Chapter 225 Jean Grey and Phoenix
Charles, Eric and Pietro came to Du Mu's office.

Cyclops and Nightcrawler are not in school at the moment, and as for the other students, since Du Mu didn't want to meet them, no one dared to join in the fun.

After all, if a real big leader comes to an ordinary school and doesn’t take the initiative to say that he is going to give a speech, which student would dare to approach him?
Du Mu stood by the window, observing the new mutant children in the school.

Most of the students were whispering to each other, discussing Du Mu's existence with great excitement, and some kept secretly glancing over here.

After all, to most people in the mutant world, the current Du Mu is as incredible as a god coming to earth.

Even without considering his incomprehensible power to directly manage the world, judging from the impact on his own life alone, he is undoubtedly the savior of those weak mutants.

While powerful mutants can certainly gain more advantages in production, we should not forget that there are still a large number of mutants who actually just have changes in appearance, or are slightly stronger in physique, and some even just have a forked tongue.

There is no doubt that these mutants who have no fighting ability can only live in peace and stability in the world changed by Du Mu.

Whether it is a discriminatory society dominated by humans, or a mutant society where the strong are respected, like the one dominated by Sebastian and Magneto in the past, they all live a hard life.

And like in most of the original cases, these people are often the victims at the bottom of the pile when humans and mutants are repeatedly tug-of-war.

As long as the mutants do not become extinct overnight and continue to intermarry with humans, the proportion of such weak mutants will continue to increase instead of decrease.

Therefore, the beliefs and reverence of these mutants are also very devout.

Charles walked up to Du Mu and looked at the students outside with him. He couldn't help but smile: "These children are living very happily recently. Their parents no longer hide them from others. When they go to the convenience store to buy things, they will not be threatened by the boss holding a double-barreled shotgun and leave."

"You don't know how free and happy it is for them to be able to go shopping and bask in the sun as they please."

"There are even... several parents who once abandoned their mutant children and have returned to look for their children because they are no longer afraid of their children."

Eric snorted when he heard this: "You abandoned the child because you thought he was dangerous before, but now you have the nerve to come after him? They don't feel ashamed at all."

Charles shook his head helplessly: "Don't be too harsh, Eric, this is human nature. And of course they feel ashamed, and not all children choose to forgive their parents... But in any case, at least in the future there won't be so many parents who abandon their children because they are afraid that their children will hurt themselves."

Du Mu did not comment much on this, just as the God-King did not care about these matters.

Pietro didn't say anything either. When he was a child, he thought his father had abandoned him and his mother. Only when he grew up and really met his father did he realize that his father had simply been unaware of his existence from the beginning.

It's just that Pietro's mother didn't want to leave the community where she lived, so she didn't move to Charles Manor, but that's okay with Pietro.

He could eat breakfast made by his mother at home in the morning, and then rush to Charles Manor to teach the first class to the students.

In fact, Pietro's birth was just an accident. After so many years, his mother was not the traditional little woman who was obsessed with a man. She just didn't dare to fall in love with other people because of Pietro's mutant identity.

Now not only has Pietro found his father, he also has the ability to protect himself... Well, actually the first two are not important. The most important thing is that Du Mu's divine protection shines upon the earth, allowing her to completely put aside her worries. She no longer has to go through the hardship of taking care of Pietro, and is now comfortably starting her new life.

Although Eric had met the other party once, he only expressed guilt and gratitude to her, and neither of them had any thoughts of renewing their past relationship... After all, it was just a fleeting romance at the beginning, and they almost forgot what each other looked like.

Fortunately, Pietro has grown up and there is no need for each other to compete for the status of guardian, so the two sides just left their contact information and only interacted as friends and Pietro's parents.

This was enough for Pietro. Both his parents cared about him and had their own lives. They did not make compromises for him, which made Pietro feel particularly relaxed when he was with them.

Now Pietro, like Banner, has no worries. He teaches children with unstable abilities to control their powers in school and is considered a young teacher.

"Master, I have mastered the magic of controlling friction very well. Now I can completely grind a tree with a diameter of three meters in half in 0.2 seconds."

Pietro excitedly expressed his learning achievements to Du Mu.

Du Mu recalled that it was the "scraping magic" he created casually. While increasing the friction, he used high-speed magic power or weapons to "scrape" the enemy.

Although the attack power may only be -1 each time, the one who can't resist using it is Quicksilver Pietro.

If you ask Pietro to sharpen the iron pestle, it will probably take less than half a second to grind it into a needle.

This can be considered as an offensive magic tailor-made for this disciple. After all, Pietro has a lively personality and is actually a little lacking in mobilizing magic power. It would be best if he could use his own mutant abilities to assist him.

However, Du Mu turned back and asked in the same tone, "Is this the only magic you are proficient in?"

Pietro paused, like a student who was caught, and smiled awkwardly: "Well... you are also very skilled in buffering magic. Just now, I used it to soften the wall and Eric, so there was no problem when they collided."

Du Mu's tone remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Are these the only two magics you are proficient in?"

Pietro was sweating a little.

Eric couldn't help but speak for his son, "Scott has only mastered one magic, and Pietro can skillfully use two, which is already amazing."

Du Mu smiled helplessly and continued to look at Pietro: "Oh, so did you learn magic at the same time as Scott?"

Pietro didn't dare to look Du Mu in the eye.

Eric almost didn't react. Aren't they classmates? They studied magic with the Lord for the same period of time.

But after all, Pietro was his child, and he immediately thought of his uniqueness.

The time that speedsters have for studying is truly incomparable to that of ordinary people.

In the same amount of time, Pietro only mastered one more kind of magic than others. He was really good at it.

Maybe he didn't even put in one-fiftieth of the effort that Cyclops Scott put in.

"I have high hopes for you, Pietro."

Du Mu said softly.

Pietro suddenly felt like he was carrying a mountain on his shoulders. With the tremendous psychological pressure, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Fortunately, Du Mu did not make things difficult for him. He just said, "Come with me later. I'll give you some strength." Pietro then breathed a sigh of relief. His heart began to beat at the speed of a speedster, like a high-frequency oscillation.

He scratched his head at Du Mu sheepishly, then nodded and said obediently, "Yes, Master."

Although Du Mu's last sentence sounded like he needed to practice more for Pietro, at least it showed that he cared about and was responsible for Pietro, and he did not force Pietro to say empty words like he would work hard in the future.

Assigning tasks to the other party in such a forceful way actually greatly reduced Pietro's psychological pressure... Anyway, just be obedient, there is no difficulty.

Eric also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, looking at Pietro's eyes, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of satisfaction and pride that he couldn't suppress.

The God looks at him differently... Pietro's performance is obviously better than others, but this makes the God dissatisfied. This fully proves that his child's potential is far better than that of ordinary people.

As an old father, Eric is naturally proud of him.

As for whether it would be tiring to study with the God?

It's better to be a little tired. Boys are thick-skinned and need to be tempered to become successful.

Charles on the side seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Although Du Mu cannot read minds in the mutant world, he can roughly guess what Charles wants to say based on the situation in the school.

He shook his head slightly and asked, "Has the school recruited a new girl named Jean Grey?"

Charles raised his head, looked at Du Mu in surprise, and nodded: "You also noticed her specialness? I always feel that this child is a little... hard to describe."

"There seems to be a strange being inside her, and her aura seems somewhat... like yours."

Eric and Pietro looked at Charles in surprise when they heard this.

Is it very similar to the aura of the God?

They are somewhat difficult to understand.

Charles looked at the two of them and said hesitantly, "Actually, I can't say they are very similar... but they are equally powerful, with the same sense of oppression and presence. Compared with the other party's will, I feel that my vitality is as thin and insignificant as a cell."

Eric thought for a moment and nodded in understanding.

Pietro looked at Eric in even greater surprise. No, the description was so vague, how come you suddenly understood it?
After all, Pietro had never been shocked by Du Mu's spiritual will. After Du Mu took multiple golden apples, he no longer suppressed the influence of his spiritual power on the people around him. Their fragile souls might be melted in an instant, or they might become puppets who could only repeat Du Mu's thoughts in mumbling, and their minds would be blown up by any tiny thought of Du Mu.

But before taking the golden apple, Du Mu's mental strength had already become extremely strong. Without any restraint, Charles and Eric had felt the oppressive feeling brought about by the different levels of life up close.

Du Mu nodded slightly: "Your feeling is right, but also wrong... It's like looking at humans from the perspective of an ant. Humans must all look the same, with one giant foot."

"That's a field of vision problem caused by the difference in size. The only thing that Phoenix and I have in common is probably that my mental strength is far superior to yours."

Charles did not question Du Mu's words. He keenly grasped the key information and said seriously, "Phoenix? In other words, there is a powerful will called Phoenix in Qin's body now?"

Du Mu nodded slightly: "That's right."

When Charles wanted to continue speaking, Du Mu interrupted him and said, "You don't have to bring Qin Gelei here. I can observe her presence from anywhere on this planet. Bringing her here will only affect her own judgment."

"In short, with the existence of the Godly Lord Protection System, even if Qin loses control slightly, she will not harm others. So you should comfort her as much as possible and find more friends for her to get along with. Don't use your mutant ability to directly change her emotions and memories."

Charles nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Lord God, I haven't rashly used my abilities for a long time."

Ever since he learned from the future Wolverine about the consequences of his rash mind-reading, Charles has not easily explored anyone's mind for a long time, except for the time when he helped Du Mu maintain the God Protection System.

Including Jean Grey, he only relied on the experience he learned from Du Mu, plus the improvement of his mental perception ability after taking a golden apple, so he had some awareness of the phoenix.

Unlike the original novel, the author did not directly read Jean Grey's mind to know the existence of the phoenix, so the previous description was a bit vague.

However, after understanding Qin's situation and Du Mu already knew about it, Charles immediately relaxed and smiled, "And it's not very difficult to calm Qin down. It's not to the point where I have to use my abilities."

"She had a traffic accident caused by her lost control of her abilities. Because of you, her family was unharmed. They just found out that Jean was a mutant, so they sent her to school for us to stabilize her condition."

"Qin is just frightened now. Her living environment has changed, so she is a little scared. As long as you let her know that with you around, she won't hurt anyone she cares about, I believe she will be able to cheer up soon."

Du Mu nodded.

He didn't expect that the God-King Protection System, which he created simply to ease the conflict between humans and mutants, could actually work on Jean Grey.

Jean Grey, who does not need Charles to use his ability to seal her memory, can try to control the power of the Phoenix in her body from an early age. She should not go crazy after using it when she grows up like in the original book.

After talking about the most critical issue of Jean Grey, Charles seemed to remember something and said in a casual tone, "By the way, Lord God, President Kennedy of the United States wanted to visit you. He wrote me countless letters and also came to Charles College to see me in person. I only promised him that when you return, you will mention this to him."

Du Mu naturally shook his head: "I'm busy."

Charles also nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll tell him this."

If it was Du Mu who had not yet acquired the Kryptonian physique, he might still be interested in talking to Kennedy.

It’s not that his strength has increased and he looks down on mortals, but for Du Mu now, chatting with acquaintances is also a form of entertainment.

But when getting along with strangers, one must first take into account the other person's cautiousness and let them chat with you without psychological pressure. This process is too torturous and too time-consuming for Du Mu. He might as well deal with Brainiac's jar city.

Since he was talking about being busy, Du Mu looked at Pietro again and said, "I came here this time, in addition to taking a look at the situation here, I actually came here to take Pietro away and ask him to help me complete a task."

Pietro really didn't expect that Du Mu's purpose of coming here was to take him away, and he immediately asked curiously: "What mission?"

Du Mu looked at him and smiled, "Well... I guess it can be considered as saving dozens of worlds."
