Meeting

At the same time, inside a black swallow-shaped aircraft flying at high speed in the night sky, the elderly version of Professor X, wearing a [Brainwave Amplifier], opened his eyes.

"How is that possible!"

If another Professor X saw this, he would probably make the same shocked sound.

However, the latter is because the [Brainwave Amplifier] can be shrunk and placed in a cabin of less than ten square meters, and the silver-blue and red stars representing humans and Mutants are too sparse, only Dotty and there.

The former, however, suddenly discovered several superstars, one of whom was clearly...

"Is this my son?" Magneto, inside the cockpit, also recognized him by the silhouette. However, lacking Mind Stone abilities, he was limited to the projected outline and mistakenly believed that he had a son who looked very similar.

"No, this is you." Professor X didn't know what to say.

As he grew older, he didn't rashly contact the person corresponding to the superstar like his younger self did; instead, he began to change course.

Therefore, Shadowcat did not find it.

She was just fixated on Apocalypse's words.

"Weaklings?" She was speechless. "They are the elite of Mutants. Strong enough to defeat Sentry in a one-on-one situation."

"Sentry are capable of self-learning, and have even evolved to break free from their creators' constraints, viewing X-Gene carriers as targets to be dealt with. Each one is essentially a tactical mastermind, and can store copied abilities."

"In many of our past experiences, we have not been defeated by the Sentry, but by the formidable abilities of our comrades."

"Sunspot lost to Iceman, Iceman lost to Sunspot."

"When two equally matched opponents can only fight hand-to-hand, flesh and blood are no match for the towering metal robots."

"Mutant abilities are not such inconvenient things," Apocalypse sneered. "You are like Beast who can only use your abilities like muscles. Thousands of years have passed, and my brethren have not made any progress."

"How does Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters teach you?"

Shadowcat wanted to argue, but when she thought about the curriculum of the Super High School, the latter seemed too childish in comparison, like the difference between a public high school and an Ivy League school.

"Here we go again." Apocalypse looked up.

In the gloomy sky, a trapezoidal building-shaped aircraft, completely defying aerodynamics, Accio towards them.

Soon, the aircraft's hatch opened.

The cone-shaped metal block fell from it, transforming into a gray-black, long-limbed steel puppet— the Sentry —just before hitting the ground, which Accio towards Shadowcat and the others.

"Class time begins."

As he finished speaking, a giant Sentry flew up from the ground and flew towards him.

"First, it's you—your name?"

When asked about Bipshaw replied, "Lucas Bishop."

"Your ability is to absorb and transform energy, but in practice you find that due to your fragile body, you cannot directly absorb direct physical impacts. You can only absorb conventional energy such as electricity and heat, turning it into bullets for the energy gun in your hand," Apocalypse said.

"Yes." Bipshaw nodded.

"Incorrect answer."

The giant Sentry has already engaged six Sentry.

They faced the onslaught of Sentry whose limbs were sharpened, engulfed in flames, or covered in frost.

The giant Sentry was clearly suspended in mid-air, yet it remained majestically still.

Then, he seized the opportunity to hug all six Sentry, and soon the faint light in Sentry eyes and chests went out, as they lost their energy.

"This is my ability?" Bipshaw asked incredulously.

"Using your abilities requires thinking. You just need to increase the power of your instantaneous energy absorption and find a little trick—the siphon effect that suits your energy conversion—and you can do it," Apocalypse said. "Put down your gun, and you'll find that the energy you absorb and convert can be stored in your body to enhance your strength, heal wounds, and build a protective shield."

As he finished speaking, the giant Sentry's face blossomed, shooting out several azure rays.

The people who were shot instantly felt refreshed, their strength was restored, and they were no longer hungry.

As the Primarch Bipshaw could naturally see that the giant Sentry's abilities were even slightly weaker than his own, which surprised him even more than before.

"Your lesson will continue later," Magneto said, his patience waning as he watched the trapezoidal buildings Accio toward them in the gray sky. "They've discovered my presence and still dare to get closer. How ignorant."

——

"How could this be?"

In New York, North America, a wine glass filled with red wine suddenly falls to the ground in a high-rise building in a concentration camp-like architectural center.

Stryker, his face already covered in wrinkles, stood up, his fingers trembling.

It's not because the signals of a large number of Sentry in Moscow have disappeared.

It was a photo taken by a satellite.

Amidst the fireworks caused by the Sentry's explosion, Erik Lehnsherr stands suspended in mid-air, still looking young, wearing a white uniform with the letters SH (Sky Supersonic High School) on it, gazing up at the sky as if staring at him.

"That's impossible. He should be with some old bastard in a wheelchair!"

At the same time, Professor X suddenly spoke up, "Turn around and head to New York."

Because the giant stars projected onto the black screen in the cockpit during the fifteen minutes suddenly disappeared and appeared in the Mutants's forbidden zone.

Even the brainwave-proof mind-reading devices inside the restricted area could not obscure the brilliance of these stars.

Two voices sounded behind Stryker.

"That's cool, you were able to teleport the whole group so quickly."

"We meet again?"

The ones speaking are Blink and Apocalypse.

Fan BB's ability to blink is also to open a portal, but she actually opens the portal, and others can enter before the portal disappears.

In the original future, she was killed by the Sentry through a portal that hadn't yet disappeared.

Long-distance teleportation takes a very long time.

The Psylocke was activated almost instantly, forming a protective shield that allowed only those inside the shield to be teleported over long distances, prompting her to speak up.

Apocalypse, however, recognized Stryker.

Everything inside the Pentagon was deliberately orchestrated by him.

He never imagined that he would see a dead person in this world.

"Number 00003?" Stryker blurted out instinctively when he saw Apocalypse's face.

In this world, Apocalypse, who was buried under the pyramid in a state of hibernation, was not unearthed in time. Instead, he died peacefully in his sleep, and his body was exhumed as a valuable experimental subject.

Mystique's X-Gene has been able to be activated to this extent thanks in no small part to the research results brought about by Apocalypse's corpse.

"Ah—my leg!"

Stryker's lower body was embedded in the ground, blending perfectly with it, as if it had always been that way, if one ignored the dripping sound coming from the ceiling below.

Apocalypse misses Professor X terribly; if he were here, he could read the brain of the guy who looked at him so rudely.

Instead of only being able to hack into the base network and view one-sided and unintuitive information.

How dare you—

He found the corresponding data through '00003', and after losing the force field protection, his body was disassembled into pieces.

The skin was made into boots, just as the people of this Dadi once did to the Native Americans.

Enraged, Apocalypse waved his hand.

Stryker's skin disappeared and fell to the side.

The eyeball rolled off, exposing flesh and blood to the air, emitting a chilling scream.

Even Harry could only look on with pity at this horrifying scene.

(Among the Wizarding World, only a few complained that this was too cruel.)

They all learned from Shadowcat and the others about the tragedy that had occurred on this planet because of Stryker and his crew.

Professor X, who was still on his way this way, suddenly beamed with joy, "I can see it!"

The anti-brainwave and electromagnetic wave devices around the concentration camp of Mutants and rebels seem to have lost their effectiveness.

The seven oceans, densely packed with red, Blue Silver stars, appeared before his eyes and were projected into the cockpit.

This includes New York, which they are heading to.

He could feel the joy emanating from these oceans.

"Although I don't know how it happened, the apocalypse is finally over!"

Mutants are imprisoned inside the rebels' New York base.

Amidst the sea of joy, the young Magneto grimaced unhappily.

"Leader, was I too rough?" Apocalypse looked at the base guardian who had been beheaded and split in two by him with a thin, sand-like substance, and began to think about how to be more elegant and civilized.

"None of your business." The young Magneto looked up at the night sky again. "Two losers Accio toward us."

The spacecraft wasn't just home to Magneto and Professor X.

Storm and Wolverine are also among them.

But he only had eyes for those two.

As the stronger, more advantageous side, the two leaders of the radical and conservative Mutants groups allowed humans to secretly cause trouble, leading to the current apocalypse.

What he couldn't accept most was Mystique's death.

Professor X, who possessed the [brainwave enhancement device], happened to be unaware, leading to Raven's death in the laboratory.

He knew how painful and desperate it was. He had been experimented on in Auschwitz, and it was only with the tacit approval of the Black King, who had killed his mother, that he managed to escape that hellish place.

There was clearly plenty of time during this process.

But Charles in this world did nothing.

What's even more disgusting is that Bolivar Trask realized the Mutants were also because of Charles.

This information comes from Charles's paper on Mutants published at Oxford University, which is part of the CIA.

He erased CIA agent Moira's memory, but instead of using his Level 5 clearance to delete paper records and documents, he deliberately left them behind.

Thinking about all of this, it's already a testament to Magneto to crash the spaceship carrying the older Professor X; he was being very tolerant of them.

As a result, before the four people could even be surprised by the Sentry who had changed color and was now doing manual labor in place of humans, they were drawn to the younger version of Magneto exuded a gloomy aura.

His ability is essentially the manipulation of magnetic fields. He has taken it a step further with [Compound V]. Due to his depressed mood, thunderclouds are now rolling above the base.

Storm, however, felt this was out of place in the otherwise joyous atmosphere of the base. Her eye sockets turned silver, and she used her powers to dispel the leaden clouds, causing the roaring lightning to disappear.

"Here you come, losers," the teenage Magneto said.

"What did you say?" The hot-tempered Wolverine Logan, as usual, lunged forward in anger, only to be slapped against the wall and unable to move.

The elderly Magneto, who had failed to rescue Ron by using his magnetic field abilities, frowned.

Professor X, who discovered that the younger version of Magneto wasn't wearing a helmet and had tried to use his Mind Stone abilities but failed to infiltrate the system, suffered the same fate.

None of them expected him to be so powerful.

Especially the elderly Magneto, who had been immersed in magnetic fields for decades and considered himself even stronger.

"What?" the youthful Magneto scoffed. "You think you should be stronger? What a joke. I'm the one who saved this world."

The Mutants and ordinary people inside the base heard the commotion and turned to glare at the person who dared to offend their the Chosen One.

Some even picked up the machine guns of the dead soldiers and fired them in this direction.

It was only thanks to the elderly Magneto's quick action that they were safe.

"Katy?" Storm, finally noticed her student, who had suddenly become the size of a palm. "How did you—"

Moving through the crowd to calm people down and explain that even the Sentry had been turned, Shadowcat looked up and said, "Ororo! Ahem, Professor Monroe."

"Just call me Ororo," Storm said.

With only a few X-Men members left, each one is cherished.

There is no longer a distinction between professors and students.

They're all family.

"My knight?" Apocalypse interrupted the conversation.

Storm's face has hardly changed over the years; only her hairstyle has changed, Apocalypse recognized easily.

"Who are you?" Professor X appeared in front of Apocalypse in a flying wheelchair that spewed blue flames.

Once he regained his composure, he noticed the commotion.

"I don't know you," Storm added.

"No wonder you have fallen to such a low level." Apocalypse couldn't help but reveal a hint of contempt. "You can tell from our leader that we are not from this era."

"Past, or future?" Professor X asked.

That's why there's still a future.

This explains why Magneto, who looks so young, is stronger.

As for why he looks young, it might be due to the power of a Mutants, or Magneto might have had Wolverine's X-Gene transplanted into him, just like Wade.

"Of course it's the past," Apocalypse said. "Do you think my Lord is such worthless trash as you?"

"In our world, in 1983, we promoted the mutation of all mankind, and in the process, not a single innocent person lost their life."

"We are indeed losers." Upon hearing this, the older version of Magneto said somewhat dejectedly.

At the same time, he developed some resentment towards Professor X.

He connected the mutation of all humanity with the Mutants awakening device he had developed in the past. At that time, he planned to use Rogue's abilities to activate the device and turn the high-ranking human leaders who were holding a meeting not far from the Liberty into Mutants.

But it was eventually discovered that the equipment he created was not perfect, and humans who awakened the Mutant Gene would die from genetic collapse.

He was eventually imprisoned.

Professor X ignored the instrument and never thought of further modifying or perfecting it.

Although this was also due to the subsequent appearance of the [antidote] that weakened and suppressed Mutants genes, and the influence of Phoenix's ability to go out of control Carnage the entire island's Mutants and human army, he still found it somewhat unacceptable.

He was just a hair's breadth away from success.
