Just as Logan recovered from the buffer of falling from the second floor, a massive figure lunged straight down from upstairs.
With a flick of his claws, he braced against the impact and slid back two steps.
Looking closely, he realized it was Sabretooth, whom he had just met a few days ago.
Without wasting any words, he initiated the Bagua Double-Swapping Palms, coordinating with his steel claws to tear several wounds into the opponent’s body.
Although they healed quickly, it still slowed down the frequency of the opponent’s attacks.
Ducking to dodge Sabretooth’s pounce, he pierced the opponent’s liver and kidney area with his right claw.
Taking advantage of the moment of daze, his left claw drove straight into the opponent’s lower jaw, effortlessly piercing through the skull from bottom to top.
In excruciating pain, Sabretooth convulsed his body.
Logan pressed his advantage relentlessly, driving his right claw horizontally into the neck and yanking outward with both claws, forcibly pulling out the opponent’s head along with the spine.
This move fully demonstrated what it meant when a Mutant knew martial arts: no one could stop them.
This scene caused the students secretly peeking from the second floor to gasp in shock.
‘Detected enemy killed dropping x-factor.
Would you like to absorb it?’
Silently choosing yes, Logan felt the enhancement in his strength, senses, healing factor, and bones, slowly letting out a breath.
Ororo and Jean, dressed in pajamas, had just arrived and saw the decapitated corpse on the ground, quickly recognizing the identity of the person.
“Sabretooth?”
“Magneto really made a move.”
Logan lit a cigar and said, “Mystique Raven is in my room.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Ororo and Jean changed instantly.
“What?!”
Logan suddenly realized his words were ambiguous and quickly added to Ororo, “She turned into your appearance, but I saw through it and temporarily subdued her.”
Hearing this, Ororo’s expression turned ugly, and she turned and walked quickly toward Logan’s room.
Jean gave Logan a suspicious up-and-down look, then chased after Ororo without a word.
Logan was quite open-minded about this; anyway, he hadn’t done anything.
Then…
“Bastard!!”
Looking at Raven, who was gritting her teeth, Logan’s mouth twitched.
Ororo and Jean were also extremely puzzled at this moment.
They clearly saw nothing unusual about Raven earlier, so why was she showing this attitude toward Logan now?
“Raven, for the sake of old times, can you tell me what Erik is actually doing? I don’t want to use my powers on you.” Charles looked at Raven with a complex expression, filled with nostalgia and sorrow.
Raven put away her resentful expression toward Logan and sighed, “Charles, there is no way you can stop Erik. You know his personality; once he makes a decision, he will not take it back.”
“Whether we can stop him or not, how would we know without trying?” Charles smiled gently.
Raven fell silent for a moment and slowly said, “Soon, at the World Summit, Erik plans to use a device that activates the x-factor to turn World leaders into Mutants, forcing them to recognize the status of Mutants.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Charles and the others instantly changed expressions.
They didn’t see the benefits that the success of this plan would bring; they only saw that once this plan was completed, Mutants would face a devastating catastrophe.
“What on earth is that guy Magneto thinking?” Logan bared his teeth, speechless.
“Has he never considered that even if he actually succeeds, would those people willingly submit to his coercion? Once they go back, they will find ways to cover up the truth and immediately retaliate brutally against the Mutant community. By then, the World will be in complete chaos.”
Hearing Logan’s words, Raven did not refute.
How could she not be aware of the problems in this?
It wasn’t like she hadn’t brought it up, but Erik was too stubborn.
Charles sighed repeatedly, at a loss for how to evaluate his old friend’s mindset.
To describe Magneto with a phrase from later generations, it was a classic case of being terrible yet loving to play.
“So, why did he capture Mary?” Ororo looked puzzled.
Raven glanced at her and said, “Mary’s ability can temporarily absorb the abilities of other Mutants. That device requires Erik’s abilities to operate, but completing the transformation will drain his powers dry. It can only be done through this buffering method of letting Mary absorb and use it.”
“Simply put, treating Mary as a battery.” Jean said thoughtfully.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Just as Charles was about to say something, an old voice carrying a hint of ruthlessness and majesty rang in everyone’s ears.
“You killed my people and imprisoned my people, Charles, are you trying to start a war with me?”
Magneto, Erik Lehnsherr had arrived!
Everyone came outside the estate.
Wearing a cloak and a shielding helmet, Magneto looked old, but his aura was extremely fierce as he stood there with his arms crossed.
Although he stood completely still, it made everyone feel as though they were facing a formidable enemy.
If he obtained the opponent’s ability, would he be invincible?
Magnetic Field Manipulation, although not as overpowered as in the comics, was still not weak, and its upper limit could not be considered low.
What’s more, his own metallic skeleton was naturally countered by the opponent’s power.
Eliminating a natural enemy and gaining a powerful ability—this business deal was guaranteed to be profitable!
Solving Magneto wasn’t without a way; as long as his helmet was removed, anyone with telepathic abilities could control his body and prevent him from acting rashly.
Just like how he solved Sebastian Shaw back then.
While Logan was pondering how to deal with Magneto, Charles also started a conversation with his old friend.
“Erik, you are still so obstinate. In your so-called plan, have you never considered the possibility of failure?”
“Charles, you are always so soft-hearted. Back then, if you hadn’t stopped me, we could have ruled the World during the Cuban Missile Crisis!”
“That was merely a small fraction of the power displayed by humans. Do you want to make an enemy of the entire World? Do you know this will bring an unprecedented disaster?”
“So what if I make an enemy of the entire World? As long as it allows Mutants to change their current status and become the Masters of this World, I will stop at nothing!”
“Your idea might be good from the starting point, but the method is wrong. If possible, old friend, let’s sit down and talk, alright?”
Seeing Charles’s nearly pleading attitude, Magneto was moved for a split second, but it was still overwritten by the coldness and obsession deep in his heart.
“No need, let Raven go, and I won’t cause you trouble today.”
Charles sighed, gripping the back of his chair with slight force.
His pale fingers revealed the inner turbulence in his heart.
“Erik, you know I cannot watch you drag the entire Mutant community into the quagmire of war and death.”
“Then what’s the point of talking nonsense?” Magneto spread his hands wide, and instantly the earth shook and the mountains swayed.
All metallic objects around began to tremble and distort.
At this moment, Logan had unknowingly crept to the rear, whispering to Kurt and Scott beside him, “In a moment, Blue Tail, you flash behind that old guy; there will be an opening to subdue him. Cyclops, you aim at that old guy’s head; as long as you knock off his helmet, Jean and Charles can control him.”
Although Scott didn’t like Logan, now wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum with him.
He could still distinguish priorities, so he nodded lightly..
Kurt was very obedient, perhaps longing for the feeling of being needed, but Logan’s nickname for him made him somewhat depressed.
“If possible, don’t call me Blue Tail.”
“Alright, Blue Head.”
