American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Chapter 163 Dark Personality

After sizing up Roy, Professor X said to Wolverine and Roy, "You two wait for me outside?"

"What?" Wolverine looked at Professor X with a surprised expression.

"I need to see Jean alone," Professor X continued.

Upon hearing his answer, Wolverine said nothing more and turned to look at Storm.

Storm had no intention of stopping Professor X and nodded.

Soon, Professor X arrived in his electric wheelchair in front of Roy and his group.

Before Magneto could speak, he asked Roy, "Hello, who are you?"

"I'm Roy, nice to meet you."

After saying that, Roy extended his right hand toward Professor X.

"Charles Xavier." Professor X did not refuse and shook hands with him.

After they shook hands, Magneto said to Professor X, "Charles, you're right, Jean is the most special one among us."

"What the hell are you doing here?" Wolverine looked at Magneto with a serious expression and said quickly.

Although Wolverine's attitude was not very polite, Magneto didn't take it to heart at all: "Just like Charles, I'm here to visit an old friend."

"I don't want to make too much of a commotion here," Professor X said slowly.

"I don't want to either. Okay, let's go in."

Magneto first gestured to Professor X to invite him, then turned and walked towards Jean Grey's house.

"I'm here to take the piano home, don't get in my way," Professor X said earnestly, maneuvering his electric wheelchair alongside Magneto.

"Just like the first time we came?" Magneto said with a smile.

"She needs help; she's in a very bad state," Professor X continued.

"That's funny, you sound just like her parents," Magneto teased Professor X.

Despite their differing philosophies, Professor X has always been Magneto's friend.

That was true then, and it is true now.

Professor X ignored Magneto's teasing and drove the wheelchair straight towards the door.

"Are you coming in with me too?" Magneto turned to Roy and asked.

"Of course," Roy replied immediately without any hesitation.

He came here for two reasons.

One is to fulfill the mission and become a complete Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The second is "saving" Professor X.

If everything unfolds as the movie plot suggests, even if he doesn't save him, Professor X won't truly die. Instead, he will be "reborn" into a vegetative state where his organs and nervous system are normal, but he is unconscious, much like a possession.

However, since he was already there, he didn't mind "saving" Professor X as well, so that Professor X wouldn't have to personally experience the feeling of his body being completely broken down into particles.

Magneto nodded and said to Juggernaut, "Don't let those two in."

"No problem," the Red Tank replied quickly.

When Professor X arrived at the door, Magneto used his superpowers to open it.

Professor X maneuvered his wheelchair into the room.

Magneto and Roy followed him in.

Roy had never been to Qin's house before, and didn't feel anything special after entering.

As for Professor X and Magneto.

Once inside, they couldn't help but recall the first time they met Qin.

At that time, she was just a little girl.

Seeing that Jean wasn't in the living room, Professor X maneuvered his wheelchair inside.

The kitchen was empty too.

The drinking water in the water dispenser was churning as if it were boiling, and the paintings on the wall and the chandelier in the kitchen were also shaking and swaying.

After passing through the kitchen, Roy and his two companions arrived at the study.

Qin moved a chair and sat in the middle of the study.

The surrounding bookshelves, sofas, coffee tables and other furniture floated in the air.

Upon seeing Roy and his two companions, the bookshelves, sofas, and other furniture that had been floating in the air suddenly plummeted to the ground under the influence of gravity.

Roy and Magneto stood on either side of the study door.

Professor X approached Jean.

"I knew you would come," Qin said.

"Of course I will come, and I will take you home," Professor X said slowly, looking at Jean with a kind expression.

"I have no home!" Qin said in a deep voice.

"Of course you do. You have a home and family," Professor X continued.

On the surface, Professor X was simply having a conversation with Jean.

But in reality, as soon as he entered the study, he used his telepathy to soothe Qin's emotions.

As for why it's about soothing rather than directly controlling the instrument through telepathy, the reason is simple: the instrument can also sense things.

In her normal state, Jean's mental powers are not as strong as Professor X's.

But now, her mental powers are in no way inferior to Professor X's.

To be precise, he is much stronger than Professor X.

Just as Professor X was about to continue comforting Jean and persuading her to return to the mutant school with him, Magneto's voice rang out.

"He feels that your current power is too great, beyond your control."

Jean looked up at Magneto but didn't say anything.

Magneto approached Professor X and continued, "Charles, your telepathic game isn't working anymore."

"You want to control me?" Jean's gaze returned to Professor X, and she said coldly.

"That's right, he wants to control you," Magneto said quickly.

"No, I want to help you." Professor X looked at Jean with a sincere expression.

"Help me? Do I have a problem?" Qin continued to ask.

"Absolutely not," Magneto continued to answer.

"Shut up, Eric!" Professor X turned to Magneto and angrily rebuked him.

He has always had a good temper.

Normally, he wouldn't mind Magneto's mischief.

But things are different now.

Magneto doesn't have telepathy; he only knows that Jean is very strong, a top-tier Level 5 mutant, but he doesn't know how dangerous Jean's dark personality is.

"Charles, you're the one who should shut up. You're the one holding her back," Magneto roared.

Professor X wasn't in the mood for a verbal battle with Magneto, and said to Jean, "I'm doing this for your own good."

As he spoke, he began to exert his full telepathic power, attempting to break through Qin's mental barrier and forcibly control her.

"Don't enter my consciousness!" Qin's expression suddenly changed, turning angry. The lamp on the cabinet flew up and crashed hard into the bookshelf.

At the same time, all the doors outside the house, as well as the kitchen and study doors inside, were closed.

"I want to go in." Wolverine said immediately as he saw the small door outside the room close on its own.

"The professor said he can handle it." Storm grabbed Wolverine's left hand, stopping him.

Inside the study.

The sofa, coffee table, and other furniture floated up again.

Professor X said to Jean, "Look at me, Jean, I can help you. Look at me."

"Get out of my mind!" Jean shouted at Professor X, using her telekinesis to forcefully push him away.

"Charles, I think you should listen to her," Magneto said.

Professor X ignored him, maneuvered his wheelchair to Jean, and said with utmost seriousness, "Jean, you must believe me. You are dangerous to everyone right now, but I can help you."

"I bet he wants to inject you with a healing agent," Magneto continued to undermine him.

"Think of Scott, you killed the people you loved because you couldn't control your energy," Professor X said loudly.

Tears welled in Qin's eyes, and she cried out uncontrollably, "No, stop talking!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a shockwave that was imperceptible to the naked eye was released from her body.

The study window shattered with a loud bang, shards flying everywhere.

Magneto was blasted away, crashing through the study door and falling into the kitchen.

Magneto and Professor X were both caught off guard by Jean's outburst.

The only one who was unaffected was Roy.

The moment Jean released the shockwave, Roy also used the repulsive force manipulation inherent in the Tenseigan to deflect the shockwave that was heading towards him.

From the perspective of energy release, Qin did not release much energy this time.

Although the energy was not much, this burst of energy allowed Jean's dark personality to replace the main personality.

In other words, Qin has become the Black Phoenix.
