After a mont of thought, Syd shook his head.
"Forget it. Logan and his group can deal with it after this."
With that, he turned toward Logan and the others, who were still standing there, stunned and bewildered.
He spoke slowly, "The Mutant Eden you're looking for doesn't exist, but I've altered xico. Now, technological weapons can't function here, and the probability of mutants being born has greatly increased."
"If you want, you can stay here."
Before they could even respond, Syd's figure flashed, and he flew away, heading deeper into xico.
Watching him disappear, Logan and the others exchanged looks, still struggling to comprehend what the Oga mutant had just told them.
No technological weapons?
A high probability of mutant births?
Still confused, they set off toward xico to see for themselves.
...
anwhile, Across xico and Beyond
Ordinary citizens within xico and those outside its borders were beginning to investigate the strange changes taking place.
Five hours passed.
By then, they had more or less figured out the nature of xico's transformation.
...
At the xican Border, Outside the Barrier
"This is terrifying. The entire country is covered by this barrier."
A middle-aged man held a remote control, piloting a drone toward the boundary.
The mont the drone passed through the eerie rippling barrier, it vanished—its connection lost.
Or rather, its signal was completely cut off.
Angus, watching this, frowned grimly.
They had already sent people inside to investigate, but without exception, every single one of them lost their mories upon entry. They forgot why they had entered in the first place and simply assud they were ordinary xican citizens.
Thankfully, a few individuals had brought notes or reminders with them. Only after attempting to communicate with the outside world did they realize what had happened.
This discovery sent chills down the spines of world leaders.
It was one thing to alter matter—but to change people's mories?
What kind of horrifying ability was this?
...
Inside xico
Within the sealed-off country, ordinary citizens had not suffered the sa mory issues as outsiders.
But by now, they were well aware that sothing profound had changed.
For example, guns and other technological weapons no longer functioned.
More shockingly...
Rumors were spreading—people were awakening mutant abilities!
If it had been a single isolated case, it could have been dismissed. But when it kept happening?
Disbelief spread like wildfire.
No new mutants had appeared in over twenty years. If the white-cloaked Oga mutant was an anomaly, then what about the rest of them?
It didn't take long for people to make the connection.
"This must be his doing!"
"He can even influence the birth of mutants?"
Syd, now flying over xico, observed his handiwork.
"It worked..."
"As long as my power doesn't run out, this state will remain."
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
With everything settled, it was ti for him to leave.
After all, this was just a brief excursion.
He hadn't forgotten the threats still looming over him—the Celestial Host, the true form of the Dark Gods, the Ti Variance Authority, and even the cosmic entity Eternity.
At any mont, they could beco a problem.
But before leaving, he decided to check in on the old Professor X.
With a thought, the space around him fluctuated.
The next second, he used spatial teleportation and appeared in front of Professor X and Caliban.
As soon as Syd arrived, he noticed sothing unusual and raised an eyebrow.
A powerful psychic wave was radiating outward, growing stronger by the second.
Inside the small house, Caliban was trembling uncontrollably, his face filled with terror. His body was completely out of his control.
Syd's gaze shifted to the elderly Professor X.
The old man sat slumped in his wheelchair, his mouth open, eyes unfocused—clearly in a severe ntal episode.
It was obvious.
Professor X's powers had spiraled out of control.
At this mont, his psychic energy was expanding, attempting to invade Syd's mind.
But to Syd, who possessed an array of ntal defenses, Xavier's abilities were laughably ineffective.
In fact...
Syd smirked.
With a single thought, a terrifying psychic force erupted from his mind, surging toward Xavier.
Instantly, Xavier's uncontrolled powers were completely suppressed and forcibly guided back into stability.
Within seconds, his episode ceased.
Caliban, utterly exhausted, collapsed onto the ground and muttered, "My God..."
Every ti Xavier lost control, it felt like a near-death experience for him.
"But why did it stop so quickly this ti?"
Normally, it would take several more minutes before Xavier's powers stabilized, but this ti it ended almost imdiately.
Caliban frowned in confusion.
Then, his eyes landed on sothing—
The white-cloaked mutant.
It was him?
Why was he here?
Before Caliban could ask, a shocked Professor X spoke first.
"You... used psychic power to wake ?"
He murmured in disbelief, "Such trendous psychic energy... I couldn't even resist it... I've never encountered anything like this before..."
Caliban's mind went blank.
Wait—what?!
Xavier had recovered quickly because this white-cloaked mutant used psychic powers?
And Xavier said... this man's ntal abilities surpassed his own?
How terrifying was that?
To possess psychic abilities even stronger than Professor X's...
The man known as the world's greatest telepath was inferior to him?
Caliban couldn't believe it.
More than that—this guy also had psychic abilities?
He wasn't just powerful physically.
He wasn't just a mutant with reality-warping powers.
He could control minds too?
"...Like a god, with no weaknesses?"
The more he learned, the more terrifying Syd beca in Caliban's mind.
Ignoring Xavier's words, Syd scanned the area.
A mont later, he sensed the Venom symbiote fragnt.
It was locked inside a small box a few ters away.
Clearly, Xavier and Caliban had feared it and didn't dare keep it close.
Shaking his head, Syd extended his right hand, summoning a crimson glow.
In an instant, Chaos Magic lifted the symbiote from the box and floated it toward Xavier.
Before either of them could react, the symbiote rged into Xavier's chest, sinking into his body and disappearing.
Xavier gasped as he felt his body changing.
His eyes widened in shock.
"What... what's happening to my body?!"
