Pentagon, United States of America.
Around the symbolically powerful roundtable sat top-level figures from various departments—the military, the CIA, the FBI, and more.
Each of them was a titan in their own right—people whose very presence could shake the nation three times over.
Moments ago, an emergency meeting had been convened, and a unanimous decision reached.
"The Soviets share our concerns. We will jointly launch a strike against the mutants. Onc...

“Alex!”
“No!”
Charles's face twisted in pain as he let out a broken cry.
In that moment, everything became clear—Alex had killed Shaw!
All this time, Charles had known Erik’s lifelong goal was to kill Shaw, so he'd kept his attention focused solely on Erik.
But in the end, it wasn’t Erik who pulled the trigger. It was Alex, the one he had always believed would make a different choice.
Charles felt deeply pained, disappointed—fu...

“You’re not seriously going to gang up on me, are you?”
“Have some honor, will you?”
When Alex casually dusted off his hands and started walking again, completely unbothered, the guy with the braid finally lost his cool.
He actually yelled those words at Alex at the top of his lungs.
Little did he know—Alex had never planned to lay a hand on him in the first place.
Among all the mutants on Sebastian Shaw’s side, the braided guy was easi...

Alex had long since been marked as a high-level threat by the Hellfire Club. Even while locked in battle with others, not a single member of the Club dared take their eyes off him.
Everyone was watching his every move.
So the moment Alex made his move, Windman didn't dare let his guard down.
He instantly abandoned Erik and leapt sideways, narrowly dodging Alex's heat vision in the nick of time.
Zzzzt!
Twin beams of searing heat scorched the beach whe...

“I’ve entered the Gatekeeper’s mind—Shaw is absorbing the energy of the entire nuclear submarine. He’s turning himself into a nuclear bomb!”
Charles’s voice rang out, his expression grim. His gaze stayed fixed on the enemy mutants ahead as he addressed the group around him.
“We’re running out of time! The Geiger counter is about to max out!” Moira added urgently from the side.
“Okay, first thing—we need to use the radio to notify both fleet...

Whoosh!
The moment Alex's heat vision shot out, the Winged Man reacted instantly. With a swift flip mid-air, he narrowly avoided the deadly blast. Hovering in the sky, arms crossed, he stared down at Alex with a heavy, grim expression.
What Shaw said wasn't wrong—this man was a serious problem.
Eyes that could shoot heat rays? That kind of ability was simply monstrous.
To mutants everywhere, Alex posed an innate and overwhelming threat.
And that wa...

No sooner said than done. Banshee, Erik, Charles, and the others unbuckled their seatbelts and moved toward the hatch at the bottom of the jet.
"Hank, open the lower hatch!" Banshee shouted toward the cockpit.
Boom—boom—boom!
The hatch opened with a loud thud, revealing the churning seawater below. A gust of frigid wind rushed in, making it hard to even breathe.
“Remember, it’s just a muscle. You can control it!” Charles shouted beside Banshee, tr...

Cuba.
Two fleets faced each other across the blockade line, locked in a tense standoff on the endless ocean.
The atmosphere was razor-sharp, ready to snap at the slightest provocation.
A freighter from the Soviet Union slowly steamed toward American waters, as if deliberately taunting them.
“Commander, three minutes until it crosses the blockade line!”
On the U.S. flagship, a subordinate reported in a grave tone to the highest-ranking officer on ...

Night had quietly fallen.
A full moon hung high in the sky.
Under normal circumstances, the living room would be buzzing with noise by now. The young mutants would usually be lounging around after dinner, chatting, laughing, and goofing off.
But tonight, the living room was unusually quiet.
After all, the final battle was just around the corner. Everyone had gone through another day of intense training and was thoroughly exhausted. It was time to rest and c...

"Alright, everyone—disperse. Go back to what you were doing!"
"We’ve been preparing for this fight against Shaw for a long time, and now we’re finally ready."
"This really isn’t such a big deal, right?"
Charles’s voice rang out again. Seeing that everyone had more or less adjusted their mindset, he clapped his hands and spoke with calm reassurance.
Too much encouragement would only add unnecessary tension. The best strategy now was to downplay it.

"Erik, Alex, let's go!"
The moment they heard the president's address was about to begin, everyone perked up instantly.
Charles called out to his two friends and quickly headed back inside the house.
Over the past few days, tensions between the US and the Soviets had reached an all-time low—no, more like a breaking point.
No one would be surprised if war broke out the next day.
The fate of the entire nation now hung in the balance, teetering on the edg...

Back at Xavier’s Mansion, the atmosphere was just as lively as ever.
The mutants were all immersed in their respective training routines.
Down a hallway not far ahead, Alex spotted Charles and Erik standing together.
Erik was holding out his hand, making focused gestures at the empty air in front of him.
“What are you guys doing?”
Alex walked over casually, eyeing Erik with curiosity.
“Alex, you’re back.”
Charles greeted him with a ...

BOOM!
With a deafening roar, the ground trembled violently. Everyone watched in shock as the massive Decepticon was slammed into the earth with tremendous force.
The impact alone was nothing short of breathtaking.
Especially for General Ross.
Before the Decepticon could even get back on its feet, a blur flashed before everyone’s eyes.
Alex had already leapt several meters through the air and landed squarely on the Decepticon’s chest.
BANG!...

General Ross’s voice boomed with disbelief as he stared up at the colossal robot towering before him, his entire worldview shattering before his eyes.

Howard Stark leaned in and muttered beside him, unable to hide the smugness in his tone.
“Yes, Stark, you were right. But now what the hell do we do?”
General Ross spread his hands helplessly,...

Howard Stark’s face lit up with excitement, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Alex for confirmation.
“I’m sure of it,” Alex said with a firm nod.
“Yes!”
Howard clenched his fist in celebration.
Since Alex discovered the first mechanical lifeform, S.H.I.E.L.D. had poured countless resources into the investigation. And now, they finally had something tangible to show for it.

“Can you feel the changes in your body?”
Dracula’s voice echoed as he stared intently at Alex, his eyes filled with a trace of anticipation.
The hostility and hatred he’d shown earlier were now completely gone, as if their previous conflict had never happened.
Alex quickly focused inward again, checking his condition.
Nothing felt off. His body seemed perfectly normal.
Only then did he fully relax.

Amidst the anguished and startled screams, the remaining swarm of bats dared not come near Alex again.
After a brief, chaotic swirl, they reformed into the figure of Dracula.
But this time, Dracula’s face and body were covered in gruesome burns from the laser beams, looking absolutely horrifying.
More importantly, the regenerative abilities that had once been his pride were clearly slowing down!

What kind of move was that?
The strange scene unfolding before Alex completely caught him off guard.
Wasn’t Dracula supposed to be a vampire? Since when did vampires come with cheat codes?
Then again… thinking about the version of Dracula in the Marvel universe, well—Alex could only admit that Marvel’s Dracula really didn’t play by the rules.
Immune to sunlight. Hyper-regeneration. True immortality.
And by true, it meant actual, no-joke imm...

What the hell?
A ghost?
Alex’s scalp tingled the moment he saw that eerie sight. An involuntary thought flashed through his mind.
How could a living person not cast a shadow?
Was this a joke?
…Wait a second.
No, that’s not it.
A different name suddenly popped into his head: vampire.
He vaguely recalled that in folklore, vampires were said to have no shadow—and no reflection in mirrors either.
Because both shadows a...

Soothing music played in the background, its gentle melody making people unconsciously relax, like warm, clear spring water flowing through the heart.
As Alex walked through the magnificent hall that looked like a palace made of crystal, for a moment, he felt as though he had been transported back to the 21st century rather than standing here in the 1960s.
To be honest, the luxury of this villa had exceeded his expectations.

As soon as Howard Stark finished speaking, Alex instantly understood his true intentions.
Because both the Decepticons and anything they'd come into contact with would emit a unique energy radiation, merely detecting traces of that radiation only proved that General Ross's car was suspicious.
But it wasn't definitive proof that the car itself was a Decepticon.
Under normal circumstances, S.H.I.E.L.D. could've simply confiscated the vehicle for research, regardless...

After saying a quick goodbye to Charles and Erik, Alex left the Xavier estate.
He arrived at a private suite in an upscale hotel, where Howard Stark was already waiting.
To Alex’s surprise, Peggy Carter was there too.
His gaze swept over Howard, then over Peggy, as if he had just uncovered some kind of shocking secret.
A man and a woman alone in a hotel room?
What’s going on here?

Seeing the remarkable results, Charles made the decision without hesi...

Excitement—tinged with a touch of madness—flickered in Erik’s eyes. It had been a long time since he felt this kind of crushing pressure.
Every muscle in his body tensed. His nerves stretched taut like steel wires.
He could barely breathe… and he loved it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was a fiery resolve in Erik’s eyes—one Alex hadn’t seen before.
Clearly, that fight with the fake Shaw had rattled him.

"Everyone, I’m sorry. Truly sorry."
That evening.
After dinner, the mutants gathered in the main hall on the first floor. Charles, Erik, and Moira stepped forward.
With guilt written all over her face, Moira began to speak.
"This operation put everyone in danger because of the faulty intel I provided. I’m ashamed—that was my mistake, and I won’t deny it."
"If anyone had gotten hurt… I don’t know how I could have lived with myself."
