Bab 145: The Plan
"You have to understand, we Mutants aren't like ordinary people. Carving out a home is within my capabilities. It's been planned for some time now, though I had hoped to choose the right moment. Now, I must act sooner," Alex explained softly, his words sincere.
Initially, he had considered waiting for the inception of the Avengers initiative, capitalizing on the external threat posed by the Chitauri to legitimize the creation of a Mutant nation. The internal conflict between humans and Mutants would then pale in comparison to an alien invasion, paving the way for their autonomy.
However, Nick Fury's preemptive actions had disrupted these plans, necessitating an accelerated approach to nation-building.
Alex sighed, rubbing his temples. Establishing the nation prematurely would undoubtedly attract attention and complications. He hoped the Monkey King's abilities wouldn't be overlooked amidst the complexities—his seventy-two transformations, keen perception, and the formidable golden cudgel were invaluable assets.
"My friends, do you realize what this means? Are you saying you can create an entire continent?" Eric posed the question, his tone commanding the attention of everyone present.
Even Jean, a fifth-level Mutant with mastery over elements, hesitated to claim such a feat.
"Destruction is far simpler than creation," Charles concluded, acknowledging the daunting task ahead.
"Absolutely, but recreating a landmass like the American continent is too ambitious. We only need to construct an island large enough to accommodate all Mutants," Alex explained casually.
He continued, citing Hong Kong as a feasible model. The island territory, covering 1,106.34 square kilometers, comfortably housed over seven million permanent residents, with room for millions more visitors. Skyscrapers pierced the sky, while bustling markets and serene parks coexisted in harmony. This size was well within Alex's capabilities, making it a viable option for mutant habitation.
Given Earth's current population of about six billion, the actual number of mutants remained relatively small, not exceeding tens of millions. This made the concept of a mutant island akin to Hong Kong both practical and promising. An island where mutants could thrive, build their own society, and live without fear or discrimination seemed within reach.
Jessica visibly relaxed at the prospect. The tension in her shoulders eased, and a hopeful smile spread across her face. "Even though most parts of the world are claimed, Earth is vast with plenty of unoccupied land and oceans. We can find unclaimed territories to settle peacefully, develop, and eventually establish a nation."
"Then, Teacher, if we have a country, does that mean we'll be princesses?" Anya eagerly inquired.
"Absolutely! You're already princesses," Alex affirmed with a smile.
His approach was straightforward; strength dictated everything.
Without power, one risked exploitation and annihilation, rendering discussions of a Mutant kingdom moot. Hence, Alex envisioned a monarchy akin to England's, leaving political matters to Charles and Eric, whom he trusted.
"Don't fret over life's necessities; Stark Industries will provide full support," Alex reassured them casually.
"Whether it's Tony or Howard, they'll back us fully. Our relationship runs deep despite not sharing blood. That's why I took over Stark Industries during Tony's youth," Alex added.
"Stark Industries has historically met basic needs. Short-term, we're covered. But what about the long haul?" Charles asked, his brow furrowed with worry.
"There's more oil beneath the seabed than we realize. Stark Industries will tap into those resources, set up factories, livestock farms, and agriculture. Mutants' abilities make these ventures feasible, and Stark won't suffer financially," Alex explained with a confident smile.
"These plans have been in the works for some time; there won't be any surprises. But it's still early days," he added.
"And what about our international standing? What if humans refuse to acknowledge us?" Charles pondered aloud, his concerns mounting.
"It's simple. Remember how Apocalypse handled it?" Alex grinned mischievously. "We declare ourselves a nation! With a bang—not fireworks, but nuclear bombs! Let the whole world see our explosive entrance."
"You mean..." Charles was taken aback by Alex's audacious proposal.
"Haha! Alex, you're brilliant. I love it. Let's show these humans that Mutants aren't to be trifled with. We're a force to reckon with!" Eric chimed in, clearly enthusiastic about Alex's plan.
The vision of a new beginning for mutants, free from persecution, filled the room with a sense of optimism. The idea of transforming an unclaimed piece of Earth into a vibrant, thriving community for mutants was no longer a distant dream but a tangible goal they could strive for together.

Bab 146: The Birth of The Nation
"Apocalypse could lift all the nuclear bombs of every nation into the sky. Why can't we do the same? Treating these weapons like mere fireworks would showcase Mutant power as a force to be reckoned with," Alex pondered aloud, reflecting on the potential impact and symbolic gesture of such an act.
The resulting panic would be merely temporary. This approach not only upheld Mutant strength but also mirrored their desire for a stable existence, distinct from meddling in national politics. Figures like Eric and Charles, akin to nuclear forces in their own right, underscored Mutants' standing as global players.
After lengthy discussions among Alex, Charles, and Eric, they resolved to establish a kingdom for Mutants—a methodical approach to securing their place in the world.
With Alex's ability to manipulate atomic structures, he understood the limitations: he could alter atomic sequences but not create matter from nothing. Even the Pyramids of Apocalypse had been crafted from the destruction in Cairo.
Thus, before commencing with land creation, Alex journeyed to Antarctica, redirecting vast icebergs to serve as raw material. Utilizing his atomic control, he transformed these icebergs into solid landmasses, laying the foundational groundwork for their Mutant kingdom.
When an iceberg transformed into solid land, the visual impact was nothing short of terrifying, even startling the observers monitoring from satellites.
"The sheer scale of this defies all scientific norms," remarked one of the astonished analysts.
"But then again, with Mutants like him, who needs to adhere to scientific laws?" another mused aloud.
Alex was aware of the satellites observing from above, and he intended for them to witness his capabilities firsthand.
"It's unbelievable. Even though I see it, I can't quite believe this used to be an iceberg," Charles exclaimed, marveling at the transformation.
"Is this the power of a Level 5 Mutant? It's beyond astounding," Eric added, visibly shocked by the spectacle.
"This is just the beginning. Without a continental shelf here, the initial land area won't suffice," Alex explained calmly, crouching down and placing a hand on the ground.
With a resounding boom, the water around them churned violently, and the ground trembled as if adrift on the sea.
Eventually, rocky outcrops surged from the depths, enveloping the initial landmass and doubling its size.
Soon, an uninhabited island emerged from the sea, its expanse slightly larger than Hong Kong Island.
Alex extended his hand, and sand from the ocean floor surged upwards, coating the island's surface evenly.
Meanwhile, Alex raised his hand, showering the newly formed land with seeds to begin the process of vegetation.
Alex tapped into his enhanced Natural Affinity ability, causing grass seeds to sprout and cover the island in a lush carpet of emerald green. With a swift gesture, he pressed the grass down, enriching the soil and ensuring its fertility—a task swiftly completed.
"It's your turn," Alex directed at Eric, opening a portal.
From above, a cascade of steel materials rained down. With a wave of Eric's hand, the materials seemed to assemble themselves, constructing over a dozen towering buildings in just ten minutes.
Hovering in the sky, helicopters scattered various vegetation seeds across the island. Under Alex's influence, the entire landscape flourished into a vibrant greenery.
"Charles, it's up to you now," Alex turned to Charles.
Charles smiled, donned a brainwave amplifier, and used his telepathic abilities to broadcast his message worldwide.
"Listen, Mutants of the world. Today, we establish a nation solely for Mutants. All with super-abilities are welcome here. You'll find sanctuary from oppression and persecution. To our friends, all Mutant citizens will have our protection. Our home lies hundreds of kilometers off the Pacific Ocean, away from the United States. You're welcome to join us anytime."
As Charles spoke, his words were transmitted through global TV signals, broadcasting their actions to the world.
"Now, it's time for the salute," Alex grinned, his psychic power sweeping across.
He teleported nuclear bombs from every nation to his location. With precise control, Alex directed them into space where, synchronized and detonated, they created a dazzling display visible across the globe.
Soundless in the vacuum, the cosmic fireworks illuminated the skies, leaving the world's nations in awed silence.
Could human technology ever match such power?
