Magneto's eager gaze settled firmly on Li Ge's face.
As the leader of a faction, and as someone who had spent a lifetime loving and fighting the Professor, he was also a man of considerable intelligence.
Even without an explanation, the Professor and the others' reactions confirmed the truth of Li Ge's words for him.
"Li Ge, it seems I still underestimated your power!"
"You truly are the savior of mutants, through and through!"
"But could you let me see the reason for your confidence?"
For something this important, something that could determine the fate of mutants, Magneto wanted to see solid proof, no matter how excited he was.
This was an excellent quality that a competent leader ought to possess.
Li Ge did not mind Magneto's thinking. He also wanted to put their minds at ease.
After all, even once he had created the world, he would still need them to build it up. He had no desire to be an all-purpose nanny.
"Professor, there's something I haven't told you. My Minecraft world has actually been fully manifested."
"You should know, my redstone is no pushover. I used all that energy to perfect my Minecraft world."
Seeing the Professor's expression suddenly relax, Li Ge gave him another piece of good news.
He used Telekinesis to float into the air and looked around. Everyone present looked up at him, anticipation in their eyes.
"Everyone, I'll be taking you into my world in a moment.
"But some of the rules inside are a little unusual. Once we're in there, don't panic, no matter what happens."
Li Ge gave them a warning first, lest they start shouting and making a fuss later.
Then, with a thought, he activated his ability to store and retrieve items. A strange ripple swept over everyone, and the conference room instantly became empty.
"Professor, I heard that old guy who likes playing with iron came over. Is he here to cause trouble?!"
"Huh? Where did everyone go?"
Wolverine had originally been keeping the little delinquent Cassie company in the underground base.
Thinking that Magneto, who had always had him at his mercy, should already have been taught a lesson,
he could not resist coming to have a laugh at his expense.
After thoroughly soothing Cassie and saying hello to Phoenix, he had hurried eagerly to the conference room.
He had not expected to find no one here.
Looking around and unable to figure out why, Wolverine could only silently regret missing the sight of Magneto in a sorry state.
Remembering Cassie's fiery passion, he stopped dwelling on it and strode toward the base.
The Professor and the others felt their vision wobble, as though they had passed through a distorted curtain of light, before everything suddenly brightened before their eyes.
A world of distinct colors appeared before them, as though a painter had carefully applied the paint in even strokes.
The ground was flat and open, and the flowers and grasses had distinct colors and brimmed with life.
The trees were straight and square, with lush branches and leaves, growing here and there among the flowers and grass.
There were also cows, sheep, pigs, horses, and other animals wandering leisurely about, occasionally lowering their heads to graze.
Spotless white clouds floated overhead, and a bright, gentle sun radiated warm light.
Yet all these things looked angular and square, as though they were entirely made of blocks.
Just then, Shadowcat suddenly cried out.
"Oh my God! God! How did I end up looking like this?"
The Professor and the others all whipped their heads toward Shadowcat.
With that movement, they immediately noticed that something was also wrong with their own bodies and those of the others.
They seemed a little... square?
When Shadowcat came into view, they immediately understood the changes to their bodies.
A figure with square hands, square feet, and a square head, whose entire body appeared to be made of blocks, was constantly stretching her arms and legs.
She kept feeling around her body, running and jumping about as she shouted.
They could still clearly recognize Shadowcat's features on her face.
They immediately remembered Li Ge's earlier warning-the rules in this world were a little unusual.
Thinking back to what they had just seen, along with the changes to their bodies, it seemed that everything in this world was made of blocks.
"Li Ge, this is...?"
The Professor raised his square hand and looked at the equally square Li Ge.
Magneto said nothing. Even the changes to his body had only surprised him for an instant.
Together with the others, he looked around, examining the details of this world.
At the same time, he paid attention to Li Ge's conversation with the Professor.
"This is a basic rule I designed for this world: everything is made of blocks.
"Don't worry! We can change back."
This was also Li Ge's first time entering his own world. Before this, he had always entered with his consciousness.
Now that he had entered with his own body, the feeling of having a square body was quite peculiar.
"Oh, right, Professor. I also added a lot of wonderful rules to this world-or features, you could say. There's one feature I think you absolutely need to try!"
Looking at the Professor, who was still sitting in a blocky wheelchair even after becoming a block person, Li Ge felt he ought to help him.
Li Ge's words not only caught the Professor's attention but drew everyone else's attention as well.
The fact that Li Ge could create a world had already left them at a loss as to how to think about it.
Now, hearing him imply that this world held many more wonders, their curiosity was immediately piqued.
As the master of this world, Li Ge could freely control everything inside it.
But he felt that taking shortcuts for everything would rob life of much of its fun.
He decided to take them along to properly experience the wonders of this world.
"Kitty, stop studying the grass over there. I'll take you to do something fun."
Li Ge led Kitty to a blocky oak tree, and the others followed curiously.
They watched as Li Ge raised his right hand and lightly punched the trunk. Cracks immediately appeared on it.
With a soft sound, a tiny block appeared where that section of trunk had been, floating and spinning quietly.
Strangely, the oak tree remained standing motionless despite missing a section of its trunk.
"What is this...?"
Shadowcat's eyes widened as she looked at Li Ge in surprise.
"You can collect everything in this world this way."
Li Ge smiled and offered a casual explanation without stopping his hands.
Magneto became interested and imitated Li Ge's movements, finding a tree and starting to punch it.
Cyclops pushed the Professor's wheelchair behind Storm and Beast, approaching Li Ge as well.
Li Ge kept working, stopping only after he had collected enough wood.
Without hesitation, he opened the panel with a thought and used the wood to make a crafting table.
