Chapter 73 [Stopping Chris]
That night, Charles and others took a plane to Ottawa, the capital of Canada.
The next morning, early morning.
"Are you sure Eric and Riven settled here?"
Hank looked at Logan suspiciously.
"You have to believe me, this is what Eric and Riven told me in person."
Speaking of this, Logan smoked a cigar and said, "If Magneto was not so old that he remembered it wrongly, he should be actively recruiting mutants at this time."
"Seeking mutants? Why?" The plot of the first battle is very different from the original one, so Hank didn't know about Eric's transformation.
Logan replied: "Magneto has always believed that mutants are the masters of the world, so when Chris transformed the ecological environment that was only suitable for mutants to survive, he was ecstatic and was almost about to join Chris' camp; but the mutants that followed would become another god of heaven, which was unacceptable to Magneto."
Charles, who was listening quietly, naturally knew why Eric wanted to recruit mutants, because it was nothing more than the conflict between the two in the castle.
Several people chatted while walking, and suddenly Hank glanced at the address provided by Logan in his hand, looked at the small villa in front of him and said, "Here, the address should be here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Riven walked out of the small villa in a set of pajamas. Before Hank could walk over to say hello excitedly, he saw Eric walking out. The two of them kissed fiercely in the garden in front of the villa under the sun and flowers.
This scene made Hank and Charles feel inexplicably heartache at the same time; Hank's heartache is because the goddess was shot, and Charles' heartache is because the white and fat sister she raised was taken away.
Logan didn't care about Charles and Hank's strange expressions, and walked over quickly and shouted, "Eric, Riven."
Eric did not care about the little character who walked up to him and said hello, but looked directly at Charles and Hank behind him, frowned and said, "Charles!"
Compared to Eric's calmness, Riven seemed particularly angry. After seeing Charles, she quickly walked up to him and asked loudly: "You promised me! I promised me that I would not peek at other people's thoughts without others' permission!"
"I didn't peek at your thoughts and Eric." Charles was questioned by his sister who had been raised since childhood, and he sighed helplessly.
Ruiwen sneered, "Is that so? Then how did you find this? Don't tell me it's a coincidence."
"This is no coincidence!"
Charles looked at the angry Riven and shook his head and said, "We are here to find you and Eric."
"I know!" Riven glared at Charles viciously, with an expression of being in control of everything.
...
Inside the villa.
Eric frowned and looked at Charles who had told everything, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean is that Chris will transform the current ecological environment into an environment suitable for the survival of mutants in the future? And with the help of some mysterious weapon, all mankind will be transformed into mutants?"
"Eric, you have to understand that no creature can evolve in a very short time, even mutants!"
Charles knew what his gay friend's current mentality was. He said sadly: "You must know that evolution means elimination, and elimination means death! Billions of humans around the world have died almost 90% in just one month, and this number continues to expand in the next year. By today 50 years later, there are only less than one million humans left."
"I think the rest... are not humans, right?" Eric suddenly said with a wicked smile: "Those are our fellow countrymen, all mutants!"
"No..."
Charles shook his head and refused, "Not all of them are mutants, many of them have been transformed and evolved into members of the Heavenly Gods, and I saw some strange life forms in Logan's memory."
Logan suddenly said: "Those are some of the changes that happened when mutants evolved into the gods of the heavens. Strictly speaking, they are still mutants..."
Before Logan could finish his words, Charles glared at Logan fiercely and said angrily: "I know, you don't need to repeat it."
Hank also interrupted: "From the perspective of genetic and biological evolution, abduction is not the so-called evolution. You should know that it took us humans millions of years to evolve to what we are today. We are now the most perfect and most suitable evolutionary product for the current era."
"Hank, why don't I know you have any research on genetics?" Charles now has a deep resentment towards Hank, and he is always worried about why his beautiful and elegant long hair fell off and eventually became a bald head that blinded his eyes?
Eric glanced at the three people who seemed to be talking to the script, took a deep breath and said, "Charles, what do you want to find us? Do you help you stop Chris? I don't think we can defeat him. You know more than me who caused the mysterious explosion in the Cuban incident."
"I didn't say I wanted to defeat him!" Charles shook his head and said with a serious look: "I just want to stop Chris, or... to stop the mysterious thing that changes Chris!"
...
No matter what conflicts Eric and Riven have with Charles, they finally agreed to join in and go to New York to stop all the changes that are about to happen to Chris.
"Celestial Club." Eric looked up at the door sign on the right side of the gate in front of him, glanced at Charles and Hank beside him and said, "Do you think we just walked in directly? Let's tell Chris what he will be like in the future?"
"We must figure out why Chris suddenly chose to evolve the whole world!" Charles could clearly see from Logan's memory that Chris 50 years later and Chris he knows now will definitely not be the same person.
In addition to the possible changes in appearance due to time, the biggest difference between Chris in Logan's memory is the look of his eyes. No matter how a person changes, his eyes will always retain a trace of the charm of his youth. In contrast, Chris 50 years later is almost completely different from his expression in terms of speaking and expression.
Thinking of this, Charles's expression gradually became solemn. He looked at Eric and Hank slowly and said, "Do you remember what I told you? I have seen a trace of Chris' memory, and the picture in the memory is the picture of the birth of the earth."
"You are reminding me that we may have to face an unknown, maybe a rival to God?" How could Eric forget that since the Cuban incident, when he saw Chris' ability to destroy the world, he was already timid about Chris. It would be better to say that he was helping Charles now.
Hank, who was standing beside him pursed his lips and said, "Logan said when he was in Canada that he said that Chris changed the global ecological environment in just one month. I think it is completely impossible to rely on current technology, or mutant abilities. Unless... just like what Eric just said, Chris is a god?"
"Whether it is God or not, no matter why Chris has all the memories since the birth of the Earth..." Charles stared at the door number of the Heavenly Club and said, "We came here this time to figure this out. I think...it's time to have a good talk with Chris about this issue."
