany us to visit the construction of the school, Mr. Luo Xi."

Charles was also very decisive and directly pulled his sister out to win Luo Xi's favor in order to obtain more sponsorship funds.

Luo Xi turned his head to look at the blonde beauty next to Charles. Even in his opinion, this Mystique Raven was beautiful, with almost no faults in her figure or appearance.

However, Luo Xi was not interested in what she looked like, but was very interested in what she could become.

Mystique's DNA contains a special ability to transform, and the true effect of this ability is far more than the disguise ability she has demonstrated.

This is a genetic imitation ability, just like the Sentinel robots built using Mystique's genes, which can freely use the mutant abilities in the database.

Mystique holds the key to Iron Man's evolution.

"Hi~" Riven forced a smile and greeted him in a perfunctory manner.

"The current Mystique has some special feelings for her brother Charles..." Luo Xi could naturally see the other party's resistance and anger at Charles' decision.

"If I remember correctly, when Charles was still a child, Mystique, who was also a child, was hungry and secretly ran into the Xavier family's kitchen, and then the two ran into each other."

"Little Charles adopted little Raven without hesitation when he saw her for the first time. The two grew up together almost like childhood sweethearts, but Charles seemed to have no romantic feelings for Raven."

Charles naturally didn't know that the stranger in front of him had already known all his details.

He also didn't know that if the original timeline continued to develop, his good sister Raven would soon be abducted by the more ruthless and decisive Magneto.

Only when Raven snuggled in Eric's arms did Charles feel the pain in his heart.

Riven was sulking at her brother for not hesitating and introducing herself to a strange man as a commentator.

She was secretly annoyed that Charles was so passionate about other women, but always ignored her.

Obviously, as long as she wanted, Riven could become any woman, any man in the world, even a non-human.

Accompanied by Charles and Raven, Luo Xi strolled through the well-planned estate of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

There is also a huge lake in the manor. The blue water waves reflect the color of the sky, making it seem extremely peaceful and comfortable.

Among the three people in the group, Charles was obsessed with trying to persuade Roche to invest more sponsorship;

And Roche was thinking about how to extract more benefits from mutants and use the incredible existence of the X gene for his own benefit;
As for the accompanying Mystique Raven, all she could think about was why her good brother didn't like her.

The brother-con was determined to conquer his brother, but Charles completely ignored her and tried his best but failed to win.

Although Charles was unwilling to use his telepathic ability to directly investigate Roche's background, he still used his language skills and psychological knowledge to try to find out Roche's background and true thoughts.

Roche had a pleasant conversation with the young Professor X. No matter what topic he raised, the other party was able to answer fluently and even put forward his own unique opinions.

However, Luo Xi's performance was flawless. Apart from revealing that he was from the East and had an extraordinary background, he did not reveal any useful information.

Riven couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed, because with her knowledge and experience, she couldn't get a word in between the two of them.

And she bet, with her keen female intuition, that the handsome and mysterious oriental man in front of her seemed to be more interested in Charles than herself.

Even if he looked at her with a slightly special look, it was not a man's appreciation of a woman, but more like a kind of surprise and shock at the Creator's masterpiece.

"These days are really weird. Don't men like women anymore?" Raven complained in her heart, staring at Charles with resentment.

This made Riven doubt her own charm again and wonder why these men ignored her.

"Professor Charles, I wonder what you think about the mutant issue?" Luo Xi asked casually as he strolled by the lake, the cool breeze blowing across his face.

"I don't know what specific aspect you are referring to?" Charles did not rush to answer, but first looked at Luo Xi's true intention.

"Haha, you don't need to be nervous. I have no ill will towards mutants." Luo Xi also saw the defensiveness and caution in the other party's words. It was obvious that he had already doubted Luo Xi's purpose.

Charles, who is well versed in human psychology, is certainly not a naive person. He would not believe a stranger who suddenly appears and is very enthusiastic about the development of mutants.

Especially since this stranger has a powerful background, is also extremely mysterious and elusive.

If Roxie is unwilling to reveal the truth, Charles will still accept his sponsorship, but he will not really hand over the details of the Mutant Academy to him.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. If there is, it must be poisonous.

"I've learned about your special group, professor. The name 'mutant' itself carries connotations of discrimination and prejudice.

The only difference between you and ordinary humans is that there is an extra gene called X in your genome."

"Some people think it's a disease, while others think it's a genetic pollution. Therefore, the existence of mutants has always been opposed by the human world, but I'm different."

Luo Xi's words made the light in Charles' eyes brighter and brighter.

The fact that he could express such insights undoubtedly proved that Luo Xi did have an extremely deep understanding and research on the mutant group.

Especially the sentence "The name of mutants itself is discrimination and prejudice" touched the hearts of Charles and Raven, making them secretly happy.

Riven, who was following the two of them like a follower, looked at Luo Xi with a softer and more pleasing look, and even developed a lot of good feelings towards him in her heart.

A girl’s likes and dislikes are simple. She thinks whoever treats her well is good.

Charles was extremely lucky; at least his supernatural powers did not show any outward manifestation.

His handsome and elegant appearance is very popular among many female groups. Professor Charles can be described as a playboy who is a playboy.

But Riven is different. Although she can change into the appearance of any human, she herself knows that those are just disguises.

Her true appearance is actually a "monster" with blue scaly skin, brown-red hair, and yellow lenses.

Except for some groups with abnormal sexual fetishes, most people would be shocked and scream in amazement, and feel disgusted and terrified after seeing Riven's true appearance.

This is human instinct. We instinctively like those who are similar to ourselves, but when they are too similar but also too different, we will feel an instinctive fear.

This is called the "uncanny valley effect."

Compared to Mystique, who can disguise herself by transforming, many mutants who have undergone flesh and blood mutations are in greater pain.

They grew hair, sharp claws, and even scales, which was basically equivalent to social death.

Charles' attitude was more sincere. It would be great if more people could understand what Luo Xi said.

"I couldn't agree more with you, Mr. Roche."

"You are a rare wise person who can go beyond what others say."

"Mutants are a stigmatizing term. Perhaps we should come up with a more neutral term to describe our growing group."

"After all, according to my research, with the advent of the nuclear energy age, the emergence of mutants has shown an upward trend due to the influence of radiation."

There was less politeness in Charles' tone and more recognition from the bottom of his heart.

Luo Xi looked at the mutants in front of him and couldn't help but think of the "mutants" in the Warhammer universe.

Those mutants who live at the bottom of the hive, whose bodies are severely mutated and whose genes are contaminated, are absolutely excluded.

Even in the eyes of ordinary mortals, they are symbols of filth and hideous and abominable creatures.

The sources of mutants are very wide. The influence of different planetary environments, radiation pollution, remnants of ancient genetic modifications, subspace pollution, etc. can all create mutants.

Even in a sacred place like the Queen of Glory-class battleship, the offspring born from the union of crew members, known as the Children of the Void, are also a type of mutant with a subtle identity.

Perhaps they didn't want to do this, but the Warhammer universe has never been about fairness and justice.

They are born this way. Even if the Empire does not deliberately eliminate mutants, it will use these people as the cheapest slaves and cannon fodder.

"Compared to those mutants in the Warhammer universe who are as lowly as dust, the situation of mutants in the X-Men universe is already a paradise." Luo Xi couldn't help but sigh.

"At least they are only being discriminated against and treated unfairly. They have not been subjected to large-scale targeted massacres, nor have they been captured to be used as experimental subjects or cannon fodder in wars."

"Moreover, these mutants may awaken powerful mutant abilities. Some of them are even naturally more powerful than the psychic think tanks who have undergone countless hard training and mental tempering and were selected from hundreds of millions of humans."

Although both bear the name of mutants, their destinies are completely different. "Mr. Luo Xi, your understanding of our group is truly intricate. There are even many aspects that even I am not familiar with."

"In this area, I really lack people and partners with whom I can communicate. I feel honored to meet you today."

Charles praised sincerely. Now he felt that even if Luo Xi didn't sponsor him a penny, his friendly attitude and deep understanding of mutants alone would make him a guest of honor in the academy.

In fact, rather than financial sponsorship, Charles hopes that more conscientious and influential public figures can stand up and speak out for them.

A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth, and slander told a thousand times becomes an ironclad fact.

"According to my research and opinion, the origin of mutants comes from genetic mutation."

"It is the power of mutation, a fascinating mutation. It is mutation that allows humans to have different eyes, one blue and one green."

"It was mutations that transformed us from single-celled organisms into the dominant reproductive organisms on the planet today. Countless mutations and natural selection have brought us humans to where we are today."

"How wonderful, how great! If there had been no mutation, this blue planet might still be lifeless."

Charles carries a romantic bloodline, which can be seen not only from the fact that he gave up his affluent upper-class aristocratic life and chose to speak for the mutant community.

When he began to explain his ideas, he had the passionate emotion of reciting poetry.

"Humans are born from mutations. Every generation of humans is likely to undergo endless changes in form. I believe that the birth of mutants is one of these wonderful changes in form."

"Mutated and proud." Charles said in a loud voice.

Luo Xi couldn't help but applaud Charles's speech. If this guy was born in the empire, relying on his eloquence and psychic power, he might become a great mortal auxiliary army general.

Machado's Ministry of the Interior also needs such talents.

He could imagine how strong the combat effectiveness and cohesion would be if an entire army brainwashed by Charles Xavier burst out.

Or to put it another way, he is a walking stamp of thought.

“I don’t want to arrogantly claim that mutants are the future direction of human evolution, but since they exist, they must have a meaning.

But now human society is extremely ostracizing our group, which is actually a very short-sighted approach.”

Charles sighed with some emotion. If he had a choice, he would like to achieve mutual trust and cooperation with national officials to explore the secrets of mutant talents together.

But unfortunately, those officials are not so aware. They just regard mutants as monsters that may pose a threat to national security.

"Mr. Luo Xi represents the other side of the sea?" Charles suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked tentatively.

In his opinion, this was a very reasonable explanation. After all, in this era, Orientals were not the protagonists of the world, and there were only a few forces that could be guessed.

Luo Xi still had a mysterious smile on his face, neither admitting nor denying.

He knew that Charles in front of him thought he was from the Pacific Ocean, but he was actually from the Sea of ​​Souls.

The Sea of ​​Souls should also be considered a sea, right?
However, no answer was also an answer, and Charles immediately understood.

Although in this era, due to the conflict between camps, it is naturally impossible for the Lighthouse to have any good propaganda for the enemy camp, but Charles, as a member of the upper class, naturally knows some inside information.

He knew that the miracles created by the group of people on the other side of the sea were breathtaking.

The mutant community needs a strong enough backer.

Since Charles inherited the family business and became a member of the upper class, he has come to understand one thing: if you want to make it in life, it’s your background that counts.

Even if some mutants have extremely strong fighting power, their fate as people without brains and background is to be used as guns.

As long as mutants need to gain a foothold in human society and cannot become independent and autonomous from the overall production and social relations, they will never be able to leave ordinary people.

Can mutants produce their own food? Can they produce their own industrial products? Can they establish so many colorful entertainment industries?

Without a society composed of ordinary people, mutants will only become a group of ever-degenerating savage animals.

After seeing all this, Charles racked his brains to find a way to integrate mutants into human society. He knew that the outcome of opposing ordinary humans would be death.

Mutants do not have the ability and size to replace humans.

"I'm just a traveler, Charles. I can see the potential of mutants. Your talents should not be squandered or wasted casually, because it will be a great loss to you and mankind."

"I hope to turn your talents into tangible wealth, the common wealth of mankind."

Charles keenly sensed a strange feeling from Luo Xi's tone...

According to his understanding, when people talk about a specific issue, unless they are talking about some grand global events, they will not mention the "human" perspective.

Could it be that the Roxi in front of me is actually an alien?

Charles couldn't help but feel ridiculous for his absurd idea. Mutants were outrageous enough, so let's not even think about aliens.

Being able to come to Earth means that aliens definitely have interstellar navigation capabilities that far exceed their own technological level, and such beings would look down on Earth.

It's impossible that we would travel across countless light years just to enslave some carbon-based monkeys to farm the land, right?

And no matter who Roxi is, the fact that he has not shown any malice or hostility towards the mutant community is enough.

Charles had heard what a great man across the sea said: Make more friends and fewer enemies, and then you can win.

Luo Xi wandered around the school founded by Charles. Apart from anything else, in this era, it was indeed the best to have such an environment to study.

Charles did put in a lot of effort. He cashed in a lot of the family inheritance and invested it all in the school he founded.

There are only a dozen students in the school, which is pitifully small.

Moreover, the vast majority of these mutant students are the lowest-level Ipsilon-level mutants, and only a few are Delta-level mutants.

Not only do these unlucky guys lack powerful special powers, but they also often experience strange changes in their appearance.

Several students even grew body structures that only animals have. They were abandoned by their original families and came to Professor Charles with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

These students who were excluded by the whole society naturally could not be expected to pay tuition fees. Charles even had to pay for their food, clothing, housing and transportation out of his own pocket.

"These humans with severe flesh and blood mutations have probably been humanely executed by the Empire a long time ago. Even Horus's rebels may not accept such severely mutated but weak mutants."

"This young Professor Charles... is really a nice guy."

Luo Xi carefully observed the young professor, and it was precisely because of his bottom line and gentle personality that he became a more suitable candidate for collaborator in Luo Xi's mind.

If it wasn't necessary, Luo Xi didn't want to use supermodel force in this world full of mysteries.

After all, he only knows about the Earth in this universe, and knows nothing about other forces or races that may exist in the universe.

If there are transcendent beings like the Ancient Saints or Star Gods in this universe, that would be really bad news.

Even for an Empire that had experienced the Horus Heresy, without considering the Emperor, it would most likely suffer a lot when facing such a background enemy.

Caution is the boat.

"Charles, do you know how many people there are in your group now?" Luo Xi suddenly asked.

When Luo Xi said this, he pointed his head with his finger, implying something.

The professor was stunned for a moment, and he instantly realized that Luo Xi knew them even better than he had imagined.

The other party even knew about his telepathic abilities.

"I don't know. I only know that with the development of the times and the advancement of technology, the number of mutants seems to be on the rise. However, I am still unable to fully understand the exact number."

Luo Xi knew that Professor X could not do this kind of thing now, and even in the future, he would need the help of a special invention called the [Brain Wave Enhancer] to do it.

The reason why he brought up this matter was naturally to bring the topic to Magneto Eric Lansherr and Black King Sebastian Shaw.

In his eyes, mutants are running mountains of gold, and their genetic information and X genes have extremely high scientific research value.

In the little notebook in his heart, he had already written down the names of those representative figures, and Luo Xi was determined to obtain their abilities.

"In fact, long before this era, there were many mutants active in human history. Some of them are even so ancient that they are beyond your imagination."

"For example, there is a mutant named Apocalypse. He was born in the First Dynasty of Egypt in 3000 BC and relied on his abilities to rule Egypt for a long time."

When Luo Xi mentioned the information about Revelation, both Charles and Raven widened their eyes in horror.

"Forgive my gaffe, but what I want to ask is, is there any factual basis for the information you mentioned?

After all, things that happened in 3000 BC are really too long ago." Charles calmed down and asked with a little confusion.

"Of course I am not just talking nonsense. Apocalypse's original name was En Sabah Nur. The mutant dynasty he founded enslaved ordinary people for a long time, which eventually led to a slave uprising and buried him under the pyramid."

Seeing that Luo Xi even explained the name and origin of this ancient mutant clearly, Charles believed it halfway.

"I thought we were the first mutants. Before I met my sister Raven, I even thought I was the only special one in the world."

Luo Xi observed that when Charles said the word "sister", a hint of disappointment appeared in the eyes of Mystique beside him, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

It's obvious, there's such a strong smell of vinegar in the air.

This also made him, a man who had been immersed in the heavy and dark emotions of the Warhammer universe for too long, taste the taste of ignorance and immaturity again.

"In fact, not to mention the mutants that appeared thousands of years ago, there were already many mutants active during World War II," Luo Xi added.

“For example, there was a mutant named Sebastian Shaw who became a strategic scientist for Nazi Germany during World War II.

He searched for other mutants in the concentration camps he was in charge of and brought them under his command. "

"There is also a mutant named James Logan Howlett, who was born in 1839.

He and his half-brother Victor fought in the Civil War, World War I, World War II, and they may still be active in Vietnam.”

"You know so much. You are much more knowledgeable and eloquent than Charles, a conservative guy."

Raven, who was wearing a light green dress, suddenly spoke up and glanced at Charles provocatively.

Charles seemed to have no idea what Raven meant and really thought that she was praising Luo Xi. He was just very interested in the people Luo Xi mentioned.

"Let's take them one by one. The Apocalypse you mentioned, is he still alive?" Charles felt a strong desire to know about that ancient man who could almost be regarded as the ancestor of mutants.

The initiative and right to speak of both parties have quietly shifted from Charles to Luo Xi, and he is naturally not stingy with this information. After all, he can win Charles' favor by saying a few more words, so why not do it?
"I can tell you that Apocalypse is still alive. His mutant abilities include transferring his thoughts and consciousness to other people, thus achieving physical immortality."

"His ideas and thoughts are still stuck in that extremely primitive and barbaric era. Once he wakes up, a tragic war will inevitably be set off."

Luo Xi saw the innocent part of Charles' character, which made him instinctively feel good about other mutants, so he emphasized the dangers of these people.

"So that's how it is. I understand." Charles also followed suit and realized the meaning of Luo Xi's words.

"And what about the mutant named James Howlett and Sebastian Shaw?"

Compared to the Apocalypse thousands of years ago, Charles is obviously still interested in the two people who are closer to his timeline.

"James Howlett's mutant abilities include super healing ability, bone spurs growing from his fists, super sense of smell and beast instincts, etc. His brother Victor is similar."

"As for the person behind, he is more important."

Luo Xi kept the question a little bit in suspense, and Charles and Raven were obviously curious and waiting for his answers.

“Sebastian Xiao, nicknamed the Black King, his abilities are energy absorption, control, and release.

This guy is a powerful guy, but he is not a good person. In the concentration camp, he even killed many mutants' relatives in order to activate their mutant abilities with violent emotional fluctuations. "

"And as far as I know, the intensified friction between the two polar camps in the world is closely related to this Sebastian Shaw."

"He's going to start World War III."

"Ah...?" Charles and Raven looked at each other, finding it difficult to digest the huge amount of information given by Roche.

What do you mean the fuse of World War III was started by mutants?

ps: No one really likes the blue-skinned girl, right?
 ps1: After temporarily ending the Horus Heresy plot, the plot turns to diversity and is a bit slow. The author will try to speed up the pace as much as possible, and the subsequent development of the Warhammer universe line will be interspersed with the story.

  ps2: The X-Men plot is a part of the author's favorite content. If it is directly violently unfolded, the perspective is too high and it will be too boring. The author wants to write it in a delicate and profound way, rather than rushing through the copy.
  ps3: The plot of X-Men involves foreshadowing. The ability of mutants not only works on Star Warriors and Iron Man, but also on the technology tree.

  PS4: It is not just the humans in the Warhammer universe who are fighting against the fate of chaos. This is the common fate of humans in the multiverse, and humans in other universes must also fight against it.

  If you have any comments, please forgive me.
