Tell her to come back immediately and take us there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ororo opened her mouth and said slowly, \"Professor, Clarice has already become Aaron's intern secretary. She won't be coming back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another one ran away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles was stunned. Was his teaching really such a failure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were students and teachers fleeing one after another?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Aaron's charm that great?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehy hadn't he noticed anything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, he shouldn't have let Blink meet Aaron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scott! Logan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles subconsciously contacted the other teachers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was quiet outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Charles used his psychic ability to check their location, his face turned green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott, Logan and Colossus were completely drunk. Each of them had at least twenty bottles of alcohol in front of them and were barely conscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three grown men were hugging intimately and making bizarre, sphincter-tightening statements like: \"I love you so much,\" \"You can't leave,\" and \"Can you promise me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since one of them was the underage Colossus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott and Logan, both educators, actually got a male student drunk to do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is indecent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles took a deep breath and looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was too old to witness such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this incident, the entire school didn't have a single X-Men member who could be deployed. The school's defenses were practically nonexistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that was left was him, a crippled old man who relied on a wheelchair to move, guarding the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he could only figure out a solution himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, he couldn't let his old friend mess around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't afraid that Erik would cause too much commotion by fighting. Rather, he was afraid that if Aaron got angry, the good relationship he had painstakingly built would be instantly destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ororo, you must stop him. This conflict belongs to us, we absolutely cannot let Aaron intervene.\" Charles could only instruct Ororo first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ororo took a deep breath, her eyes turning white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New York's azure sky instantly became covered in dark clouds, and thunder occasionally rumbled within the layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Aaron and Hela had arrived at the main gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the arrival of Aaron and the others, Ororo, while controlling the thunder, said, \"Mr. Aaron, please leave everything here to us. Rest assured, I will try my best not to affect this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hela scoffed upon hearing this and asked Aaron, \"Does that old man count as a powerhouse on Earth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron thought for a moment and said, \"At most, he's an elite monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hela immediately lost interest upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hela was competitive her whole life, she only played high-level games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they weren't on the same level as Odin or Aaron, she wouldn't bother making a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ororo was speechless hearing their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Magneto!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the two most powerful Mutants, yet according to you, he's just an extra who won't last two episodes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik noticed the commotion at the main gate, and glanced indifferently at the changing sky, his expression unmoved, completely unaffected by Ororo's abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored Ororo and Hela, looked at Aaron, and smiled. \"This must be Mr. Miracle Aaron. I am Magneto Erik Lehnsherr, a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants. It's a pleasure to meet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\" Aaron merely nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik's smile froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, you have quite a bit of youthful arrogance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron calmly said, \"If a young person isn't youthfully arrogant, are they still a young person? Do they have to wait until they're old and barely breathing before strolling around trying to be a big shot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik's face twitched slightly. This was different from the Aaron he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he feel like Aaron's words had a hidden meaning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toad jumped out at this moment. \"You kid, how dare you talk to our boss like that, you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sizzle—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lightning serpent instantly descended from the sky, striking Toad until he was burnt crisp inside and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magneto frowned and looked at the equally shocked Ororo. \"Storm, even if Toad shouldn't interrupt my conversation with Aaron, my subordinate is certainly not yours to discipline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ororo blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was clearly still gathering power, I didn't make a move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the heavens couldn't stand Toad's arrogance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Toad, if you're not dead, give me a peep.\" Erik finished warning Ororo and said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toad didn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sabretooth twitched his nose. \"Brother, you smell so good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poked Toad, who immediately fell over, completely still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Erik looked over, and Sabretooth looked back at him with a face full of innocence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn't me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Useless trash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sabretooth was initially angry, Erik called him useless trash again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he thought, 'He must be talking about Toad, right?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toad certainly was useless trash. He couldn't even withstand that level of attack. If it were him, it wouldn't be a problem at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this how Charles taught you? Hmph, it seems I need to discipline you properly on his behalf.\" Erik was displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Toad was out of line, it shouldn't be Ororo—another lackey—who made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I did it. Got a problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Aaron spoke, he beckoned, bringing over some of Toad's tissue and melting it down directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a look: [Giant Tongue Whip] had been strengthened. Its length and toughness were unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone who tried it said it was good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Storm, you dare to do it but don't dare to admit it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'd like to see how you strike people down today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik didn't believe a word Aaron said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world's richest man who can also control lightning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why don't you just say you're Superman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He manipulated the surrounding steel bars, condensing them into long, thin lightning rods that stood all around, deeply embedding themselves into the Earth, neutralizing Ororo's lightning power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ororo was speechless, she really hadn't made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I did it. Come on, I want to see how formidable the mighty Magneto is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since things had come to this, Ororo could only take the blame herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Magneto ran off to fight Aaron, the nature of the event would change. It would escalate from an internal Mutant conflict to an international incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight starts today, the relevant documents are issued tomorrow, and the Mutants are extinct the day after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron was currently the living 'Dad' of the whole world—who wouldn't actively try to please him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ororo gritted her teeth, summoning gales and falling lightning, attempting to make Magneto retreat in the face of difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Erik was fearless. As a top-tier Level Four Mutant who had practiced his abilities for decades, he had crossed more bridges than Ororo had walked roads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single thought, the surrounding steel automatically condensed into spears and longswords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hela found this scene quite interesting. \"This guy is somewhat interesting, he has a bit of my style.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone like this is only considered an elite monster on Earth? I can't wait to see who counts as a true powerhouse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron automatically filtered out Hela's arrogant remarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He attempted to control Erik's consciousness. However, Erik's helmet could effectively block his thousand-fold psychic ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This surprised Aaron greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another piece of Black Technology!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this did not mean Aaron couldn't deal with the helmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, psychic ability is a type of Mental Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides mind control, Telekinesis is also a variation of Mental Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could easily use Telekinesis to destroy Magneto's helmet and then perform mind control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>40 Advanced Chapters on\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002Falex_1000\u003C\u002Fp>",1296,"2026-06-05T16:52:19.138Z",1,"novelbin.me","9c557fa681a82b072a2136d79e3738fc5bb6809cad7c57ceb945856e464b4321","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-179","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-177",363,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-the-devourer-cover.jpg"]
