The only player in the Marvel universe.

In the future, Logan discovers that this Brotherhood is far more evil than he imagined.

Brainwashing is one thing, but they don't even pay you! It's pure freeloading!

This is something a human being would do!?

What he found even more unacceptable was that the person who did this was Charles, whom he trusted the most!

Charles's lips twitched as he watched Logan's worldview crumble.

It's all my fault for being young and ignorant back then, believing that Du Mu's nonsense about using special methods in special times, which resulted in this dark history being preserved.

Seeing the wary look in Logan's eyes, Charles was utterly speechless.

"Forget it, there's no point in saying anything more. I'll just let you see the truth for yourself."

Charles pressed his fingers to his temples, activating telepathy.

In the future, Logan felt a large chunk of unfamiliar memories suddenly flood his mind, the images flashing by rapidly, leaving him slightly dazed.

"This, this is..."

"This is what we went through back then."

Charles smiled and said, "We formed the Brotherhood with only one purpose from beginning to end: to protect the interests of mutants and allow more mutants to live openly in society without having to hide or fear the strange looks of others."

The Brotherhood has indeed done that.

Thanks to the Brotherhood and Charles's hard work over the years, mutants have a much better social standing now. While they may not have reached the level of white people who can do whatever they want, they are now slightly above black people and no longer at the bottom of society... well, except for black mutants.

But compared to the days when we weren't even as good as dark-skinned people, this is already a huge improvement.

Charles continued, "We recruited you and Victor to deal with Sebastian Shaw and stop his evil plot. We needed manpower, so we approached you. You've seen what happened afterward. After the mission was completed, I removed the influence on you, but you chose to stay."

He never mentioned Victor.

That guy has such a terrible personality, it's better not to unleash his power for now, otherwise who knows how much trouble he might cause.

In the future, after Logan has processed the memories in his mind, he discovers that he did indeed stay behind voluntarily.

The reason is simple: it just so happened to be Qin's school enrollment day...

What a useless bastard!

Logan mentally berated his younger self, slowly retracting his claws and losing his guard.

"Sorry, I thought you were the fraternity I know."

Based on his memories, Logan knew in the future that Charles had not become a bad person.

Du Mu, the leader of the brotherhood, wasn't a big boss. Although he had an extremely bad personality, he wasn't exactly a villain.

Of course, he wasn't a good person either!

Seeing that Charles had laid everything bare, Du Mu immediately lost interest; he had originally wanted to watch the excitement unfold a little longer.

He casually asked, "The Brotherhood you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be the one Magneto leads, would you?"

Logan was immediately startled: "How did you know?"

"Of course I know. I visited many parallel universes recently. There are X-Men and the Brotherhood in many of them. I even fought with the X-Men inside the bronze body of the Statue of Liberty and defeated Magneto and his Brotherhood."

Du Mu spoke casually, saying that traveling to a parallel world was nothing serious.

Charles and future Logan were both stunned.

The former was astonished that Du Mu could travel to parallel universes, while the latter was astonished that what Du Mu described was actually his own personal experience. Future Logan looked incredulous: "We did have this experience, but why don't I have any memories of you?"

Du Mu waved his hand: "It's normal. The development trajectories of many parallel universes are roughly the same. It's just that there is a deviation at a certain point in time, which gives birth to another parallel universe. It's like a river. The upstream looks similar, but when it encounters a rock or a fork in the middle, it splits into two rivers. Parallel universes are the same principle."

"The fact that you've never seen me proves that the parallel universe I traveled to is not the one you live in."

Logan was a little confused.

There was no way around it; in the parallel universe he lived in, his entire life consisted basically of smoking, drinking, getting hot pot, and... fighting.

Unlike the old wolf in "Logan," who had plenty of time to sit down and read books and newspapers to improve his knowledge, Charles understood and exclaimed in surprise, "Du Mu, you've even traveled through parallel universes?"

Du Mu nodded: "To be honest, during the time I was away, I traveled to other parallel universes and even met several older versions of you."

Charles immediately became interested: "Oh? What will I be like in my old age?"

Du Mu chuckled and said, "Not bad, you're paralyzed on one side and you've gone bald too."

Charles: "???"

Is that what you call good?

Am I going bald?

Charles was terrified and forgot all about his paralysis.

Du Mu nodded: "Yes, the kind that reflects light under the sun, without a single hair."

Charles chuckled twice, trying to comfort himself: "It really is a parallel universe. There's even a bald version of me. Luckily, my version isn't bald."

Du Mu chuckled: "You're overthinking it. Every Charles I've ever met is bald. It's the law of nature, like Eric's helmet or Logan's adamantium. It's destiny. In our mage terms, it's an absolute point in time, inescapable." Charles: "..."

Ignoring the withdrawn Charles, Du Mu asked the future Logan, "So, what do you want to do in our timeline?" The future Logan's expression instantly turned serious.

"To save the future!"

He didn't hide anything and told everyone what would happen in the future.

As Charles listened, he snapped out of his reverie, and his expression grew increasingly serious.

He had only read Logan's thoughts from the future, without examining his memories, and hadn't expected that the other party would be involved in such a serious matter. Du Mu, on the other hand, reacted calmly.

He had already heard Wade's spoilers and had read the entire X-Men comic book series, so he naturally knew something about the Sentinel robots.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the plot of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" that Wade mentioned.

In short, the future world, like in "Logan," is a timeline filled with despair, and mutants are facing extinction. So the survivors decide to send Logan back in time, hoping to nip the disaster in the bud before it happens.

In the future, Logan said seriously, "Charles and Magneto said that Mystique is the key to everything. All the Sentinels were created because of her. We must find her and stop her from assassinating Bolivar Trascoff, the creator of the Sentinels, so that we can cancel the Sentinel program and change history."

After hearing his words, Du Mu and Charles's expressions became somewhat strange.

Charles coughed and reminded him, "Um, Logan, Raven is also a member of our fraternity, and she's right here." Future Logan was stunned.

Right, in the memories Charles transmitted to him, Raven was a veteran member of the Brotherhood. Where else could she be if not at Xavier's School of the Dead? Future Logan frowned: "Could she be thinking of assassinating Trascowski?"

Du Mu laughed, his face full of certainty: "Impossible. These days, besides training, all she thinks about is shopping. She wouldn't have time for anything like assassinating the future Logan."

Wouldn't that mean his mission was already accomplished?

The problem is, nothing has changed!

Du Mu looked at Logan, who seemed completely bewildered, and raised an eyebrow: "Actually, I've wanted to say this for a while now, are you sure this timeline is really your past?"

"this."

Logan was stumped by the question.

Indeed, this so-called past is not exactly the same as the past he knows; in fact, it is completely unrelated.

In this timeline, Charles didn't create the X-Men at all; instead, he became a founding member of the Brotherhood, and those who were originally supposed to be X-Men members, including himself, became members of the Brotherhood.

According to Charles in his timeline, Charles and Eric had long since parted ways by this point in time, and the two were estranged and would fight whenever they met.

But right now, Charles and Eric are not only not separated, but they are like best buddies, spending their days together in private, and spending much more time together than Charles and his old flame Mora.

Most importantly, his target this time, Mystique Raven, had absolutely no intention of assassinating Trascowski.

In the future, Logan begins to wonder if he's wandered onto the wrong set.

"Wait a minute, Phantom Cat clearly sent me back to fifty years ago, so I should have actually gone back to the past. Why is this past different from what I know?"

Logan simply couldn't understand the future.

He's good at using his hands, but he's really not good at using his brain.

Charles said in a deep voice, "In any case, that Sentinel program is indeed a considerable problem, and we must stop its implementation." He briefly examined the future Logan's brain and found that the Sentinel robot was terrifyingly powerful.

They can freely change form, replicate the abilities of different mutants, and their numbers are like locusts; wherever they go, mutants are wiped out, and they are unstoppable. Charles couldn't bear to watch any longer; that kind of future was simply too hopeless.

He absolutely cannot allow that kind of future to happen.

NPC Charles Xavier has given you a new quest.

[Mission: Project Sentinel]

[Objective: The Sentinel robots are the culprits behind the extinction of mutants; stop the Sentinel program.]

[Rewards: Experience +3000, Mutant Favorability +10, Anchor Fragment*3, Random Item*2, Random Equipment*1, Dungeon Quest Item*1] [This quest is a prerequisite for the dungeon quest. Completing this quest will automatically unlock the dungeon quest.]

Dungeon quests actually have prerequisites?

Du Mu was a little surprised; it seemed this dungeon mission wasn't going to be easy.

However, he was quite interested in the Sentinel robots.

This technology could drive all mutants to the brink of extinction; if one obtained it...

Thinking of this, Du Mu instantly put on a righteous expression: "That's right, the technology of these sentinel robots is too dangerous. If it falls into the hands of those with ill intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable. This dangerous thing must be in our hands to ensure absolute safety." "Then what should we do?" Charles asked.

"Leave this to me."

Du Mu waved his hand, without revealing his specific plan.

Charles didn't press the matter further.

He roughly guessed that Du Mu planned to use some unconventional methods, which were very likely to violate his moral bottom line.

But since it concerned the future of mutants, Charles thought about it and decided to turn a blind eye.

The details of Logan's future were not made public; only Du Mu and Charles knew about them.

Du Mu instructed the future Logan to continue disguising himself as the original Logan, to spend a few days normally at Xavier's School, to eat, train, and look for the violin as usual, as long as he didn't give himself away. He told Du Mu to tell him the results once he had them.

Logan thought about it and realized that this was the only way.

After all, he couldn't voluntarily go back to the future. His only hope now was that stopping the implementation of the Sentinel Project would change his hopeless future.

Villa in the woods!

Emma picked up the water bottle by the bed and gulped down several mouthfuls before she could get rid of the severe dehydration debuff.

She glanced at the bedroom, where equipment fragments were scattered all over the floor. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Du Mu on the bed. Then, without any attempt to hide, she walked to the cabinet and began selecting new equipment in front of Du Mu, putting it on one piece at a time.

Du Mu also didn't understand women's thinking.

After fighting so many tough battles, my legs are trembling. Instead of resting properly, I actually have the energy to get up and change my clothes. After changing into a more conservative outfit, Emma took out a document from her four-dimensional pocket and casually tossed it to Du Mu.

"The information you requested has been investigated. Polivar Trasco owns a company called Trasco Industries, which originally started with gene research and biotechnology, but later transformed into military weapons development and has in-depth cooperation with the U.S. government."

Du Mu picked up the documents and leaned against the headboard to read them.

Trasc was a dwarf, small in stature but incredibly intelligent and all-knowing... a genius scientist. According to future Logan, he was the creator of the Sentinel robots, and the most crucial player in shaping that desperate future. Just how crucial?

In Logan's future timeline, Raven assassinates Trasc.

Therefore, the U.S. government saw the horror of mutants and captured Raven on the spot, obtaining her DNA. Based on the research data left by Trasc, they developed more powerful Sentinel robots, which ultimately led to the near extinction of mutants.

It could be said that without Trasc's death, there would have been no desperate future.

"He is indeed a talented person."

After reading Trasc's information, Du Mu said to Emma, ​​"Contact this guy for me. Tell him I'm very interested in his ideas and ask if he's interested in exterminating mutants together."

Emma: "???"
