He entered the tent where Magneto was staying.
Under the light, a World map was laid out on the table, with a red circle drawn heavily around a place.
Magneto's face was grim, his eyes filled with surging anger, as he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
Beside him stood a woman with blue skin all over, hands on her hips, a charming demeanor, and red hair, making her look like a cunning and seductive devil from hell.
"Mystique, I've mentioned this to You before."
Magneto introduced the two to each other.
"This is Infinitoid..."
Russell greeted Mystique, ignored her curious gaze, and turned to Magneto.
"You called me over so late, is there something wrong?"
Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, Mystique's eyes flickered with curiosity. Although she had just returned, someone had already mentioned the young man who had arrived at the camp when she passed through it.
Magneto valued him greatly, even treating him as an equal, showing respect to win him over.
Now that she saw him, it was indeed the case.
Magneto was enraged but still managed to restrain himself, calling this man over to discuss how to proceed.
"An island nation called Genosha. Its government has always advertised that it accepts Mutants, and our compatriots can find a place to live there.
How did it go again—'Genosha sincerely welcomes all Mutants who wish to immigrate, You are welcome.'"
Magneto slammed his hand on the table, pointing at the Pacific island nation circled in red on the map, and sneered.
"I was skeptical and couldn't believe that there would be a country in the human World willing to develop together with Mutants, so I sent Mystique to investigate."
"On that island, there is no tolerance or friendliness towards Mutants, only deceit and slavery." Mystique spread a stack of photos on the table.
"Genosha?"
Russell's eyes flickered.
The photos seemed to show a construction site for a dam, where many Mutants wore collars around their necks, looked emaciated, and toiled arduously, carrying stones and mixing concrete.
The Genoshans held guns, looking like tyrannical warlords, bossing people around and urging them to work tirelessly day and night.
"He actually tricked our own kind onto the island and enslaved them like cattle and horses to build dams and power stations for them!" Magneto was furious.
Wanda's expression was one of unbearable sadness, and she also felt angry. Among the enslaved were old people, children, and women, all looking exhausted and despairing, as if they had been enslaved for a long time.
"You mean..."
When Russell heard this name, he was not surprised by the content of the photos.
Genosha is a significant location in the X-Men World. For a long time, the Genoshans secretly enslaved Mutants.
It wasn't until the dictatorship was overthrown by the X-Men and the Mutants were rescued that the entire country fell into civil unrest, and Magneto took over the country afterward.
"Magneto will build a home for Mutants in this place that once enslaved them.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Not long after, radicals among humans brought the Sentinels army and raided Genosha island, causing the deaths of nearly all of the more than ten million Mutants who had gathered in Genosha from all over the World.
The inhumane Genosha massacre became a permanent scar in the Mutant community."
"This country must be eliminated. Only the most severe punishment can show the World that Mutants will never allow themselves to be enslaved."
The coldness in Magneto's eyes could freeze a person's soul.
"And... I want to know who invented such a vicious thing..."
He waved his hand, and a photo floated up.
It was a close-up taken secretly, showing a metal collar around a Mutant's neck, flashing red light. In Magneto's eyes, it was even more glaring than a dog chain!
"This kind of collar can suppress our abilities." Mystique introduced with lingering fear, stating the information she had gathered.
"Genosha uses this kind of technological collar to enslave Mutants."
"What?" Wanda was startled, "Can everyone's abilities be suppressed?"
"Yes."
Mystique nodded.
"I saw many powerful Mutants there, whose reputations are spread throughout the entire Mutant community, but there they were also laboring like slaves."
"Northstar, Aurora siblings, Sun Fire, Domino..."
"Enough!"
Magneto waved his hand to stop Mystique from saying more. So many of his own kind had suffered on Genosha island for so long, and he had been completely unaware.
Mutant powers all come from their unique abilities. If those abilities are completely suppressed, they are no different from ordinary people, and their numbers are extremely small, with low social status.
How then can Mutants survive under human malice?
Russell could guess what Magneto was thinking.
Without a sound, a small island nation actually developed this kind of technology. It's impossible for there not to be something fishy behind it.
"When are You planning to take action? Now?"
Russell asked Magneto.
Seeing Russell ready to attack without a second thought upon witnessing his people being oppressed and enslaved, Magneto was extremely pleased, "Immediately, I plan to do it as soon as possible."
"After the warlords of this island nation are overthrown, we can take control of this country and establish the first living place for Mutants on it."
A group of desperate and angry Mutants, enslaved for a long time, waiting to be rescued. Without thinking, Russell also knew that it would definitely be a huge conquest point.
"Building the basic infrastructure needed for a country to function from scratch takes too long. Having an existing country as the foundation for our nation building is perfect."
Magneto's eyes lit up, agreeing with the suggestion.
"And... we don't have to worry about international perception at all."
Conquering a country for no reason is completely different from conquering a country with a just cause. The former will cause more intense rejection and fear of Mutants among all humans.
This incident gave them an opportunity.
In the 20th century, there were still people who persecuted and enslaved another group of people like livestock. This would cause outrage and sympathy wherever it was heard.
Even if Russell and Magneto eliminated the dictator of this country and used this place to establish a Mutant country, those with a true sense of justice would not say too much.
"Okay, this is a rare opportunity. Let's go now."
Thinking of his people being enslaved, Magneto couldn't wait another minute or second, so he decided that only Russell, he, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Mystique, who was familiar with the island's situation, would set off first.
The others could catch up later.
Russell also didn't ask why Magneto didn't bring the others along.
The core members of the Mutant Brotherhood were only a few, but there were many members, though most were Mutants who had nowhere else to go and sought refuge, including women and children.
Magneto had always been the first to charge into battle alone, being the first to face dangerous situations, and rarely brought his subordinates.
For example, when he went to steal nuclear bombs, he didn't even bring his son and daughter.
Every member of his race was precious in his eyes, and Magneto didn't want to lose a single one.
"Putting some things aside, for Mutants, Magneto is definitely a trustworthy and reliable leader."
