Chapter 575: Magneto is stunned: Lorna is my daughter? (Second update, please subscribe!)

Looking at Polaris.

Although her starting point was lower than Erik's, she has been using and training her abilities without interruption for the past twenty years; even if she were dull, she should have improved, right?

Moreover, she is not dull, and her talent and potential are not bad.

One standing still, the other moving forward—with the rise of one and the fall of the other, Polaris is no longer weaker than Erik, and in terms of ability control, she is already stronger than him.

After all, she has been by Su Quan's side, occasionally having a weakening or amplification aura cast on her; the changes in the strength of her abilities have made her control stronger and more effortless.

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

"Hum!"

"Hum!"

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

Looking only at the light, there is more blue than green, and the blue light is pressing toward the green light bit by bit.

But the result is exactly the opposite.

The more blue light there is, the further the metal shards being contested are from Erik; the less green light there is, the closer the metal shards are to Polaris.

At this moment, Erik has both hands aimed at the metal shards, the veins on his neck bulging, the muscles on his face twitching, staring fixedly at the target.

Not only are his eyes bloodshot, but clear tears are also flowing out uncontrollably.

He is using feelings of sadness and anger to enhance his abilities.

This is a little trick he learned under the guidance of Professor Charles!

His sudden outburst caused the metal shards near Polaris to fly over rapidly.

Polaris increased her output immediately, stabilizing the metal shards, and then discovered that Erik was actually covered in tears.

Crying, he's crying?

Is it really that serious?

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

What about me?

I've had no parents since I was little. When I finally grew up and my mutant gene awakened, I inherited your abilities, only to become a freak who is discriminated against and isolated.

Even though you are still alive, you refuse to admit you are my father, and you refuse to even meet me.

How dare you cry?!

The more Polaris thought about it, the angrier and more furious she became. Although she knew the Erik in front of her was only her father's double, 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 shards, while using her other hand to push forcefully through the air toward Erik.

Erik hurriedly tried to resist, but the power of Polaris's outburst was too violent; his magnetic energy was shattered the moment he mobilized it.

"Bang!"

Erik flew out and slammed heavily against the wall.

"Clap!"

The metal shards in mid-air swooshed into Lorna's hand. Lorna gripped them tightly, panting heavily, her eyes fixed on Erik as her gaze gradually calmed down.

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

That Su Quan is stronger than him with the same ability, he can accept.

After all, Su Quan is not human; any one of the many abilities he possesses, if picked at random, is stronger than that of a mutant with a similar ability.

Whether it's himself or Charles, their respective signature abilities cannot compare to Su Quan's.

But this woman named Lorna is actually stronger than him too, which was a huge blow to the always conceited Erik.

"It's no shame to lose to her," Professor Charles said, walking up to Erik with a teasing expression.

Erik frowned as he stood up, looking at the walking Professor Charles: "Your injury is healed."

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

This sentence was no joke; it was truly 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 had not diminished in the slightest.

Some people, even after knowing each other for a thousand years, cannot become friends; while others, at just a single glance, can become friends who would entrust their lives to one another.

Erik and Charles are like this; even if they are enemies, it is only because of conflicting ideologies, not hatred, and they would never truly kill each other!

Charles's reaction made Erik feel that something was wrong.

How should he put it? After going their separate ways for so many years, it would be normal to argue, curse, or try to persuade each other upon meeting.

But teasing and acting as if he were watching a spectacle was not right.

Even if he was defeated by Lorna, it shouldn't be considered a joke or a spectacle, right?

And what did he mean just now when he said it was no shame to lose to Lorna?

Could it be that this Lorna has some special identity, and it's related to him?

Erik subconsciously looked at Lorna and found that Lorna was looking at him with a gaze he couldn't understand.

In this gaze, there was disappointment, anger, and resentment—

Ultimately, it turned into relief.

"My name is Lorna Dane. I was raised by my aunt since I was little. My father's name is... Magneto!"

Polaris looked at Erik while pulling the deep purple metal shards into a uniquely shaped headband.

"Master, can you help me change the color?" Polaris looked at Su Quan and smiled sweetly.

Such a small matter was just a thought for Su Quan, who could alter reality.

In the blink of an eye, the headband turned green without warning and was then worn by Polaris on her head.

"Impossible... this is impossible... You say your father is Magneto? I... how do I have no memory of this at all!"

Your father is Magneto?

I am your father?

You are my daughter?

Erik was stunned, completely and utterly stunned.

Looking at your age, chronologically, it should have been before I went to prison, right?

If you were my daughter, how could I not know, and how could I have given you to your aunt to raise?

But Charles wouldn't make such a joke, and Su Quan wouldn't use this as a prank; their reactions clearly confirmed that Lorna is his daughter.

That's why Su Quan suddenly brought them to see him, and why Charles said it was no shame to lose to Lorna!

The most important thing is Lorna's ability.

Previously, he hadn't thought much about it; after all, Su Quan also has the same ability, so having one more person like Lorna wasn't impossible.

But now...

Isn't this just heredity?

Lorna inherited his abilities!

The sudden, inexplicable appearance of a daughter he had no memory of made Erik feel absurd, but amidst the absurdity, he vaguely began to believe it.

After all, there was so much evidence here, and he wasn't exactly a chaste, pure man; it was possible he really did have a daughter he didn't know about, right?

"You... are you really my daughter?" Erik asked, feeling somewhat at a loss.

"No."

Polaris shook her head.

"No, you're not?!!!"

Erik became a bit anxious: "Didn't you say your father is Magneto? I am Magneto, you... how can you say you aren't my daughter?"
