Chapter 354 Revenge
"It has to be you, Magneto." Connors gave Magneto a thumbs up. "You even managed to steal the power of the Celestials."
Magneto's old face twitched again; he sensed that this was the only person present who made him somewhat wary.
Their psychological state is completely unfathomable.
Regardless, the blood and body fragments from Scott's explosion successfully triggered Hope's emotional reaction, and the "Phoenix Force" was already showing signs of spiraling out of control.
"Connors! The Phoenix is getting out of control! It wants to destroy everything! I can't stop it!"
"Hope cried out anxiously, her voice already trembling with tears, as she stretched out a hand towards Connors, her entire body engulfed in flames:
"Help me! Please! Do what you just did!"
Upon hearing this, Connors immediately flew towards Hope, but a magnetic field interwoven with blue and purple separated them. "Magneto" Erik grabbed Hope's hand, his expression already turning ferocious:
"Let me take away your pain!"
At that very moment, Connors suddenly heard a voice that did not belong to the real world. He listened carefully and exclaimed in surprise:
"The Celestials have already wiped out all the 'Observers' and are on their way here?"
On Earth, the Avengers and mutants are locked in a fierce battle over the "Phoenix Force," and now a "Magneto" who has been in the works for who knows how long has he been preparing?
In the universe, Connors's threat to the Celestials to capture the Watchers was also proceeding simultaneously, even faster than what happened on Earth.
At this moment, 1,265 Celestials, either escorting the "Observer" or providing protection, were rushing towards Connors' location.
With the observers captured, the only remaining task for this universe is for "Wanda" to kill Reed of the multiverse in one fell swoop. Connors counted on his fingers.
Unlike his relaxed demeanor, the other Avengers and mutants floating in the air all wore grim expressions.
They realized they had to stop Magneto, otherwise, compared to the simple-minded Hope, Magneto, who was focused on rebuilding the Earth, would be in even greater danger if he obtained the Phoenix.
But they were floating in the air with no foothold, and their will was not enough.
"Tony! Think of something! Is your armor still usable?"
"Eagle Eye! Where's the grappling hook?!"
"Stone Man! Come any closer and throw me out!"
Captain America shouted urgently.
However, none of the three tasks could be accomplished. Iron Man's suit had already lost most of its functionality after the destruction of the Phoenix Armor, and Hawkeye had used up all his arrows in order to deal with the White Queen.
The Thing, however, struggled in the air for a long time, pretending to swim, but always fell just two meters short of Captain America.
Just as the Avengers were at their wits' end, Iron Man suddenly turned his head and looked in another direction:
"Wait, Captain—we still have Hulk!"
In addition, there is another person, Hulk, who had previously fought with Colossus on the far side of the moon. He rushed back after discovering that something had changed in the artificial environment. He didn't understand what had happened, but he realized that if Magneto continued, things would get worse.
"Boom!"
With a sound comparable to a cannonball, Hulk, who was also floating in the air due to the gravity being canceled out by Magneto's magnetic field, pushed off with both feet.
With no foothold in the air, Hulk used his immense strength and speed to propel himself towards Magneto in a sonic boom.
Hulk's speed is undeniably fast, but it's still a step slower than the long-planned Magneto.
Suddenly, Magneto Erik, who was originally surrounded by magnetic fields, burst into flames, and the orange-red flames in his eyes even showed the shape of electric arcs.
He grabbed his helmet and crushed it, manipulating the fragments into four spiral spikes, with flames trailing long tails behind them as they hurtled toward the Hulk.
Several soft popping sounds rang out as Hulk's palms and soles were pierced, pinning him to the lunar surface.
Then came a series of clicking sounds as Magneto Erik canceled the counterforce against the moon's gravity, causing the Avengers and mutants to slowly fall.
They were all healed by Connors' "healing magic" as soon as he appeared, but now everyone looked at each other with mixed feelings as they looked at "Magneto" who was covered in flames.
Even Hulk had his palm pierced by this guy and pinned to the moon, so what could they do?
Magneto released Hope, letting her slowly fall towards the lunar surface, while his own body burst into flames.
The magnetic field and flames merged, and golden wings unfurled behind Magneto, making the white-haired old man look like a god.
Magneto opened his arms, stealing a portion of the Celestial's power and gaining the Phoenix Force. He felt unprecedentedly powerful at that moment:
"The Phoenix Force is mine now! This is the power Jean Grey has displayed, a power Hope could not control—..."
"I am the embodiment of fire and life, and this power will accompany me from now until forever."
"I am the Magneto King, I am the Phoenix!"
Buzz!
A vibranium shield flew diagonally and struck Magneto's face before bouncing back steadily.
Captain America catches the shield, and behind him are the Avengers, the mutants, and the superheroes who are still protecting the world on the moon, which has been abandoned by Earth.
"The Avengers Assemble!"
"Hulk!"
Hulk gritted his teeth and pulled his hand off the spiral spikes. He licked the green blood from his palm, and extreme anger caused a lot of white steam to come out of his ears and nostrils. His muscles bulged and burst through his already barely-fitting clothes.
Hulk charged out first, followed by Namor flying in the air with his trident, Captain America with his round shield, Hawkeye making a bow and arrow on the spot while running, the White Queen, Colossus, the Thing, the giant Ant-Man, and Wolverine.
They knew they were no match for Magneto, but they also knew that even if they died one after another in battle, more and more superheroes would come to avenge Magneto.
They are the "Avengers".
The only ones who didn't rush out were "Magic", Hope, and Connors.
"Genius" Iliana held the unconscious Hope in her arms. She watched as the Avengers rushed forward one by one, only to be thrown away one by one. Just as she was about to ask Connors for help, she suddenly noticed that the moon, which had left the solar system, had lit up again.
The light source was coming from above. Iliana looked up and saw that in the vast universe, one or two "Gods"—more than a thousand beings whose size was almost comparable to the entire moon—had descended.
