Chapter 8 Magneto the Cyborg
Chapter 8 Magneto the Cyborg
......
Sokovia, Hydra's secret base.
Baron Strucker watched with a tense expression as a human modification experiment took place in the laboratory below.
"Your Excellency, the experiment was a success!"
Only after hearing the report from his scientists did a smile finally appear on his face.
"Let's see how it goes."
At his command, the scientists in the laboratory immediately began inputting instructions into the computers.
The elderly man on the experimental table, after being modified, actually floated up.
Baron Strucker walked into the laboratory, drew his pistol from his waist, and fired several shots at the old man without hesitation.
However, something strange happened: the bullets simply stopped in front of the old man, unable to advance an inch.
"Hahaha, very good! From now on, this world belongs to Hydra!"
Upon seeing this, Baron Strucker immediately burst into arrogant laughter.
The elderly man below who has been modified is none other than Magneto, the once-famous Level 4 mutant and leader of the Brotherhood.
Thirty-five years ago, they helped Dr. Rice begin promoting genetically modified foods globally, and many mutants lost control of their abilities after consuming them.
Why help Dr. Rice create mutants?
Hydra's goal is to rule the world, but with the X-Men and the Brotherhood, how can they possibly rule the world?
Given the X-Men's behavior, they are definitely on the opposite side of Hydra.
The Brotherhood's ideology is to kill all ordinary people and leave only mutants, which also makes cooperation impossible.
After discussions among the Hydra leaders, they decided to help Dr. Rice kill all mutants and completely end the mutant threat.
Then, they had Dr. Rice conduct experiments to breed mutant killers who would completely obey their orders.
Anyway, by then Hydra had almost completed its infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. and had basically gained the upper hand.
Upon discovering that many mutants' abilities were out of control and weakening, Magneto led the Brotherhood of Mutants to the university and found Professor X.
The two are prepared to work together to find out where the problem lies.
This is exactly what Hydra has set in its trap.
Hydra spies used a larger dose of genetically modified food to completely out of control of Professor X's abilities.
Apart from Wolverine, who possesses powerful healing abilities, everyone else, including Magneto, was killed.
Magneto's helmet could have completely blocked Professor X's abilities.
But Hydra, having anticipated this, had its spies secretly replace the helmets.
Therefore, Magneto's consciousness was instantly destroyed by Professor X after the outburst, leaving him in a vegetative state.
Afterwards, still obsessed with superpowers, he used Hydra's spies within S.H.I.E.L.D. to steal Magneto's vegetative corpse and begin researching and modifying it.
He hoped to create a Magneto who would completely obey his commands.
Magneto's abilities are perfect counters to modern weapons. Mastering Magneto means that modern weapons, including nuclear bombs, will no longer pose a threat to Hydra.
After 35 years of research and experimentation, it has finally been successfully modified.
Besides Hydra's own bio-engineering technology, the most important factor was the spy he planted within Dr. Rice, who continuously provided him with Dr. Rice's experimental results.
"Your Excellency, this is urgent intelligence from the stick insect..."
Just as Baron Strucker was admiring his masterpiece of the past thirty-five years and was in a great mood...
A Hydra soldier ran over and handed over a piece of intelligence.
After reading the intelligence report, Baron Strucker's good mood vanished instantly.
"A new generation of mutants?"
He didn't really care that Dr. Rice wanted to kill Wolverine and Professor X.
Wolverine and Professor X's whereabouts have been monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D., with John Garrett, a Level 7 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., in charge.
He was also a Hydra agent, codenamed "Clairvoyant".
Now that Rice has developed the clone X-24, Wolverine is no longer of any use.
As for Professor X, since his abilities are psychic, they cannot be modified or controlled, so he is equally worthless.
If you kill him, so be it. John can just come up with a plausible excuse to cover it up later.
His concern was the same as Dr. Rice's: did the emergence of new mutants mean that the viruses in genetically modified foods were no longer effective against the X gene?
If a large number of new mutants were to emerge, it would be a major obstacle to Hydra's world domination.
Who knows if another terrifying Level 5 mutant like Phoenix will appear?
"Send a modified Magneto over there. If Dr. Rice is in danger, rescue him and bring back the newborn mutant boy as well."
After thinking it over, he made up his mind.
If everything goes smoothly for Dr. Rice, then Magneto and the cyborgs won't need to intervene, since all of his research findings will be stolen back to him by the spies he's placed there.
But if Dr. Rice is in danger, then we must save him.
He also hopes that Dr. Rice can further optimize the cloning technology so that in the future he can clone a large number of Magnetos completely under his control.
What's so special about Wolverine's clone army? Magneto's clone army is the real deal.
Furthermore, we also need to understand the situation of those new mutants.
So, under the control of the scientists at the base, Magneto, the cyborg, flew out of the Hydra base in Sokovia.
Meanwhile, the three of them, including Goku, arrived at an abandoned factory outside the border in Wolverine's extended limousine.
This is the place where Wolverine, the Professor, and Caliban have been hiding.
There are hardly any people around for more than ten kilometers, so even if the professor has an attack, he won't harm any innocent people.
Moreover, as long as the professor takes his medication for Alzheimer's disease on time, the onset of the disease can be prevented.
"Logan, what happened?"
Seeing Logan get out of the car with Gabriella and the other two, Caliban walked out of the house looking bewildered.
This is the first time Logan has brought outsiders here.
"Take them to rest first, we'll talk about it later."
Logan didn't explain to Caliban and headed straight for the modified, all-metal, enclosed house where the professor lived.
"I'm hungry!"
Little Wukong rubbed his rumbling stomach and raised his hand.
It was already afternoon, and he hadn't had lunch yet.
"Sir, do you have anything to eat?"
Gabriela asked Carleban.
Although Caliban didn't understand why Wolverine would bring outsiders, he still chose to trust Wolverine and led the three of them to the living room that had been converted from the factory.
"There's food, I'll get it for you."
Wolverine spends most of his time working as a driver in El Paso to earn money, but he returns every few days with supplies that last for at least a week.
He had just returned yesterday, so they have enough food reserves now.
Twenty minutes later, Caliban looked at the empty refrigerator and little Goku sitting there rubbing his round belly, and said in disbelief:
"Could he be a mutant?"
