Chapter 599: Conflict of Concepts
Under Charles's mind reading, Eric slowly recalled a long-lost memory, as if he had returned to the time when he was young but happy. Tears flowed from his eyes unconsciously. Before this, Magneto was undoubtedly strong and tough in people's eyes, but even the strongest man can cry.
Since being imprisoned in a concentration camp and witnessing his mother being killed, Eric Lansherr has been in deep anger and pain. It is these pain and anger that remind him to take revenge all the time, and he constantly draws strength from them to make himself grow. However, these dark emotions and memories have been entangled for too long, and Eric subconsciously forgot that he once had happiness. Even if that happiness was so short, it was also a bright spot in his childhood and life.
"Your emotions are richer than you think. Not only pain and anger, but also bright and kind. I can feel that when you regain these memories, you will have unrivaled power, even I can't match it." Charles Xavier took the opportunity to encourage.
Eric fell into deep thought for a while, obviously moved by Charles Xavier's remarks.
However, in the eternal space outside the light curtain, Eric Lansheer raised his eyebrows and shook his head, saying: "Charles is very good at teaching others, but I can't agree with some of his ideas. No one wants to endure pain, they are all forced, but it is undeniable that pain can stimulate our potential and make us stronger. Logan, you should know this very well."
Logan Howlett also frowned. Although he didn't respond, he did agree with Eric's remarks in his heart. He and Eric Lansheer both had a past that they couldn't bear to look back on, and they both drew strength from pain, but Eric Lansheer seemed to have gotten used to it, while Logan Howlett wanted to make a change.
Wolverine is in the dark, but he yearns for light. In his opinion, light means protection. This is what Charles Xavier said to Eric in the video: protect the good memories, protect the loved ones around you, and protect the bright future. As long as the belief is firm, you can burst out unmatched energy.
In the video, Eric Lansheer recognized Charles' teachings. After calming down, he activated his ability again to control the huge radar. This time, the radar changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. He really succeeded!
Professor X is worthy of being Professor X. Magneto's ability was also enlightened and improved by him. Now it seems that the training effect is very good, but the situation outside is getting more and more tense and worse. Under the instigation of Sebastian Shaw, the gunpowder smell between the two nuclear superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, is getting stronger and stronger, and a terrible storm is brewing in the calm!
Charles, Eric and others also knew that it was their turn to take action. Everyone was determined to stop Sebastian Shaw. During this period, Hank used the blood sample given by Raven to test and experiment, and found that Raven's cells were very magical and active, giving Raven the ability to stay young forever, and also helping him to create a potion to cover up the appearance of mutants.
This has always been Hank's dream. He is very concerned about his appearance, sensitive and inferior. If his big beast-like feet are exposed, they will attract ridicule and ridicule. Even fellow mutants, like Shockwave, have made fun of his big feet. After all, people like Shockwave, Siren, Magneto and Professor X can integrate into normal society intact as long as they don't show their abilities, without being suspected or doubted.
Hank and Mystique are different. They both look very strange, so they feel close to each other. This time, Hank successfully made a potion to cover up his appearance with the help of Raven's serum. He naturally wanted to share this good news with Raven as soon as possible. He thought that she was as excited and happy as himself, and couldn't wait to use the potion to keep herself in the appearance of a "normal person". However, it was beyond his expectation that Raven's attitude changed.
Raven used to be sensitive and inferior to her blue skin like Hank, but with Eric's several reminders and encouragement, she gradually changed her mentality. As Eric once said: "You want society to accept you, but you don't want to accept yourself."
Eric made Raven feel the recognition of her mutant identity, and gradually made her realize that the identity of a mutant should not be inferior or shameful, but a kind of honor. You can't use the aesthetics of ordinary society as a standard to measure yourself, because mutants are the next stage of human evolution!
So, Raven also tried to persuade Hank not to be obsessed with his appearance, but the two of them parted unhappily. On the other hand, Eric and Charles, the good friends, also had a conflict, or in other words, they had a conflict of ideas from the beginning.
Different growth environments have given the two people completely different attitudes and personalities. Just like this time when dealing with Sebastian Shaw, although the two reached a consensus, Charles Xavier only wanted to organize the other party's conspiracy, while Eric Lansheer planned to kill the other party for revenge.
The greater conflict of their ideas lies in the conception of the future of mutants. Eric Lansheer is a realist. He knows that once they fight with Sebastian Shaw and make too much noise, the existence of mutants will definitely be known to the world. At that time, mutants will face the rejection and suppression of the entire human society. At the same time, he also inferred that if they successfully get rid of Sebastian Shaw, the human army will turn their guns on them!
Charles Shaw doesn't think so. He thinks that the future of mutants is to better integrate into human society, tolerate and accept each other. Only in this way can we see light and hope. He also hopes to show the attitude of mutants and ordinary humans to work together for development by organizing Sebastian Shaw's conspiracy.
There is no doubt that Eric Lansheer is a radical among mutants. Perhaps he was influenced by his enemy Sebastian Shaw and pursued the theory of mutant supremacy. Charles Xavier is a moderate among mutants. He advocates cooperation and tolerance to integrate into human society, rather than blindly confronting.
Both of them are strong-willed people, and neither can convince the other. However, with a war imminent, the ideological disputes can be put aside for the time being. What they have to do now is to do their best to resolve Sebastian Shaw's crazy conspiracy!
