Chapter 219 Reversing the Future

Lucas let Tony tinker away, feeling that this genius inventor would bring him a small taste of technological shock.

Then he stretched, and this avatar turned into scattered fragments of light across the sky, dissipating into thin air.

A few days later.

Inside the living room of the town Villa, the atmosphere was very quiet and comfortable.

Wanda carried a plate of freshly cut fruit, while Jean was sitting on the sofa watching television. The time she spent staying here recently seemed to be a bit longer; even after finishing her studies, she was not in a hurry to go home, but instead stayed for a free meal.

But her delicate eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and her gaze was fixed on the news broadcast on the screen.

"What is wrong, Jean?"

Wanda placed the fruit plate on the coffee table and looked towards the television along Jean’s line of sight.

On the television screen, an urgent breaking news report from Washington was broadcasted:

A heavyweight scientist of the Military, Bolivar Trask, had suffered several consecutive assassination attempts by the Mutant Mystique over the past half month.

To everyone’s utter astonishment, the radical Mutant leader Eric stood face-to-face against Mystique in public, and even almost killed her.

Wanda frowned, "Clearly they are all Mutants, and even used to be comrades-in-arms, why must they try to kill each other?"

Lucas raised an eyebrow, leaning against the back of the sofa.

This is somewhat interesting.

He cast his thoughts outward, searching through time to see if there were any guests who did not belong to this spacetime.

Lucas remembered this plotline.

Especially Eric ruthlessly trying to kill Mystique, which was heartbreaking to watch, but Magneto was also doing it for the future of Mutants. When it concerned his compatriots, his methods were rather radical.

Within just a few seconds, Lucas found the root cause.

Someone had meddled with the upper reaches of the timeline.

In the future, the Military scientist Trask developed the infamous Sentinel robots.

After absorbing Mystique’s heterotypic genes, this type of robot could adaptively simulate and absorb the superpowers of all Mutants, and in turn hunt down and exterminate Mutants.

It even forced Professor X and Magneto to have nowhere to retreat, plunging them into a desperate situation.

At this moment, Wolverine’s consciousness had spanned decades, attaching itself to the physical body of this era!

"As expected, it is the plot of Days of Future Past... Let me go over and join in the fun to see just how strong the Sentinel robots can be."

Lucas grinned, without disturbing Wanda and Jean, casually splitting off a mental avatar. With a slight sway of his figure, he traveled through to the future.

Doomsday future, an abandoned temple deep within the Himalayas.

The sky was covered with dark clouds.

Thunder rumbled.

The air was filled with pungent smoke and dead silence.

Most Mutants had long been slaughtered by the Sentinel army, and only a tiny handful of surviving survivors were making their final resistance in this temporary Base.

Lucas even saw a certain ice-version of Blink.

On the stone platform, Logan was lying flat with his eyes tightly closed, while Shadowcat was gritting her teeth and continuously driving her superpower to maintain his consciousness in the past spacetime.

Professor Charles closed his eyes to rest his mind, trying to calm his restless mind.

Suddenly!

A psychic thought so massive that it could not be described with words swept across the entire temple Base!

Even Charles, who considered himself the ceiling of psychic power, felt as if his brain was about to be crushed alive within the extremely short time this thought swept past!

"Eric! Quick!" Charles gasped, abruptly opening his eyes.

The elderly Magneto suddenly turned around, his fists clenched tight, and asked in a deep voice: "Charles, what is wrong? Has the Sentinel hunting team surrounded us?"

"No... Not Sentinels!" Charles’s voice was trembling, "It is him... He is here!"

"He? Who is he?!"

Magneto had not yet had time to press further.

Lucas’s voice sounded out.

"Charles, how have you been!"

His tone still carried a trace of teasing, "You group of old bones are truly in such a pathetic state, actually being hunted down to near extinction. It seems that in this desperate future, Jean has already fallen first!"

The X-Men timeline had always been messy.

In the original version of X-Men, Jean had already taken Charles away in one wave before she died, whereas in this World, Charles was still alive.

Charles looked at the still-young Lucas before him, his eye sockets turning slightly red.

"As expected, it is your psychic power... Under the heavens, apart from you, no existence can possess such great might."

"I have already grown decrepit with old age, but you... are still as young as ever."

The old man really did talk a lot of chatter.

Before Lucas could reply, old Charles started talking to himself.

"Back then you extended a helping hand to me, yet later you ignored the Mutants. Why have you suddenly appeared at this juncture?"

Charles seemed somewhat resentful.

Lucas felt somewhat puzzled; given the relationship between Wanda and Jean, it was impossible for him to sit by and do nothing.

Then there was only one possibility.

On this timeline, he did not exist.

Lucas briefly checked and understood the beginning and end of the matter.

"Charles, because I am not the same as you all, in certain multiversal Worlds, my time does not exist linearly. Only under specific spacetimes do I leave my footprints, and this is to avoid being targeted by higher-dimensional existences."

"It can also be considered the special nature of being a visitor from another realm!"

Lucas continued, "On my timeline, Jean is still in the town, learning high-level White magic with Wanda."

"Our Charles, although he is a cripple, is also in his prime, and Eric is still tossing about blindly."

"As for Mystique, your little sister is assassinating that scientist, but sooner or later she will still be captured by the Military to research Sentinels."

"So Logan went back to the past precisely to rewrite all of this!" Magneto said in a deep voice, the flames of revenge burning in his eyes.

"Rewrite history? Perhaps!"

Lucas stretched:

"However, before Logan succeeds in rewriting it, you guys seem to still have quite a bit of trouble!"

Before his voice fell, Lucas could not even be bothered to mobilize his divine power; the force field naturally emitted by his physical body alone instantly blew the roof off the entire ancient stone hall on the spot!

Just by standing there, he suppressed the air to the point that it seemed to freeze, and Magneto and Charles were even forced by this wave of air to the point that they could not even open their eyes.

Lucas trampled the air apart, soaring straight into the firmament!

Above the clouds, the cold hums of machinery blared loudly!

Dozens of Sentinel robots covered all over in strange scales were exuding dazzling red light, pouncing and killing from all directions. A few of them even carried frost abilities, which at a glance were sucked from Iceman.

The Iceman of the cinematic Universe was just that disgraceful.

An Iceman capable of freezing a small asteroid was treated like a stray dog on the roadside by a Sentinel robot and kicked to death directly, exiting the stage in a very hasty manner.

At this moment, these Sentinel robots found the heterotypic gene carrier, and the leader among them had red light flashing on its chest, transmitting signals to summon companions in the distance.

"Calling for backup, are we?"

Lucas’s figure flashed, appearing directly in front of that Sentinel like teleportation. He extended his five fingers and, like cutting tofu, forcefully pierced through the Sentinel’s metal neck!

Then exerting force with his five fingers, he easily pinched it!

Buzz, crackle!

That Sentinel, which was sufficient to sweep across high-level Mutants, had its neck erupt with harsh electric arc explosions!
