Every world had many secrets, and these secrets were often hidden in the dust of history. Many times, in the development of human civilization, there were traces of the participation of outsiders. Although most of them knew the whereabouts of the outsiders, in the eyes of the truly observant, many things were not so simple.
"Metal!"
Saber's voice echoed in the dark hall, which seemed to be empty. He held a silver weapon fragment in his hand, playing back and forth in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"Someone told me that the real key to darkness and light is" metal ", and the key to breaking the game is also metal … But I don't understand. I have no interest in the history of this world, so I'm more inclined to get what I need from the real experts … My old friend, even if I tell you all the facts about me, will you still choose to remain silent?"
Under the control of Saber's will, the darkness in the hall in front of him was like a curtain, being pulled open completely, and a warm light shone in the hall of this boulder, shining on the person who was bound opposite Saber. The long darkness was dispelled, and the extremely tired eyes slowly opened.
This gentle light was so dazzling at this moment.
"Ahem … Why don't you kill me?"
The man's voice was old and hoarse, and it seemed that he had been locked here for a long time.
Faced with his question, Saber stood up from the stone seat and walked to the weak opponent. He looked at the familiar red robe on his body and the dark red helmet that was put aside.
"Erik, I have said many times, in another world, we are friends, and I believe that in this world, we will be friends too!"
The scene flipped, and the person bound to the stone wall by the light was Magneto, who had been confirmed dead … The master of magnetic fields and all metals.
"I will not be friends with people like you!"
Erik raised his head with difficulty, his old face with a hint of sarcasm, looking at Saber: "When I was young, another dictator and tyrant tried to control me and make me work for him. Guess what happened to him?"
"Look, your temper is still so bad!"
Saber shrugged. He turned around and walked back to his seat. He propped up his cheek with his left hand and looked at the stubborn Magneto.
"I'm sorry, Eric. I don't have much time to slowly persuade you, so I can only use some violent methods … But after everything is over, you will eventually realize that I'm not here to destroy your world. On the contrary … I'm here to save it."
"Pa!"
The sound of fingers snapping echoed in the stone hall. On the big screen in front of Eric, an image appeared in front of him.
It was a barren area. Hundreds of young people with different skin colors, expressions, and races were forced to half-kneel on the ground. Behind each of them stood a ninja in black with a sharp blade in his hand.
"These are the hundreds of young Mutants and children I rescued from the US government's" Weapon X "program, Eric … I was going to set them free …"
Saber's cold voice came into Magneto's ears. Magneto, who had experienced too many things, didn't need Saber to say the next threat. He already knew what Saber wanted to do.
"Despicable!"
Eric struggled with all his might, but his strength was locked. He was like an ordinary old man. He could only watch the massacre unfold before him. He cursed Seiber who was sitting opposite him and yelled, "Hey, Seiber, you're dead!"
"You are also a Mutant, I can feel it, you are also one of us … Why are you doing this!"
"Stupid!"
Saber's finger slammed down in the air, and the indifference in his eyes became more and more threatening: "I should have known that it was meaningless to discuss saving with a stubborn guy like you. I know every weakness of yours, Eric, and this is just the beginning! What are the names of your children in Sokovia? Poor Maximoff Walter, and that impulsive boy … Pietro, right? "
"Two new stars who may step into the ranks of Omega Mutants when they grow up … They are your direct bloodline!"
The smile on Seiber's face became even more dangerous.
"Guess, Eric, how long will it take for me to go from Gotham to Sokovia?"
This sentence made Eric's eyes shrink. His heart began to waver, but he was still unwilling to bow down.
"You lunatic! Butcher! I don't even know what metal you are talking about! "
"What a pity! Wrong answer! "
Saber's figure suddenly disappeared from the throne. Two seconds later, with the help of the space stone, he returned to his original seat. This time, there was a sleeping girl in his arms. Her crimson hair made Eric's eyes widen.
"Look, what a cute girl …"
Saber's finger slowly stroked little Walter's cheek as if he was treating his own family, but his other hand was tightly clasped around the little girl's neck. With a gentle squeeze, a fresh life would be completely extinguished.
He looked up at Magneto, who was as angry as a lion, and said softly:
"My thoughts can't enter your mind, Eric. It's obvious that you've used some kind of method to block it. And you're telling me that you don't know anything about what I'm asking. Eric, do I look like an idiot who's easily fooled?"
He raised his finger in the air, and on the screen in front of him, the ninjas also raised their blades. His voice became calm:
"Last time, Eric, your family, and the people you swore to give up everything for and protect … The other side is the secret you tried so hard to hide … Tell me the answer, or watch them die."
Saber waited for five seconds, and Eric, who was tied to the wall, was still silent. This finally made Saber lose confidence. His finger suddenly slipped from the air, and blood splattered on the screen. Eric let out a desperate roar, but just as Saber's fingers were about to tighten around Walter's neck, a tired and desperate voice finally sounded:
"Okay, you win, you butcher … Tell me, what do you want to know?"
Bang!
Saber threw the silver-white metal in his hand at Magneto's feet. He said in a low voice, "In this world, no one knows this damn metal better than you … I want to know all the secrets it contains!"
— — —
"The metal in your hand is the eighth metal!"
The silver metal kept circling in the weak Magneto's hand. His broken and weak eyes looked at the metal fragments in his hand that were disintegrating bit by bit. He said softly:
"This thing is called the Divine Metal. It is said to be a fragment left behind by the gods when they created the world. It can be used to make weapons. As you can see, it is extremely hard and has good magic conductivity. It is the strongest metal that can be found in the modern world, but it is actually not rare … At least, it is not rare for the secret you are after."
Saber nodded. He did not say anything. He was waiting for Eric to continue explaining. Magneto in this timeline was silent for a moment before he spoke again.
"As for the metal I implanted in my body, it is the Nth metal, the ninth metal. It is also what is preventing your will from observing my soul."
Magneto's fingers jumped in the air, and clusters of amber metal liquid were pulled out of his body by his powerful magnetic force. They finally converged into a round metal particle with a surface shining with endless luster under the illumination of light. He placed it on the stone table in front of him. At the moment of contact with the stone, a quantity of amber metal liquid the size of a thumb quickly covered the huge stone table completely, as if turning it into a metal table.
"It is a truly incredible existence. It denies physics. It is above the modern world. It is said that as long as there are enough of it, it can realize all the arrogant ambitions of the user. It is the weapon of the heroes in history, but it is extremely rare … In my research on it, I found countless wonderful effects about it, and in our history, Nth metal, the ninth metal, occupies an extremely important space."
"The spear used by Spartacus to start the slave revolt contained Nth metal. The command knife used by Napoleon to conquer Europe also contained Nth metal. Even in the ruins of Mount Olympus in Greece, I still found traces of Nth metal. The artifacts of Norse mythology, Gungnir, and Mjolnir were also mixed with it. To exaggerate, our history is actually the history recorded by Nth metal."
Eric looked at Saber:
"In the ancient legends, it was known as a divine object. It has a strong ability to restrain all evil. Moreover, it is said that this metal itself is the carrier of despair and hope. Don't ask me what this means, I don't know either. I only know that there is such a saying. Perhaps the mages know more …"
Seiber rubbed his chin and tapped on the metal table. The amber-colored metal liquid was quickly extracted. He looked at the amber-colored metal ball floating in his hand and said, "Let's see if you can find a way to make a breakthrough.
"Someone told me that consuming enough Nth metal can directly break through the boundary between darkness and light, and even push the whole world into eternal darkness. Do you think this is possible?"
"In theory, it is possible. Nth metal has magical effects. Maybe it can do it, but I don't know. It took me decades to find such a little thing from the corners of history. I can only reach this level of understanding of it, whether you are satisfied or not …"
Magneto held his sleeping daughter in his arms and lowered his voice.
"But if you really want to know more … I recommend you to find another person. To be precise, it is a couple. They live in seclusion. It is said that they have survived since ancient times, and this is also a miracle brought about by the magical Nth metal."
"Carter Hall and Shiara Saunders. Perhaps you can find the final answer from them. In addition, I have to tell you that the ninth metal isn't the ultimate metal in the Universe. I've once sensed another metal reaction that isn't inferior to it. It's a purer and more hopeful metal reaction, but unfortunately, I don't know its source."
"But according to my understanding, metal can't be the key to any problem. You have to understand that no matter how powerful a metal is, it is just a tool. How can a tool be the key to a problem? Only its user is the key! "
Eric held his daughter in his arms. He stood up and glanced at Saber:
"Can I go now?"
"Of course! You can leave at any time! "
Saber spread out his hands and unceremoniously took the small ball of Nth metal for himself. He looked at Magneto, who was as cold as ice, and said softly:
"You'd better live in seclusion, at least until I'm done with everything. Also, don't try to cause me any more trouble. I already have enough on my plate. Also, if it's convenient, when you leave, go to Gotham Airport and take those poor children with you. They're the future of the mutants with great potential. I don't think you'd want to miss this opportunity."
"Swoosh!"
Magneto's gaze suddenly turned back, and he looked at Saber:
"You didn't kill them?!"
"Of course not, my friend!"
Seiber shrugged his shoulders and replied without turning his head, "You're right.
"As you said, I'm also a Mutant. Although I'm a villain in your eyes, believe me, killing those children won't make me feel even the slightest bit of joy … As for the scene just now, it's just a little" magic "."
"If you cooperate enough, I don't think I need to use it … By the way, don't forget to say hello to Charles for me. By the way, tell him that the next time he dares to help those ignorant idiots, I won't be merciful anymore!"
(What the hell … Harem and Shangwen … They just don't know how to write emotional scenes …)
