Stryker Crashes the Party (Extra Chapter for Alliance Leader Ye Shang Kong Ming, 6/12)

Chapter 132: Stryker Crashes the Party (Extra Chapter for Alliance Leader Ye Shang Kong Ming, 612)

Under the clash of immense force, Zhan Liu’s right fist quickly twisted, deformed, and shattered. The splattered blood and bone fragments were then absorbed and annihilated by the black hole.

Zhan Liu let out a furious roar and pushed Magnetic Field Rotation to its limit, detonating his right arm. Using the force of the explosion, he bounced away and finally managed to escape.

"Now that’s satisfying!"

"Magnetic Field Rotation, Thirty-Five Heavens!"

"Ultimate Emperor Leg!"

As he urged his cells to grow and regrow his arm, Zhan Liu simultaneously drove his power forward. His extended leg came down like a mighty broadsword, chopping heavily toward Magneto.

"Magnetic Field Rotation, Seventy-Five Heavens!"

"Bipolar Fist: Uppercut!"

Their fist and leg collided. Zhan Liu’s right leg bent, spraying blood through the void once more, and he was sent flying several miles. Yet Zhan Liu began laughing loudly.

"Haha… Just as I thought, you can’t use a move like that casually!"

"In that case, go to hell, you goddamn bastard!"

"Ultimate Limit Palm!"

Zhan Liu went away quickly, but returned even faster. In the blink of an eye, he counterattacked, smashing down with another mighty palm.

"Bipolar Fist: Right Straight Punch!"

Magneto was unwilling to be outdone and immediately struck back with a powerful punch.

Even without using another ultimate move, Magneto’s power at Seventy-Five Heavens was still far beyond Zhan Liu’s. Moreover, as he fought Zhan Liu, he consciously observed the way Zhan Liu used his power and absorbed combat experience, causing his own Complete State to grow rapidly as well.

The situation was now crystal clear. It all depended on whether Zhan Liu would reach Fifty Heavens first or Magneto would catch up in Complete State first. Whoever achieved their goal first would win; whoever fell a step behind would lose.

The victor lived, and the loser died!

Apart from the mature martial techniques specifically designed for Magnetic Field Rotation, the main source of Zhan Liu’s Complete State was witnessing the Earth explode and time reverse with his own eyes, as well as his close contact with the two great Infinity Stones of time and space.

Such fortuitous encounters were exceedingly rare. Many people would never experience even one in their entire lives.

That was why Magneto’s Complete State was far behind Zhan Liu’s, and catching up would not be easy.

This time, Zhan Liu felt that he held a considerable advantage.

Under Magneto’s immense pressure, after another dozen hours of combat, Zhan Liu finally broke through again.

"Magnetic Field Rotation, Forty Heavens!"

"Ultimate Sinking Thunder Hand!"

However, although he had broken through, he was still completely powerless against Magneto’s "Bipolar Fist: Positive-Negative Collision." One of his arms was brutally annihilated once more.

Moreover, Magneto seized the opportunity created by his severed arm and relentlessly chased him down with a savage barrage of attacks. Zhan Liu was beaten until blood sprayed from his mouth, and no one knew how many bones throughout his body had broken. He managed to hold on only through "Ultimate Energy Conversion Art" and "Ultimate Cyclone Burst."

Although his severed arm had already regrown, he had lost the initiative and was continuously battered by Magneto.

The balance of victory and defeat had already begun to tilt.

Just as the two were furiously trading blows, a voice suddenly passed over their ears and entered their minds directly.

"Hello? Hello? Can anyone hear me?"

"Excellent! It seems the modified Cerebro is quite useful after all."

"I am Colonel Stryker, and I’m broadcasting live to everyone through X-Weapon."

"Mutants have always been a grave threat to human society. However, the short-sighted governments of the world have failed to realize this, allowing mutant forces to grow until they caused the tragedies that have occurred recently…"

This sudden voice disrupted the rhythm of Magneto’s attacks.

He knew very clearly that only one person in the entire world could accomplish this: his good friend, Professor Charles.

But Professor Charles had been captured by Stryker. At the time, Magneto had decided to abandon his old friend so that he could continue his plan to exterminate humanity, and had not gone to rescue him.

But now, it seemed that Professor Charles had been turned into a mutant weapon by Stryker. That so-called X-Weapon had clearly been made using Professor X.

The instant regret arose in his mind, he immediately crushed it with his will.

If he had rescued Charles back then, given Charles’s personality, he certainly would have tried to stop Magneto’s plan to destroy the world. No one understood better than Magneto just how powerful Charles’s abilities were.

Therefore, his choice had been correct!

Everything was for the mutants!

Magneto forced himself to harden his heart and continued listening to Stryker’s declaration.

Seeing that his plan was about to succeed and that he was about to become the savior who rescued the world, Stryker was visibly exhilarated. He rambled on for quite some time before finally getting to the point.

"…I have always been dedicated to eliminating mutants. At last, I recently created the most powerful X-Weapon. It is the finest communications device, as well as a formidable weapon."

"Through this weapon, I can eliminate all mutants in an instant!"

Magneto was violently startled. He knew full well how powerful his old friend’s ability was. It could eliminate all ordinary humans in an instant, and naturally it could eliminate all mutants in an instant as well.

Before this, he had always believed that Charles possessed such an ability but failed to use it, which was an awful waste. But now he was terrified by the thought of that ability being misused and the horrifying consequences it would bring.

He turned around and was about to descend and eliminate Stryker. With his current abilities, locating Stryker and killing him would not take long.

But everything was already too late…

"Are all the targets locked on?" Stryker was clearly asking someone beside him.

"Excellent. In that case, my fellow humans, congratulations. Starting today, you will be completely freed from the threat of mutants!"

"I hereby officially announce that mutants have become a thing of the past!"

Magneto felt as if his brain had been struck by a heavy blow. His body froze, and he let out a miserable howl as blood flowed from all seven orifices.

"NO!!!!!!!!!!"

If this was the result for him, then the fate of those ordinary mutants was self-evident.

"Haha… Magneto, from now on, you can introduce yourself to others like this: ‘My name is Magneto, and I’m a goddamn survivor!’ Haha…"

Zhan Liu stood in the void, wildly mocking Magneto.

Magneto was filled with regret!

If he had slowed down his plan even slightly and rescued Charles first, perhaps none of this would have happened.

But it was too late for words now. Everything had already happened, and it was irreversible!

So this was fate!

When you believed you were walking down the right path, fate would coldly tell you at the end that it had been a fork in the road all along!

A dead end!

Regret, pain, helplessness… Emotions far deeper than those he had felt when he first turned to darkness once again flooded into the heart he had believed to be cold, scorching and gnawing at it viciously…

He stared blankly at Earth, sensing the auras of all the mutants upon it gradually disappearing. He felt his heart sink toward the bottom of the sea, deeper and deeper. The flames of hatred that had filled his eyes slowly went out, leaving them devoid of all light, making him look like a dead man.

Gradually, even his heartbeat became barely audible. His entire body seemed to have solidified in space like a corpse.

What would happen when a Magnetic Lunatic had nothing left and could no longer lose anything?

Inside Magneto’s corpse-like body, the Magnetic Field Force began rotating at a frenzied speed unlike anything before, rotating, rotating, rotating…

"Magnetic Field Rotation, Ninety-Seven Heavens!"

"Since the mutants are gone, what meaning is there in this planet continuing to exist?!"

"Shatter for me!!!"

Earth shattered again!
