Chapter 13 - Is a Leader Only Good at Hiding?

As the saying goes, there are only wrong nicknames, never wrong titles.

Other people's nicknames are things like Mystique, Storm, Cyclops, and Wolverine.

But Eric is called Magneto! The very word "King" reveals his personality and strength.

The pressure brought by this powerful mutant is astonishing; ordinary people simply cannot imagine such power.

Facing Magneto, who was floating in mid-air, several members of the X-Men were feeling a little suffocated.

This feeling really wasn't pleasant.

Only two people present felt nothing.

One was a powerful telepath, also an Omega-Level mutant, Professor Charles.

Another person was Xu Fu.

With Superman's Physique, Xu Fu had more potential than anyone else present.

He didn't have much awe for power, and with his own impressive strength, he naturally wasn't afraid of Magneto.

The most powerful aspect of Superman's Physique wasn't its freakish strength or various abilities, but its incredible defense.

Aside from Kryptonite, there wasn't much that could pierce Superman's skin.

And in the Marvel world, there was no Kryptonite. In other words, he was now invincible.

Magneto might be able to trap him.

Want to kill him?

Impossible.

Then what did Xu Fu have to fear? Not letting him fish was asking for trouble!

"Heh."

"I'll give you some advice too. Apologize to me now, and I might forgive you."

Xu Fu sneered, speaking.

He was a very reasonable person, and never did anything without warning.

Seeing his confidence, Magneto shook his head.

"Young people really haven't seen the world."

"You'll see soon enough just how naive you are."

"Only after I give you a lesson will you understand the true nature of this world. Perhaps then you'll change your mind."

Xu Fu sneered.

If it were the Magneto enhanced by Apocalypse, the one who could manipulate the Earth's magnetic field, he would have turned and fled.

This Magneto, in his normal state, hadn't even fully grasped his basic abilities.

What was there to fear?

With a single hand, he grabbed the Spear that Magneto had fired.

Xu Fu shot forward in a single step.

Clang! The steel Spear instantly broke the sound barrier.

With astonishing power and incredible speed, the Spear even left a trail in the air, like a fighter jet's contrail.

In less than a breath, the Spear was near Magneto.

Then, the metal Spear seemed to pierce into a lump of mud, and its incredible speed began to slow.

The closer it got to Magneto, the slower the Spear became.

Finally, the Spear seemed to have exhausted its power, stopping about a few centimeters in front of Magneto.

Even so, Magneto was drenched in a cold sweat.

He had seen his share of battles.

But to be able to launch metal objects with pure force over this distance, this was a first! This power was terrifying! If it were his younger self, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand this terrifying power, and would be torn apart instantly by this terrifying Spear.

What ability has this kid awakened, anyway?

Magneto quickly realized that now wasn't the time to think about this. As long as he captured Xu Fu, he would naturally know everything.

With a wave of his hand.

The metal objects floating behind him, like raindrops, shot toward Xu Fu like a torrential downpour.

Swish, swish, swish! The air was filled with the sound of various objects piercing through it.

Xu Fu didn't even look, and charged straight forward.

The speed of these metals wasn't as fast as it seemed, and the kinetic energy contained within them probably couldn't even compare to a bullet.

Barrett? He's not afraid of any of this? As expected.

The metal spikes, like a torrential downpour, slammed into him, instantly losing their momentum and deforming, falling to the ground.

Apart from his upper body clothing being tattered, there wasn't a single mark on his skin.

His robust skin, like it was cast in steel, didn't even show a hint of redness.

This is the terrifying aspect of Superman's Physique: extremely high resistance; ordinary kinetic attacks can't break through his defenses.

Other than Kryptonite and Doomsday, Superman had never been injured by anything he'd encountered.

Superman is called a god among men, and there's a reason for that.

Such a powerful body, combined with his extreme speed, even made Magneto's expression change.

"What ability did you awaken?!"

Magneto waved his hands, and a large amount of metal slammed into Xu Fu's body, but it could only temporarily hinder his movements.

Xu Fu didn't even get a scratch.

Instead, the ground was covered in deformed metal, even twisted into pretzels by Xu Fu.

The X-Men standing nearby were already stunned.

Scott, the leader of the X-Men, even wanted to take off his glasses for a good look.

This kid Xu Fu was too ferocious.

He had seen it in the news before, when the Hulk rampaged through a military base, and it must have looked something like this.

Magneto manipulated metal, and its power was no weaker than that of a cannonball, yet it couldn't cause any harm to Xu Fu.

What was Xu Fu's body made of?

Even Colossus wasn't this tough, right?

"Ororo, is this what you meant by a little talent?"

Scott looked at Ororo.

Even Jean looked at Ororo, hoping she could explain.

Ororo herself was dumbfounded.

She had only preliminarily tested Xu Fu's strength and speed, but she hadn't expected his resistance to attacks to be so astonishing! Wasn't this without any weaknesses? Among everyone present, perhaps only Professor Charles had some foresight.

Just seeing Xu Fu's performance surprised him, although years of experience prevented him from showing it.

The X-Men brought Professor Charles to the side to watch the show.

Over there, Xu Fu and Magneto's battle was incredibly intense.

Xu Fu's stamina was inexhaustible, like a perpetual motion machine.

Although Magneto relied on constantly using metal attacks to interrupt Xu Fu's movements, it was only a stopgap measure.

The distance between the two of them was slowly closing! Magneto could imagine that if he let Xu Fu get close to him, with his old body, he would probably be killed directly in less than a second.

He couldn't let this guy get close! Magneto steeled his heart.

The silver-white metal plate under his feet moved quickly, pulling away from Xu Fu.

Xu Fu saw that the situation was not good and quickly thought of a plan.

The Joker's abilities might not be great for research, but they were absolutely top-notch for scheming against people.

Based on his understanding of Magneto, Xu Fu immediately taunted him.

"The leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, the mighty Magneto, is only good at hiding?"

As Xu Fu spoke, the few mutants behind Magneto looked at him.

Magneto was now in a difficult position.
