.....

It seemed as if the Heaven had heard Roger's prayers, for when he emerged from the crossing point, he found himself in the air once again.

However, this sky was clear. There were no alien warships hovering in the air, no superheroes flying around in a chaotic fashion. Below him lay a clean, blue Earth. Using his X-ray vision, Roger scanned the area. There were no zombies, no robots, and no aliens in sight.

The city below appeared to be a normal human city. People bustled about their daily lives, and nothing struck Roger as out of the ordinary.

The only thing that caught his attention was that the city’s technology seemed a bit outdated. Judging from the cars and the style of the lights, it felt like he was in the 1980s.

Other than that, there was nothing special.

"Wait, the 1980s? No way…"

Having just crossed over from the Marvel universe, Roger found himself in a city reminiscent of the 1980s. This made him think of Captain Marvel’s origin story.

"Did I stumble onto the set of Captain Marvel?"

Roger couldn’t help but entertain the thought, though it was just a guess.

The odds of landing in another Marvel universe right after leaving one were slim. Plus, if Roger were still in the Marvel universe, the Watcher would have shown up to chat with him by now. It wouldn’t be this peaceful.

More importantly, Captain Marvel's main story takes place in the 1990s. Based on the timeline of his recent crossings, it was unlikely that Roger had been thrown this far back.

So, conservatively speaking, this probably wasn’t Captain Marvel’s world.

Regardless, speculating wasn't as effective as simply going down and finding out what was going on in this world.

Scanning the city below, Roger deactivated his nanotech suit, revealing the casual clothes he wore underneath. He found a random dark alley to land in, strolling out casually as if he had just walked through it.

Judging by the clothing and the language spoken by the people around him, Roger seemed to still be in the United States.

Fortunately, Roger wasn’t one for flashy outfits. He always wore simple clothes like jeans and a jacket, allowing him to blend in without drawing much attention.

"So, what should I do now? Should I gather information about this world, or find a place to rest first?"

As Roger walked down the street, he contemplated his next move.

This time was different from the previous two crossings. The first time, he had taken the place of Homelander and had to use Homelander’s identity to deal with Vought International. 

The second time, he had crossed into the Marvel Zombies universe, and as soon as he arrived, he encountered the Black Order from space, followed shortly by members of the Avengers. His goal naturally transitioned into saving the world.

But this time, Roger was just a free man. He hadn’t run into any world-shattering events yet, leaving him unsure of what to do next.

"Let’s start by figuring out what kind of world this is."

After thinking it over, Roger decided that understanding the nature of this world would help him determine his next steps.

Initially, Roger thought it would be difficult to figure out what world he had entered. After all, up to this point, he hadn’t seen anything or anyone familiar.

But he had only wandered for five minutes before spotting a news report related to this world in a glass display outside a store selling televisions.

"It has been ten years since mutants first appeared in the public eye. Today, we celebrate the tenth anniversary of peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants…"

"Mutants...?"

Roger’s brow furrowed slightly. From this news report, he immediately understood the nature of this world.

This was the world of Marvel's **X-Men**!

Although Roger was surprised to have crossed into the Marvel universe again, technically, the X-Men world was separate from the main Marvel universe. It wasn’t even considered part of the multiverse.

Originally, the rights to the X-Men franchise weren’t owned by Marvel. As a result, the first three X-Men movies had their own self-contained universe, completely independent from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Even though the rights had since returned to Marvel, it seemed that Marvel had no plans to integrate the X-Men into the main MCU anytime soon.

Before Roger crossed over, there had been rumors online suggesting that the multiverse series might bring the X-Men into the main MCU. However, this was pure speculation, with no official confirmation.

Therefore, the Marvel multiverse and the X-Men film series should be entirely separate. This explained why, despite being in a Marvel world, the Watcher hadn’t shown up to chat with Roger.

"X-Men, huh... I wonder if I’ll get to meet Wolverine."

When one thinks of the X-Men, it’s impossible not to think of its most famous character, Wolverine.

Among the X-Men films, Roger's favorite character was Wolverine, followed closely by Magneto.

Roger liked Wolverine because he was the series' main protagonist and had even starred in his own solo films. As for Magneto, Roger enjoyed his grandiose entrances.

Every time Magneto appeared, the spectacle was enormous. Whether it was lifting the Golden Gate Bridge or an entire stadium, his scenes always thrilled Roger.

The third character Roger liked was Quicksilver from the newer series.

The reason was the same, the time-slowing special effects during Quicksilver’s scenes were just mesmerizing to Roger.

In short, Roger loved grand special effects and big set pieces, which is why he gravitated towards characters like Magneto.

"Let me try to figure out the current timeline..."

Seeing a photo of Magneto on the television, along with the headline "Ten Years of Peaceful Coexistence Between Mutants and Humans," Roger could roughly estimate the timeline.

Ten years ago, the most notable event marking mutants’ public debut was Magneto’s attack on the President… Speaking of which, why was the President of the U.S. always so unlucky, getting targeted by everyone?

Ten years ago, Magneto had attacked the President, revealing the existence of mutants. Led by Professor X, the X-Men had fought tooth and nail to stop Magneto and save the President, leading to the government’s recognition of mutants.

Now, ten years later, Magneto was missing, and the X-Men were teaching at the school Professor X had founded, educating mutant children from around the world.

So far, everything had been peaceful, and people were even celebrating the harmonious coexistence between the two species.

But if Roger remembered correctly, ten years ago was the plot of the film **X-Men: Days of Future Past**, and now, ten years later, was the storyline of **X-Men: Apocalypse**.

Which meant...

"Am I going to fight Apocalypse? No, no, no, they won’t need me to fight Apocalypse, right?"

If the plot followed the original movie, the X-Men would ultimately defeat Apocalypse, with or without Roger’s involvement. This wasn’t like the Marvel Zombies universe, where Roger played a crucial role.

So, for now, it seemed like Roger didn’t need to do anything. He could just wait for the X-Men to fight Apocalypse, and then go watch the spectacle up close.

That was what Roger initially thought.

But as he continued thinking about it, Roger suddenly recalled a scene from the original movie that left a deep impression on him.

It was from the latter part of the movie, where Apocalypse used his powers to turn Cairo, Egypt into ruins and constructed a massive pyramid in an attempt to seize Professor X’s abilities.

The film had gone to great lengths to emphasize Apocalypse’s power, using top-notch special effects to show the city crumbling into ruins and the pyramid rising from the ground in a magnificent display.

Roger had thoroughly enjoyed watching that scene, after all, it was just a movie.

But now that he was in the world of that movie, Roger couldn’t help but think about one thing.

What about the ordinary people living in Cairo?
