Chapter 152: Elysium

A few days later.

In the restaurant below the hotel.

"So, how do you plan to execute your plan?"

Emma slices the bacon on her plate. Despite being starved, she maintains her graceful manners.

She gently chews on the bacon and looks at Jack, curious about his utopia plan.

"It's nothing special, just as it sounds... creating a mutant nation."

Jack has nothing in front of him.

With one hand supporting his chin and the other hand lightly tapping the table, he smirks in response to Emma's question.

"I'm still figuring out how to do it."

"Creating a mutant nation," Emma pauses her actions and looks at him with confusion. "How do you plan to do that? As far as I know, there are very few places on Earth that haven't been inhabited by humans, let alone the fact that most land already has been occupied."

Indeed, it is a problem.

To create a brand new nation, they would need land, a huge amount of land. However, many lands have already been occupied, and any sudden actions would inevitably lead to conflicts and expose mutants to public attention.

If that's the case, it's not a good thing.

Emma knew well the hatred and discrimination ordinary people had towards mutants, and she expressed her concerns about it.

However, for Jack, this was not a problem at all.

"Then we won't place it on Earth."

Looking at the street outside the window, Jack leaned back and whispered, "We need to widen our ideas, like..."

"Space?"

Emma's eyes stared at him as if he were stupid, but instantly, she regained her composure and asked, "Okay, I won't ask how you plan to get into space. So, how do you intend to create a utopia in space?"

Jack could sense the sarcasm in Emma's tone, but he remained calm. Instead, he confidently replied, "Wait until you finish eating, and then I'll show you."

"I'm done eating."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Emma pushed her plate aside and stared at Jack deeply.

"...Alright."

Jack shrugged and stood up.

"Let's go."

In the next moment, in the outer space, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Earth.

A flash of blue light passed by, and Jack and Emma appeared here.

"Oh my god!"

As soon as they arrived, Emma was surprised. She looked at the quiet planet and stars around her, then glanced back at the huge and beautiful Earth.

She looked at Jack, who had a playful expression on his face and couldn't believe it. "Oh my God, how did you do this?"

Jack knew she was asking how they could survive, breathe, and speak in space, but he didn't answer her.

Instead, he raised his hand with the palm facing forward.

While Emma was still in doubt, her vision blurred for a moment, and then she saw a huge object appearing in front of her in space!

From their position, she could see the whole structure clearly. Judging by her analysis, the size of this object was over a hundred miles wide, and it had a circular shape.

It looked like a giant dinner plate, with a concave bottom and a huge translucent glass cover on top, tightly sealed together.

Emma could even see that there seemed to be many small things happening under the glass cover, but the view from here was not very clear.

This giant plate reminded Emma of the space cities described in science fiction novels.

It really looked like one.

"This is what I wanted to show you!"

Jack pointed at the space city in front of them. "The nation of mutants, I call it... Elysium!"

Emma looked at the Elysium, which was not fully built yet and remained silent for a long time.

She felt her heart and mind trembling as her worldview of decades was shattered.

She turned her head to Jack in a daze and asked in a dry voice, "Who... who are you, really?"

At this moment, she looked at this man who had shared intimate moments with her and had a smile that could make anyone feel warm, but she couldn't help but feel a tinge of fear in her heart.

Jack casually glanced at Emma, fully aware of her thoughts.

"All of this... is for one person."

'One person?'

Emma thought silently in her mind, wondering who that person could be.

Jack didn't say anything, his thoughts drifting far away.

In truth, it hasn't taken long to build this space city.

Since Jean was forced to return to this universe, Jack had the Red Queen start building this space city in the Milky Way!

It was his gift to Jean...

The worker used in Elysium is currently all robots, so they don't need rest. With the massive continuous build, the speed of construction is simply amazing.

There's no need to worry about resources, and technical issues are a piece of cake. Building such a massive space city is not a problem in terms of time.

If he wanted to, Jack could accelerate the flow of time, but it's unnecessary because it's already fast enough.

The construction progress of the entire Elysium has already reached 80%, with the outer layer completed and only some inside arrangements remaining.

Elysium is powered by five antimatter energy reactors. Just one of them can satisfy the energy of the entire Earth, but it takes five to barely meet the needs of Elysium.

Below the space city, there is a main cannon that, once charged, can turn the moon into cosmic dust with a single shot.

There are countless other defense cannons, and as long as it doesn't encounter disasters like star explosions, it can basically travel freely in the solar system.

"From today on, your task is to manage all the affairs of Elysium. The hopes of our mutant lie with you."

Emma was stunned for a moment when suddenly burdened with such a heavy responsibility. Clearly, she hadn't expected Jack to entrust her with such an important role.

"Let's go, let's go inside and take a look."

In the next instant, the two of them flashed again and arrived inside Elysium.

When arriving there, Emma finally experienced the loud construction scene inside.

Countless robots are tirelessly working at the center, and even though it's still in its early stages, you can already see that it's a city.

Surrounding the city is a large forest. Emma looked up and saw the blue sky, drifting white clouds, and the sun hanging high in the sky.

She would think this was Earth if she didn't know the truth.

"It will take a few more months to complete the construction. By then, problems on Earth will also be coming to an end,"

Jack thought for a moment and said, "You can try to recruit Azazel and Riptide. Their abilities will be useful. There are still many mutants on Earth, and if you want to save them, you'll need some assistance."

"I agree with that. I can convince the two of them, as long as..."

Emma paused for a moment, but Jack knew what she was going to say.

"No problem, he won't live long!"

As long as Shaw is dead, everything will be fine!

"By the way, there's one more thing I need to tell you. Not everyone can enter Elysium. You also need to be prepared for that."

"???"
