This left Magneto completely stunned.
He wasn't one who had never seen a Mutant break free from steel reinforcement wraps, but he had truly never seen someone do it so ridiculously, almost reducing the steel bars to powder!
However, Magneto wasn't someone who would be easily frightened. With a cold sneer, he raised his hand once again.
In an instant, the entire Base began to tremble, and countless pieces of steel flew into the sky, hovering around Magneto.
With just a wave of his hand, he could let Ryan experience a Marvel version of Return of the Myriad Swords!
"Eric, stop!"
Just as Magneto was about to swing his hand down, a familiar voice appeared in his ears.
This caused Magneto's entire body to stiffen, and with disbelief filling his eyes, he searched for the source of the voice.
He saw a figure he was extremely familiar with slowly walking out from the unclosed portal.
It was Professor X, who had just finished comforting the surviving Mutants recruited from all over the World.
"Charles, you... are still alive?"
Looking at Professor X, Magneto felt as if he were dreaming.
Especially seeing that Professor X wasn't sitting in a wheelchair, but instead walking out step by step, he felt even more incredulous.
You must know that a long time ago, during an operation where they cooperated to deal with the Black King, Professor X's spine was permanently damaged due to a gunshot wound.
It was fundamentally impossible for him to stand up!
This made Magneto feel even more that he was in a dream.
Could it be that he missed the deceased Charles too much, so what he thought about by day became his dreams by night?
'No, Eric, you are not dreaming...'
Right at this moment, Professor X's voice actually resounded in his mind.
This startled Magneto, and he instinctively reached for the helmet on his head.
Yet he discovered that his helmet, which blocked mental intrusion, was clearly still on his head.
"It's Ryan. He enhanced my ability, and your helmet is already ineffective against me now, Eric..."
Following Professor X's words, a series of images entered his mind.
That was the entire process of Ryan resurrecting everyone in the X-Academy, Ryan's unreasonable and powerful strength, and him subduing them at the X-Academy as well as the surviving Mutants across the entire World!
Having finished watching all of this, Magneto finally believed that he wasn't dreaming, and slowly descended in front of Ryan and Professor X.
Magneto looked at Ryan with a complex expression: "So that disaster earlier that almost destroyed the World was 'accidentally' caused by you, and then casually repaired by you as well..."
Facing Ryan, even Magneto—who had confidence when targeted by all of humanity and facing sentinel robots specifically designed against Mutants—lost his confidence for the first time.
Facing an existence for whom destroying the World was simpler than eating and drinking water, even if he tried his utmost, he estimated that in the other party's eyes it would merely be a joke...
Ryan glanced at the somewhat dejected Magneto, the corners of his mouth curving up: "What, do you also want to possess the ability to destroy the World?"
Magneto was taken aback, then nodded as a matter of course: "Of course. Perhaps this way I can change the current status quo of Mutants being ostracized, and let our compatriots live better lives!"
Hearing Magneto's words, Ryan felt a bit of admiration for him.
To humans, Magneto was indeed an extreme and anti-human existence.
But to Mutants, Magneto was undoubtedly the best leader.
Everything he did was not for himself, but for all Mutants.
That was why there was a steady stream of Mutants willing to follow Magneto.
And Ryan rather appreciated Magneto as well.
Even before crossing over, he had appreciated him a lot.
Compared even to Professor X's philosophy of peaceful coexistence with humans, Ryan's own personality was actually much more similar to Magneto's!
Therefore...
"Then as you wish..."
Ryan pointed his left index finger at the center of Magneto's forehead.
Golden light and purple light penetrated into Magneto's brain together.
The power of the mind developed Magneto's unfully tapped potential, while the power of strength was responsible for strengthening Magneto himself, allowing his body to withstand the potential about to be fully unleashed!
You must know that Magneto and Professor X were not the same.
Although the two were often treated as existences of the same tier, and even at times Professor X seemed somewhat stronger.
But in reality, in terms of Mutant levels, Magneto was stronger than Professor X!
Professor X was merely an Alpha-level Mutant!
But Magneto was a solid Omega-level Mutant!
And the entry requirement for an Omega-level Mutant was at least having the ability to destroy a star!
Magneto didn't have it before, but after Ryan helped truly develop his abilities, he had it now!
Only to see Magneto's eyes flashing with golden light, and purple light circulating on his hands.
He felt as if he had become somewhat different...
He looked around at everything in a daze...
The people were still those people...
The objects were still those objects...
But...
Regarding all things around him, Magneto discovered that he seemed no longer limited to having a special connection with metal, but instead existed with a special connection—either strong or weak—to everything!
Especially...
Magneto lowered his head to look, looking at the Earth beneath his feet.
He inexplicably felt as if... he could control the entire Earth!
Not only that, it seemed he had gained many, many abilities he didn't have before!
Thus...
Magneto reached out towards a piece of steel. Originally, he could at most manipulate them to attack, at most twisting and compressing them a bit into the general shape of a weapon.
But now...
With a thought in his mind.
He saw that piece of steel as if decomposed, turning into countless fine particles. These particles even reached the subatomic level, completely lacking any visible graininess to the naked eye!
With another thought from Magneto, those subatomic-level metal particles all gathered onto his palm.
Then, like magic, they gathered into an exquisite knight's longsword.
He suddenly swung the longsword towards an open space!
Swoosh— Zzz—!
A translucent blade of light carrying current flew out from the longsword, slashing a huge, charred crack into the ground!
Holding the perfect longsword in his hand, Magneto couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face: "Oh, this feeling is simply too... miraculous..."
Ryan smiled faintly:
"Doesn't it feel nice? This is still just the tip of the iceberg of your developed abilities. When we go to my Universe, I will arrange some teachers in the new Superhuman Academy, and you can go take some physics classes together."
The joy on Magneto's face stagnated, and he said in disbelief: "Wait? You mean I'm not going to be a teacher, but a student?"
"You've got to be kidding me!"
Ryan glanced at him: "If you want to be a teacher, that's fine too. Go to the academy and moonlight as a combat class teacher, but the identity of a student is also necessary."
"On what grounds? Why can Charles be the headmaster, and I can only be a student and a part-time teacher?" Magneto was very unconvinced.
In the memories Professor X showed him, he knew that Ryan was going to create this Superhuman Academy, and Professor X was the headmaster!
And as Professor X's long-time old friend and old rival, he at least had to be a vice-headmaster, right?
