"Truly astonishing power, Dawn Knight. Your strength surpasses all mortals; even among our kind, you are undoubtedly among the elite. Why do you choose these primitive and ignorant beings, instead of joining me in creating a future for the New Humans?"
Magneto shook his head and sighed, genuinely admiring the Dawn Knight's displayed power. It was precisely because of this that he felt such regret at his choices. If someone like him stood by his side, his cause would experience a massive leap forward. Yet, he was on the opposing side.
In response to Magneto's question, Zhou Yi scoffed.
"I protect humanity because I get everything I need from them. What can you offer me?"
"What do you want? Money?" Magneto waved his hand, and countless metal particles stirred and moved throughout the city. They gathered before Zhou Yi, rapidly reassembling. In mere breaths, they formed a thick layer of gold bricks in front of him, all of them pure gold of perfect quality.
"If you wish, I can provide you with any amount of gold. Money is utterly meaningless in our eyes."
At this point, Magneto shook his head.
"I believe someone like you wouldn't stoop to such superficial things. So, what do you seek: power or glory? If it's power, I can give it to you. Stand by my side, and you'll be the leader of the Mutants, second only to me, even if you're not a Mutant. Young man, I'm over seventy. My body is failing, and perhaps in a few years, my entire cause will fall into your hands. At that time, the power you'll wield will make the world tremble. Isn't that enough?"
"Power holds no appeal for someone like me, who doesn't even show their face. Besides, if I were to run for office, I reckon I'd be the next president. Which do you think I'd choose if I really wanted to?"
"Then the last option, glory!" Magneto composed himself, his face as rigid as a stone carving. "This is also my final chance for you, Dawn Knight. Stand by me, and you'll become the architect of the future world. Your name will be etched on the pillars of history, revered and worshipped by all New Humans in the future. Isn't that more meaningful and valuable than flying around all day, doing the work of police officers and firefighters?"
"Architect of the future? Erik, what's the cost? Tell me the cost of building the future?" Correcting his broken arm, Zhou Yi kicked away the debris beneath his feet and strode forward. He stood directly beneath Magneto, looking up and demanding,
Magneto stared at the black knight below. His pride wouldn't allow him to deceive the questioner with lies, because that would be deceiving himself. So, he simply pursed his lips and uttered the coldest words:
"The cost is all of this, everything before your eyes. Dawn Knight, the entire world, all of humanity, is the cost of creating a new world. This is the price they must pay for their actions, and it's the price humanity must pay to reach the future. There is no other choice, for you or for me. So, you already know everything you need to know. Tell me your answer."
"The answer is simple, isn't it?" The black knight slowly ascended until he stood before Magneto. "My loved ones, my friends, are among the humans, and they will become part of your cost. What I desire to see is a world under the sun where all things are one. Humans and Mutants, and even all other creatures, can live in peace as one community, but you insist on dragging them into the vortex of war. Magneto, Erik Lehnsherr. This is where we differ, and my answer is here!"
"Arrogant, foolish! Useless, empty idealism. Your ideas will forever be castles in the air, never becoming reality." The rage on Magneto's previously calm face erupted. He roared in a low voice, his words filled with hatred. "I've seen clearly how humans have treated me and my people over the decades. The hatred between us can never be washed away. Only an outsider like you would harbor such ignorant and laughable thoughts. I was also out of my mind to have any hope for a fool like you."
Speaking of which, he barely suppressed the boiling rage in his heart, looking at Zhou Yi with a look of pity.
"It's time to end everything. You and this damn city should be completely erased. Since you worship the sun so much, let the flames from the sun purify you. Round two, begin!"
Above the Eiffel Tower, the invisible magnetic field supported Magneto Erik's body, who was now holding his hands high. It was as if he were holding something vast and magnificent. And with his movements, a deep power swept across the surface and quickly sank deep into the earth.
A slightly itchy sensation came from everyone's skin; it was the feeling of being brushed by an electric magnetic field. Ordinary people might only have this small sensation, while for Zhou Yi, who had extremely strong perception, what he felt was even more powerful.
A deep enough magnetic field power penetrated into the earth, stirring up a greater power at the heart of the earth. When this power trembled and awoke, even Zhou Yi began to marvel at its might. It was the great power from the earth itself, the earth's own geomagnetic force. At this moment, Magneto was using his own power to awaken the great power of the geomagnetic field and using them to achieve his purpose.
Under his control, the geomagnetic field began to show some disorder, which might not have a big impact on the earth's land itself. But for the geomagnetic field surrounding the planet Earth itself, which played a protective role, it had an incalculable effect.
Magneto was struggling to control his power. Even for him, controlling such a huge magnetic field was a complex and difficult project. This was one of his trump cards. He didn't want to use this method to end the Dawn Knight, but after the final persuasion failed, he resolutely decided to reveal this trump card.
This was his rebuttal to the Dawn Knight's ridiculous idea, and it was also his declaration of war on the human world. When he succeeded, he would use Rogue's hand to spread the mutant magnetic storm to every corner of the world. Humanity would usher in the era of mutants. Then, this day would become the day of the revolution that would be forever commemorated.
With this grand ideal for Mutants, he infused his will into the deeper layers of Earth's magnetic field. At this moment, Earth's magnetic field resonated harmoniously with him. Every movement of his drove the operation of the magnetic field, causing it to subtly shift with his actions.
And when he raised his hands, making a separating gesture towards the sky, the most terrifying thing happened. The sky began to darken, as if a massive gate stood above the heavens. And now, this gate was truly opened by him, its other side connected to an endless hell.
Brilliant light surged from the dark sky. The clouds, the atmosphere, even the azure of the sky, were gradually sucked into the endless darkness by that brilliant light. Through the endless darkness, people could even see the vast, boundless space.
When those scattered lights, like a long river, flowed through the dark gate into the vast space, fiery golden light came surging down from the sky. Under the overwhelming golden light, the river was instantly dyed gold, and in this gold, everything turned to ashes.
It was the terrifying scene of the Solar Storm entering Earth's Geomagnetic Rift, burning everything. And this was everything that Magneto had done.
In this universe, most of space is darkness, and the few areas of light mainly come from the light of stars. Stars constantly emit light and heat, and all the planets around them bathe in their brilliance. Just like the sun and the planets around it.
However, not everyone can withstand the sun's brilliance. Like Mercury, which is closest to the sun, its surface can completely melt metal. Even for Earth, which is at a moderate distance, the sun's brilliance is too intense. The Solar Storm it blows towards Earth is enough to incinerate everything on the surface of the Earth. The reason why Earth's surface can nurture oceans and even life is entirely dependent on the protection of Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic field is like a giant shield, blocking the Solar Storm outside. And now, this shield has a huge hole.
Magneto gradually diminished the outer magnetic field. The vacuum outside suppressed Earth's gravity, attracting everything under this hole into the space environment, whether it was the atmosphere or the clouds, or the scattered light. Everything was sucked away, and when these fillers flew into space, the sun's gale had already surged in through this hole. It was the hurricane of the sun, capable of incinerating all things.
"Are you insane, Erik?" Zhou Yi yelled incredulously, watching everything unfold. This wasn't a contest anymore, it was genuine destruction.
"Consider me insane. I want to see how the Dawn Knight saves this situation. Witness the solar hurricane, and then turn to ashes within it." Magneto laughed, widening the hole in the magnetic field even further. The golden liquid in outer space had gathered and swept together into a terrifying beam of light.
The Earth now resembled a windshield being pierced, which might not be a big deal for the glass itself. However, the impact on anything near the hole would be far greater than that on the glass itself.
Because all the fluid was converging through this hole. And now, the solar wind was about to surge into the Earth through the magnetic fissure opened by Magneto. When it hit the ground, destruction would begin.
"Medusa, give me a solution!" He was completely helpless against this microscopic, physical optical storm. He could only turn to his intelligent computer for help, hoping to find a solution from it.
"Analysis commencing. According to calculations, the most rational approach is to evacuate this location and reshape the surrounding magnetic field with a magnetic field to cut off the source of the solar wind."
"I want a solution, not a way to survive. Do you understand?" Zhou Yi roared, and the fact that he was shouting at a computer showed how panicked he was.
"Yes, sir. According to calculations, there is only one way to solve this problem."
