Chapter 394

"Isn't that serious enough?"

Whether it was serious or not, Storm understood the implication in Su Quan's words: she and Jean were in his grasp.

What is the hardest thing for them to accept?

It wasn't that Su Quan was shameless for dragging two people along, nor was it an awkward situation between them. Rather, it was that they had let down the professors' care and guidance and left the academy that needed their protection!

Su Quan addressed their biggest concerns and worries by taking decisive action.

Storm looked at Su Quan with a smile in her eyes, "If you want me to follow you wholeheartedly, then conquer me and let me know that I can't live without you."

Su Quan raised an eyebrow. "I accept the challenge."

"Then... see you tonight?"

See you tonight!

The next day, early morning.

A thin mist drifted slowly through the gaps in the trees, and the rising sun bathed the branches of the trees in a golden glow...

You stand on the bridge admiring the scenery, while someone else admires you from a building!

Su Quan stood at the window gazing at the scenery outside when a pair of hands reached under his ribs and hugged him from behind.

"You're awake." Su Quan said with a smile, holding her hand.

Storm, pressed against Su Quan's back, hummed in agreement with a nasal tone and said lazily, "Where is this?"

Last night, Su Quan left the academy with Storm.

She didn't know exactly where it was.

Su Quan said with a smile, "This is a complicated question. If you had asked me ten minutes ago, I would have told you that this is a suite in a hotel in New York."

Storm looked out the window at the level grass and forest. Was this a New York hotel?

"And now?"

"Right now, the indoor and outdoor areas are two different locations. The indoor area is still a suite in a New York hotel, while the outdoor area is some unknown suburb. The only building nearby is a rehabilitation center, or you could say a sanatorium, owned by the Essex Corporation."

Storm paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything special about this place?"

She was stunned not because she didn't understand why the indoor and outdoor areas were different locations, but because she felt that Su Quan wouldn't have chosen this place without a reason.

Essex Corporation... the name sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it.

Su Quan turned his head to look at her and said with a smile, "Do you remember the Void I told you about last night?"

"The end of the timeline, that's your territory, and you are the great Lord of the Void," Storm said sarcastically.

Naughty!

Su Quan patted her hand and continued, "There's a Mutants in the Void that I captured from this sanatorium. Her name is Magik, and her real name is Liana Rasputin."

"Rasputin?" Storm released Su Quan and came to his side, saying thoughtfully, "Colossus's name is Rasputin, Peter Rasputin!"

Su Quan nodded. "She is Colossus's sister."

Storm frowned. "That's not right, Colossus shouldn't have a sister. We investigated when he enrolled, unless..."

Colossus doesn't have a sister, but Su Quan says that this Magik is Colossus's sister, so there's only one truth.

"Is this not our world?"

Storm was right; this was indeed not her world, but the world of the New Mutants.

This is Su Quan's second time stepping into this world. The first time was when he brought Magik Illyana Rasputin to the Void to participate in the first Void Brawl Arena.

Because he did not win the Champion, he remained in the Void.

In fact, the Void Brawl Arena only lasted one season before losing its original purpose and meaning. If there is an opportunity in the future, it could be continued in a different way, after all, it was the first all-people event in the history of Void.

"Because of the different timelines, the X-Mansion and the Brotherhood of Mutants in this world have become history, and most of the Mutants you know are no longer around."

"The situation of Mutants in this world is not bad. Although some people still avoid them like the plague and some harbor malice, overall it is much better than the other world I know. At least they are not being captured in large numbers."

"The Essex Corporation I just mentioned is the group that harbors ill will towards Mutants. This company belongs to a man named Nathaniel Essex, who is also a Mutants."

Nathaniel Essex, codenamed Mr. Sinister, is a villain who appears in almost every Mutants world and timeline, and many events are related to him!

Storm frowned, hesitating before saying, "He's Mutants too, so why is he being so hostile towards Mutants..."

"That's normal. Some people want to live a peaceful life, while others are ambitious and want to conquer the world! For example, Magneto. If anyone blocks his path or affects his core interests, he will show no mercy, even if the other party is Mutants."

"In the 19th century of this world, Darwin published his theory of evolution, Nathaniel Essex also published a more radical theory of evolution, believing that a large number of Mutants would appear on Earth in the near future, which was unanimously refuted by the academic community."

"He dedicated himself to the pursuit of knowledge and scientific research until he encountered the even older Mutants Apocalypse, which granted him an extraordinary lifespan!"

"After that, he betrayed Apocalypse and began relentlessly researching genetic and cloning technologies, becoming the multi-talented Mr. Sinister!"

"At the same time, the Essex Corporation he founded has become a powerful capital group after years of development. It searches everywhere for newly awakened Mutants, using sanatoriums as a pretext to ostensibly help Mutants familiarize themselves with their abilities, but in reality, it secretly obtains their genes and trains them to become assassins!"

Storm was consumed by rage, trembling with fury. "How could he do this! That bastard... I will never let him get away with this! Where is he?"

"He has extensive research in genetics and cloning. Putting aside whether you can beat him, even if you could... how can you guarantee that you're killing the real person, the true him?"

Unlike villains like Magneto and Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister is a master of escapism. He rarely takes action himself and has countless clones hidden all over the world.

For a scientist like him, there is no difference between the original and the clone. They have the same genes, the same abilities, and the same memories. If the original dies, the clone becomes the original.

Completely eliminating him would be extremely difficult and challenging!

Storm said sullenly, "Then what can we do? Are we just going to let him persecute the Mutants of this world?"

Storm didn't ask Su Quan if he could kill Mr. Sinister. She knew that if Su Quan wanted to, he definitely could, and if he didn't want to, she couldn't very well ask him to do so, since he also had his own stance and purpose.

Su Quan is not the kind of person who assumes that with With great power comes great responsibility.

"Magik was previously held in a nearby sanatorium, where there were several other Mutants also held captive: Wolfsbane, Cannonball, Sunspot, and Moonstar."

"In addition, Cecilia Reyes, the director and doctor of the sanatorium, is also Mutants. She can create an invisible Energy Field, which is why those Mutants cannot escape."

Storm asked, "Your target is those young Mutants in the sanatorium? No, wait, your target is only the female Mutants, right?"

It has to be said that Storm knows Su Quan very well; his target really is the female Mutants in the sanatorium!

Magik with her long legs and black stockings, the female Mutants in the film include Wolfsbane, Moonstar, and Doctor Reyes.

Wolfsbane can transform into several different werewolf forms. In each form, she gains enhanced hearing, vision, and smell, animal-like strength, agility, and reflexes, sharp claws and fangs, and bestial instincts.

Doctor Reyes's ability is relatively simple: to release an invisible Energy Field. In addition to defending herself and others, she can also crush targets by controlling the size of the field, or drain the air from the field, causing targets to suffocate, fall into a coma, or die!

Moonstar... she's special!

If you were to ask who the most beautiful and charming female Mutants in the sanatorium is, the answer would undoubtedly be Magik in tattered black stockings!

But if you ask who has the strongest ability and the greatest potential, it's definitely Yuexing!

Moonstar can create mental illusions and materialize them. The boss they fought together in the movie, the Demon Bear, was manifested by her!

If she can control her abilities and further enhance them through reinforcement, that would be quite terrifying.

In addition, she can communicate with animals and generate Starlight energy, which Starlight can shape into various forms, most commonly arrows. When these arrows hit their targets, they cause the targets to have a violent mental reaction and lose their ability to move.

If Su Quan were to obtain this ability, with his Psychic Power, wouldn't he be able to materialize anything he wanted, essentially becoming a human-shaped Reality Stone?

Besides their people and abilities, Su Quan had another purpose, which was related to Mr. Sinister!

Mr. Sinister is involved in genetics and cloning; these are quite advanced technologies, especially the latter...

He cloned many people, the most famous of whom was the Red Queen, Madelyn Pryor, one of the three queens that Su Quan had always wanted to collect!

She is a clone of Jean Grey.

Mr. Sinister arranged for her to marry Cyclops, and they had a son whose codename was Cable.

Yes, it's Deadpool's other best buddy!

Su Quan was eager to know if the Mr. Sinister. of this world had cloned the Red Queen. If so, then was the Red Queen who obtained one of the three great powers —the Goblin Force —she?

Of the three empresses and three powerful figures, Su Quan has already obtained two of them. He is missing one, so it's not perfect!

Storm thought Su Quan would either storm in directly or use his Spatial Ability to stealthily take the Mutants from the sanatorium.

After all, the person in charge named Doctor Reyes and the Energy Field were, in his eyes, nothing at all!

However... Su Quan took an unconventional approach and actually planned to infiltrate the sanatorium to gradually make his move.

Should we proceed gradually?

What's the point of taking things slowly with such a sanatorium that's practically useless?

Isn't it just about getting in first, becoming familiar with them, and ideally getting them to follow you wholeheartedly and willingly?

Do you think I don't know your tricks?

Others say, "Forced love is never sweet, but it quenches thirst!"

You're something else, unwilling to force things, but you want it sweet and thirst-quenching!

You need a person!
