Chapter 1078 Another Mutant Universe

"Letting her go is the best solution. She's not a mutant, and she's a member of a special department. If she gets too close to us, she'll only be under more pressure. It will even be difficult for her if she's interrogated. I know exactly who Mora is, but I also know how despicable humans are."

Charles is indeed an idealist, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know what reality is like. Especially during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Charles can be said to have fully witnessed the cruelty of human infighting.

"Why are you staying here with me?" Charles let go of his lingering feelings and turned to ask Raven.

"Why do you care about me? Don't you welcome me here?"

"That's not the case, it's just that the conditions here are not as good as yours, right?"

"Do you think I'm such a materialistic person?"

"Indeed, you don't look like one, but you are a big Buddha, and I can't afford to support you." Charles was not joking. Riven, who was originally a casual acquaintance, soon became the protagonist on his side, and the reason for becoming the protagonist was because of her family background.

"What has your adoptive father been busy with lately?"

"I don't know. Most of the time he sits cross-legged in his room thinking about problems, or basking in the sun in the back garden. I found that he likes basking in the sun, literally. He likes it even in the scorching sun in summer. And there is almost no problem with sweating. I asked him about it, and he said that sweating can be controlled, and normal exercise does not require sweating to dissipate heat."

Charles was speechless when he heard Raven's complaints. Is there anyone in this world who can control sweating? But now Charles is no longer surprised by many things about Su Xiuyu. After all, as long as he accepts the setting that Su Xiuyu is a mutant with multiple abilities, all problems can be solved.

The Cuban Missile Crisis was just one of the triggers that ignited the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. Of course, the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union continued. The only difference was that mutants appeared on the historical stage in the same year.

However, at this time, news about mutants was still only circulated within a small range. Basically, only people in the military and government knew some of the inside story. As for ordinary people, most of them did not know about the existence of mutants.

Of course, the number of mutants has actually experienced a blowout explosion. The reason is very simple. Invisible cosmic rays and human research on nuclear bombs have accelerated this process. However, most mutants only awaken their abilities in their youth, and humans are very good at hiding their differences.

Except for mutants who are born with obvious physical mutations, most mutants hide quietly among the human population.

In addition to the X-Men founded by Charles, Eric also gradually assembled a large team of mutants called the Brotherhood of Mutants. As the name suggests, it is a brotherly organization that unites mutants. Its purpose is to fight for the legal rights and interests of mutants. Of course, most of the time Eric will use more radical means, but he still maintains a certain degree of restraint.

At this time, the Brotherhood was still an organization similar to a hobby club. At least the governments of various countries did not regard the Brotherhood as an illegal organization for the time being. Of course, Eric was secretly on the wanted list of the United States and the Soviet Union.

However, this wanted list is almost as meaningless to Eric as toilet paper. There are really people who are desperate to catch Eric but cannot catch him, and in the end they are beaten by Eric with their limbs broken.

There are two main reasons why Eric can still maintain a considerable degree of restraint. One is that Eric does not want to confront humans too early. After all, the most important thing for Eric at this moment is to expand his team.

Another point is that Eric is in awe because he has seen super-powerful people like Sebastian and Su Xiuyu.

On the other hand, there is the Hellfire organization, which has been keeping a low profile in secret. This organization itself has been on the wanted list of various countries, but the Hellfire organization has almost disappeared since 1962, and there are no signs of activity.

Even Eric and Charles, who are also mutants, find it difficult to find any useful information, and over time it is forgotten.

Time flies, 11 years have passed. The situation in the world has not changed much, and the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union continues. 11 years is just a blink of an eye for Su Xiuyu, but for the whole world, for most people, it is still a long time.

It's like Raven has gone from a young girl who just graduated from college to a middle-aged woman in her thirties, but of course Raven's appearance has hardly aged at all.

Charles's X-School took in a lot of mutants, but as time went on, the professor's name became more and more famous.

Of course, the biggest problem is not the mundane daily life - in fact, the world has been in a state of turmoil since the Vietnam War in 1961. Although the Cuban Missile Incident was a big deal, the impact of the Vietnam War on the United States far exceeded the Cuban Missile Crisis.

At the end of 1962, after the establishment of X Academy, many students and teachers were recruited, most of whom were mutants, and only a few were ordinary humans. However, the outbreak of the Vietnam War caused a big problem for the US military's manpower.

The compulsory conscription operation began. Of course, X Academy temporarily withstood the pressure of conscription - the fundamental reason was that the Vietnam War had not yet entered a white-hot state. However, as the Vietnam War became stalemate, more and more conscription plans and compulsory enlistment began to be implemented across the country.

The military itself is the country's largest violent institution, and the small X Academy has no way to protest to the military for the time being, but fortunately, Raven finally asked Su Xiuyu for help, and Su Xiuyu secretly resolved the military's targeting.

There were many people in this country who needed to join the army. As long as one had enough power, it would be easy to arrange some replacement soldiers to go to the front line. Charles' team of students and teachers was finally retained.

Although Charles didn't know how Su Xiuyu did it, no matter what, the teachers and students of X College were able to maintain peace thanks to Su Xiuyu.

In 2023, in another mutant universe, mutants were arrested on a large scale by humans - humans invented a powerful robot, the Sentinel, which had almost the same mutant abilities as mutants, and the most important thing was that these mutants could also use a variety of mutant abilities.

Moreover, each robot sentinel has its own X-gene recognition ability, and all mutants, even those with normal appearance, can be accurately identified and arrested by the sentinels.
