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

Chapter 298 Professor X: I have lost all hope for humanity!

"Is this our future?"

"I did it!"

Charles felt a surge of excitement; the method described in the diary had truly worked.

The seemingly impossible feat of traveling back to the future by viewing memories has actually been accomplished!

It truly lives up to its reputation as a magical diary capable of predicting the future.

Charles couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Now that things have come to this, everything predicted in the diary has happened with uncanny accuracy, without the slightest deviation.

Charles's attitude toward his diary had long since undergone a subtle but significant change.

Now, I believe it completely, without the slightest doubt.

In this slight excitement, Charles began to cautiously observe his surroundings.

But all the mutants were on high alert, their faces extremely serious and solemn.

They are on guard against the arrival of the sentinel robots.

A guy who looks exactly like Wolverine is lying on a platform, being manipulated by a girl using her powers.

Without a doubt, that girl must be Phantom Cat.

The guy lying on the platform is definitely Wolverine from fifty years in the future.

Good heavens, that guy looks exactly the same as he did fifty years ago.

There was absolutely no change.

Charles's gaze slowly swept across the room again, and an elderly man in a wheelchair quickly caught his attention.

Charles realized in a second that it was himself.

What I will be like 50 years from now!

Without further ado, Charles quickly approached the elderly Charles.

"Charles?"

Old Charles slowly opened his mouth and greeted Charles.

At this moment, Charles was connected to the future through Wolverine's consciousness, making him a ghost-like figure to everyone present, invisible to all.

But the elderly Charles immediately noticed Charles's presence and initiated a communication with him.

It must be said that this mental strength is truly remarkable.

"Charles!"

Charles was even more excited and immediately greeted his future self.

An old man named Charles couldn't help but smile.

My past self has come out; it seems the plan to reverse the future is working.

Whether it will succeed or not is still unknown, but at least it's a good start.

This is a good thing.

"So, is this how it ends for us?"

Charles glanced around, his resolve wavering somewhat. "Eric is right, we are indeed too soft-hearted."

"Unless we can create a different future," the elderly Charles said calmly.

"Do you still have faith in humanity?"

Charles was quite surprised by the authenticity.

The future has become the end of mutants, mutants are about to be wiped out by humans, and you still have hope?

"If a person makes a mistake once and loses their way, it doesn't mean they'll be lost forever."

The elderly Charles uttered this famous quote to Charles.

"Yeah?"

Why don't I feel that way?

Charles laughed, as if he had heard a funny joke.

The laughter was tinged with boundless disappointment and bitterness, as well as extreme self-mockery.

If it were my past self, I might actually have believed my future self's "nonsense".

But what about now?

Charles learned more about the future through his diary.

Mutants have faced extinction crises more than once!

Besides the Sentinel robots, there was the time with Stryker's son, and the time when Stryker used the Master of Illusions to control his future self.

God knows if there's anything else besides these!

Is this what you call "once in a while"?

Wolverine chose to reverse the future because mutants were on the verge of extinction by humans, but what was the result?

The future has been successfully reversed, but the fate of mutants to be extinct remains unchanged!

Is this what they call "not being lost for life"?

That's really laughable.

I regret that I used to have unrealistic fantasies, hoping that mutants and humans could live together peacefully and become a loving family.

You're overthinking it!

What about my future self?

Like my former self, I am far too optimistic about humanity and overestimate their abilities.

But Charles has now come to his senses.

He has seen the truth and the true face of humanity through countless bloody examples.

Those guys will suppress mutants to the death if they have even the slightest chance; there's no way to change that.

This is them!

"I understand, I've been through that stage myself."

Older Charles, unaware of Charles's thoughts, continued to comfort him.

We hope that the other party can regain their faith in humanity.

Under normal circumstances, with Charles's persuasive skills, which are in no way inferior to Naruto's, convincing his past self would be no problem.

But now?

The Charles of the past is not the Charles of the past.

Old Charles rambled on and on, but it didn't change his mind.

"Charles, I don't have time to discuss this. I need to stop Eric."

"He intends to kill Raven, and I am not yet in control of my abilities; I cannot stop him."

Charles stopped talking nonsense with the elderly Charles and directly stated his purpose to him.

The elderly Charles then began to help Charles resolve his inner conflicts.

Charles's inner conflict is purely a psychological issue and does not involve any hopes for humanity.

With the guidance of his elder Charles, Charles gradually came to understand and let go of his worries.

The problem that had been weighing on my mind for years has finally been swept away!

It must be said, as expected of elderly Charles, he's really sixty.

Swish!

Having achieved his desired outcome, Charles didn't linger in the future and withdrew from Wolverine's mind.

Wolverine, who was facing him, immediately sensed that Charles in front of him was different.

It's completely different now.

"It seems Professor X is back."

A satisfied and pleased smile also appeared on Wolverine's lips.

"I have to come back."

Charles said firmly, "For Raven!"

"professor!"

Hank appeared at the door at some point, and seeing Charles's current state, he exclaimed with excitement and relief.

How long has it been?

He always hoped that Charles could get over his inner conflict and that the old Charles could come back.

But each attempt ended in failure.

But now?

Charles is really back!

"Hank, do you remember where my wheelchair is?"

"I think I might need your help to find it."

Charles said to Hank with a smile.

"Of course, that's no problem."

Hank quickly replied, then turned and ran off in a flurry.

They dug out Charles's wheelchair, which had been gathering dust in the corner, wiped it clean, and pushed it back in front of Charles.

Seeing Charles back in his wheelchair, Hank felt a sense of peace he had never known before.

Professor, you're really back!

"Let's get ready, we're going to pick Raven up."

After experiencing the wheelchair for the first time in a long time, Charles greeted Hank Wolverine and Charles.

The two stopped talking and returned to their respective rooms to rest.

About two hours later, the mutants regrouped.

"Am I just imagining things? You seem like a completely different person, Charles."

Eric immediately noticed Charles's change.

He looked Charles up and down with some surprise and asked a question.

How could Charles have changed so much in just a few hours?

If Charles was previously listless, like an addict, then...

At this moment, Charles seemed to have successfully quit drugs and been reborn.

So, what exactly happened in those few short hours after they returned?

Why would something cause such a drastic change in a person?

Eric was genuinely puzzled and couldn't understand it.

"Is that so? Perhaps, I am not the same person I used to be."

Charles replied meaningfully.

His attitude towards Eric had actually changed somewhat without him realizing it.

He used to think Eric was very extreme and that he disagreed with everything he did.

But now?

Charles also gained a bit more understanding of Eric.

"Alright, let's go!"

Without further delay, Charles called out to everyone present.

Everyone boarded the Blackbird fighter jets and set off in a flurry of activity once again.

"This meeting has a historical name: the 'Paris Agreement,' where the leaders of the two countries will formally sign a peace agreement."

"Unlike previous peace negotiations, this peace agreement was successfully signed, and the war has come to an end."

"But for us, this is just the beginning."

"Trek will also be attending this meeting. Raven disguised herself as a Vietnamese officer and infiltrated the meeting, where she successfully assassinated Tresk."

"They were then captured by the military, subjected to inhumane experiments, and used as a basis to develop the Sentinel robot."

"What we need to do next is simple: infiltrate the meeting and stop Raven."

"Now that Charles has regained his abilities, this mission is actually quite simple for us."

Hank continued to act as the pilot in the Blackbird fighter jet as always.

Charles, Eric, and Wolverine then began reviewing their operation plan.

They were all full of confidence.

Even if Charles hadn't recovered his abilities before, Eric alone could have easily completed this task back then.

After all, Eric's abilities are indeed a cheat code for human society.

Not to mention, Charles's abilities have now been restored.

With these double safeguards in place, the risk of failure for this mission is even less likely.

"I have to say, I never expected that we would be able to work together again."

Eric couldn't help but sigh.

Since their split during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the two have been on opposing sides.

They've clashed countless times, both openly and secretly.

Who would have thought that one day, this "old time" would return again?

"Everyone, we'll be there soon."

Hank's warning came from ahead, and the mutants perked up, ready to begin their operation.

……

At the same time.

Royal Grand Hotel.

With an hour to go before the peace conference officially began, almost all the political leaders from the United States and Vietnam had arrived.

Some of the officers from the Yue Kingdom gathered temporarily in a special reception room, chatting and laughing.

What no one knew was that one of the Vietnamese officers was no longer the same person!

"The meeting will begin in one hour."

"We have prepared a private room for your distinguished guests upstairs."

On the corridor leading to the conference room, Triske strode briskly, led by two assistants.

His next task was to give a strong presentation on his Sentinel Robot project to Vietnamese dignitaries.

boom!

The door was pushed open, and Triske strode in.

Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for coming.

"First of all, congratulations on winning the war."

"I know you're going to take some photos and shake hands next, so I won't waste your time and will get straight to the point."

"A new enemy has emerged."

Triske then began to preach the horrors and threats of mutants to a group of Vietnamese political figures.

Then he vigorously promoted his Sentinel Robot project to the public.

However, when the Sentinel robot was demonstrating its ability to automatically identify the X-gene and lock onto mutants, its "mutant detector" suddenly sounded an alarm.

This greatly surprised Triske and the Vietnamese dignitaries in the reception room. What does this mean?

A mutant has infiltrated this reception room!

A group of people immediately rushed forward and captured the Vietnamese officer who had been identified by the detector.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

I swear.

The Vietnamese officer was initially giving an innocent explanation.

But as he was talking, blue "waves" suddenly began to appear on his body.

Everyone present immediately felt a blur before their eyes.

The original Yue officer disappeared, and a woman with blue skin appeared!

Raven makes a dazzling appearance.

"Grab her!"

"Grab her quickly!"
