Boom! Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armed helicopters in the sky exploded one after another, turning into fiery blossoms of destruction before vanishing completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behemoth's most powerful aerial strike force was annihilated in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power George inherited from Magneto made him the nemesis of modern weaponry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without his mastery of countless spells and his strength approaching cosmic level, his control over metal alone was enough to toy with Behemoth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what modern heavy weapon didn't contain metal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"King! King! King!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the great hall behind him, the ordinary Nassen Guards and islanders erupted in cheers as they saw the terrifying armed helicopters obliterated by their new king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faith in the divine tree and their devotion to the King only grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ron, he must have the ability to control metal! Stop using modern weapons against him—send in the Hunting Squad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ron was paralyzed by George's overwhelming display, Gaide's voice came through the earpiece with a timely warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the battleship offshore, Gaide had been monitoring the entire fight. Together with the experts on board, he quickly analyzed the situation and reached the correct conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's it. Hyena, Explosive Man—his power is metal manipulation. Take him down. Capture him alive if possible. His ability is too valuable for research. The rest of you, provide support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Gaide's assessment, Ron's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The destruction of over a hundred helicopters had stunned him. He hadn't expected the new King of Nassen to be so terrifying—so powerful that not even missiles and rockets could harm him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the level of strength they faced, then even if all their fighters attacked together, they likely wouldn't be a match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without defeating the King, they couldn't claim the divine tree. Failure here meant disaster for his family's standing within the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gaide's words rekindled hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, superhuman abilities came in all shapes and forms. They might appear overwhelming at first, but once you understood the nature of the power, it could be countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that mutant from Anywhere Company, Phantom, who could enter cyberspace at will—stealing intelligence, altering passwords, transferring funds, even pressing the button to launch a nuclear strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, they developed a counter: uploading artificial hunter consciousnesses into the network to intercept and capture Phantom inside the digital world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had a weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This new King of Nassen seemed terrifying because he controlled metal, conveniently countering modern weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without them, he was just another mutant with above-average power. And Behemoth had plenty of mutants who could bring him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing to fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, if they could capture him alive and study his ability, creating more mutants who could manipulate metal, Behemoth would gain an immense advantage over every other major faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Ron's command, the initially shocked Hyena and Explosive Man quickly recovered, grinning coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's all it is—metal control? I thought for a moment…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thought I was outclassed, Hyena sneered. He was the first to move, leaving behind an afterimage as his body launched toward George seated on the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ability was pure physical enhancement, second only to the hero Sean within Behemoth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosive Man followed close behind, energy already crackling and condensing in his hands as he ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can control missiles—but can you control me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosions I create are no weaker than those missiles!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, more than twenty mutants clad in combat suits, each with unique abilities, also surged forward to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we intervene?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the disguised soldiers of other factions, some hesitated, debating whether to seize this chance while Behemoth avoided modern weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they quickly dismissed the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their goal wasn't to save Nassen—it was to destroy the divine tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they helped Nassen now, the King, his Guards, and the islanders would never allow the tree's destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to wait. Even if Behemoth won, it would surely be a costly victory. They could then swoop in and finish them off before turning on the divine tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if Behemoth lost, the King and his Guards would also be left with little strength, leaving the tree just as vulnerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had miscalculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When two rivals fight, a third party profits—but only if one side isn't a dragon. If it is, the story changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only would the fisherman fail to profit, he'd be lucky to survive. For if the dragon felt no mercy after crushing the bird, the fisherman too would be slaughtered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pack of mongrels and strays, daring to act arrogant before me? Kneel before your King!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George handed his teacup to Li Mumu, then pointed a single finger forward. A black magic circle instantly took shape in the sky above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, an overwhelming gravitational force came crashing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resistance was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone below the throne—Hyena, Explosive Man, and the Hunting Squad mutants already charging up the steps, Ron and the gene-modified soldiers, even the undercover operatives from other factions—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were crushed to their knees at once by the irresistible force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more they struggled, the heavier the pressure grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the gravity magic George had learned in the Fairy Tail world, refined and fused with multiple variations into something far deadlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within his field of gravity, every living being was affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger the resistance, the greater the weight pressing them down. Unless one's strength surpassed his, they would all be forced to kneel, unable to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Hyena, whose body was absurdly tough, was pinned just the same as Ron, an ordinary man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had been subjected to the same gravity, Ron would have long since been crushed into paste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-How… how is this possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, everyone present—along with Gaide and the ability researchers aboard the battleship—was utterly dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If George's control of missiles and bullets could be explained away as mere metal manipulation, then what was this supposed to be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many people, so many powerful fighters, and yet not a single one could even stand before this new King of Nassen. How were they supposed to fight him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wished to slaughter them, weren't they all nothing more than lambs awaiting the butcher's knife?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that's right—you still have some comrades outside, don't you? Let them come in and kneel as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George lifted his head with a smile, gazing out toward the direction of the Behemoth battleships where Gaide was stationed, and once again unleashed his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1141,"2026-06-10T06:47:29.308Z",1,"novelbin.me","4126554305ad9d93412967d43f8eb45d1d7523463505e0b7474da90eaec1cd3f","marvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-chapter-575","marvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-chapter-727",918,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-cover.jpg"]
