I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

"A false balance."

Ye Feng stared at Logan, who was possessed by Charles's consciousness, his gaze seemingly piercing through thousands of kilometers, reaching the mind controller deep underground in the mutant academy.

"Charles, you and Eric have been playing adversaries for so many years, have you actually started to believe it yourself?"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Charles, whose consciousness was far away at the academy, fell into an unusual silence.

For the first time, genuine surprise appeared in her usually calm eyes.

His parting ways with Magneto Erik was indeed the result of a combination of factors.

The differences in ideology and the encouragement from followers, but the most fundamental reason stemmed from a secret conversation that night many years ago.

Charles's thoughts surged, and he felt as if he were back on the night that determined their fates, the eve of their public breakup.

"Eric, are you really sure?" Young Charles looked at his best friend, his voice filled with undisguised worry.

Eric had endured too much suffering, and his soul was already riddled with holes.

The only belief that sustains his life now is to fight for a future for mutants. This Magneto, who will later become world-renowned, is determined to use his power to carve a bloody path for his people.

"Charles! You should know my personality very well."

"Once I make a decision, I will never look back."

Eric's voice was cold and firm.

He is proceeding step by step along the path he has set for himself.

"Besides, isn't this what you wanted too?"

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If I fail, at least you'll still be here."

Eric countered, his gaze sharp.

Charles fell silent. This usually eloquent and insightful spiritual master was speechless for the first time.

Since the exposure of Sebastian Shaw's plot during the Cold War, the threat of mutants has been brought to the forefront by high-ranking officials in various countries.

As heroes who thwarted the Black Emperor's plot, Magneto and Professor X naturally became objects of fear for various countries.

Especially Professor X, Charles.

The world's most powerful brain can pause the perception of time and even access anyone's memories without hindrance.

Such an existence poses a significant threat to political leaders worldwide. While Magneto is powerful, he is not without means of checks and balances; Professor X's existence is akin to a nuclear deterrent.

This is also the fundamental reason why countries dare not openly target mutants.

If Professor X were to turn to the dark side, all of human civilization could instantly regress to a primitive state. No one wants to see such a lose-lose situation.

Thus, Charles and Magneto, following their respective beliefs, embarked on two different paths to find a way out for mutants: one side became enemies of humanity, while the other side befriended them.

For decades, they have stumbled along, groping for the future of their race.

For a fleeting moment, Charles's eyes were dazed, as if he had truly realized his long-cherished wish for peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants.

But Ye Feng before him presented a stark reality that showed him: humanity's fear of mutants had never diminished; on the contrary, it had only grown stronger. The current facade of peace was merely a facade because humanity had not yet acquired the power to overturn the table.

"It seems you already have your own ideas," Charles said slowly, snapping out of his reverie.

Ye Feng gave him a very special feeling. The other party's speech and temperament were not like those of an eighteen-year-old boy at all, but rather more like a wise man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.

"I have my own methods."

"I hope we won't become rivals in the future."

Ye Feng spoke calmly.

He certainly had no interest in revealing his plans to Charles.

The other party's stubbornness is deeply ingrained. If they learn that Ye Feng is preparing to reshape the social order, their first reaction will definitely be to stop him. Because in Charles's view, Ye Feng's behavior is more like that of a dictator, a revenge against all of humanity.

Therefore, Ye Feng had no desire to confide in anyone. It was Magneto, however, who made him want to communicate.

"Yeah?"

"It seems we're destined to be on different paths."

Charles sighed softly.

Although there was no violence or hatred in Ye Feng's eyes, his past experiences had made him no longer harbor any naive illusions about anyone.

Charles understood that it was virtually impossible for him to win over Ye Feng.

However, this meeting also gave Charles a slight sense of relief.

At least Magneto couldn't win over Ye Feng either. Because Ye Feng wasn't crazy; he wouldn't have such an extreme idea as turning all of humanity into mutants.

Magneto's genetic technology was immature, and that plan was extremely risky!

Charles gave Ye Feng a meaningful look. Deep within Logan's consciousness, he also sensed that mental barrier.

This means that Ye Feng has already told Logan his plan. If he forces a breakthrough, his mental strength might suffer a backlash, and he would also completely offend Ye Feng, which would be a losing proposition.

After a moment's thought, Charles abandoned the idea of ​​probing Logan's memories.

"I hope that next time we meet, it will be as friends." Charles's voice gradually faded away, and his spiritual energy receded like a tide.

Logan's calm eyes regained their former wildness.

"Damn it! Charles!" Logan roared the moment he regained consciousness.

Thanks to Ye Feng's mental barrier, he clearly heard the entire conversation between Charles and Ye Feng and realized that he was being controlled.

"Alright, he's already gone."

"As expected of the world's most powerful brain, such immense mental strength is truly astonishing."

Ye Feng said calmly.

How powerful is Charles's mental strength?

With the support of the brainwave enhancement machine, even a Gold Saint who can create thought entities and has mastered the seventh sense of cosmos may not be able to match it in terms of pure spiritual power.

Of course, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise. In terms of actual combat, ten Charless wouldn't be a match for a Gold Saint.

"Fortunately, I was prepared and set up a mental barrier in your mind."

"Otherwise, Charles would have seen through our plan long ago."

Ye Feng said with relief.

Even if Charles cannot completely stop him, he will definitely cause a lot of trouble in the early stages.

This is not what Ye Feng wanted to see. Although Charles is stubborn, he is not someone who cannot be won over.

"Hmph, I'll make him pay the price for arbitrarily invading someone else's brain sooner or later." Logan suppressed his anger.

He knew perfectly well that he had almost no chance of winning against Charles unless he could launch a close-range surprise attack when the other was not paying attention.

But the probability of that is extremely low. With Charles's mental range, no slightest disturbance can escape his perception.

"We're almost at the Vatican." Ye Feng gazed at the city walls faintly visible in the distance. "Logan, that's enough for now. You should go. Stick to the plan."

"good!"
