Professor X's face was filled with shock.
At this mont, he actually felt sensation in his legs?
Instinctively, he moved his right leg, placing his foot on the ground.
At first, he staggered, unaccustod to the motion. He steadied himself by holding onto his wheelchair, adapting to the new feeling. After a few more steps, he gradually got used to it.
Though his gait was still a little unsteady, with so ti, he was sure he could adjust to walking normally again.
Caliban, standing to the side, was completely stunned.
Charles' legs... had recovered?
What was going on?
"Was it because of that thing just now?"
Caliban's face was filled with bewildernt.
At the sa ti, aside from feeling his legs restored, Professor X also felt a lightness throughout his body, as if he had regained his youth.
Syd, who was watching from the side, showed no sign of surprise at this scene.
With the abilities of the Venom symbiote, healing Professor X's body and allowing him to walk again was no problem at all.
Not to ntion, the symbiote attached to Professor X had been greatly enhanced—far superior to a normal symbiote.
Syd even suspected that, relying on the energy stored within the Venom symbiote, Professor X might live many more years beyond his expected lifespan.
Looking at the utterly shocked Professor X, Syd spoke first before the latter could voice his confusion.
"What I gave you is called a symbiote. Besides healing your injuries, it also grants abilities like danger perception," Syd explained.
"As for the specifics, you'll have to figure them out yourself."
After saying this, Syd paused for a mont. Looking at Professor X, he then said in a deep voice, "Goodbye. I wish you and Logan the best of luck."
Hearing this, and realizing that Syd was about to leave, Professor X—still full of shock and unanswered questions—hurriedly asked,
"Child, did your mutant abilities awaken recently?"
"Why have I never heard of you before?"
"Can you tell where you live? If possible, may I visit you?"
Syd naturally understood what he ant.
After considering for a mont, since he was about to leave this place anyway, he figured there was no harm in revealing so information.
"I'm not from your world. I co from a different tiline," Syd said calmly.
"You could also call it another universe—you can refer to it as Earth-616."
"As for why you've never heard of before, it's simple. I don't exist in this universe."
Hearing his words, Professor X and Caliban exchanged looks of disbelief.
A different tiline?
Another universe?
This origin was far beyond what they had expected.
Their first instinct was to doubt him, but after analyzing the information carefully, they realized Syd had no reason to lie.
In fact, it explained why he had appeared so suddenly.
Even so, the concept was still mind-boggling.
A person from another tiline, another universe, had co to their world?
Moreover, there was an Oga-level mutant in this so-called Earth-616?
The more they thought about it, the more intrigued they beca.
They were even tempted to visit Earth-616 and see it for themselves.
At this mont, Syd glanced at the stunned Professor X, then took out his Ti Controller, opening a glowing yellow portal.
"Good luck to both of you."
With those parting words, he stepped through the yellow portal. In the next instant, the portal swiftly closed, leaving behind a dumbfounded Professor X and Caliban.
...
Earth-616
Syd erged from the yellow portal.
He glanced at the now-closed portal and then at the Ti Controller in his hand, curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"I wonder how many more tis I can use this thing?"
Besides, he had another bold idea.
For instance, what if he used the Ti Controller to travel back to a ti when he had existed?
What would happen if he t his past self?
After pondering for a while, Syd shook his head.
"Better not take that kind of risk."
If two versions of himself t, there was no telling what might happen. One of them could disappear entirely. At the very least, the tiline would definitely split, creating another parallel universe.
"Of course, there's also a possibility that I never existed in the past of this tiline," Syd muttered.
After all, when he had studied the Darkhold before, he had discovered that no parallel versions of himself existed.
Of course, his forr self—Kevin—should still be traceable.
Finishing these thoughts, Syd casually poured all the energy points he had accumulated over ti into Baldur's unlocking progress.
In the next mont, the progress bar flickered.
(Unlocking Progress: 99%)
[Energy Points: 0]
"Still 1% short..." Syd frowned slightly.
Was he stuck?
What was the reason?
He had wanted to see what would happen once Baldur's progress reached 100%, but now the final 1% seed so difficult to obtain.
"Whatever, I'm close..."
After a mont of anticipation, Syd shifted his attention to his Avatar of Light ability.
[Ability: Avatar of Light (641/2000) Level 4]
"Still a little more to go."
...
Elsewhere—The Ti Variance Authority
At the sa ti, the Ti Variance Authority (TVA) was taking action.
Earlier, Mobius and the others had reported the ti criminal's existence to the three Ti Keepers.
In response, the Ti Keepers gave them a direct order: capture this ti criminal at all costs.
Inside a grand hall...
"Sigh, this is a tough one. How do we deal with this ti offender?"
A middle-aged man in a gray top and yellow pants—Casey—rubbed his temples in distress.
Not just him, but everyone in the hall looked equally troubled.
The Ti Keepers had assigned them a mission, but none of them had a viable way to deal with this criminal.
How were they supposed to handle soone capable of killing Celestials?
Fight him head-on? With what?
Various murmurs filled the hall.
"Co on, think of sothing!"
"What can we do? That ti offender is too powerful!"
"Unless he walks into our headquarters, we don't stand a chance!"
Despite their complaints, the Ti Keepers' orders had to be followed.
Soon, a thirty-sothing man nad Bertrand hesitated before suggesting,
"How about checking the alternate tilines?"
"Hmm? What do you an?"
Everyone turned their questioning gazes toward him.
Bertrand explained, "We can't handle this ti criminal, but he can handle himself!"
"We should find a variant of him from another tiline and have them fight each other!"
As soon as he said this, the entire hall lit up with realization.
Using one version of the criminal to fight another?
Let them tear each other apart?
This could work!
Agent Mobius' eyes also lit up.
However, he had a nagging feeling that sothing was off—like he had forgotten sothing important.
But at this mont, he pushed aside his doubts.
Since they now had a thod to take down the mutant, it was ti to act.
A detailed plan was quickly put into motion, outlining how they would lure one variant of the criminal to fight another.
Soon, four TVA agents, clad in black uniforms and ard with ti weapons, stepped through a yellow ti portal, traveling to another tiline.
Year 2012
"Hurry! We need to locate the ti criminal in this tiline!"
The four agents quickly got to work.
However, within monts, confusion spread across their faces.
They were completely dumbfounded.
