Magneto collected all the rifles that had fired and not fired, stacked them densely together, and built a wall of guns and shields. He then continued to tear off the nearby iron sheets to increase the thickness of the shield.
The next moment, dense plasma cannons blasted from one side of the train!
The Diberi people's single-person assault boats finally took advantage of their superior technology over Earth's and bombarded the rear section of the train from the air!
In order to transport prisoners and prevent mutants from hijacking them, the train's protective armor had been reinforced, but it was still vulnerable to the artillery fire of the DeBerry assault boat.
Even the shield that Magneto managed to hold up couldn't withstand much of the plasma cannon's attack. He had to continuously increase the thickness of the shield to compensate for the damaged parts and maintain its defensive effect.
Being used as a human shield by the Beast, Joker Chao looked at Magneto helplessly and said, "Well, do you want me to remind you? This is a high-temperature plasma cannon that gathers a huge amount of electrical energy. It has no physical body, and in theory, it can be deflected by magnetic fields."
Magneto understood it immediately and changed his defense method. He no longer controlled the metal to form a shield, but instead supported an invisible and powerful magnetic field.
Once the plasma cannon touches the edge of Magneto's magnetic field, it will instantly accelerate, but its direction will change and shoot towards other places.
Doing this will undoubtedly save a lot of effort, and there is no need to worry about insufficient materials.
It can be said that any other form of high-tech weapon used by the Dibéri would not be so easily restrained. However, the plasma cannon happened to be within the jurisdiction of Magneto.
With Magneto as the most powerful shield, and the previous battle where both sides worked together to dismantle the iron sheets of the carriages, now, apart from the train platform remaining largely intact, their vision is very wide.
Cyclops and Storm saw the opportunity and started shooting birds from a distance. However, facing the alien aircraft at night, their accuracy and effectiveness were not very good.
Meanwhile, the clown, who had also hidden behind the magnetic shield, pulled out a lollipop he'd hidden somewhere and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling something vaguely about low blood sugar, dizziness, and lack of energy.
Nightcrawler shouted in fear, "Didn't the aliens realize their attacks were ineffective? Why don't they retreat?"
Although the beast had left its human form, its intelligent brain remained intact. As soon as he took in the situation, he understood the enemy's intentions and said, "We're being pinned down. The plasma cannon can still be used against the rest of the train."
"They used their aircraft to bombard us simply to confirm that Jean wasn't in the rear section of the train. Whether they managed to blow us up or disconnect us from the front section, it would be considered a tactical success."
"So, Eric, we can't stay here. We have to move forward and defend the car where Jean is. If we get disconnected, it will be almost impossible to catch up with the train."
Magneto made a quick decision and said only one word: "Go!" The group started moving, including the surviving American soldiers.
Even the passage doors between the trains were not bothered to open. They simply let Cyclops blast the doors open before filing in.
Every time they abandoned a train car, it would be destroyed by concentrated artillery fire. It wasn't that the aliens were so cooperative, but the train cars, without the protection of Magneto's magnetic field shield, could not withstand the concentrated artillery fire.
The American soldiers who gathered along the way were the most panicked group. They were either supporting unconscious comrades or holding completely useless rifles, just to seek peace of mind.
Whether the enemy was a mutant or an alien was no longer a point in discussion. If they still couldn't tell, then their eyes and brains would be wasted.
When the group entered a relatively intact carriage, the alien attack seemed to end only in the previous carriage.
Because it was dark and they were on a speeding train, most people could not see any trace of the alien spacecraft and thought they had left.
But the Joker could clearly see that more than a dozen shuttle-shaped, fully covered aircraft were flying alongside the train. Their design was completely different from the flying motorcycles used by the invading Chitauri in the later Battle of New York.
Precisely because of its rather small size, there aren't many types of weapons to choose from, so it uses plasma cannons to attack from beginning to end.
The reason they stopped attacking was simple: everyone had already retreated to the carriage near Jean Grey. Perhaps the aliens couldn't guarantee their accuracy, like a scalpel, leaving Jean alone while sending everyone else flying.
Of course, the cessation of the alien spacecraft's attack did not mean that their actions had ceased. It only meant that another wave of attacks was brewing.
Everyone understood this and began to prepare.
A soldier opened the door to the passage, and the next car was indeed where Jean Grey was being held. Besides Professor X, there were only a few soldiers left to help defend it. The moment the door opened, they were startled and nearly fired a barrage of bullets.
The section they were in was specifically for transporting weapons. Nearly a hundred loaded firearms were neatly arranged on the gun cabinets on both sides.
The mutants and soldiers, who were not good at close combat, all equipped themselves with firearms. Unfortunately, the weapons on the train were mainly designed to target mutants and were not strong enough to fight aliens, but there was no better choice.
There were two heavy machine guns, with their ammunition belt boxes hanging nearby. However, these weren't meant for individual use; without a mount, few could properly fire them. Therefore, the only two effective weapons remained on the weapon rack.
Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Magneto instructed: "All of you go to the next car and help defend it. Have Charles speed up and wake up Jean. Then find a way to leave."
Everyone followed suit and entered the last defensive carriage. However, Magneto grabbed the Joker, who was hiding in the crowd and about to sneak into another carriage, and said to him, "Stay here with me."
Chapter 169: Duel with Wu Ke
After several actions of the beast, Magneto also knew how to use this person. Anyway, just throw him into the place where there are many people, and this clown will naturally make the enemy into chaos.
If I had kept him around, it would have been my own people who would have been in a mess. The reason he hadn't had an attack before was probably... the good luck brought by the lollipop in his mouth.
God bless lollipops.
The Joker didn't protest being forced to stay. He simply spit out the lollipop in his mouth and made a magical gesture in front of Magneto, muttering, "You can't see me, you can't see me."
Then he moved stealthily to another carriage.
Magneto didn't bother to waste time talking to this guy and just clenched his fist! Under his control, several iron sheets sealed the only door, completely separating the two carriages.
Seeing the road blocked, the sulking Joker put his hands in his pockets, shrugged his shoulders, lowered his head, and duck-stepped to the heavy machine gun. He began to figure out how to hang the belt box on the machine gun, then load, chamber, and shoot.
This was the only toy in this carriage that interested him. He had used pistols and rifles (!?), but not a heavy machine gun, so he had to take this opportunity to try some meat.
Magneto used his power to control all the remaining firearms in one go, forming a gun array. Even the remaining heavy machine gun was commandeered by Magneto's power.
This scene makes the Joker want to complain! We all know that rifle bullets are useless, so why bother with so many of them? What's the point?
It would be better to research how to use electromagnetic force to propel bullets and create a powerful version of the Gauss rifle. As long as the initial velocity is fast enough, it can still hurt the Diberi people.
This suggests that this version of Magneto lacks scientific expertise, being more of a craftsman and action-oriented figure. While his use of his mutant powers is masterful, their expanded uses are somewhat monotonous. He's not quite as powerful as he would later be, lifting the Golden Gate Bridge.
But it must be said that the aura of "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Their Origin" was quite strong. Hundreds of rifles were tightly packed together, with pistols filling the gaps above, below, and to the left and right. Any normal person would be terrified.
Unfortunately, the opponent is not a normal person, but an alien, an alien who has absorbed part of the power of the Phoenix.
The leader of the Diberi, Vuko, was standing on their own personal flying machine and flew towards the train. In a dive, Vuko jumped forward, accurately passed through the passage door, and jumped into the car that Magneto and the Joker were super defensive.
As soon as he landed, he was greeted by Magneto's passionate welcome ceremony of firing a volley of bullets, even firing at close range. The heavy machine gun also let out a roar like a gust of wind, firing 12.7x99 large-caliber ammunition into the alien's body.
If the opponent was one of those ordinary aliens, this welcoming display would have been enough to defeat dozens of them. But Magneto recognized the alien disguised as a woman; he was the one who had been with Jean.
Combined with what Professor X said, this guy should be the leader of the aliens. No matter if it's right or wrong, useful or not, kill him first!
But Wu Ke, having absorbed some of the Phoenix's power, was no match for rifles or machine guns. The barrage of bullets merely chipped away at his camouflage. He walked forward under the hail of bullets, unfazed.
All the rifles quickly emptied their magazines, leaving only the machine guns with ammunition belt boxes standing firm, but their firepower couldn't last long. Although Magneto used cutting and piercing attacks with iron sheets and bars during the attack, it was also ineffective.
He glanced at the clown Chao, who was still fiddling with the belt and couldn't even figure out how to load the gun, and yelled, "Kid, you better be serious! The enemy is about to kill you."
The irritated Joker simply threw up his hands and gave up. He picked up the open ammunition box and smashed it out; even the heavy machine gun had the same fate, hitting the alien leader Wu Ke in the face.
Such an action, of course, wouldn't cause any harm. The Joker spread his hands and said, "The result will be the same as yours anyway, so why would I bother shooting?"
Under Magneto's surprised and dead-on gaze, the Joker picked up an empty rifle. Holding it sideways, with the same smell, he caressed the gun obscenely and said, "I'm still used to doing this, destroying... well, N+1 lives."
As he said this, he swung his rifle as a fire poker, ready to hit Wu Ke in the face with the butt of the rifle.
Unexpectedly, he offered his face to the man, and Wu Ke, who was close to him, swung a fist with all his strength and knocked the man away!
The clown Chao flew out of the train car backwards, vaguely shouting: "You have no martial ethics! I used weapons, and you actually used your fists!"
Well, it turns out that this is a comrade who can't help at all. Magneto felt resentful and thought that he should let the woman who was not present see the character of the helper he specifically asked for.
Magneto, having expended all his ammunition, had bullet casings covering the ground like a carpet. He could only revert to his original method, tearing apart the iron sheets of the train car, creating countless sharp parts that formed like a whirlpool, aiming to strangle the aliens walking in the middle.
But just before the spikes touched his body, all the attacks were blocked, unable to advance an inch. He had experienced this kind of power disparity before with Qin.
This wasn't a contest of power between telekinesis and magnetic control, but rather a higher-level force that crushed everything beneath it. He could only struggle to hold on.
Finally, Wu Ke waved his hand and sent Magneto flying against the wall, knocking him unconscious. Even the metal objects controlled by the magnetism fell heavily and piled up on Magneto's body.
At this point, the path to the final carriage was clear. Wu Ke moved his mind, and all the iron sheets and blocks blocking the passage door, including the door itself, flew toward the other end of the carriage, knocking down many unfortunate people.
Everyone looked at the female alien as if they were facing a great enemy, as she passed through the carriage guarded by Magneto and the Joker and rushed towards them.
His face didn't have many human expressions, but was rather cold, as if he couldn't laugh or cry, as if he was wearing a mask.
Wu Ke spoke for the first time, addressing the humans present: "Hand over that girl, and I will spare your lives. Or at least, you don't have to die now."
If only the first sentence were known, and the aliens' true purpose was unknown, some might still harbor hope. But Wu Ke has completely blocked his own path, and the human side, whether mutants or American soldiers, has no choice but to fight to the death.
The battle between the two sides started instantly!
Under the cover of the American soldiers' barrage of bullets, the mutants rushed to the front.
Perhaps because there were so many people, Wu Ke couldn't control them all at once. He could only knock them away one by one, and repel them one by one, until there was no one left standing in his sight.
And all this took only a few breaths.
But fortunately, Wu Ke is not yet familiar with using the power of the Phoenix, otherwise it would not be so troublesome.
Chapter 170 Phoenix Girl Awakens
The communication of the soul is just like the oriental idiom "a dream of a yellow millet". What seems to be a moment in the eyes of outsiders may have revolved thousands of times in the consciousness.
It's said sincerity is the most moving thing. Professor X, opening his heart, finally made Jean Grey appreciate his good intentions, understand the whole story, and even understand the purpose the alien leader casually revealed when he was unconscious after his powers were drained.
Especially the last one!
He didn't mind giving up power that didn't belong to him to help the homeless aliens rebuild their home, but the price couldn't be the Earth, the place where he grew up, and all the lives on Earth in exchange for the aliens' new home.
So he must resist, as an X-Man, Jean Grey.
Awakening from the slumber of escaping life, Jean Grey opened her eyes. Although the other mutants were liberated, the device that suppressed her X gene had never stopped.
However, the power he was using now was not purely from the X gene, so the limiter had no effect and was simply turned into ashes.
Jean Grey controlled her body and floated into the air, looking down at everyone with a godlike presence. Her expression was blank, except for her eyes, which seemed resolute and bright.
Wu Ke looked at the awakened Qin and simply said, "You promised to transfer all your power to me."
"Yes, I did agree before I knew your plan. But why do you think I would agree to something like this when you're going to destroy the Earth as a prerequisite?"
"Then I can only take it myself. The result will be no different." Wu Ke spoke coldly as if he was stating a fact.
The clash between two vessels of the Phoenix Force was a trivial matter for them, but to the outside world it was no less than a world-shaking event.
No one knows how much of the Phoenix force Wu Ke has absorbed, or rather, whether it makes sense to distribute this force in proportion.
However, the fact is that the leader of the Diberry, Vuko, did rely on the power of the Phoenix to gain some additional abilities, but they were completely inferior to Jean Grey, who had just awakened and began to influence the real dimension.
Under Qin's influence, the moving train left the tracks and spun in the air like a twisted dough stick. The torn iron sheets stretched out like tentacles, piercing the DeBerry aircraft cruising nearby.
Wu Ke, trapped within it, was similarly twisted like a rag, his entire body twisted and deformed. Only the mutants and human soldiers were protected, all enveloped in a foamy bubble, isolated from the swirling, twisting world.
All aircraft within a certain range were destroyed without exception. Even those Diberi who got too close and tried to get back on the train were pierced by the extended iron tentacles and lost their lives.
Only Wu Ke, who was twisted into a pretzel, did not die. He remained conscious and began to contact the mothership stranded in low Earth orbit.
The DeBerry battleship swiftly broke through the atmosphere and reached the air above the battle site. Immediately, a single naval gunfire blasted through the air, likely covering a radius of several hundred meters. Not only did it destroy the train, but it also left severe burn marks in the area.
The train was only rotten, not completely vaporized, because it was protected by Jean's power. The same was true for those he protected, all of them staying in that seemingly fragile bubble, safe and sound.
But withstanding a starship cannon attack was no easy task, especially for Jean, who was not yet familiar with utilizing the power within her body.
Although everyone was protected, they were still inevitably scattered by this attack, and even the protective barrier that was originally set up was broken.
The bushes ignited by the energy of the naval guns and the burning wreckage of the train provided lighting for the mutants and American soldiers at night.
Dibelsi soldiers gathered from all directions, and the single-person flying vehicles released from the air battleships again besieged the remaining humans.
Their mission was simple: kill everyone here, or at least find a way to contain them so their leader could face the target alone and capture the full cosmic ray energy.
Faced with the all-out attack of an entire battleship, both mutants and American soldiers were in danger.
They were just a bunch of poor infantrymen, and they were short on ammunition. But even if they had enough ammunition, it would not be enough to deal with the more technologically advanced Diberi weapons, and their integrated air-to-ground attack.
Being able to remain immortal while struggling to hold on was an exceptional feat for the mutants. Those American soldiers who were skilled at dealing with mutants were now nothing more than a burden, needing protection from others.
Wu Ke, who has returned to his original form, still uses a mimic human appearance and comes in front of Jean Grey.
The reason why human beings can hold on is due to the contribution of Jean, the master of telekinesis.
Even with his original form, he couldn't cover the entire area, but the Phoenix Force within him was simply too powerful. All Qin needed to do was get used to using this power and perform more precise operations.
After all, if he exerted too much effort, not only would he not be able to block attacks from both the air and the ground for humans, but humans themselves would also be affected and wiped out from reality.
So Jean Grey could only hold back to protect others, which is why others were still injured.
Wu Ke was here to disrupt this balance. Just as the Diberians conquered the universe, those who cherish their companions will inevitably despair when their companions die or are injured. This flaw in their hearts will become an opportunity for him to seize power.
So Wu Ke was not in a hurry, but instead approached Jean Grey step by step, who was preoccupied with herself, putting pressure on him.
The Diberi had both the advantage in manpower and tactics. Wu Ke believed they could resolve everything before reinforcements from the planet's natives arrived.
Because of the mental power amplified by the power of the Phoenix, Wu Ke can calculate what will happen next and seek the most advantageous approach.
But he had overlooked an existence, an existence that no one in this universe could understand, an existence that even the three ancient powers and the immortal phoenix had never encountered.
A Kryptonian with a yellow sun... psychopath.
