Chapter 229: Future Logan

Principal's Office.

Charles sat by the window and looked out at the scenery with a sad and empty expression on his face.

Hank was in the same situation, since he was the main focus of the recent mistake.

Charles had forcefully changed the memories of all the students present.

Even though he could not avoid Raven's warning, Charles did not change his mind.

Even so, the scene they just saw still made them unhappy.

On the other hand, Raven and Jack were having a lively conversation not too far away.

Raven talked about the school and how Elysium has developed over the years, as well as how happy she was to find other mutants like herself.

Logan, who was still not sure if he was in the right place, thought he might be dreaming because of how well-behaved Raven was.

This is Mystique we're talking about.

The ruthless and cold-blooded Mystique.

But now...

Logan couldn't connect her with words like heartless and ruthless.

It wasn't just Mystique; everything he encountered since coming to the school was completely different from what he remembered.

And most importantly, Professor Xavier could walk? And he hadn't lost his legs?

This was different from what Charles had said about the past.

No, it was completely different.

What on earth was going on?

Could it be because of him?!

Logan instinctively looked at Jack, who felt his gaze and turned to him.

"Surprised, huh?"

Jack glanced at the confused Raven. "This Mystique is completely different from what you remember. You must feel like you're dreaming."

"If we're talking about dreaming, it does feel like it a bit."

Logan put down his teacup, looked at Jack, stood up, and walked behind Charles to the window.

"Professor! I'm in trouble, and I have to ask for your help!"

"Hmm?"

Charles seemed to have recovered slightly, and looked up at him.

The way he looked at him as if he were an old friend made Charles's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Can... Can I see your memories?"

"I could not have asked for more. But I have to tell you, you would better be ready because what you are about to see will break your mind completely."

Hearing him say that, Charles got even more curious. He stood up and put his middle fingers on Logan's temples.

"Who is he?"

Hank, having sorted out his emotions, approached Jack and whispered,

"Why does he seem so friendly to Charles? He even called me 'Beast' earlier! How does he know my codename?"

"He also knows my codename, and I haven't used that name in a long time."

Raven nodded, her face serious. "And I've never seen him before."

"This... can be easily explained, it's a matter of time travel..."

"It's time travel! He's from the future."

Charles lowered his arms.

He had just browsed through Logan's memories in his mind, and it was extremely shocking.

He had even seen his own old self, sitting in a wheelchair, hiding in a dark castle, barely clinging to life.

Disaster.

Massacre.

The mutant apocalypse and also the end of humanity itself.

"The future?"

"Time travel is real?!"

When hearing Charles' words, Raven and Hank had different reactions.

Raven was a bit confused, as she didn't fully grasp the concept of the future.

On the other hand, Hank was shocked and looked at Logan with eyes full of expectation.

No scientist can resist the mystery of time travel, Especially when the evidence is right in front of him.

"So, you came for Raven!"

Charles took a deep breath and asked,

"But it seems like you've come to the wrong place."

"Yeah, I expected that."

Logan whispered quietly. He still was not sure why things had turned out this way.

The timing was right, 1973, just before the Paris Peace Accords happened.

Mystique would be there to kill the Sentinel developer Bolivar Trask, which would actually increase humanity's efforts to develop the Sentinels.

He had come back to this time after going through difficulties, all for the purpose of making sure this event would happen, but now...

He glanced at Raven. She was right here, which conflicted with what he knew of history.

Charles ignored Logan and walked past Jack, motioning for him to follow.

Jack got up and caught up with him, and the two of them reached the balcony of the office.

"Is this the reason you came back?" Charles asked.

Charles glanced at Raven inside the room, furrowing his brows.

"Because of Raven? And the Sentinels?"

"Well... you could say that, but it's not the whole reason,"

Jack shrugged, not denying it. In fact, he had almost forgotten about it.

Charles let out a sigh of relief, a slight smile forming on his lips.

He self-mockingly said,

"I've always wanted to protect her, but I never thought it would push her further away. The Sentinels... if she knew what Bolivar Trask was doing, she would truly stop at nothing to kill him."

"Well, Luckily, that won't happen now, right?"

Jack patted his shoulder, smiling at him.

"Okay, let's not keep thinking about this. You called me out here not just to talk about that, right?"

Charles looked at him with a complicated expression, thinking about his words.

"I saw the past in Logan's memories, but it seems..."

"Without my existence, right?"

Jack smiled and shrugged.

"I've told you before that I'm special, haven't I? The futures you saw were the ones that would happen if I didn't exist. But now, do you think we'll repeat the same mistakes?"

"Well... we probably won't,"

Charles twitched his lips, thinking about the Elysium floating in outer space.

If humans dared to create Sentinel robots to massacre mutants, not to mention what Erik would do, Emma would definitely have the power to bring down the entire human world.

The Sentinel situation would never happen.

"But if none of this will happen... where did he come from?"

Charles thought of another question, but he immediately came up with the answer.

It's a time paradox, a concept he was familiar with. If that's the case, then the apocalypse Logan originally came from should be another parallel universe without Jack.

"It seems you figured it out,"

Jack said, looking at Logan with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"But I'm curious about their universe. Maybe I should go and see."

"You want to go see?"

Charles was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, you should. If possible, help the mutants and humans in that world."

"Let's see how it goes. I'm mainly interested in seeing the top version of the Sentinel in the future,"

Jack shrugged and turned to walk back into the room.

"Hey, Logan, you probably understand your situation now, right?"

Jack looked at Logan, then glanced at Charles. Logan lowered his head to give up.

"Yes, I messed up. This isn't my universe."

While the two of them were having a private conversation, Logan had already asked Hank and learned that he had arrived in another parallel universe, not the past of his own universe.

"No, it's not a mess-up. You still have another chance!"

Jack mysteriously smiled and placed his hand on Logan's forehead.

A surge of power invaded his mind, and he instantly found the coordinates of another universe.
