Time seemed to stop flowing at this moment.
Everyone, including Apocalypse, stared at Wolverine's twisted metal claws, their expressions frozen in shock as if struck by a paralysis spell.
You have to be kidding me!
Professor X and the others knew Peter was strong.
But they truly hadn't expected this human to be this exaggeratedly powerful.
Those were bone claws made of Adamantium!
Not only could they cut through iron like mud, but their toughness was astonishing; even if an elephant stepped on them, they probably wouldn't deform in the slightest.
Yet right now, that man named Peter had actually twisted Adamantium into a pretzel with his bare flesh and blood?!
In the dead silence, Peter raised his leg again and delivered a clean, crisp front kick, landing solidly on Logan's chest.
Bang!!!
Logan's stocky frame flew backward like a cannonball. While still in mid-air, his body was folded into a "V" shape by the terrifying force.
After flying an unknown number of meters, his back slammed directly into the massive pyramid created by Apocalypse.
It actually smashed straight through the pyramid's outer wall, which was several meters thick.
Even though Logan possessed extraordinary regenerative abilities at this moment and had been brainwashed by both Stryker and Apocalypse into a fearless warrior...
...he couldn't help but let out a shrill, miserable howl after enduring such a heavy blow.
The pain contained in that sound made the X-Men in the distance shudder with fear.
But just when everyone thought Logan was surely dead...
...a series of eerie "click-clack" sounds came from the hole in the pyramid.
Before long, a completely unharmed Wolverine, whose aura was even more violent than before, reappeared before everyone.
Logan's innate healing factor, combined with Apocalypse's enhancements, gave him what was practically true immortality!
Walking out of the pyramid, Logan shook his head. There was not a shred of fear in his crimson eyes, only a purer desire for slaughter.
"Roar!"
He let out a bestial roar, then once again charged toward Peter, knowing neither pain nor fatigue.
But the next second, he was sent flying back even faster.
Charging up, flying back—it happened over and over again.
After this process continued for who knows how long, Peter grew completely tired of this "dodgeball" game.
"Tsk, it seems normal methods won't make you behave ~"
As he spoke, he raised his left hand and casually tapped the Omnitrix.
A flash of green light flickered by.
Peter's figure changed rapidly within the light. His original human form vanished, replaced by a giant over three meters tall, covered in a shell as tough as ancient tree bark, with limbs as thick as the trunks of thousand-year-old trees.
Flora Colossus!
After the transformation, Peter just stood there casually, giving off a sense of immovable, mountainous solidity.
Facing Wolverine, who was pouncing again, he couldn't even be bothered to dodge. He simply raised a finger, and a wooden shield erupted from the ground, trapping Wolverine's claws firmly within it and bringing his charge to a complete halt.
"Children," Peter's leisurely voice came from the giant's body, laced with a hint of playfulness, "do you know what the best solution to soil erosion is?"
"Huh?"
Jubilee, who was in the midst of shock, subconsciously replied, "Wh... what?"
Just then, Logan finally used his other hand to shred the wooden shield, roaring as he charged over again.
At the same time, Apocalypse, who had been watching coldly from the top of the pyramid, slowly raised his hand.
Following his movement, the surrounding yellow sand quickly transformed into two massive yellow sand dragons, roaring as they swept toward Peter.
Facing this "desperate situation" of being attacked from both sides, Peter, transformed into the Flora Colossus, merely revealed a wild smile: "The answer, of course, is... to shelter from the sand and avoid the wind!"
This dad joke made Jubilee unable to help but laugh out loud at an inappropriate time.
And the moment Peter's voice fell, he slammed his hands together: "Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Rumble rumble rumble—!
The ground of the entire Xavier Institute began to shake violently, like never before!
The solid earth rolled and cracked like ocean waves, and countless massive trees, thick enough to require a dozen people to embrace them, drilled out from underground in a display of wild, savage growth!
They twisted, intertwined, and climbed, and in the blink of an eye, they created a primeval forest that blotted out the sky above the ruins!
Wolverine, who had been halfway through his pounce, was instantly tightly bound by dozens of tough tree roots and vines, tied into a giant wooden cocoon; no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free in the slightest.
The two sand dragons controlled by Apocalypse performed even worse.
When the sandstorm, comparable to a sandblaster, hit this impenetrable forest, it immediately lost control, having no choice but to turn into powerless sand and fall in a rustle.
Even Magneto, who was floating in mid-air, was shocked to discover that his connection to the surrounding metal had been largely severed by this suddenly appearing forest, with countless metal remnants locked tightly underground by the tangled tree roots.
No matter how he tried to manipulate them, it was very difficult to make those metal remnants break free from the tree roots.
The entire battlefield was instantly swallowed by a sea of green.
This scene caused even Apocalypse's eternally unchanging blue face to show obvious fluctuations.
It revealed a look of obvious bewilderment.
He did not understand!
He clearly knew from television programs that humans were a species that possessed no superpowers.
Yet why could the human before him display such power?
Compared to his yellow sand, which symbolized destruction, this display of creating an entire forest with a wave of a hand was more like the legendary... God of Creation!
After casting a satisfied glance at the tightly bound Wolverine, Peter turned his gaze toward Magneto, whose expression was equally ugly, and a kindly smile appeared on his face: "Next, it's your turn."
The moment his voice fell, Magneto found it amusing.
This human wanted to attack him?
What a joke; he could fly using magnetic fields!
As a human, what could he possibly use to fight someone who could fly?
Just as he was thinking this...
Pfft, pfft, pfft~
A strange sound came from below.
Magneto looked down and discovered that the source of the sound was actually Peter, who had already returned to human form.
At this moment, he was like a weightless paper cutout, stepping on the air and walking toward him in the sky, step by step.
Moonwalk!
Seeing this scene from below, the corners of Professor X and the others' eyes twitched involuntarily.
This guy... just how many bizarre abilities is he still hiding?
