In front of Superman, you have no choice but to give yourself to a little girl.

Felicia was initially taken aback when she saw the old woman in front of her who called herself "Charles' sister," but then her expression returned to its usual playful composure.

"Really? I've never heard that Professor Xavier has a sister?"

"Of course, he may never have considered me his sister."

A flash of memory crossed Nova's eyes, but his words were incredibly eerie: "Because he must have thought he killed me long before I was born."

"But unfortunately, he was wrong. I survived, and I've become stronger than him! I will kill him eventually!"

Just as Nova said, Charles did not treat Nova as a sister.

Even to Charles, Nova was an extremely dangerous parasite!

Far beyond Earth, in the universe, there exist three great interstellar empires. Among them, the civilization known as the "Shia Empire" has the following legend:

Shortly before birth, every person faces their "Mumudlai," or "anti-self," within their mother's womb. This is an entity that everyone must contend with before birth.

While it's impossible to be certain whether they are the same thing, a remarkably similar situation did occur with Charles before he was born.

A spiritual parasite without a physical body copied Charles's cells and used them to construct its own body—this is the origin of Nova.

Her essence doesn't even qualify her as human!

However, although Nova is not human, she only began to develop consciousness after she acquired a body.

So much so that, driven by a "primitive, survival-oriented" instinct, Nova attempted to strangle Charles with his umbilical cord.

Charles, who possesses powerful psychic abilities, also sensed Nova's danger. His first "conscious action" was to confront Nova and attempt to kill him.

However, Nova, who had cloned Charles's cells, also possessed powerful mental abilities shared with Charles, which led to a fierce confrontation between them in their mother's womb.

It was also because of this conflict that Charles's mother suffered a miscarriage—Nova's body died in the womb, and only Charles was able to be born successfully.

But Nova did not die; she survived as a chaotic cellular substance and clung to the sewer walls for decades.

As Nova gradually repairs and grows, her consciousness also matures, no longer driven by instinct as it was in the womb. However, this also leads to her increasingly distorted and dangerous beliefs.

She believes that the "womb" that carried her consciousness was the "entire universe," and that she and Charles, who were in the womb, were the most original and primordial beings in this "universe."

She sees herself and Charles as equals and the only "reality," while everything that comes afterward—the world outside the womb, whether human or mutant—is false, an "illusion" that should not exist.

Nova believes his mission is to evolve the universe and eliminate all “illusions,” that is, all “non-original” existences—including their own universe and all universes outside of it!

However, as the only "real" being equal to her, Charles chose to take a completely different path, choosing to protect and embrace the outside world—which Nova saw as a betrayal of their "original" identity!

She wants to eliminate this "traitor" who embraces "falsehood" and to completely purify this universe.

Unlike Charles's "disapproval" of Nova, Nova not only verbally called Charles "brother," but also considered him the only person she truly approved of.

She even wanted to destroy everything Charles cherished, including the X-Men and the mutant academy, because "Charles chose the outside world instead of her."

Therefore, after Nova grew strong enough and regained her ability to walk freely, when Hydra encountered her and, upon learning of her abilities, extended an olive branch to her,

Nova, having learned that Hydra wanted to start a war between mutants and humans, also joined Hydra as a shadow advisor.

Hydra needs her powerful psychic abilities to gather crucial intelligence and control mutant crimes, thereby framing mutants and inciting a war between mutants and humans.

Nova, who wants to purify the universe, needs Hydra's scientific research support, human resources, and global operational network. In addition, she wants the Sentinel robots to eliminate the X-Men and even all mutants.

Hydra planned to discard Hydra after achieving its goal, while Nova only regarded Hydra as his temporary army. Both sides believed they could control the situation.

But so far, their collaboration has indeed yielded good results before this doomed partnership officially collapses.

"You say you can kill Professor Xavier?"

Felicia wasn't sure if the old woman was lying to her, but she wasn't worried about anything happening to her. "I could have said I could sit on Superman's head," she said.

"Little girl, you're pretty arrogant."

"They even dare to make jokes about Superman."

Nova remained nonchalant. "However, I did not lie, and I will prove what I said in the simplest way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Novana's mental abilities, even more powerful than Professor X's, seeped into Felicia's mind like a gentle spring rain.

However, the cunning Nova realized something was wrong the moment he entered Felicia's mind—she couldn't see any memories!

However, before she could react, she finally saw the only image in Felicia's mind!

As the golden capital M that terrified her suddenly appeared, a fist grew larger and larger in front of her consciousness!

The next second, Nova stumbled and fell to the ground, clutching her head with both hands. Her bloodshot eyes were wide open, and her trembling pupils seemed to say, "What a joke!"—she was banished from Felicia's mind.

Nova knew that Superman hadn't come; this was just a defensive maneuver left behind by Superman, otherwise she wouldn't have survived.

Just as she had the ability to see Scarlet Witch's potential, almost no one in the world understood Superman's terror better than her.

Nova, his face contorted in a grimace, braced himself on the ground with both hands, turning his head to look at Felicia. "You really know him?"

After Felicia realized what was happening, a smug smile spread across her face. "Looks like you weren't lying after all."
