Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 737 Jerry's Brainwashing (Second Update)

"No, Mr. Fastos, I just feel that if you hadn't helped humanity create the atomic bomb, the war back then wouldn't have ended, and who knows how many more people would have died in that war."

If the countries that launched the invasion were to win, the consequences would likely be far more severe than the deaths of tens or hundreds of thousands of people.

I've always believed that bad people should be punished, and good people shouldn't have to sacrifice their lives to save bad people.

Moreover, it was precisely because of the existence of atomic bombs and nuclear weapons that those ambitious individuals no longer dared to easily launch large-scale wars.

Twenty-one years separated World War I and World War II, but more than seventy years have passed since the end of World War II, and the world has been at peace ever since, and this peace will continue for even longer.

Because everyone understands that if a third world war breaks out, the entire Earth will be destroyed by nuclear weapons, and everyone will die.

It is because you helped humanity invent nuclear weapons that we are able to live in peace until now. Otherwise, we would probably be at the end of World War III, IV, or V by now.

The death toll in World War I was around 1600 million, with approximately 1000 million wounded. The death toll in World War II was around 7000 million, with approximately 1.3 million wounded.

Mr. Fastos, can you imagine how many more people would have died on Earth by now without your help in inventing nuclear weapons?

Faced with Fastos's questioning, Jerry remained calm and slowly laid out his reasoning and solid data before him.

"Moreover, and most importantly, you just want to help humanity grow faster. You can't have a blacksmith forge a kitchen knife, and someone uses that knife to kill a bad guy in self-defense, but then blame the blacksmith for it. Besides, it's not even a crime."

After listening to Jerry's well-reasoned and logical brainwashing, Fastos was completely confused.

Although Phantos inherited the knowledge of the Celestials and possessed a highly developed brain, he was more like a scientist engrossed in experiments, and in some aspects, he wasn't particularly intelligent.

He simply believed that he had helped humanity invent nuclear weapons, which led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He never considered that it was precisely because he helped humanity invent nuclear weapons that humanity truly entered an era of peace.

"To be honest, I think Jerry makes a lot of sense."

The druid was the first to agree with Jerry's words.

He scoffed at Ajak's claim that the Eternals should not interfere in human wars, so he felt that there was nothing wrong with Fastos helping humanity invent nuclear weapons and that he shouldn't blame himself for it.

Just as Jerry said, it was the existence of nuclear weapons that kept the world at peace, something he had been trying to do but couldn't.

Following the Druid, Cersei, the Water Sprite, Jinker, Gilgamesh, and Saintina also expressed their agreement.

They didn't entirely agree with Jerry's words, but at this moment, it was clearly more important to cheer up Fastos. Only when Fastos felt he hadn't done anything wrong would he be willing to use his abilities to help them again.

"Furthermore, Mr. Phantos, you should think this through. If the divine manifestation is completed, and the Earth and humanity are completely destroyed, your loved ones and children will not be spared either!"

Jerry looked outside the house at Fastos's wife, or rather, husband, and their adopted child, and said calmly.

During the years that Fastos lived in Australia, he fell in love with an Australian human man, married him, and adopted a child with him. He loved them very much.

"Okay, I promise to help you!"

Jerry's words cleared up Fastos's mind, which was still in a state of confusion.

Regardless of whether his actions in helping humanity create nuclear weapons were right or wrong, if God were to actually appear, his lover and children would die, and he would be recycled and have all his memories of Earth erased.

Having secured the help of the great inventor Faustos, who could create and connect all the Eternals' cosmic energy devices, everyone arrived at the location of the last member—the Tama, the spaceship that the ten Eternals used to bring Earth.

The last Eternal is named Macari, a deaf-mute who possesses the same speed abilities as Scarlet Witch's brother, Quicksilver.

Compared to Quicksilver, she is a much stronger and faster Eternal, and ordinary bullets cannot harm her.

Makari is lively and optimistic, and values ​​the friendship among the ten Eternals most. After the team disbanded, she lived alone on the spaceship, hoping that everyone could come back one day.

So when Cersei invited her to join, she accepted without hesitation.

Of the ten Eternals, eight are present, with the remaining two being their leader, Ajak, and her most loyal warrior, Icarus.

Icarus possesses super speed, strength, and defensive capabilities. He can fly and shoot lasers from his eyes, making him the strongest of the ten Eternals in terms of overall strength.

In Jerry's opinion, Icarus's abilities are similar to Superman's, except that all of his abilities are much weaker.

Icarus is Cecilia's ex-boyfriend who suddenly disappeared a hundred years ago. They don't know where he is now, so the eight of them decide to ignore Icarus and go with Jerry to find Ajax first.

They wanted to work together to persuade Ajak to see if they could get the supreme god Aristom to spare Earth.

If all else fails, we should see if we can put the Earth's celestial embryos into a dormant state or kill them directly. In any case, we must not allow the gods to appear and destroy the Earth and humanity.

"Does anyone know where Ajax lives now?"

As they were getting ready to leave, Jerry asked everyone a question.

The crowd exchanged glances, clearly having lost contact with Ajax for centuries. Finally, Faustos spoke up:

"She lived in South Dakota, and when the bombing happened that year, I went to see her and she came with me to Hiroshima."

South Dakota?

Gilgamesh looked somewhat surprised. He and Sainta had lived in South Dakota for hundreds of years and had never known that Ajak also lived there.

Fastos nodded:

"Yes, she was worried about Sainta's condition, so she chose to live not too far from you, so that she could rush over to help in case of any unexpected events."

"Okay, then let's go to South Dakota again."

Jerry interrupted the two who were about to enter a flashback and directly opened a portal to South Dakota.

The experiences of several Yongren tribes over seven thousand years could easily take several hours to recount, and he had no time to listen to those useless stories.

If possible, he can settle things with the Celestials today, and once the cooldown ends tomorrow, he can return to the Harry Potter world.
