X-Men, Les étranges #14

In "Le palais des sortilèges !", the X-Men are forced by the villain Horde to infiltrate the enigmatic Citadelle de l'Ombre et la Lumière, where they must retrieve the crystal of clairvoyance to fuel his plan to become a god. As they navigate the fortress, each faces their deepest desires, but Serval stands apart—his resolve tested when he confronts Horde in the crystal chamber. A single drop of his blood ignites a transformation that could grant him omnipotence, but whether he will embrace it or destroy the power remains uncertain.

In a surreal clash across dimensions, the X-Men find themselves tested by the cold logic of L'Examinateur-Chef and his sentient machine, caught in a war far beyond Earth. When Malicia ventures into the Examiner’s energy network, she draws power from echoes of past foes—her own history colliding with the strange, shifting battlefield.
