After the arrival of the Red Devil and the others, they didn't reveal themselves immediately. Instead, they utilized Red Devil's ability to conceal in a different space, rendering them undetectable.

Following a commanding speech by Magneto, he was poised to assert dominance, but Nixon took the initiative to challenge him.

Red Devil, observing the situation, remained ready to intervene at any moment. If Magneto dared to carry out his threat, he was determined to save Nixon's life. However, the White Queen quickly detected an anomaly through her telepathic abilities, realizing it was Mystique in disguise.

Upon the Red Devil's discovery, he didn't let his guard down. Though aware that Mystique must have a plan, he couldn't afford to be negligent in protecting his partner.

Fortunately, the situation didn't escalate. Mystique exploited Magneto's distraction, injuring him with a plastic gun, removing his helmet, and subjecting him to the professor's control. Mystique emerged as a hero, saving the world.

Originally, the professor intended to let Magneto go, but due to Ivan's interference, variables arose. The tumult stirred up a whirlwind, captivating everyone's attention. Red Devil used his spatial ability to rescue Magneto from the turmoil.

Despite Magneto's extreme actions, it must be acknowledged that his dedication to mutants aligns with the beliefs of some mutants.

The surroundings underwent a sudden change. When Magneto opened his eyes, he found himself in an underground space. Besides the Red Devil and the three individuals in bodysuits, there were dozens of mutants, many of whom Magneto recognized as members of the original mutant brotherhood.

"Azazel, I didn't expect you to save me. I thought you would let me be arrested and locked up after our falling out," Magneto said with a smile, looking at the Red Devil.

"It's not me who wants to save you, but some of them," the Red Devil replied, gesturing towards the mutants nearby.

"I know there have been disagreements within the Brotherhood. Some of you support Magneto's path, while others think Mystique's approach is better. Now, make your choice. Those who agree with Magneto continue with him; those who don't can follow me to Mystique."

The mutants quickly divided into two groups, with the majority choosing to stay with Magneto. Only a dozen or so were willing to leave with the Red Devil.

Throwing a document to Magneto, the Red Devil stated, "This is the property of our mutant brotherhood. During your absence, I'll arranged for someone to manage it for you. I'll take one-tenth and use it to support our mutant siblings. The rest is for you."

Without waiting for Magneto's response, the Red Devil departed with the White Queen and the other mutants. Magneto, clutching the document, was filled with emotions. However, as he turned to the Brotherhood members choosing to follow him, he felt a renewed sense of determination.

Amidst the White House battlefield, the Mutant Brotherhood faced a split, but Ivan remained disinterested in the spectacle. Riding the waves, he stood on the sea, wielding a twisted steel bar in his left hand, piercing over a dozen unconscious holes into Logan. Excitement marked Logan's expression as he stood, his right hand pressed against his forehead, while the reality gem around Ivan's neck emitted a red light, enveloping Logan.

The posture of Ivan and Logan might be misconstrued as shameless by onlookers, but due to Ivan's magical safeguards, outsiders remained oblivious to the scene.

After an indeterminate duration, Ivan withdrew his hand, having obtained what he sought.

In another timeline, the professor and others argued that this method of altering the future to save mutants resembled self-deception. Kitty Pryde, in the original plot, sent mutants' consciousness back to the past multiple times, warning them of impending danger. However, this act didn't change the past but created another parallel space, another dimension.

Although not entirely futile, Ivan speculated that when Logan returned to the future in the original plot, the changes he observed were due to his body being destroyed, forcing his consciousness into another parallel space.

Impressed by Logan's contribution, Ivan decided to assist him. With a flick of his finger, the steel bars snapped, and Ivan removed them one by one.

Logan's rapid recovery astonished Ivan. With the impediment of the steel bars gone, Logan healed in just ten seconds, slowly opening his eyes.

Logan's first sight was Ivan's face, and despite its handsomeness, he recoiled when a big man got too close.

"What are you doing?" Logan exclaimed, breaking free from Ivan's grasp, putting distance between them.

"I said you're too dull. Am I that frightening? I saved you" Ivan retorted.

"Oh, it's you! Sorry, just woke up, and didn't get what was happening. But why are you here? Where's here? Why am I standing on water?" Logan questioned, realizing the unusual situation.

"Quit bickering; it's my magic. Red Queen will brief you on what transpired," Ivan explained, as Logan's watch projected an image recounting recent events. Ivan watched with interest.

Logan's face twitched, not because of the point at hand, but due to the tragedy of mutants in the future. Unexpectedly, he found himself ensnared by his future self, making a significant impact. Meanwhile, Ivan seemed more concerned about his dalliances with women, dismissing them as trivial matters.

"Alright, don't act like you're unwilling. If you didn't know any better, one would think you're constipated. Sure, you take advantage of the situation, but what's your plan now? Engaging in a one-night stand and messing around with someone's daughter? It's a bit unreasonable to pat yourself on the back and leave, not to mention not settling the bill," Ivan playfully continued, teasing Logan.

"Stop, stop! Let's not discuss this anymore. The most crucial issue now is the situation in the White House. If what I mentioned about the future is accurate, then..." Logan interrupted, unable to tolerate Ivan's indiscretion any longer, steering the conversation toward a different topic.

"God! God! The matter over there has been perfectly resolved. At the critical moment, Mystique attacked Magneto, who then threw himself into the street. Mystique emerged as the hero who saved the president. Nixon, being the president, is obligated to reciprocate. The reason for Magneto's extremism is the persecution of mutants by the little devil Trask, who used them for experiments. Today's events exposed everything, and he'll likely spend most of his remaining life in prison. On the surface, mutants should fare better in the future," Ivan explained.

"Then I'm relieved!" Logan sighed in relief.

"What's your plan now? Heading back to Skull Island?" Ivan inquired.

Logan shook his head, "No, I'll keep wandering. Life on the island is too peaceful, not suitable for someone like me."

"Well, I'll give you a ride for now, and you can handle the rest yourself," Ivan suggested. After he finished speaking, he placed a hand on Logan's shoulder, and they disappeared.

Logan experienced moments of unconsciousness throughout, and Apparation was more intense than plane turbulence. Fortunately, it didn't last long. When they reappeared, they were already in Washington. On the street, Ivan declined Logan's offer of a drink, and they parted ways.

Ivan, in no hurry to return, strolled alone, observing the hustle and bustle of people and vehicles. He sighed, realizing how swiftly the world had developed.

Continuing on foot, Ivan unexpectedly sensed a strange fluctuation near a hospital. It resembled magical fluctuations but had a distinct aura. The magical waves and the obscure aura were subtle, and only Ivan, with his strong mental strength, could detect them.

Ivan didn't anticipate encountering such an event during his stroll. Perhaps it was fate. If there was fate involved, he felt compelled to investigate and understand what was happening.

Ivan entered the hospital, using his senses to guide him until he pinpointed the target—a middle-aged doctor in a white coat. Curiosity sparked in Ivan as he observed the familiar figure.

A sense of recognition surfaced in Ivan's mind. He was certain that he had seen this person before, even though the memory was not deeply etched. It was likely just a passing encounter without forming a lasting connection.

For someone like Ivan, whose brain development reached an extraordinary level, memories were indelible. He closed his eyes slowly, piecing together the fragments of memory until a clear image emerged.

The scene unfolded in a concentration camp in Germany. Captain America led the Roaring Commando to triumph over the German soldiers, capturing the camp where everyone had been killed except for a lone baby. A field doctor and a female nurse had rescued the infant.

Despite the beard and what seemed like a bit of white hair on the sides, Ivan immediately recognized that the white hair was a disguise. The doctor appeared unchanged, showing no signs of aging.

Nearly thirty years had passed, and yet this person seemed immortal, harboring numerous secrets. Ivan uttered in realization, "Dr. Henry Morgan!"
