Chapter 162 – Clash
The soldiers’ warning was already a mercy. By protocol, they should’ve opened fire the instant Magneto appeared—an internationally recognized terrorist and Omega-level mutant. By rights, they could’ve killed him on the spot.

"Wait a minute—you know who I am?"
For a heartbeat, Loki faltered. His piercing green eyes narrowed, the mischief in them tempered by confusion. He tilted his head, dark hair falling like ink across his sharp cheekbones, and stare...
Though Alex spoke with perfect calm, dismissing Asgard as if it were a mere curiosity, his words didn’t instantly settle the doubts gnawing at Raven and Hank.
After all, these were not just stories—they were the myths they’d g...
“Ah, Romeo, why are you Romeo? Deny your father, abandon your name! Or, if you will not, then swear to be my love, and I shall no longer be a Capulet!
“Oh, Ju-alien, why does your profile jut out so sharply, as if hiding mandibl...
The ceremony lingered for another half hour, each word of prayer and eulogy weighed down by grief. Finally, after the last hymn faded into silence, the funeral concluded.
Guests from across the United States—politicians, tycoons, ...
March 15, 1983: Alex’s “Super-Soldier Program” succeeded. Captain Marvel was born.
That day marked more than the creation of a new powerhouse—it was a turning point for all mutants.
Carol Danvers herself was not a mut...
The joke landed with a thud. Classic set-up, classic punchline—yet nobody laughed. Not one mutant on Genosha so much as cracked a smile. They all just stared at the newcomer in horrified silence.
“Where the hell did this clown c...
Without question, Alex’s choice to confront Yon-Rogg’s fleet in near-Earth orbit was no accident.
If he had wished, he could have ascended higher—tens of thousands of meters into the void—and erased that fleet in total silence, ...
“Alex… humanity’s situation is really this dangerous?”
Carol Danvers’s voice was low, but her eyes snapped up to meet his with sharp intensity. She couldn’t disguise the tremor in her words, the shock twisting through he...
Genosha. A refuge island for mutants—if you could call it that.
When the Blackbird cut through the clouds and dropped onto the airstrip for the second time in a week, Erik Lehnsherr couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Twice ...
Carol Danvers truly was brimming with questions, and the weight of them pressed against her chest until she could no longer hold back.
“Alex… who exactly were those people? I’ve never seen weapons like that before. And their b...
Hala, capital of the Kree Empire.
Ssshhhhh—!
The blinding sweep of heat rays cut across the Kree soldiers like a merciless scythe of fire, mowing them down before they could even cry out. Their armor cracked and split, thei...
Switzerland. Hepburn’s villa.
For the second time in as many days, Henry found himself clutching the phone with the sudden, violent urge to track down the entire X-Men roster and punt them into orbit.
Last time, he’d come...
Raven’s yellow eyes glowed faintly in the infirmary light. She listened to every word Hank had said about Xavier, the White House, and their fruitless search. Then, with a sharp edge in her voice, she asked:
“And Jean? Has anyon...
Professor Charles Xavier’s office was heavy with tension. Hank McCoy—currently in his more human guise—sat hunched at the desk, surrounded by scattered research notes and photographs he’d developed with Reed Richards. But even thei...
Kurt Wagner knew Ororo Munroe would never sell him out, but that didn’t stop his stomach from twisting into knots. The air down here reeked of rust, mildew, and secrets. The longer they walked the abandoned subway lines, the more he felt like pr...

Kurt Wagner—better known as Nightcrawler—trailed behind Ororo Munroe as they walked the streets of New York City.
Ororo, with her striking white hair tied back in a simple ponytail, passed easily for just another young woman in ...
Alex immediately retracted his heat vision. Without even glancing at the Kree corpses scattered across the ground, he walked straight over to Carol Danvers.
“Alex…”
Carol naturally recognized him.
After all, Alex...
Beep beep beep! After carefully reviewing the mission logs himself, Talo continued operating the panel.
He transmitted all the undercover agents' mission logs to Yon-Rogg, who was far away on Hala.
And then...
Talo fro...
Off the southeast coast of Africa, northeast of Madagascar and southwest of the Seychelles, sat an island known as Genosha.
It wasn’t paradise. It wasn’t a utopia. It was a refugee camp, built with America’s silent approval an...
“What exactly did they encounter on C53?”
Yon-Rogg’s brow furrowed so deeply it resembled an old chrysanthemum blooming in late autumn. His usually sharp, calculating eyes were clouded with an unusual heaviness.
The sit...
Looking across all the mutants in the world, their abilities were as diverse as the stars in the sky. Fire, ice, lightning, psychic force, steel-like bodies, and more—there was almost no limit to what might manifest.
But in the br...
Reed slid the reel of film off the projector and held it up to the light. “Do you have a darkroom here?”
Hank pointed across the lab. A curtained-off chamber sat in the corner. “Over there.”
Reed marked the exact fram...
A secret weapon?
Was that truly necessary? With just that one phrase, Alex had thoroughly piqued the curiosity of every mutant present.
For someone of Alex’s stature—someone they had seen shatter limits time and again—t...
Following White Queen’s pointed question, the gazes of everyone in the room gradually turned toward Charles. The silence was heavy, taut like a rope about to snap. This issue was far too important; even those usually indifferent found th...
For the D’Bari, a people without a homeworld, survival meant scattering their fleets to the stars, chasing even the faintest chance of rebirth.
This warship, having tracked the mysterious cosmic energy across light-years, had foun...
“Commander Nakel!”
“Commander Nakel!”
The chamber erupted with shouts of alarm. Tuja, Abo, and several other soldiers scrambled toward their fallen leader, their boots pounding against the metal deck.
Nakel’s...
Whoosh!
A figure flashed by, bursting out of the railgun’s beam in the blink of an eye. His body cut through the raging torrent of destructive energy like a meteor streaking across the heavens.
So majestic. So unyielding. S...
“You’re not staying to help?” Mystique asked, her voice carrying more bite than weakness.
It wasn’t that she needed him as a meat shield—though he had proven useful at that. What Raven really needed was numbers. With Xavie...
“I never expected Alex to be this monstrous.”
“This guy… he’s a straight-up freak!”
“So what if he’s a freak? So what if he chased us here?”
“Right, I refuse to believe he can handle our starship!...
