"Is the entity you made a deal with a little too good?"
Carter asked suspiciously, "Not only did he help you solve the disaster caused by Shredder, but he also helped me regain my youth, and he only takes your soul after Death? He could have just taken your soul directly."
"The contractor is an old friend of mine; he helped open a back door."
Steve said, "Also, that entity was introduced by an angel, so he can't be too bad."
"Although he's Some Demon Lord," Steve secretly added in his heart.
"Old friend?"
Carter was a bit astonished. She thought for a moment, then asked, "That sorcerer from before, was he one of that entity's people?"
Steve said, "Probably outsourced."
"Outsourced?"
Carter was a bit confused. Such a powerful entity actually outsourced? Isn't that a bit too bizarre?
"Never mind that, that old friend told me two things."
Steve said, "First, Bucky is still alive, but he's being controlled and is now a emotionless killer."
"What, Bucky is still alive?"
Carter was quite surprised, as she and Bucky were also friends. She said, "We must find Bucky and rescue him."
"Of course."
Steve nodded. He continued, "Second, he said S.H.I.E.L.D. is not to be trusted."
Carter was silent at that. After a moment, she sighed, "Actually, after Howard died, I sensed there was something wrong with S.H.I.E.L.D., but no matter how I investigated, I couldn't find the problem."
Steve said with a serious expression, "This proves that the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. is problematic."
"Exactly."
Carter nodded. She said, "Before, I didn't have the energy to investigate this matter, but now I do. Steve, from now on, you'll be in the open, and I'll be in the shadows. We'll work together to get to the bottom of this and avenge Howard."
"Alright."
Steve didn't object. He thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, Carter, the people controlling Bucky might be related to S.H.I.E.L.D."
"The people controlling Bucky are related to S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
This sentence gave Carter a very bad thought—could it be HYDRA?
Immediately, Carter shook her head repeatedly: "Impossible, HYDRA has already been eliminated."
"Carter, focus your investigation on Nick Fury. That guy doesn't look like a good person no matter how you look at him."
Steve continued, "And he's the director, and he's naturally suspicious. If S.H.I.E.L.D. has problems, it definitely wouldn't escape him, unless he's the one with the problem."
"Nick Fury is indeed very suspicious. Actually, I've never really liked him; he's too extreme in his methods, but Pierce greatly admires him and single-handedly pushed him to the director's seat."
Carter thought for a moment, then extended her hand and said, "Give me that business card."
Steve was stunned: "What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, I won't use it now. I'll save it for when there's a major crisis in the future."
Carter looked at Steve and said very seriously, "Steve, I won't be separated from you again. From now on, wherever you go, I go."
Steve was deeply moved. He hesitated for a moment, then handed the business card to her. With Howard there, the transaction wouldn't be a problem.
Carter put away the card. Then, she turned on the nearby speaker, raised her hand, and said to Steve, "Steve, you still owe me a dance."
Steve's heart swelled. He took Carter's hand and asked, "May I, madam?"
"Of course."
Carter nodded, and then the two embraced to the music.
A dance delayed for seventy years finally came to an end at this moment.
...
Time flew by, and it was the last night of 2009, New Year's Eve.
Times Square, as in previous years, held celebration activities, but this year, the popularity was far less than last year. The reason was simple: too many disasters occurred in 2009, and people were not interested in celebrating.
Additionally, everyone had realized that in this broken place, New York, disasters would never stop, so saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new was meaningless.
"Spider-Woman!" "Jessica!" "Colleen!"
At this moment, the Spider-Woman team flew over Times Square on their hoverboards. The citizens cheered, clearly very fond of the Superheroes.
"It's the same job, but Superheroes are cheered wherever they go, while we not only get no gratitude but are often given dirty looks."
Heavy Cannon, inside his power armor, grumbled unhappily. To improve the military's image, power armor frequently patrolled the streets, and tonight was no exception.
"No choice, New York people especially like Superheroes."
Redhead Scarlett said, while searching for a target nearby—she was looking for a certain scoundrel sorcerer.
Don't misunderstand, Scarlett was just curious about magic.
"These days, if you don't wear something strange, you're too embarrassed to come out and help people."
Heavy Cannon complained. Scarlett said, "Don't complain. Watch the show, even if it's very ordinary."
Although the Times Square New Year's Eve program was quite ordinary, some people watched it with great interest, such as Leech, the Mutant cure.
"I really want to leave this room and go to Times Square to celebrate with them."
Leech, who had been confined for several years, sighed inwardly. Just then, a gentle voice echoed in his mind and the minds of other Mutant simultaneously: "Hello, fellow Mutant, I am Professor Charles."
It is worth mentioning that Leech can nullify all Mutant abilities. The reason Professor Charles's voice could reach his mind was Andrew's help.
"Professor?"
The Mutant were astonished. The Professor actually broadcasted to the entire race? What did he want to do?
Professor Charles wasted no time. He transmitted images of Utopia into the minds of all Mutant, then he said:
"This is a City built on the Moon, named Utopia. I sincerely invite you to join this City.
In this City, there will be no discrimination, because this is a City that belongs to us Mutant."
"A City that belongs to us Mutant?"
All Mutant' breathing quickened—most Mutant had experienced discrimination and unfair treatment, and what was worse, this situation showed no signs of abating and was even intensifying.
"Exactly, a City that belongs to us Mutant."
Professor Charles nodded. He said, "Utopia is governed by a five-person council. The five council members are me, Magneto's grandson, White Queen Emma…"
In Utopia, Magneto's veins pulsed as he shouted at Mystique, who was blocking him, "Raven, don't stop me, I'm going to kill that old guy."
Now, everyone would think he was Magneto's grandson. Charles, that scoundrel, why didn't he realize how black his heart was before?
"If you really want to kill him, please use magnetism. Fists can't kill people."
White Queen scoffed, "Magneto's grandson."
Everyone laughed loudly. Magneto gritted his teeth in anger, regretting immensely that he had chosen an eighteen-year-old body; it was just too embarrassing.
Professor Charles chuckled inwardly as he continued, "Fellow Mutant, rest assured, Utopia has enough resources for you to survive. Anything found on Earth, Utopia definitely has, and anything not found on Earth, Utopia also has.
As long as you are willing to sign your soul to a Hell Lord after Death, you can immediately be teleported to Utopia."
"Sign your soul to a Hell Lord after Death?"
Although the Mutant were astonished, they didn't resist much, because they trusted Professor Charles. He would never push Mutant into a pit of fire.
This was why Andrew wanted to cooperate with Professor Charles; he was the spiritual leader of the Mutant.
"The reason those Epsilon-level Mutants could return to normal people was because they signed a contract with a Hell Lord. This Lord is very trustworthy, so everyone can rest assured."
Professor Charles continued, "If anyone doesn't want to be a Mutant, they can call out to the Hell Lord in their hearts, and he will turn you into ordinary people. Of course, the price is the same as those Epsilon-level Mutants."
Finally, Professor Charles said, "Fellow Mutant, I promise you, Utopia will not disappoint you. Here, you will not only gain freedom and respect, but also receive a free house.
Additionally, Utopia has no property tax, and has universal healthcare…"
"We want to go to Utopia."
Millions of Mutant eagerly shouted. On one hand, they trusted Professor Charles. On the other hand, Earth was no different from hell for them.
Some Mutant hesitantly asked, "Can we bring our parents and relatives?"
Professor Charles replied, "If they are willing, they can immigrate to Utopia with you. The fact that they can give birth to Mutant means they have the X-gene in their bodies, making them no different from Mutant."
"That's great."
The Mutant were overjoyed and chose to sign the soul contract one after another.
"It was worth all the effort I put in."
Andrew nodded with satisfaction, telling the Black Widows to sign the contracts quickly. Because the number of people was too large, the Black Widows were extremely busy, signing contracts with thousands of people at a time.
This time, Andrew truly collected soul contracts until his hands were sore.
Several months of hard work (others worked hard, Some Demon Lord was mainly responsible for planning) finally paid off at this moment.
"I want to immigrate, I don't want to be an experiment anymore, I want to go out and watch the party, I want to go shopping, I want to eat in a restaurant."
Leech shouted in surprise. Andrew snapped his fingers, and all the Mutant who had signed the contract simultaneously lit up with light, then they all disappeared.
It is worth mentioning that for this teleportation, Andrew borrowed the power of Kamar-Taj—acting, concealing the fact that he possessed the Space Stone.
...
In a certain bar, Psylocke was drinking with Wade. Her mood was very bad because she had been subjected to inexplicable attacks during this period.
"It should be armed forces from the military or private laboratories."
Psylocke cursed, "They want to capture me for research. Now, human high-ranking officials are full of malice towards us, and those scoundrels are therefore unrestrained."
"No choice, who told us Mutant not to count as humans."
Wade spread his hands and said, "That's not what I said, our creator, in order to pay less taxes, expelled us from humanity a while ago."
Psylocke didn't pay attention to what Wade said, because Wade often talked nonsense. Just then, Professor's voice sounded in her mind. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Professor, can the money I've accumulated over the years be used in Utopia?"
The Professor chuckled, "Utopia uses credit points, but US dollars can be exchanged for credit points."
"Then it's no problem, Professor, I'm immigrating right away, save me a good house."
Psylocke immediately chose to sign the contract. A moment later, a light glowed around her. Wade asked in astonishment, "Psylocke, what's happening to you? Upgrading or self-destructing?
If it's the latter, quickly tell me your bank card password. Don't misunderstand, I'm not greedy for your money, I just don't want to waste it, and I certainly don't want the bank to benefit."
Psylocke asked in confusion, "Didn't you hear the Professor's voice?"
"The Professor's voice?"
Wade pointed to his head and said, "The Professor doesn't dare to enter my head. If he enters my head, his own head will explode."
Psylocke blinked, suddenly realizing that the Professor didn't consider Wade a Mutant at all, even though he claimed to be a Mutant every day.
"Maybe he's afraid of being contaminated by Wade."
Psylocke didn't say much. She said, "Wade, goodbye."
After speaking, Psylocke disappeared. Wade reached out, heartbroken, and shouted, "Bank card password!"
...
In a base beneath a dam in Canada, Colonel Stryker looked at the newly captured Nightcrawler with a smile on his face. He planned to send Nightcrawler to assassinate the President, so the President would order all Mutant to be captured.
"Mutant should all die."
Colonel Stryker said with a sinister expression. At this moment, the Professor's voice simultaneously appeared in the minds of Nightcrawler, Deathstrike, and the illusionist Jason (Stryker's biological son) who was in a wheelchair.
Deathstrike had been controlled by drugs by Stryker. At this moment, she regained consciousness and shouted in her heart, "As long as I can kill Stryker, I am willing to give everything."
A majestic voice echoed in Deathstrike's mind: "As you wish."
"Get this monster out…"
Colonel Stryker was speaking when suddenly, a sharp claw, dripping with blood, pierced through his chest. He turned around in disbelief and saw Deathstrike looking at him with a sinister expression.
"Colonel."
The soldiers were shocked. They were about to attack when a large number of terrifying illusions suddenly appeared in their minds. They screamed and fired wildly in panic.
Deathstrike threw Colonel Stryker in front of Jason's wheelchair. Then, ignoring the surrounding bullets, she rapidly slaughtered the surrounding soldiers like Death incarnate.
Soon, the soldiers in the base were massacred, leaving only the Mutant who were being used as experiments.
"Satisfying."
Deathstrike had a satisfied expression. She returned to her original position and found that both Jason and Colonel Stryker were already dead. She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head; this was Jason's own choice.
Then, all the Mutant simultaneously lit up with light. They looked at each other, and with anticipation for the future, they all disappeared.
After the Mutant disappeared, a circle of sparks appeared out of thin air, taking away all the Adamantium that was in a high-temperature state. Waste is shameful, and frugality is a virtue.
"Making an Adamantium robot should be good."
...
"Large numbers of Mutant disappearing out of thin air?"
S.H.I.E.L.D. and the human high-ranking officials quickly received the news and immediately investigated what was happening. Unfortunately, they were too late; everything had already settled.
In less than half an hour, seventy percent of the Mutant chose to immigrate to the Moon and start a new life—some had not yet teleported, needing to handle some trivial matters, but the contract had already been signed.
Twenty percent of the Mutant chose to revert to ordinary people, while the last ten percent chose not to change—they continued to live on Earth as Mutant.
It is worth mentioning that those Mutant who did not leave Earth all forgot about the Hell Lord. They only remembered that Mutant had immigrated to the Moon.
Additionally, these people still have the opportunity to immigrate. The Professor will not ignore the Mutant; he will continue to monitor the Mutant on Earth.
