Tony gritted his teeth in anger, knowing what Mystique meant. He said, "Bring the Mark Armor over; I'll help you unlock it."
"Smart."
Mystique nodded with satisfaction, pushing Tony to Toad, telling him to unlock the Mark Armor.
Taking advantage of Mystique's push, Tony's finger lightly touched a certain spot on his waist, sending out a distress signal.
This was a distress method Tony had developed after being captured last time. He hadn't expected to use it so soon, and it was still because of the same group of people.
Tony looked heartbroken and indignant: "What kind of unlucky person installs a distress signal in their body, and what kind of unlucky person actually needs to use a distress signal? And within a year, no less."
In fact, Mystique had jammed the signals here, but Tony's distress method was more advanced, and ordinary jammers couldn't block it.
Tony's signal quickly reached Pepper, who was shocked. She immediately informed S.H.I.E.L.D. and re-hired Psylocke to help.
Psylocke complained, "Pepper, are you sure you don't want to find another man? How many times has this been?"
"No, I'm sticking with this man for the rest of my life."
Pepper was also cursing inwardly. She had just said he was fine last month, but this month he was already in danger. She said, "Anyway, you have to bring him back for me. Money is not an issue."
"Alright, you have the money, so you call the shots. However, that base is a bit far from me, so I might not make it in time." Psylocke nodded and set off once again.
At the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D. also quickly departed. Black Widow complained, "Are you serious? This frequency is too high!"
"When is Coulson returning to New York to take charge? I really miss him now."
John Garrett sighed. He was specifically here to fill in for Coulson, or rather, to suffer.
Natasha said, "Let's go quickly. If something happens at the Rocket Base, it would be disastrous."
Garrett nodded, and soon, the group boarded a Quinjet and headed towards the Rocket Base outside New York.
At the Rocket Base, a truck drove in. Inside, besides ten tungsten rods, there were also some devices needed for the Earth-based weapon.
The Earth-based weapon project wasn't actually Mystique's own idea; it was Magneto's idea from a long time ago, but it hadn't been implemented due to various factors.
Dr. Reed couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want to do? A Space shuttle can't carry such heavy tungsten rods."
"You can't, but that doesn't mean we can't. Zero-G!"
Mystique shouted at a small Mutant. The small Mutant nodded and walked to the tungsten rod. Then, he held the tungsten rod with his hand, and a layer of black light gradually spread from his palm to the entire tungsten rod.
A moment later, the small Mutant, pale and exhausted, released the tungsten rod, which, now glowing with black light, floated in mid-air as if weightless.
"Is this controlling gravity or reducing weight?"
Tony was a bit surprised. Mutant' abilities were truly diverse, but humans weren't bad either. For example, Rebirth Group had an artificial gravity system, and there was also a doctor researching gravitonium.
Dr. Reed looked at the floating tungsten rod and exclaimed, "Wow, your ability is very useful for Space research. Are you interested in being my assistant?"
Zero-G scoffed when he heard this, "Someone once made a similar request to me, and then he almost drained my blood. To you humans, we Mutant are just test subjects."
"After today, everything will be different."
Mystique encouraged Zero-G, then turned to Sabretooth and said, "Bring the people out."
Sabretooth nodded silently and brought out a group of bound captives from the truck—they were all staunch supporters of Senator Kelly, captured in one sweep by Mystique using poison gas.
Mystique said coldly, "Give their lives to Zero-G. Zero-G, make the tungsten rods and all of us weightless. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work, it's for the Mutant."
Zero-G said with a determined look, as did the other Mutant. Then, the life-linking Mutant walked over, his hands glowing purple, and transferred a captive's life to Zero-G. Zero-G, who had been listless before, instantly became full of vigor.
The remaining captives were terrified, whimpering and clearly begging for mercy. Unfortunately, the Mutant had no intention of letting them go. After months of living together, they knew exactly what kind of people these were.
If not for the plan, these staunch anti-Mutant individuals would have been killed long ago, and in a very cruel way.
Tony couldn't stand it anymore and angrily asked in a weak voice, "How can you indiscriminately kill innocent people like this?"
"First, they are not innocent; every one of them wants to exterminate us Mutant. Second, we are much more merciful than you humans. At the very least, we only kill people, we don't torture them, and we certainly don't experiment on them."
Mystique said through gritted teeth—after she killed Trask, she was captured by humans and served as a test subject for several years. Even now, thinking about those days, which were worse than death, still sends shivers down her spine.
This was why Mystique hated humans so much. If there was a way, she truly wouldn't mind wiping out all of humanity.
Tony was speechless. The conflict between Mutant and humans was something even he was powerless to resolve.
Mystique ignored Tony and said, "Sabretooth, tie the Zero-G materials to the Space shuttle. Toad, modify the Space shuttle and make us some simple seats."
"Okay."
The Mutant all nodded and set everything up as quickly as possible. Their hearts were filled with anticipation. If they succeeded this time, they would have their own country. Then, they would no longer suffer any discrimination, and everyone could live happily and contentedly.
"I hope it doesn't affect my experiment."
Dr. Reed sighed, feeling a bit speechless. He pointed at Susan and whispered, "Reed, now is a good opportunity to make a good impression."
Dr. Reed's eyes lit up, and he was about to go comfort Susan. At this moment, Frank stood between him and Susan, giving him a warning look. Dr. Reed gave an awkward smile and turned to continue talking to Ben.
Frank snorted and turned to Susan, saying, "Miss Stone, you don't need to worry about anything. You are the BOSS's woman. No one on Earth can harm you."
"I didn't expect you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to also flatter people."
Susan couldn't help but laugh. She said, "I hope Andrew can make it in time."
Mystique heard this and said, "He won't make it, because he's currently getting hot and heavy with a beautiful woman."
Let's push time back a bit. On a New York street, Andrew, driving a convertible, stopped at a traffic light.
"When will Howard's AI be ready? With AI, I won't have to wait at traffic lights anymore. Uh, isn't that a bit of an overkill?"
Andrew was lost in thought when, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, a hot beauty wearing only a small tank top and hot pants leaned against the passenger door and asked, "Handsome, interested in taking me for a spin?"
