The extinction crisis looming over mutants was effortlessly neutralized by Roger's overwhelming power.

However, Charles did not immediately announce this victory that could have brought joy to the mutant community.

While the immediate danger to mutants had been eradicated, the underlying tension between mutants and humans still existed. If the mutants were told now that they no longer needed to fear human persecution, those who had endured oppression might retaliate against humans.

This could reignite the war between humans and mutants. And this time, without the Sentinels, humanity would inevitably be the losing side in such a lopsided conflict.

In such a scenario, the persecuted group facing annihilation would no longer be mutants—it would be humanity.

It was with this in mind that Charles decided to keep the news under wraps for the time being.

However, such a secret couldn't be kept forever. Many X-Men, including Logan, were actively working in the field, helping oppressed mutants across the globe.

Over time, these X-Men would notice the absence of Sentinels and that mutants were no longer being hunted. A little investigation would reveal that all the Sentinels had vanished.

Eventually, the entire mutant community would learn of the situation on the human side.

"So, before that happens, you need to prepare a place for mutants to go," Charles said to Roger.

At this moment, Roger had already handed over all the Sentinel-related data to Tony. Upon receiving the information, Tony immediately entered his manic scientist mode, working tirelessly in the X-Men's underground lab to study the Sentinels' production processes.

It wouldn't be long before a new line of Mark-series armors, based on the Sentinels, would be unveiled.

In the meantime, Roger needed to find a new home for the mutants. This was the solution he had discussed with Charles.

"As for a place... do you think another universe might work? I have a lot of friends over there," Roger said hesitantly.

Ultimately, he decided to send the mutants to Tony's universe. That world already had plenty of aliens, so introducing mutants as a new species on another planet—turning them into "aliens"—might just work.

Charles, though reluctant to agree, acknowledged that Earth was the mutants' homeland. Yet under the current circumstances, there seemed to be no better option.

"If you have a plan, follow through with it. For now, you are the guardian of both worlds," Charles sighed.

Hearing Charles call him the guardian of two worlds, Roger couldn't help but feel an invisible weight on his shoulders.

The title of "Guardian" was not something to be taken lightly. It came with great responsibility.

But this time, Roger did not deny or reject the title because he understood that once he obtained the Soul Stone, this responsibility would be unavoidable.

Mentioning the Soul Stone reminded Roger of its significance, prompting him to ask Charles, "Before organizing the migration, tell me where the Soul Stone is."

"...Sorry, I don't know."

"?"

Charles's response left Roger baffled. His brows furrowed, and his tone turned sharp as he asked, "You don't know where the Soul Stone is?"
