Holy crap!
Although Magneto knew Peter was saying this just to mess with his head, when he heard those words, he still couldn't help but turn his head and cast a resentful glance at Storm.
That look seemed to say:
"There is a traitor among us!"
Roar!!!
At the exact moment he cast that glance, the Lightning Kirin in the clouds completely lost its patience.
It let out an earth-shaking roar!
Right after, its massive body of lightning dived down from the dark clouds, charging straight toward Magneto, who had already lost the ability to think!
The moment that giant claw made of thunder stepped onto Magneto,
heaven and earth changed color.
The magnetic barrier Magneto was so proud of, the metal Storm surrounding him, and even his helmet that could block telepathy, were as fragile as window paper before this lightning punishment, which represented the most violent power of nature.
Boom!!!
The delayed, thunderous boom made the very earth tremble.
The children at the academy couldn't help but cover their ears and close their eyes.
Only when the blinding light, which even eyelids couldn't block, completely dissipated did everyone dare to carefully open their eyes to a tiny slit.
"OMG~!"
Jubilee couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
Centered on the Kirin's landing point, a visible shockwave swept in all directions.
Countless towering trees that had just been grown were uprooted and turned into dust.
The solid earth was plowed open into a massive, charred crater dozens of meters deep and over a thousand meters in diameter.
Terrifying electrical arcs were still raging inside the crater even now, scorching all the soil at the bottom into a glass-like state.
In the center of the crater, only a human-shaped piece of charcoal remained, lying there with black smoke rising from his body, with only a final, faint breath left in him.
Seeing this, Professor X's legs went weak, and he almost fell to his knees.
"Eric!!!"
He let out a sorrowful cry, then rushed recklessly toward the crater, wanting to check on his dear friend who held such different beliefs.
Seeing this scene, Peter's eye twitched involuntarily, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart:
They really are torturing each other all the way to a battle.
"Don't worry, I deliberately left him with a breath. He won't die."
Considering that the Professor had been providing him with great food and drinks over the past few days, Peter ultimately chose not to keep him on edge.
He didn't plan on killing Magneto in the first place.
As a transmigrator who had read the original work, although he couldn't say he liked the character of Magneto, he definitely didn't hate him either.
In the end, it was all just for survival.
If Peter himself were a Mutant, facing human discrimination, persecution, and hunts every day, he would only act even more decisively than Magneto.
After comforting the Professor, Peter tilted his head and turned his gaze to the top of the massive pyramid.
Sitting there was the final boss of this incident—Apocalypse, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines since the battle began.
Noticing Peter's gaze shifting over, a trace of emotion finally appeared on Apocalypse's eternally unchanging blue face.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Peter cut him off first:
"Oi~ old Bastard, have you washed your neck?"
"Next, it's your turn."
Old Bastard.
This modern-sounding, slightly frivolous and insulting title caused a visible ripple in Apocalypse's eyes, which were usually as deep as the Universe, for the very first time.
He, En Sabah Nur, the first Mutant in human history, an existence revered as a god by countless believers.
Since the day he was born in Ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, no human had ever dared to speak to him in such a tone.
And so, Apocalypse spoke:
"Human... your power doesn't seem to belong to this World."
"Oh?" Peter couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, not expecting this old fossil of Apocalypse to actually figure something out.
"Not bad eyes, old man. You actually saw through that?"
"Then why don't you guess what I'm here for?"
Apocalypse fell silent.
His calm, ripple-less eyes stared intently at Peter, as if trying to see right through him from the inside out.
He tried to analyze Peter's bodily structure and the source of his power, but the result was always a patch of chaos.
Peter's body seemed to be equipped with some sort of high-level shielding device; no matter how hard he tried, he could never read anything useful.
"It seems you can't guess it."
Peter shrugged, the smile on his face gradually fading, replaced by a look like he was viewing "experimental material."
"It's fine, I don't mind telling you."
"I came here for you."
"For me?" A hint of confusion crept into Apocalypse's voice.
"That's right." Peter snapped his fingers, then pointed to Professor X on the ground and said:
"I promised the young geezer over there that if I can't take you down within ten moves, it's my loss~"
Of course, besides that, there was another reason Peter hadn't told Professor X.
That was—he had also set his sights on Apocalypse's ability to modify Mutants.
Apocalypse's ability was something akin to unlocking genetic potential + living bio-modification.
He could amplify and perfect the gene chains of Mutant DNA, producing an effect similar to evolution.
Listen to that, doesn't it sound familiar?
When Peter went to deal with Ego back then, wasn't it also for this kind of ability!
Now that he had run into Apocalypse, how could he miss the chance to fleece him?
Therefore, at this moment, Peter's Omnitrix had already been running in secret, stealthily copying Apocalypse's genes from a long time ago.
On the other side, Apocalypse couldn't help but daze upon hearing this.
After a moment of stun, he smiled, a very cold smile:
"Very well. In thousands of years, you are the first one who dares to speak to me like this!"
"Seeing that you have some ability, I originally thought about making an exception to promote you to be the leader of my Horsemen."
"But now it seems you don't have that good fortune!"
"Want to take me down in ten moves? I'd like to see just how many moves of mine you can take!"
As he spoke, an unprecedented, majestic energy violently erupted from his body!
Boom!!!
Wherever the terrifying energy wave passed, the Deep Forest Emergence that Peter had previously created was instantly destroyed.
Yellow sand once again raged across the battlefield.
But when that shockwave hit Peter, it didn't cause him the slightest bit of damage.
Peter stood in place as if nothing had happened, his face even wearing an unsatisfied expression:
"No way, old geezer, is this all you've got?"
Seeing that this human actually dared to "humiliate" him, anger flashed in Apocalypse's eyes.
"You... deserve to die!!!"
He opened his arms, and the entire pyramid he had personally created, along with all matter within a radius of several kilometers—sand, rocks, metal debris—began to rapidly decompose and reorganize under his will!
In the blink of an eye, a giant stone golem over a hundred meters tall, haphazardly pieced together from various materials, rose from the ground!
Apocalypse himself stood on top of the stone giant's head, like a god piloting an apocalyptic mecha.
"Witness... the wrath of a god!"
As he spoke, the massive stone giant raised a fist comparable to a mountain peak and smashed it down fiercely toward Peter in mid-air, with a whistling sound loud enough to tear the atmosphere!
