Chapter 479
Polaris nodded. Doppelganger is just Doppelganger; she wouldn't consider the man in front of her as her biological father.
"Call out--"
In the blink of an eye, Su Quan and the other two appeared in the prison cell.
Yes, three people.
Su Quan, Polaris, and Professor Charles were there. As for the Beast? His relationship with Erik was so-so, so it didn't really matter whether he came or not.
Erik stood up with a surprised look on his face. "Charles... Su Quan... What a rare guest! I thought we would never see each other again."
"As for this one..."
Erik looked at the green-haired girl who was staring at him with a complicated expression, raised an eyebrow and said, "Who is she? I thought it would be Raven next to you."
Professor Charles remained silent, seemingly content to watch the show.
Su Quan glanced at Polaris but didn't say anything.
Erik sensed something was wrong with their unusual behavior. Could there be something special about this green-haired girl?
"It's not that they want to see me, it's that you want to see me, right?" Erik said.
Polaris nodded and took out a dark purple metal piece.
"This is the only birthday gift my father ever gave me, and for so many years I've hesitated about what to do with it. Now I know!"
Polaris spread his hands, and green Magneto-kinesis enveloped the metal plate, suspending it between himself and Erik.
"Come on, if you can take it, it's yours, and you'll be free!"
Magneto with metal in his hands is not the same as Magneto without metal...
Don't underestimate this small piece of metal. With it, Erik can easily fight his way out of here and soar freely in the sky!
Erik was surprised that the other party could also Control Magnetic Field, but he had experienced Su Quan's baptism before, so he was surprised but not completely surprised.
Compared to the other party's ability to Control Magnetic Field, he was more concerned about the chance to escape from here.
"May I have your name?"
"Lorna".
"Lorna, is it? I don't know why you challenged me to a match, but... I'm going to win!"
Erik smirked arrogantly. "Controlling metal? Heh, I don't control anyone..."
You disagree?
Not afraid?
A toad yawning—what a boastful tone!
Erik was interrupted by Su Quan's cough before he could finish speaking.
Okay, Su Quan can also control metal, and he's even stronger than me!
Erik changed the subject and continued, "I don't respect anyone except Su Quan!"
Polaris smiled slightly, "What a coincidence, me too!"
Erik reached out, and the azure Magneto-kinesis enveloped the metal sheet directly.
The blue and green Magneto-kinesis collided and clashed instantly.
The purple metal sheet swayed and wobbled in mid-air, pulled and tugged by two opposing forces.
Erik and Polaris both used one hand, and their expressions turned serious as soon as they clashed.
They are evenly matched, and neither can overpower the other!
"Who do you think will win?" Professor Charles asked Su Quan in a low voice.
"Lorna".
Regardless of the closeness of their relationship or their respective strengths, Su Quan believed that Lorna would definitely win.
Lorna's potential may not be as high as Erik's, but don't forget that Erik's current strength is not as astonishing as it seems before he was enhanced by Apocalypse.
Magneto-kinesis shields, controlling the Earth's magnetic field, and controlling tiny metals underground are not yet possible; otherwise, we would have already broken out of here.
Without metal around, even the most skilled cook can't cook without rice!
Moreover, having been confined here for so many years, he has had no opportunity to develop his abilities, meaning his current peak is probably only at the level of controlling the stadium.
In contrast, consider Polaris.
Although he started from a lower point Erik, he has been using and training his abilities continuously for the past twenty years. Even if he is not very smart, he should have improved by now, right?
Moreover, she is not stupid, and her talent and potential are not bad.
One remained stagnant, while the other continued to move forward. With this ebb and flow, Polaris was no longer weaker than Erik, and even surpassed Erik in terms of the control of her abilities.
After all, she was always by Su Quan's side, occasionally casting Weakening Aura or Amplification Aura. The changes in the strength of her abilities made her control even stronger and more adept.
Polaris would win more easily in an environment full of metal!
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
The blue-green Magneto-kinesis light seemed to divide the cell in two.
Judging from the light alone, there is more blue light and less green light, and the blue light is gradually pressing down on the green light.
However, the results showed the opposite.
The more blue light there is, the farther away the metal piece that the two sides are fighting for is from Erik; the less green light there is, the closer the metal piece is to Polaris.
At this moment, Erik's hands were aimed at the metal plate, veins bulging on his neck, and muscles twitching on his face as he stared intently at his target.
Not only were her eyes red, but tears were also flowing uncontrollably from them.
He was using emotions of sadness and anger to enhance his abilities.
This is a little trick he learned under Professor Charles's guidance!
His sudden outburst caused the metal shards near Polaris to fly over rapidly.
Polaris immediately increased its output to stabilize the metal plate, and then discovered that Erik was actually in tears.
Crying, you're crying?
Is it really necessary for you to go through all this trouble?
Besides, what's there to cry about? Even though you're locked up here, you have food and drink, and you're safe.
What about me?
Having lost their parents at a young age, they finally grew up, their Mutant Gene awakened, and they inherited your abilities, but became a freak who was discriminated against and isolated.
You are still alive, yet you refuse to acknowledge that you are my father, and you refuse to meet me.
How dare you cry?!
Polaris grew angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. Although she knew that Erik in front of her was just her father's Doppelganger, she could no longer control her manic-depressive emotions.
"Ah..." With a roar, frenzied Magneto-kinesis erupted from her body.
She kept one hand still, continuing to control the metal plate, while using the other hand to forcefully push Erik from a distance.
Erik hurriedly tried to defend himself, but the force of the eruption from Polaris was too violent, and his Magneto-kinesis was shattered as soon as he activated it.
"Bang!"
Erik was sent flying and crashed heavily into the wall.
"Smack!"
The metal shard in mid-air landed in Lorna's hand with a whoosh. Lorna gripped it tightly, panting heavily, and her gaze towards Erik gradually calmed down.
Erik slumped against the wall, grinning slightly, a mixture of disbelief and despair in his eyes.
He could accept that Su Quan was better than him, given their similar abilities.
After all, Su Quan is not human. He possesses so many abilities that any one of them would make Mutants with similar abilities.
Neither he nor Charles could match Su Quan's skills.
But the fact that this woman named Lorna was also stronger than him dealt a heavy blow to the usually arrogant Erik.
"It's not shameful for you to lose to her," Professor Charles said to Erik with a teasing expression.
Erik frowned as he stood up and glanced at Professor Charles, who was walking with ease. "Your injury is healed."
"Yes, it was earned with one's life," Professor Charles said with a smile.
This is no joke; it was truly earned with one's life.
If he hadn't died once, he would still be in a wheelchair.
Although many years had passed, Erik's familiarity and understanding of Charles had not diminished in the slightest.
Some people, even if they have known each other for a thousand years, can never become friends; while others, with just one glance, can become friends who would entrust their lives to each other.
Erik and Charles are like that; even though they are enemies, it's because of differing ideologies, not hatred, and they would never actually kill each other!
