Bab 55: The Battle
"Eric!"
Alex pointed towards Magneto, a wry smile on his face as he shouted, "Snag it, Magneto!"
"Snag a submarine?"
Eric shook his head and hollered, "It's too massive! I can't manage it."
"Eric, your power can move the earth itself! A submarine is nothing. Embrace the power of the earth; the magnetic field is all around us!"
Alex reached over, giving Eric a hearty pat on the shoulder. "Remember the days in that concentration camp, Eric. Believe in yourself! And let's fuck up that bastard Sebastian!"
"Alright!"
Emerging from the cabin, Eric stood on the plane's landing gear, facing the sea. Following the sound wave's direction, he stretched out his hand.
"AAAAAAAAAA!"
With a wild roar, a colossal magnetic storm erupted. The immense force lifted the submarine from the ocean floor, hauling the massive nuclear vessel from beneath the waves.
"Oh, my stars!"
On the sea, the officers and soldiers of both fleets were wide-eyed in disbelief at the spectacle.
One person lifting a submarine from the depths? What kind of terrifying power was this?
Mutants... they're a fearsome bunch!
Fear brewed anxiety. Fear cultivated hatred. Mutants were now seen as the ultimate enemy that must be eradicated!
Reports flooded the headquarters about the front-line situation. The two previously adversarial factions suddenly found common ground – mutants must be eliminated!
"Tempest!"
Ascending from the sea, the submarine hanging in mid-air, the cyclone opened its hatch as a figure emerged. With a swift motion of both hands, a tempest unleashed, sweeping towards the aircraft above.
The storm tossed the plane, sending it into a freefall.
The violent impact forced Eric to cling to the landing gear to avoid being thrown off. The submarine he had grabbed slipped from his grasp!
With a resounding crash, the submarine slammed heavily onto a nearby island.
Alex released his magnetic control, supporting the falling plane, and landed on the beach.
"Sebastian, face me!"
Eric bellowed, extending his hand to tear off the metal shell enclosing the submarine. Charging inside, Eric sought out Sebastian to settle the score.
"Whoosh!"
The crimson devil teleported, appearing behind Eric, brandishing a long knife to strike.
"Duck!"
A swift hand movement, a steel plate hurtled towards the red devil, propelling him into the air.
"Hey, look over yonder!"
Teleported in a rush, narrowly dodging the peril of being squashed by the iron plate, the Red Devil, never one to stay still for long, was suddenly met with a thunderous roar.
With a resounding "bang," a colossal fist adorned with blue hair collided with the Red Devil's head, sending him into a state of darkness as he tumbled to the ground.
"Storm..."
In the midst of preparing to unleash the storm's "cyclone," a sudden roar reverberated, causing eardrums to vibrate violently, brains to shake, and bodies to quiver uncontrollably.
"Take a tumble!"
Sonic exclaimed with a "pop" as the whirlwind staggered, dazed, shaking its head before succumbing to the effects of the "infrasound."
"Done! A simple skirmish!"
"Wow, that's downright impressive!"
Thumbs went up from the onlookers.
"Where's Sebastian? Anyone seen him?"
Grete burst out of the plane, seeking information from the group.
"Eric's having a chat with him."
Alex, nonchalant, gestured towards the nuclear submarine and uttered casually: "Let 'em chat at their own pace! No rush, we've got time!"
"Sebastian, show yourself!"
Eric bellowed, manipulating magnetic forces to disassemble the submarine. Metal pieces scattered, revealing Sebastian's whereabouts.
"Eric, power cabin! Sebastian's holed up in the power cabin!"
Observing Eric's systematic destruction, Alex, somewhat dumbfounded, used his psychic prowess to guide him.
"Power cabin?"
Eric swiveled, casting his gaze to the submarine's rear, clasped his hands together, and declared, "Break!"
Metal fragments flew, and the power cabin disassembled. Sebastian, gripping a nuclear fuel rod and absorbing its energy, emerged before Eric.
"Sebastian, meet your demise!"
Fury unleashed, Eric extended his hand, and steel plates soared like razor-sharp blades, slashing towards Sebastian.
"Eric?"
Sebastian lifted his head, exchanged a glance with Eric, grinned, released the fuel rod, allowing Eric's propelled steel plates to strike him.
"Can't you be a bit more cunning? You should realize your attacks mean nothing to me."
With a smile plastered on his face, Sebastian raised his palm, flicked his finger at Eric.
"Boom!"
A tremendous force erupted, slamming into Eric, sending him flying.
Sebastian, charged with immense nuclear energy, held power comparable to a humanoid nuclear bomb. Every gesture emanated tremendous power, rendering Eric powerless against a mere snap.

Bab 56: Betrayal
Sebastian shot Eric a sidelong glance, drawling as he shook his head and let out a hefty sigh. "You planning to stop me? Think you can stand in my way? Risk it all for those sorry, low-rank humans? You're playin' a dangerous game, Eric."
As he spoke, Sebastian sauntered toward Eric, his boots thudding on the metallic floor.
"I am nothing like you, murderer."
Eric let out a roar and swung his hand, a deafening screech racing across the vast steel beams in the submarine, forming a barrier against Sebastian.
"Is that the best you got?"
Sebastian curled his lip in mockery, paying no mind to the steel barricade. He pressed on, and with each step, the metal beams contorted as if some colossal force was bending them at his will.
"I am gonna kill you bastard."
Eric bellowed, channeling magnetic forces to bolster his defense, yet Sebastian persisted, pushing him back relentlessly.
"Your resistance is futile! Your strength is as feeble as a mouse's squeak! Can you really stand up to me? Can you lay a finger on me?"
Sebastian sneered, reaching out to grab Eric by the neck, hoisting him into the air.
"You've made a misstep. I don't need to harm you at all!"
Eric, suspended by Sebastian's grip, showed no sign of fear. Instead, a smirk graced his face. "All I need to do is snatch that fancy helmet of yours!"
"Huh?"
Sebastian was caught off guard as a cable snaked behind him, yanking his helmet off in a swift motion, exposing his head.
"Om..."
A torrent of psychic power flooded Sebastian's mind, rendering him under Charles's influence in an instant.
Helpless, Sebastian hung mid-air, petrified by the mental stranglehold.
Eric shot a triumphant look at Sebastian, his tone filled with anger. "Go to hell and answer for your sins!" With a sweeping gesture, a steel pipe shot forth, puncturing Sebastian's skull.
Sebastian, in the grip of psychic domination, couldn't muster the use of "Energy Absorption." Eric swiftly put an end to him with a single decisive blow.
"AAAAAAA…"
Charles clutched his head, unleashing a tortured roar as pain coursed through him.
Charles bore Sebastian's agony as if it were his own.
"This initiative is yours to seize control of Sebastian."
A sly grin played on Alex's lips as he concealed his delight. "You want control, yet you hesitate. Feeling the weight now, aren't you?"
"Eric, don't succumb to the shadows of hatred. Eric..."
Charles sensed an unsettling shift in Eric's actions and moved to intervene, only to discover that Eric's thoughts were now beyond his reach.
Inside the submarine's power compartment, Eric cast aside the lifeless Sebastian, his gaze cold as he surveyed the sea. With a determined expression, he removed his helmet and placed it upon his head.
"Charles, your approach is flawed! The war has commenced! It's a battle between humanity and Mutants! Only by defeating them can Mutants secure a future!"
Eric inhaled deeply, his eyes flickering towards Sebastian.
"Sebastian's notion isn't entirely baseless. Despite being a contemptible executor, his vision of forging a future for Mutants is fundamentally correct!"
Yes, fight for the future of Mutants!
A sense of duty welled within Eric as he lifted his head, exited the submarine, and joined the assembly of onlookers.
"Sebastian is no more!"
Eric stared vacantly at the crowd, extending his hand towards the sea, pointing to two distant fleets. "But our peril is far from over! Humans—those treacherous beings—have turned against us. They're launching an assault!"
"Humans are at war with us! Whose side are you on?"
Eric surveyed the gathering, raised his arm, and posed the question with a chilling tone. "Will you fight for the ruthless humans planning our slaughter, or will you stand with me in the battle for our survival and future?"
"Humans attacking us?"
The revelation stunned everyone.
"This can't be!"
Grete exclaimed in disbelief.
"No! It's not possible!"
Charles echoed the sentiment.
"I can sense their artillery is aimed at us already."
Eric scoffed, declaring, "Charles, are you still in denial? Can't you feel it? They've declared war on us!"
"Boom!"
From the distant sea, the naval guns thundered!
Artillery erupted into the sky as both fleets simultaneously launched their assault.
Shells and missiles, densely packed and overwhelming, initiated a carpet bombing precisely where Alex and the others were situated.
