A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

If we disregard other factors and focus solely on the X gene and mutant abilities, Charles can confidently say that it is possible.

After all, the potential of the X gene is limitless, and it wouldn't be surprising if it granted people any kind of ability.

As a mutant mentor and expert, Charles can provide such an authoritative answer.

So, is this why Zhou Cheng contacted him?

Want to tell yourself something about the future?

What harsh future awaits some mutants?

If that's the case...

Charles regained his composure.

Although he is now as decadent as a lump of mud, it doesn't mean that Charles doesn't care about the future of mutants.

On the contrary, it was precisely because Charles cared too much about mutants that he suffered such a fatal blow.

So when Charles realized that this might be a mutant revealing the future to him, he paid considerable attention.

"Mutants are being wiped out!"

Tony, sitting in front of another diary, was severely shocked by the news.

The mutants mentioned here also include the X-Men, a superhero group similar to the Avengers, right?

The diary's tone is quite clear: the X-Men and Magneto are different; this is a positive group!

Why do human governments even target the X-Men?

Moreover, a question that Playboy had previously had has finally been confirmed here: the Sentinel robots were developed by the human government!

In other words, the hunting of mutants is something that human governments do!

Why is this happening?

Why would a human government do this?

Are the X-Men bad guys?

What is the reason behind this?

Playboy was still eager to find out.

Unfortunately, the diary doesn't reveal much, and it's not something Tony can figure out in a short time.

However, besides that, Tony obtained another very important piece of information.

There must be quite a few mutants.

After all, if the number of people in a certain group is not enough, why would the government set up a special affairs department?

At most, it would be like the Sokovia Agreement, with the introduction of certain treaties to impose restrictions.

"So, this is the real reason?"

When Tony realized this, he instantly understood, thanks to his intelligence.

That's right! If the number of people with superpowers reaches a certain level, any ruler would be uneasy!

Moreover, mutants, as a superpowered group, are different from ordinary superpowered groups.

Although the diary didn't explain it in detail, the term "mutant" speaks volumes.

It's important to know that the original meaning of "Mutant" is mutation.

In other words, there is a high probability that mutants are ordinary people who have mutated!

This makes the relationship between mutants and ordinary people even more complicated.

It involves a wide range of issues, and can be described as a complete mess.

Even someone as intelligent as Playboy couldn't come up with a perfect solution in a short time.

But there are no "what ifs" in this world!

The mutants were truly driven to desperation; even Professor X and Magneto working together couldn't save them.

[Haha, Professor X and Magneto have been fighting each other their whole lives. Neither of them could have imagined that one day they'd be fighting side-by-side, right?]

They even devised a grand plan to "reverse the future," so they must have seen "The Terminator."

I just read the newspaper; it's 1973 now!

If I remember correctly, the Wolverine from fifty years in the future arrived in this year through time travel, right?

Charles's expression became quite interesting; he didn't even know how to react.

Have he and Eric teamed up again?

These two former comrades-in-arms, who had become bitter enemies, will one day join forces again.

However, if that's really the case, it would show just how serious the crisis facing the Sentinel robots fifty years from now truly is.

The diary also states that the Sentinel robots nearly wiped out the mutants.

The mutants were "at their wits' end".

Charles could still imagine what a desperate scene that must have been.

However, how will Eric and I deal with the Sentinel robot crisis fifty years from now?

A plan to reverse the future?

How can this be reversed in the future?

How can we reverse what has already happened?

"Fifty years from now!"

"Having traveled through time!"

When Charles saw the answer in the diary, he was severely shocked and utterly stunned.

The plan to reverse the future is actually time travel!

That's quite a grand gesture!

Fifty years later, are the X-Men really capable of doing such incredible, even fantastical things that only exist in novels?

That's really amazing!

Moreover, the diary explicitly mentions that the Wolverine from fifty years in the future actually traveled through time this year!

I wonder if the other person has arrived yet?

If you arrive, where are you now?

What will the opposing side do to reverse the future of the Sentinel robots?

A series of questions flashed through Charles's mind.

However, Tony, who was facing another diary, did not have as many questions.

At least, there aren't many questions about how Wolverine reverses the future.

After all, the diary mentioned "The Terminator"!

Charles hadn't seen this movie; it didn't exist back then, but Playboy had.

This movie caused a sensation back then, it was a phenomenal film, and Tony certainly knew that.

And what about Terminator?

It tells the story of someone who travels back in time to assassinate a key figure.

So it's quite obvious that Professor X and Magneto's plan is to send Wolverine back in time and nip the Sentinel robots in the bud!

The plan is so obvious and natural that there's nothing more to say about it.

The only question is, can the X-Men also travel through time?

The Avengers invented the time machine, so what about the X-Men?

Regardless of how they did it, the diary is right; this is indeed a superhero group that is in no way inferior to the Avengers.

Furthermore, the time rules of the X-Men universe are also reflected here, which are clearly different from their own.

After all, in one's own universe, changing the past cannot change the future.

Reversing the future is impossible in one's own universe.

And what about within the other's universe?

Clearly, just like the time rules in the movie, changing the past will also change the future!

I wonder if Mystique has killed Trisk yet?

If Trisker is already dead, then this timeline is still the old one.

[Wolverine is still the rogue Wolverine, not the X-Men he will become.]

If Triske hadn't died, I could have witnessed the Days of Future Past event firsthand.

The key lies with Mystique.

Who could have imagined that Mystique would be the root of everything? The Sentinel robots were created based on Raven's DNA.

[It can freely change its form to deal with mutants of any ability!]

"Raven".

Charles murmured the name, a hint of melancholy creeping onto his face.

Raven has left me.

When Raven was just a little girl, she ran into Charles's house to steal things, but Charles took her in, and the two became family.

They grew up together and fought against the Black Emperor together; the bond they formed needs no further explanation.

However, in the end, Raven still left him.

This still bothers Charles, and after calming himself down, he turned his attention back to his diary.

He sat up straight involuntarily.

Did Raven kill Trisk?

Do not!

The kind girl I know would never do something like murder!

Charles felt a tightness in his chest and found it hard to accept.

That damn Eric, what kind of ideas has he been feeding Raven?!

How could he let Raven become an executioner!

Charles was both worried and angry; he wished he could find Raven right now and bring her back to the right path.

But soon I felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

He's a complete waste now, he can't use the brainwave enhancer anymore, and there's no way he can find Raven.

Moreover, Charles knew deep down that even if he found Raven, she would never listen to him again.

The little girl who grew up with me is no longer the same person she used to be.

Charles felt increasingly distressed.

But who is Trask?

Why did Raven kill Triske?

Moreover, judging from the tone of the diary, Raven killing Trask was actually a significant event in Days of Future Past!

In other words, whether Triske lives or dies will directly change the future.

This will lead to two completely different futures!

Then consider the tragic reality fifty years from now, where Sentinel robots have nearly wiped out mutants, and the "Days of Future Past" project that Eric, in collaboration with his future self, undertakes.

How could Charles not have realized it yet?

Trisker is the key figure in the creation of the Sentinel robots!

The Sentinel robot must have been created by this person!

Therefore, with this person's death, the Sentinel robots will not be born, and the tragic future of mutants will not unfold.

"Wait a minute, Trask!"

After realizing all of that, Charles finally came to his senses.

The Trisque here must be Bolivar Trisque, right?

This is one of the most outstanding scientists and weapons experts of this century.

If Charles were asked to name the most likely "suspect" who created the Sentinel robots, he would also name Trisk.

So that's right, there's no escaping it, it must be a Sentinel robot created by Trisk!

But Triske actually used Raven's DNA to develop the Sentinel robot, something Charles never expected.

This also angered Charles.

That guy, how could he do such a thing to Raven?

Is this why Raven wanted to assassinate Trask?

Charles was somewhat angry again.

Unfortunately, there's nothing he can do now except silently rage.

He is no longer the same person he used to be.

After his initial anger, Charles became even more wary of the Sentinel robots.

His expression also became extremely solemn.

Can Sentinel robots really change their form at will, just like Riven?

This is truly a terrifying robot.

He's practically the nemesis of all mutants!

After all, for mutants, almost everyone only possesses one ability.

Even the strongest ability has its weaknesses and ways to counter it.

Doesn't this mean that the Sentinel robots simultaneously possess all the weaknesses of mutants?

This is truly a nightmare for all mutants!

Charles finally understood why the Sentinel robots had put mutants in such a desperate situation.

"Wait a minute, something's not right."

Just as he was marveling at this, Charles suddenly paused, realizing that something was amiss.

Why does the diary say that once Triske dies, the future will still be the same old one?

If Trisker isn't dead, will the future be reversed?

Could it be that the Sentinel robot wasn't invented by Triske?

Was it his death that led to the appearance of the Sentinel robots?

Is it like this?

The diary states that Raven's DNA is key to the appearance of the Sentinel robots.

So, the leak of Raven's DNA was because of her assassination attempt on Triske?

"So this is Mystique's power?"

Tony, standing in front of the other diary, suddenly realized what was going on.

The name Mystique has been mentioned in my diary before.

But unlike Magneto, Cyclops, Storm, and others, Mystique's nickname doesn't reveal anything.

After all, "Mystique" means mysterious.

What kind of ability is mystery?

No one can deduce it.

However, the diary has now revealed a related spoiler.

The Sentinel robots' abilities are inspired by Mystique!

What about the Sentinel robots?

It can change its form depending on the different mutants.

So, is this Mystique's original ability?

Change its own shape?

It must be said that this ability is indeed a very good one.

Meanwhile, one of Tony's earlier guesses was also confirmed.

It seems that mutants are people who gain superpowers due to genetic mutations.

After all, the Sentinel robots' abilities come from Mystique's DNA!

In addition, the Sentinel robot also attracted Playboy's attention.

This kind of robot, which can adjust its shape according to a specific target, is a very advanced and interesting research topic for Tony.

Of course, in terms of functionality, this robot is also very powerful and has great potential.

If he could master it, Tony believed his Iron Man armor would become even more powerful!

After all, to be honest, his current Mark armor does have a rather narrow "coverage".

It can only handle certain specific situations, not all situations.

That's why Tony developed the "Anti-XX" series of armor.

But what if he mastered the technology for the Sentinel Robots to change their own shape?

There's no need for anything like "anti-XX," all you need is a suit of armor. (End of Chapter)
