Xu Fu's single sentence had Magneto checkmated.
Magneto held absolute authority within the Brotherhood of Mutants; his word was law.
The mutants of the Brotherhood gathered around Magneto because of his power and his imposing presence.
But what authority could a leader have after retreating repeatedly in battle?
Perhaps the other mutants wouldn't care, but Magneto himself couldn't ignore it.
Throughout his entire life, the only time he'd shown weakness was in front of the fully empowered Dark Phoenix. He'd never been afraid of other enemies.
With Xu Fu's words, he naturally couldn't retreat any further.
Even if the mutants behind him didn't say anything, Magneto wouldn't allow himself to retreat.
If he kept retreating under pressure from a young man like Xu Fu, how would he ever show his face among the mutants again?
People would bring it up, saying, "You were beaten by a minor."
He'd be better off finding some tofu and ending it all.
He was Magneto! He had his own pride! Magneto stopped, and with a wave of his hand, a large amount of metal around him began to deform.
This demonstrated the incredible abilities of mutants and the terrifying power of Magneto.
He was just one man, yet he controlled all the metal within half of the Mutant Academy.
Each piece of metal was like clay, manipulated and deformed by him at will, as though the metal's original properties had vanished.
He perfectly melded the massive metal pieces together, forming two giant metal pillars.
The pillar shot towards Xu Fu, binding him.
Xu Fu quickly dodged.
"Magneto, are you really not going to apologize? You really want to cause me trouble?"
Xu Fu's figure moved at high speed.
The metal in the air couldn't do anything to him.
"Heh."
"Young people never learn."
"This world is not as simple as you think."
Magneto became composed and reached out a hand.
With a lift of his hand, massive metal structures began to warp, pursuing Xu Fu in an attempt to bind him.
"In that case, you're in trouble."
Xu Fu snorted coldly.
He stopped dodging.
The surrounding enormous metal, like a tortilla, wrapped around him, leaving only his head exposed.
"What can you do now, young man?"
"I won't kill you. On the contrary, I admire your power."
"This is a unique and powerful gift you possess."
"However, to truly unlock the potential of this gift, you should join my Brotherhood of Mutants."
Magneto spoke with utmost sincerity.
His voice was incredibly persuasive, possessing a unique charm.
He was powerful, yet also had a distinct personal charisma.
This was Magneto, a warrior fighting for his people.
Now that he had the upper hand, Magneto began trying to persuade Xu Fu to join him.
Xu Fu snorted coldly.
"Too late!"
"Can you still resist?"
Magneto said with a smile.
Obtaining Xu Fu, this powerful child, was much more important than obtaining Rogue.
"I have many tricks up my sleeve."
Xu Fu grinned.
He just blew downwards.
A white aura suddenly spread out from there, and a large amount of white aura began to spread on the metal around him.
In an instant, frost covered the surrounding metal.
"What did you do?"
Magneto's expression hardened. He tried to manipulate the metal in front of him, but found that it was no longer as responsive as before, becoming difficult to control and sluggish.
It felt as if he were stuck in mud, extremely uncomfortable.
Xu Fu's expression was much more confident.
"What did I do?"
"Children who haven't gone to school wouldn't understand."
Xu Fu gave Magneto a look of pity.
Magneto's ability was actually incredibly overpowered, a power that could even be said to be something only a god could master.
His ability wasn't just the manipulation of metal; it was the manipulation of electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental forces! After being enhanced by Apocalypse, he could even manipulate any substance in the soil, which was the true nature of his power.
Unfortunately, Magneto hadn't mastered his ability.
Xu Fu was now using his weakness: extreme low temperature, which made the movement of electrons within molecules extremely weak.
Magneto at his peak might not be affected by this interference, but the current Magneto didn't have that ability! Under Xu Fu's extreme low temperature, the metal became difficult to control.
Creak!
Creak! A teeth-grinding sound echoed, and Magneto saw, in front of him, visible cracks appearing on the metal that was trapping Xu Fu! The low temperature made the metal very brittle.
The gold's hardness hadn't changed, but it was now easier to break free from.
Xu Fu's fingers moved at a high frequency, the powerful force striking the metal.
The metal, already brittle, couldn't withstand such a strong impact.
Bang! Xu Fu put all his strength into it.
The surrounding metal all exploded, like cannonballs, flying towards the surroundings.
"You."
Magneto was dumbfounded.
He didn't understand how Xu Fu had done it.
How could metal possibly be broken open by a human body?
Knowing that this was a metal sheet a meter thick, high-strength steel.
Let alone a human body, even if you had a tank firing armor-piercing rounds, it couldn't penetrate it! And Xu Fu just broke free like that?
What kind of humanoid beast was this! "How did you do that!"
"This isn't something that can be done with pure strength! You have other abilities!"
Magneto said in a low voice.
"You guessed right, but there's no reward."
"Now, what other tricks do you have?"
Xu Fu looked at Magneto with amusement.
"This is impossible! How can a mutant have two abilities?!"
"That's not right, you must have an ability to simulate others!"
Magneto looked at Xu Fu, a trace of shock in his eyes.
"Something like that."
Xu Fu didn't bother to explain.
He charged directly in front of Magneto.
This time, it was Charles who became nervous.
"Xu Fu, spare him!"
"Charles," Charles said.
Xu Fu saw that it was the head of the academy speaking. He glanced at Charles and walked directly to Magneto.
With a single hand, he took off his helmet.
"Don't worry, Professor, I'm not a madman."
"I think you won't let him off easy, right?"
Xu Fu asked, squinting.
"Of course."
Charles nodded.
The moment Xu Fu removed Magneto's helmet, Magneto was instantly subdued.
On the entire planet, no human could resist his Mind Control, not even Magneto.
Xu Fu saw how easily Charles had agreed, and then thought about the relationship between the two of them.
Something feels off, doesn't it?
Can't just let this old man off the hook.
Xu Fu thought to himself.
Because he had been disturbed and killed, that certainly wasn't enough to warrant such a response; that would be the act of a madman, an antisocial individual.
However, making Magneto uncomfortable was still an option.
Xu Fu flicked his hand, and a white injection device appeared in his grasp.
Magneto's expression instantly shifted.
Feilu Novel, Feiyao wants you to look good!
