Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 787 The First Mutant, Apocalypse (Second Update)

Jerry believes the question of mutants versus humans is a problem that has existed for centuries.

The idea of ​​wiping out all humanity and leaving only mutants, as Eric envisioned, is too extreme and too cruel.

Because not all mutants have unhappy childhoods. Many normal parents, after discovering that their children are mutants, still love them very much and do their best to protect them.

Furthermore, even if all humans were killed, how could we guarantee that the children born to mutants wouldn't have a recessive X gene, meaning they wouldn't be unable to unlock superpowers?

However, it is unrealistic to expect mutants to fully integrate into and coexist peacefully with humans, as Professor X has done.

The X gene only determines whether a person has superpowers, but it cannot determine whether a person is good or bad.

There are good and bad people among humans, and there are also good and bad people among mutants. The idea of ​​true peaceful coexistence is like a utopia, too idealistic.

Therefore, Jerry felt that it would be more realistic if Charles and Eric's ideas could be combined.

Mutants don't need to completely oppose humanity, but they also shouldn't try to please them with illusions; aiming to gain human approval is unacceptable.

The most important point is to establish the mutants' own power, not just to recruit them into schools for a few years and then completely reintegrate them into human society, where they are captured and experimented on by various human forces.

Instead, they should bring all mutants together to establish something like a mutant nation, and be bold enough to confront and fight back.

Let all of humanity know that the mutant force has the power to destroy any country, and even drag all of humanity down with them.

They don't provoke trouble, but they're not afraid of trouble either.

Just like human nations, once a country possesses a weapon of mass destruction like a nuclear bomb, no other country would dare to easily wage war against it.

Some mutants possess abilities that are more destructive than nuclear bombs.

Moreover, human nations tend to be prone to internal strife, and mutants possess a wide variety of abilities. If managed properly, conflicts can be easily diverted into their own internal conflicts.

Jerry shared these views with Charles and Eric in conversation after they returned to the castle.

As for whether the two are willing to accept his point of view, he doesn't care. As long as the two don't part ways because of their differing opinions and can work together to help him find the zither, that's fine.

However, Jerry later discovered that Charles and Eric actually did follow his advice.

Perhaps they all knew that if they went their own way and acted according to their own ideas, the result would be parting ways and forming an adversarial relationship, which would only make the situation of mutants more difficult.

Jerry's suggestion was something that both of them could barely accept, so they decided to proceed according to Jerry's advice.

Six months later, in the EEG room of Victoria Castle, Canada.

Charles removed the fourth-generation EEG amplifier helmet from his head:

"With the fourth-generation helmet, I can now project brainwaves across the entire Earth, but perhaps my abilities are insufficient to accurately identify the appearance of each mutant and their surrounding environment, as you described."

"Is it a matter of ability?"

Hearing Charles's reply, Jerry touched his chin.

He is not yet sure if Qin has been born, but he hopes that as soon as she is born, Charles will be able to find her accurately.

For the past six months, he has been helping Hank upgrade his brainwave amplifier so that it is now comparable to those of decades later.

However, simply upgrading the brainwave amplifier seems to be insufficient. Charles is too young now, and his control over his abilities is not as precise and skillful as it was in his old age.

"I've got it! I almost forgot about him!"

Just then, Jerry suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had thought of something, and turned to Charles, Eric, and Hank, saying:

"You guys go ahead and get busy. I'll go find a mutant who can help you improve your abilities."

After saying that, Jerry disappeared instantly.

"To be honest, I'd really like to learn magic; it's so convenient."

Watching Jerry disappear in an instant, Charles casually made a joke.

Since the end of the first battle, they have learned from Jerry that he is not a mutant like them, but a magical wizard who has lived for a long time and traveled through many worlds.

She came into this world to obtain some kind of power from Jean Grey, a mutant born in 1963.

Although it sounds far-fetched, Jerry's abilities and performance forced them to believe it was true.

Cairo, Egypt.

"It should be in this city. Let me look for it."

Jerry floated above the city, his powerful mental energy rapidly covering the entire city and extending to a point a thousand meters below.

If he remembers correctly, Apocalypse should be sleeping in one of the pyramids beneath Cairo.

Apocalypse, whose real name was En Shaba Noor, was born in the First Dynasty of Egypt around 3000 BC. He was one of the longest-surviving and most powerful mutants in history.

His ability is reincarnation, which means that when he is about to die, he transfers his superpowers and soul into a new mutant body, thereby gaining immortality and acquiring more and more superpowers.

However, this was not the reason Jerry came to him. Jerry came to him because he was interested in another ability of his: mutation.

Apocalypse can use his abilities to influence the X-gene of mutants, causing it to mutate. The mutants whose genes are mutated will have their abilities greatly enhanced.

He used these two abilities to enslave the entire country of Egypt.

Jerry needs Apocalypse to help Charles develop his telepathic abilities to the maximum so that, in conjunction with the brainwave diffuser, they can accurately locate Jean Grey.

"Got it!"

With a flash, he reappeared inside the pyramid, 500 meters below a courtyard in a Cairo slum.

In front of him was Apocalypse, the first mutant, who was pinned down by a pile of boulders.

"By the way, you look quite a bit like Ronan."

With a wave of his hand, Jerry dispelled the giant rocks on Apocalypse's body. Looking at his appearance and attire, Jerry immediately thought of Ronan the Kree.

Same blue, same baldness, same peculiar shape.

Back then, Apocalypse found a mutant with the same healing factor as Logan and wanted to transfer it into his body to maintain his youth forever.

However, while his consciousness was partially transferred, some of his mutant followers, along with the Egyptian humans he had enslaved, seized the opportunity to launch a rebellion.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were killed while protecting him during his reincarnation. Because of his reincarnation, he was unable to activate his powers and was crushed inside a pyramid by countless boulders, falling into a deep sleep.

Now, Jerry only needs to take Apocalypse outside to bask in the sun, and he will wake up and regain all his abilities.
