"Can we really earn people's respect?"
The young first-generation X-Men exchanged glances. After listening to Lancelot's passionate and inspiring speech, their blood boiled with excitement.
Especially when Lancelot described the future of mutants—they were thrilled at the thought of leading humanity down the path of evolution, and of becoming great explorers and pioneers through their mutant abilities. What an honor!
"The era of evolutionary flight is about to begin. We mutants are the first explorers sailing the seas of evolution. Just as Columbus discovered new lands, it is up to us to discover and explore the path of evolution," Lancelot said, his voice calm but resolute.
"Come, follow me, and you will gain glory and respect." Lancelot extended his hand, his gaze burning into the eyes of the young mutants. This time, he did not use Geass.
For this confused, directionless young generation, Lancelot merely needed to act as a guide, and they would voluntarily follow him.
At this moment, Lancelot also silently acknowledged Professor X. The current Professor X was not the wise elder of the future—he was young, vibrant, and indifferent to the plight of mutants. His opposition to Black Huangxiao was only to prevent the premature end of this beautiful world.
Professor X had never considered setting goals for mutants or guiding them through confusion and hardship. That was why Lancelot had come to deliver his "Mutant Glory" theory, which resonated deeply with these young X-Men and sparked admiration for him.
"Lancelot, it's an honor to meet you," Raven said without hesitation, stepping forward and eagerly looking at Lancelot.
She gracefully approached, gently taking Lancelot's right hand.
"Hey, Raven, you can't just do that! Aren't we a team?" Beast Hank, who had been somewhat ambivalent toward Raven, was the first to caution her.
"Yeah, Raven, aren't we a team?" Sean Cassidy echoed. Though he agreed with Lancelot's words, he hesitated to follow him, uncertain of Lancelot's true mutant powers.
Unlike the inexperienced Lancelot, Cassidy still possessed telepathy, while Professor X and Magneto could control metal—making them stronger and more knowledgeable.
"You can't just leave, Raven," muttered the usually quiet Shocker Alex.
"Look around," Raven replied softly, her brow furrowed, instinctively tightening her grip on Lancelot's hand. "What do you see in their eyes? Hatred, fear, prejudice."
Beast Hank and the others fell silent. Though they had lived here for a month, they had often been ridiculed and mocked by humans, treated like monkeys in a zoo.
For an entire month, they had faced human disdain, fear, and malice, so they numbed themselves with gatherings to forget the strange gazes around them.
Now, Raven's unflinching resolve exposed their scars, making it impossible for them to stop her decision.
"Lancelot, I believe you're right. I am not suited for combat. Extreme environments are where I truly belong," Darwin finally spoke, stepping to Lancelot's left.
"Hank," Raven looked at Beast Hank expectantly, encouragingly—but Hank hesitated and shook his head slightly.
Hank still considered himself human, just a man with large feet. Deep down, he refused to accept his identity as a mutant.
"Raven, I've developed a variant suppressor using your cellular genes," Hank said, stepping forward to hand her a glowing blue syringe.
"Thank you, Hank, but I don't think I need it anymore," Raven replied with a grateful glance, shaking her head gently.
"A mutation suppressor?" Lancelot observed with interest, smiling at the vial in Raven's hand.
"Hank, if possible, I want all research data on this drug," Lancelot said.
"Research data?" Hank hesitated, looking at Raven. He believed the study used her cells, so he sought her consent.
With Raven's nod, Hank led Lancelot to his lab, providing all information about the "mutation suppressor."
"Lancelot, is this vial important to you?" Raven asked, noticing his smile.
"No. It's useless for me. But for mutants with altered bodies, it's extremely useful," Lancelot said meaningfully, handing the vial and research files to Sabretooth Victor.
"Let's go. It's time to leave," Lancelot said, casting a deep glance at Beast Hank before departing with Raven and the others.
Hank thought he had created a suppressor for his mutant abilities.
But Lancelot, familiar with the truth, knew the drug was not a suppressor at all.
Its correct name: Mutant Growth Hormone.
It was this growth hormone that allowed Hank to evolve from ordinary human legs into his full Beast form, granting him strength and speed.
As Lancelot said, this drug had no effect on him or even Raven, but it was powerful enough to allow estranged mutants like Sabretooth Victor to transform directly into Level 5 mutants.
