Bab 82: Chapter 81: Space-Based Plan
Chapter 81: Space-Based Plan
"It's difficult; we can't fight against S.H.I.E.L.D., and we don't even know where they've taken the Loom."
Sloan sighed, saying, "Even if we manage to snatch back the Loom, we won't be able to carry out our missions like before because S.H.I.E.L.D. will be on our tail."
The group's spirits sank. Butcher couldn't accept it and asked unwillingly, "So, is the Fraternity just going to end like this? Our mission has been passed down for thousands of years."
Other assassins felt the same discontent. At this moment, Mystique spoke up, "There's a way to solve your troubles and ours."
Sloan asked warily, "What way?"
Mystique inquired, "Have you heard of space-based weapons?"
"Yes, I have. They're instruments deployed on satellites or space stations that launch physical objects or energy lasers," Sloan nodded, "but the energy laser technology isn't powerful enough, and the physical objects are too heavy, requiring several tons of tungsten rods that can't be launched up there. So, space-based weapons have remained a concept."
"For humans, it's just a concept, but not for us mutants. We have the ability to transport tungsten rods to space stations."
Mystique smiled, "Space-based weapons are immensely powerful. A single tungsten rod can destroy a city, with no pollution. Many people call it 'Rod of God.'"
Fox realized and asked in shock, "Do you want to use space-based weapons to eliminate humans?"
"Of course not. Don't think of me as so evil," Mystique said, "I just want to threaten humans, make them release all mutants, and let us establish our own nation."
She paused, looking at Sloan and others, and continued, "Also, make them return the Loom of Fate and stop interfering with you."
That said, if humans didn't accept her conditions, Mystique would undoubtedly teach them a lesson.
As for the location, do I even need to ask? Of course, it's our old friend, New York.
"Threaten humans?" Fox and the others were intrigued, but Sloan shook his head repeatedly. This was a joke; he only wanted to get rich. Threatening humans was not only nearly impossible to succeed, but even if it did, the consequences would be dire. Did they think humans were pushovers?
"Mystique, let us go. We're not interested in cooperating with you. The Fraternity exists to protect humans, not to hold guns to their heads," Sloan firmly refused.
Mystique smiled, walked to Sloan's side, and whispered, "If I tell them about your affairs, do you think they'll spare you, Sloan? Today, you either agree or become a corpse."
Sloan was taken aback. How did Mystique know everything? He pondered for a moment and asked, "Mystique, the Brotherhood of Mutants is full of talents. Why do you need the help of our Fraternity? Don't you hate humans?"
"After Magneto's arrest, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been pursuing our Brotherhood relentlessly. We've suffered heavy losses, and now we have very few available manpower. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to bring you guys in," Mystique sighed. In fact, if she hadn't disguised herself as Senator Kelly, the Brotherhood's losses would have been even greater.
Sloan fell silent for a moment and asked the others, "This may be our only chance to reclaim the Loom of Fate. What do you all think?"
"Another disgusting human."
Mystique coldly hummed inside, while Sloan seemed to be seeking the others' opinions, he had already set his stance.
"We must reclaim the Loom of Fate."
Fox answered without hesitation, and the others nodded in agreement. Sloan sighed and said, "Then let's give it a try. But Mystique, we have conditions."
Mystique replied, "Go ahead, tell me."
"First, we want to accompany you to the space station. Only then can we ensure our interests."
Sloan said, "Second, we need to know your detailed plan. We can cooperate, but we won't be cannon fodder."
"No problem. You can go to the space station with us. The space shuttle is not spacious, and we can't take too many people. Also, for the next two weeks, you'll have to undergo astronaut training."
Mystique said, "As for the specific plan, I can tell you now. Toad and Mist, help them loosen up."
Toad and the others nodded, and soon Sloan and the others regained their freedom. Then, Mystique opened a projector and pointed to the picture of a space shuttle, introducing, "Stark Industries is sending Dr. Reed and his team to the space station. I plan to hijack the space shuttle in the guise of Senator Kelly."
"Then, we will take the tungsten rods to the space station and execute the space-based plan, making humans yield under the might of the tungsten rods."
"With Senator Kelly's identity helping, hijacking the space shuttle shouldn't be a problem."
Sloan nodded and asked, "Mystique, it seems like your plan doesn't need our help?"
"I need you to intercept two individuals for me."
Mystique changed the picture and said, "Andrew William, chairman of Rebirth Group, who sold the space station to Tony Stark. Two members of the Rebirth Group will be accompanying the space experiment this time. In other words, Andrew William will be present."
"So what? He's just a pretty boy."
Repairman clenched his fist, looking displeased, and said, "I love dealing with pretty boys like him. One punch, and he'll cry so miserably, such a satisfying feeling."
Others quietly moved away from Repairman a bit, having identified that he was quite insane.
"Deal with him? He can knock you out with just one punch."
Toad sneered, and Mystique nodded, saying, "Don't underestimate him. He defeated Magneto and is a master of martial arts, & is quite skilled in combat"
"A martial arts master who defeated Magneto?"
Sloan and the others were shocked; this pretty boy could actually defeat the renowned Magneto?
Repairman became even more unhappy. He was handsome and skilled in fighting, so why did all the advantages go to him?
Mystique didn't provide more information, so as not to scare Sloan and the others away. She continued, "In any case, we can't let Andrew William enter the base. Sloan, you need to send someone to intercept him on the way."
"He's so formidable. How can we intercept him?"
"Andrew William may not be licentious, but he's certainly not an upright man."
Mystique looked at Fox and said, "You can have Fox seduce him, or create a traffic accident on his route, preventing him from advancing."
"Your task is not to defeat him; that's impossible. Your task is to hinder him and make him miss the time to reach the base."
"I have no problem."
Fox nodded without hesitation, willing to do anything to retrieve the Loom of Fate.
Sloan's gaze flickered slightly. If he guessed correctly, Mystique had concealed some information. However, after some thought, he didn't object, "If that's the case, it's not too difficult. Who is the other person we need to intercept?"
"It's Professor Charles Xavier, who's been a constant hindrance to us."
Mystique changed to a picture of Professor Xavier and said, "The Fraternity has astonishing sniping abilities, even hitting targets several kilometers away. I want you to send someone to aim at the Mutant Academy and threaten Professor Xavier, not allowing him to use the Cerebro helmet."
Mystique added, "I checked. On that day, Professor Xavier will be away from the academy, so you don't have to worry about being controlled by him."
