Black and red viral tentacles slowly crawled along Chen Mo's wrist.
Charles raised his hands, and an invisible force of thought quickly spread out, creating a barrier between the group.
"Wait, there's no need for us to continue fighting."
His voice came again.
There was no threat, no mind control. Charles restrained his power as much as possible, only wanting to send out a clear thought.
He wanted to talk, at least to figure out what the other party really wanted.
But just as this spiritual force approached Chen Mo, a terrifying repulsion came from in front of him. Countless chaotic consciousnesses flashed through Charles's perception, then transformed into a surging wave that crashed head-on into his mind.
Charles swayed, and blood flowed from his nostrils.
Erik reached out and put his hand on his shoulder.
" Charles, stop messing with his mind."
"But Erik, he can still communicate, we have to try."
"Don't be naive, Charles."
Erik stared at the bloodshot veins protruding from Chen Mo's palm, his voice low, "I've seen that look in his eyes before."
Charles wiped the blood from under his nose. "Where?"
"This is how Butcher look at pigs in the slaughterhouse."
Several pieces of metal fell silently at their feet.
The magnetic field lifted their bodies, slowly moving backward along the muddy ground. Erik still raised his hands, the iron filings surrounding him vibrating constantly, striking a pose as if ready to fight to the death at any moment.
We must fight to the end.
Charles glanced at him, and then the two of them floated back about ten meters.
Chen Mo saw all of this but didn't rush to expose it.
Simultaneously delivering threats and fleeing, this future Magneto has already mastered essential adult skills.
On the other hand, Siegfried did not choose to retreat.
He ripped off the shattered breastplate, revealing crisscrossing experimental marks on his chest. Those marks penetrated deep into his flesh, flashing with each heartbeat.
"The warriors of the Empire will never flee."
Golden-blue energy surged from his body, instantly evaporating the nearby mud and water. The blood vessels under his skin gradually bulged, his muscles forcefully broke through the body's original limitations, and his bones emitted a series of crisp cracking sounds.
His figure grew taller rapidly.
The tattered helmet was pushed aside by the swollen head, and fragments fell into the mud at his feet.
"I'll keep you here until reinforcements arrive."
"Are there reinforcements?"
Chen Mo's eyes lit up. "You should have said so earlier! I love it when the other side has reinforcements."
Siegfried bent down, stretched his right leg forward, and raised both arms.
"I am Siegfried, remember this name."
A violent gust of wind swept by, and the golden-blue light left a straight trail, covering hundreds of meters in a single step. Siegfried's overloaded, massive body was in front of Chen Mo in the blink of an eye, his originally solemn face now showing bulging veins, making him look like a demon.
His right fist, crackling with energy, hurtled straight at Chen Mo's face.
Chen Mo raised his hand and caught it.
boom!
A white shockwave exploded around the two, sweeping away all the dust in the air. The ground below could not withstand the overflowing force and collapsed in large sections.
Before the wind had even died down, the two figures had become countless blurry afterimages. In the instant of their collision, Chen Mo and Siegfried launched a fierce and relentless attack.
Fists and feet clashed, legs flew, and the two sides fought fiercely, tearing apart the already ravaged and scorched earth.
Siegfried's right arm remained suspended in mid-air, while his left foot had already stepped into Chen Mo's side.
He twisted his waist, his knee carrying compressed energy as it slammed into Chen Mo's abdomen. The patterns on his kneecaps lit up, the golden-blue light contracting into a single point, ready to pour into the opponent's body the instant of contact.
"Got you!"
"What a coincidence."
Chen Mo gripped his knee with her five fingers. "Me too."
Before Siegfried could detonate the energy, his vision suddenly flipped.
Chen Mo grabbed his leg and slammed him down onto the ground.
Boom!
Siegfried's upper body was completely buried in the mud, and water mixed with gravel rushed outwards.
Chen Mo didn't let go, and pulled him out again, slamming him to the other side.
The second impact overturned the surrounding soil, and the earth shrank again amidst continuous groans, revealing mottled rock layers.
Siegfried pressed his hands to the ground, suddenly exerting force from his waist and abdomen, and swept his other leg across Chen Mo's neck. Chen Mo ducked to avoid it, and a fist immediately landed on his side.
The sound of bones breaking rang out.
Siegfried coughed up blood, using the force of the punch to create distance. He had just regained his balance in mid-air when Chen Mo appeared in front of him.
A knee strike landed on his abdomen.
The golden-blue protective shield suddenly caved in, Siegfried arched his body, spitting out a mouthful of blood. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and in mid-air, he simultaneously slammed both fists into Chen Mo's back.
However, before the fist could land, Chen Mo grabbed his head and swooped down from the air with him.
The two fell to the ground.
The rock strata ripped upwards, and the surrounding ground collapsed completely upon impact. The cyborgs nearby retreated in panic, not even daring to raise their guns.
Siegfried rolled to his feet from the rubble and punched behind him.
Chen Mo dodged to the side, and the palm strike cut his elbow. The joint snapped in the opposite direction on the spot.
"A little lacking in strength, a little lacking in speed, and a little lacking in reaction time."
Chen Mo grabbed his severed arm and pulled him in front of him, "You guys in the Glory Class, the name sounds impressive, but your actual skills aren't that great."
Siegfried's forehead collided with Chen Mo's nose.
Chen Mo turned his head and punched through his energy shield. The fist grazed his cheek, and half of the helmet flew off.
With each flash of golden-blue light, another wound appeared on Siegfried's body. All his attacks were blocked, and even when they occasionally hit Chen Mo, they couldn't leave a mark on the black and red armor.
Siegfried staggered backward.
His body had accumulated very little energy over the years; most of his bones were shattered, and his internal organs were being damaged by the continuous blows. If the fighting continued, he wouldn't last even ten seconds.
But he had one last option.
Siegfried suddenly opened his arms.
The golden and blue patterns scattered throughout the limbs and torso all turned towards the chest, the remaining energy being compressed wildly. Intense light penetrated the skin, and the surrounding air began to distort.
"For the glory of the empire!"
The German officer who was fleeing in the distance suddenly changed his expression.
"Get down!"
The soldiers jumped into the lower ground, while the cyborgs turned and fled.
Charles also felt that energy.
He's going to self-destruct!
Erik controlled the metal to accelerate backward, while several layers of Iron Wall rose behind the two of them.
Chen Mo stood in front of Siegfried, staring at the increasingly dazzling light emanating from his chest.
"If you can't beat them, you flip the table. Your professionalism is quite in line with the team's style."
Siegfried grinned, revealing his blood-stained mouth.
"Come to hell with me."
"No, I have a girl waiting to pay the bill."
Chen Mo took a step forward.
Siegfried's chest skin suddenly split open, and two hands covered in black and red armor probed directly into it. Before the gathered energy could explode, it was forcibly torn into several strands, which surged towards Chen Mo along the black and red blood vessels.
Siegfried's pupils contracted.
"You..."
Shh, don't talk when it's time to eat.
The Blacklight Virus has fully erupted.
Dense blood vessels burrowed into Siegfried's flesh, binding his limbs and torso. The golden-blue energy extinguished one after another, and the intense light on his chest was quickly swallowed up.
He tried to break free, but his arms were firmly wrapped in the black and red substance.
More flesh and blood surged from Chen Mo's palm, enveloping him from head to toe, eventually forming a constantly shrinking cocoon of flesh.
The fleshy cocoon struggled violently a few times.
There was no sound from inside.
The next second, the entire cocoon collapsed rapidly, flowing back along Chen Mo's arm and completely merging into his body.
No trace of Siegfried's existence can be found on the battlefield.
Chen Mo looked down at his palm.
A completely new energy structure is being broken down and reorganized within the Blacklight Virus, and Siegfried's memories are unfolding as a result.
This meal was somewhat nutritious.
He brushed the dirt off his hands and turned to look into the distance.
Erik and Charles had retreated several hundred meters away.
Chen Mo smiled.
"You're already thinking of leaving?"
His voice traveled across the entire battlefield and clearly reached the ears of the two men.
"Your subsidies haven't been settled yet."
