"Dear, I'm working overtime today!"

"X is on target, 'Master of Illusion' has failed."

"The military has sealed off Manhattan, refusing to disclose information about the mutant. According to sources, the military's operation in Manhattan has suffered a devastating defeat, and we don't know what's happening inside..."

Electromagnetic waves drifted in the sky, and Jason could see the information they carried.

Countless strange waves reflected countless invisible and imperceptible things in the world. Jason could even see strange creatures living in the same space, yet they were untouchable to the human world of Earth. The two worlds had been so close, yet they could not sense each other.

A shapeless creature passed through a human body, and neither of them noticed each other. Countless worlds overlapped in space.

"Isn't it amazing?" Chen Ang stood beside him, looking at this strange world and smiled. "Visible light waves are electromagnetic waves between 0.3 to 3 μm. Infrared and ultraviolet are worlds beyond human vision, but they can still be observed with instruments. But how much of the world do humans really know?"

"Less than three ten-thousandths. The world I see is already a hundred times larger than what humans have discovered. Electromagnetic waves can be seen, radiation can be seen, space can be seen, and gravity can also be seen. There are countless worlds that cannot be perceived, and these undiscovered worlds have another name—dark matter."

"This is the world I see, this is the concept I understand. If you want to deceive me, don't use those low-level attributes, like a pixel game, to deceive my senses." Chen Ang looked at Jason and sighed.

He raised his right palm and smiled calmly. Suddenly, a distorted air appeared in his palm, and a blue spot gradually expanded.

"Color!" The blue, whether intense or faint, twisted in Chen Ang's hand.

"Shape!" The blue formed the outline of a flower, indistinguishable from reality.

"Mass!" The blue flower fell into Chen Ang's palm.

"Texture!" Chen Ang handed the small flower to Jason, and Jason felt the almost real touch.

"Temperature!" Jason felt the small flower in his hand come to life.

"Sound!" The sound of the wind passing through the petals.

"Smell!" The scent of sunlight and the fragrance of the petals.

"Taste!" Jason plucked a petal and chewed it slowly, a bitter taste filled his tongue.

"And the things you can't see, hear, or touch!" Jason didn't notice any changes in the petal.

"Is what you see real? The concepts built by your senses, the attributes of things perceived, humans live in a world of senses, and they are easily deceived, changed, and controlled..." On the other side of the Earth, countless people screamed, pointing at the rising sun, watching everything reappear in the sunlight.

The moon and the sun appeared in the same sky.

"Impossible, impossible!" Jason uncontrollably picked up the small flower, looking around frantically, grabbing his hair, and kneeling on the ground in despair, howling.

Chen Ang merged into the wind, but his voice echoed everywhere.

"I deceive your eyes, I deceive your ears, I deceive all your senses, I deceive your understanding of the world, and even your powers. I create your world, I change your personality..."

Jason felt a deep darkness enveloping him. He passed through the darkness and came to an ordinary world. In the distance, the large crater left by the electromagnetic cannon was still smoking. The King of the Earth struggled to stand up, and beneath him was a steel man with a metallic sheen.

They saw Chen Ang, and the King of the Earth roared, grabbing the steel man beside him and throwing him with all his might. Sharp blades appeared on the steel man's limbs, shooting towards Chen Ang's head!

But everything froze instantly. Jason saw himself raise his hand, his powers silently affecting the steel man and the King of the Earth, changing his five senses, deceiving his subconscious, and even his powers.

The steel man turned into a steel statue, and the King of the Earth turned into a stone statue. They were frozen in that moment, their powers turning into restraints from their arms and weapons, binding them everywhere. They felt their bodies stiffen bit by bit, losing control of their powers, and their roars turned into statues.

Chen Ang's voice clearly echoed in his ears: "I am the Master of Illusion!"

X-Weapons, all destroyed!

Striker's face was pale, and his hat had disappeared. He and General Wick trembled as they watched the screen, seeing the spasming Deadpool in the electric current, the struggling fluid in the steel ball, the King of the Earth turned into a stone statue, the steel man turned into a large iron block, and finally, the "Master of Illusion" kneeling before Chen Ang.

The throne slowly rose, and Chen Ang stood at the peak, his gaze piercing through the endless sky and sea, meeting the eyes of Magneto hundreds of miles away. Magneto looked at the metal floating in front of him and smiled, nodding.

He took a piece of tissue from the steel man, a bit of blood from the King of the Earth, and samples from the fluid, Deadpool, and the "Master of Illusion." The throne behind him opened a large door, revealing the precision instruments of the Manhattan research institute. An invisible force field hand grabbed the five X-Weapons and brought them inside, and the door slammed shut.

Using the most advanced scientific instruments, the advanced technology of the Star Wars universe, and the magical powers and laws of this world, Chen Ang moved through various instruments, trying to replicate the black technology of the Star Wars universe. He worked on the living metal cells of the steel man, the cell magnetic field of the King of the Earth, the brain secretions of the "Master of Illusion," the astonishingly resilient cancer cells of Deadpool, and the mimetic cells of the fluid.

Of course, there was also the anti-gravity engine. Even without advanced material processing technology, Chen Ang's gravity manipulation ability allowed him to replicate a scaled-down version of the anti-gravity engine.

On the other side, Striker collapsed on the ground, trembling. He slumped in the corner, his eyes vacant. Suddenly, the door in front of him opened, and Professor X, in his wheelchair, glided in, smiling at the pale Striker.

"Your hat!" The professor put Striker's hat back on him. Striker trembled, quickly stepping back a few steps, his face ashen. "Do you think this can defeat me, Professor? I won't let you go, I won't let any of the mutant scum go!"

"Shut up!" Cyclops grabbed him fiercely and slammed him against the wall.

"Red-eyed scum! Coward!" Striker raged. "Dare you take off your glasses and let your two light bulbs out, come on!"

"I'll kill you!" Cyclops angrily pressed his hand on his glasses.

"Scott, stop!" The professor stopped Cyclops, coming to Striker and sighing. "Even though I don't agree with you and even dislike you, our goals are the same—to stop X. The Department of Defense believes we need to work with you, and I need you to do something."

"Ha! What?" Striker sneered.

"Stop them from releasing Magneto! The Brotherhood of Mutants won't go after X; they will only unite. The Department of Defense's plan to make them fight each other won't work." The professor said sincerely.

"Alright, I will!" Striker unexpectedly agreed, "But I have one condition!" he said cunningly.

"X-Men, go and catch that person!"

"That's exactly why we're here!" The professor sighed.

The research on living metal cells went more smoothly than Chen Ang had expected. Using the knowledge and technology of the Star Wars universe's nanorobots, metal viruses, and iron-based cosmic life, Chen Ang modified these metal cells. A silver-gray metallic life form appeared on his lab bench.

Behind him, countless lab benches worked under the control of the gravitational field. The five X-Weapons were placed on injection tables, and red evolution agents were slowly injected into their bodies. Chen Ang, who controlled their personalities, paid no attention as they evolved their abilities.

Professor X watched the bustling laboratory, sensing Magneto's brain waves reappear in New York, and sighed deeply. A thought suddenly appeared in Chen Ang's mind: "I agree to your cooperation!"

"You won't regret it!"

"I hope so!"
