Is there such a character among Mutants?\" Erik's attention turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Aaron and Hela, he, the magnificent Magneto, was only considered an elite monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So who was qualified to be a boss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now Apocalypse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph, Apocalypse, whom he had never heard of, wanted to be the boss? He, Magneto, would be the first to object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron glanced at Erik. \"Are you two done with your whispering?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Erik was puzzled, Charles took control of his body. \"Sorry, Mr. Aaron, I was just reasoning with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reasoning? Isn't this reasoning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron raised his fist and waved it. \"Besides this, what else counts as reasoning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hela's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands emphatically. \"Uncle, you are absolutely right. I find myself liking you more and more. You truly are my mas… man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't reasoning just about fists?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hela understood this deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Asgard became the overlord of the Nine Realms, maintaining order for thousands of years, was it because they reasoned verbally and subdued people with virtue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all fought for with swords and shields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, in the clash of ideologies, Hela simply wasn't strong enough, so she couldn't out-reason Odin and was sealed for a thousand years. She was even erased from existence and glory, becoming an invisible person, a taboo, in Asgard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had been the victor back then, would Thor and Loki even exist now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle? Man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles and Erik were simultaneously astonished in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were the gods playing such games now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn't know, they would think they were Greek gods, not Norse ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron ignored the two who were thinking astray, he disdained to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm too lazy to waste words with you. Bring me that… Mutant Conversion Machine of yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A machine capable of activating the X-gene sounded pretty good. But it was destined to be a failure, not as successful as Erik imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he could smelt it, could he remove its flaws and extract only its useful properties?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik instinctively wanted to refuse, but Charles immediately spoke, \"No problem, I'll have someone bring it to you right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik hadn't expected his old friend to betray him like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had met first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough, Erik, this is my show now, and everything goes by my word.\" Charles spoke with an undeniable tone, as if he were the true owner of the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik seethed inwardly, 'This is my body, you thief, get out.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Charles wouldn't have so forcefully taken over Erik's body. But now, he was facing Aaron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any request from this lord had to be fulfilled as much as possible. Otherwise, it could lead to a full-scale attack on all humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hela paid no attention to Erik and Charles. Her gaze was fixed on Aaron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there weren't others present, she would surely make Aaron experience the ultimate \"ecstasy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron said, \"Alright, once the Mutant Conversion Machine arrives, I'll take you to Egypt. Without me, even if I gave you an airplane, you'd be lost in Egypt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abilities of Mutants, strictly speaking, were not of Earth origin. There were bound to be many characteristics and even concepts among them that could bring him improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He naturally wouldn't let go of Apocalypse, this special being hailed as the first Mutant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hela was overjoyed at the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik was also quite interested in this. In his entire life, besides Sebastian Shaw, only Aaron had made him feel so humiliated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see what capabilities this Mutant, whom Aaron considered a boss, possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron let Erik go, allowing Charles to control him to bring the item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles was clearly in a hurry. It was his first time using Erik's body to control magnetism for flight or move freely. This feeling was quite extraordinary for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik was still bickering with Charles in his mind. But his body was very obedient, cooperatively controlling the Mutant Conversion Machine to fly towards New York.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two carried the room-sized apparatus as if no one else existed, walking through the bustling city to the gates of Aaron Industries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>S.H.I.E.L.D. agents led by Coulson surrounded them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S.H.I.E.L.D. business! Magneto, what are you doing at Aaron Industries?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coulson and the others were secretly vigilant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Fury learned that Magneto was brazenly bringing people to Aaron Industries, he immediately dispatched Coulson with plastic bullet-equipped weapons to help out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of you, get out of our way. This is something Mr. Aaron specifically requested. Are you trying to stop me?\" Erik showed no respect to these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, Magneto, was a man of prestige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Coulson and the others heard this, they were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You're a villain, what right do you have to speak to a righteous government department like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's utterly outrageous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? You're working for Aaron? Oh, never mind then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coulson, in a daze, waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to clear a path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched Erik haughtily carry the item into the underground garage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent looked at Magneto's back, eager to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't mess around, that's Aaron.\" Coulson shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one word from him had scared Fury so much that he hadn't slept well for many days, busy off his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he, Coulson, possibly provoke him? Was he tired of living?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Charles, I never thought that one day I would be able to openly dismiss an army and have them obediently make way for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik had to admit, he was starting to like this feeling of borrowing power and bullying others. And the other party was a group of seemingly extraordinary secret agents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly wondered if he had made a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just by working for Aaron, he could wield such authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could also possess Aaron's power, wouldn't he be able to make these guys scram with just one word?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't think too much. Aaron is a miracle. In all these years in this world, he's the only one who has appeared.\" Charles sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik, have you finally realized Aaron's terror?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only are we not as strong as him, but our influence isn't as great either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Erik, times have changed. Now, to get by, being a good fighter is useless. It's about influence and background.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason we Mutants have such a hard time... isn't it because we lack background?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles shook his head, suddenly finding his original ideas ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with all his painstaking efforts and the many things he did for Mutants, it wasn't as effective as a single word from Aaron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik thought for a moment, compared himself to Aaron, and then felt a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not thinking about it anymore, it's too annoying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's simply a monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Erik understood Aaron, the more he could grasp his terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was the gap between them so immense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the item was delivered, Aaron dismissed Norman's secretary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell Coulson and his people not to get in the way, and to leave immediately. Their help isn't needed here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Erik left, Coulson politely called Aaron to inquire. However, Aaron had no time to waste words with a group of grown men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Erik returned, he went to the underground garage alone and smelted the Mutant Conversion Machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Gene Activation: Similar ability detected and fused.
