"Come with me."
In a factory, the workers showed no signs of unease about yesterday's life-or-death crisis or their reporting of a colleague; they chatted and worked away from home.
Suddenly, the factory's iron gate was violently rolled up to the roof, and several figures appeared at the gate entrance.
"Should I give a kill statement?"
Luo Xing glanced at Magneto beside him and asked.
"That was just venting my emotions, I don't need it anymore. They just need to pay the price for what they did."
Magneto closed his eyes and slowly raised his hands.
Countless steel pieces were transformed into deadly weapons, instantly reaping all lives.
At the same time, a dark swarm of carrion birds flew in from outside the factory and pounced on the corpses of those people.
“Nina, you don’t need to do these things… remove… your power.”
Magneto grabbed Nina's shoulders and said...
"I just let them come over; the rest is their instinct."
Nina looked at the flock of carrion birds in the distance and shook her head.
Luo Xing stood aside and silently observed Nina's abilities, but after watching for a long time, he couldn't find any signs of evolution.
This made Luo Xing even somewhat doubtful whether the Ascendant Ritual actually had any...enhancing effect on mutants.
After all, Mystique is the same, except... in all aspects.
Chapter 130 Mystique's Abilities Advance
Luo Xing checked the newly triggered quest and felt it was somewhat familiar.
To occupy someone else's body.
Defeated by those who came before, it now awakens once more.
He possesses a villainous charm that attracts a large following.
In Cairo, Egypt.
He was killed by one of the main characters who used a cheat code.
"What do you mean by 'beating someone up'?"
Magneto, hearing Luo Xing talking to himself, asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about the name of our group later."
Luo Xing waved his hands, and they headed towards the genius boy Xavier...

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about the name of our group later."
Luo Xing waved his hands, and a portal to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters appeared before everyone.
In the Days of Future Past events, Luo Xing went there. Although the school was deserted at the time, the coordinates were already known, so he could simply open the door and go there.
"I don't think this name is good. If it were me, I would call it the Brotherhood."
Magneto picked up his daughter, chuckled, and stepped into the portal.
"Are we like assassins in the Brotherhood? Are you planning to be Ezio or Van Cleef?"
Luo Xing and Diana followed behind, also passing through the portal.
"No, we are soldiers."
Magneto replied seriously, then turned his head with some confusion: "Who are Ezio and Van Cleef?"
"Two renowned assassins, both leaders of the Brotherhood."
Looking at the academy before him, which was completely different from the one he had visited last time, Luo Xing sighed with some emotion, "If nothing else goes wrong, this is indeed a good place."
"Ordinary people are the exception."
Magneto surveyed the students in the academy and spoke calmly.
"You two go find Charles first, or wander around the college. I need to bring someone over."
After saying something to the group, Luo Xing vanished instantly.
Back in the main world, Luo Xing picked up his phone from beside the bed, opened his call log, found a number, and dialed it.
"Raven, is something wrong with you? I'm thinking of taking you home."
Luo Xing immediately answered the phone.
He spoke.
"Going home isn't my home; I just lived there for a while."
Raven's voice came from the other end of the phone.
She now feels more at home here than in that… world that hated her.
"Going back to check on things is just a side trip; the key is that someone there is up to trouble again, and Charles and Eric are probably his targets."
Luo Xing smiled faintly at his phone and said.
"They are, after all, my former friends... I'll be right back."
After a moment of silence, Raven spoke.
"You want me to come pick you up..."
Luo Xing was about to open a portal to let Mystique come over when, before he could finish speaking, Raven stumbled into the room.
"Hah—whoosh—I, I never...want to use this ability again..."
Raven, looking utterly shaken, rolled over and collapsed onto Luo Xing's bed, taking deep breaths.
"What ability do you have that allows you to teleport?"
Luo Xing sat down on the edge of the bed, and was immediately grabbed by the arm by Raven, who was still shaken.
"No, it's a transformation."
Raven's sweaty blonde hair clung to Luo Xing's arm as she panted.
"So you're a Sentinel now; whoever you transform into, you'll gain their abilities."
Luo Xing pulled out a few tissues from the bedside and wiped the sweat from Raven's face, then asked.
His reason for this speculation was that the Sentinels' origin, or rather, something crucial, was... Mystique Raven's genes.
Of course, if Mystique hadn't been infused with Ascended powers by Loth, no matter how much she developed her abilities, she could never have become like a Sentinel.
Because the Sentinels are machines, Mystique's genes are only one part of their workings.
Machines can easily upgrade and evolve by incorporating other elements, but humans cannot.
If Mystique's transformation involves making all her cells identical to another person's, then she would definitely gain the abilities that person possesses.
The problem is that Mystique's ability to transform is a mutation of her own body; if she transforms into something exactly the same, she cannot transform back.
Furthermore, if they are truly identical, then Mystique wouldn't even know who she is.
None of your memories will remain; it's like turning yourself into a clone.
Perhaps to prevent this from happening, her abilities must have a protective lock that can never be broken.
However, under the Ascension Ritual, mortals can definitely break through their own limits and greatly enhance their strengths.
Just as Nasus was originally a wise strategist who ascended to become a jackal symbolizing wisdom, Renekton was a valiant general who ascended to become a ferocious crocodile.
Therefore, Raven's power boost is 100% an enhancement of her mutant abilities.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be like what you said..."
Raven's emotions gradually stabilized, and she sat up with Luo Xing's help: "I hadn't noticed any changes in my abilities until one day, I became that... agent."
"Which agent? Coulson, Hill, or Nick Fury?"
Luo Xing asked each person one by one, wondering which one could trigger Raven's special ability.
"No, it's that girl living next door now... the Black Widow, Natasha Romanov."
Raven glanced at the wall on her right, took a deep breath, and said.
"Natasha, why did you transform into her for no reason? And I remember you transformed into her before, didn't you?"
Luo Xing asked, somewhat puzzled.
He clearly remembered that not long after bringing Raven into this world, he had her transform into Natasha in front of Nick Fury, which gave Mare Falkman a huge fright.
Was it because he hadn't fully realized at that time, "Yesterday Susan and I were discussing who has a better figure, hers or mine... That's not the point!"
Raven subconsciously answered Luo Xing's question, only realizing her mistake halfway through: "You're right, I've transformed into her before, and this has never happened before."
Chapter 131 The Ability of Transcendental Transformation
"What"
Hearing Luo Xing suddenly utter an unfamiliar name, Mystique Raven looked at him in confusion.
"I mean, the person you actually became is called Lucy."
Luo Xing grabbed Raven's wrist, looking into her eyes: "Don't... try to become her again, unless you want to become an abstract being."
