"Ahem, so you're... Superman from a parallel world, right? What exactly is this world-threatening crisis you mentioned?"

Charles coughed softly, steering the conversation back on track, and asked Roger this critical question.

Roger claimed to be from a parallel world, a statement that would normally be met with disbelief, as such things sound far-fetched.

However, both Charles and Raven were halfway between belief and doubt. While they didn't fully believe Roger, they also couldn't completely dismiss the possibility.

This was because, ten years ago, a mutant named Logan had appeared, claiming to have traveled back in time from the future. His mission was to prevent the emergence of Sentinel robots, warning the X-Men of that era that mutants in the future were almost entirely wiped out by these machines.

Initially, Charles and his team didn't believe Logan's story. It wasn't until Charles probed Logan's mind and had a telepathic conversation with his future self that they confirmed Logan's true identity as someone from the future.

With this prior experience, Charles maintained a basic level of trust when faced with Roger, this so-called "Superman" from a parallel world. After all, if time travel was possible, then traveling between parallel worlds wasn't that big of a stretch.

Of course, what further bolstered Roger's credibility was the advanced nanotechnology he possessed. Charles had never seen such sophisticated machinery before, not even in movies. The current state of technology in their world simply didn't allow for such precision.

As the conversation returned to the pressing topic, Roger hesitated for a moment before addressing Charles:

"As for the world crisis, I think it might be hard for you to grasp it just through words. How about... you take a look inside my mind?"

"You want me to read your memories?" Charles asked.

Roger responded, "My memories are valuable, so I can't let you access everything. But I'll show you the memories related to the world crisis. This way is much quicker than trying to explain it all."

Thanks to Doctor Strange's special training in mental defense, Roger's mind was fortified. Even a psychic as powerful as Charles wouldn't be able to see anything that Roger didn't want him to.

It might seem a bit ridiculous to claim that Charles, one of the strongest mutants, wouldn't be able to access the mind of a novice magic student. But if you add in the magical barriers left by Doctor Strange, it wasn't so outlandish after all.

To prevent Roger from being mentally compromised by some psychic in a future world, which could render him unconscious or turn him into an unwitting tool, Strange had set up layers of mental defenses for Roger.

These defenses not only allowed Roger to ignore most mind-related powers and magic, but they also gave him full control over his mental space. Additionally, to prevent Roger from facing a situation where someone could forcibly remove his soul, Strange had also fortified his soul's protection.

All of these precautions had one purpose: to ensure that Roger retained his autonomy, unaffected by any power or magic.

Thus, Roger wasn't worried at all that Charles might break through his mental barriers. First, it was doubtful Charles could even do so. Second, Charles had the integrity to respect Roger's boundaries and wouldn't pry into what Roger didn't want him to see.
