I'm a bit late because I was working overtime. I only saved one chapter, sorry!

Magneto and the X-Men finally met, and a fierce battle ensued in the suburbs of Cambrian capital.

Adam slammed his right fist into the wreckage of the car hurtling towards him, and said calmly, "Magneto, surrender. You're no match for me!"

Upon hearing this, Magneto said, "Hmph, you want me to surrender? You're dreaming!" With that, he waved his hand and several steel beads instantly turned into steel needles, which flew towards Adam at extremely tricky angles.

Adam simply watched indifferently, completely unconcerned about the steel needles flying towards him. His physical strength was now many times greater than before, and he was not afraid of the attacks from these steel needles at all.

Magneto, controlling the steel needles, watched Adam's nonchalant expression and, enraged, unleashed a barrage of needles aimed at Adam's ears and eyes. However, he clearly underestimated Adam's defensive capabilities; the needles were blocked by Adam's powerful steel body the moment they made contact.

Adam laughed, "Heh heh, your abilities are completely useless against me. It seems you won't surrender unless I use force." With that, he moved with incredible speed, breaking the sound barrier, and arrived in front of Magneto, reaching out to grab him.

However, Adam clearly underestimated the old man. Although the old man was controlling the metal, his true ability was to control magnetic fields. As soon as Adam moved, the magnetic field surrounding Magneto sensed his movement. Just as Adam was about to grab Magneto, Magneto barely dodged Adam's attack.

Adam watched Magneto retreat rapidly and said calmly, "It seems I really underestimated you!"

Magneto chuckled coldly and said, "You don't think I can only control metal, do you? Hmph, you should remember my name! I'm called Magneto, not Magneto the Metal King or Magneto the Iron King. What I can control is magnetic fields!"

After Magneto finished speaking, he opened his right palm and pointed it at Adam. Adam was taken aback and immediately tried to dodge the potential attack, since Magneto must have some tricks up his sleeve. A reputation is never undeserved.

But the expected attack did not come. Just as Adam was wondering if Magneto was fooling him, he realized that everyone around him was lying on the ground, their bodies red and convulsing.

Adam was immediately startled and asked, "What exactly did you do?"

Magneto looked at Adam with some surprise and said, "You really are something else, huh? Heh, can't you guess what I just did?"

Adam frowned and said, "You changed the frequency of the magnetic field?"

Magneto laughed and said, "That's right. I can not only use magnetic fields to control metal, but I can also change the frequency of magnetic fields to affect other people's bodies. The magnetic fields around them have been altered into chaotic magnetic fields by me, which is why this situation has occurred!"

Adam snorted coldly and said, "Unfortunately, your ability is to not distinguish between friend and foe!"

Magneto's smile faded, and he said, "That's right, I can't really control this ability, so I don't usually use it easily. But now I have to use it because I'm no match for you, and the people here combined are no match for you either, but they can just be used as leverage to make you not dare to act rashly."

Adam frowned slightly and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Magneto said calmly, "Leave this country with the X-Men!"

Upon hearing this, Adam said, "That's impossible. We must let you leave this country, or all the people in this country will die."

Magneto said, "I can make those ordinary humans leave! I just want to establish a nation for mutants."

Adam shook his head. He said, "That's impossible. Actually, I said before that I also agreed to let you establish a country, but we're both wrong. We underestimated the ruthlessness of those dirty people. They won't give you this opportunity. Even if they did, you can't establish a country, because if you do, you'll be a sinner against mutants!"

Magneto asked, puzzled, "What? I'll become a sinner against mutants? Hmph, what do you mean by that?"

Adam continued, "You may not know this, but because you attacked this country, those filthy people were afraid that you would gather powerful mutants and eventually threaten their rights, so they decided to drop a nuclear bomb on this country!"

Upon hearing this, Magneto said, "That's impossible. Have they forgotten the international regulations?"

Adam shrugged and said, "If you say you're mutants, then you're standing against all of humanity right now. That's why I don't approve of you establishing a nation. If your mutant nation were established, what awaits these mutants wouldn't be tolerance and respect, but one or two nuclear bombs, because opportunities for mutants to gather together on such a large scale are extremely rare."

Magneto was shocked upon hearing this and exclaimed, "I almost made a fatal mistake!"

Adam nodded and said, "That's right. You almost burned everything you and Professor X had protected for a lifetime. The reason these people can't target mutants now is because they're afraid of retaliation from those once-famous mutants, and also because there are so many mutants that they can't distinguish them all. But it'll be different if you establish a nation. They might acknowledge your legitimacy in the early stages, but once you think you can live safely and freely in this world, they'll bare their fangs and tear you apart!"

Magneto fell silent after hearing Adam's words. He recalled some powerful mutant predecessors he had met before, and the way they looked at him when he invited them to join the Brotherhood, and the words they said when they refused. This world is ultimately a human world, and violence is not a good way for mutants to live in this world.

However, the hot-blooded Magneto ignored these well-intentioned suggestions, believing that these old guys had lived too long, had lost their youthful vigor and impulsiveness, and were just a group of ordinary people waiting to die.

Magneto, after hearing Adam's words, finally understood the good intentions of his predecessors, but it was too late. He had gone too far down this path to turn back.

Magneto sighed softly and said, "Alright, I will leave this country, but I will take my men with me. I cannot leave them in the hands of the government. They will likely be sent to the laboratory, which I will not allow under any circumstances."

After hearing this, Adam said, "Okay, but there are a few people you must leave behind. You must leave Saint Icon and Toad behind. We need to give those people an explanation. Besides, these two have killed hundreds of people before. They need to be punished by law."

Magneto laughed and said, "Legal punishment? What about me? I've killed plenty of people too!"

Adam said calmly, "Don't worry, I will personally bring you to justice one day. This time it was just a draw. If they weren't in your hands, I would never have let you leave here."

Magneto smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, then I'll be waiting."

Adam glanced at Magneto and said, "Alright, let them go quickly. Although they are not in any immediate danger, this kind of chaotic magnetic field is always harmful to humans."

After hearing this, Magneto said calmly, "Fine, I'll believe you for a while today!" He then waved his hand and restored the magnetic field.

Although the magnetic field had been restored, everyone except the two on either the X-Men's or Magneto's side had lost their ability to move. Upon seeing this, Magneto frowned slightly, waved his hand, pulled out a long steel bar from the side, tied up the mutants, and then controlled them to slowly leave.

Adam glanced at Magneto as he walked away, shook his head slightly in one direction, and then went to Logan's side to check on the others. Meanwhile, Magneto, who had already walked a distance, paused, lowered his arm as if about to move, and continued walking outside with a slight smile.

On a tall building not far from them, Natasha lowered her sniper rifle after seeing Adam's actions. Then she heard the steel spikes fall to the ground with a clatter. She shuddered and realized that Adam had just saved her life. She breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sweet warmth in her heart. It seemed that Adam wasn't completely indifferent to her after all.

Alright, to all you friends who kept complaining that the protagonist couldn't fly, he's started flying now!!!

Magneto and Adam both planned to attack each other at 6 PM, but they encountered each other on the way and a fierce battle ensued. The battle lasted for a long time, from 6 PM to around 10 PM. Then, Adam and Magneto officially clashed. After a struggle, Magneto was no match for Adam and finally used an indiscriminate attack that hit both sides simultaneously. Seeing this, Adam had no choice but to let Magneto go in order to rescue the X-Men and the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

After Magneto left, Adam came to Logan's side and asked, "Logan, are you alright?"

Logan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, hahaha. I never thought that someone as immortal as me would one day experience the taste of near death. It's really not pleasant."

Adam sighed after looking at it and said, "Alright, now that you've recovered, help me move these people into their rooms. They don't have your recovery ability, and they might need a few more days to fully recover."

Logan stood up and said, "Okay, I'll help you!" Then he and Adam carried the Cyclops and the others who had been knocked to the ground into a room.

Just then, Natasha walked over from a distance, looked at Adam, and said, "Thank you for protecting me just now."

Adam shook his head and said, "I just don't want anyone to die in front of me. Okay, has the signal jammer been destroyed?"

Natasha nodded and said, "Yes, it's been destroyed. Should I contact headquarters?"

Adam nodded and said, "Make contact. I've already left a few people for you with Magneto. You can use these people to pay for their crimes; they all deserve what they got. Then send a transport plane over as soon as possible. Although the consequences will be severe if these people don't receive timely treatment."

Natasha nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact them right away." Then she contacted Nick Fury directly from next to Adam.

"Natasha, how are things going on your end?" Nick Fury's voice sounded tired.

Natasha looked puzzled and asked, "The mission is complete. But Magneto and Mystique escaped, and we captured a few mutants here. What's wrong with you?" She knew Nick Fury wasn't usually like this; he always had an overly calm and aloof demeanor, as if he didn't care about anything.

Nick Fury sighed softly after hearing this and said, "In that case, you should come back quickly. Something urgent has happened in New York, and I need your help."

Natasha asked after hearing this, "But what about here? There are many wounded here who need treatment."

Nick Fury explained, “Alright. Natasha, you can leave that to Coulson. Things are more serious here in New York. The Howards are dead. They died in a car accident this afternoon. I need you to come over and investigate this matter thoroughly.”

Before Nick Fury could finish speaking, Adam snatched the phone from Natasha's lips, his voice trembling with fear and uncertainty. "What did you say? The Howards were in a car accident?" he asked.

After hearing this, Nick Fury asked, "Who are you? Why do you have Natasha's communicator?"

Adam roared, "Tell me! Tell me what happened to the Howards!"

Nick Fury seemed to realize something. He said, "They were in a car accident at noon today. When the ambulance arrived, the Howards and their butler were already dead. You can find out this with a little research."

Adam stared blankly at the communicator, exclaiming, "How is this possible? How is this possible?! Are you lying to me? Tell me!"

Nick Fury shook his head and said, "I have no reason to lie to you, and I don't even know who you are."

Before Nick Fury could finish speaking, Natasha snatched the communicator and turned it off.

After seeing this, Adam yelled at Natasha, "What are you doing?"

Natasha gently hugged Adam and said, "Adam, I know you're feeling bad right now, but if you keep asking, Nick Fury will guess your identity."

Tears streamed down Adam's face as he croaked, "My parents are gone, I have nothing left! What's the point of hiding my identity? Hahahaha, what kind of superhero am I now? I couldn't even save my parents!"

Natasha slapped Adam across the face after reading it, saying, "Have you forgotten your brother? Have you forgotten your girlfriend? Your brother needs your comfort right now. Do you want to stay here crying forever? You still have your brother, your girlfriend, and you still have me!"

Adam paused after hearing this, then said, "That's right, I still have Tony. Yes, yes, I still have Tony." After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and opened the link with Athena.

Because there was no interference, the moment Adam made contact with Athena, her figure appeared before him, anxiously saying, "Master, you've finally opened the link! I was so worried!"

Adam looked at Athena and asked, "Athena, tell me, my parents are still alive, aren't they? This is all just a show put on by S.H.I.E.L.D., isn't it?"

Athena paused after hearing this and said, "Master, please accept my condolences. Your parents did indeed pass away at noon today!"

He knelt on the ground with a thud. His last vestige of hope had been extinguished by Athena; his parents were gone. The parents who had always guided him through life, the parents who had always looked upon him with loving eyes, who had supported him no matter what he did—they were gone.

"Ah ...

Just then, Athena said anxiously, "Master, please come back quickly! They are preparing to bury your parents. If you don't come back soon, you won't even be able to see them one last time. And little Tony has been looking for you. Please come back quickly, Master."

Adam was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said, "That's right, I can't not even see my parents one last time!" After saying that, he stood up listlessly and wanted to walk out.

Natasha quickly went over after seeing this and said, "Adam, wait, our transport plane is almost here, we'll take you there!"

Adam's eyes were lifeless. He shook his head and said, "No, I can't be late. I can't miss seeing my parents one last time. Tony, wait for me!" Then he suddenly disappeared.

After calling out a few times from behind, Natasha sighed softly and went into the house.

Logan walked over and asked, "What happened? Where's Adam?"

Natasha wiped away her tears and said, "His parents died in a car accident today, but he rescued them after hearing the news."

Logan opened his mouth, then sighed softly without saying anything, silently praying, "I hope you can get through this, kid. I don't want to lose you as a friend!"

On the other side, Adam ran desperately, his speed increasing rapidly, far exceeding his previous pace. But Adam was far from satisfied; he wanted to go even faster.

The cold night wind seemed to clear his head a little, and he commanded, "Athena, calculate my speed, then tell me the shortest route to New York."

Athena had asked Adam to return by plane, not by running. After all, although Adam was incredibly fast, the distance between Africa and New York couldn't be covered by running, and she was somewhat worried about him.

"Master, we can't keep running like this."

Adam replied coldly, "Tell me the route, Athena!"

Athena said somewhat aggrievedly, "Alright, Master, this is the shortest route, but you need to cross the ocean. What are you going to do?"

After hearing this, Adam said very seriously, "If I'm fast enough, I can even cross the ocean!"

These were memories that had just flashed through his mind. It seemed that the person known as the Flash in his memory could walk on buildings or water at super speeds. Although he did not possess the speed of the Flash in his memory, Adam had no choice but to give it a try.

Athena could no longer stop Adam, but she had just calculated that, theoretically, the proposition was indeed valid. However, she was a little worried about Adam's speed. Was this really possible?

But Adam had no time for testing; he just wanted to get back to New York as soon as possible, to see his parents again, and to investigate the whole incident to see if the car accident was intentional.
