The disparity in their statuses was immense. This also destined their interactions to be different once they grew up. One experienced the bitter suffering of the human world at 12, and after growing up, his family was torn apart. He had long been completely disillusioned with society, and injustice and discrimination had oppressed him for most of his life. The other was wealthy and unwilling to disrupt the existing order, preferring to always act as a bridge between Mutants and humans. This was the source of their perennial conflict! It was innate and irreconcilable!
And now, the already aged Magneto watched a new star of the Mutants rise, successfully ascending to the top with unstoppable momentum. He did it. He achieved everything he had dreamed of. But... he also hated! Why wasn't that person him?
At this moment, Magneto, clad in a black combat robe and wearing an iron helmet, looked at the formation descending upon the island before him.
Buzz!!
Amidst ripples of space, Alex led Emma and several other Mutants as they traversed space.
"It's him!!"
"Oh my God, it's the Number One Mutant."
"He actually came in person."
Under the watchful eyes of all, a multitude of Mutants immediately surged from all parts of the island. Everyone was very curious about Alex, the Number One Mutant who looked down on all things in the world and defeated numerous superheroes. After all, he was the savior of the entire Mutant race!
"So, you've come to kill me yourself?" Magneto said indifferently.
He looked at the young man in the black hoodie before him, who was tall and slender, with a handsome face, and an indifferent and ruthless expression that exuded an unapproachable aura. When not with close acquaintances, Alex remained the same: cold and aloof, with eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation, making people feel incredibly chilled.
This was a ruthless man! Upon their first meeting, Magneto Erik seemed to see a reflection of his past self. Recalling the other party's complete descent into darkness, he suddenly laughed. His laughter became somewhat uncontrolled.
"Heaven is truly unfair to me."
"Why were you able to fully awaken and rampage in a laboratory, while in my childhood in the concentration camp, I didn't possess enough power to break all shackles?"
Hatred! He hated! If, during that dark period of his childhood, he had possessed enough power, successfully awakened and unearthed even greater strength, instead of the weak control over magnetism he had back then, then perhaps he could have rewritten history.
"If I had possessed sufficiently powerful strength in my childhood, then I would have definitely saved my mother!"
Magneto gritted his teeth, his expression filled with intense hatred. He recalled those hateful individuals who, in order to force him to awaken his powers, publicly murdered his mother to stimulate his abilities. Damn beasts!!
At that moment, he had already turned dark, fallen into the abyss, and swore to completely overturn everything in the world. But his strength was too weak at that time. So much so that he was constantly exploited like a stray dog. Hatred!! It was truly too much hatred.
Therefore, seeing Alex, who was so young and able to emerge from the laboratory to completely crush all injustices, Magneto's heart became unbalanced.
"Old man, I'm not here to listen to your ramblings," Alex said coldly. "Surrender or death!"
He directly issued an ultimatum. Alex would not concern himself with how many grievances the other party carried, nor did he care about the other party's past history. He was no longer the desperate thirteen-year-old boy he once was; his state of mind, having completely fallen into the abyss and turned dark, would no longer feel empathy, pity, or sympathy for an outsider.
"Hahaha." Looking at the other party's extremely cold face, Magneto, for some reason, continued to laugh loudly. He was truly too satisfied. It was this ruthlessness, this contempt for all things, this domineering aura of being the sole sovereign, that could lead the Mutants forward. And not like him, whose mindset gradually aged, just shrinking on an island, waiting for the judgment of fate.
However... he would not surrender. Surrender! He couldn't do it!
"Very good." Magneto reined in his smile. At this moment, a surging magnetic field fluctuation erupted within him, and a vast aura continuously rose from his body. It had been a long time since he had fought a hearty battle.
In the last moments of his life, he only wanted to face the Number One Mutant before him as a true man, with the pride befitting Magneto.
"Come and fight me!"
"Either you die or I live. If you die, it proves you don't have the strength to continue leading the Mutants, so your death is not to be regretted."
"Of course..."
"If I die, all members of the Brotherhood of Mutants will completely submit to you. You will be their monarch!"
Magneto's aura rose even higher.
Just now, he was like an old man in his twilight years, rambling and regretting his past years. But now, the signs of aging on his face gradually disappeared, and his whole person exuded a vigorous energy. At this moment, Magneto seemed to have returned to his peak period of strength.
"If I die..."
"Promise me, young man, you must promise me, do not retreat, do not be merciful. You must completely conquer the world, or even completely destroy it. Only then will they not make a comeback!"
"The path you are on has no retreat, the hidden dangers on Earth are beyond your imagination."
"Hmph!"
"This is guidance from an old man to a young man!"
With that said, Magneto's whole body vibrated more intensely, and the rampant, surging magnetic force seemed to distort the surrounding light, forming a terrifying might. He roared, and the terrifying magnetic force transformed into a frightening field that violently slammed towards the figure before him.
"This..." The arriving personnel were slightly startled.
However, the figure standing before them was Alex. Facing such a vast display of power, the indifferent Alex did not even frown. He simply waved his hand, and a massive telekinesis fluctuation instantly shattered the field before him.
Hoo!!
Magneto roared, and the surrounding magnetic field fluctuations surged even more. Iron water pipes buried underground directly emerged from the mud, instantly molding into sharp spikes, like spiritual snakes, stabbing towards Alex's figure.
"It seems you really are old," Alex said coldly.
