Chapter 457

Storm trembled slightly, lowered her head to tuck her white hair behind her ear, and with a performance that anyone could see was fake, deliberately changed the subject: "You haven't answered me yet, what were you doing just now."

Su Quan smiled and explained casually: "I was trying to overlap the space of another timeline with the space of this timeline. The effect is not bad. The person you saw is a mutant from another timeline, Angel Salvadore."

Storm said in surprise: "What are you trying to do? Merge two timelines? Do you know how dangerous this is, do you know what kind of changes and disasters it will trigger? You..."

"Shut up!"

Su Quan rolled his eyes at her, directly invaded her psychic system, and closed her language function.

Storm opened her mouth repeatedly, but no sound came out. She knew this was Su Quan's doing and was so angry that her beautiful eyes radiated fierce light.

"Really... such a beautiful woman, yet she has a mouth. Every time I chat with you for a few more sentences, I get so angry! Can't you learn from Jean? A little more gentleness, a little less preaching?"

"You, you've been spoiled by the Professor! No, I must find the you from another timeline, raise you from a young age, and make you into the look I like!"

Su Quan rambled on, and Storm, unable to speak to refute, stood up in anger, looking like she wouldn't let it go if he dared to do so.

Su Quan met her gaze: "Your personality is too impatient, your temper is too irritable. If I weren't craving your body, your personality would have been beaten by me eight times a day."

"Listen, I don't intend to merge the two timelines. It's not that easy to merge two timelines. Even if I had continued just now, it would only have been able to merge the spatial barriers of the two worlds from a spatial perspective, not a complete merger of the timelines!"

Greed leads to indigestion. He had only explored and researched space so far and could only manipulate spatial dimensions; he wasn't that deep or free yet.

Merging timelines requires control over the concept of time. Simply put, one must be able to manipulate the time axis in a true sense, which is the timeline!

Although he had a certain foundation in this regard and research shouldn't be difficult, now was not the time for such research. He didn't want to disrupt the development of the two timelines.

Even in terms of manipulating space, he was just practicing and had no intention of really trying it out!

Manipulating time and space would have unpredictable effects on reality. He didn't want to mess around in the mutant world!

"Morning, what are you two talking about?" Jean Grey walked over from the direction of the teaching building, greeted the two, and then said: "The Professor asks you to come over, it's about Logan."

Su Quan glanced at Storm, and Storm immediately felt her language function come back online. She glared fiercely at Su Quan and turned toward the teaching building.

Su Quan shrugged at Jean Grey: "I'm not interested in Logan, and the Professor basically knows everything about Logan, so I won't go."

"Alright." Jean Grey nodded and asked: "Then what are you going to do? I mean, is there anything you need my help with?"

Su Quan asked with a smile: "Poaching the Professor's wall, will you help too?"

"..."

Jean Grey revealed an awkward smile; she couldn't answer that.

"Go do your work, I'll find you if I need anything." Su Quan said understandingly.

Jean Grey breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and turned to chase after Storm.

"Whoosh—"

Su Quan manipulated space and disappeared right after.

Canada.

Inside the Alkali Lake dam, William Stryker's new base after the island base.

In the corridor, Su Quan, who had appeared suddenly, looked at the cold woman in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"What a coincidence... found the right person directly!"

The woman in front had a standard Asian face, her long hair combed back and tied up in a very professional and capable way. She was wearing a tight black leather suit very suitable for action, and one could tell at a glance that she was not to be trifled with.

Yuriko Oyama, codename: Deathstrike!

Thump, thump, thump, thump—Deathstrike's agile figure allowed her to rush to Su Quan's front instantly. With a slightly raised corner of her mouth revealing a playful smile, she struck his chin with a palm.

"Bang!"

Su Quan, who was hit, didn't move an inch under his feet, just tilted his head slightly, also raising the corners of his mouth playfully.

Deathstrike was taken aback, instantly changed her moves, her hands either fists or palms, launching a storm-like offensive.

Unlike Wolverine, who was open and closed with strong muscles, Deathstrike's seemingly weak body also possessed considerable strength. Her sharp moves tended to be agile and fast, forming her own style with the characteristics of fast, ruthless, agile posture, and surprise!

"Bang, bang, bang—bang, bang, bang—"

A series of rapid, fierce attacks made Deathstrike's expression uglier and more serious.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Self-Healing (Deathstrike)"

The attack intensity wasn't enough; she couldn't even break his defense. There was no chance to experience the effect of self-healing.

Su Quan dusted off his clothes, looked at Deathstrike who was retreating vigilantly, and kindly reminded: "Use your full strength, you can't kill me."

Deathstrike widened her eyes, opened her hands, and prepared to extend the Adamantium claws from her ten fingers.

Just then, footsteps rang out, and William Stryker, pretending to be hurried, ran out from behind Deathstrike, shouting loudly for her to stop.

"Su, Su Quan? It really is you!" William Stryker bypassed Deathstrike, who had obediently stopped, came to Su Quan excitedly, and punched him hard in the chest!

"Twenty years, you disappeared for twenty whole years. Do you know how I've spent these twenty years?"

"I've been looking for you!"

Su Quan pouted: "Don't make it sound like I abandoned you. Besides, you've been living quite well, haven't you? You have a new base and new mutants..."

William Stryker grinned: "Don't tell me you want her? We haven't seen each other for twenty years, and the first thing you do when we meet is want my capable assistant. Don't you think that's a bit too much?"

"I don't think so!" Su Quan shook his head: "Remember? You owe me."

William Stryker: "I thought you were looking for me to reminisce, I didn't expect it was to collect a debt."

"Are you paying?"

"I am!"

William Stryker said affirmatively: "The help you gave me back then is still vivid in my mind. I will definitely repay this favor! How about this, let me treat you well. You want mutants, you surely don't just want her, right? I have many targets here, you can choose slowly."

He enthusiastically put his arm around Su Quan's shoulder, preparing to have a good gathering with him.
