As Magneto appeared, Coulson's mind buzzed, feeling like the whole world was against him.
"Why is Magneto here?!"
A thousand Xenomorphs were doing somersaults in Coulson's mind.
Magneto was definitely a top-tier dangerous element globally, and an extreme racist at that, with a penchant for killing. Even a simple outing from him could trigger worldwide tension.
No one wanted to see this tough guy, who could withstand a nuclear bomb or easily overturn mountains and create tsunamis, start a fight over some incident. That would be a disaster.
"Contact Professor X. Whatever happens, we need to prepare for the worst," Fury's voice sounded through the comms. "My gut tells me this is Duval's doing again. Why is he so close to Magneto?"
Coulson thought for a moment, "There's no evidence to prove Duval isn't a Mutant. Maybe his ability to create and control Xenomorphs comes from the X-Gene."
"Whether he is or not, we have to treat him as if he is not. Contact the X-Men. I don't trust them, but we have no other choice," Fury's voice conveyed a sense of gravity.
He didn't know why, but since Duval appeared, the pressure on him had increased significantly.
At this moment, Coulson suddenly said, "Magneto has stopped. He's not attacking! But that might not be a good thing..."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because Duval's expression has become very strange."
"That's definitely a big deal. What exactly is happening on the scene?" Fury nodded, realizing that things were truly becoming serious.
Coulson observed carefully, "A lot of electromagnetic interference is disrupting the signal. The picture is intermittent."
Several Eternals were also having a headache.
Even the extremely confident muscleman Gilgamesh cast an uneasy glance while wrestling with the Deviants Leader.
They hid their identities, quietly observing human society, and were well aware of Magneto's power.
"Erik, we are not enemies," Ajak used the same rhetoric, but these words seemed even more feeble in the face of reality.
Magneto looked indifferent, "You old geezers killed my subordinates and now you're telling me it was all a misunderstanding?"
Ajak opened her mouth, a deep sense of helplessness on her face.
Indeed, some time ago in Alaska, if they hadn't been in a hurry to rescue Ikaris, they wouldn't have revealed themselves, let alone taken action, leading to Juggernaut being captured by the Deviants.
Magneto coldly looked down at the scene. Very good, all the damned guys were gathered.
But now, something else was attracting him more.
"A hammer?"
Magneto wasn't in a hurry to attack, examining Thunder God's Hammer with interest. He keenly sensed an unusual power.
"So this is Mjolnir, the divine weapon wielded by Thor in the myths, but it seems the mighty Thunder God can't even lift his own weapon?"
Magneto hadn't personally experienced the battle just now, but with his experience and wisdom, he could roughly guess what had happened with just a glance at Thor, who was staring back at him with surprise and dejection, and a few exchanged glances with Duval.
There was no doubt that Thor had come to Earth, but this blond hunk in medieval clothes was conspicuous no matter how you looked at it.
Thor looked at Magneto fearlessly.
Another strongman? Duval, the Eternals, and now another guy who can interfere with the weather and exudes a powerful aura. This was completely different from the Midgard he understood. Wasn't this supposed to be the world of mortals? Why were all sorts of strongmen popping up one after another?
Thor should have felt excitement and shame, but he didn't.
"You want to lift my hammer too? Give up. My father put a spell on it. Even I can't do it, let alone a mortal," Thor lowered his head.
Duval considerately advised, "If it were someone else, I'd believe they couldn't lift it, but it's hard to say with him, because his ability is to control magnetism."
Magnetism?
Thor looked puzzled.
"He controls magnetism, which means he controls all metals, and your hammer is made of metal," Duval said.
"This is an unprecedented strange metal." Magneto reached out, aiming at Mjolnir.
*Rumble!*
Terrifying magnetic force erupted, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in an instant, the ground shook violently, and cracks burst out, spreading rapidly.
Countless grains of sand floated in the air.
Under Thor's incredulous gaze, Magneto... actually lifted Thunder God's Hammer!
Thick dark clouds seemed to envelop the entire space-time, faintly brewing terrifying fluctuations.
Everyone was stunned. Those who knew the characteristics of Thunder God's Hammer and what it meant understood how outrageous this scene was.
Even across the Nine Realms, this was an earth-shattering feat!
Magneto, an extremist with radical ideas, the world's biggest destabilizing factor, actually lifted Thunder God's Hammer?!
At that moment, even the Deviants Leader stood still, watching Magneto grab Thunder God's Hammer from afar. Without hesitation, he turned to flee.
Unfortunately, wanting to leave now meant paying a painful price, because Magneto, learning from his lesson in Alaska, had already set up a terrifying energy field around the area, one that could withstand a high-yield nuclear explosion!
"Just as I expected, your magnetic force can also control Uru metal." Duval looked up at the sky, his entire figure illuminated by electric light, without any surprise, but rather a look of realization.
Magneto lifting Thunder God's Hammer, upon closer thought, wasn't that unexpected.
"So this metal is called Uru?" Magneto opened his hand, controlling the hammer to float in front of him, and grabbed it.
"Uru is the core raw material for manufacturing divine artifacts, possessing the characteristics of bearing and conducting Godly Power. It's a sought-after commodity among the various God races in the universe."
Under gazes of astonishment and shock, Duval spoke eloquently, his composure as if he were chatting with an old friend.
"God race?" Magneto scoffed.
His gaze shifted, and he saw the Deviants Leader trying to break through the magnetic field. He immediately aimed and threw Thunder God's Hammer out.
Boom! The hammer struck the Deviants Leader head-on, sending the guy flying.
However, for some reason, the killing effect didn't seem strong, and there was no bombardment of thunder and lightning as people had expected.
"You didn't truly lift my hammer; you're just using brute force to control it!" Thor's eyes lit up slightly, feeling a little better. "You don't possess Mjolnir's Godly Power at all."
"You're right. I don't care about the Godly Power of the Asgardians. I just need it as a hard metal block." Magneto thought for a moment, then manually created a large area of lightning with magnetic force and bombarded down, looking even more like Thor than Thor himself.
Having already mastered one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, he really had no interest in the Godly Power limited to the Asgardian lineage.
In his hands, Thunder God's Hammer was simply a "stone" used to smash people.
"Then, whether it's the Eternals or the Deviants, die here." Magneto's cold voice echoed in all directions.
"Killing them is a waste. Try to cripple them and leave them to me," Duval said.
Magneto controlled the hammer, accompanied by terrifying magnetic force, and the field was constantly shrinking, compressing the living space of the Eternals and Deviants.
Ajak's face twitched, revealing deep helplessness. She didn't expect things to turn out this way. She looked at Duval: "Is this what you wanted to see? Did you know it would turn out like this?"
"Don't misunderstand. I don't have the ability to predict the future; I'm just going with the flow." Duval shook his head, his eyes fixed on Ajak. "Anyway, in your plan, humans will die in the end, so whatever I do is reasonable."
Ajak opened her mouth, but what could she say? Could she say that she had pity for humans in her heart and was hesitating whether to betray the Celestials? "Just watch honestly. Thor, the masters behind these Eternals are the cosmic gods who once made your father taste defeat." Duval patted Thor on the shoulder, saying in a voice only Thor could hear.
In that instant, a deep look of horror appeared on Thor's face. He finally understood why Odin was so concerned about this group of Eternals. So it involved cosmic gods?
God-King Odin, had he once been defeated by these unknown gods?
"If that's the case, I understand. No wonder Father wouldn't tell me the reason, no wonder he was full of anger and disappointment towards me..." Thor's face was pale.
He thought that Duval might be lying to him, but after thinking about it, what else could Duval lie to him about? His identity? He was just a mortal now. His power? He couldn't even lift Thunder God's Hammer.
Magneto began to indiscriminately unleash his power, ravaging the entire desert, with frequent storms and earthquakes, creating an apocalyptic scene.
Ajak had no choice. She realized that participating in this battle was a mistake. She originally wanted to clear up the misunderstanding, but she didn't expect to attract Magneto, causing things to turn out this way.
"If we continue fighting, even if we can kill Erik, there will be casualties. This is not what I want to see." Ajak looked pained, believing that she had made a major command error.
But there was no time for her to repent. She, Gilgamesh, and Makkari stood together, having to do their best to resist Magneto's attacks.
Gilgamesh was fine, but Makkari was extremely powerful. Relying on her amazing speed, she turned into countless afterimages, running at high speed and constantly tearing apart the magnetic field, giving Magneto a punch the moment he started to move.
The few remaining Deviants also gathered together, trying to find an opportunity to break through the field. Even though they were repeatedly hit by Thunder God's Hammer, and the Deviants other than the leader were injured, they didn't give up.
"What a wonderful battle. Well, now, I don't have to worry about anything anymore." Duval's gaze moved, finally landing on the three Eternals.
Queen was dispatched.
This giant Xenomorph wearing a crown, reaching an astonishing four and a half meters in height, was comparable to the Abomination Xenomorph. Every line on her slender form seemed to have been carefully calculated, brewing the ultimate smoothness and the exquisite beauty of the golden ratio.
Even from a human perspective, one would be amazed by this Xenomorph.
What's more, the Queen didn't conceal her aura, bursting forth like a Shura emerging from a slaughterhouse.
This was the Queen's first appearance, and it was impossible to ignore her.
"This is... the king of this race?" Thor said softly.
In the distance, Loki, who was fighting Kaecilius, also stopped and looked over in surprise. He immediately abandoned his opponent, used magic, and tried to enter the battlefield.
He had also seen the Queen, knowing that this was the lurking Xenomorph he had sensed before, but he didn't expect that after releasing her aura, she would be like this.
"So this one is the king. Her ability to hide her aura is very strong, but her strength doesn't seem to be much stronger than the big Xenomorph," Loki thought with some regret.
Kaecilius was even more so. His goal was to seize the Xenomorphs and offer them to Dormammu. What could be more telling than capturing the Queen? In an instant, the battle that should have been Magneto going all out against many enemies became chaotic.
Whether it was Loki or Kaecilius, even if they were somewhat battered from their mutual consumption, their hard power could not be underestimated. Either one of them could stand out as a formidable enemy that Magneto had to deal with at full strength.
Not to mention, these two used magic to violently clear the way, forcibly tearing open gaps in Magneto's domineering energy field.
The originally stable field immediately became chaotic. Several different forces bombarded each other, erupting with destructive power. Mountains and rocks turned into dust, matter decomposed into energy, and as far as the eye could see, within the field's coverage, the ground collapsed layer by layer, quickly disappearing, and magma began to splatter and flow from the earth.
"Bastard!" Magneto roared in anger. He had finally blocked the Eternals and the Deviants, and now someone was interfering!
He glanced over. One should be the Black Magic User Kaecilius, and the other should be an Asgardian, and this Asgardian was staring straight at the Thunder God's Hammer he was wielding.
"You mortals are worthy to defile the weapons of the gods?" Loki's eyes flashed fiercely, with a sense of humiliation.
A Midgardian actually lifted the weapon that he and Thor couldn't lift? It was simply absurd! The Nine Realms would not allow such awesome mortals to exist!
"Loki? My brother, why are you here?!" Thor was overjoyed and was about to rush out.
Duval held him down and said, "He's not here for you. He wanted to lift the Thunder God's Hammer himself just now. Now he's just furious because something that should have belonged to him was taken away. Besides, with your current strength, you won't be able to walk a few steps before being torn apart by this violent energy field."
"What nonsense are you talking about? That's my brother, he would protect me with his life!"
"Are you sure he wants to protect you more, or kill you more? His current actions are clearly to kill you. Your current strength is too weak, even if he is doing it for your own good, you can't bear it. The great Thunder God has now become the murderer who binds his brother."
Duval took out a new Xenomorph egg from his carefully protected travel bag and whispered to the impatient and impulsive Thor in a devilish voice, "Do you want power? I'll explain it again, my power doesn't conflict with your Godly Power at all. If you can get back your Godly Power in the future and control both powers, you will only be stronger than you were in the past. If you want to help your brother, if you want to fight alongside Loki, instead of being a burden that only deserves to be protected by him, then accept my gift."
As Thor's face darkened, the Xenomorph egg bloomed like a brilliant flower.
