Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 398: Chapter 398



Under the watchful eyes of Professor X and the others, Logan began to speak, his tone somber.

"This is about Messiah's secret," he said.

"Messiah?" Sunspot and the others blinked in surprise.

What secret could Messiah possibly have? And at a time like this, was it really the moment for secrets?

As these thoughts crossed their minds, Logan's expression grew even more serious. Fixing his gaze on Professor X and Magneto, he said, "This secret is about you two."

The weight of his words left everyone, including Professor X, momentarily stunned.

Then came the shocking revelation.

"Messiah… is your child."

"What?!"

The words exploded like a thunderclap. Even Professor X and Magneto were rendered speechless.

"Messiah is their child?" Ororo said in disbelief.

At first, she and the others assumed Logan meant Messiah was perhaps a foster child or someone the two had taken under their wing. Even Professor X and Magneto briefly entertained the same thought.

But Logan shattered those assumptions.

"I mean biologically. Messiah has both of your DNA," Logan clarified.

The silence that followed was deafening. Everyone's expressions froze in utter disbelief.

"Our biological child?" Magneto stammered. "That's impossible. We're both men!"

He gestured awkwardly between himself and Charles, his embarrassment evident.

"Logan, this isn't funny," Sunspot said, frowning. "This is hardly the time for jokes."

Logan, however, shook his head. "I'm serious. Messiah carries both of your genes. He was created in a lab—using advanced technology."

Logan then briefly recounted what he had learned from his contact, Chris, about the experimental facility responsible for Messiah's creation.

The explanation left Professor X and Magneto stiff and silent.

While bizarre, the idea wasn't entirely implausible. In a world filled with strange and advanced technologies, such a method was disturbingly possible.

"So…"

"It's true? Messiah is really their child?" Ororo asked, her voice trembling with shock.

Two men's child, and not just any two men—but Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr.

As the others struggled to process the revelation, Professor X and Magneto exchanged a glance. The confusion and uncertainty in each other's eyes were unmistakable.

If this was true, how were they supposed to treat Messiah? And how would this revelation impact their relationship moving forward?

The atmosphere between them became undeniably strained.

Logan sighed, breaking the silence. "Chris told me to keep this secret, to wait until Messiah agreed before saying anything. But given the situation, I felt it was better to reveal it now. We might not survive this."

His words drew their attention to the sky, where nearly two thousand Sentinels loomed.

The sheer number of machines left their hearts heavy with dread.

Logan's assessment was grim but accurate. There was no surviving this. Not even Messiah, with all his incredible power, could overcome such overwhelming odds without succumbing to exhaustion.

Kitty's voice broke through the despair. "Maybe I can use my ability to send someone's consciousness back in time, to change the present?"

Her suggestion reignited a spark of hope.

"Yes, let's try that!"

With urgency, Logan lay down, and Kitty prepared to use her power to send his consciousness back a few minutes to buy them time.

Meanwhile, Magneto, Professor X, and the others cast anxious glances between Kitty, Logan, and the distant figure of Messiah, standing alone against the horde.

Far above, Syd floated calmly. The overwhelming swarm of Sentinels failed to ruffle him in the slightest.

In the palm of his hand, the Space Stone appeared, shimmering faintly.

Casting a glance at the dark, cloud-covered sky, Syd's voice resonated with authority.

"I say, let there be light."

The words carried a cadence of absolute truth, reverberating across the battlefield.

The darkened skies, long obscured by ominous clouds, were suddenly pierced by radiant sunlight.

Brilliant rays illuminated the earth, casting away the gloom and painting the scene in breathtaking splendor.

For the first time in what felt like an eternity, the world saw sunlight again.

The sheer beauty and grandeur of the moment left everyone spellbound.

The darkness that had dominated their lives seemed to vanish entirely, replaced by a sense of hope and renewal, as if a god had descended upon the earth.

Kitty, who had been about to activate her ability, froze mid-action, her gaze locked on the sky.

In that moment, she felt as though she had been transported back to a serene morning from long ago.

What just happened?

Was it… him?

All eyes turned to Messiah, his figure illuminated by the sunlight.

The words he had spoken echoed in their minds: Let there be light.

"Is he… a god?" Kitty murmured, her voice filled with awe.

His proclamation mirrored the biblical passage: God said, "Let there be light," and light banished the darkness of the void.

For everyone present, Messiah's words carried the same divine weight.

They tried to glimpse the edge of the sunlight but found no end to its reach. Everywhere they looked, the sun's brilliance reigned supreme.
