"Apocalypse is so important to Jean Grey."
"In that case, Apocalypse can't die too early!"
"He can't even be captured too early."
Michael remembered the mission he had given to Storm and a few other Mutants.
If they captured or even killed Apocalypse before he could empower Jean Grey, wouldn't that be a total disaster… Michael knew that the Phoenix Force was not a Mutant ability.
But Apocalypse could empower Mutants, so he could naturally empower Jean Grey's Mutant abilities.
Driven by the empowerment of her Mutant abilities, Jean Grey's Phoenix Force would naturally also grow stronger.
And if the empowered Jean Grey then went all out or blackened, it would naturally be very easy to attract the Phoenix Force Fragment wandering in the Universe.
With Jean Grey's current strength, the Phoenix Force Fragment probably wouldn't even bother to look at her. Therefore, Apocalypse cannot die! At least, not in the short term!
"White."
"How are Storm and the others doing with their training?"
Although only a few days had passed, the strength of Storm, Psylocke, and the others probably hadn't increased much.
But what if someone among them suddenly experienced a surge in strength? And then, these guys, inflated with power, ran off to capture Apocalypse.
What if they actually captured Apocalypse? Should they release him or not? That's a problem!
"Master!"
"They are still undergoing 'recruitment' training."
"Currently, only the basic biological cultivation adaptation has been activated; they haven't officially entered the bio-weapon enhancement program yet!"
The process White described was actually not much different from the Super Soldier Training System within the Dream warship that Michael built before he transmigrated from the Movie Universe.
However, the Super Soldier Training System primarily involved cosmic ray irradiation, fundamentally altering the genetic sequence of the trainees to grant them superpowers, and then further enhancing those abilities.
But the 'Bio-Weapon Enhancement System' that White is now building in the Base omits the step of activating superpowers, because the targets undergoing training in the Bio-Weapon Enhancement System already had activated super genes from the start.
For example, Mutants, Ability Userss, and even Superpowered Warriors mass-produced directly from biochemical manufacturing plants.
These... training targets all possessed superpowers from the beginning, so they naturally only needed enhancement training.
Of course, a slight difference between White's enhancement system and the Super Soldier Training System in the Dream is that White's system includes a newer, stronger, and more suitable basic biological cultivation adaptation.
It's like when an ordinary person goes to the hospital for treatment and injections, the Nurse will first do a skin test.
However, while a skin test can have 'can' or 'cannot' results, White's basic biological cultivation adaptation is 100% effective, as it's tailored to each individual's genetic foundation.
"Oh."
"So that's how it is."
"That's good."
"In that case, their training pace can be appropriately slowed down a bit."
"Once Jean Grey's strength here increases, then we can accelerate their progress!"
Hearing White's description of the process, and that no unexpected situations had occurred, Michael was very satisfied.
Normally, he feared it wasn't fast enough, but now he feared it wasn't... slow enough. It was quite something.
After all, the Phoenix Force was not an ability born from Jean Grey herself.
Jean Grey was merely the host of the Phoenix Force. Although the Phoenix Force would strengthen as its host's power increased, it could not be enhanced by White's enhancement system.
Otherwise, Michael could have White secretly go to the Mutant School and secretly strengthen Jean Grey.
"Yes!"
"Master!"
White responded obediently.
"What's the situation with White-headed Eagle and Mao Xiong now?"
With Storm's situation resolved, Michael remembered Les, Jason, and the other Mutants he had sent out.
Although it stemmed only from Michael's mischievousness and his probing of Ancient One.
But if the Third World War were to break out now, Apocalypse might still be specifically targeted and killed. Wouldn't the plan to have Apocalypse strengthen Jean Grey then die in its infancy?
"Master, in terms of military strength, Mao Xiong surpasses White-headed Eagle. In the current Cold War, White-headed Eagle has almost completely shifted to a defensive stance."
"However, in terms of economic conditions, Mao Xiong cannot keep up with White-headed Eagle. According to calculations, Mao Xiong will be dragged down by a huge economic disparity within a few years."
"Overall, Mao Xiong has a slight edge in military power, while White-headed Eagle has a slight edge in economic productivity."
"Currently, both White-headed Eagle and Mao Xiong are relatively restrained, and the Third World War will not break out for now."
"Moreover, according to the records in the database, historical records are also consistent with the current situation."
White had long implemented comprehensive monitoring of the entire Earth. Let alone the Cold War parties, except for places like Kamar-Taj that couldn't be probed, even Wakanda had been under White's surveillance.
The various changes in the Cold War situation could not escape White's control in the slightest.
"Has the involvement of Les and Jason... increased the possibility of the Third World War breaking out?"
Michael asked again.
"There is no such impact for now."
"Because Master, you requested not to accelerate the Third World War too quickly."
"Les, Jason, and other Mutants have currently only secretly joined White-headed Eagle and Mao Xiong, as well as the Hellfire Club and other factions, and are temporarily lying low."
"They have neither promoted the progress of either side nor hindered their development."
"Currently, Les and Jason and the others are more like transparent people."
"But if Master has a need, with the cooperation of the Base, they can quickly take control of key departments in multiple factions and directly interfere with the progress of the Third World War!"
As White explained, he projected and displayed the organizations, departments, and the influence of those departments where Les, Jason, and these Mutants were located.
"Hmm..."
"Very clear at a glance."
"Not bad."
"Keep it up."
"It's still the same sentiment."
"Until Apocalypse successfully strengthens Jean Grey, everything should remain as is."
Regarding whether the Third World War would break out, Michael would not interfere too much here.
He would neither let these people promote development nor hold them back, allowing it to develop naturally.
If, under natural development, the Third World War still broke out, then it was meant to happen, wasn't it?
"Yes!"
"Master!"
White recorded all of Michael's commands. This held important guiding significance for how the Base should develop next.
"Whew."
"Next up is... getting Jean Grey to Apocalypse as soon as possible," Michael mused, stroking his chin. He pondered how to subtly get Jean Grey to Apocalypse. A direct spatial transfer definitely wouldn't work.
For the Phoenix Force, if Michael used a power on it that he had used before, the Phoenix Force would inevitably remember it.
While being remembered or not wouldn't pose a threat to Michael, if it caused resistance, it wouldn't be perfect, would it?
