hope Nian pondered for a moment, then looked at Wolverine and the others beside him: "You guys can stay here for now, there's no need to keep following us."

"Mr. Xinian, what are you going to do?"

Wolverine looked at him with barely concealed excitement.

"It's time for this farce to end in a world ruled by Sentinel robots."

hope Nian said calmly, glancing at the phantom cat beside him, "Come with me."

"it is good."

Although Phantom Cat didn't know what Xinian was going to do, she nodded quickly with trust and continued to wrap her slender arms around his left hand.

Xinian waved his free right hand forward, opening a circular portal in front of him, and stepped through it with Phantom Cat.

The portal quickly contracted and dissipated, leaving only sparks fading into the air.

Blinking Bing exclaimed in astonishment, "I'm not seeing things, am I? The other side of that portal looks like New York?"

New York, a place name that is both familiar and unfamiliar to native mutants.

“You must not have misread it…” Colossus slowly finished speaking.

The native mutants on the field fell silent once again.

New York was a world-renowned economic metropolis just last year.

However, since the birth of the second-generation Sentinel robot six months ago, New York, the location of the research base that cultivated the Sentinel robot, has become the first major city to fall to human hands!

In present-day New York, there are no more underground survivors, only—

“Professor Logan, Mr. Shan Nian, this is all in the past…”

Robert the Iceman belatedly looked at Wolverine, his hands involuntarily clenching into fists.

Wolverine grinned, pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, took a satisfying drag, and nodded in affirmation: "That's right, just as you think!"

……

2023 years.

Mutant World, New York City.

rustle.

The spinning sparks went out, and the portal connecting the factory base across the sea disappeared behind them.

The silver-haired youth and the girl in the jacket appeared here. What came into view was an abandoned urban complex. The sky above was also covered by dust and dark clouds, and there was no sign of life, including plants.

All that remained were ruins, ashes, remains, and smoke; the stench of death permeated every corner.

There is not a single living human being left; all traces of humanity have been erased.

In the heart of New York City, in what was once the most bustling commercial district, lies a gigantic hemispherical fortress covering two kilometers. The fortress base, with its overall metallic coldness, shines outwards with a dazzling blue and white light!

Countless sentinel robots moved in and out like busy bees, while coffin-shaped aircraft transported the sentinel robots to other cities or countries!

That's right, after the fall of New York, this place became the headquarters of the second-generation Sentinel robots.

The headquarters is intelligent and self-sufficient, continuing to follow the order of "eliminating mutants and defending peace" indefinitely, constantly collecting Earth's resources to manufacture second-generation Sentinel robots, even though the scientists who originally created the Sentinel robots have long since died.

The moment the young man and woman appeared in this region.

Click!

Click-click—!

The sentinel robots working in the skies and on the ground in the New York area all stopped moving and turned their golden electronic eyes toward the young man and woman.

More accurately, when they looked at the beautiful young white girl, the entire vast ruined city fell into an eerie silence.

The target was remotely monitored and locked by thousands of sentry robots.

Kitty the Phantom Cat's petite body trembled uncontrollably. She gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on the young man's left arm, almost collapsing to the ground. She barely managed to suppress the urge to turn around and escape through the wall.

"Because I'm not a mutant. So, you need to lure them over here so I don't have to go looking for them one by one."

hope said softly, "If you're scared, close your eyes."

Phantom Cat was momentarily lost in thought.

She vaguely recalled that someone had said something similar:

"Are you scared? If you are, hide. I'm here, nothing will happen!"

After the green-haired woman finished speaking, she charged out alone to face the two Sentinel robots attacking from outside.

Soon, the beautiful and spirited green-haired woman retrieved the head of a Sentinel robot.

Kitty the Phantom Cat always wondered what kind of person the other half of someone as outstanding as her sister must be.

Now she understands.

Kitty the Phantom Cat took a deep breath and said firmly, "Big brother, go for it! I don't want to run away anymore!"

"I will keep my eyes wide open and observe until the end of this world's apocalyptic war comes to an end!"

"Is that so?" hope Nian's lips curled up, and a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes.

The next moment, thousands of second-generation Sentinel robots in the New York area, like a swarm of bees, surrounded and covered the young man and woman!

laugh!

Two crimson bolts of lightning suddenly shot from the silver-haired youth's eyes, slicing through the cloud of Sentinel robots like sword beams, and instantly dozens of severed Sentinel robots fell from the sky!

An extraordinary war between one against many is about to break out!

Chapter 551, The Reversed Variant Future Timeline

2023 years.

The Great Wall is a mutated future world ruled by second-generation Sentinel robots.

Several fully armed mutants guarded the Great Wall tower. At another temporary base below the tower, under the dim light of a small lamp, two elderly men, whose combined age was over 150, met together.

One of the elderly men, with a bald head, a kind face, and deep, wise eyes that seemed to see into people's hearts, sat peacefully in a specially made wheelchair.

The other old man was dressed in metal armor and a gray-black cloak. Beneath his snow-white temples was a stern face, etched with the wrinkles of time, yet still sharp and dignified. His upright posture exuded an aura like a piece of red-hot iron.

If the surviving mutants outside the world were to witness this scene, they would surely be shocked.

After all, both of them stand at the pinnacle of each other's mutant roster and are the most famous and powerful mutants of their time!

"Would you like wine, coffee, or perhaps local tea?" the bald old man asked.

The old man in the cloak said in a deep voice without any politeness, "Charles, you contacted me specifically just to have a drink?"

The elderly Professor X, Charles, a native mutant, smiled calmly: "Eric, after all these years, your temper is still as fiery as ever."

The elderly Magneto Erik snorted coldly and said in a hoarse voice, "If I were still as temperamental as I was back then, I should kill you right now to save you from dying at the hands of the Sentinel robots!"

“I know. You still resent me for what happened fifty years ago when Mystique Raven was captured by the Sentinel Robotics Laboratory.” The elderly Professor X sighed. “If I had been able to keep an eye on Raven, she wouldn’t have been captured outside, the Sentinel Project wouldn’t have happened, and there wouldn’t be a second-generation Sentinel Robot.”

The elderly Magneto gave him a cold look: "Good to know, I will never forgive you!"

The elderly Professor X didn't seem to care about this and suddenly said, "If we could stop what happened back then and save Raven, could we reverse the current apocalyptic situation?"

"Stop? How can you stop it, by traveling through time?" The elderly Magneto scoffed.

The elderly Professor X continued, "Not long ago, I made telepathic contact with a surviving mutant squad. One of them was a girl named Shadowcat. Her ability was very special; she could make anything she touched pass through."

"So what?" The elderly Magneto looked at the elderly Professor X, who was both an enemy and a friend, and shook his head. "Even if her abilities are stronger than yours and mine, she still can't defeat so many Sentinel robots."

“Destroying thousands upon thousands of Sentinel robots is obviously impossible,” the elderly Professor X said in a deep voice. “But what if we sent a mutant member with a self-healing will, with Shadowcat’s ability, to travel back in time fifty years and stop the Sentinel program at its source? Could we then reverse the current hopeless apocalyptic world?”

The elderly Magneto fell silent, staring intently at the elderly Professor X: "If there's even the slightest theoretical possibility, then we must try it no matter what!"

There is currently no hope for the variant timeline.

No more than a hundred mutants survived, and only a few million ordinary people survived, all hiding in underground shelters in the ruins of the city.

Unable to contend with the Sentinel robots that now rule the world, going back in time may be the only hope to stop and reverse the tide of war.

“My choice is Wolverine Logan; his ability to travel back in time is most suitable,” the elderly Professor X said immediately. “I’ll contact Wolverine and Shadowcat right away and have them find a way to get here…”

The elderly Professor X stopped abruptly, his face showing surprise.

"What's wrong? What did your mind sense?" The elderly Magneto quickly noticed something amiss and asked in a hoarse voice.

"I don't know what's going on outside either."

The elderly Professor X stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "The Sentinel robots and Sentinel ships patrolling this country are all being withdrawn..."

Even the elderly Magneto was stunned. The fact that the local patrolling Sentinel robots would withdraw was a very unusual move!

The elderly Professor X muttered to himself, "No, they don't seem to be evacuating; they seem more like they're heading to provide support in one direction..."

"Support? You must have got it wrong!"

The elderly Magneto frowned. If it were six months ago, the Sentinel robots might have coordinated reinforcements to other regions.

But this is six months after the apocalypse.

After the Sentinel robots came to global dominance, they continued to collect resources to develop themselves. Now, almost every major country has more than a thousand Sentinel robots that patrol and scan the skies of their respective countries day and night.

Does this mean all of a nation's patrol sentry robots need to be withdrawn to support other areas?

This is simply unbelievable!

Even if the elderly Magneto was very confident, his magnetic control had increased rather than decreased in old age, and he admitted that he could not defeat more than ten Sentinel robots.

"But that's just how it is."

The elderly Professor X exclaimed in surprise, "They...are all heading towards New York to provide support!"

……

At this moment.

Within Germany.

In an air-raid shelter beneath the city, hundreds of survivors huddled together screaming, as a Sentinel robot burst in amidst the sounds of drilling and rumbling.

The golden light scanned inwards, as if it had detected humans carrying mutant genes, and immediately went into attack mode.

But at this moment...
