Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Cosplayer?

Storm, standing nearby, remarked, "It's terrifying. If Alex's power keeps increasing without a limit, won't there come a time when no one can stop him?"

Hearing Storm's question, Professor X fell into a long silence. He didn't know how to answer her and could only say slowly, "That's precisely why we must guide him onto the right path."

Cyclops suddenly asked, "So how do we bring him onto the right path?"

With that question, everyone fell into silence...

High above the ground, Alex walked through the air, covering hundreds of meters with each step.

During the confrontation with the X-Men earlier, Alex had stopped his attack and chosen to leave for two reasons.

First, Jean Grey possessed the Phoenix Force, one of the most feared entities in the Marvel Multiverse, representing all life and emotion. As one of the oldest powers, the full Phoenix Force could disassemble, transform, reassemble, create, and destroy anything at will, even bend causality and timelines.

It could traverse any dimension, universe, or plane without restriction. The complete Phoenix Force is an entity have reached nigh omnipotence.

Even though Jean Grey only harbored a tiny fragment of this power, it was still enough to make her an extremely powerful Omega mutant.

Because Alex wasn't sure if his Limitless Technique could block the Phoenix's ability to disassemble matter, or if his Reverse Cursed Technique's regeneration could outpace the Phoenix's disintegration, he decided not to take the risk.

Second, a conflict between the X-Men and Colonel Stryker was inevitable.

Previously, Alex had asked Tony Stark to find Stryker, but knowing that he was being targeted by Alex, Stryker had intentionally hidden himself.

Even Tony Stark couldn't find his whereabouts. Alex then asked S.H.I.E.L.D. for help, but they had the same result.

So, he planned to use the X-Men to draw Stryker out. The latter, who had a deep hatred for mutants, would definitely make a move against the X-Men!

The bait was set, and now it was just a matter of waiting for the fish to bite!

As he sat down, noticing the confused looks from Thor and his friends, Alex grinned brightly, "Hey everyone, nice to meet you. I'm Alex, though others prefer to call me the White Mutant, or White Hair, but just call me White if you want. Can I get to know you all?"

Hearing Alex introduce himself, everyone except Thor burst into laughter. Thor's future girlfriend, Jane Foster, chuckled, "You're the White Mutant? What a coincidence! We've got a Norse god of thunder right here!"

Turning to Thor, she added with a teasing smile, "Isn't that right, Thor?"

Thor, who had been dismissed by everyone as just another crazy person after losing his powers, suddenly felt a deep connection with this 'weak' human who recognized him.

"That's right, I am Thor, the son of Odin! You've got a good eye. When I reclaim Mjolnir and return to Asgard, I'll be sure to reward you handsomely!"

Alex's smile widened even more, "Thank you, Prince Thor!"

Seeing the man calling himself the White Mutant chatting so cheerfully with Thor, the others at the table couldn't help but laugh.

One Thor was already troublesome enough, and now there was another crazy person!

At that moment, Thor recalled Alex's introduction and, noticing the reactions of the people around him, curiously asked, "Are you famous? Why is everyone looking at you?"

Before Alex could respond, Jane Foster answered for him, "He's pretending to be a very famous character..."

After Jane explained the concept of cosplay, Thor finally understood, and with a hearty laugh, he said to Alex, "That White Mutant must be pretty weak. You should cosplay as me, the mighty Thor—that would be much cooler!"

With Thor repeatedly patting him on the back, Alex remained silent, though his smile grew deeper and more enigmatic...
