Chapter 301: The Skrulls Were Stunned – Alex Is This Ridiculous!



“Thank goodness I just upgraded to Silver Alex, and my super hearing has significantly improved. Otherwise, I might not have caught that sound.”

Alex exhaled a faint breath of relief, his sharp eyes narrowing as he tilted his head upward.

His hearing had grown beyond terrifying. Every vibration of air, every faint scrape of metal, every whisper of breath—even the smallest disturbances now carried to him with flawless clarity. The entire planet was within his audito...

Chapter 149 – The Trouble After



What Henry didn’t say out loud was the obvious: if one or two people had actually died, Jean’s guilt would have skyrocketed. That guilt would have dragged her back sooner or later, problem solved.

Which meant, technically, he shouldn’t have stepped in to save the sharp-tongued blue-skinned woman currently glaring at him from the med bay bed. In the movie version of this mess, Mystique was already dead by now, wasn’t she?

Mystique’s eyes narrowed. “Then why di...

Chapter 300: The Culprit Actually Went to Space



Everyone in the war room had placed their confidence in Charles’s psychic abilities. To them, his mind was the ultimate weapon—sharp, limitless, and terrifying. When amplified through Cerebro, Charles’s mental power could, if he willed it, erase every thought on Earth in an instant. That was the scale they were working with. That was why, no matter how impossible the situation, everyone still felt reassured as long as Charles was the one searching.

But this time—

"That's right, Alex!"

Charles’s voice carried both weight and suppressed excitement, his calm demeanor barely concealing the triumph gleaming in his eyes. Beside him, Erik was no less animated. He clenched a fist with satisfaction, his tone brimming with pride.

"It's taken nearly twenty years," Erik said, his voice rough with the gravity of years spent in struggle, "but it was worth every second. The Soviet Union has agreed to support our nation-building!"

Chapter 148 – Retreat



Raven felt limp in Hank’s arms, her body heavy and yielding. He hadn’t even run the diagnostics yet, but he didn’t need a scan to know how bad the damage was. Mystique wasn’t the type to let anyone carry her unless she was half a breath from passing out.

And the truth was brutal: if that Kryptonian hadn’t intercepted and bled off the force, if he hadn’t dug that trench with his own body, Raven would’ve ended up a crimson smear against the nearest wall.

Chapter 297: Template Upgrade, Officially Advancing to Silver Alex!



February 16, 1983.

The frigid winds of the Volokolamsk Plain howled like a chorus of wolves, carrying with them the sting of ice and the heaviness of history. Deep in Moscow’s outskirts, buried beneath the shadow of an ancient, crumbling castle, the ground trembled violently—like the beating heart of some colossal beast.

“ROAR!”

A monstrous bellow tore through the underground like a hurricane, shaking loose rocks from the vaulted ceilings. The sound reverb...

Chapter 147 – The Kryptonian Scapegoat



The younger X-Men had rushed in at Professor Xavier’s word, but Mystique… Mystique hesitated. She knew better. Fighting Jean wasn’t the answer. Not today. And not when Charles’ secrets had helped light the fire now threatening to consume her.

So Mystique did the only thing she could: she stepped forward slowly, voice soft, palms open, as though approaching a wounded animal.

Jean didn’t lash out—at least not at first. Her breath came ragged, eyes glowing faint...

Chapter 296: Twenty Years and the Altered Future Trajectory



"How… how can this be?"

"How did you suddenly become… so powerful!"

A broken, trembling voice echoed weakly across the ruined ground.

It was Mr. Sinister. His once-proud figure now looked pitiful, his entire body battered and on the brink of collapse. His eyes, wide with disbelief, locked onto Alex as if staring at something inhuman.

Even at death’s edge, that gaze carried pure shock.

A month ago, though Alex had nearly killed him, it hadn’t ...

"Kill someone?"

Hank froze for half a beat, then his expression shifted as understanding dawned. His eyes narrowed, and then a flicker of excitement lit within them.
"Alex… don’t tell me you’ve found Mr. Sinister’s whereabouts?"

To the mutants, the Celestials were still like distant storms—looming, inevitable, but not yet upon them. Sinister, however, was here and now. His shadow was the one that pressed closest to their throats, an ever-present predator. He...

Chapter 146 – The Original Sin of Mutants

" We’re here.”

Hank McCoy’s calm baritone cut through the smoldering silence in the Blackbird. He shifted the controls with delicate precision, easing the jet into its descent.

The Blackbird needed no runway. Like everything else in the X-Men’s arsenal, it was decades ahead of anything the military could dream of. Where human engineers had struggled with vertical takeoff fighters back in the Cold War—machines with miserable payloads and laughable range—the X-Men had ...

"What does time travel feel like? It must be incredibly fascinating, right?"

"Hey, everyone, can we ask some more substantial questions first?"

The voices of the elders overlapped one another, their excitement palpable. After Alex confirmed his return was indeed from the future, the conference hall erupted like a beehive.

Mutants who were usually calm and composed now couldn’...

Chapter 293: Mission Accomplished, Return to the Original Timeline



From every angle Alex analyzed, all evidence pointed toward a single mastermind behind the disappearance of the mutants—Ikaris.

And yet, there was still one point that troubled everyone, even Alex himself.

“If it was truly Ikaris,” Emma Frost asked, her tone sharp, “then why couldn’t Charles or I detect it at all?”

The silence that followed was heavy.

“Could it be Druig?” someone finally muttered.

That suggestion sparked Alex’s mind...

Chapter 144 – A Call for Help



Henry wasn’t looking for trouble. But trouble, apparently, had his number on speed dial.

He was crouched in the garden, pulling weeds, when one of Audrey’s Jack Russells decided the soil needed redecorating. A flying spray of dirt hit Henry square in the face.

Audrey burst out laughing and—traitor that she was—made no effort to stop her dog.

Henry spat grit, wiping at his face, and considered how to phrase “dog stew” in French. Maybe tonight he could c...

“Goddammit! He hung up on me again!”

Mystique, still in her yellow-and-blue field uniform, nearly crushed the phone receiver in her grip. She glared at the dead line as if she could incinerate it with pure rage.

Across the Blackbird’s cabin, Hank McCoy—currently in his blue-furred Beast form—adjusted his glasses nervously. “Raven, are you really going to keep trying? With respect, calling him is… not our best option.”

Chapter 292: The Teleportation Plan Fails, All Eternals Captured



“What do you think you’re doing?”

Alex’s voice carried like a blade across the battlefield—cold, sharp, and absolute. He didn’t need to raise his tone; the sheer contempt dripping from his words was enough to make Druig falter.

The Eternal’s confidence cracked instantly.

Gulp.

A bead of sweat rolled down Druig’s temple. His mind, capable of bending the will of armies, suddenly felt fragile under Alex’s gaze—as if every wall he had built ...

Whoosh!

The sound of a sonic boom ripped through the battlefield as a blurred shadow shot forward like lightning.

The Eternals barely had time to blink before the shadow collided violently with Ikaris.

Boom!

The impact shook the very ground beneath them. Ikaris was blasted away like a ragdoll, crashing through a mountain in the distance, tearing it apart and leaving a colossal hole in its side.

Dust and rubble rained down as silence fell for a heartb...

A crippled shuttle drifting in orbit. Should Henry step in?

Not a chance.

He hadn’t gone up there to light fireworks for free publicity, and as long as that thing didn’t come crashing down on his plane, he wasn’t about to play the hero.

So he shut the window, sat back down, and calmly flipped open War and Peace again.

The other passengers lost interest soon enough too. A few snapped some photos, then returned to their drinks, their books, or their in-...

Chapter 142 – Forced Vacation



When the last UNICEF field report was finally filed, both Audrey Hepburn and Henry let out a long, collective sigh of relief.

Since late January, they had been on the road nonstop—three and a half months of back-to-back trips, endless inspections, press conferences, and relief missions. By the time May rolled around, even Hepburn was ordered to take a mandatory break.

Not because she wanted it, but because the UN had hit its limit. Peacekeeping forces were stretched to...

A charity gala couldn’t last forever. Money raised had to be spent. So, once the New Year’s holiday ended, UNICEF’s relief programs went back into motion.

With Henry handling logistics and paperwork, Audrey Hepburn threw herself into the work with a stamina that left even the younger staff stunned. She never stopped moving—visiting project sites across Africa, South Asia, Central America, and South America, often joining the field operations herself.

The death of Howard Stark dominated the news cycle for days. Talk shows, late-night hosts, papers, TV broadcasts—every headline was stamped with his name, as if the world intended to stretch this story all the way into next year.

But within the week, the spotlight shifted. A far bigger story broke, one that made even Howard Stark’s death feel like yesterday’s gossip.

On December 25th, 1991, the president of the Red Empire announced his resignation. By the next day...

"Ajak, please!"

Ikaris’s voice rang out, heavy with desperation yet sharpened by unyielding resolve. His expression grew darker by the second as he pleaded with his leader one last time, the weight of Arishem’s command pressing down on his very soul.

"Ajak, you might not understand now," Ajak replied, her tone calm but unwavering, "but our purpose isn’t just about killing and destruction. We were made to bring more than death. We can also bring hope to others."

The Arandidak Mountains.

A desolate and rugged range where jagged peaks cut the sky like serrated blades. Hidden deep within was a broad valley, flat enough to host a gathering yet so remote that even the most adventurous hikers rarely set foot here.

For centuries, the valley had been nothing but an untouched scar of wilderness—until today.

Now, ten figures stood in its heart.

Men and women, tall and short, armored and robed. Their appearances varied wild...

In the following days, Alex became the 2016 Alex’s hidden trump card, tucked away deep within the King of Krakoa’s inner sanctum.

Aside from the 2016 Alex and a handful of trusted figures, no one knew where Alex was being kept.

Although Charles spoke lightly, the weight behind his words was unmistakable. These were not ordinary machines but intelligent robots, deliberately left behind by the mutants to safeguard the plan’s success. Even a fool could guess that their power must have been extraordinary.

At the very least—

Powerful enough that the mutants could confidently conclude they were capable of contending with beings on the level of the Eternals.

Christmas in New York was supposed to be about family, lovers, and holiday cheer.
Not at Stark Tower.

Instead of champagne and mistletoe, the upper floors blazed with fluorescent lights. Accounting, tax, and legal teams were pulling marathon shifts. Executives from every Stark subsidiary had flown in, dragging crates of financial reports with them. The building felt less like a tech empire and more like a war bunker.

And at the very top—behind the massive doors of t...

Pillars lined the edges of the chamber, each one carved with markings that pulsed faintly in rhythm with the island itself. For a place built to represent both sanctuary and power, it radiated an almost sacred majesty.<...
