Chapter 530: One isn't enough, they
"The concept of parallel worlds, or parallel universes, comes from quantum mechanics. Because quantum mechanics has uncertainty, and all matter in the universe is composed of quanta."
"Since every quantum has different states, it is possible that the universe is not just one, but composed of multiple similar universes."
"Among these universes, there are those born under the same conditions as ours. The trajectories of these universes might be the same as ours, or they might be different."
"In these different universes, the development of things can have different results: for example, a species that is already extinct in our universe might be constantly evolving and thriving in another."
"Or, for another example, there might be no mutants at all in a certain universe!"
Sage gave a simple popular science explanation of the concept of parallel universes, then returned to his own speculation.
"The fact that there are no traces of his existence in this world is very likely because he comes from another world, from... a parallel universe!"
Sage's bold speculation made everyone feel a buzz in their heads, as if they had exploded.
Su Quan is actually not from this world?
This... is this true?
Lorna looked at Su Quan with some hesitation: "You, do you really come from another world?"
Su Quan nodded slowly: "Yes."
"Hiss... wait a minute, let me calm down first. Parallel worlds and such are already beyond my understanding."
Lorna lowered her head, rubbing her temples, and the others also showed expressions of disbelief.
At this moment, Sonya suddenly spoke up.
"If I don't know you, even if you were from this world, to me, we would still be two different worlds."
"If we know each other, what does it matter which world you are from? You are still you!"
Sonya generously took Su Quan's hand and gave him a smile of trust and support.
That's right, what does it matter which world he comes from? We know and care about Su Quan the person, not which world he comes from.
As long as he is still him, that's enough!
Clarice came to Su Quan's side and took his other hand.
Sage shrugged: "Don't look at me, I just wanted to verify my speculation, I have no opinion of him."
"Besides, if Void Island is really like what he said, I really want to go."
Although she would jump out to argue every time Su Quan said something, that was also for everyone's safety, out of a responsibility to protect everyone.
She had no opinion of Su Quan; in fact, after these few incidents, she had even begun to admire and worship him, it just wasn't very obvious.
"Me too."
John nodded and said: "Actually, I have always been under a lot of pressure, very afraid that I haven't done enough in some places, letting you down, letting down those who need help."
"If there is a place where mutants are no longer oppressed and no longer discriminated against, I am very willing to go and contribute."
Their successive statements put the pressure on Lorna. Lorna, who wanted some peace and quiet, looked absurd: "No, you guys are making it seem like I have an opinion of him. What have I become?"
"I just... I just didn't expect him to come from a parallel world, that's all. A parallel world! Aren't you guys surprised? Aren't you curious?"
Lorna really didn't think much of it; she was just shocked by the parallel world. As a result, Sonya's statement directly derailed the conversation, turning it from shock at the parallel world to whether or not they trusted Su Quan.
This left her speechless.
It was Su Quan who saved her from the Sentinel Services, and now she was still wearing the flight ring Su Quan gave her. How could she not trust Su Quan?
"Do you trust me?" Lorna stared straight at Su Quan.
Su Quan glanced at his occupied left and right hands and said with a smile: "I do, but there's no room left, otherwise..."
Su Quan extended his leg as if standing at ease.
What does that mean?
No room for hands, so she has to hug his thigh?
(Homophonic characters, anti-censorship.)
"Tell us about the parallel universe. Are there any differences?" Clarice asked curiously.
Su Quan said with a smile: "First of all, there are many parallel universes. Countless parallel universes make up the multiverse, and countless multiverses make up the omniverse."
"The universe I manage has no mutants, but it has superheroes and villains with various abilities, as well as so-called gods and aliens."
"Void Island is in another universe that only has mutants. I have been to many mutant universes, sending suitable mutants from those universes to Void Island. When the time is ripe, I will bring Void Island back to the world I manage."
"In my world, mutants can become heroes, be respected and worshipped, or they can live a peaceful life in my territory, using their own abilities and their own hands to create a beautiful life."
"As for the differences..."
Su Quan looked at Clarice and said with a smile: "I promised the other Clarice to meet the other Clarice."
This was a bit convoluted, but Clarice understood.
"So, I don't know the first Clarice you know?"
"Her name is Clarice Ferguson, codename Blink."
Clarice asked: "Does she have the same ability as me? Does she... does she look like me?"
"Same ability, different appearance."
Clarice subconsciously wanted to ask who was prettier, her or the other one, but Lorna suddenly asked: "You wouldn't happen to be his son from another world, would you?"
"He," naturally, referred to Magneto.
Su Quan was speechless: "Magneto, Erik Lehnsherr. I know two Magnetos, one young, one old. I won't mention the young one; he is in the world of Void Island, you will see him."
"As for the old one, hehe..."
This "hehe" is very expressive; Lorna reacted instantly, realizing that the elderly Magneto must have suffered a setback at Su Quan's hands.
"Who else among us have you met?" Lorna asked with interest.
The others were also very curious.
Su Quan shook his head; John, Sage, Sonya, and even Lorna were all people he was meeting for the first time across the many worlds he had experienced.
"The timelines of each world are different. This one belongs to the post-X-Men era. The ones I've had the most contact with are Magneto, Professor X, Mystique, White Queen, Storm, and people like them."
"There are currently two Mystiques and two White Queens on Void Island, and in the future, there will be two Storms, two Black Queens, two Psylockes, two Blink, two Nightcrawlers, and so on."
"Oh, right, and two Blinks!"
Good heavens, one isn't enough, and they all come in pairs?
Everyone's mood was quite strange now; on one hand, they were curious about their 'other selves,' and on the other, they were glad there was only one of them.
Except for Clarice, who was only feeling curious right now...
