Magneto watched Peter approaching step by step, and the relaxed smile on his face instantly vanished.
Although he had been caught off guard by Peter's Moonwalk, a thought still echoed in Magneto's mind: "I can still control this!"
It was true that the Deep Forest Emergence greatly restricted his control over metal. But that didn't mean he had completely lost his combat effectiveness.
As one of the top Mutants on Earth, his understanding of magnetic fields had long since transcended the simple category of "controlling iron."
"Hmph!" Magneto snorted coldly and suddenly spread his hands wide.
An invisible magnetic field spread wildly in all directions with him at the center.
Although he couldn't directly lift the metal debris entangled by the tree roots, he could manipulate the magnetic field to directly sever the connections between the metal molecules, thereby forcibly breaking the exposed iron objects into metal fragments for his use.
As Magneto raised his hand in a beckoning gesture, these metal fragments swept toward Peter like a meat grinder.
At the same time, another, more bizarre force simultaneously locked onto Peter's body.
Peter could clearly feel the flow of blood within his body becoming chaotic, and his heartbeat also showed a hint of discord.
It was iron ions! Magneto was trying to manipulate the iron ions in his blood to restrict his movements from the inside!
Although the iron ion content in the human body wasn't high, and even if it were all extracted, it wouldn't be enough to kill someone directly, this manipulation of iron ions was enough to make a person feel dizzy or have difficulty moving!
Clearly, he intended to use this ability to restrict Peter's movement, making it easier for those metal fragments to pierce Peter's body.
"Interesting." Peter commented with great interest.
Facing the metal storm capable of instantly grinding steel into powder, he couldn't even be bothered to adopt a defensive stance, simply continuing to walk forward step by step.
"Clang, clang, clang—!" A dense sound, like a rainstorm hitting banana leaves, rang out.
Those incredibly sharp metal dust particles crashed against his skin covered in Armament Haki, but apart from sparking a series of tiny flashes, they achieved nothing else.
As for the slight disturbance inside his body, for Peter, who possessed the Horse Talisman and could dispel his own abnormal states at any time, it didn't even count as an itch.
He was seen braving that terrifying metal storm, ignoring the terrifying magnetic field all around, and steadily closing in on Magneto.
Such a scene, falling into the eyes of the students below, could no longer be described with the simple word "shocking."
"My god... he is simply..." Nightcrawler's mouth was wide open, his eyes filled with shock.
"Simply Superman!" Jubilee, who was beside him, directly completed the second half of his sentence.
Invulnerable to weapons, possessing immense strength, able to fly and burrow, creating a forest with a wave of his hand... With this performance, it felt like he was only missing Cyclops to be Superman.
Watching Peter getting closer and closer, beads of sweat couldn't help but appear on Magneto's forehead.
He pushed his magnetic field to the limit, even forcibly dragging a flattened school bus from the ruins further away and smashing it fiercely toward Peter.
But Peter couldn't even be bothered to look, simply throwing a punch casually. "Boom!"
The school bus, weighing several tons, was smashed directly into a metal pancake by his simple and brutal punch.
At the same time, Peter had already arrived in front of Magneto. The fist that had previously been enough to crush the school bus was now less than half a meter away from Magneto's cheek!
Seeing that fist gradually enlarging in his retina, Magneto had to give up all his flashy attacks, concentrating all his power on one point to build an extremely distorted repulsive magnetic field in front of him!
Hum! A bizarre scene occurred.
Peter's unstoppable fist, when it came within half a meter of Magneto, visibly deflected its trajectory, brushing past his body and crashing into empty space.
It was at this critical moment that a figure appeared silently behind Peter like a ghost. It was Angel!
His pair of metal wings, modified by Apocalypse, cut through the air, creating two deadly cold lights, like two of the sharpest war blades, fiercely stabbing at Peter's heart from behind!
The angle of this strike was incredibly tricky, seizing the exact moment when Peter's old force had been exhausted, his new force had not yet arisen, and his defense was at its weakest!
"Watch out!" Professor X and Jean Grey cried out in alarm simultaneously.
The students in the academy couldn't help but have their hearts in their throats, and a few younger girls even covered their eyes, afraid to look any longer, fearing they would see those bloody and cruel scenes they imagined.
Crack!!! A harsh sound of metal snapping echoed across the battlefield!
Under the surprised gazes of Professor X and the others, the moment Angel's metal wings, which were incredibly sharp after being modified by Apocalypse, stabbed into Peter's back, they didn't burst forth with blinding blood.
Instead... Angel's iron wings shattered directly!
The wings only barely managed to tear Peter's clothes, revealing the sturdy back muscles underneath covered in a layer of pitch-black substance.
The moment the iron wings collided with the bronze-cast and iron-forged-like back muscles, because they couldn't withstand that solid power, they could only break there.
The ferocity and smugness on Angel's face instantly froze. He widened his eyes in shock, simply unable to believe that his full-strength strike couldn't even break the opponent's defense!
Just then, Peter slowly turned around, staring at Angel with a half-smile as he lamented: "Sneak attack? You kid... you're pretty brave, huh~"
As he spoke, one hand had already grabbed the sturdy wing, and no matter how Angel flapped his wings, he couldn't struggle free.
Following that, Peter's left hand also grabbed the other half of Angel's wing.
Grabbing one wing with one hand, under Angel's gaze of extreme terror, he pulled gently to both sides... just like tearing apart a roast chicken.
Accompanied by blood splattering, Angel's two steel wings, along with a large piece of flesh and blood, were ripped off by Peter!
Angel in mid-air let out a pig-slaughtering roar, and could only scream as he fell from a height of tens of meters.
Unlike Wolverine's full-body strengthening, his entire being relied on this pair of wings. After losing his wings, he completely devolved into a mortal flesh and blood body.
Falling from such a height in this situation... one could imagine the outcome.
Magneto wiped the warm liquid splashed on his face with somewhat stiff movements, his body feeling as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. At this moment, he finally realized what an incredible figure he had provoked.
But everything, clearly, was already too late. Having dealt with Angel, Peter slowly turned back, his gaze locked onto Magneto.
"I admit, your control over magnetic fields really has some skill to it, but..."
The moment his voice fell, Peter suddenly opened his right hand, and a ball of incredibly intense lightning suddenly lit up in his palm!
Chirp, chirp, chirp~ Accompanied by the screeching sound resembling Chidori, Peter's calm voice rang in Magneto's ear: "When I bring out electromagnetic force, how will you respond, Your Excellency?"
