Chapter 542: 542. Origin

"I think I have proved myself that I could be trusted. Didn't I?" came a voice from a man who was standing on the doorway looking at them. It was John.

He had finished killing the people responsible and toppling powerful governments and now he was back.

"So done with being a serial killer?" Scott couldn't help but ask.

"I have killed at least 10 times more species than the people I have killed today." John said with a  smile as he didn't mind being labelled as a serial killer. In war, they all commit crimes and nobody is purely right.

"Species? You mean humans?" Storm asked.

"No, I mean species. Aliens." John said.

"Your world have aliens?" all were taken aback listening to such absurd new things. John turned out to be a box of mysteries who goes on dropping new information about his world every time he opens his mouth.

"Of course our world has aliens. Didn't you talk with Peter before? Didn't he say that we have aliens among us?"

"No." Both Erik and Charles answered at the same time.

"Oh. Now you know. Our Earth has trade relations with galactic empires." John said casually but for mutants this was a huge thing. They never expected that John's Earth would be so different.

All the mutants were mumbling and most of them had shining eyes on their faces. They really couldn't wait to go to meet some aliens.

"Why are you all so surprised about aliens? It's not like there aren't aliens in your universe." John said.

"Our universe might have aliens but we have never seen them. That is if we have aliens in this universe." Charles said as he denied and he too was quite interested in John's universe now.

"You might not have seen aliens, but your ancestors did." John said.

"Our ancestors? What does that mean?" Scott asked.

"Umm.. How to say this.. When the multiverse was formed by the Gods they carried out experiments in various species with their technology to see who could adapt to new changes. Our human species were in the forefront and for this reason all of you have the X-gene. That was the result of experimentation by the Gods. Or as we call them ... Celestials."

"You mean to say that our ancestors faced experimentation?" Erik asked.

"Our multiverse was created by Gods….??"

"Huh.."

"Yes. The X-gene is not because of human evolution as opposed to the theory of Sebastian who just was a genocidal maniac. It's because the X-gene has been hereditary and only a few could activate it. You all belong to a special heritage which had privileges during ancient times." John said. But he didn't answer about the creation of the multiverse by the Celestials. That was whole new can of worms

All of the mutants couldn't believe what John had just said. They never expected that their origin was because some Gods wanted to do experiments on humans. This was new knowledge for them.

"How do you know all this assuming you are speaking the truth." Charles asked.

"I did say I have Phoenix Force. It gives me omnipotence and omnipresence. And yes, the Avengers fought against a Celestial once and we even killed one. Well, that Celestial was half dead anyway. Are those reasons enough?" John said as he could see that most of the people here didn't believe the Celestials theory but that was the origin of the mutants.

Experimentation during ancient times!!

"Let's leave your origins for now. I need to talk with all the people of the world." John said as he sat down. He would do what Voldemort had once done in the last war against Hogwarts.

Speak to the minds of the people.

All of the people of the world.

John was sure what he has done in the last 12 hours had spread like wildfire all over the globe. Humans had always been hard to control and only unprecedented fear could stop them, or an enemy  who could make them unite.

In one way John always believed that Madara was right. Only a powerful enemy would bring a disjointed community together. And in this case it was the humans as a species as they needed to come together.

They needed to stop going after mutants and it could only be done if he infused enough fear in them. And what more is a perfect way than to talk to billions of people in their minds. This alone would give them enough fear that would last for generations.

John can't bring all the mutants to his Earth. That was illogical and impossible but he could provide a safe home for them, and he came up with the only feasible idea he could think of.

"To the world? Like a live telecast?" Storm asked.

"No. I will speak to them in their minds like Charles does with his Cerebro. Only in this case I don't need Cerebro."

"You are a telepath?" Charles asked as he was surprised. He did feel before that John might be a telepath but he wasn't sure.

"I guess you can say that."
