Having overcome this final obstacle, Peter approached Jean Grey, who had nowhere left to retreat.
"Don't come any closer!"
Almost instinctively, Jean once again mobilized her mental power to try to push Peter away.
But Peter's hand ignored this fragile barrier, grasping her wrist with the precision of passing through water, and pinning her against the wall in a "wall slam" position.
The moment their skin touched, Qin trembled all over and could only resign herself to closing her eyes, tears even clinging to her long eyelashes.
Seeing her innocent, delicate appearance, as if she were about to be ruined.
Peter suddenly found it somewhat amusing, so he just stood there quietly, almost face to face, looking at her.
One second, three seconds, five seconds... half a minute.
A full half minute passed, but the humiliating and painful scenes I had imagined did not occur.
Qin opened her eyes in disbelief, only to be met with a handsome face that looked rather irritating with its smile.
"What are you expecting?" Peter asked, knowing the answer already, as he looked at Jean Grey.
Qin, who is only 16 years old, has never seen such a scene before. Her round face turned so red that it was almost bleeding. She didn't dare to speak or even look at Peter.
Tsk~
Upon seeing this, Peter couldn't help but purse his lips.
How boring!
If he had just awakened his past life memories, he would find it incredibly fun to play around with Gwen like this.
But now, Qin's reaction was rather uninteresting to him.
Just as he was thinking this, a green light suddenly shone from the watch face on Peter's left wrist.
Peter looked down and was astonished to find that Jean Grey's mutant genes had been successfully collected.
[DNA sample successfully acquired: Omega-level mutant]
Peter stared at the semi-transparent panel that appeared in his field of vision, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.
The information flowing back from the panel and into his mind told him that he had not obtained what he truly desired—the Phoenix Force itself.
What he has now is only Jean's own mutant talent—an ability that is highly similar to, yet subtly different from, that of the Invisible Woman, Susan (who can become invisible through light, while Jean can use telepathy).
Tsk~
This made Peter unconsciously frown.
He had initially thought that this acquisition would be like his previous collection of the Fantastic Four's genes, allowing him to directly gain their abilities, but it now seemed that this was not the case.
But that makes sense, since the Fantastic Four had their bodies altered by Galactus's cosmic radiation, which is essentially a genetic modification.
Jean Grey, however, is different.
She is essentially just an Omega-level mutant.
It's just that the Phoenix Force was particularly fond of her, so it injected a portion of its primordial power into her body before she was born.
So... in essence, I only gained Jean's superpowers and... the ability to attract the Phoenix Force?
What's this? I wanted a drink of water, and all I got was... a water bottle?
Judging from this situation, I can't leave this world prematurely.
[It's estimated that we'll only have a chance to seize this power for ourselves when the Apocalypse storyline reaches its conclusion and Jean herself unleashes the Phoenix Force.]
With this thought in mind, Peter already had a complete plan in his heart.
Ignoring Jean Grey, who was still recovering from her shyness, Peter used Shave to teleport in front of the man slumped in the wheelchair.
Charles Xavier leaned back in his chair, the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth making him look disheveled, but he still tried to maintain his composure, his azure eyes filled with vigilance and scrutiny.
Peter ignored Professor X's scrutinizing gaze, walked casually to the wheelchair, looked down at him, and said:
"I will be living here from now on."
He used a statement of fact, clearly leaving no room for negotiation.
Before Charles could respond, Beast Hank had already struggled to his feet, dragging a clearly injured leg, and stood like a blue wall of flesh, blocking the wheelchair.
"Fxxk u, you're not welcome here, monster!" Hank roared, baring his sharp fangs and assuming a defensive stance.
"Ha~ You look like someone else, yet you accuse me of being a monster? 666, you've really mastered the art of double standards~"
Peter made a sarcastic remark, leaving the Beast speechless, before turning his attention back to Professor X.
The professor took a deep breath, but still raised his slightly trembling right hand and placed it on Hank's muscular shoulder.
"Hank, step back." Charles's voice was hoarse, yet carried an unyielding authority.
"Professor!" Hank turned around, his eyes filled with resentment.
"He almost killed the shockwave!"
"Step back." Charles emphasized, his eyes signaling him not to make a pointless sacrifice.
Hank's tense muscles slowly relaxed. He reluctantly retracted his claws and took a very slow step back to the side, but his eyes were still fixed on Peter like a cheetah.
Charles braced himself on the armrests, tried to sit up straight, and smiled as he spoke to Peter:
"Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters... has always been committed to peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants, so we certainly welcome anyone, including lost travelers, provided that you do not harm other people in the academy without cause."
He paused, then finally spoke with a hint of bitterness:
"We did make mistakes today, and please allow me, as the dean of the academy, to apologize to you on behalf of these children, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Cyclops, Beast, and Phoenix, who were standing nearby, all seemed to be questioning the meaning of life.
We were the ones who were beaten! And now we have to apologize to the perpetrators?
Is there no law anymore? Is there no justice left?
Peter took in the resentful looks from the others, and after a moment, he suddenly smiled with satisfaction:
"Very good, kid, now you've widened your path!"
"I like young men with a broad perspective, so I can do you a small favor by covering your accommodation expenses."
As he spoke, Peter immediately lifted his foot and walked towards the shockwave.
Chapter 380 I suspect he has a split personality!
Noticing Peter's movement, the beast instinctively took a step forward.
He was somewhat worried that Peter wanted to kill Shockwave completely.
After all, judging from his previous performance, it would be perfectly reasonable for this guy to do something like "straighten the neck of the shockwave and then say 'Look, I've saved you one less mouth to eat for free'"!
As for whether he will intervene to heal the shockwave?
This is ridiculous...
What the hell!
It actually worked?
The beast had only just begun to complain when it saw a blinding white light appear on Shockwave's body. Then, the bones in his body that had been displaced to the point of almost piercing through his flesh instantly returned to their original position.
Her pale complexion visibly regained its rosy hue.
"Done!"
After using the Horse Charm to heal the shockwave, Peter thought for a moment and then reached out and touched the messy ground.
The next second, all traces of the battle around them were completely erased, and even the professor's favorite century-old tree, which had been broken by the shockwave, was restored to its original state.
"OMG~!" At this point, not only the Beast, but even Professor X couldn't maintain his composure and stammered out:
"Um... sir, are you really not a mutant?"
In the professor's opinion, judging from Peter's combat prowess and his current miraculous healing ability, if Peter were a mutant, he would definitely be an Omega-level mutant no less than himself and Magneto.
It might even surpass the Omega series!
After all, he had no chance to fight back against the other party!
Forget about controlling the other party; the other party could even inflict a severe backlash with just a glance!
Thinking about this, the professor's thoughts became active, and he couldn't help but think to himself:
If I could really build a good relationship with this unknown powerhouse, perhaps... I could actually use his strength to get Lao Wan to officially join the academy?
At that time, the mutants will definitely be able to unite as a united front because of this.
Once this step is achieved, how far away will the day come when mutants and humans can coexist peacefully?
Faced with Professor X's almost burning gaze, Peter gave him an elegant smile and then spoke:
"Just call me Peter. As you can see, I am not a mutant, but a genuine human!"
"How is this possible!" Phoenix couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"How could a human possibly possess such power!"
Just because humans like you can't do it doesn't mean humans elsewhere can't.
Peter casually replied with this, then yawned and, without giving anyone a chance to press further, began:
"Alright, I'm sleepy and need to rest. I'll choose my own room. Also, I don't like being disturbed. If anyone disturbs my rest... they'll have to bear the consequences."
After saying that, Peter drifted away, leaving Professor X and the others standing there staring at each other in disbelief.
……
Before he knew it, Peter had been staying at Xavier College for three days.
Because the college was full of curious kids, and because the professor had given him special instructions, Peter lived a very relaxed and comfortable life.
He even got along quite well with a few of the local bullies.
At this moment, on the school lawn, a girl with distinctly Asian features sat next to Peter with a distressed expression:
"Mr. Peter, I still feel like it's not quite there yet!"
At that moment, clusters of colorful electric light flickered between the girl's hands, but they disappeared abruptly after only a short while.
