The talkative raven in the world of American comics

Chapter 212 Army Preparation Plan

Magneto stood with his hands behind his back in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, looking back on the past.

At this moment, he was recalling the face of his former best friend, Charles.

Long ago, he and Charles both vowed to change the world's perception of mutants.

However, they later parted ways due to a clash of ideologies.

When they met again, they were already standing on opposite sides of each other.

Charles has always believed that mutants should show the world their friendly side.

They are just ordinary people born with superpowers, not a symbol of threat or panic.

But Magneto didn't think so. He believed that they had been blessed by the heavens since their birth and were a new race.

We should never pay the price for baseless accusations.

Their conflicting ideologies led to frequent clashes between them.

Regardless, Magneto believed he had always stood on the side of mutants, seeking a way out for the future of this race.

He will suppress anyone who dares to threaten the existence of mutants!

However, many things happened later that made him somewhat weary.

Magneto believed that Charles should join him to build a kingdom for mutants, regardless of what others thought.

Unfortunately, Charles died.

He died at the hands of the Phoenix Force.

Meanwhile, his X-Men suffered a major blow.

These people, deeply influenced by the ideals of their close friend Charles, are still willing to use their abilities to help others.

But what's the use of that?

It's a completely meaningless act. The so-called military is becoming increasingly wary of their existence, and their discriminatory attitudes are growing stronger.

After working hard for most of the year, what's the point of getting this result?

If he wanted, he could even manipulate all the nuclear weapons on the entire planet and show them who the master of the world is.

But he didn't do that.

Because it's not his time to make a move yet.

In Magneto's view, he would only make his decision when his people became disillusioned with Charles's ideas.

They were determined to make a move.

Later, he couldn't wait any longer.

He didn't know when this pretend game played by these superheroes would end.

Just focus on mutants, why bother caring about other people?

So, at an invitation meeting ten years ago, he joined the Red Skull team.

They decided to eliminate all the world's superheroes.

Magneto decided that he would take control of the future status of mutants.

At the moment he killed his daughter, he was overwhelmed with grief and shed tears.

Wanda, I hope you understand.

I did this for the future of mutants.

It's time for your childish game to end.

Things initially went as he expected.

Mutants no longer need to endure the cold stares of the world, because without the protection of superheroes, even survival has become a major challenge for these people.

He then began to build a kingdom for mutants, which he named the Garden of Eden for mutants.

He hopes that his compatriots who have suffered can come here, start a new life, and no longer have to worry about other survival issues.

However, as time went by, very few mutants came to him seeking help.

With his reputation, mutants would only have a higher social status, and no one would dare to harm them.

Magneto couldn't understand why this was.

What puzzled him even more was why the number of mutants born in recent years had been so pitifully small!

Having already established a mutant kingdom, the number of mutants should be increasing year by year!

The vibrant scene of life and flourishing of all things ten years ago is still vivid in my mind.

In just ten short years, Eden is about to become nothing more than a trace of the mutants' past existence!?

How can this be allowed to end!

Magneto clenched his fist as he thought of this, but then suddenly relaxed it the next second.

Because outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a spider-like figure appeared, staring back at him from afar.

Magneto frowned, his gaze falling on Thor's hammer in the other's hand.

"I have to warn you, kid, I'll let this slide since you're Logan's friend."

Magneto said, "Besides, you probably don't know that the previous owner of the hammer in your hand owed his death to me to a large extent."

Upon hearing this, Spider-Man outside the window blinked, then looked down at Thor's hammer in his hand, as if asking the hammer to confirm whether the statement was true.

"Okay...that sounds scary, but it tells me not to be afraid..."

'

'

Magneto frowned even more deeply at the words of this unfamiliar Spider-Man.

I really have to teach this arrogant brat a lesson!

"But I didn't come here to fight you."

Spider-Man gave up the idea of ​​flying in mid-air. He used to really want to be able to fly, but after gaining the power of Thor and the ability to fly, he no longer liked it.

Because you have to keep swinging the straps of Thor's hammer to fly!

Spider-Man hung Thor's hammer on his waist, leaned against the wall, and pointed to Magneto's back, just across the window.

"We're here to have a talk with you."

'

Magneto turned his head to look.

They are Logan, who has changed into a brand new uniform; the newly active Ghost Rider; and a figure covered in green fur.

of course.

And then there was that gray raven, which plopped down on Logan's head and even waved to him when it saw his gaze.

These people seemed to have appeared out of thin air, yet he, as the owner of this place, didn't sense them at all?!

Magneto narrowed his eyes, becoming increasingly curious about the raven's existence.

Thanks to this guy, he recently saw a group of deceased friends.

That performance, which can only be described as a miracle, is something he can never forget.

This is why he didn't crush the Logan tank back then, but instead secretly unscrewed a few screws.

He was somewhat wary of the other party's presence.

"What? Are you all going to make an example of me?"

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere around them instantly turned cold, as if war was about to break out at any moment.

He is Magneto.

He wasn't afraid of those people at all.

Except for that crow.

Upon hearing this, Logan kicked the jackal's butt and gestured with his chin: "Tell him everything you just said."

The jackal was kicked and fell to the ground, trembling and stammering, "No, I'll die..."

3. Then Jason glanced at him.

Jackal immediately told Magneto about the orders that Red Skull, the worst president in history, had given him and Nathaniel.

He revealed his entire plan to eliminate mutants.

While enduring the increasingly terrifying pressure from Magneto, the jackal gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on.

"I swear, I've told you everything I know!"

"I would never have done this if it weren't for Red Skull's request. I've never been interested in mutants!"

'

'

After saying all that in one breath, the jackal instinctively closed his eyes, preparing to face his death.

But after waiting for a while, I didn't feel any pain at all.

He raised one eyelid and saw Magneto, who remained silent.

Adhering to the principle that the more you say, the more mistakes you make, Jackal decisively chose to shut up at this moment.

After a few seconds of silence, before Magneto could speak, Spider-Man outside the window spoke first.

"Um, could you let me in first? I couldn't find your ventilation ducts, and I feel like climbing up into them would be disrespectful..."

'

The jackal was overjoyed; Spider-Man must have come to save him at this moment!

Knew it!

Spider-Man is the kindest one!

He must not want to die at Magneto's hands!

Having survived this ordeal, he will definitely turn over a new leaf and repay Spider-Man for saving his life!

Peter, of course, had no idea that the jackal was suddenly having so many thoughts.

He just felt a little uncomfortable standing outside the window.

He had just finished speaking when he heard a noise from the window.

Boo!

Peter noticed that the window sill he was leaning against had suddenly loosened a bit, as if a screw had been removed.

Then the window flipped upside down, allowing him to enter the room inside.

Thank you.

'

Watching Magneto's retreating figure, Peter finally thanked him, and at the same time felt that this guy didn't seem as bad as Jason had said.

"So you brought him here so I could join your team to save the world?"

Magneto crossed his arms and said, his gaze fixed on Logan.

He sensed that Logan was acting differently.

The last time I saw Logan, he wasn't as energetic as he is now.

At that time, Logan was like a beast of burden forced to get up and go to work. He looked unwilling, but he did not slack off at all.

"Eric, we need you." Logan made no attempt to hide his thoughts.

He wanted Magneto to join the team, especially after what had happened.

...What about those compatriots who underwent the experiments?

Magneto loosened his arms from his chest because he saw the raven on Logan's head mimicking his gesture.

As soon as I loosened my grip, the other person loosened their grip as well.

From then on, whatever action he took, the other person would imitate it.

It's really...

Magneto decides to vent his anger on Logan.

So I applied a little pressure with my palm.

Logan shrank considerably, and the unyielding spirit within him was protesting against its master.

Logan then expressed his annoyance and confusion.

"What are you doing?!"

"Ask the crow on your head."

Logan couldn't help but look up.

Oz stopped imitating, looking annoyed, and poked his wings.

"Don't look at me, I don't know anything."

46

'

Seeing this, Magneto also relinquished control of Logan's body.

At the same time, the new Ghost Rider on the other side spoke.

"Those people have been taken to the hospital in your area and are receiving treatment. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

"Then lead the way."

Magneto spoke in a commanding tone towards Jason.

Jason stared at him for a moment, then kicked the jackal in the butt.

"Did you hear me? I'm telling you to lead the way."

「!?」

The jackal almost thought he was about to become invisible!

Why bring him up again!

He doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of Magneto, but only knows how to be arrogant in front of himself?!

You bunch of superheroes...

"Your Majesty, this way please."

Jackal stood up, a forced smile on his face.

Magneto is clearly the master of this territory, so why does it seem like they are the ones who are?

The final formation was led by Jackal, who took Magneto to the location Jason had mentioned.

He was present when the arrangements were made, so he naturally knew where the hospital was.

At the same time, he was a little puzzled. Magneto was so arrogant, why didn't these people react at all?

"I think he's so arrogant, I need to find a way to teach him a lesson!"

"Who?"

"It's that white-haired guy."

Upon hearing this, the jackal's ears perked up immediately, listening intently to the conversation coming from behind.

Then, in the next second, he was slapped on the back of the head.

66

'

Jackal has figured out the hierarchy within this system.

There's no need to elaborate on the fact that he's at the bottom.

That raven is clearly at the top of the pyramid!

When we discussed Magneto face to face, he didn't even react!

Not long ago, Magneto was clearly in control of Logan and the others!

Magneto also has something to say.

Who is he?

Lord of the Territory!

The King of Mutants!

If you can't handle that magical crow, can't you handle the rest of you?

The Oz trio were also speechless.

Magneto's show of force was actually of no concern to them; they didn't really care.

Only Oz would think that others are arrogant, yet he still likes to ignite their anger, only to end up suffering the consequences?!

"Save your breath! He's not as bad as you make him out to be!" Peter grabbed Oz and started kneading him.

"But he bullied you!"

"Where did you bully me?"

"They did bully you! As your leader, I feel I need to say something!"

"Alright, just shut up."

Logan pinched Oz's mouth shut; every time that guy opened his mouth, he was the one who suffered!

Magneto was very satisfied with Logan and the others' attitude.

It can only be said that they have their reasons for being superheroes; they were just unlucky enough to be saddled with this damned crow.

Snapped!

Oz slapped Magneto's special helmet. "I've been putting up with you for too long!"

"!!!"

Magneto got angry and lashed out!

It wasn't that he was afraid of the crow, but that the slap had inexplicably brought to mind the plan they had just mentioned to eliminate mutants.

He witnessed firsthand the appalling conditions his suffering compatriots lived in.

I witnessed how Logan killed Mr. Sinister.

These images greatly increased his anger towards the Red Skull.

This scene further confirmed the jackal's suspicions.

As expected, Lord Crow is the one with the highest status.

He's a wolf too!

Why not sign a contract with him?!

The jackal thought angrily as he arrived at the hospital in Magneto's territory.

"This is it, Magneto."

"Come with me," Magneto said, glancing at him.

"Oh, oh." The jackal didn't think too much about it and followed.

Halfway there, Magneto glanced at Spider-Man and Ghost Rider behind him.

"You two stay here."

Oz roared, "You think you can bully my kids?!"

Magneto ignored the crow and said, "This is the respect I'm giving you, so you'd better not come."

Spider-Man asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Jason understood what the other party meant, stopped Peter, and whispered, "Let's listen to him."

"what?"

Peter was completely bewildered. Could Jason, with his personality, tolerate such words from the other party?

However, they ultimately did not choose to follow.

However, Magneto specifically requested that Logan accompany him inside.

After they left.

Peter said, half-jokingly, "I think he's really arrogant now!"

Oz flew to his side, chattering incessantly: "Right!? What do you mean? Should we mess with him?!"

Jason grabbed Oz with both hands and pulled him into his arms.

"Why are you always trying to cause trouble?!"

"Lord Crow is doing this for your own good!"

"hehe."

Inside the hospital.

Medical staff are explaining the physical condition of these fellow citizens to Magneto.

"Their genes are very weak. Some of them have become ordinary people but have retained their mutant abilities. Once they release their abilities, they are the ones who get hurt. Others have completely lost their abilities and are barely alive."

39

Magneto listened to the medical staff's explanation without expression.

He sensed the fear of those around him in these tormented compatriots.

"You could have let them in; they're not unreasonable people," Logan said.

They were referring to Peter and Jason, of course.

"Superheroes should act like superheroes. Besides, this is my territory. I can do whatever I want, and it's none of your business."

Magneto replied simply that he believed he only wanted to show some respect to the Spider-Man and Ghost Rider.

It was definitely not out of consideration for that crow.

Logan sighed, meeting the grateful looks directed at him, and said, "So, what's your decision?"

'

Magneto didn't speak, but stepped forward and comforted each of his fellow countrymen.

The jackal, who was standing still, realized why Magneto had asked him to come along.

He clearly wanted to kill himself in front of these test subjects!

Little spider!

help me!

I can't move!

The jackal realized that he was not only unable to move, but also unable to speak!

All I could do was stand there dumbfounded!

After a while.

Magneto stood among his fellow citizens and shouted, "Gentlemen, I am deeply sorry for what has happened to you."

"I failed to fulfill my responsibilities, and in a sense, I am your sinner."

"But please rest assured, there will be no more suffering like this in the future."

"I will atone for my sins."

The voice just fell.

He suddenly opened his palm.

The jackal seemed to be pulled into the air and flew up.

His face contorted in pain, his eyes practically bulging out, and veins bulging.

"Don't do this... I was wrong... I can heal them!" *bang*

Before the jackal could finish speaking, he turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Blood rained down on the treatment room.

As Magneto was drenched in the rain of blood, he declared, "I will avenge you."

"Okay, I think I understand why Magneto had the jackals follow us instead of us," Peter suddenly said.

Jason shrugged. "I thought you'd pretend you didn't know."

'

'

Peter sighed. "I have no reason to dissuade him, but if I were there, I would definitely stop him."

Jason changed the subject: "Do you think he'll join our team like Logan said?"

Peter shook his head: "It's hard to say."

Just as the two were chatting, Logan came out.

Upon seeing Logan, Oz broke free from Jason's embrace.

"How is it? Is it a boy or a girl?"

"?"

Logan rolled his eyes at Oz's words and didn't answer the nonsensical question.

Peter and Jason both looked at him and asked simultaneously, "What's the situation now? Will he help or not?"

"help."

Peter clenched his fist and shouted "Yes!"

Jason asked, "But?"

"His condition for helping is that we must at least have a decent army."

"army?"
