Chapter 1056: Magneto Is Stunned, Lorna Is My Daughter? (Second update, please subscribe!)

Conversely, Polaris.

Although her starting point was lower than Erik's, she had been using and exercising her ability continuously for twenty years; even if she were stupid, she should have improved, right?

Moreover, she wasn't stupid, and her talent and potential weren't bad either.

One standing still, one moving forward continuously—with the ebb and flow, Polaris was no longer weaker than Erik, and was even stronger than Erik in controlling her ability.

After all, she had been by Su Quan's side, occasionally having a weakening aura or an amplification aura applied to her; the changes in the strength of her ability made her control stronger and more comfortable.

If it were in an environment full of metal, Polaris could win even more easily!

"Hum!"

"Hum!"

The blue-green magnetic light seemed to split the prison cell in two.

Just looking at the light, there was more blue light and less green light, and the blue light was pressing toward the green light little by little.

But looking at the result, it was exactly the opposite.

The more blue light there was, the further the metal piece being fought over was from Erik; the less green light there was, the closer the metal piece was to Polaris.

At this moment, Erik had both hands aimed at the metal piece, the veins on his neck bulging, the muscles on his face twitching, staring dead at the target.

Not only were his eyes red, but tears were also flowing out uncontrollably.

He was using his sadness and anger to enhance his ability.

This was a little trick he had learned under Professor Charles's guidance!

His sudden burst made the metal piece near Polaris fly over rapidly.

Polaris increased her output immediately, stabilized the metal piece, and then discovered that Erik was actually crying.

Crying?

Is it necessary?

Besides, what do you have to cry about? Although you're locked here, you have food and drink, and you're safe and sound.

What about me?

I've had no parents since I was a child, and when I finally grew up, my mutant gene awakened, inheriting your ability, but I became a freak who was discriminated against and isolated.

Even though you were still alive, you refused to admit you were my father, and even refused to meet me.

And you have the nerve to cry?!

The more Polaris thought about it, the angrier and more furious she became. Although she knew the Erik in front of her was just her father's doppelgänger, her manic-depressive emotions were already out of control.

"Ah..." With a roar, manic magnetic energy erupted from her body.

She kept one hand still, continuing to control the metal piece, while the other hand pushed forcefully toward Erik through the air.

Erik hurriedly tried to block, but the power of Polaris's burst was too violent; his magnetic energy was defeated as soon as it was mobilized.

"Bang!"

Erik flew out and hit the wall heavily.

"Snap!"

The metal piece in mid-air fell into Lorna's hand with a *whoosh*. Lorna gripped it tightly, panting heavily, her eyes fixed on Erik as they gradually calmed down.

Erik, who had slumped against the wall, grinned slightly, feeling somewhat incredulous and somewhat disheartened.

He could accept that Su Quan was stronger than him with the same ability.

After all, Su Quan wasn't human; any one of the many abilities he mastered was stronger than any mutant possessing a similar ability.

Whether it was himself or Charles, their signature abilities couldn't compare to Su Quan's.

But this woman named Lorna was actually stronger than him, which was a huge blow to Erik, who had always been conceited.

"It's not shameful to lose to her," Professor Charles came to Erik and teased him with a mocking tone.

Erik frowned and stood up, looking at Professor Charles, who was walking freely: "Your injuries are healed."

"Yeah, I traded my life for it," Professor Charles said with a smile.

This wasn't a joke at all; it was indeed traded for his life.

If he hadn't died once, he would still be sitting in that wheelchair.

Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, Erik's familiarity and understanding of Charles hadn't diminished at all.

Some people, even if they have known each other for a thousand years, cannot become friends; while others, at just a glance, can become friends who entrust each other with their lives.

Erik and Charles were like this; even if they were enemies, it was because their philosophies didn't match, not because of hatred, and they would never truly kill each other!
