Yes.
Not worrying about scarcity, but about inequality.
This is the fundamental reason why mutants are in such a difficult situation.
All this talk about mutants losing control of their powers when they awaken and causing widespread damage is just a surface excuse.
It's like Fahai towards Bai Suzhen.
All this talk about how humans and demons can't love each other is nonsense; Xu Xian saw the root cause.
Fahai was simply envious of them, jealous, and thus wanted to break them apart.
The same is true for the mutants here.
Why can you mutate and have such powerful abilities, but we can't?
If we can't have it, then neither should you.
This is also why Hawk never thought of cultivating his own Bronze Saint Warriors and Silver Saint Warriors to serve him.
Not worrying about scarcity, but about inequality!
When he's strong as a god, even surpassing gods, everyone only respects him, flatters him, and fears him.
But once others realize he can produce them in batches, or that his abilities can be reached through cultivation.
Hehe.
Hawk dares to bet, no matter in which world, even if he wipes out all of Earth, humanity will still find a way to obtain the Little Cosmos Cultivation Method from him.
No other reason.
It's human nature.
While Hawk and Wanda were communicating, the mutant who had lost half his hair finally managed to fully heal the injuries of the Beatles member.
The Beatles member then stood up with the help of his three companions.
Hawk returned to his senses and looked at the Beatles member.
"Do you know Magneto?"
"...Yes."
"Tell me about him!"
To figure out which timeline of mutants this is in, or which version they're in, determining Magneto's timeline can determine the world's timeline.
The Beatles member looked at the calm face of Hawk and frowned slightly.
"We only heard about Magneto, but never saw him."
"Ever since Magneto was last seen ten years ago at the Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington, no one has seen him again."
Confirmed.
This is the X-Men: Days of Future Past timeline.
Right.
Now, what was the plot after X-Men: Days of Future Past?
Hawk's mind spun.
He actually didn't know much about the X-Men comics and movies, at least not in-depth, just skimmed through them.
Reality doesn't need logic, but movies do.
So...
Hawk also couldn't understand why, despite the mutants having such powerful abilities, they are at the lower end of Earth's food chain.
Shouldn't they at least form a Mutant Kingdom if not an empire?
Hawk couldn't understand.
But he didn't want to understand either. Once he realized this is the X-Men: Days of Future Past timeline, he had a rough guess as to where his daughter Jean was.
Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
X Academy.
Wait.
Where is this academy located?
Hawk's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the Beatles member: "Do you know the address of X Academy?"
The Beatles member looked stunned.
"X Academy?"
"Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, also known as Professor X's school."
"Uh..."
The Beatles member looked confused, glanced at his robber companions, and then looked at Hawk, shaking his head: "We've heard of this academy, it's said to be a sanctuary for mutants, but we don't know where it is, we're not even sure it really exists."
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
"Stories?"
"Yes."
The Beatles member nodded: "We heard about this academy from a mutant who came from out of town to New York City seeking refuge, maybe you can ask around in the Mutant Underground Community."
As he spoke, the Beatles member gave an address located in Queens.
Hawk glanced at the Beatles member, who didn't seem to be lying, nodded, and stopped talking. Under the gaze of the Beatles member and his cohorts, he walked over to their loot table, looking at the green Franklins on the table.
The next second.
One stack, two stacks, three, four stacks...
The Beatles member and his companions watched Hawk grab the cash on the table like a claw machine, not daring to move.
But Hawk didn't take too much.
Hawk only took ten stacks, worth one hundred thousand US Dollars, stuffed it into a nearby backpack, then tossed a dye pack he had just retrieved from the cash aside, and looked at the Beatles member: "Be careful when you split it, once this thing pops, it's unfixable."
With that.
Hawk slung the backpack over one shoulder, turned around, said something to Wanda, and the two left, leaving the Beatles member and his companions standing there, looking at each other in confusion.
"I thought you would take all the money."
"Thought about it."
Outside the warehouse, after Hawk and Wanda got in a taxi, heading to the address the Beatles member provided, they communicated mentally.
Of course.
Mainly in Hawk's mind, since now all his extraordinary abilities were lost, leaving only this ultimate Celestial God form he had.
Hawk answered Wanda's curiosity in his mind: "But it's unnecessary, one hundred thousand US Dollars is enough for our expenses."
Anyway, they didn't have plans to settle down here.
Hawk never considered it.
Wanda hadn't thought about it either.
After all, they came here to find their daughter, and once they did, they would head back immediately.
Although Hawk's sixth sense told him this might not be so smooth.
But...
As everyone knows.
He believes in "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" and "A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years," but he also believes "The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge!"
Future problems are for the future Hawk to worry about.
He only focuses on the present.
Then Wanda asked about the mentioned Magneto and Professor X.
Hawk suddenly remembered something.
Speaking of which...
If this is the timeline after X-Men: Days of Future Past, it seems like Quicksilver should be here.
But unlike the Quicksilver from their universe, this Quicksilver has silver hair, goggles, and a street-style outfit.
Compared to the Quicksilver from their Cosmos who has been weathered by time, this one still has the clarity and innocence of someone fresh out of school, untouched by the harsh world.
As the image of the X-Men version of Quicksilver emerged in Hawk's mind, Wanda, whose consciousness was also in Hawk's mind, saw this different Quicksilver too.
"Who is this?"
"...Quicksilver."
"Who?!"
Wanda was first stunned, then realized: "Pietro, is this Pietro?"
Hawk responded with a nod, then furrowed his eyebrows, recalling that this Pietro apparently also had a sister here.
In the movie, there's a scene where Quicksilver is watching TV with a little girl.
But...
Wanda is Pietro's sister, so as for who the little girl is, while Hawk was learning about the mutants, the internet was always debating this issue.
Finally, the movie producer came out and explained that it wasn't Wanda, but Quicksilver's sister, yet Quicksilver does have a sister because a dialogue was deleted in the movie.
That scene was where Quicksilver's mom told the little girl, "Go bother your sister," and the little girl replied, "My sister is bothering me."
So—
Everyone agreed that the little girl was Polaris.
But Polaris is only a half-sister; that's from the comics, and the timeline didn't match up, so people argued again.
After seeing this, Hawk didn't pursue it further.
However, this time, they should figure it out.
That's what Hawk thought.
And Wanda also recovered from the shock of this Quicksilver being Pietro, and then commented: "This Quicksilver doesn't look like my brother; he looks more like a younger brother."
Hawk smiled slightly: "Because here, your setting is his sister."
Wanda is Quicksilver's sister, that's the comic book setting.
But uniquely, in the universe where The Avengers exist, it was changed so that Quicksilver is Wanda's older brother, not her younger brother.
Wanda's eyes lit up: "Does this mean I'm here too, and I'm Pietro's sister?"
When she first saw the projection of Pietro in Hawk's mind, she felt he resembled a younger brother.
The clarity in his eyes was undeniable.
Unlike their Cosmos Pietro, whose eyes have been aged by time, along with that whispery stubble, revealing instantly that this Pietro is her older brother.
As everyone knows.
Every sister with an older brother has the dream of being an older sister.
When Anya from the 616 Cosmos went over there, didn't she run off to find Anya to try to be an older sister right away?
Similarly.
Upon knowing that here she is Pietro's sister, Wanda too felt a bit excited.
Hawk sensed Wanda's excitement.
"If you want, we can look for this Pietro."
"...Let's go to the Mutant Underground Community first."
Wanda heard this and suppressed her excitement: "After we find Jean, if we have time, we'll check it out."
After all, although this Quicksilver is also Pietro, he isn't her Pietro.
So it's the daughter that's most important.
Soon.
The taxi crossed the bridge, arrived in Queens, and stopped a block away from the destination.
After paying the fare, Hawk and Wanda got out and headed towards their destination.
"You seem to know the address?"
"Of course."
Hawk glanced at Wanda sideways, smiled, and said, "Queens, I've spent a long time here, so I'm naturally familiar with the place."
Wanda heard this, nodded, and didn't speak further.
Soon.
Hawk led Wanda to the address of the Mutant Underground Community as mentioned by the beatniks.
In sight.
A five-story apartment building with worn-out exterior walls appeared before them.
Hawk and Wanda stepped inside, and then were stopped by the apartment's caretaker.
"Sorry, private..."
"Shoo!"
Wanda raised her right hand, and the Crimson Chaos Power swirled in her palm like a red mist.
...
