Chapter 111 - Chapter 112: One Dominant, Fearless

On the X-Jet returning to New York, Adam took the opportunity to open his panel.

As expected, this Apocalypse incident, and the justice he earned from saving human civilization, directly maxed out his progress bar, granting him an opportunity to draw a new template.

"I'll draw it when I get home!"

Confirming that the progress bar was full, he wasn't in a hurry to draw a new template right away. Instead, he decided to wait until he was home and calm to properly draw it.

These protagonist templates not only brought him new Bloodline talents and knowledge, but also significantly boosted his strength at critical moments.

If he had relied only on his current combat power of over two hundred, he definitely wouldn't have been able to defeat Apocalypse and Magneto this time.

"Adam, are you really from an alien Planet?"

At eleven o'clock that night, after the X-Jet landed at the Mutant School, Professor X, who had regained consciousness, stopped Adam.

Adam shook his head:

"Of course not, but I am indeed not a Mutant."

"Then why did you say you were from an alien Planet? This way, I'm afraid many high-ranking officials in various countries will be on edge."

A hint of worry appeared on Professor X's face.

Having lived for so many years, he understood the high-ranking officials of human governments too well, knowing their modus operandi.

Even with Mutants, human governments were full of suspicion, let alone Adam claiming to be an alien.

An alien leading a large group of Superheroes in the future—even if Adam had saved Earth and human civilization, they would never trust him.

Adam smiled at his words:

"I know, I did it on purpose, Professor. You should know that even if I were human, a person who gained superpowers due to an accident, do you think that after this incident, the high-ranking officials of human governments would truly trust me?"

How could he not know what the Professor was talking about?

Even Superman, who was so devoted to humanity, faced various suspicions and difficulties from human governments because of his alien identity, let alone him.

In fact, he had already thought it through very clearly.

Regardless of his identity, with the strength he had displayed, like a human nuclear bomb, and the inevitable gathering of a large number of Superheroes in the future, the high-ranking officials of human governments would not stand idly by and let him develop.

They were actually no different from Nick Fury in their thinking; they would definitely use various methods and reasons to try and bring Adam and his League of Heroes under their control.

But would Adam let them have their way?

Of course not.

So, conflict was inevitable.

Rather than that, he might as well change his identity to an alien.

Firstly, he presented his identity and experience similarly to Superman, which would easily make the public associate him with Superman. Coupled with the fact that he truly almost sacrificed himself to save Earth and its people, he would be even more worthy of public trust.

This way, if the government tried any tricks against him, it would easily remind the public of Superman's experience, and at least public opinion would not be completely controlled by the government.

Secondly, he needed to give the high-ranking officials of human governments an excuse, an excuse to quickly move against him, and an alien identity was a very good excuse.

If he were human and had made such great contributions, the high-ranking officials of human governments would certainly not find it easy to act against him now; they would definitely choose to wait until this storm passed before using various methods to deal with him.

But now that he was an alien, the other party could use this as an opportunity to move against him, otherwise, once the public got used to his identity, this excuse would no longer be effective.

And he wanted to take advantage of the current peak of public interest and gratitude to properly resolve matters with the high-ranking officials of human governments.

He aimed to solve all problems at once, and then Training with peace of mind, avoiding frequent troubles later on.

Thirdly, with his current strength, there was absolutely no need to fear the high-ranking government officials anymore.

Professor X was on his side, Magneto was imprisoned at the Mutant School, and the only ones the high-ranking officials of human governments could rely on were Black Captain Marvel of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But Nick Fury shouldn't be foolish either; after witnessing his battle with Apocalypse, would he still be confident that Black Captain Marvel could hold the fort?

It was no longer a three-way standoff, but a single dominant power.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s strength had significantly diminished due to HYDRA, and it would continue to deal with HYDRA's harassment later.

And Magneto and all the Brotherhood of Mutants were imprisoned by them. If it came to a showdown with the human government, he believed Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants would definitely be willing to help.

Adam's strength had also reached that level.

The high-ranking officials of human governments might be foolish, but Nick Fury would not be foolish with them.

And most importantly, he, Adam, was not Superman; he would not be soft-hearted. Faced with high-ranking human government officials who sought to harm him, he would not subdue them with virtue like Superman.

He would make them understand that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks were futile.

He would not interfere with human political power, nor would he control humanity, but if any high-ranking official tried to deal with him, he would send that person to hell, and then let the next one take their place.

After enough deaths, there would always be smart ones who, out of fear, would step up and be willing to get along with him, allowing him to Training and do good deeds in peace.

However, the premise for all of this was that the high-ranking officials of human governments had to make the first move. This way, his actions would be self-defense, at most excessive self-defense, which everyone could understand in the future.

"You're right, but I still hope that we can correctly guide humanity onto the right path, rather than mutual hatred."

Professor X couldn't help but sigh.

He worried that Adam, after being provoked by high-ranking human government officials, would take extreme actions.

"Professor, please rest assured, the original intention of establishing the League of Heroes was to enable humans and Mutants to coexist harmoniously in the future, and to gain public acceptance for Mutants.

I believe that after today, this goal will be achieved very quickly.

So I will not take any extreme actions.

Of course, for certain individual human high-ranking officials who target us, I will certainly use some means.

Professor, we cannot be as extreme as Magneto, but we also cannot be too weak, otherwise, we will ultimately become their tools, and that would truly lead us further and further away from our goal."

Adam replied with a firm tone.

Iron Man, Hulk, and the Fantastic Four, these Superheroes, had not yet emerged, and Thor had not yet come to Earth. The only one who could truly overpower him, Ancient One, was even more of an old slacker.

Unless Earth was destroyed, or dimensional beings invaded, she would not intervene in such minor matters.

So, this period was the best time for him to fully display his abilities without any scruples, to properly discipline human governments, and ensure they wouldn't dare to harbor any ill intentions for the next few years.

Moreover, he believed he was doing the right thing. He established the League of Heroes, recruiting a large number of Superheroes and Mutants to do good deeds.

If someone tried to stop him, and he eliminated those people, wasn't that still doing the right thing?
