"Is that so... That's what you believe."

Charles pondered Roger's words.

Roger pushed him as they stopped walking. He turned to Charles and said:

"Although they may look the same on the outside, their races are now different. Mutants used to be hidden in the shadows, unknown to the world. But now, mutants have stepped into the light and are known to humans.

"For a short time, perhaps due to Mystique's influence, humans and mutants may live in peace. But eventually, there will be conflict between the two races.

"Especially when mutants capable of world-ending destruction emerge."

"Like Apocalypse?"

"Exactly. And also..."

Roger glanced back at the Mutant Academy behind him, as if his gaze pierced through the walls, seeing Jean Grey inside, partying with Scott.

Mutants are categorized into five levels. An Alpha-level mutant is equivalent to a level four, while the Omega-level is level five.

There are many level-four mutants, including Magneto and Professor X. Roger wasn't sure about Apocalypse, but he probably wasn't Omega-level.

In the entire cinematic world, Jean Grey seems to be the only one capable of reaching the Omega level.

She is the most powerful mutant in history. Some even say that if Jean hadn't died in the future, the Sentinels would never have pushed mutants to the brink of extinction.

When Roger referred to a mutant powerful enough to destroy the world, he was talking about Jean Grey.

Charles noticed Roger's gaze and knew who he was looking at.

"Jean won't turn into someone like Apocalypse, I promise."

For reasons unknown, Charles assured Roger with those words.

Roger responded, "I know she won't. But others don't know that. Humans don't know that. All they'll see is that Jean Grey's power is overwhelming, too much for humanity to handle."

"We'll protect her."

"Are you sure it won't be her protecting you in the future?"

Roger half-jokingly said.

Charles smiled helplessly and replied, "I know she'll grow into someone that powerful, but before that happens, I hope I can find them a proper home."

"Hmm, so that's your goal?"

Now that the conversation had reached this point, Charles finally revealed his true purpose. But before he could speak, Roger interrupted:

"I know why you came to me today. You want to use me to find a suitable world for mutants, a place where they can survive, right?"

"Can you do that?"

Charles countered.

Roger looked toward the lake and softly answered:

"I'm not sure. Maybe one day I'll find such a world. Maybe I won't. But I have a question for you, Charles."

"What question?"

"Why should I help you?"

"..."

"I'm not a mutant. I don't belong to this world. I have no connection to your world. I have no responsibility or obligation to help mutants leave this world. So, Charles, answer me. Why should I help you?"
