Walking the Path Magneto Once Walked

In the end, the Sentinel Robots could not be deployed, because Doctor Trask had made it clear that True Adamantium Alloy was extremely slow to produce, and there still was not enough of it to complete the Sentinel Model 3 Magnetic Field Rotation Robot.

With the current amount of True Adamantium Alloy, they could mix it with Sub-Adamantium Alloy to make a semi-finished Sentinel Model 3 robot. However, whether this semi-finished product could defeat Wakanda’s White Panther Armor was still uncertain.

Regardless of victory or defeat, all that True Adamantium Alloy would be wasted and could not be used again.

In other words, they would have to spend a great deal more time gathering enough True Adamantium Alloy to cast a finished Sentinel Model 3 robot. The Anti-Magneto Plan would inevitably be delayed because of this.

Compared with Magneto, the tiny African nation of Wakanda was completely insignificant.

After confirming that Stark Industries refused to provide more advanced Strong Magnetic Armor, the United States simply gave up on Wakanda for the time being, planning to settle the score after the Sentinel Model 3 robots came into existence.

With the United States falling silent, the other European countries naturally quieted down as well.

Thus, Erik’s Pan-African Alliance could finally develop without restraint.

After seeing Erik’s victory, those politicians who changed sides with the wind also began strongly supporting the Black Africa Plan.

Against this backdrop, the wealth of all the non-Black people in Africa was confiscated. They were driven out, forced into desperate circumstances, and some even died within the continent.

For many non-Black people who had been born and raised there, this was a completely unforeseen disaster. But under Erik’s decrees, no one cared whether they lived or died.

As Erik put it, "Your ancestors occupied our land for hundreds of years. What’s wrong with us collecting a little interest?"

Although Erik had driven out the non-Black people, he also understood clearly that Africa’s foundations were extremely weak and backward, and that it needed a great deal of talent. Thus, he used Vibranium technology as bait to lure Black intellectuals from various countries to Africa, where they could learn Vibranium technology while working together to revitalize the continent.

At the same time, he emphasized both civil and military development, extending an invitation to all the Black Magnetic Field Warriors living in the Western world. Many who had failed to prosper in life, or who were dissatisfied with the discrimination faced by Black people, left their countries for Wakanda, joined the alliance, and received important positions.

With these Magnetic Field Warriors, Erik took control of the armies of the alliance’s various countries and initially integrated the alliance.

But these Magnetic Field Warriors alone were not enough. Erik secretly returned to New York and obtained permission from Zhan Liu to establish a branch of the Ultimate Limit Sect in Wakanda, encouraging the people of Africa to learn martial arts and strengthen their nations.

He placed equal emphasis on technological and Martial Dao development.

On one hand, he had Wakanda’s scientists exchange knowledge with the returning scientists from different systems. On the other, he vigorously developed basic education in every country.

Most of the confiscated wealth was invested in education. Moreover, Wakanda’s advanced technology could reduce the operating costs of schools as much as possible.

Although this approach was often rejected by the ignorant Black populace, if it continued over the long term, it would inevitably greatly improve the people’s scientific literacy.

At the same time, children who disliked studying science could take the path of martial arts. Although they did not have Zhan Liu’s acceleration effect, several years would still be enough for a hardworking child to become a Current Drive expert.

Even if Current Drive experts became ubiquitous, these children would not have to worry about going hungry. At worst, they could at least be used as human generators, so achieving a middle-class standard of living for everyone would not be a problem.

Of course, there were plenty of problems as well.

For example, many Black gangsters who could no longer make a living in Europe and the United States also rushed to Africa.

It would have been bad enough if these men had simply refused to improve themselves, but they also led a large number of locals astray.

However, Erik was no devotee of democracy and would not talk about human rights with a group of social cancers. Under his orders, Magnetic Field Warriors led teams in sweeping through the gangs in every city, completely eliminating all the criminal forces. Heads rolled in such numbers that more than a hundred Head Mounds were built.

The Western countries erupted in an uproar. Amid all sorts of condemnation, the media gave Erik the nickname "Tyrant Martial God."

Erik did not care in the slightest. He had no time to waste on these gangs. Cutting through the mess with decisive action and clearing them out first would naturally intimidate many criminals and improve the social atmosphere to some extent.

He also understood very well that without solving the economic problems, the gangs would inevitably return. But what he wanted was a time gap—the time he needed to develop Wakanda’s economy and establish its industrial foundations.

In particular, many people in these gangs had obtained weapons, addictive drugs, and other things from Western countries. Their purpose was obvious without asking. There was no need to keep such people alive. Uprooting them completely was the best choice!

As for winning the people’s hearts, he did not really care about that either.

Ever since Magneto had set a bad precedent, many people had vaguely realized that the world’s rules had changed. Great power could be concentrated in one person, making it possible for a single individual to intimidate the entire world.

As one of the Martial Arts School’s early disciples, Erik had witnessed all of this firsthand. Moreover, he was a graduate student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his intelligence and knowledge were above the average. He was one of those people who saw the changes in the world with exceptional clarity.

It could be said that from the day he decided to establish the Pan-African Alliance, he had already set foot on the path Magneto had taken.

There was no turning back on this path!

Forward, or die!

The emergence of the Pan-African Alliance had a seismic impact on the global balance of power.

Within the United States, years of discriminatory policies had finally brought about their consequences.

After observing for some time and confirming that the Pan-African Alliance had a chance of succeeding and would place great importance on Black scholars returning to Africa, large numbers of frustrated Black intellectuals finally set out, leaving the United States to try their luck in Africa.

Even many Black people from the lower classes ignored the media’s smear campaigns and were willing to go to Africa to "strike gold."

These people from the lower classes might have seemed superfluous and often caused trouble. But once large numbers of them were gone, white Americans discovered that many of the low-paying, dirty, difficult jobs they were unwilling to do now had no one to perform them. There was also no one to handle much of the underground work. Even the operation of society began to suffer, becoming far less efficient.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Captain America loudly called on the American people to reflect, demanded that the social status of minorities be raised, and urged the country to retain more Black scholars and workers.

With S.H.I.E.L.D. cheering him on, Captain America’s momentum grew stronger and stronger. His approval ratings rose in a straight line, leaving his rivals struggling to cope.
