Chapter 232: Mars

Bolivar Trask, being a clever person, might have felt fear after being killed by Mystique.

After all, mutants have all kinds of abilities, and there might be someone who can kill them. So, his base was not on Earth at all.

Jack's consciousness extended even to the solar system, and he finally found Bolivar on Mars.

Bolivar had built a transit station on the moon and a huge base on Mars that was as big as four or five National Stadiums. Aside from him, there were only guard Sentinels there.

"I found him,"

Jack said, looking at Professor X and Magneto.

"I've taken care of all the Sentinels. I will let you deal with what is left on Earth. I will go find him and let you know."

With that, he disappeared in a flash.

Professor X and Magneto exchanged glances without saying a word. Just then, Storm ran into the room excitedly.

"Professor, you need to come out and see!" she shouted.

The people in the room were startled and thought that the Sentinels had broken into the room. But after seeing Storm's expression, it was clear that something else was going on. They left the stone chamber.

When they saw the long-lost sunlight brightening the entire world, even Professor X was stunned for a moment, and his face looked like he could not believe what he was seeing.

It took him a while to calm him down.

"Although I hate to say it, Charles,"

Magneto was the first to recover, patting his old friend's shoulder and sighing.

"He is our savior."

"Not just ours, Erik."

Professor X shook his head, speaking seriously.

"He is the savior of everyone on this planet."

"Speaking of which, Professor"

Logan approached and pulled out a cigar, placing it in his mouth out of habit.

"If what he said is true, maybe you should quickly contact those survivors. They must be in desperate need of help right now."

"Yes, we still have more work to do."

When Professor X heard this, he felt guilty and rolled toward the X-Wing Blackbird. He planned to use the plane's computer to find all the survivors and help them.

Otherwise, in situations like these, things could quickly go wrong.

While the rescue and reconstruction steps on Earth were going on, on the other side, at the Mars base,

In the control room, Jack and Bolivar faced each other, eye to eye.

The current Bolivar looked no different from when he was killed by Raven; he showed no signs of being a hundred-year-old man. Instead, he was full of energy.

"So, you're not running away?" J

Jack couldn't help but be curious as he watched Bolivar, who remained calm as he sat on a leather couch drinking tea.

Bolivar, who was carefully brewing the tea, laughed when he heard the question.

He seemed somewhat helpless.

"Run? Where can I run? The solar system is infinite. If there are really mutants who can come to Mars and kill me, then running anywhere would be useless."

He handed a cup of brewed tea to Jack and raised his hand in a sad gesture.

Jack held the mug with two fingers, brought it close to his nose, and slightly sniffed it.

The refreshing aroma of the tea made his eyebrows relax.

He took a sip, and as soon as he did, his taste buds picked up on a slight bitterness, and then his nose was filled with the smell of orchids.

"Mmm, not bad."

Jack nodded and couldn't help but praise Although he knew nothing about tea ceremonies, it didn't stop him from appreciating this cup of tea.

"Not bad at all,"

Bolivar smiled happily when hearing Jack's praise. He kicked his little legs up into the air to show how happy he was.

"This is the top-grade tea tree I managed to bring from Earth with great effort. I heard there are only three trees left in all of Earth, and I went to a lot of trouble to get them to Mars smoothly."

Jack almost spurted out his tea when hearing this.

This little guy is quite ruthless. People are careful when they pick tea leaves because they do not want to hurt the mother tree.

But He, on the other hand, pulled it right out of the tree and took it away.

This tea is precious.

"Alright, let's get to the point."

Jack put down his teacup and wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth.

"You should understand why I'm here. As a gesture of goodwill, I'll give you the opportunity to leave a final message."

"Sigh~"

Bolivar held an empty teacup in his hand, his face filled with sadness. It seemed like Jack could sense a sense of relief in his expression.

"Do you know? I was actually obsessed with mutants."

Bolivar placed the teacup down and let out a deep sigh.

"I once thought that mutants would be the opportunity for Earth's civilization to enter a higher interstellar civilization. For this reason, I wanted to find the key to their extraordinary abilities. But I failed. I had hoped that they would fulfill my wishes, but... they disappointed me."

"They could have used their abilities to create a better future, but instead, they fought among themselves, even killing each other!"

"That's not for them to decide."

Jack shook his head. This matter was not so simple.

"Charles has always been dedicated to peaceful coexistence with humans, but you should know that human discrimination and jealousy are deadlier weapons than bullets."

"Professor X, with the most powerful telepath in the world, could instantly change people's thoughts. He could be the bridge that connects the hearts of people worldwide. Arrogance, prejudice, discrimination, jealousy... all would crush in an instant."

Bolivar got up and paced back and forth excitedly, his veins popping on his forehead.

"But he only uses that power to invade people's privacy. Do you know how disgraceful that is? If he didn't have those so-called boundaries, the world would have become a paradise a long time ago, and it wouldn't be like this now. He is to blame."

Jack didn't refute; he even agreed with Bolivar's words. Think about the Sentinel problem. If Charles had been more careful, he would have seen the warning signs long before it was too late.

Everything happened too late.

Charles should get some credit for the coming end of the world.

Bolivar took deep breaths, mostly out of anger but sometimes because he was tired.

But it wasn't over yet. After regaining his breath, he continued,

"And then there's Magneto. I've studied his abilities, and I discovered that he can control not only metal but also magnetic fields. Magnetism is one of the four fundamental forces of the universe."

"If he put a little more effort into developing his abilities, once he masters control over magnetic fields, no amount of Sentinel would be a match for him."

"But the whole time, he has never learned any other way to fight than to use pieces of iron. Ha, that is just stupid."

"The two of them could have easily created a whole new world, but they didn't! Two stubborn old men stuck in their ways They wasted their abilities."

Bolivar's face went red as he got more angry.

"Alright, that's enough."

Jack forcefully interrupted him, looking at him with astonishment.

"So, because of this, you want to kill all mutants? And even involve the entire world?"
