"No, in terms of ideology, I'm not much stronger than you. It's just that I hold the belief that if something can be achieved, I'll pursue it; if not, I'll find another way.
Moreover, at least tens of thousands of Mutants have died because of my orders, and I even pushed for legislation on legal Mutant experiments."
Richard's words sent a chill down the young Mutant's spine.
Professor X was not intimidated.
"But the results are good, aren't they?"
"...I almost miss you at this time. The Charles on my side has already become an old hand."
As soon as Richard finished speaking,
Charles, who was behind him, said somewhat sadly,
"I didn't expect to be so disliked by the Leader after becoming young again. Forget it, I'll retire and enjoy my old age when I go back. I'll leave the work to Jean."
However, his youthful appearance was quite out of place.
"Sigh, I was wrong. Please shut up."
Richard rubbed his forehead helplessly.
The gentle and kind Grandpa of the past was completely gone.
Professor X, however, felt a bit envious.
Because this also meant that the heavy burden of being a Mutant on his other self had completely disappeared—no, it should be said that it had been transferred to another person.
A voice suddenly came from above; it was Thunderbird, who was on lookout. (Possesses superhuman physical abilities)
"Twelve transport planes, ten miles out."
"No more nonsense. From now on, I'm taking over here. All of you obey my orders. Any objections?!"
The Mutants on the other side frowned upon hearing this.
How could a stranger suddenly demand their obedience? The atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Of course, we will cooperate fully."
Professor X trusted Richard greatly.
Perhaps it was because his ideals had been realized by this young man, or perhaps it was because of his other self.
"I like your attitude, Hank. Inject them with the antidote you brought. Eric, bring back a few samples."
Richard nodded in satisfaction.
"Intramuscular injection is fine."
Hank carried the prepared antidote and gave one to each person.
Shadowcat and Iceman, among others, looked at Professor X.
Professor X took it and directly injected it into his thigh.
Hank looked at Professor X and said,
"You're still so impulsive."
"The results can't be worse, can they?"
Professor X said with a smile, a sense of openness and optimism in his expression.
After injecting the antidote, Magneto felt as if his X-gene had gained a switch, allowing him to hide it at will.
"If we had this antidote a few years ago, so many people wouldn't have died. Everyone, inject it."
Seeing this, the others also began to inject themselves, and their X-genes began to hide.
Eric also returned at this time, accompanied by two Sentinel Robots encased in metal.
"Please release me, human. I need to continue my mission of eliminating Mutants."
The Sentinel Robot emitted a cold, mechanical sound.
It was the first time Iceman and the others had heard their voices; they had always thought of them as mere killing machines.
"Let me see."
Tony went to the back of the Sentinel Robot and began to dismantle it.
But even so, the Sentinel Robot did not show any aggressive behavior.
"Please stop the unauthorized operation!"
"The record has been uploaded to the platform."
"Human, you have violated 241 laws and regulations. Please report to the Tribunal tomorrow for judgment…"
The light in the Sentinel Robot's eyes instantly vanished.
"Dr. Zola, this one is yours."
Eric manipulated one Sentinel Robot to lie down.
Dr. Zola approached, his arm transforming and extending a bundle of thin data cables, invading the Sentinel Robot's body.
"This amazing structure is very similar to nanometal, but it also possesses the characteristics of biological cells—a special kind of bio-metal, though its strength is a bit lacking."
Tony carefully studied the Sentinel Robot.
"Perhaps it can be combined with nanometal to compensate for the lack of strength."
Stark proposed his idea.
"That might cause problems with the bio-metal's deformation structure, but it could be compensated with promethium, and it itself has a bit of bio-metal properties."
"..."
On the other side.
"Ice-head, if you look at me with that gaze again, believe it or not, I'll punch you."
John looked at Iceman opposite him with annoyance.
Especially his sideburns.
"Sorry, I just miss my friend a bit."
Iceman's eyes reddened; that familiar nickname instantly stirred deep memories within him.
"How did I die in this World?"
"To save us, he ignited explosives, dragging hundreds of Sentinel Robots to their deaths with him."
"Not bad, not shameful."
On the other side.
"Bang!"
Logan grabbed Wolverine and pinned him against the wall, glaring at him with bloodshot eyes.
"You bastard, you ate my barbecue and drank my wine. I ate diet meals with Emma for a week, and I was counting on this meal to recover some blood, and you finished it in a few bites."
Wolverine's claws were already out, intending to stab him a few times, but he felt a bit guilty upon hearing this.
"Why did you marry her?"
"I married her because… she married… *muffled sound*."
"Husband, it's snowing outside. Come watch the snow with me."
White Queen covered Logan's mouth with one hand and dragged him away.
Wolverine looked at him with pity, silently deciding never to get married.
"Jean, I miss you so much."
Shadowcat couldn't help but hug Black Phoenix.
"Kitty, you've got the wrong person."
Black Phoenix patted the small head in her arms.
"How did I die in this World?"
Jean asked from the side.
"You in this World were on a mission in the Universe, controlled by the Phoenix Force, turned into Black Phoenix to destroy the World, and finally committed suicide."
Storm looked at the two Jeans in front of her with mixed emotions, somewhat hoping one of them was their Jean.
"Black Phoenix? Did you ever have the thought of destroying the World?"
Jean turned to Black Phoenix beside her and asked.
"Destroy the World? Why would I destroy it?"
Black Phoenix also couldn't understand what her counterpart in this World was thinking. Why destroy the World if it didn't provoke you?
Kitty, who was still hugging Black Phoenix, stiffened and slowly looked up.
"You're Black Phoenix?"
"Mm-hmm, so do you want some snacks?"
"..."
"She fainted?"
Black Phoenix looked innocently at Jean.
"How did you become so weak?"
Eric asked somewhat puzzled.
He had noticed it earlier; even though he was old, his strength had declined too much.
Magneto sighed wearily.
"Our ability strength is also closely related to our minds. In these fifty years, people have constantly died in front of me. Fifty years of hiding, fifty years of failure—I'm already tired."
Towards the end, his voice gradually deepened.
Eric felt somewhat complex.
The fate of his other self was too tragic, or rather, Mutants without a leader would be so desperate.
Professor X thanked Charles.
"Thank you!"
"It has nothing to do with me; it was the Leader's decision."
Charles waved his hand.
"Can you tell me about your World?"
"That would start with the demon invasion."
