Chapter 480
Charles's reaction made Erik feel that something was wrong.
Well, after so many years of not seeing each other after parting ways, it's normal for us to argue, curse, or try to persuade and comfort each other when we finally meet.
However, making fun of someone as if they're watching themselves make a fool of themselves is inappropriate.
Even if I were defeated by Lorna, it wouldn't be a joke or a spectacle, would it?
And what did he mean by saying that it wasn't shameful for him to lose to Lorna?
Could this Lorna have some special identity, and is she related to me?
Erik glanced at Lorna instinctively and found Lorna looking at him with a gaze he couldn't understand.
That gaze contained disappointment, anger, and resentment—
In the end, it all turned into a sense of relief.
"My name is Lorna Dane. I was adopted and raised by my aunt when I was a child. My father's name is... Magneto!"
As Polaris looked at Erik, she pulled the dark purple metal piece in her hand into a uniquely shaped headband.
"Master, could you please change the color for me?" Polaris looked at Su Quan and smiled sweetly.
For Su Quan, who could Reality Warping, such a trivial matter was merely a thought.
In the blink of an eye, the headband turned green without warning and was then put on Polaris's head.
"Impossible... This is impossible... You're saying your father is Magneto? I... I have absolutely no recollection of him!"
Your father is Magneto?
Am I your father?
Are you my daughter?
Erik was stunned, completely stunned.
Judging from your age, you should have been in prison before I went to jail, right?
If you were my daughter, how could I not know? How could I have entrusted you to your aunt for adoption?
But Charles wouldn't joke like that, and Su Quan wouldn't treat it as a prank. Their reactions clearly indicated that they were certain Lorna was their daughter.
That's why Su Quan suddenly brought them to see him, and that's why Charles said it wasn't shameful for him to lose to Lorna!
Most importantly, it's Lorna's ability.
He hadn't thought much about it before, since Su Quan had the same ability, and having another Lorna wasn't impossible.
But now...
Isn't that just genetics?
Lorna inherited her abilities!
Erik found it absurd that a daughter he had no recollection of suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but amidst the absurdity, he began to believe it.
After all, there's so much evidence here, and he's not exactly a chaste and innocent man. It's possible that he really has a daughter he doesn't know about, right?
"You... you're really my daughter?" Erik asked, somewhat at a loss.
"No."
Polaris shook his head.
"No, it's not?!?"
Erik was getting impatient. "Didn't you say your father was Magneto? I am Magneto, so how can you say you're not my daughter?"
"My father is Magneto, that's true, but not you, it's another Magneto!"
I am Magneto.
Your father is Magneto.
But your father isn't me, he's another Magneto?
Erik was completely bewildered by this complicated relationship.
What is all this nonsense?
He doesn't believe there's another Magneto in this world, nor does he allow anyone to use the name Magneto.
There's only one Magneto, and that's him!
Erik frowned and said coldly, "I need an explanation. What exactly is going on? Is she... my daughter?!"
"You could say it is, or you could say it isn't."
Su Quan explained the concepts of Parallel Universe and Doppelganger, leaving Erik completely bewildered.
It's not that he's slow to react or can't accept new things; it's just that the world is changing too fast. He's only been in prison for a little over ten years, and Parallel World and Doppelganger have already appeared.
However, this explanation clarified what Polaris was saying.
"Are you Magneto Parallel Universe, the daughter of my Doppelganger?" Erik asked Polaris.
Polaris hummed in agreement.
Erik's feelings were complicated. Although it was indeed absurd when he first heard that Polaris was his daughter, she was still his daughter after all, and he was very happy and excited.
But now he's being told it's another daughter of his, leaving him unsure how to feel. He can only describe it as a mix of emotions, a sense of uncertainty and uncertainty.
Su Quan patted Erik on the shoulder. "Your daughter is gone, but do you want a son? I guarantee he'll be your biological son."
This time, not only Erik was stunned, but Professor Charles and Polaris were also stunned!
Erik: I have a biological son?
Professor Charles: He also has a biological son?
Polaris: I also have a younger brother?
Erik looked at Su Quan nervously. "Are you kidding me? Is he really... really my biological son?"
He emphasized the words "biological child" very heavily!
Su Quan smiled and affirmed, "I'm not kidding you, he really is your biological son."
Erik exclaimed excitedly, "Where is he? What's his name?!"
"Come with me, and I'll take you away from here so you and your son can be reunited," Su Quan said with a smile, changing the subject.
In this world, Magneto is unlikely to become one of the leaders of Mutants like Magneto in other worlds.
He had no underlings, no achievements, and spent more than ten years in prison.
Neither his personal reputation nor the fact that the Brotherhood of Mutants of Mutants was established and quickly became defunct were enough to establish his illustrious name.
The strongest forces in the Mutants community right now are the Void Island, followed by Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and the Hellfire Club. Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants no longer have the chance to grow stronger and achieve new glory.
Most importantly, his experiences in the first half of his life prevented him from developing an invincible ambition like in the original story.
Magneto is just a powerful Mutants at best. There's nothing shameful about him following the powerful and influential Su Quan!
Erik himself didn't feel embarrassed about Su Quan's recruitment, after all, Su Quan's strength and status had always been extraordinary since they first met.
"Good."
"From this day forward, I will follow you."
Erik accepted the offer. On the one hand, given Su Quan's strength and status, following him was not shameful and would not hurt his pride.
If you tried replacing him with Professor Charles, even if he were at his wit's end, Erik wouldn't accept it.
On the other hand, he had had enough of being here and didn't want to waste his life any longer. He wanted to see his son!
Su Quan was very satisfied with Erik's decisiveness. If he had hesitated and dawdled, well—although he wouldn't hide the news about Quicksilver, Erik would never have been able to leave this place in his lifetime.
I gave you a chance, and you refused. Do you really expect me not to be angry?
"Smack!"
The Snap ended.
As time and space change, the seasons shift and the world transforms.
Erik felt as if he had only blinked once, and he found himself in front of an apartment building, having traveled from the Pentagon's supposedly most heavily guarded underground prison.
He looked at Su Quan in amazement. This kind of method, which came out of nowhere, was truly unpredictable and impossible to guard against!
"Bang!"
Su Quan had a slight thought, and the door opened by itself instantly.
The moment the door opened, a silver-haired boy appeared before them in a flash. From his perspective, time seemed to flow so slowly it was almost frozen.
He frowned as he sized up the group, leisurely examining the wallet he had found on Professor Charles to confirm their identities.
At the same time, he curiously sized up Erik was dressed in prison clothes.
"Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters?" Quicksilver glanced at Professor Charles with some surprise as he looked at the business card in his wallet, then approached Su Quan.
There were four people in total. Professor Charles had finished reading his, Erik was wearing a prison uniform and couldn't pretend to be anything, Polaris was a woman, so he couldn't make a move on her. Therefore, the second target could only be Su Quan.
As soon as Quicksilver arrived in front of Su Quan, he was startled to find Su Quan looking at him with a smile on his face.
