[Starting as a Class 5 Mutant] Chapter 392/393 (Patreon)

Logan's eyes widened in disbelief. "What secret?"

"A secret about the Messiah—one that might help you, as well as Professor X and Magneto," Chris said with a sly smile.

As a member of the X-Men, Chris naturally knew more than the average student at the academy, including Logan's arrival from a dystopian future where Sentinels were about to wipe out Professor X, Magneto, and the remaining mutants.

Hearing this, Logan's curiosity grew. "The Messiah's secret? Something that helps both Professor X and Magneto?"

He was utterly perplexed. What kind of secret could the Messiah possibly have?

Chris grinned. "As long as you promise not to tell the professor or Magneto, I'll share it with you."

Logan's curiosity gnawed at him like a persistent itch. Unable to resist, he quickly assured, "Alright, I promise! I won't tell anyone. Just spill it."

Chris nodded, then leaned in and whispered, "The Messiah is actually the child of Professor X and Magneto."

Logan froze, his mind reeling. Had he misheard? How could something so absurd be true?

"The Messiah is their child?" Logan stammered. "Are we talking about that kind of child?"

"Keep your voice down!" Chris warned, nodding solemnly. "Yes, exactly that kind of child."

"The Messiah carries DNA from both Professor X and Magneto," Chris explained, recounting his discovery of confidential reports detailing the Messiah's genetic origins.

Logan's brain buzzed, completely overwhelmed. Not even his journey to this parallel world had shocked him as much as this revelation.

The Messiah—a genetically confirmed child of Professor X and Magneto?

Logan stood there, utterly stunned. The thought rendered his mind blank.

Looking back, Logan had always found their relationship strange—enemies, yet not quite. Despite their ideological conflicts, they would always come to each other's aid in times of danger.

Now, with this new information, everything seemed to fall into place.

"You're not messing with me?" Logan asked, his voice trembling with disbelief.

Chris nodded earnestly. "Why would I lie about this? It's true. And even Magneto and Professor X themselves don't know!"

Logan scrutinized Chris's face for any hint of deceit but found none. Chris's serious demeanor made it clear he wasn't joking.

So it was true—Professor X and Magneto had a child together.

Logan's jaw dropped.

He couldn't say whether Professor X or Magneto here knew about this, but if the future versions of those two old men ever learned of it, their reactions would undoubtedly be priceless.

His face turned red as he tried to suppress his astonishment. This secret was just too monumental to keep. He couldn't help but admire Chris for managing to hold onto it for so long.

Chris leaned closer again, whispering, "Remember, don't breathe a word of this to anyone—especially not Professor X or Magneto."

Logan nodded instinctively, still dazed.

Seeing this, Chris relaxed slightly. "Good. Now you see why the Messiah will probably help you. With that kind of connection, you have nothing to worry about!"

"With the Messiah on your side, everything will work out!"

Logan's hesitation lingered.

While he felt somewhat reassured about the Messiah's willingness to help, doubts about the Messiah's ability to deal with the countless Sentinels remained.

The Sentinel robots weren't ordinary threats. Even Omega-level mutants might struggle, especially if the robots could replicate their powers.

Even if the Messiah could destroy some Sentinels, how could he take on the entire swarm? At some point, sheer numbers might overwhelm even him.

Logan sighed, troubled. "Well, this is all I've got for now. If there are any issues, I'll discuss them with the professor later."

Even if the Messiah couldn't eliminate all the Sentinels, his intervention could still improve their dire situation.

With that, Logan turned his attention to finding the Messiah.

As for the White Knight, he pushed that search aside for the moment.

While Logan wrestled with his worries, Syd was out in the desert, practicing his Sunshine ability.

[+1 Sunshine experience]

After half an hour of training, Syd's instincts suddenly screamed danger.

Without hesitation, he pulled out the Space Stone and activated it.

A flash of blue light rippled through the air as space shifted. In the blink of an eye, Syd vanished from the desert, reappearing in a secluded urban alleyway.

As soon as he arrived, he let out a sigh of relief. The sense of impending danger dissipated.

"Syd, what just happened?"

Venom emerged from his arm, its face filled with confusion and lingering fear. Clearly, it had sensed the danger as well.

"I don't know," Syd replied, shaking his head.

He paused, lost in thought, before an idea began to form.

It was likely another attempt by the American military.

Currently, the only thing on Earth capable of harming his divine body was a nuclear strike—and not just any single missile, but an overwhelming barrage.

Rumors claimed that the United States had stockpiled thousands of nuclear warheads, enough to ignite global devastation.

If they detonated hundreds or even thousands of them simultaneously near him... Syd didn't even want to imagine the result.

The sheer impact would likely fracture the North American tectonic plate, triggering massive earthquakes.

"Clearly, hanging around empty deserts isn't the best idea," Syd muttered, shaking his head.

While he'd long known the military's ruthlessness, their audacity still surprised him.

As for how they tracked him, he wasn't shocked. Some mutants had abilities akin to hyper-sensitive bloodhounds, capable of sniffing out molecular traces.

"Staying in populated cities should deter the military from making reckless moves for now," Syd mused.

At least until they developed a countermeasure against spatial teleportation, they would likely hold back.

"When Sunshine reaches level five..."

Syd's gaze turned cold.

By then, the military would learn the true meaning of consequences.

With that thought, Syd stepped into a sunny corner of the alley and resumed his training.

Time passed swiftly, and soon, it was the following afternoon.

(End of Chapter)

Just as Syd was about to continue practicing his abilities, he sensed someone searching for him.

However, these weren't agents or military personnel—just ordinary people.

"W-White Knight?"

The young white man before him, named Kavor, was utterly stunned at the sight of the White Knight.

"Who's looking for me?" Syd asked calmly.

Kavor froze for a moment before stammering like a scared child spilling secrets. "I think it's some rich guy. He's trying to find you and the Messiah."

He added, clearly panicked, "This has nothing to do with me! I just took some money to help look for you. He hired a lot of people…"

Hearing this, Syd was taken aback. "A rich man?"

What would someone like that want with him?

His gaze sharpened as he looked at the trembling man before him, red energy glowing faintly in his hand.

"Don't kill me…" Kavor was so terrified he nearly collapsed, thinking the White Knight was about to incinerate him on the spot.

Ignoring his plea, Syd allowed the chaos magic in his mind to seep into Kavor's consciousness. "What does he look like?"

At his command, Kavor's mind involuntarily conjured the image of a bald man in a wheelchair.

Syd immediately recognized him. "Professor X?"

The realization struck him. Professor X was, in fact, a hidden magnate of sorts. After all, the massive estate of the X-Mansion, the resources to care for so many mutant children, and a fully equipped jet weren't exactly cheap.

It also explained part of the ideological divide between Professor X and Magneto—their vastly different life experiences. While Professor X lived a life of privilege, Magneto had endured hardship and oppression.

Syd frowned. "What could he possibly want with me?"

After a moment's hesitation, he decided to find out for himself.

With a wave of red energy, Syd used his mental powers to hypnotize Kavor, who immediately fell unconscious.

Before leaving, Syd paused, sensing something in the shadows nearby. He glanced toward the dark corner before vanishing.

From the shadows, a blind man in a suit emerged, leaning on a cane.

Daredevil.

He checked Kavor, confirming he was merely unconscious, then let out a breath of relief.

Looking in the direction Syd had disappeared, Daredevil muttered with apprehension, "The White Knight…"

Meanwhile, Syd had already shifted his attention away from Daredevil. The vigilante, while capable, was insignificant to him.

Syd focused on his next steps. After some thought, he swapped his Asgardian white robes for a black outfit he hadn't worn in a while—the signature attire of the Messiah.

Given that he would be meeting Professor X and his team, appearing as the Messiah seemed more appropriate.

Using the Space Stone, Syd visualized the X-Mansion and activated its power.

In an instant, he appeared within the wooded area of the mansion grounds.

Floating above the trees, Syd's arrival didn't go unnoticed.

"Look! Someone's flying in the sky!" Bobby, the Iceman, exclaimed.

"Bobby, are you crazy? No one can—"

But before the student could finish, a wave of astonished cries echoed across the X-Mansion.

"The Messiah?"

"Oh my God, the Messiah—a real Omega mutant—has come to our school?"

Excited whispers spread quickly, and soon someone ran off to notify Professor X.

It wasn't long before Professor X, Logan, and several others arrived at the scene.

Hovering above them, Syd looked down calmly. "What do you want from me?"

Before anyone else could respond, Chris stepped forward eagerly. "Syd, here's the situation…"

After a quick explanation, realization dawned on Syd's face.

X-Men: Days of Future Past?

Syd glanced at Logan, not particularly surprised to see him. However, he was slightly intrigued by the notion of Logan arriving in the wrong timeline.

Watching Logan's uneasy expression, Syd considered his options.

He hesitated. On one hand, the future Sentinels piqued his curiosity. On the other, the effort involved might prove significant.

After a moment's thought, Syd nodded. "Alright, I'll help you."

The future intrigued him enough to take a look.

Logan's face lit up with joy, while the others—Professor X included—were surprised that the Messiah agreed so readily.

However, Logan's excitement quickly waned as he recalled a critical problem.

"The Messiah can't travel to the future," Logan admitted, his concern clear.

Syd pondered this for a moment, then smirked as an idea formed.

Kamar-Taj's portal spells.

Using those, he could likely open a pathway to the future Logan described. Of course, such a solution wasn't without its risks.

Shrugging off the potential complications, Syd floated down to Logan. He extended a finger and touched Logan's forehead. "Relax. Think about the place you came from."

"What?" Logan asked, confused.

The others, including Professor X, watched with puzzled expressions.

Activating chaos magic, Syd suppressed its characteristic red glow to avoid alarming anyone.

Using Logan's memories, he glimpsed the desolate future—a place of death and despair.

Even more fascinating, Syd's telepathy connected him to the consciousness of Logan's comatose future self, as well as the minds of Kitty Pryde, Professor X, and the others in that timeline.

Pulling back his hand, Syd said calmly, "I know where to go now. Don't worry—I'll handle it."

Without further explanation, he activated spatial teleportation and vanished in a series of flashes.

Logan and the others stared, dumbfounded.

"What does he mean by that?"

"How can he just 'go there'? That's an unknown future!" Scott exclaimed, utterly bewildered.
