Chapter 77: Old Charles's Beware and Gifts
Charles didn't want to accept another inheritance of himself, but Ethan was right, he knew what the future would hold from Wolverine Logan.
The Sentinel Project, the Civil War of the Mutants, and the Genetic Food Extermination Mutant Project, none of them are easy to solve, and they are simply not enough with their current strength.
He thought that his abilities had been developed to a very high level, and now he knew how powerful his future self really was through Logan's memories.
Looking at the small box in front of him, Charles finally nodded and decided to accept the inheritance.
Of course, this also means that he has a heavy responsibility, and he must inherit another legacy of himself, so that the mutants of this world can live a better life, and not go to extinction again.
"What should I do?"
Ethan stretched out his hand, and the gorgeous dazzling but not dazzling magic brilliance wrapped around his outstretched arm, and finally turned into a mysterious magic symbol, as the magic array in Ethan's hand kept turning to correspond, the ordinary locket seemed to have been opened by some mechanism, and made a clicking sound.
In fact, this is a magic version of the combination lock, in addition to the correct password, it must also use the magic with Ethan's personal spirit imprint to open.
In other words, no one but Ethan could open the box - a violent opening would, of course, but that would completely destroy the contents.
With the right energy entered into the correct password, this seemingly ordinary small box was finally opened, and the lid of the box automatically separated to both sides, and then a huge spiritual power gushed out from it, but this spiritual power did not spread directly, but finally condensed into a ball, turning into a half-virtual and half-real figure.
"Charles?"
Logan looked at the familiar figure and fell into shock, he remembered that Ethan had told him that Charles had completely cut off his 'personality', and all that was contained here was Charles's mental power and huge knowledge and memory, which were pure materials that could ensure the absorption of the heir without side effects.
But why did this mental force end up like Charles? Isn't this spiritual force self-conscious?
Ethan looked at the old professor in front of him, the bald old man probably swept away, and everyone present except Ethan had a feeling that the whole body was being seen through by this strange old man.
"I know. ”
Ethan, who pouted, knew in his heart that it was impossible for Charles to trust himself unreservedly, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a few minutes at that time, and Charles couldn't be sure what kind of person Ethan was, so it was normal for him to leave an insurance policy in his inheritance.
"Thank you, Ethan. ”
He had seen his younger self and was satisfied to know that the successor Ethan was looking for for him was still himself, and that he was still young.
The other self can receive his own spiritual power completely without side effects, and that knowledge is also very suitable for his own use, so it can be said that there is no better choice than this.
"I can't be around for long, so let's get down to business. ”
Turning his head to look at his younger self, old Charles nodded at him: "Don't worry, 'I' will soon dissipate completely, and accepting my power will not cause you any trouble, and after you accept it, you will understand everything." ”
Young Charles chose to believe 'himself' and he simply asked what should be done.
"Don't do anything, empty your brain and open your heart. ”
After young Charles took a deep breath to indicate that he was ready, the old Charles of the spirit body completely collapsed and turned into a ball of pure spiritual energy, and then poured into the body of young Charles.
As the old Charles said, the young Professor Charles didn't feel anything uncomfortable, and then he knew the reason from the memories and knowledge he had just gotten, and he understood everything as it was.
Including Ethan suddenly finding Charles and Logan Sr., proposing to restore Charles and Logan, who were in very poor condition at the time, and even arranging a good enough escape for them, etc.
Charles Sr. refused to live because of the 'mistakes' he had made, and he chose to die. At the same time, he handed over his huge spiritual energy and decades of knowledge and memory to Ethan as an inheritance, hoping that he would choose a suitable successor.
These corresponded to what Logan had gotten earlier, and he knew what was going on.
Old Charles is not a hairy boy after all, and he will not trust a stranger casually, although he did not feel any malice in Ethan, but there is still a proper sense of precaution.
He left a little spiritual imprint in his legacy, which was only triggered when the spiritual energy was released, and then Charles's personality would be 'resurrected' for a short time to determine what was going on.
If Ethan fulfills his promise and finds a qualified heir, the short-lived resurrected old Charles will do nothing but quietly choose to dissipate and then give the inheritance to the heir.
If Ethan is trying to use his spiritual power to do something bad to threaten the world, old Charles will not be polite, even if he can't use his remaining spiritual power to erase Ethan, he will come and blow up and destroy all the inheritance, so as to avoid being used by evil people.
Of course, the elder Charles had fully considered the various circumstances, and Ethan might run into some trouble and have to use his strength to save the day. This is also the reason why he retains his personality in the depths of his mental power, so that he can make correct judgments instead of mechanically executing a command.
It turned out that Ethan's moral standard was above the passing line, and he fulfilled his promise, so the old Charles expressed his sincere gratitude to Ethan, and the young Charles also knew that the old Charles specially left a gift for Ethan.
According to the method in 'memory', he stretched out his hand and condensed a ball of pure spiritual power into his hand, which was a mass of power that had not been absorbed and fused by him - since the spiritual power of the two was completely identical, as soon as the spiritual energy of old Charles entered his body, it was perfectly absorbed and fused by him.
Only this part is cut off separately. If he wants to absorb it, of course he can do it, but it will take a little time. However, the elder Charles obviously had confidence in 'himself', and did not do any additional preventive work, let alone cut off this part of the energy in advance before it was absorbed.
The elder Charles wanted his younger self to befriend Ethan, because he had affirmed Ethan's excellent character, and he could also feel that Ethan had become stronger, and he would become a strong reinforcement for 'himself'.
"It's yours. ”
Ethan saw this ball of pure spiritual energy in Charles's hand and understood what was going on.
sighed in his heart that old Charles was a shrewd mess, doing all kinds of prevention, and at the same time giving benefits immediately after completing the entrustment, so that Ethan would not be dissatisfied because of his previous vigilance, and at the same time had some involvement with this young Charles, and in the future, this Charles was in trouble, and it was difficult for him to refuse out of affection.
Although he thought of this, Ethan would not refuse this reward, not to mention Charles's character and strength, there is nothing wrong with making friends.
took over this spiritual power, and it was directly absorbed into his body. Although this spiritual power is pure energy, it will take some time to be completely absorbed by Ethan, and it is currently only stored in Ethan's body.
At the same time, he also discovered that there was also an additional bonus wrapped in the spiritual power, which was part of Charles's knowledge - no memory, just pure knowledge.
The old professor has been engaged in research for decades, and the black technology products in the X-Men base are no less than Tony Stark's, especially the problems that cannot be solved by many scientific experiments, he can solve the curve through his ability to get better experimental results, so the old Charles has technology and knowledge far ahead of the times.
Now that these have been given to Ethan, this is even more important than that pure spiritual power.
"Well, this is a debt of favor. ”
But interpersonal communication is like this: you help me, I help you, help and help you become an iron buddy, unilateral continuous paying, now even parents may not be able to do it.
Seeing Ethan accept the 'return', young Charles thanked Ethan again. This time it's not for old Charles, but for himself.
He had actually received great benefits, and it was like a pie in the sky suddenly falling into his hands. Although I understand that this is because it is the self of another time and space entrusted to Ethan, so the other party will find him.
But the memories he got from Logan made him understand that there were countless cosmic planes waiting for Ethan to go to, and he didn't know how many of himself existed in them, and there was a big luck factor in his ability to take over this inheritance, after all, it was the mage in front of him who decided who would take over......
"Ahem, I'm sorry, but I'm still a little unable to accept the fact that there are mages in this world. ”
Actually, there is a wizard in the X-Men, but that is in the Marvel comic universe. In that world, Stormgirl is a wizard.
However, in the setting of the movie world, Storm Girl is a pure mutant and does not have an additional mage status.
"It doesn't matter, not every world has spellcasters. ”
At this point, the young Professor X and Magneto confirmed that they were indeed friends sitting across from each other, and Eric, who had been nervous, finally relaxed, and then he became curious about what Charles knew.
Charles, who has taken over all the memories completely, finally knows a lot of difficulties that need to be faced in the future. In addition to what he knew before, he also knew about some troubles that Logan hadn't experienced.
"It was a thrilling, exciting, and difficult experience. ”
