Chapter 70 - Hammering Magneto

Seeing that the Sentinel Robots' firepower was completely unable to inflict even the slightest damage on Shen Mu, Magneto furiously tore them apart.

"No way! You can't possibly think these toys can threaten me, can you?!"

"Does the mighty Magneto only have these tricks up his sleeve?"

Shen Mu teased him with a relaxed expression.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort was Magneto's reply to Shen Mu.

Immediately, Magneto spread his hands, his magnetic field expanding, and countless steel sand and rocks formed a rolling tornado that roared towards Shen Mu.

The furiously spinning steel sawblades within it were like a gigantic meat grinder, fiercely cutting into Shen Mu's body.

"That's more like it, now it's a little interesting; it's enough to scratch an itch for me!"

"But, you can put in more effort, push harder, I'm still fine!"

As he spoke, Shen Mu casually threw a punch, which, with the force of a mountain collapse and a sea tsunami, directly shattered the massive steel tornado.

The residual shockwave from his punch even blasted a huge gap in the Stadium behind Magneto, which symbolized the scene, and the White House further behind was directly split down the middle.

Seeing Shen Mu effortlessly dismantle his attack, with that "encouraging" look on his face, filled Magneto with burning rage, but also deep apprehension.

Aside from the Black King and Apocalypse whom he had encountered earlier, he had never been subjected to such disdain.

He was the mighty Magneto, one of the most dangerous Mutants.

After taking a deep breath, Magneto suppressed his anger, forcing himself to calm down, his eyes flickering erratically.

The World that appeared in his eyes now was vastly different; ubiquitous magnetic fields enveloped everything.

Then, Magneto raised one hand, and the surrounding magnetic fields began to twist; matter affected by the magnetic field started to move at super-high speeds under his control.

When this movement reached a critical point, they transformed into indestructible beams of destructive light.

The next second, streaks of crimson flowing light shot out from his hand.

Wherever those flowing lights passed, all obstacles were utterly destroyed at the molecular level.

Shen Mu showed some interest upon seeing Magneto's new technique.

It seemed he had developed new applications for his abilities.

However, Shen Mu didn't pay much attention to it; instead, he reached out and grabbed those crimson flowing lights in his hand.

After passing through the biological field Shen Mu had attached to his body, most of the flowing lights were neutralized, and the remaining power caused no harm to Shen Mu whatsoever!

But this also allowed Shen Mu to see the change in Magneto.

One must know that, in his understanding, Magneto had no other impressive operations besides using magnetism to control metal!

This was also a major reason why Magneto was called a showman.

Because every time he appeared, he caused a huge commotion; the first time, he controlled hundreds of missiles and forcibly pulled a nuclear submarine out from under the Water.

The second time, he manipulated a gigantic Stadium to parade through the sky.

The third time occurred on the altered timeline, where his elderly self directly ripped up the Golden Gate Bridge.

Every time he made a high-profile appearance, he used his abilities to do the most primitive things: overpower others with brute force.

Of course, this was remarkably effective for clearing out cannon fodder and some less top-tier opponents.

However, against an existence like Shen Mu, who had maximized speed, strength, and defense, it was truly not enough!

Therefore, Shen Mu had never thought highly of Magneto; rather than Magneto, he was more like Iron King.

Yet, the Magneto now standing before Shen Mu had actually begun to master his true power!

Then, when Shen Mu's gaze inadvertently swept over the sexy purple-clad woman who was being controlled by Professor X to rescue people everywhere.

Immediately, Shen Mu guessed what had happened to Magneto.

"Where is Apocalypse?"

Shen Mu directly asked Magneto.

Besides Apocalypse, who could guide Mutants to unleash their inherent powers, Shen Mu could think of no one else who could cause such a change in Magneto.

Hearing this, Magneto was visibly startled, his eyes narrowing slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Are you the fellow who even made My Lord feel threatened?"

Magneto suddenly recalled what Apocalypse had told him when he left.

Combining that with Shen Mu's unbelievably terrifying strength, he instantly guessed Shen Mu's identity.

The fellow who could make even that "God" feel dangerous.

"Are you mistaken about something? I asked you to answer my question, not to question me back."

Shen Mu's telekinesis transformed into a colossal hand that pressed down fiercely on Magneto.

However, through his magnetic field perception, Magneto detected a massive pressure assaulting him.

So he hastily created a powerful magnetic field within a one-meter radius around himself to protect himself.

While telekinesis is formless, a magnetic field is also formless.

Therefore, Magneto's force field barely managed to withstand Shen Mu's colossal telekinetic hand.

However, the next moment, Shen Mu's figure appeared instantly before Magneto like a ghost.

One hand extended, and his steel body made intimate contact with the magnetic field.

A huge sense of obstruction emerged, but Shen Mu did not stop in the slightest, his hand forming a claw as he reached straight for Magneto's neck.

As he clashed with the magnetic field released by Magneto, brilliant electric light appeared around Shen Mu's arm, and his entire arm slowly began to turn red, like a glowing hot piece of iron.

Controlling magnetic fields, Magneto could do many things, such as energy conversion.

Although he might not understand the principles, instinct would tell him what to do; this was the heaven-defying aspect of Mutants.

However, this trick failed to stop Shen Mu.

His arm slowly transformed into a pitch-Black Dragon claw, and the divine power within his body surged, instantly disrupting the magnetic field Magneto had laid out.

Then, he grabbed Magneto by the neck.

"Now, you should be able to tell me where Apocalypse went, right!"

Fortunately, Magneto had also set up a magnetic field defense around himself at the last moment, otherwise, Shen Mu's high-temperature claw would have branded his neck with a claw-shaped mark!

However, at this moment, Magneto recognized Shen Mu's identity through this claw: the giant Dragon that had made him suffer a setback before.

He hadn't expected Shen Mu to be able to transform into a human form.

Feeling his life threatened, Magneto gave up resisting and slowly raised his hands in surrender.

"Apocalypse, he went to find his next Horseman!"

"As for the identity of the Horseman, I don't know either. If you don't believe me, you can ask Psylocke over there; she was the first Horseman Apocalypse found."

"But if you want to find him, you can have Charles use his still-sharp mind; with his restored abilities, he can easily find anyone with the help of Cerebro."

Magneto very straightforwardly divulged everything he knew.

He wasn't loyal to Apocalypse; in his view, it was more like a collaboration, except Apocalypse had paid the down payment in advance.

Now, facing a life-or-death threat, revealing what he knew couldn't be considered a betrayal.
