Go back in time.

Mawson's consciousness wandered in the river of time, and then he found the boy he wanted to find with precision.

Time returned to normal, and Mawson's consciousness erased the boy's soul and merged with his body.

Time 1900.

Sebastian Shaw.

The famous Black Emperor in the future was just a young child at this time.

He didn't notice anything abnormal in his body, and Sebastian naturally hadn't awakened the X gene in his body at this time, which was the key to Mosen's ability to easily erase his soul consciousness.

It's not that Mawson didn't think about it, and directly went back to 8,000 years ago, when he was still in his infancy, when he was still in his infancy.

If that's the case, he can easily obtain the ability of the Apocalypse, and then borrow the regular tetrahedron to strengthen himself step by step, reaching or surpassing the Apocalypse.

But after thinking about it, Mawson still abandoned this idea, he can only go back in time now, not speed up time, and going back to 8,000 years ago means that he will have to wait a long time to come to the period when mutants appear frequently.

After all, the evolution and iteration of genes takes time to accumulate.

This is something that Mawson cannot change either.

If he doesn't want to wait here, he can also choose to enter other worlds through the tetrahedron.

That way, when he returns to this world, the world itself will correct the time to the original point.

It's just that there is no such person as Apocalypse in that node.

But there are significant drawbacks to doing so.

The timeline that affects this world is secondary, and more importantly, Mawson is not sure that he will be able to return once he leaves here.

After all, for now, the mutant universe is the most suitable for Mawson.

So, after much thought, he found Sebastian.

After awakening his abilities, Sebastian can absorb any form of energy he comes into contact with, including but not limited to kinetic energy, thermal radiation, and so on.

The absorbed energy is transformed and can be released in a burst form.

Sebastian does not produce powerful energy, but he is equivalent to an alternative form of battery.

This reminded Mo Sen of him before, who also installed an energy core on his chest, saved up in advance, and exploded afterwards.

This ability is relatively powerful, but the only drawback is that the defense against mind control is extremely poor, and it is easy for mind controllers to interfere with the spirit and control the body.

But Mawson is not worried about this.

The body he occupies, the soul is gone, the spirit is dead, and it is his soul that controls the body.

The mental abilities of Professor X and others can affect humans and animals, but what is Mawson?

A powerful soul wandering.

The soul power was not strong enough to even discover Mawson.

Sebastian lived in a wealthy family, and Mawson did not show much of the difference from ordinary people, and he slowly developed according to the trajectory of normal people's lives.

Nourished by the soul, the child-like body becomes stronger and stronger.

At the beginning of the 20th century, it was a magical era, when ignorance and civilization alternated, and the world developed at an astonishing rate.

During this time, Mawson has been looking for the X gene hidden inside the body.

He wanted to activate this gene in advance.

This is a very important process for Mawson, and in the process of activation, he may be able to discover the secret behind the X gene.

A simple genetic energy can actually pry the most basic rules of the world.

In Mawson's view, the X gene is like turning a powerful origin treasure into countless fragments, and then dispersed into the universe.

These fragments, or particles, when they meet a suitable host, will bind to some kind of gene in their body.

After the combination, the so-called X gene awakened, and ordinary people evolved into mutants.

And the evolution of human beings over thousands of years is not the X gene, but the adaptation to this special energy.

Perhaps these energies are everywhere, and all people lack is the opportunity to bond with them.

The above is just a little conjecture of Mawson at this stage, and the specific needs to be discovered by him in the process of awakening.

He used himself as an experiment, trying to activate the X gene in his body with various stimuli.

Through continuous experimentation, Mawson still found that emotions are indeed the best way to activate the X gene.

And among all human emotions, the most direct and intense expression is fear and anger, and then pain, and so on.

This is also why in many subsequent accounts, the awakening of mutants is accompanied by some kind of special emotional oppression.

Their respective experiences led to this oppression, which in turn catalyzed the awakening of the X gene, and after the awakening, they became cynical or radical because of their past experiences.

This also sowed a crisis for the fate of mutants in the future.

Everything is like a cycle.

One day 5 years later, Sebastian, who was less than 10 years old, no, it should be said that Mawson, awakened the X gene of his physical fitness in advance.

Darkly, Mawson felt as if he had opened some kind of mysterious pathway, a feeling very similar to when he first held the Space Gem.

The X gene is not a weapon.

It's the key.

The key to open and connect to the unknown energy.

While the other children were still frolicking in the fields, Mawson came to a cliff alone.

There is a distance of about six or seven meters from here to the ground, and ordinary people will definitely be injured if they fall down, and if they are unlucky, they may even die.

After 5 years of nourishment, although Mosen's current body is still like a child, his own quality and physical fitness have surpassed that of normal adults.

Normal people may need to get used to it for a long time to be able to control this ability in their body, but for Mawson, he knew everything in the moment after awakening the ability.

Jump off the cliff.

The body landed firmly on the ground.

The powerful impact force is transmitted deep into the body along the calves of the feet, and then this energy gathers together and is in a state of explosiveness at any time.

When the ability is used, the X gene in the body becomes extremely active, and something seems to be attracted to the void.

But these unknown things did not merge into Mawson's body, but dissipated after a circle on the outside of his body.

"What's that?"

Mawson frowned slightly.

He felt as if he was getting closer to the truth of the matter.

"I need more research samples and more mutants to look at."

An idea came to his mind, and Mawson knew what he was going to do next.

He turned around and saw a child on a hillside not far away, staring at him in amazement.

Obviously, he saw the amazing jump that Mawson had just made.

It didn't take long for messages about Sebastian to spread throughout the town.

In desperation, the family had no choice but to move out of here in a hurry.

Time flew by, and soon it was 1914.

In this year, World War I broke out.

And after entering the army, Mawson also met two other mutants here.

Logan and Victor!
