Anna looked up, her moist eyes gazing at Aaron. "Did you cure my body?"
Aaron shook his head. "Your Mutant ability currently only affects living organic life forms."
"If the target is a Robot, an Energy Life Form, or another type of Supernatural Body, it will be difficult for it to take effect."
Anna nodded, half-understanding.
She didn't quite understand, she only knew that Aaron could remain unaffected by her.
She had met many people, and only Aaron possessed this ability.
Could Aaron be her destined other half?
The blush on her tender face deepened a few shades.
She quickly went behind Aaron, staring blankly at his back, her mind wandering, completely unaware of Logan's constantly twitching lips.
Aaron looked over and asked, "Is this gentleman having a fit?"
Logan instantly snapped back to reality, returning to normal.
His wolf-like eyes were filled with intense hostility.
However, Aaron said, "If you're sick, you should get it treated. I can arrange for a 50% discount at Aaron Industries' hospitals."
Logan ground his teeth, feeling his claws eager to emerge.
Charles shook his head helplessly at this scene. "Alright, now that Anna's matter is resolved, perhaps we can discuss the Celestials?"
Charles's words brought the conversation back on track.
The sour smell of romance lingering in the air gradually faded.
Scott and Logan stared at Aaron expressionlessly, but their minds were completely elsewhere, not on the Celestials.
"I don't know much about the Celestials and Mutants."
Aaron waved his hand and a grand and beautiful scene appeared before them.
It was a magnificent giant, nurturing a scorching star between its hands.
"The Celestials are cosmic beings. They created light and dispelled darkness. You can understand it as: they created stars, allowing the Universe to have the possibility of giving birth to life."
The scene shifted,
A massive Celestial came to Earth. It towered into the clouds, larger than the tallest mountains. And at its feet, countless simply dressed humans knelt.
"The Celestials came to Earth many years ago and left special, latent Mutant genes within some primitive humans on Earth. And this gene is what you call the X-gene."
"This was just an experiment by the Celestials. They quickly left Earth and began new experiments."
The scene shifted again.
The Celestials left Earth.
But some humans with special abilities began to appear among mankind. They were the ancestors of Mutants, passing down the X-gene from generation to generation.
"In a sense, Mutants can indeed be called God's favored children, although strictly speaking, they are not the commonly understood God."
Everyone present watched the awe-inspiring scenes on the screen while processing the story of the Celestials that Aaron was telling.
Their thoughts drifted to those ancient times.
What impressed them most was undoubtedly the Celestials, who were even larger than stars.
What a magnificent existence.
Jean opened her mouth, but considering the situation, she said nothing.
The Celestials created the sun, and humans.
Aaron is also a Celestial.
So Aaron created humans?
The thought of being with the God who created her, made Jean's thighs involuntarily clench.
How exciting.
Gwen, beside her, looked at Aaron with flickering eyes.
On this day, she completely transitioned from an ordinary person into the domain of the extraordinary.
Having experienced this vibrant real world, Gwen felt that she could never return to her mundane past life.
Her heart was filled with complex emotions.
She wondered how she would face Aaron, her boss, in the future.
For some reason, she felt that her future destiny would be inextricably linked with Aaron.
Charles and the other Mutants remained silent for a long time.
"Did the Celestials leave our world?"
"Did they abandon us?"
"Why? We are their creations." Ororo murmured.
Aaron looked at her, his tone faint. "To those Celestials, Earth is just an inconspicuous grain of sand in a sea of sand, their gaze is on the sea of stars."
"Don't fantasize that the Celestials will come to save you."
"They don't care."
The air grew heavier.
But Jean's eyes were bright and spirited.
Yes, those Celestials don't care.
But she already has another Celestial.
Noticing Jean's deep gaze, Aaron turned his head, met her eyes, and smiled slightly.
He did not reveal another cruel truth.
The Celestials actually care about Earth, but they care about Tiamut within Earth.
Mutants...
Perhaps they have long forgotten.
The day Tiamut is born, Mutants will face destruction.
"The creator... doesn't care."
Charles murmured to himself, his once bright eyes gradually becoming clouded and lost.
The good news is, they are indeed "God's" favored children.
The bad news is, God has long abandoned them, and these so-called favored children are nothing more than experimental equipment.
"The Celestials see us as lab rats, and those politicians also see us as lab rats."
"Are we forever destined to be lab rats?"
"Damn it!"
Logan fiercely bared his claws, lightly swiping them and leaving a scratch several tens of centimeters deep on the nearby wall.
"Ah!"
"Who?!"
Suddenly hearing a woman's voice, Logan vigilantly looked to the other side.
Charles snapped back to attention. "Shadowcat, come out."
As he spoke, a girl with long flaxen hair, dressed in black leather, emerged from the wall beside Logan.
"I'm sorry, Professor." Shadowcat whispered, lowering her head.
Charles apologized to Aaron, "This is Kitty Pryde, codenamed Shadowcat. She has the ability to phase through walls."
"I know her, a very good ability."
Aaron looked at Kitty with an appreciative gaze.
Kitty smiled happily when she heard Aaron's praise.
But then she remembered being caught eavesdropping and couldn't smile anymore.
Charles shook his head. "Don't praise her, her ability is still far inferior to yours."
Aaron smiled without speaking, genuinely thinking highly of Kitty.
In terms of potential, Ororo, Scott, and even Professor X himself might not have as much as Kitty.
Kitty's ability isn't that bad.
In the Days of Future Past timeline a few years later, she made an indelible contribution to the fate of Mutants.
She was practically the best support throughout.
Her phasing attribute can be considered a conceptual ability. Theoretically, she can phase through all "objects."
Including walls with specific forms, and even "time" which has no physical existence.
In Days of Future Past, she used her phasing ability to send Wolverine's consciousness decades into the past, preventing Mystique from assassinating Bolivar Trask.
Therefore, the higher-ups did not approve the Sentinel program, thus altering the timeline and giving Mutants another future.
Aaron speculated that this future was more likely a branch of the timeline, and the original future had not changed. But at least a "good" timeline where Mutants lived appeared.
This was also because Kitty had not undergone systematic training.
If she were trained by Aaron, her phasing ability would become much stronger. Perhaps she could even phase through time and space.
Of course, theory is just theory. This ability mainly depends on Kitty's own X-gene potential.
If she could truly phase through time and space, then she would have a place among Omega-level Mutants.
Thinking further, if he could fuse Kitty's ability, how much stronger could Aaron become with his physique?
Seeing Aaron staring intently at her, Kitty's face instantly flushed, and she lowered her head shyly, barely able to see her toes.
Charles's heart skipped a beat at Aaron's action.
Could it be that Aaron was interested in Kitty's Molecular Shapeshifting ability?
But Kitty can only phase through some objects, right?
Is a purely supportive ability really that noteworthy?
Charles shook his head, pushing these distracting thoughts out of his mind.
