Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Although Matthew didn't say it explicitly, Reicher was very clear about the roles of the two major chapters.

They are both shields and blades; the sturdy shields can protect Matthew from all dangers, while the sharp blades can pierce through any enemy standing in front of him.

As a result, the shield was smashed to pieces, and the hilt of the sword was broken off.

“Big guy, you’re too greedy.” Nigley casually tore off a piece of paper and wiped the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth.

She glanced at Raiche: "How long have we been training?"

"Moreover, none of us are lazy; on the contrary, we train hard every day, and that's for no other reason than that."

"We need to become stronger, and that takes time."

To put it bluntly, compared to Magneto, the two warbands are just babies a few months old.

Achieving this much is already quite impressive.

Anyone else would have been overjoyed, but Reich looked dissatisfied. Nigley was too lazy to even comment on the guy.

Chapter 131 Glimpse into the Future: The Emperor Wearing a Crown (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

“Nigley is right, Rachel.”

At that moment, the crowd in the crowded ward parted to make way for Matthew.

"BOSS".

The crowd lowered their heads and called out respectfully.

"BOSS".

When the soldiers on their sickbeds saw Matthew arrive, they instinctively tried to get up, but Matthew waved them down.

A gentle force subdued the warriors.

Then, standing in front of Rachel's sickbed, he swept his gaze over everyone and said in a deep voice, "Each of you is outstanding, very excellent."

“What makes you outstanding is not just your loyalty, but also your perseverance and desire to become stronger.”

"From nothing to something, it took less than a year in total."

“Astartes and Raven, these are two banners. None of you have disgraced these two names by joining the warband.”

“Every day, I get up before dawn to start training, training until my physical strength is completely exhausted, even to the point of fainting.”

"What I see in you is a crazy amount of hard work."

Unlike Magneto's seductive speeches.

Matthew's speech was not passionate, but rather rather bland, but it was precisely this blandness that touched people's hearts.

In short, I, as the leader, have seen all your efforts.

That's what's most touching.

“You have been training under intense pressure day and night, and you have persevered. This perseverance has paid off.”

"The purpose of fighting Magneto is to help you grow through real combat, rather than negating your past efforts because of one failure."

“I am proud of you, and I believe that one day you will surpass Magneto, and even those so-called gods who are high above you.”

"Failure is never terrible. No one is immune to failure. Once you've tasted failure, remember it, and then erase it from your memory in the future."

The ward was very quiet, with only Matthew's voice echoing in my ears.

..........

On the beach in San Juan.

"Eric, how are you feeling?"

Professor X sat in his wheelchair, facing the night waves, the lights of the coastal highway providing some illumination.

Magneto was beside him.

Further away are Mystique, Sabretooth, and the X-Men.

They all looked this way.

“If you’re here to mock me, I don’t want to answer, Charles,” Magneto scoffed.

The sea breeze ruffled the cloak draped over his back.

This represents the turmoil in his emotions right now.

That's what they say, but Magneto knew that Professor X wasn't mocking him.

They've been rivals and friends for decades, and both sides know each other very well.

Magneto just couldn't resist wanting to provoke him.

This is also how the two usually get along.

So after his outburst, Magneto remained silent for a moment before continuing in a low voice, "I have never seen those people before."

"They have incredibly strong bodies, stronger than that brat at your school called Steel Man, only inferior to the Juggernaut."

"But they were numerous and formed an army."

"His combat techniques and methods are incredibly diverse and unique; I've never seen anything like them before."

Magneto doesn't need to recall it, because the shock and impact of that night were too profound for him.

He lowered his voice and emphasized at the end: "They are not mutants."

The last sentence is what Magneto truly wanted to say.

"That's right, they're not mutants." As an old friend, how could Professor X not know what Magneto was thinking?

In fact, he was thinking about it too.

They are not mutants, but they possess these abilities, and there are more than fifty of them. What does that mean?

It's absolutely terrifying to think about.

The kind that makes your scalp tingle just by thinking about it.

They didn't even want to believe it.

It was so shocking that they could even see a glimpse of the future.

A corner I can't even imagine.

Magneto felt a bit cold, wondering if it was because he was standing by the sea.

"Ha, I never imagined that there were other freaks in this world besides us, a bunch of terrifying freaks," Magneto chuckled self-deprecatingly.

He hates the word "freak" the most.

That's the word that humans, and his fellow humans, most like to use to describe him.

But now he's said it out loud.

“You know, Eric, the first time I saw that child was last November.”

Professor X did not respond to Magneto, but instead continued talking to himself.

This also caught Magneto's attention. He turned his head to look at Professor X's profile. The light from the streetlights in the distance illuminated a corner of his cheek, while the rest was shrouded in shadow.

“At that time, I was still teaching students at the school. That child found the school and found me.”

"He proposed a deal to me."

At this point, Professor X turned his head slightly and looked at Magneto: "I want Hank to develop a nutritional serum for him, one vial of which contains enough nutrients that even an elephant couldn't digest."

"The key asset is the Alkali Lake Dam site."

"So that's what he told you."

Magneto frowned.

He knew that Professor X had informed him of this, after learning that Professor X had rescued those innocent mutant compatriots from the dam, and about the shocking experimental data reports.

Therefore, Magneto did not hesitate to cooperate with Professor X in hunting down William Stryker.

He initially thought it was the result of an investigation by the X-Men.

I never expected it was that kid who told me.

“Yes, but he was very inexperienced back then and far less powerful than he is now. He was all alone. Do you know what that means, Eric?”

"Walter?"

Magneto's expression suddenly changed.

"Isn't it incredible? I think so too."

Professor X smiled helplessly.

"Less than a year?"

"Less than a year, at most two years." Professor X confirmed Magneto's guess.

"Damn it, how did that kid do that?"

Magneto was no longer shocked, but rather filled with fear.

No more than two years. What does that mean?

This means that the boy possesses the ability to mass-produce super soldiers that even he finds extremely troublesome.

Fifty?

I'm afraid the number is far more than that.

"What is that kid going to do?"

Magneto was truly chilled.

In a daze, he seemed to see himself surrounded by countless super soldiers.

A pair of merciless eyes were fixed on him.

Or rather, to look at the whole world.

“I don’t know, but I do know one thing, Eric: don’t try to find him or provoke him,” Professor X warned his old friend, issuing the most serious warning he had ever given.

"This will bring destruction to you, and even your entire race."

Magneto remained silent.

After a long silence, he spoke, but his voice was hoarse and weak: "Then what about all our previous efforts?"

“Maintaining your current relationship with him is enough, Eric, that’s crucial.”

"I don't think I'll have the courage to face him again."

Magneto's once straight body seemed to have bent slightly, and he looked much older.

Chapter 132 The World Destroyer in the Hands of Others (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Oh my god, what's wrong with you guys?"

Skye and Jessica skipped and hopped into the ward hand in hand, and were immediately stunned to see Rachel and the others wrapped in bandages on the hospital beds.

When they woke up, they heard that something big had happened the night before.

The squad leader, Reicher, led fifty super soldiers on some emergency mission.

As a result, more than twenty people were seriously injured upon their return, including Chapter Leader Reicher, Roseco, and Negri.

So the two girls hurriedly finished their breakfast and rushed over.

I initially thought it was a joke.

After all, Skye and Jessica witnessed firsthand the immense power displayed by Negri and Natasha in the Temple of Eternal Night.
