Although the world was no longer divided by geopolitics, it was undeniable that the two countries bordering each other would still be influenced by each other's culture and customs. They might even be of the same origin, such as the United States and Canada. In this world, there was probably no other bordering countries that had a relationship as wonderful as theirs. There were no checkpoints at the border between the two countries, only a passage used to mark the border.
The moment you crossed the border, you wouldn't even feel the change …
It was the time when the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The road was not as busy as it was during the day, but there were still many cars passing by. The light reflected on the ground made the night not so cold.
"Hello, Professor … Where are you?"
Saber pressed the steering wheel with one hand and held the special mobile phone in the other. Even after three years, the mobile phone that Stark gave him was still not outdated. The girl in the passenger seat had fallen asleep with Saber's coat draped over her. She seemed to be dreaming of something worth remembering, and her face was full of smiles. On the other side of the phone, Professor Xavier's voice was no different from before, just as gentle as before.
"We're rushing to the border … We'll arrive in about 15 minutes. After you cross the border, wait where you are. Be careful, Saber, you're making too much noise. You might alert Eric."
Saber looked up at the night sky and said softly.
"Magneto? Is he here too? "
"Eric's whereabouts are a mystery. Wherever he goes, the magnetic field will change abnormally. As long as he wants to, no one in this world can find him."
Professor Xavier's voice had a lingering sense of seriousness. "You should've notified us when you found the girl. That way, we'd have enough time to prepare … Hiss … Hiss … Hiss …"
The voice coming from the phone suddenly became intermittent, as if there was a strong electromagnetic interference.
"Hello, Professor? Can you hear me? "
Saber shook the phone subconsciously, but the signal on the screen was extremely weak. On the other side of the sky, after realizing that there was a problem with the communication, Professor Xavier's face changed drastically. He looked at Storm Lady Ororo who was steering the plane forward and said in a deep voice.
"Ororo, speed up! Eric … It must be him! "
When she heard the name, Storm's face also changed. She pushed the joystick forward, and the speed of the black plane increased again. "Boom!" A white sonic boom appeared behind the plane. The whole plane shook a few times, and then disappeared into the sky like a white arrow in the night sky.
On the other side, Saber realized that something was wrong after the call. He threw the phone and took out a watch from the car. It's owner. There was a small compass on it... Under the car's light, he saw the red pointer of the compass's red needle jumping crazily as if it in an area with an abnormal magnetic field...
Thinking about the characteristics mentioned by the professor, Seber gritted his teeth, stepped on the brakes, and was about to turn around and leave. However, at this moment, a light flashed in front of his eyes, and the two of them appeared 500 meters away from him. It was as if they had broken through the darkness.
The darkness could not stop Saber's vision. He saw the two figures standing in the middle of the road at a glance. It was a strange man with black hair, red skin, and wearing a suit from the last century. The other person was wearing a black hood and black gloves.
When they appeared, the cars on both sides of the road were not prepared at all. At least three cars stepped on the brakes, but the distance was too close. They were about to hit the two people, but 10 meters away from them, there seemed to be an invisible air wall, forcing the three cars to stop in place. Saber even saw sparks from the friction between the tires and the ground.
This scene caused the high-speed cars on both sides of the road to stop. The sound of horns rang through the night sky, mixed with a few angry curses. This seemed to provoke the hooded man. He stretched out his left hand, as if holding the air, and gently raised it. Saber felt his car shake twice, and then it quieted down. But outside the window, a magical scene was happening.
Other than Seiber's car, all the other cars, no matter if they were small cars, heavy trucks, or even heavy trucks loaded with goods, were slowly leaving the ground. Following the man in black's raised left hand, the hand seemed to have magical powers. All the cursing and honking turned into screams and begging for mercy at that moment.
"Look, Athazzo, this is an ordinary person …"
The hooded man said softly, "Weak and ignorant, especially when they gather in a group. They will always try to solve problems with violence, but once they encounter real power, their cowardly nature will be exposed. They will kneel on the ground and beg for mercy … just for a life. Tell me, what right do they have to be the mainstream of the world, while we are forced to have nowhere to hide?"
A person's true character would only be revealed when danger came. At midnight, all the drivers on the road realized that they were involved in something serious. Saber could not help but look back. On the entire road, at least a hundred cars were lifted at the same time. It was so smooth that it was as if there was an invisible cushion on them.
The screams grew louder and louder. Some people even tried to jump out of the window, but they could not. The door was held down by a force, and they could not go anywhere. Fear fermented in the air, and eventually, it became a spreading panic. The culprit of all this looked on like a bystander until he was disgusted with the noise.
"Isn't God very unfair? He gave us everything, but he put a layer of shackles on us … Hehe, God can't save us. Let us break these shackles with our own hands and give us true freedom … "
Saber saw the face under the hood reveal an amused smile. His heart sank. The next moment, he raised his left hand and waved it gently to the right as if he was swatting a fly.
Boom! Boom!
All the cars that were levitating under the powerful force seemed to have been thrown out by an invisible hand at the same time. They were at least two meters above the ground. They "flew" towards the left side of the wilderness. Like hailstones falling from the sky, they smashed onto the ground, causing the ground to shake constantly.
The first batch of cars that landed were the most unlucky ones. One after another, the cars behind them crashed into them. The entire wilderness on the right was instantly shrouded in explosions and death. The raging flames completely tore apart the tranquility of the night. The entire road was cleared at this moment, leaving only Saber's car "alone" in the middle of the road.
Pixie was awakened. She looked at the flames outside the window and was too scared to say a word. Santals groaned. The young man was finally awake. He looked out the window in a daze. The flames and the crazy explosions that streaked across the night sky instantly wiped away his sleepiness. Saber's face was completely serious.
The atmosphere in the carriage was heavy to the extreme at this moment.
"Ahem …"
The man in the black hood coughed softly. He reached out and took off his hood, revealing an old face, white hair, and a strange helmet on his head. It was dark red and smooth, even reflecting the moonlight. However, his eyes did not look like an old man at all. They were sharp, stubborn, determined, and cold.
Even the wrinkles on his face were like scars on a warrior's body. Time had not defeated this old man. Instead, it made his aura even sharper, like a dusty blade.
"Do you want to come out yourself … or do you want me to drag you out?"
That voice rang in Seiber's ears. Pixie grabbed the door switch with both hands in horror, but it couldn't open the door no matter how hard it tried. Santos even turned into mist, but it couldn't pass through the gaps of the car. Outside the car, there seemed to be a layer of invisible force that sealed the car tightly. It was like a cage, trapping them like white mice with nowhere to escape. They were sealed and could only wait helplessly for the final judgment to come.
The man did not say his name, and he did not need to. This kind of terrifying ability, this kind of powerful deterrence, Saber could only think of one name in his mind.
Magneto, Eric, the leader of the Mutant Brotherhood. Like Professor Charles, he was one of the two poles of the Mutant Society.
"Sit tight!"
Sai Bo said in a low voice as he stepped on the accelerator. "Vroom!" The sound of the engine roared in the dark night.
Due to the force that stopped the car from moving forward, the tires of the four-wheel-drive SUV rubbed against the ground crazily. Sparks and the smell of rubber heating up the car made it look like a mad bull with red eyes. Pixie and Santals held on to everything around them tightly while Seiber squinted his eyes. The red glow in his eyes flickered as he stared at the black figure in front of him.
Eric looked at Seber, who was still trying to resist, with interest. Through the car window, he could see the light in the young man's eyes. That light reminded him of himself from a few decades ago. A smile appeared on Eric's face. He retracted his left hand, and the force that was stopping the car from moving forward suddenly disappeared.
At this moment, Seiber's car shot towards Eric who was 500 meters away like an arrow. Magneto looked coldly at the car that was charging towards him and said in a low voice.
"I still remember when I was chasing after those d * mned bastards, I was attacked by three tanks. They fired at me crazily. They thought that they could scare me with something that could only scare normal people …"
When the SUV that had reached its maximum speed was less than 50 meters away from him, he stretched out his finger and flicked it in the air. The next moment, the crazily charging car seemed to be easily fixed in place by an invisible hand. It was as if it had hit an invisible wall, unable to move an inch forward.
BANG!
Saber's head slammed into the windshield in front of him, smashing it into pieces. His body rolled back and forth in mid-air, and the car was directly thrown into the air.
It spun a few rounds in the air like a floating leaf before finally landing on the ground. Seber was also lying on the ground in a sorry state. Eric tilted his head, retracted his finger, and said softly, "That's right.
"Compared to that time, this time is much easier."
He ignored Saber, who was lying on the ground, and the latter got up and rushed towards him with his fists clenched. However, the next moment, a red figure appeared in front of him in a flash. The Red Devil Azazzo gave Saber a sinister smile. His figure flashed again, and two strange barbed daggers pierced his heart one after another.
"The first stab is for Riptide.
The second stab is for my subordinates who died in Gotham. "
The black war tattoos on Azazzo's face twisted, making him look more like a ferocious devil. The runes on the barbed daggers flashed, and the next stab was aimed at Saber's neck. However, the moment it came into contact with his skin, it was caught by a hand. Saber raised his head, and the red light in his eyes shone brightly.
"The third stab … Save it for yourself."
BANG!
His fist smashed into the Red Devil's chest, and Azazzo's body was sent flying. He disappeared in mid-air, and when he reappeared, he was standing behind Saber. The two of them began to attack each other wildly.
Eric stood in front of the car, which was now in a terrible state. He looked at the two people in the car and smiled warmly at Naughty Dog, whose forehead was bleeding.
"Don't be afraid, child … You are destined to be the hero of our race."
CRASH! CRASH!
Under the manipulation of Eric's will, the metal body of the car started to disintegrate. The screws rotated out, the doors fell apart, and the twisted metal flew to one side. The broken parts floated in the air like those in a fantasy story. In less than 3 seconds, the car had been disassembled, leaving only four seats in the empty place.
Mischievous Pixie stared blankly at the car parts floating around her. She then looked at Magneto, who was standing in the middle of the car parts like a god. She had no idea what to do. Faced with such an opponent, was there really any hope of escaping?
"Eric … Stop!"
Santos suddenly spoke. It was the voice of the young man, but Magneto's eyes became cold at this moment, but after a moment, he regained his indifference and waved at Santos.
"You're still here … Charles, you're always like this. You're never late. But why don't you come out and meet your old friend?"
Santos did not speak. He just stood up from his seat. He was still the young man, but Little Rascal, who had been looking at him all this time, clearly felt an aura that did not belong to him. It was as if he was an existence that was no weaker than Eric in front of her.
SWOOSH!
A cold blade flickered in the air and pressed against Eric's neck. Red Devil Azazo, who was fighting Seiber to the death, had a cold expression on his face. There was a hint of struggle in his eyes, but he said in a low voice, "Let's go.
"No … Eric, I'll always be by your side …"
