章 586: A Fateful Encounter
Eric clearly did not know Sebastian Shaw well enough and was unaware that Shaw also possessed superpowers and had gathered a group of mutant companions.
Caught off guard by the blonde beauty's psychic attack, Erik Lehnsherr instantly fell to one knee in pain, clutching his head as painful memories from his past forcibly resurfaced in his mind.
Miscalculated!
Watching this, the Eric Lehnsherr outside the screen squinted his eyes. Although he had been tracking Sebastian Shaw's whereabouts for years, the clues left by Shaw were scarce. As a result, he lacked a certain understanding of his mother's killer, leading to a degree of underestimation.
Over the years, as he grew older, Erik Lehnsherr gradually mastered his abilities and slowly realized how powerful his extraordinary abilities were, which inevitably led to some arrogance. This pride partly explained the unexpected outcome of his revenge. Another reason was that Sebastian Shaw, that bastard, was indeed difficult to deal with!
In the video, despite the immense psychic pressure, Erik Lehnsherr managed to hurl a sharp dagger at Sebastian Shaw. However, the blonde beauty intercepted it with her hand. Not only could she manipulate psychic attacks, but she could also transform her body into diamond, making it impervious to most physical attacks. With one palm, she knocked Erik Lehnsherr into the water.
But Sebastian Shaw stopped her from taking further action, shaking his head and saying, "Emma, we cannot harm our own kind."
Clearly, by "our own kind," he meant mutants. Even though Erik Lehnsherr tried to assassinate him, Shaw was willing to spare him as long as he was a mutant. This leniency might also be one reason Erik Lehnsherr survived in the ** concentration camp.
Sebastian Shaw's group easily repelled Erik Lehnsherr, but they had to face another group that night. Boats appeared in the distant sea, calling out as they approached. Undoubtedly, this was part of Charles Xavier's plan. However, when Charles Xavier tried to locate the group using telepathy, he found his ability blocked as if it had hit a wall.
The blonde beauty, Emma, who was with Sebastian Shaw, also possessed similar abilities and had constructed a "firewall" to block Charles Xavier's probing. Knowing now was not the time to start a conflict with the authorities, Sebastian Shaw called for a quick escape.
Underwater, Erik Lehnsherr, not wanting to watch his enemy escape, spotted a heavy anchor nearby. With an angry shout, he activated his powers, and the massive anchor seemed to "awaken," moving like a giant snake or the claw of a sea monster. It swung through the air and smashed towards the ship!
Meanwhile, on the government boat, Charles Xavier suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and sensed Erik Lehnsherr's presence.
In the video, the heavy anchor, dragging its thick chain, swept across and tore off the upper deck of the ship, leaving chaos inside. Faced with such violent attacks, Sebastian Shaw and his companions fled in panic. They had a submarine hidden in the ship's lower deck and quickly boarded it to escape.
One could say that, as a former ** executioner, Shaw was adept at hiding. The ships Charles Xavier brought couldn't track the submarine, so they had to give up. But Erik Lehnsherr was not willing to let it go. He dived underwater, saw the submarine, and desperately tried to intercept it with his powers.
Erik Lehnsherr's earlier display of controlling the massive anchor was already shocking, but unfortunately, he couldn't stop the full-speed submarine. Despite this, fueled by revenge, he refused to give up, sinking underwater and giving his all to stop Shaw.
However, the submarine remained unmoved. Charles Xavier, who could sense Erik's rage, knew that if Erik didn't let go, he would drown. While shouting for help, Xavier ran towards the ship's side, but the others on board didn't understand his urgency.
With no other option, Charles Xavier jumped into the water himself, swimming quickly towards Erik Lehnsherr. He grabbed Erik from behind, desperately dragging him to the surface while continuously persuading him, "Let it go. I know this is important to you, but continuing will kill you! Please, Erik, calm down!"
Under his persuasion and psychic influence, Erik Lehnsherr finally relented, and the two surfaced together. Erik shouted, "Who are you? Why are you in my mind?"
Charles Xavier's unique ability allowed him to read others' memories and feelings like watching a movie and to project his consciousness into others' minds.
The first meeting between Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier seemed quite positive, leaving a good impression on both. Charles Xavier kept reassuring Erik, "You are not alone, Erik."
Watching this, some viewers felt that the interaction between the two seemed quite intimate. However, they couldn't help but be amazed and impressed by the abilities of Charles and Erik. Mutants possessed various extraordinary powers, but from what they had seen, Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr's abilities were definitely among the top.
The scene shifted to Erik Lehnsherr following Charles Xavier to a CIA base. Sharing a common enemy and both being mutants, they naturally banded together for support. There, they met another mutant, Hank McCoy, a researcher in a lab coat.
Charles Xavier immediately saw through Hank's nature, causing some embarrassment for Hank as he had been hiding his mutant identity.
Outside the screen, Erik Lehnsherr squinted his eyes. "Charles can sense if people around him are mutants… That's a very important ability."
Logan Howlett commented with interest, "He has many abilities, unlike yours which is more singular."
