Chapter 465

~8 min read 1,554 words

Northstar raised her head somewhat timidly. The moment their eyes met, she shrank back in a hurry like a frightened squirrel.

"I… I also admit defeat."

You're not right!

Although Northstar wasn't as noisy as Magma, as the first person to wake up, her previous words and actions hadn't been this timid.

She seemed like a different person now!

Was she scared by him, traumatized?

That can't be!

Su Quan narrowed his eyes and stared at Northstar. The direct gaze made Northstar, who was lowering her head, start to tremble.

"You…" Su Quan was just about to speak when the shivering Northstar actually shouted and turned into a stream of light, running toward the door.

Was she trying to run or…

Su Quan shook his head dumbly. With a thought, he manipulated the spatial dimension and directly transferred the space outside the door to in front of him.

"Whoosh—"

Northstar opened the door and ran out, and then… she ran in front of Su Quan.

Eye to eye, Northstar blinked, let out another scream, turned around, and ran toward the door again.

"Bang!"

The moment the door closed, she appeared in front of Su Quan again.

She looked blankly at the door in the distance, then at Su Quan in front of her, and rolled her eyes in despair…

Okay, she didn't faint, but it seemed… she had changed!

"If I say that the one just now wasn't me, do… do you believe it?"

Looking at Northstar's complex expression, Su Quan smiled dismissively: "I believe it, why wouldn't I? Isn't it just multiple personalities? It's not the first time I've seen it."

Multiple personalities really weren't anything new to Su Quan. The recent Dark Phoenix, the distant Flower of the DC Universe, were all multiple personalities.

He hadn't come into contact with them, but the more typical ones were Marvel's Typhoid Mary and the mutant Legion, as well as Crazy Jane from the Doom Patrol team in the DC Universe, all of whom were famous for multiple personalities!

Especially Legion and Crazy Jane; each of their personalities corresponded to a corresponding superpower.

By comparison, Northstar's simple and normal multiple personality really didn't count for much.

Northstar breathed a sigh of relief. If the other personality of hers had succeeded, it would have been fine; she would have gone with the flow and enjoyed the time of freedom.

But she failed…

She had to consider the consequences.

Fortunately, the other party understood multiple personalities and didn't implicate her because of what her other personality had done!

"I, I also admit defeat!"

Although the other personality had already expressed her stance, Northstar felt that she was her, and I am me; in the current situation, it was better to distinguish it clearly.

Su Quan beckoned to the White Queen and arranged: "They will stay here, and I leave them to you to discipline."

The White Queen smiled and said: "I will train them well."

"You know what I told the Black Queen to do, right?" Su Quan saw the White Queen nod and continued: "The Cerebro is prepared for you. After it's made, find a mutant named Jimmy. After you find him, don't take action; notify me immediately."

The White Queen knew the special nature of Jimmy and nodded without asking more.

"By the way, I have something good for you!"

Su Quan thought of something, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he raised his hand.

In an instant, a cluster of golden-red energy emerged in his palm.

"So… such a powerful sense of oppression! Such powerful strength!"

As soon as this power appeared, everyone in the room felt a palpitation in the depths of their hearts!

"This… is this the Phoenix Force?"

The Black Queen had mentioned it when reporting, so the White Queen's first reaction was to guess that this should be the multiverse-level power known as the Phoenix Force.

"That's right."

Su Quan nodded, and the Phoenix Force rushed toward the White Queen.

"Boom!"

The Phoenix Force surged into the White Queen's body. The White Queen trembled slightly, and then powerful, surging strength instantly burst out of her body.

The golden-red energy light was dazzling. The people around her avoided and moved away one after another, their eyes filled with amazement and envy as they looked at her.

Multiverse-level powerful strength, he gave it to the White Queen just like that; could they not be envious?

Of course, what they envied wasn't that the White Queen got the Phoenix Force, because they knew very well that as long as they followed Su Quan, they would eventually get it too.

But the prerequisite was that they had to complete the task, perform outstandingly, and then they could get Su Quan's reward.

The White Queen was different; she didn't need to complete a task, nor was it a reward, but a normal bestowal.

This point alone was enough to prove her special status in Su Quan's heart; this was the favoritism they couldn't get no matter how hard they tried!

"Such powerful strength!" The White Queen realized for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "Can this power be used in the Time Variance Authority?"

The first thing the White Queen thought of was the Time Variance Authority, which prohibited any abilities.

She knew very well that the Time Variance Authority was Su Quan's goal and the focus of their next stage.

Recruiting mutants was also to fill the vacancy after the super soldiers were transferred.

Su Quan said: "I haven't tried it, but it should be possible."

The 'level' of the Time Variance Authority theoretically shouldn't be as high as the Phoenix Force. The reason it was special was because it managed and guarded part of the multiverse timeline. Once it was breached, it might face endless invasions and a multiverse war.

In this regard, Su Quan was no longer worried.

Times were different now; he had a certain degree of control over time and space, and in managing the Time Variance Authority, he would only be stronger than He Who Remains!

"Comprehend the Phoenix Force well. I hope the person by my side will always be you!"

This was Su Quan's expectation for the White Queen, and also a promise!

Returning from the Hellfire Club to the X-Mansion, Su Quan became a salted fish.

Every day, he was either flirting with Jean Grey or Storm, or brushing up on the students' abilities, picking a few he liked to interact with.

In this timeline, only a few goals remained unreached.

One: Find the cure Jimmy and obtain his ability.

Two: Fool Ichiro Yashida and let him use adamantium to help him build the Silver Samurai armor.

For the former, the cure Jimmy was still young, and his mutant gene hadn't awakened yet. Once it awakened, finding him was only a matter of time.

For the latter, after Madame Hydra brought out the plan to transfer the healing ability, which was to absorb life force to make people regain their youth, Ichiro Yashida had already taken the bait.

He had already hired Madame Hydra as his private doctor and was secretly buying a large amount of adamantium, preparing to make the Silver Samurai armor.

The only thing Su Quan had to do was to take Wolverine to the Yashida family when the time was ripe, and then…

Receive Mariko Yashida and the Silver Samurai armor!

"Studying abilities again? Sometimes I really don't understand what your purpose is. Didn't you come to the school to recruit mutants? Why haven't I seen you take any action?"

On the bench of the playground, Storm sat down beside Su Quan and handed over the freshly brewed coffee…

Su Quan took it, took a sip, and said with a smile: "How do you know I haven't taken action?"

"When did you…" Storm said, suddenly finding Su Quan looking at her with a half-smile, which made her feel absurd: "You aren't talking about me, are you?"

Su Quan smiled without a word and didn't deny it.

Storm said absurdly: "I'm not a student. The school is my home, and I won't go with you."

Su Quan said unhurriedly: "The conditions the Professor agreed to didn't limit it to students, and… fledglings always have to leave home."

"Even without me, you will leave the school. You can't be an X-Man for the rest of your life, right?"

"And… if you go with me, you can come back if you want to in the future, but if you don't go with me, you will never see higher scenery, and you will never see me again."

"The world is big, the universe is many. Even if I like it, I won't be tied down by a certain place or a certain person, because my front is the sea of stars."

"Either walk with me, or become passersby to each other."

"How will you choose?"

"I…" Storm thought in a dilemma, then suddenly realized: "What is what? Why do I have to choose? I, we don't have any relationship."

The protagonist has too many abilities, making them seem not so prominent. I'll simply organize a few prominent points.
