Chapter 362 Going Out
This is the age of superheroes and new superheroes are born every day.
The process of their birth is full of strange things, they have experienced twists and turns, and their strength varies from strong to weak.
But whether it is personal strength or social influence.
Among the new generation of superheroes, no one can compare with the first generation of Avengers.
Among them, the most famous superheroes who are closest to the generation of Avengers are also a team - the Fantastic Four!
Most of the credit goes to their captain, Doctor Fantastic Reed.
Although Reid's personality is relatively restrained, he doesn't like publicity at all.
But the labels on him are too special: super genius, top scientist, smartest brain, superhero and so on.
The last person to have both of these labels was Tony Stark.
What Reid lacks is just a playboy personality. After all, scientific instruments are definitely not as eye-catching as the cover girl.
But after Iron Man retired, Reed, who has these titles, naturally has infinite topicality!
Whether Doctor Fantastic can reach the height of Iron Man, Ian doesn't care at all.
The moment he saw the name Fantastic Four, he thought of a top cosmic powerhouse - Galactus!
Then a question popped up in his mind:
'Will swallowing stars directly attack the earth like a tributary of time? '
The swallowing star of the time tributary is just a projection clone, and it will only act according to instinct.
Swallowing Stars in the main time and space is different, and definitely possesses good wisdom.
Brainless beasts can't survive now!
Thinking of this, Ian focused on reviewing the growth trajectory of the Fantastic Four.
Reid left the Stark Group after finishing his studies, and then set up his own laboratory.
Thanks to his long-standing reputation as a genius and the legend valued by Tony, Reed's laboratory has no shortage of investors.
Coincidentally, Reed finally chose Victor von Doom as a collaborator...
Compared with the tributaries of time, Reed in the main time and space is undoubtedly better.
Of course, it's only a little better.
Although he does not need to personally attract investment, his laboratory does not have sufficient funds.
His scientific mind may be as good as Tony's, but he is far behind in other aspects.
Especially in the field of economics, as long as he has a bit of business acumen, with his scientific achievements, he will not worry about funding for experiments.
"With Tony's support, Reed's growth trajectory is still the same as before?" Ian had a weird feeling,
"If the Fantastic Four continue to follow this trajectory, swallowing stars may already be on their way to Earth?"
Ian doesn't think that a strong person at the level of swallowing stars will be easily affected.
However, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out.
Looking at the long-lost sunrise, Ian suddenly felt an urge to go out for a walk.
"Shall we go out to play?!" Aisha suddenly appeared behind Ian at some point.
"Okay!" Ian agreed without hesitation, "I just want to go out and have a look!"
Aisha left directly with Ian, and everything else went on as usual without any impact.
"Where are we going first?" Ian asked Aisha.
"I haven't been to New York for a long time, I want to visit Raven first!" Aisha replied.
"Revan lives in New York?" Ian asked.
"She's always lived in New York and hasn't changed," Aisha replied.
Ian didn't continue to ask, but he became interested in Mystique:
"Okay, let's go to New York first."
Ian followed Aisha to Queens, New York.
The changes in New York have been turned upside down. Those old neighborhoods have completely disappeared. Even Queens is full of buildings.
However, Queens is still the same Queens, and the security situation is still familiar.
Posters of Spider-Man can still be seen everywhere, which shows how much the residents here love him.
Ian's purpose this time is to accompany Aisha to visit Raven.
But it’s all here, and I happened to meet this New York’s most popular superhero by the way.
The street where Mystique and the others used to live has changed drastically, but fortunately Aisha knows the address of the apartment where she lives now.
After the success of Infinity War, Mystique did not return to the mutant race.
Instead, he returned to New York, continued to be neighbors with the Peter family, and continued to live an ordinary life.
The demolition and relocation have not changed.
Seeing Raven again, Ian's eyes lit up!
The lives of ordinary people this time did not silence Mystique's power.
Ian could clearly feel that the power in her body was very active.
So her ordinary appearance is actually just a return to basics!
Raven's true strength has made great progress compared to the time of Infinity War.
Ian mentally assessed her state:
"Ruiwen is only one step away from the sixth level, but it has reached the bottleneck. If there is no big opportunity, it is impossible to cross this step in a short time!" '
Ian finally knew why Elsa came to visit Raven in the first place.But he was really moved:
'Nowadays the earth is facing internal and external troubles, if there is one more level [-] powerhouse, there is no doubt that there is more hope. '
After some pleasantries, Aisha asked Raven directly:
"Ruiwen, I heard that you have been a little confused recently, have you encountered any problems?"
Raven knew that Ian was the only sixth-level mutant, so he didn't shy away from it. He nodded and replied:
"There is indeed one thing, I..."
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she didn't know how to express it.
"You have doubts about your own strength?" Ian asked proactively.
"Yes!" Raven nodded, and finally organized his words,
"After Infinity War, my ability to imitate has become stronger and stronger. Now I can imitate everyone's abilities with ease, but recently there is always a feeling that I can't finish it..."
She can perfectly imitate other people, including her own abilities, not only mutants, but also other superpowers.
And she can also use the ability to imitate the target to exert a stronger power.
It's just that recently she feels more and more that no matter who she imitates, she can't seem to reach her upper limit?
"Maybe this is the limitation of imitation ability?" Raven thought of this possibility, but she was not reconciled.
"Hmm!..." Ian pondered for a moment, trying to remind,
"Ruiwen, have you ever thought that your ability is not imitation? Or more than imitation!"
Ian is not aimless, pure imitation ability does not have this potential.
Before Raven reached the fifth level, he had doubts.
Afterwards, once Ruiwen had an epiphany, he directly broke through to the fifth level, and then continued to advance by leaps and bounds. In just two or three years, he became close to the sixth level.
Therefore, Ian can be 100% sure that there is definitely another mystery to Raven's ability.
Even he has guessed something.
But he didn't want to tell Raven directly.
It's best for her to understand this kind of thing by herself, this is the most suitable opportunity for her!
The sixth level is a huge threshold, and every life that becomes the strongest in the universe needs to find its own way.
"It's not just imitation?" Raven seemed to realize something, but he just couldn't pierce that layer of paper, couldn't grasp that bit of inspiration.
"You should go out and take a look around more, ordinary life is no longer helpful to you." Ian reminded.
"In the first half of my life, I have traveled almost the entire world and seen the scenery in every corner..." There was a sense of disillusionment in Raven's eyes.
"The past was the past, and the present is the present; before you were just an ordinary mutant, now you have the world's top strength. Different levels, the scenery you see is completely different!" Ian continued to point out.
"...Okay!~" Raven's expression changed, and he finally nodded.
She obviously hasn't fully seen through the world of mortals yet.
"Very good, look at it with your heart, you will gain something!" Ian nodded in satisfaction.
After talking about the business, the atmosphere instantly became active...
After lunch at Raven's house, Ian and Ian left.
During this period, Ian met Peter's aunt, but Peter Parker himself never appeared.
Ian didn't understand until he saw the calendar at the door when he left: 'At this point in time, Peter Parker is still in class, right? '
Calculating the time, Peter Parker should still be in college.
Ian was not disappointed, nor did he deliberately wait.
Spiderman is very popular, but after all, he is still young and not strong enough to entrust important tasks.
Mystique had a surprise here, and Ian decided to change his itinerary.
Let's take a look at the other two mutant leaders, Professor X and Magneto.
I came to Hope Island again, which was quite unexpected, and the place has not changed much.
Obviously, Magneto's center of gravity is not on Earth.
He himself is not on Hope Island, and Professor X sits on Hope Island.
In this era of superheroes, the earth is not safe.
As the ostensible headquarters of the Mutant Brotherhood, Hope Island received a lot of attention even if it kept a low profile, especially those emerging forces that were eager to promote.
In order to maintain deterrence, the professor and Magneto can only take turns sitting on Hope Island.
Ian Yuanyuan saw the professor fishing by the sea, so he flew over directly.
"professor!"
"Ian, Elsa, long time no see!"
"It's not too long! For us, a few years is just a snap of your fingers!" Ian walked to the side.
"A fishing rod?" The professor handed Ian a fishing rod.
Ian took the fishing rod and asked, "When did the professor learn to fish?"
"When you're bored, you always have to pass the time!" replied the professor.
His tone was calm, but Ian could tell that his purpose was not that simple.
Thinking of Raven who had been living an ordinary life, he felt the stagnation of the professor again.
Ian got it with a bit of understanding:
Although Professor X has already passed the age of knowing the fate, but he obviously didn't fully see it, he is still a bit unwilling!
It's a pity that his crux is different from Raven's. He is not a psychological problem, and it is useless to experience life.
Professor X's strength has stagnated, and the root of the problem is that his X gene potential has been exhausted.
Mutants are born from the X gene, and are also limited to the X gene.
Unless Professor X can find a new path, no matter how much he struggles, his strength will not improve a single bit.
"To pass the time, you can actually try to learn something new!" Ian reminded.
Hearing Ian's words, Professor X knew that Ian had seen through his state, so he asked directly:
"Is there really no way to break the upper limit of mutant talent?"
"Of course there is a way. I have mature technology there, and Team Nova is the best example!" Aisha replied instead of Ian.
Professor X shook his head when he heard the words: "X gene completion technology, I know this, can indeed enhance the strength of mutants.
But complementing the X gene is essentially just expanding the upper limit of talent, not breaking the upper limit of talent! "
The official name of the original X gene fusion technology was X gene completion technology.
Professor X saw through the limitations of the technology at a glance.
Limited by the gene pool of the mutant population, level five is the upper limit of X gene fusion.
For ordinary third- and fourth-level mutants, this technology can indeed make a qualitative change in their X abilities.
Team Nova is an elite team built in this way.
But for Professor X, a top-five mutant like Professor X, this technology is basically completely useless.
It is impossible to obtain a level [-] X gene only through base fusion!
This is the conclusion obtained after countless experiments in the laboratory.
"The X gene has an upper limit, but humans have no upper limit. Although mutants have an extra X gene, they are still human in essence!" Ian explained,
"So mutants can also improve their strength through methods other than the X gene!"
"A way other than the X gene?" Professor X was still confused, still unable to find a direction.
Ian was not surprised by this. Professor X's situation was different from Raven's, and it was useless to just give pointers.
What Professor X needs is to bypass the X gene and open up a new path.
But without a corresponding knowledge base or a special reference, it is almost impossible for him to succeed.
With the channels available to Professor X, it is obviously impossible to obtain these things.
Of course, Ian can provide six levels of knowledge, but...
Looking at the expectant Aisha next to him, Ian decided to help Professor X.
"Professor, this is something I got by accident this time, I hope it will be helpful to you!" Ian passed on the knowledge of soul dimensionality to Professor X.
Ian feels that the path of soul dimensionality should be more compatible with psychic abilities, and it may help psychic abilities to find another way.
But whether it works or not, you have to try it to be sure.
Although Aisha also has a fifth-level psychic ability, it is naturally impossible for Ian to let Aisha try such an uncertain thing.
The inherited knowledge of soul dimensionality is brand new knowledge that Professor X has never been exposed to.
He was completely absorbed in it in an instant.
It seems that it is impossible to end in a short time.
"Aisha, let's go first!" Ian greeted Aisha.
But before they left, they still informed the members of the fraternity on Hope Island.
As for Magneto?Ian decided not to see him for a while.
Although I haven't seen Magneto, it can be guessed that the situation he faces is probably similar to that of Professor X.
Since Professor X was given a piece of knowledge up to the sixth level, he naturally couldn't treat Magneto favorably.
But in Ian's hands, there is no suitable path for Magneto, so he can only avoid it for the time being, and talk about it later...
