The U.S. military of this period was incredibly arrogant, and it was fully revealed at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the batch that came up later had some people equipped with gear to deal with mutants. Especially plastic bullets and plastic rifles that Magneto couldn't control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magneto was not a pushover who would just take a beating without fighting back. In a special environment, he might have been helpless against plastic bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on a normal street, metal objects that could be influenced by magnetism were everywhere. It was equivalent to the whole world being his assistant; this was his home field. To deal with the heavily equipped U.S. military, the battle-hardened Magneto had countless ways to subdue the enemy and win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually controlled a car on the side of the road and blocked all the firing lines of this group of people. This was Magneto having no intention to kill; otherwise, this car would have been smashed onto these soldiers, and if they didn't die, they would have been seriously injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attitude was also the attitude of Red Lotus and Selene; they had come to save their fellow mutants, not to fight the U.S. military to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that they had the burden of Genosha Island behind them; it was impossible to act entirely based on love, hate, or preference. It was easy to kill all these U.S. soldiers, but it would be difficult to defend the last home of mutants afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Lotus, who had the bloodline of the South Pacific island natives, was not only big in stature, but even those long braids of hers could suddenly explode in length and then whip around like a lash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she couldn't be as flexible as an octopus tentacle, she was incredibly strong; an ordinary person would be sent flying into the sky if they were hit once. If she happened to whip into the trajectory, bullets could even be knocked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selene's fighting style looked much simpler; she only took out a dagger to fight people. But she fully utilized the advantage of her psychic abilities, not deliberately trying to completely control others, but making the soldiers move their muzzles away from her without realizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, even if she stood still, the American soldiers thought they were aiming their guns at her, but in the end, the bullets would only graze past her. Because under her suggestion, her position was actually not where the soldiers were aiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Selene did not attack the soldiers, only occasionally defending against enemies who got close. She had a more important task: controlling Nightcrawler, who was elusive and unpredictable on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because as early as when Magneto led the Brotherhood of Mutants to counterattack the U.S. military, the X-Men had also acted at the same time. They were not trying to defeat the enemy, but mainly to prevent Magneto and the others from causing greater damage, especially to the U.S. soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyclops and Storm didn't need to be mentioned, and they didn't even need Professor X's command. As soon as Magneto made a move, they acted as if they had a stress reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nightcrawler, however, was not like the previous two; he didn't have the courage for close-quarters combat. His strength lay in using his teleportation ability to quickly support and coordinate combat power. Especially for Professor X, who had mobility issues, he could hardly move on his own in complex terrain environments with his wheelchair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selene's ability caused a deviation in the location where Nightcrawler appeared after teleporting. And Nightcrawler's ability required contact to take companions along, which in turn limited his ability to move the X-Men elusively on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the combat power of both sides was only like this, then the X-Men plus the U.S. military should have had a slight upper hand compared to the Brotherhood of Mutants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Beast Hank clearly stood on Magneto's side in this sudden battle. Whether it was Cyclops or Storm, when encountering this figure who was both a teacher and a friend, they would always unconsciously hold back, and then they would be sent flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, the Beast didn't have as many concerns as those two little guys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, whether it was Cyclops or Storm, they couldn't move the thick-skinned Beast at all without using their ultimate moves, and they were afraid of causing too much damage if they did use them. In a situation where they were tied up, being slapped away by the Beast at close range was the only result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Clown-Supes was sitting on a railing on the side, with a hot dog in each hand. He was eating, one bite on the left, one bite on the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Cyclops finally couldn't help it, used his optic blast to send the Beast flying, and prepared to join the U.S. soldiers to surround Magneto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Magneto, who was not afraid of group attacks at all, raised his palm and pulled out all the metal pipes from the ground, indiscriminately creating trouble for the people on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could ignore the threat under their feet and calmly raise their guns to shoot; some people even got entangled by gas pipes or some other lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those who didn't give up and wanted to continue shooting had their weapons stripped from their hands and bodies by Magneto. Facing the subsequent battle, they were naturally powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who held plastic weapons were given special attention. The pipes extending from the ground crawled onto them like snakes, not only entangling them but also controlling them until they couldn't move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this move also prevented Professor X, who wanted to control his wheelchair to move forward on his own. He could only choose to continue his mental confrontation with Selene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a witch and mutant with an immortal body, although Selene was trapped in a low period of magic, her abilities were greatly reduced. But one could still see her power from the fact that Professor X had never been able to help Nightcrawler get rid of Selene's psychic influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this also had to do with Professor X's big heart; every time he saw his own people in crisis, he would choose to directly control and stop the opponent. He spent too much mental energy on extra things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The destroyed ground, of course, could not hinder Magneto's movements. He controlled the magnetic material on the soles of his shoes, made himself float, and headed toward the house where Jean was located according to the intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast, who had been blown away, also returned to the battlefield at this time. He used the roofs of cars on the road as stepping stones, jumping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyclops was not like the American soldiers, who were unable to move after being trapped by traps. He opened the switch on his visor, lowered his head, and blasted a circle around himself, directly melting and breaking the pipes that were entangling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just about to open the visor switch and use his optic blast to blast Magneto, who was floating in the air, down. But the Beast lunged and interrupted Cyclops's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyclops, whose temper had flared up, didn't care who was in front of him anymore. He directly used an optic blast to send the Beast flying hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just when Cyclops was being held back, Magneto pulled a subway train from the ground and blocked it at the door of the apartment where Jean was, preventing others from entering and interfering. He himself entered the apartment through the inside of the train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this time, Clown-Supes was devouring a box of evil pizza sprinkled with pineapple slices, chugging a fat-house happy water with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the classic scene from the movie on the spot, he clapped his hands excitedly and shouted loudly. It was just that the things he hadn't swallowed yet were spraying everywhere, making him look a bit dirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast, who had been blown away by Cyclops, happened to fall next to Clown-Supes. He looked at this foreign aid designated by Raven in a daze, and suddenly had an absurd feeling about what the other party was here for.\u003C\u002Fp>",1431,"2026-06-18T01:36:48.144Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","59ce7666e3ecfe73d08aead84fc076c867f1ecf3f93d43fd7b75d18a361c1764","the-kryptonian-slacker-in-marvel-chapter-104","the-kryptonian-slacker-in-marvel-chapter-102",253,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-s-salted-fish-kryptonian-cover.jpg"]
