“If your brain is still normal, you should have guessed that Magneto did this by now,” Logan said, somewhat speechless.
“Just kidding, I’ll let you down right away,” Ethan said with a smile as he walked over.
“Morpheus, watch your back!” As Storm’s voice just fell, Ethan felt a Shadow appear behind him.
Subconsciously turning around, Ethan saw a golden-haired man nearly two meters tall standing behind him, a pair of Beast-like eyes staring at Ethan, the aggression within them self-evident.
“Uh, you must be Sabretooth.
Can we settle this peacefully?
If you don’t attack me, I can consider giving you a catnip stick in return,” Ethan said dryly, waving his hand.
“Roar!” Sabretooth roared, then reached out and grabbed Ethan’s shoulder, seemingly intending to throw him out.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t lift Ethan, and at this moment, Ethan suddenly extended both hands and grabbed one of Sabretooth’s hands.
Looking at the surprised Sabretooth, Ethan suddenly took a deep breath and, imitating White Queen, executed a shoulder throw.
“Boom!” With a tremor, a large hole was smashed directly into the ground, and Sabretooth had already fallen from the top floor.
“How did the mighty Sabretooth turn into a simpleton?” After sighing, Ethan turned around and unbound Cyclops and the others.
Logan, who had just been released, stretched his limbs, but his gaze couldn’t help but glance at the large hole Sabretooth had smashed.
Wolverine’s expression towards Ethan became complicated.
“It seems you went easy on me back at the school.” Wolverine, whose favorable impression of Ethan had greatly increased, subconsciously reached out to pat Ethan’s shoulder, but stopped immediately just as his hand was about to touch Ethan’s shoulder.
Pursing his lips, Wolverine, not knowing how to face Ethan, could only give an awkward smile and then silently withdrew his hand.
Ethan also smiled and said nothing more.
“Where is Magneto?” Ethan turned around and asked.
“He’s on top of the Liberty Statue’s torch.
He’s probably about to activate the device,” Cyclops said.
As if to confirm his words, the top of the torch suddenly burst open, revealing a device.
Sitting inside the device was an ordinary girl, who was naturally Rogue.
And Magneto was standing beside her, holding the girl’s hand.
When touching Rogue’s skin, her life energy would be absorbed by Rogue, and if the person opposite was a Mutant, she would temporarily gain that Mutant’s ability.
At this moment, Magneto clearly looked like he had been drained by Rogue, but this stubborn old man was still unwilling to let go of Rogue’s hand and instead activated the device with difficulty.
A vertical iron ring was seen rapidly rotating around Rogue and Magneto, and white light began to pour out from the device.
Although called white light, upon closer inspection, it looked more like a white liquid light mass.
Its expansion speed was slow, but it could be seen that as the white light mass grew larger, its expansion speed also increased.
And within the light mass, Rogue was shouting in pain, and a strand of hair on her forehead could be vaguely seen turning white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Damn it, Magneto has already started the device!
This device will kill Rogue!
Cyclops, quickly destroy this device!” Logan shouted anxiously at Cyclops.
“No, the device’s rotation is interfering with me.
Rashly firing an Impact might hurt Rogue,” Cyclops said through clenched teeth.
“Aside from Magneto, no one knows the extent of the device’s connection to Rogue.
Violently destroying the device might actually kill Rogue,” Jean said at this moment.
“I’ll go grab Magneto and ask him.” Logan had already rushed into the white light mass, extending his adamantium claws and climbing towards the top of the Liberty Statue’s torch.
“By the time Uncle Wolf gets the answer from Magneto, I guess the entire New York will have been illuminated.” Seeing the white light mass that had reached him, Ethan muttered to himself, then stomped his foot on the ground, and Ethan leaped up, rushing towards the top of the torch.
“Cool!” Logan, who was struggling to climb the torch with his claws, saw Ethan fly past him and immediately said subconsciously.
“Who are you?” Magneto, who was holding Rogue at the time, saw a strange young man suddenly jump up, and his expression changed instantly.
At this moment, he couldn’t possibly free his hands to stop Ethan.
“Of course, I’m the one here to save this girl,” Ethan said as he strode over.
“I warn you not to act rashly.
She has become the core of this machine.
If you damage the machine, she will definitely not fare well,” Magneto said breathlessly.
“Is that so?
That’s indeed a bit troublesome.” Ethan frowned.
“Although I don’t know if it will work, I’ll have to try this for now.” Seeing Magneto and Rogue pressing their hands on the machine, Ethan also pressed his hand down.
“Vector Control, Reflect!!” The moment Ethan shouted this sentence, the white light mass stopped expanding, giving the feeling that time had frozen.
But the next moment, the white light mass began to rapidly retreat, shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
All the energy instantly returned to the device, as if it had never stopped.
Rogue’s painful shouts stopped, but the strand of white hair on her forehead did not disappear.
Ethan had only sent all the energy back, not reversed time, so he naturally couldn’t restore the strand of white hair.
“Are you okay?” Ethan tentatively asked Rogue.
“I’m fine, ah, your hand!
Let go of me quickly!” Noticing that Ethan had actually held her hand, Rogue immediately shouted in terror.
“What’s wrong with my hand?” Ethan looked at Rogue, somewhat puzzled.
“You’re actually fine?
You’re not afraid of me…
No, I mean, you’re not afraid of my power?” Rogue stared at Ethan as if she had seen a ghost.
Even when tied up here by Magneto, her expression wasn’t this exaggerated.
“It seems so now,” Ethan said as he unlocked Rogue’s chains.
Rogue’s ability naturally couldn’t harm him.
How could he, who possessed Vector Control ability, have his energy absorbed by someone else?
In fact, if Ethan hadn’t restrained the Reflect ability just now, the energy within Rogue’s body would have surged into Ethan’s body instead, and Rogue would have been the one to die.
“It’s simply incredible.” Rogue covered her nose, her eyes completely red.
“Are you okay?” Seeing that Rogue was crying, Ethan was suddenly a bit confused.
Could she have been injured somewhere by my Reflect?
After all, this was the first time Ethan had performed a Reflect of this magnitude.
“I’m fine, I’m just happy.” That’s right, Rogue was very happy.
At this moment, she even wondered if she was dreaming.
In this World, there was actually someone who wasn’t afraid of her ability and could have physical contact with her freely.
Was there anything that could make her happier than this?
Rogue stared intently at Ethan, as if wanting to imprint everything about the person before her into her heart.
What was the name of this young man who came to save her?
At this moment, a feeling of destiny couldn’t help but rise in Rogue’s heart.
And Ethan had no idea what the girl behind him was thinking, because his gaze had already turned to Magneto.
After Ethan activated Reflect, Magneto sat down on the ground with a thud.
He, who had originally looked pale and seemed like he was about to collapse, now had a flushed face, as if he had eaten a box of energy pills.
This was also normal, because the power that had been completely absorbed by Rogue was brutally returned to his body by Ethan’s Reflect, and no one would feel good about that.
“Old Man Magneto, are you okay?” Ethan lowered his head and looked at Magneto, saying, As Professor X’s long-time good friend, if he caused any major problems, it would be hard for Ethan to explain to Professor X.
Hearing Ethan’s words, Magneto suddenly raised his head, his flushed face twitched, and only then did he squeeze out three words with difficulty.
“A little…
full!”
