American comic book mutants: Magneto said I'm too extreme.

Chapter 34: A Conversation with Charles!

"I'm back."

Charlotte is sitting in a chair reading a book.

After hearing the door open.

I asked it subconsciously.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong.

Mystique has indeed returned.

But apart from Mystique.

There were a few more people.

Wolverine, Cyclops, and Phoenix from X-Men.

And Professor X, Charles.

Charlotte frowned, looking at the group of men who had come to her door: "What do you want?"

When I used to watch movies...

Charlotte quite liked this group of people.

Because superpowers and stuff are just so cool.

But now, for the X-Men...

Charlotte's assessment was that Ferra was utterly unacceptable.

He's not particularly good, but he's not thoroughly bad either.

Stuck in the middle, neither here nor there, it's simply pathetic.

Charlotte had no intention of dealing with these people in the first place.

Not to mention, I had beaten these people up before.

But this group of people actually came to our door on their own initiative.

So he was being too mild-mannered, huh?

Professor Charles clearly sensed that Charlotte didn't welcome them.

However, considering Charlotte's many contributions to mutants...

Professor Charles took the initiative and said, "Mr. Charlotte, I sincerely invite you to speak with me."

Facing Charlotte.

Professor Charles could no longer muster the parental mindset he had during their first conversation.

That was the first time Charlotte and Professor Charles communicated.

Professor Charles, using his decades of experience of failure, attempted to teach Charlotte how to walk.

But now, Charlotte has proven it with her actions.

He can do better than Charles.

Under these circumstances, Professor Charles naturally had no choice but to humble himself.

Looking at Charles, who was earnestly pleading.

Charlotte thought about it and finally decided to give him a chance.

"Let's chat then."

"I hope we can have a pleasant conversation this time."

...

On the nearby main street.

Charlotte propelled Professor X's wheelchair forward using vector manipulation.

The rest of the X-Men followed closely behind.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Charlotte was also full of complex emotions.

In fact, not only Professor X, but also Professor X's attitude towards Charlotte underwent a significant change.

This is especially true for the members of the X-Men.

After their previous encounter with Charlotte, their opinion of her was that she was a madwoman.

But now, this madman has done something that none of them could do.

This leads to...

Many members of the X-Men have begun to reflect on their actions.

Did I really take the wrong path before?

So many people, so many years of hard work.

Charlotte easily surpassed him.

It has to be said, this is quite ironic.

Ahead, after a moment of silence...

Professor X finally spoke: "Sometimes, I really feel like a failure."

"After all that effort, we still couldn't bridge the gap between humans and mutants."

"But I never expected that you could do something I couldn't do with just one threat."

Now, Professor X has basically figured it out: Charlotte's nuking of Los Angeles was essentially a tactic of intimidation.

His goal was to prove that he had the ability to destroy Los Angeles.

Instead of actually destroying Los Angeles.

That's why Professor X admires Charlotte.

He is not only capable, but also intelligent.

However, he also learned a lot from this incident.

I felt more confused about myself.

If he had known earlier that those high-ranking human leaders were so weak, perhaps he would have implemented the "Mutant Act" much earlier.

Why didn't I think of this method in the past?

In fact, given Charles's abilities...

If he wanted to, he could easily intimidate her in a way that was even more severe than Charlotte's.

If Charlotte could easily destroy a city...

So, if Professor X were to unleash his full power, he could kill all ordinary people on a psychological level.

Even if they weren't all killed.

As long as he expresses that he has the idea of ​​doing so.

Then, the higher-ups of humanity would immediately kneel down and become his dogs.

But Professor X has never done that.

This is where the problem lies.

Faced with Professor X's self-deprecating humor.

After thinking for a moment, Charlotte replied, "You're a good person, Professor."

"Because you're a good person, you can't possibly do things like me."

"Similarly, it is because you are a good person that those high-ranking human officials do not take you seriously."

Although it sounds cruel.

But that's what it is.

Good people are easily targeted and robbed.

On the contrary, it's people like Charlotte.

Having no bottom line makes people afraid to act rashly.

"Yes, I'm a good person."

"I'm so glad you see me that way."

"But it's so hard for good people to protect what they care about."

Charles was disinterested.

He was truly devastated.

This is tantamount to denying the belief he had held onto for half his life.

Looking at Charles, who had a sighing expression.

Charlotte shook her head and didn't say anything.

Frankly, Charles doesn't deserve any sympathy.

But his character is admirable.

After another period of silence.

Charles finally snapped out of his reverie.

He smiled sheepishly at Charlotte.

Then, another matter came up.

"Recently, high-ranking officials from America contacted me."

"I hope I can help them reconcile, and I hope we can maintain a good relationship from now on."

"But I feel this is abnormal!"

Professor Charles said to Charlotte.

Charlotte pondered for a moment.

They reached the same decision as Professor Charles.

Yes, this is not normal.

According to Charlotte's deduction.

The higher-ups in humanity should be in a state of fear and apprehension towards him, but not yet in complete despair.

In other words, there should be at least one more counterattack.

Unless those in high positions truly accept their fate and acknowledge that there is now a living God above them.

Otherwise, those higher-ups would definitely organize at least one final effort to annihilate Charlotte.

The fact that they made peace so quickly can only mean one thing.

something wrong.

Charles felt the same way.

He understands humanity and knows that humans never give up so easily.

Originally, he didn't want to explain these things.

However, when he actually met Charlotte...

Charles eventually changed his mind.

This reminded Charlotte.

Ultimately, it was Charlotte who truly changed the status of mutants.

Because of Charlotte, the status of mutants was elevated.

It was also because of Charlotte that the "Mutant Act" had the opportunity to be passed.

Once Charlotte died.

Leaving aside the question of whether humanity will become even more outrageous than before.

But it will revert to the way it was before.

That was no longer a situation Charles could accept.

He can admit his failures and his incompetence.

However, we cannot watch Charlotte's achievements be destroyed like this.
