Chapter 392: Chapter 392
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.

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.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"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.
