[State Home for Foundlings]
Now I felt guilty for going into her memories so I decided to apologize to her. There was no need to as she didn't know but then there would be no difference between me and other telepaths who use their powers as they please, yes, I am looking at you, Professor X.
But.
'This caught me off guard too.'
I thought as I looked at the red-eyed girl with raven hair and white skin, she looked around fourteen to fifteen years old holding my arms between her modest-ahem nothing.
I have learned from my past.
(I looked at you, yes you, and said "Did you think it would happen again? Nope.")
"Who are you talking to Alex?" The girl asked me curiously which looked cute, honestly.
"Nothing. But you have to leave me Sarah, I have to talk about something with Miss Renko. So can you stop holding my arm? You should talk to your parents they were worried about you, you know?" I said as she pouted and rushed to her parents. Christopher was looking at her with a stiff smile while Katherine was placating crying little Alex Summers.
Yeah, Alex Summers was the younger sibling, there was no Scott Summers or I would say there is a female version of him here Sarah Summers which was confirmed when I found that she was absorbing sunlight, the energy was going in her eyes but her mutation is not activated, yet.
I am certain in a few months her mutation which allows her to open portals that are her eyes using solar energy, to a dimension filled with Kinetic Energy, firing optic blasts, in reality, she should have awakened it and not been able to control it due to a trauma Mister Sinister subjected to him and his brother but, considering there is not bastard with clone fetish instead there is Claudia Renko who should be Miss Sinister but instead she is a good person which is a relief.
And here I got a chance to recruit a Genius-Level Geneticist, I need her to research some species that used their right to be slaughtered by me earlier.
So I approached Miss Renko
"Excuse me, Miss Renko do you have some time to spare? I have to talk about something important." I said with a smile that even made her blush which is due to my max-level charisma and looks though, I only allowed a few people to see as that can be seen that the children just looked at me curiously for a moment then resumed their activities as they see me as any other person.
She was also confused by my approach and why the children were ignoring me but then as she came to the realization she apologized to the kids "Sorry kids, I will have to go uncle wants to talk about something with me okay? Don't cause ruckus otherwise no chocolates."
"Okay. Miss Renko./ Yes Ma'am. / No Problem."
I grimaced at being called uncle but no big deal.
After dealing with the kids we went inside her office she gestured for me to sit and asked "So what do you want to talk Mr. Alex?"
I looked into her eyes and said in a neutral tone "I want to make something clear first." Seeing her confused look I elaborated "Are you related to Nathaniel Essex or you may recognize him as Mister Sinister." She visibly shivered at the mention of Sinister and her eyes could feel heat gathering in the middle of her forehead I immediately clarified "I am just asking I don't seek any harm to you."
Her attacks may not harm me but they will surely ruin the atmosphere.
She calmed down but was more than ready to attack me.
"So can you tell me?" I inquired.
"He is dead." She answered without further elaboration.
"I know he is dead. Okay. Let's change the question What Sinister did do to you? You can choose to not tell me but I can help you with your situation. I am an Omega-level telepath and I know something is wrong with your mind let me help you." I lied as I am not Omega but above but it will cause another shitstorm. She fell silent pondering whether to tell me or not after some thinking she decided to tell me.

[Shi'ar Empire]
Chandilar [Capital Planet] (I made a mistake in the previous chapter as Shi'ar is an Inter-Galactic Empire instead of a capital city they have a capital planet.)
(I don't know much about Shi'ar but I tried to show.)
The whole planet was bustling with people most of the population was the Imperial Guard the personal army of the Majestor/ Emperor D'ken, the nobles, and the royalty who were in prison as D'ken didn't want any obstacles in his quest for power. There were civilians too but they lived in the corner of the planet.
The capital was more active than usual they were getting ready for the arrival of their Emperor's return from a backward planet that was not even worth conquering the military commanders thought. Most of the Shi'ar empire's population hated D'ken but most of the military and nobles liked him because they could do whatever they wanted until they crossed D'ken.
Military because they get to fight and conquer other planets people think that they have to obey whatever their official says which is true but the Shi'ar empire's soldiers are bloodthirsty individuals and they were able to participate in wars which most of the time was one-sided slaughter similar to what was about to happen.
Suddenly in front of Lilandra grand admiral of and commander of the Imperial Fleet who was also the sister of D'ken, a small portal appeared and a thing was thrown everyone got in a defensive stance but Lilandra caught it reflexively and immediately was about through it but immediately recognized what the item was.
It was the head of D'ken the Emperor they were about to welcome.
Although Lilandra hated her brother not to the point she wanted to kill him and looking at his expression he was tortured before his head was severed (she thought).
But there was no time to get sad, as the soldiers who went with D'ken to Planet C-53 to collect his desired specimen appeared from different portals in the sky and started attacking everyone on sight like madmen.
Lilandra frowned but they didn't have time to think as a fight broke out.
She ordered the soldiers to kill anyone who didn't surrender and capture someone to find out what happened and bring the best telepath they had. As the rebel soldiers were less than a thousand they were quickly defeated but before the guards could celebrate the dead soldier's body started bursting into black mist which corroded everything including the living within a hundred meters but it didn't stop there.
Black skeletons started appearing from the mists each soldier's body produced at least hundreds of them and then.
Hell broke loose on Chandilar.
