Leading Mutants to Greatness

Mirror Dimension.

Only Chen Ji and Raven.

Chen Ji smiled slightly, raised his hand, pinched Mystique's chin, and slowly lifted it up.

Mystique's gaze remained calm.

My heart was pounding.

Chen Ji...

What exactly are you planning to do with her?!

Raven was both terrified and delighted; her expression was extremely complex.

What's terrifying is that Chen Ji, as Mystic Arts Mage power, actually exiled Magneto and sided with the X-Men!

Fortunately, Chen Ji is an Omega-Level Mutant, and his Mutant identity determines his stance!

Perhaps...

Magneto and Professor X are both wrong, and Chen Ji is right?

Mystique looked confused.

She could never imagine what Chen Ji's philosophy was, or how he planned to lead Mutant to a bright and promising future.

"Raven."

"There's no need to be afraid."

I won't hurt you.

"After all, I'm Mutant too. There's no absolute hatred; we should Solidarity and Cooperation."

"Magneto has gone mad."

"They actually hate me because of my abilities."

Chen Ji shook his head.

However, it's somewhat understandable. After all, the Black King killed Magneto's mother; how could the hatred of killing one's mother be forgiven?

He exiled Magneto to Morag, partly to give him time to calm down and think things through: whether to cooperate or become enemies.

If we cooperate.

Magneto is also a powerful weapon; his abilities and prestige are in no way inferior to Professor X's.

If hostile...

He's about to use his deadly power!

What exactly do you want to get?

"List."

Raven finally asked the question that had been bothering her.

What do you think?

Chen Ji smiled.

He did not explain his plans.

But he had his own ideas.

For example, there was an American TV series he watched, the Boys.

This story primarily portrays the dark side of superheroes; however, the methods used by Vought Group in the show are worth learning from.

If villains can become stars, then Mutant can too!

He wants to make Mutant the world's top superstars!

Improve public opinion through modern media and online tools, including short videos and films, rather than through education and war!

War.

It will instill fear in humans.

Educate.

It will annoy people.

Now that we've entered the information age, we must adapt to it.

He even decided to establish a technology company to launch TikTok ahead of schedule, thus breaking the dominance of capital groups.

At this point in time, the short video field is still a completely untapped market.

Five hundred million US dollars.

It is sufficient for starting a company and designing programs.

His custom-designed TikTok account will also be used to enhance the reputation of Mutant, allowing the general public to see the X-Men and the flashy abilities of Mutant!

Furthermore, he will open up the copyright of heroes, driving related industries, theme parks, hero ranking competitions, fan economy, etc.

In short.

It's all about 'entertainment' management!

This is completely different from the philosophies of Magneto and Professor X.

To gain acceptance from humans, Mutant must first enhance their prestige and social status, making Mutant existence known to the public!

Because the Federal Government controls the media narrative, neither newspapers nor social media platforms have a single good word to say about Mutant, which has led to discrimination and prejudice against Mutant by ordinary people.

TikTok, or rather, short videos, are the key to breaking this deadlock!

Only by seeing is believing, and only then can we overturn the stereotypes about Mutant and let the general public see that there are good and bad Mutant!

We cannot simply relinquish the right to judge Mutant to official media!

The key point is... if he can successfully launch TikTok, it will definitely bring a huge amount of Luck Value in return!

That was his ultimate goal!

However, Chen Ji was not comfortable entrusting the project to others for operation.

And he doesn't have the time to manage a business or company.

But...

If Mystique could approve of his plan, she could be a great help.

Her shapeshifting ability, intelligence, and skill are also extraordinary.

"List."

Before I met you, I trusted Charles and Eric, but if your plan can sway me, I might change my mind.

Mystique's curiosity was piqued, and a hint of anticipation flickered in her beautiful eyes.

Everything she did was to find a way out for Mutant.

If Chen Ji could think of a better way out, why would she insist on going down a dead-end path?

She also detested war!

She's like a hybrid of Magneto and Professor X.

Sometimes left, sometimes right; sometimes righteous, sometimes wicked.

Upon hearing Mystique's words, Chen Ji pondered for a moment and conveyed part of his thoughts.

If Mystique could understand, it would save him time.

He also needs a front man!

"Short videos?"

What are short videos?

"Turning Mutant into superstars?"

"List."

Are you sure you can really do it?

Mystique listened to Chen Ji's idea, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and a smile appeared on her face.

She didn't possess Professor X's extensive knowledge, nor was she blinded by hatred. Moreover, as a woman, she was well aware of the fervor women have for idol worship.

If she could put herself in that situation, her view of Mutant would definitely change!

It must be said that, from her perspective, Chen Ji's strategy was far more direct and to the point than Professor X's, and even more subtle than Magneto's methods.

Assuming...

If all of this could come true, then the situation of Mutant would indeed improve!

At least I won't be seen as a monster anymore!

The key issue is...

Where does the money come from?

Charles won't provide it.

The Federal Government will also do its utmost to ban 'TikTok'!

The hegemony of public opinion cannot be shaken by a single piece of software, and even if it could, the Federal Government would not allow it!

"I have a good relationship with Tony Stark and Nick Fury."

"Furthermore, I plan to establish the company in Sokovia. Sokovia is located in Eastern Europe, bordering Tsarist Russia, and even the America cannot control it."

"As for funding, I have five hundred million US dollars."

"Can you help me find manpower?"

Chen Ji smiled knowingly.

To his surprise, his plan was approved by Mystique.

Perhaps, because she is a woman?

Knowing full well the fans' madness?

That resolved his worries.

"Sokovia..."

Why do you value Sokovia so much?

What secrets are hidden here?

Mystique eyes slightly.

Without her noticing, she had already shifted her allegiance, no longer belonging to Professor X or Magneto, but instead aligning herself with Chen Ji!

Mystique found Chen Ji's blueprint even more appealing!

It perfectly fits this era.

It will not make the situation of Mutant more dangerous.

After all, war is often accompanied by sacrifice, Magneto's extremism also requires paying with one's life!

Professor X's moderate approach places his hopes on the benevolence of the powerful, but can compromise truly bring power?

They'll just be used as tools.

Mystique, having lived for over half a century, is worldly-wise and her opinion of Chen Ji has steadily risen.

"Sokovia has traces of Blasphemy Cult."

"This is a major threat to the Hidden World."

"And the reason I established this company here is to find out exactly where the headquarters of the Blasphemy Cult is."

"Besides..."

"The Sokovia yearn for change, yearn for peace; this will be the stage for Mutant to shine!"

Chen Ji's eyes showed anticipation.

"I see."

"As for manpower, you don't need to worry. I can also command the Brotherhood of Mutants, but be wary of the Hellfire Club and guard against the White Queen's interference."

"Her ideas coincided with yours, and she had already established a Hellfire Corporation."

"But the businesses she was involved in were all shady, and she had dealings with Kingpin and the Hand."

"List."

Can I trust you?

Raven took the initiative to shake hands.

She really did seem convinced.

Can I trust you?

Chen Ji smiled.

He immediately grasped Raven's hand.

Both were skeptical, but their goals were nearly identical: to continuously strive to improve the situation of Mutant.

The next second.

Chen Ji waved his hand, dispelling the Mirror Dimension.

Sabretooth finally crawled back, soaking wet like a drowned rat. Seeing Raven and Chen Ji standing together, while Magneto was nowhere to be seen, he looked puzzled.

Another figure also climbed over the wall, his tongue as long as a toad's, his eyes constantly shifting.

It seems no one expected that Mystique and her enemy would shake hands and make peace!

Chen Ji then directly checked the other party's Entry Panel.

[Name]: Raymond

[Identity]: Toad

[Entry]: Wallflower (white), Amphibian (green), Eloquent (green).

[Fence-sitter] (White): He has no firm stance, is used to changing his stance with the wind, and only follows the strong.

[Amphibian] (Green): His awakened mutant ability grants him the ability to scale walls and perform superhuman physical feats. He can survive for extended periods even underwater, and his attack power should not be underestimated.

[A silver tongue] (Green): His tongue is exceptionally flexible and agile, capable of easily capturing prey with swift and deadly movements, making it impossible to defend against.

"Victor."

"Magneto has gone to other planets, and I'm going to team up with Chen Ji to go to Sokovia."

Are you interested in coming with me?

Mystique transformed, her skin rippling with waves, instantly becoming a blonde, elegant older sister with a pure and mature appearance.

She can transform herself into anything, even people she has never met.

But now this face has a legal identity, and only with a legal identity can one start a company.

"Raven."

Are you sure he's trustworthy?

"You stole his things!"

"And we even fought with him..."

Victor looked doubtful.

I really can't understand this situation.

Shouldn't there be a winner and a loser between enemies?

"Victor."

"Stop nagging."

Make your decision.

Mystique didn't bother to explain.

Even if you explain it, the Sabretooth might not understand.

The Toad's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed. Since Magneto was gone, he had no choice but to stick with Mystique.

"Sokovia?"

"This is a good place."

"We're going to occupy Sokovia?"

The Toad, its tongue lolling out, immediately became excited.

"Almost."

"But you must abide by my rules. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Now..."

"I am the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants."

Chen Ji's eyes were sharp.

Petty people fear power, not virtue.

When dealing with these small fry, fists are more effective than reason!

"Knew."

The Toad and the Sabretooth looked at each other, and despite their resentment, they could only temporarily choose to submit.

Certainly.

The two were also plotting how to find Magneto!

He slashed open a Mystic Portal with his bare hands.

Chen Ji became [Cangjie's Proxy], so he wouldn't be forcibly teleported to the Weird World, and he was completely free of any worries.

Many plans can now be accelerated!

For example...

Support Baron Zemo to the throne!

He then opened a portal and arrived directly at Baron Zemo's manor, an ancient, exquisite, and magnificent estate.

As a genuine, long-established nobleman, Baron Zemo's family was incredibly wealthy!

And the moment the Mystic Portal appeared.

This alerted Baron Zemo, who immediately picked up his hunting rifle and went into the courtyard.

But then four uninvited guests appeared out of nowhere in the house, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.

"Zemo."

"What's your decision?"

"Are you interested in becoming the Prime Minister of Sokovia?"

"To show my sincerity, I brought my helper."

Chen Ji smiled.

Then, the tall, Sabretooth messy, shoulder-length hair also took a half-step forward.

The Toad and Mystique nodded in agreement.

"Your helper?"

"Mutant?"

Baron Zemo's eyes flashed; as the commander of the Echo Scorpion special forces team in Sokovia, he recognized them at a glance.

Sabretooth!

Members of the Brotherhood of Mutants!

The appearance of the Sabretooth also indirectly confirms Baron Zemo's guess that Chen Ji may indeed be Mutant and a Mystic Arts Mage!

Key...

Why did Chen Ji make him the chief minister?

Or rather, why change Sokovia?

What ulterior motives lie behind this?

Still...

A mysterious organization lurking in Sokovia has been discovered?

Baron Zemo was fully aware of this.

The current Prime Minister Spiro Laynovich, has a brother Lidovich, who serves as a priest in a mysterious organization!

However, it's been a long time since I've seen Lidovich.

"It seems you already know my purpose."

"Zemo."

"The Blasphemy Cult."

"Also known as the Fellowship, it's located in Sokovia."

"I'm going to eradicate this organization, and as for you rising to power, that's just a side effect."

So, what is your answer?

Chen Ji laughed.

If Baron Zemo is willing to cooperate, then his plan will naturally fall into place!

Not only can it Mutant into global superstars, but it can also ensure that Sokovia will never be at war again!

"Feel sorry."

"I don't have that ability."

Zemo shook his head.

He looked at his wife and children behind him.

He has already started a family and established a career, and really doesn't want to get involved in political struggles.

"Could it be...?"

"Do you think your family will be safe if you don't take action?"

"The Blasphemy Cult."

"They frequently hold blood sacrifice rituals to gain power, but do you know what demons like most?"

"Child."

"A child's blood is the sweetest."

Chen Ji pointed to Baron Zemo's children.

Moment.

This caused Baron Zemo's brain to whirl and his pupils to contract.

If the Blasphemy Cult extends its poisonous reach to his children...
