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

Chapter 686 One Person Changes the World (Three in One)

This conversation was limited to Luo Xi and Sebastian Shaw.

From the outside, the Black King, who had just been showing off his might and crushing Eric and Charles, has now been beaten to his knees by Luo Xi, and his original arrogant attitude has disappeared.

Humans actually do not have a very intuitive understanding of strength. In the absence of a suitable reference, even an aircraft carrier weighing tens of thousands of tons will look no different from a fishing boat.

Only when humans see an aircraft carrier passing by with their own eyes can they understand how intimidating a giant steel ship three or four hundred meters long is. It is simply a moving island.

And now, all the mutants on the coastline, the warships and soldiers of the two superpowers at sea, and the bigwigs hiding behind the scenes and watching the situation on the scene through remote communication methods, have all fallen silent.

They all saw how terrifying the mutant was, with nuclear radiation gushing out of his body and the ability to eat up all the energy attacking him like jelly beans.

Even another mutant who could control magnetic fields and metals would be as weak as a child in front of him.

The huge cannons and missiles that they were so proud of were of little use to this guy. Instead, they would only boost his power, which made humans very uncomfortable.

This was the first time they encountered an enemy that could not be defeated by technological means.

But now, Sebastian Shaw was easily knocked to the ground in front of Luo Xi, and a very simple and direct judgment appeared in everyone's mind - Luo Xi was much stronger than Xiao, and he could defeat the opponent without much effort.

His appearance helped humans defeat Xiao, who attempted to instigate a nuclear war. This was certainly a good thing, but who should deal with this new mutant whose background is unknown?

The President of the United States has begun to lower his head and whisper to his secretary whether nuclear bombs can be used.

"Sir, according to the opinions of our strategic scientists, the newly emerged mutant is suspected to have reached the level of "Omega-level mutant" proposed by Professor Charles Xavier.

Facing such an enemy, whether nuclear weapons are effective is still something worth studying.”

Although the secretary's words were tactful, the president already knew what he meant.

Nuclear bombs are of no use to that guy.

The president held the pen in his hand, feeling a little angry for a moment. Could it be that as a superpower, he couldn't do anything about one person?
"Our opinion is to stabilize the other party first, and use his friendly relationship with Charles Xavier to win him over to our camp, sir."

"There are no eternal enemies in the world. As long as we are willing to pay the price, he will definitely move closer to us. And having such a trump card will definitely be a huge bad thing for our old rival."

The secretary obviously knows how to achieve a moral victory. Since there is no way to deal with this mutant, he might as well win him over.

Being able to use it for my own benefit is also a victory.

"What you said makes sense. Please arrange a schedule for me. I need to visit the teachers and students of X Academy to express my condolences for their contributions to world peace."

"We need to clarify the 'accidental bombing' incident just now. It was a misjudgment by the Alliance Navy."

"The responsibility lies entirely with the Alliance. They should bear full responsibility for this incident. Let's start our propaganda machine. I want to see everyone condemning those damned bears."

The president quickly calmed down and continued to watch the black-and-white video from the front line attentively.

For some reason, watching the fight between mutants from such a long distance gave the president a sense of excitement like watching a duel in the Colosseum.

"It turns out that the nobles of ancient Rome were keen on watching slaves duel with wild beasts. That's how it feels."

The president rubbed the stubble on his chin and couldn't help thinking.

At this moment, Sebastian Xiao felt a huge sense of shame, which hit his brain, making him lose his calm and composure, and instead think about the problem with instinctive rage.

He has always claimed to be a chess player hidden in the dark side of the world, constantly provoking and inciting the escalation of conflicts between the two superpowers in order to achieve his own goals and ambitions.

Although behind him there is a group of ancient nobles who rely on various interest relationships to invisibly control the development of countries around the world, in Xiao's eyes they are nothing more than dry bones in the tomb.

The fundamental source of power is strength. As long as a nuclear war breaks out, the so-called money and power will become nothingness. Xiao is also confident that he can break free from their control.

But now, Luo Xi was telling him clearly that he was just a knife that was used casually.

This knife was deliberately cut into human beings so that this race, which has always been divided, confronted and hated, could unite.

His ambitions, his aspirations, and his pursuits are not important, because Luo Xi simply does not care about his pursuits.

His greatest value is that he has a decent deterrent effect, and can serve as a perfect stepping stone for Luo Xi.

"How dare you humiliate me like this?"

"Are you really not afraid that I will perish together with you?"

Xiao's furious heart stirred the nearby subspace, causing more psychic energy to pour into him from the High Heaven.

Luo Xi was not moved at all. The gap between them could not be bridged by the other party's outburst of anger.

Even if he resisted again unwillingly, it would only mean that he would be ravaged once more in front of the whole world.

"You are a hero, but unfortunately your vision is too narrow. Do you think mutants are any better than humans?"

"Mutants have inherited all the shortcomings of humans, and as for the advantages of humans, I'm sorry, from what I can see, most of you have not inherited them."

"You have not turned your special abilities into wealth, you have not used your abilities to lead the development of the times, and you have not allowed human civilization as a whole to progress."

"Eric's magnetic field control is the key to mankind's move towards the nuclear energy age. Your energy absorption is the key to energy storage materials. Charles' telepathy is the bridge to study the deep consciousness and soul of mankind."

"You don't have any of the virtues and noble qualities that humans possess: the desire to explore the unknown, the courage to explain the world with scientific reasoning."

"All you rely on is the supernatural powers given to you by the X gene."

Luo Xi's words were like sharp arrows, piercing directly into Xiao's heart.

Compared to lies, the truth is the most hurtful. Nothing in what Luo Xi said was a lie. They were all facts that he observed.

The reason why Xiao went to such great lengths to start a nuclear war between the two superpowers was because he didn't have the confidence in his heart to compete with those humans he looked down upon, and he wanted to use this method of destruction and restart to allow the mutants to gain the upper hand.

"Gene X is a treasure bestowed upon us by God. Only a few people can possess it. Why do you despise its existence?"

"Yes, maybe I am not your opponent, but sooner or later there will be Omega-level mutants born in our tribe. These mutants with unlimited potential will complete the work that I have not completed."

Xiao has realized that there is no way he can turn things around today, so he simply throws in the towel and asks Luo Xi to give him a decent treatment.

If the rise of the mutants requires sacrifice, it starts with Sebastian Shaw.

Use his blood to warn future mutants to be careful of human hostility.

Although Xiao's attitude towards humans is extremely bad and brutal, and he despises them like trampling on ants, he is indeed very kind to mutants.

He has always identified himself as a mutant. In his heart, mutants are the most noble and perfect species in the world, the masters of the new era, and the "new Homo sapiens" who will soon replace humans, the "Neanderthals."

"Should I say you are ridiculous or naive?" Luo Xi looked into Xiao's eyes and suddenly laughed softly.

"You actually use a special gene as the anchor of all your pride. After all, what you are proud of is just the mutant X gene."

"If you were to say that mutants have the courage to forge ahead and the indomitable courage, perhaps I would still admire you a little, but your pride is such a superficial thing."

"You have never seen that some weak humans, with the blessing of faith and ideals, picked up their laser rifles and monomolecular bayonets and launched a fearless charge towards the enemy who could easily crush them."

"Even though those demons and traitors can tear human bodies apart with a wave of their hands, there are still people who continue to surrender."

"That kind of belief is humanity's greatest wealth and the most fundamental reason why humans defeat other races."

Seeing Xiao's determined face to die, Luo Xi suddenly had an idea and planned to tell this mutant supremacist who was planning to die heroically something.

He has always preferred to destroy the heart rather than kill the person. Of course, destroying the heart first and then killing the person is also a good choice.

Luo Xi slowly approached Xiao's ear and whispered softly, "In fact, the mutant's X gene is not too mysterious and noble. At least the gene sequence below the Alpha level mutant is not that difficult to crack."

"I am deciphering the secrets of genes. The White Queen, Eric, and Charles, each of them has their own corresponding project team, with hundreds of researchers and supercomputers serving this purpose."

"In my laboratory, I have also reserved a position for you: Sebastian Xiao, energy controller. Your talent has not been fully developed yet. I will analyze and utilize your talent for you."

“Perhaps before long, ordinary people will no longer find mutants strange.

Because they only need to pay a little money to choose the right X gene for themselves, as easy as going to the supermarket to buy a pack of cigarettes. "

"There will even be Iron Men who can switch between different X genes. They can communicate directly with the main control brain and choose the most appropriate mutant ability to face the enemy according to the situation."

"The things you cherish will one day become common commodities. Perhaps your dream of mutants ruling the world will soon come true, because most people will not refuse to give themselves an injection to gain cool superpowers."

Listening to Luo Xi's whispers, Sebastian Shaw, the ambitious hero, fell completely silent.

Even if Luo Xi wanted to cut him into pieces and cruelly execute him, he would not frown.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that his ideals would die completely.

But the amount of information contained in the words completely hit his soft spot and nailed the thing he cherished most.

Xiao closed his eyes and seemed to see that scene: on the bustling streets, everyone had superpowers brought by mutant genes, even the street cleaners could use their abilities to complete their work more efficiently.

They can just wave their hands to summon a hurricane to blow the garbage into the garbage truck.

This... this... is just an absurd nightmare!

Although in fact, what Xiao dreamed of did become a reality, and mutants ruled the world.

But this is not the form he wants. Mutants have almost become tools. How can this be considered world domination?

"Where on earth did you come from, you damn devil? I can be sure that our world will never produce someone as vicious, cruel and barbaric as you."

"Although you look no different from us, there are essential differences between you and me."

"At most, I will only plunge this world into the end of nuclear war, but compared to the terrible future you bring, I am as innocent and harmless as a lamb still drinking milk."

Sebastian Shaw believes that he is definitely not a good person. He committed numerous crimes in the Nazi concentration camps just to discover potential new mutants.

Eric tried his best to kill him for revenge, which was enough to show how deep the psychological trauma he left on the future Magneto.

However, his "evil" is still traceable and within the reach of ordinary people.

Compared to Luo Xi's evil called "salvation" and "hope", he is far from it.

His evil is for his own sake, and for the prosperity of the mutant race.

Roche's evil is for the greater good of humanity, and it is not even mixed with a little bit of selfish desire.

"In order to force humans and mutants to unite, do you really want to use the threat of destruction to constantly spur them to either unite and progress, or divide and perish?"

Xiao just felt it was unbelievable. How could such a thing happen in the world and how could there be such human beings?

"If you insist on saying so." Luo Xi shifted his gaze and turned to the warships floating on the sea. "Yes, humans must either progress and unite together, or perish."

"At least in my hands, it is better to die cleanly as an experimental subject than to die in the hands of those terrible enemies and suffer torture in the afterlife."

Xiao looked at the smiling Luo Xi. The words that came out of his gentle mouth were as cold as the Arctic Ocean. He couldn't imagine what kind of world, what kind of universe, could give birth to such an extremely anti-human monster.

"Xiao's purity is still too low. If he had seen those monsters and demons in the Warhammer universe, those crazy people who are willing to do anything to survive, he would realize that what I said is right. I really am doing this for the good of mankind. I am really a good person."

"For the survival of mankind as a whole, I can send hundreds of millions of soldiers into a war that is sure to end in death. As long as the price is high, I can even throw myself into it."

"Not only me, even the Emperor, the Sigillite, and the Primarchs would make the same choice if they were faced with a similar situation."

If the humans and Eldar in the Warhammer universe who are facing corruption by Chaos demons and being hunted by the Prince of Pleasure heard that there was someone who could grant them an eternal and peaceful death without having to worry about their souls being devoured and toyed with by demons after death, they would probably line up to ask to be killed.

Anger, ridicule, and disbelief flashed across Xiao's face, but he still wanted to struggle once.

Xiao understood the madman in front of him. It was completely useless to reason with him. No one in the world could change his will, not even a mutant like Charles who was capable of telepathy and mind control.

He has made it clear that either humans and mutants will unite to kill him, or he will slowly drive humans and mutants to death.

"No, I still have a trump card, you haven't won yet." Xiao roared.

Before, after he realized that his enemy was of unknown strength, Xiao made more plans.

If the two superpowers fail to successfully start a war, he will personally take action to force them to go to war.

And if this plan fails, he still has one last trump card.

"My heart has a signal transmitter connected to the nuclear weapon at the Yellowstone volcano. Once the signal stops being sent here, the nuclear weapon over there will immediately explode, breaking the dormancy of the largest active volcano on Earth."

"As long as the Yellowstone volcano erupts, the entire North America will be destroyed in an instant by the natural disasters and earthquakes caused by the volcanic eruption, and the super tsunami caused by the seismic waves will continue to cause damage to the entire earth."

Xiao's face was ferocious, veins bulged on his neck, and he laughed loudly.

"Don't you want to promote progress for humans and mutants? The prerequisite for their unity is that the Earth and humans still exist."

"If all humans die, mutants will lose the soil for their birth and will perish as well. Everything you want will become nothingness. You treat the entire earth as a laboratory, and the laboratory can also destroy itself."

Xiao really pinned all his hopes on this point. He didn't want the Yellowstone volcano to erupt unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, a super natural disaster caused by nature and a nuclear doomsday caused by humans dropping nuclear bombs on each other are two completely different concepts.

Mutants can easily survive a nuclear apocalypse, but if it is a natural disaster of this magnitude, even many mutants will die.

He tried to see even the slightest fear on Luo Xi's face, and saw any sign of him backing down.

But unfortunately, Luo Xi's expression did not change at all.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that this guy wasn't even afraid of this?
"You should know that the White Queen Emma has been captured by me, and I have naturally read the information in her mind." Luo Xi said lightly.

"Your so-called trump card has actually been revealed long ago. Since I dare to attack you, I naturally have a way to deal with it."

Xiao's face was full of reluctance, but he still didn't want to give up.

"If you are willing to give up that stupid mutant supremacy, if you are willing to serve my cause and the overall concept of humans and mutants, I can spare your life. After all, you are still a talent."

Luo Xi was really reluctant to kill Sebastian Shaw. His ruthlessness and scheming made him a more suitable weapon.

But if the weapon is really disobedient, it is better to remake it.

"First, you should solve the eruption of Yellowstone Volcano, and then we can talk about making me pledge my loyalty to you."

Xiao's face was full of ruthlessness. He stabbed his right hand directly into the left side of his chest and blasted his heart with a heat ray full of radiation power.

He was betting that Roche could not stop the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano.

As Xiao's heart exploded, the signal transmitter he had placed in his heart went out.

The nuclear bomb he placed on the Yellowstone volcano was similar to the "Cradle System" that Roche had once built. Both would explode if the signal source was lost, which undoubtedly enhanced safety.

Xiao's vitality is very strong. Even if he loses his heart, he can still hold on for a while.

His vision gradually became blurry and dark, his body could no longer support itself, and he collapsed to his knees.

But he still stared at Luo Xi with his eyes, wanting to see him break down and become angry.

The other audience members who didn't understand what was going on burst into ecstatic laughter.

"Well done Luo Xi, you killed the ambitious Xiao!"

"It's over, it's all over!"

Raven and other young mutants shouted excitedly. They just saw the enemy in front of them fall down, which naturally meant that they had won.

Only Eric's face was filled with pain and regret, as if he had lost the chance to take revenge on Xiao personally.

The soldiers and officers who were closely monitoring and watching in the naval warship were also overjoyed. The monster that had taken dozens of missiles without any harm finally fell.

The thought that they almost launched nuclear weapons to kill each other under the instigation of the other side made them feel infinite anger and hatred towards Xiao.

No one wants to actually fight a nuclear war, not even these professional soldiers who are preparing for war every day.

The commander of the Seventh Fleet, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was about to call the president personally to report the situation on the battlefield, but suddenly the warship's detection equipment began to issue a shrill alarm.

At the same time, all seismic monitoring stations in North America felt an abnormal seismic wave.

Countless technicians who were on duty and working were horrified to see that the instruments in front of them showed abnormal seismic waves and radiation values ​​in Yellowstone National Park.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"

The fleet commander felt a deep-seated fear and instinctively shifted his gaze to the northwest.

Something big seemed to be happening in that direction.

"Sir, according to our intelligence, a signal of a low-yield nuclear weapon explosion was detected in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming."

"Of course, we did not detect any traces of the Alliance's strategic cruise missiles, which means that the nuclear bomb was not detonated by those Alliance people."

After hearing the intelligence officer's report, the fleet commander even felt that he had heard it wrongly.

If they weren’t from the Alliance, could it be that they dropped the nuclear bomb on their own land?
How can this be? !
"In fact, our intelligence analysts and think tanks have already analyzed the possible source, which is the mutant Sebastian Shaw who has been creating friction."

"We all witnessed Sebastian Shaw's defeat in his battle with the mutant named Roche.

And within twenty seconds of his defeat, we detected traces of a nuclear weapon in Wyoming."

"Therefore, we judge that this is most likely Xiao's back-up plan. He wants to awaken the dormant Yellowstone supervolcano group by detonating a nuclear bomb."

When he said this, even the intelligence officer couldn't help but swallow.

Even when a nuclear war almost broke out, he did not lose his composure. As long as he was not hit directly by a nuclear bomb, he would be safe hiding in a nuclear bunker.

However, when he heard the news that the Yellowstone supervolcano had suffered a terrorist attack, he still felt dizzy and as if he had lost all his strength.

In the face of a volcano of this magnitude, all underground shelters are just living coffins.

Even hiding in a bunker is worse than dying outside, at least you can die more easily.

The fleet commander finally realized that the Yellowstone National Park, which was attacked by a nuclear bomb, was hiding one of the largest super volcanoes in the world.

A mere nuclear bomb, if detonated in a remote place, is actually not a big deal.

As long as it is designated as a military restricted area and no one is allowed to enter, and radiation defense measures are taken, the matter will come to an end for a superpower.

But that is a dormant super active volcano. This messenger of doomsday that can destroy the world erupted on a large scale 210 million years ago, 130 million years ago, and 64 years ago. In fact, based on experience, it can be judged that its next eruption will not be far away.

Even a superpower like the United States would not dare to be careless with such a living ancestor who is dormant in his own land.

They simply designated the dangerous area as Yellowstone National Park and prohibited any form of human intervention.

But now, they suddenly learned that someone had detonated a nuclear bomb on an active volcano that could wake up at any time, which immediately made everyone go crazy like a fart spirit whose toes were stepped on.

Their power and money are based on the country and society. If this super volcano group really erupts, the magma and volcanic ash will reduce everything to nothing.

The entire North America will be buried under several meters thick volcanic ash, and the high-temperature and highly toxic smoke will be able to kill most humans.

The dust rushing into the stratosphere will block the sun's radiation, plunging the entire Earth into an extremely cold doomsday without sunlight for a long time to come.

The fleet commander turned pale, but there was nothing he could do.

Is it possible to use a fleet to threaten a volcano and stop it from erupting?

They are nothing!
No one involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis expected the situation to turn out like this.

Even the worst-case scenario that had been prepared before would only result in an escalation of friction between the two sides and the dropping of nuclear bombs on each other.

The abnormal seismic waves from Wyoming naturally could not escape the monitoring of the wooly bear on the other side of the ocean.

They immediately sent a stern diplomatic question, angrily accusing Lighthouse of threatening the security of all countries on the earth with its actions in the Yellowstone supervolcano group.

In a sense, the Alliance is more afraid of an accident in the Yellowstone supervolcano group than the Lighthouse.

After all, this time bomb is right in the heart of their enemy's territory, and it would be difficult for them to do anything even if they want to interfere.

What if the president of Lighthouse feels that he has no advantage in a nuclear war, and in anger he directly detonates the volcano, killing everyone?
Now, this time bomb that neither superpower dared to touch has begun counting down under Sebastian Shaw's desperate counterattack.

The president, who was still watching the mutants fight in the White House, suddenly changed his expression. Although his White House had a safe house underground that was strong enough to withstand a nuclear bomb attack, compared to a natural disaster of the level of a volcanic eruption, it would only become a living coffin.

"At all costs, let our strategic scientists find a way to calm that volcano!"

"I said at all costs! You all know that the world is on the brink of destruction!"

The president tried hard to suppress his inner anger. He never expected the situation to suddenly turn out like this.

"Let all administrative departments immediately dispatch personnel to follow me to Hawaii for evacuation. Regardless of whether the volcano will erupt or not, we must at least stay away from danger first so that we can organize manpower to fight the disaster."

"All this is for the benefit of the United States. We must retreat first. This is called a strategic shift."

The president didn't even have time to pack his things. He just asked his security department to pick up his family and planned to leave by plane.

But before leaving, he hesitated for a few seconds and said to the secretary beside him.

"When the war in Cuba is over, invite Professor Charles and other mutants over here. I need the power of mutants."

"Humanity's power is unlikely to stop the disaster. Our greatest hope now lies in the mutants who possess incredible powers."
