X-MEN- CH-73. He is right Raven

"I know." Raven hugged the little girl tightly, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "It's just that I have to separate from the little one." It was clear that Raven really liked Camilla.

Martin couldn't do anything about this. He had thought about using the power of the Phoenix to create a child, but he wasn't sure if it could be done. First of all, the Phoenix Force couldn't change reality like the Chaos Force. Besides, a child born this way would still be a child in the human sense.

As an ordinary person, Martin couldn't escape the thoughts of ordinary people. Children are the continuation of life, the fruit of love, and the future of a family. But when it's not a natural birth, it feels different. It feels like a product of creation.

Also, Raven and the others might not be able to accept it. At least, it was hard for Martin to accept.

"By the way, dear, will they encounter any danger when they go back with the Nova Corps?" Raven asked, suddenly thinking of something.

"I don't know, but in the minds of those two, Camilla and the others shouldn't be harmed." Martin said, looking at Marilyn to gauge her thoughts.

Marilyn seemed to just realize the problem. Up until now, she had been focused only on getting out of this den of wolves as soon as possible. Her husband was technically a deserter, and no matter the reason, no legion would be lenient towards deserters. As the family members of a deserter, even if they claimed there would be no trouble, who could really know? They certainly wouldn't be treated well.

Raven glanced at Martin and asked Marilyn, "Are you going to leave with them?"

"Raven..." Martin looked at her in slight surprise.

What else could they do if they didn't leave? Would they follow Martin and the others? Putting aside Martin's thoughts about privacy, they could follow the two of them while traveling in the universe. But eventually, Martin and Raven would return to Earth. What would Marilyn and Camilla do then? They couldn't take them home with them.

Martin didn't like outsiders staying in his life for too long. If the mother and daughter were left behind, it would only become more difficult to separate them, as they would have grown attached. Camilla was very cute, and Martin liked her too, but she wasn't his own child. Even if she were an adopted child, it would be different. But Camilla already had a mother and a family.

"I'm sorry, Martin's right. You have your own lives to live." Marilyn said quickly, seeming to understand what Martin meant, "It's okay. The Nova Corps is decent enough. They won't make things difficult for us."

"Yeah..." Raven looked down at Camilla and nodded, albeit reluctantly.

"Okay, you should rest here today. It'll take time for the Nova Corps to arrive." Martin said, bringing an end to the discussion.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Martin left the room and headed to the battleship's control room, where two members of the Nova Corps were sitting and chatting. Upon seeing Martin enter, they stood up and looked at him.

"Have you made contact?"

"Yes, they'll be here in a few hours."

"Good. You're welcome to do as you like. I'll be inspecting the battleship."

"Okay... Uh, with all due respect, this battleship requires a lot of manpower to operate, and you seem—"

"I know, which is why I need to study it in detail." Martin interrupted, opening the control panel and checking it based on Fate's memories.

"Xandar has a very advanced control system. When our boss arrives, we can ask him to help you update it."

"No, I have my own way."

This battleship was his personal property, and who knew if the Xandarians would leave something behind. Martin had his own methods, and Yuriko's system control abilities were especially useful at this time. Martin had copied this ability but rarely used it.

Although the different sections of the battleship were controlled separately, they were all part of one unit, with data and information connected throughout. Apocalypse had the ability to transmit consciousness through data, which he used when he first emerged to learn about the world. Martin kept this data flow awareness in the system and worked through the connections step by step. Whenever he encountered problems, he would transform the relevant nodes, utilizing his various abilities to make the necessary changes easily.

The progress was quick, but the battleship was large, with many areas that needed inspection. It took Martin more than half an hour to connect all parts of the ship. Finally, using the battleship's original operating system and his own data flow awareness, he upgraded Yuriko's system operation capabilities, creating an intelligent assistant that could carry out instructions but had no independent consciousness. Since it was based on Martin's consciousness, his family members would have corresponding operating permissions.

He also modified the battleship's information. Originally, its code name had been a long string of letters and numbers, but now it was called "Phoenix No. 1" and belonged to the private "Horn Team." A team logo was also added to the exterior of the ship.

"Report the status of the battleship." Martin ordered.

In response to his command, various parts of the battleship began operational tests. Half a minute later, an electronic voice from the control system said, "The battleship's power system is intact. Power energy at 98%. Backup energy is sufficient. All attack systems are fully operational, with adequate energy and ammunition for the ship's guns. The defense system is intact. Communication system operational..."

Fate and his men hadn't lied; they had come here to resupply, and everything was in perfect condition for Martin now. All parts of the battleship were intact, and any issues had already been fixed during his inspection. While Martin wasn't an expert, he had enough knowledge to repair things as needed. In the future, as long as he gathered enough resources, he could replicate this battleship if needed.

Maybe, as a joke, he thought, he could work as a maintenance worker in the ordinary world someday.

After giving the system the command to have the battleship's maintenance area start transforming and servicing the two spacecraft it carried, he also integrated their control systems into the battleship's.

Satisfied, Martin left the operating system. He turned around to see the two Nova Corps officers staring at him in shock. No matter how advanced their technology was, they had never seen anything like Martin upgrading the battleship's control system in real-time. Even the Nova Corps needed to connect to their supreme computer for such remote upgrades.
