"Charles, everything will change, because it was you and Erik who sent me back here!"
Logan said with a serious expression, facing Professor X's question.
"Alright, you've convinced me! But my abilities haven't recovered yet, so finding Raven will be quite difficult."
The serum's suppressive effect on the Mutant gene couldn't be completely eliminated in a short time.
"Logan, are future me and Erik still friends?"
The Professor asked Logan this question.
"You are both Mutant pioneers, who took different paths to achieve the dreams in your hearts. However, when facing the crisis of extinction, you still fought side-by-side until the very end."
Logan was also aware of the decades of love-hate relationship between the Professor and Magneto.
"Alright! We need to release Erik from the prison under The Pentagon. One more person means one more strength."
At this moment, the Professor still didn't understand Shen Mu's attitude, or if he was willing to help.
After all, he had only heard from Logan that he and Shen Mu would be friends in the future, but he didn't know Shen Mu now.
Moreover, this matter concerned the survival of Mutants, and he couldn't possibly place his hope on a Dragon who wasn't a Mutant, or even human, and whose origins were unknown.
What Logan said was right; he and Magneto represented two different attitudes towards Mutant survival.
He believed that Mutants could achieve peaceful coexistence with humans.
Erik, on the other hand, was more radical; he wanted to use violent means to make the World recognize Mutants, fear the power of Mutants, and thus acknowledge their status.
It was hard to say who was right or wrong between the two of them, or perhaps both were wrong, because neither of their chosen paths was viable.
Mutants possessed power that even they found hard to estimate. They could completely leave Earth, like the Inhumans once did, and recreate a home on the Moon or elsewhere.
A country entirely belonging to Mutants.
"But rescuing Erik from the heavily guarded underground prison of The Pentagon is not a simple task."
"If handled improperly and a disturbance is caused, then we will be facing over twenty-five thousand military police guards."
"We need to plan carefully before taking action."
The Professor took out a map, which was the architectural design of The Pentagon.
Although differences in philosophy had led them to take different paths, Charles still hoped in his heart for Erik, who had built the Mutant school with him, to return.
"I say, why are you going to such great lengths!"
"It's just about getting Lao Wan out of prison, that's not a difficult thing."
Just as the three of them were actively discussing the action plan, Shen Mu, who was beside them, said lazily.
"???"
Immediately, both the Professor and Hank looked puzzled.
Only Logan's face showed a look of surprise.
"Shen, I knew it. There was a reason why future Charles told me to find you first."
He knew that Shen Mu possessed immeasurable power; even Jean, who would awaken the Phoenix Force in the future, couldn't do anything to him.
Now, hearing Shen Mu's words, he knew that Shen Mu was probably going to make a move!
"Your Excellency Dragon, if you have a method, why not tell us."
The Professor now wanted to see what kind of trick Shen Mu, this Dragon, had up his sleeve.
"No need to hear, just watch!"
Saying that, Shen Mu extended his left claw, wearing a Sling Ring. Combining the design drawing and photos he had just seen in his mind, he lazily drew a circle in front of him with his tail.
Immediately, the Professor and the others saw the golden portal that had brought Shen Mu into their Xavier Institute reappear!
And looking through the portal, on the other side was a White figure sitting on the ground with his back to them.
Even the surrounding space was plain white, and above his head was a giant glass shield.
"Erik!"
The Professor looked at the figure's back and unconsciously called out.
Hearing the movement, Magneto slowly turned around, his face showing an even more puzzled expression than theirs as he slowly turned.
"Charles?"
"What's going on? Is this the power of a new compatriot?"
After confirming that the person beyond the glowing circle was indeed his good friend Professor X, Magneto asked the question in his heart.
"Erik, come out first, then we'll talk."
Knowing that it wasn't the time for small talk, the Professor prepared to have Erik escape the cell first.
With a skeptical attitude, Magneto cautiously stepped through the glowing circle. After confirming that he had indeed appeared in Xavier Institute, Magneto's face showed a complex expression.
He had never imagined that he would so easily escape the prison that had held him for so long.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Shen Mu sitting nearby, drinking, and his eyes narrowed sharply.
He knew the Professor and Beast Hank too well; it was impossible for them to possess such interdimensional means.
As for Logan, who wasn't yet Wolverine, he knew it was impossible even without thinking.
So, eliminating all impossibilities, the remaining answer was obvious!
"Who are you? Are you also a Mutant?"
Erik wasn't particularly surprised by Shen Mu's appearance; after all, he had seen many Mutant compatriots!
Perhaps Shen Mu was just a completely awakened anomaly.
"No, no, no! As you can see, I am a genuine Dragon, not a genetic experiment of some guys."
Shen Mu's seemingly casual remark stirred a different feeling in Erik's heart.
As a Mutant, he had always believed that this innate ability was a gift from Heaven.
Mutants should be the pioneers leading human evolution.
But Shen Mu's words seemed to reveal another secret unknown to them.
However, seeing Shen Mu's demeanor, he probably wasn't going to say more, so Erik didn't show too much emotion.
The Professor beside him was also thoughtful.
Just like one of the nine philosophical dilemmas of the World: "Who am I?" "Where do I come from?" "Where am I going?"
Ordinary people want to understand the root of their existence, not to mention Mutants.
The Professor also didn't know the meaning of their Mutant existence.
After speaking, Shen Mu no longer paid attention to them, because his mind was completely drawn to the system's treasure chest charging!
The treasure chest's charging had been relatively slow after the "Days of Future Past" event began.
However, after he released Erik from the prison, the charging progress suddenly increased significantly.
"Charles, I think you must have run into trouble again! Otherwise, with your personality, you definitely wouldn't have rescued me."
Lao Wan understood his old friend very well; he always dreamed some unrealistic dreams.
"That's right, we need to find Raven, because she is connected to the future fate of us Mutants?"
"??"
Hearing his friend's words, Magneto was a little surprised. Since when could one person influence the fate of an entire race!
Even if there was, Magneto believed it would be himself or Charles opposite him.
