Countless flashes of lightning lingered low in the sky, with thunder echoing wildly through the air. It was the sound of positive and negative electrical fields colliding, again and again, like the booming of war drums, causing people's hearts to tremble in rhythm.
The entire city was caught in this inexplicable vibrational rhythm. The media had begun to notify all citizens, using a severe thunderstorm as an excuse to urge them to leave the city's most famous areas as soon as possible.
Panic and riots had begun to spread among humans. Those with high-status connections had received notifications from the government at the first opportunity and had already begun to leave the city before the situation escalated. Zhou Lan and the others were naturally among them.
With the help of his recent partner, the Ashford Family, Zhou Yi had asked Alfred to pick up his mother and sister, protecting their safety until his return. Of course, as a price, his cooperation with Alfred would have to be deepened. Naturally, the specific level of depth would still need to be determined through negotiation between the two parties.
When Zhou Lan and Charisse were personally picked up by Alfred, they naturally asked about the whereabouts of Zhou Yi and the others because not only Zhou Yi but also Ororo and the others had vanished. This situation left some people with much to think about. Especially Charisse, who had witnessed Zhou Yi's power, she had already developed an unimaginable interest in everything that was happening. Unfortunately, she was unable to make any waves with Zhou Lan by her side.
And at this moment, Zhou Yi was already at the location where the lightning was most concentrated, the discharge terminal of the magnetic storm coil that enveloped the entire city.
That was where Magneto was. At this moment, Magneto, Erik, was suspended in the midst of countless thunderstorms with the help of his own body's weak magnetic field. Magnetism surrounded him, enveloping him in countless lightning bolts. Even because of the excessive concentration of magnetism, it had formed a huge attraction towards the surrounding scattered lightning. Lightning was gathered together, and electrical currents accumulated in a small space. This caused the voltage here to rise rapidly, and countless colliding electrons were stripped from atoms during the collisions, resulting in obvious ionization. These ionized electrons formed a large amount of liquefied plasma, and the terrifying temperature was enough to make anyone shudder.
Standing here required more than just courage; it also required sufficient strength. What Magneto wanted to express was very simple: if you want to challenge him, the leader of the Mutants, and have an equal exchange, then at the very least, you must appear before him. This was the initial test. If you can't do this, you don't even have the qualifications to negotiate.
Zhou Yi's super vision allowed him to easily locate Magneto. The moment he saw Magneto, he understood the mutant leader's intentions. However, daring to challenge Magneto meant he had some confidence.
With Rogue, Zhou Yi charged directly into the heart of the countless bolts of electricity. Lightning struck at them, but the sufficiently strong Telekinetic Shield was enough to protect him and Rogue. The electricity disintegrated into countless tiny currents on impact, but it couldn't affect Zhou Yi at all.
However, when entering the area surging with Plasma Field, Zhou Yi had to be extremely cautious. The highly concentrated plasma brought with it absolutely terrifying temperatures. Even Zhou Yi didn't want to easily venture into hundreds of thousands of degrees.
But this didn't mean Zhou Yi had no other options. Just like how Magneto used magnetism to form a massive Gravity Field, preventing all electricity from intruding, Zhou Yi also used his innate, magical power to resist all the dangers here.
Gravity and magnetism are both fundamental forces of the universe. Just like Magneto's infinite uses of magnetism, gravity also had various indescribable wonders. Although Zhou Yi's use of gravity was still shallow, even this shallow application was enough to cope with this situation.
The Gravity Field instantly spread out. All the currents began to flow in a certain direction under the influence of gravity. A completely blank area was instantly formed around Zhou Yi, like an island in the ocean. This distorted Gravity Field isolated the current, and even the temperature, outside the force field. It couldn't affect Zhou Yi and Rogue in the slightest.
In front of the two of them, the violent sea of electricity completely lost its arrogance and flamboyance. They were now like obedient subjects kneeling before their king, leaving only docility and submission.
This was only the basic application of the Gravity Field. If Zhou Yi could expand the field's gravity to a certain limit, he could even influence the flow of the river of time. Of course, such an existence couldn't exist on a small Earth. That kind of power could only appear in the bottomless black holes of the universe.
Looking at Zhou Yi step by step, leading Rogue to conquer the Sea of Thunder and appear before him, even Magneto couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. The old man, sitting cross-legged on a floating metal chair, applauded and praised him.
"As expected of the young man entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Charles, as expected of the world-renowned superhero. I acknowledge your ability; you are indeed qualified to sit before me and mention a challenge. But before that, I need to confirm again, young man, do you really want to challenge me?"
Zhou Yi took two steps forward, floating to the same height as Magneto, and responded.
"I don't think I need to think anymore. Those who only hesitate in their hearts will not reach their destination. If you really want to be sure, then I am happy to tell you, yes! Magneto, Erik Lehnsherr, I want to challenge you, with Rogue herself and your sitting down to negotiate with me as the stakes. Do you accept, Mr. Erik?"
Magneto closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, his eyes suddenly opened, revealing a passion that was different from his already aged body. The long-awaited fire in his heart had been ignited by Zhou Yi.
"I accept your challenge, Dawn Knight!" With the help of electromagnetic diffusion, his voice was so loud that it was enough to shake the entire city. "With the future of humans and Mutants as the bet, let's begin the duel. If you win, I will abandon my plan and talk to the humans you speak of about their so-called peace. But if I win, then let all humans prepare for the arrival of a Mutant era."
His voice not only shocked the city but also shocked all the humans who heard these words. The battle between Mutants and superheroes, and the future of the two races. Such an event instantly rose from a city problem to a huge height. Almost all eyes were drawn to this city, once famous for its romance.
"Come on, I'm of the same mind." Being able to fight against a powerful Mutant like Magneto, who had been famous for a long time, was enough to ignite Zhou Yi's fervent fighting spirit. It was rare for a superhero as strong as him to meet an opponent who could go all out. And Magneto was definitely one of the most qualified opponents.
He was ready to fight, but before the battle began, he needed to secure the bystanders. Rogue's life was very important, and Zhou Yi had no intention of sacrificing her. He signaled Magneto with a look.
Magneto, a man wise with age, naturally understood what he meant. He stretched out his hand. Several heavy steel beams on the Eiffel Tower immediately split apart. Under his control, these beams broke down into tiny metal particles and quickly reassembled, forming something like a birdcage. Of course, it was much larger than a normal birdcage, easily able to hold a person.
He waved his hand, causing the giant birdcage to float in front of Rogue and said in a low voice:
"Get in, girl. Soon you will face your destiny, and your life will lay the first brick for the new era of Mutants."
His words were enough to make Rogue tremble with fear. Not many people could face death calmly, especially when she was just a child. However, Zhou Yi's voice followed, bringing courage back to her heart.
"Don't worry, Marie. I'll take you back soon. This is my promise to Logan!"
Clenching her teeth, Rogue resolutely stepped into the birdcage. The moment she entered, the cage closed instantly. Under Magneto's control, the birdcage was placed far behind them, forming a unique platform to observe the battlefield.
"You can start now, young man. Let me see what you're so proud of." The Mutant leader smiled after doing all this. He fully displayed the demeanor of a top-tier powerhouse, allowing Dawn Knight to make the first move.
Victorious battles are won by gradually expanding one's advantage. Zhou Yi, firmly believing this, decisively accepted Magneto's offer. His body transformed into a storm of lightning, triggering an equally shocking roar within this environment of thunderstorms.
With his first move, he unleashed a Supersonic Attack five times the speed of sound, instantly surpassing all spatial barriers and launching his attack toward Magneto with a roar even more thunderous than thunder itself.
His fist effortlessly tore through the air, and the combination of speed and power even caused flames to appear on his fist, a sight of the air being ignited by rapid friction. Simultaneously, wave-like patterns rippled around him. At such speeds, even the air itself couldn't maintain stability, and large areas of vacuum were pulled out, creating a bizarre scene.
With such power, Zhou Yi believed that even Magneto would suffer some hardship. He was very confident that even if a building, or even the Eiffel Tower, stood before him, he could smash it to pieces. The combination of power and speed was undoubtedly the most terrifying form of violence.
However, standing before him was Magneto, the king of magnetism.
An invisible shield appeared around Magneto. The closer Zhou Yi got to this shield, the more he felt the repelling force emanating from it. However, these forces couldn't make him hesitate. He didn't believe that Magneto could stop him with just this.
When his body collided with this invisible shield, a tremendous roar erupted. This sound didn't just come from the air; more of it came from underground. The entire foundation of the Eiffel Tower began to shake, and the massive tower itself, along with the surrounding earth, emitted a low rumble.
Zhou Yi's body was shot away like a fired cannonball, the speed of the ejection even faster than his initial speed. In just an instant, he was ejected into the clouds thousands of meters away. Explosive ripples surged through the cloud sea, and at a glance, it looked as if countless donuts had appeared in the sky.
And right in the center of that donut, Zhou Yi stared in astonishment at the distance. There, Magneto sat stably, his shield showing no signs of damage. It seemed he could even sense Zhou Yi's gaze, and across the vast distance, he gave Zhou Yi a warm smile.
That smile was, for Zhou Yi, incredibly blinding.
