Logan's eyes widened in disbelief. "What secret?"
"A secret about the ssiah-one that might help you, as well as Professor X and Magneto," Chris said with a sly smile.
As a mber of the X-n, Chris naturally knew more than the average student at the academy, including Logan's arrival from a dystopian future where Sentinels were about to wipe out Professor X, Magneto, and the remaining mutants.
Hearing this, Logan's curiosity grew. "The ssiah's secret? Sothing that helps both Professor X and Magneto?"
He was utterly perplexed. What kind of secret could the ssiah possibly have?
Chris grinned. "As long as you promise not to tell the professor or Magneto, I'll share it with you."
Logan's curiosity gnawed at him like a persistent itch. Unable to resist, he quickly assured, "Alright, I promise! I won't tell anyone. Just spill it."
Chris nodded, then leaned in and whispered, "The ssiah is actually the child of Professor X and Magneto."
Logan froze, his mind reeling. Had he misheard? How could sothing so absurd be true? "The ssiah is their child?" Logan stamred. "Are we talking about that kind of child?" "Keep your voice down!" Chris warned, nodding solemnly. "Yes, exactly that kind of child." "The ssiah carries DNA from both Professor X and Magneto," Chris explained, recounting his discovery of confidential reports detailing the ssiah's genetic origins.
Logan's brain buzzed, completely overwheld. Not even his journey to this parallel world had shocked him as much as this revelation.
The ssiah-a genetically confird child of Professor X and Magneto?
Logan stood there, utterly stunned. The thought rendered his mind blank.
Looking back, Logan had always found their relationship strange-enemies, yet not quite. Despite their ideological conflicts, they would always co to each other's aid in tis of danger.
Now, with this new information, everything seed to fall into place.
"You're not ssing with ?" Logan asked, his voice trembling with disbelief.
Chris nodded earnestly. "Why would I lie about this? It's true. And even Magneto and
Professor X themselves don't know!"
Logan scrutinized Chris's face for any hint of deceit but found none. Chris's serious deanor made it clear he wasn't joking.
So it was true-Professor X and Magneto had a child together.
Logan's jaw dropped.
He couldn't say whether Professor X or Magneto here knew about this, but if the future versions of those two old n ever learned of it, their reactions would undoubtedly be priceless.
His face turned red as he tried to suppress his astonishnt. This secret was just too monuntal to keep. He couldn't help but admire Chris for managing to hold onto it for so long.
Chris leaned closer again, whispering, "Rember, don't breathe a word of this to anyone- especially not Professor X or Magneto."
Logan nodded instinctively, still dazed.
Seeing this, Chris relaxed slightly. "Good. Now you see why the ssiah will probably help you. With that kind of connection, you have nothing to worry about!"
"With the ssiah on your side, everything will work out!"
Logan's hesitation lingered.
While he felt sowhat reassured about the ssiah's willingness to help, doubts about the ssiah's ability to deal with the countless Sentinels remained.
The Sentinel robots weren't ordinary threats. Even Oga-level mutants might struggle, especially if the robots could replicate their powers.
Even if the ssiah could destroy so Sentinels, how could he take on the entire swarm? At so point, sheer numbers might overwhelm even him.
Logan sighed, troubled. "Well, this is all I've got for now. If there are any issues, I'll discuss them with the professor later."
Even if the ssiah couldn't eliminate all the Sentinels, his intervention could still improve their dire situation.
With that, Logan turned his attention to finding the ssiah.
As for the White Knight, he pushed that search aside for the mont.
While Logan wrestled with his worries, Syd was out in the desert, practicing his Sunshine ability.
[ 1 Sunshine experience]
After half an hour of training, Syd's instincts suddenly scread danger.
Without hesitation, he pulled out the Space Stone and activated it.
A flash of blue light rippled through the air as space shifted. In the blink of an eye, Syd
vanished from the desert, reappearing in a secluded urban alleyway.
As soon as he arrived, he let out a sigh of relief. The sense of impending danger dissipated.
"Syd, what just happened?"
Venom erged from his arm, its face filled with confusion and lingering fear. Clearly, it had sensed the danger as well.
"I don't know," Syd replied, shaking his head.
He paused, lost in thought, before an idea began to form.
It was likely another attempt by the Arican military.
Currently, the only thing on Earth capable of harming his divine body was a nuclear strike- and not just any single missile, but an overwhelming barrage.
Rumors claid that the United States had stockpiled thousands of nuclear warheads, enough to ignite global devastation.
If they detonated hundreds or even thousands of them simultaneously near him... Syd didn't even want to imagine the result.
The sheer impact would likely fracture the North Arican tectonic plate, triggering massive earthquakes.
"Clearly, hanging around empty deserts isn't the best idea," Syd muttered, shaking his head.
While he'd long known the military's ruthlessness, their audacity still surprised him.
As for how they tracked him, he wasn't shocked. So mutants had abilities akin to hyper- sensitive bloodhounds, capable of sniffing out molecular traces.
"Staying in populated cities should deter the military from making reckless moves for now,"
Syd mused.
At least until they developed a counterasure against spatial teleportation, they would
likely hold back.
"When Sunshine reaches level five..."
Syd's gaze turned cold.
By then, the military would learn the true aning of consequences.
With that thought, Syd stepped into a sunny corner of the alley and resud his training.
Ti passed swiftly, and soon, it was the following afternoon.
