Chapter 129: Teaming Up to Farm Apocalypse

"Dad, Mom..."

Little Nina was held in Magneto’s arms. Looking at her mother lying on the ground in the distance, her body trembled slightly.

"She has gone to heaven. The people who killed her will see hell."

Magneto looked back at his dead wife, and the joy he had felt because his daughter had survived vanished in an instant.

"Do you need me to help lay her to rest?"

Orion Cross walked up behind the two of them and asked.

Magneto carried his daughter to his wife’s body, looked at her one last time, then raised his head toward Orion Cross. "Please."

The guards had recognized him, so they carried no metal on them. Even their badges had been removed, and the weapons they used were pure wooden bows and arrows.

The surroundings were also a forest. Magneto could not find any metal in such a short time, which was why this tragedy had happened.

When a mutant’s ability and appearance became known to the whole world, in a certain sense, that was also a form of weakening, because anyone could target your weakness.

Orion Cross waved his hand, and the soil beneath Magneto’s wife instantly turned into sand, wrapping around her to form a sturdy sand coffin.

The sand coffin slowly sank underground, and a tombstone condensed above it.

"You decide what to carve on it."

After Orion Cross finished all this, he walked aside and opened a path.

"Thank you."

The necklace in Magneto’s hand, the one that had killed all the guards, flew out and carved his wife’s name onto the tombstone.

After a brief hesitation, Magneto directly withdrew the necklace.

His name was now known throughout the world. If someone discovered this place, it might instead disturb her peace.

"What are you planning to do now?"

Orion Cross turned his hand and turned the dead guards on the ground into yellow sand, then asked.

"Send those ingrates to hell."

Magneto placed his hand on his daughter’s shoulder. "Nina, come with me to avenge your mother."

"But the people who killed Mom have already turned into sand, haven’t they?"

Nina wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and pointed at the sand that would scatter with a single gust of wind.

"No. The ones who truly killed her are someone else."

Magneto glanced at Orion Cross and slowly spoke. "I worked at a smelting plant. I wanted to be an ordinary man. Yesterday, a chain broke, and a container full of molten iron was about to take their lives. I saved them."

Magneto was not only telling his daughter. He was also explaining to Orion Cross.

If Orion Cross wanted to stop him, then he definitely would not be able to complete his revenge.

"So humans in other worlds are not righteous and brave like the stories say either."

Diana bent down and touched Nina’s head, looking at this pitiful child who had lost her mother. "Child, I will help you too. Those people are not worthy of protection."

Since reproduction did not exist on Themyscira, children existed only in stories, and Diana especially liked children. Now, when she saw Nina’s appearance, it was as if she saw her childhood self.

"Thank you, big sister, but I can do it too."

Nina gently shook her head. Although she did not even know Orion Cross and Diana’s names, she knew that these two were her father’s friends, and that they had saved her.

"She can control birds?"

Orion Cross walked to Magneto’s side and asked.

"I only found out just now. It should be control over birds."

Magneto recalled what had happened ten minutes earlier and nodded. "But her ability has only just awakened. She still can’t control it."

"You mean she can’t control the mutant ability of controlling birds? Don’t you think that sentence sounds a little strange?"

Orion Cross smiled faintly and placed his hand on Magneto’s shoulder. "What she lacks is only basic guidance. A teacher."

"I’m not a good teacher..."

Magneto stopped halfway through his sentence and suddenly thought of someone. Back then, his own ability had also been developed with that person’s help.

And that person had now reopened that school for mutants.

"Charles. You want me to go find him."

Magneto turned his head and looked at Orion Cross, but he quickly had the answer himself. "Indeed, Charles’s side is safer than mine and more suitable for a child."

"Hurry and deal with your family matters. If you keep delaying, you may not make it in time."

Orion Cross patted Magneto on the back and said.

"Not make it in time? You mean..."

Magneto picked up Galakrond’s scale from the ground and put it back into his pocket. Suddenly, he remembered something Orion Cross had said before leaving last time.

"If you encounter an old bastard who crawled out of a pyramid, use this to contact me."

"That’s right. That guy should have already awakened and is currently on the other side of the Earth learning the knowledge of the new era."

Orion Cross pointed at the ground beneath his feet and said.

"What does that old fossil want to do?"

Magneto frowned and asked.

"Destroy the world and rebuild order? Become a god worshiped by everyone? In any case, aren’t the goals of villains all more or less like that?"

Orion Cross shrugged and said.

"Dad, are you going to save the world?"

Little Nina tugged at Magneto’s pant leg and asked.

"Yes."

Magneto nodded without blushing or his heart skipping a beat.

What father would not want to be a hero in his daughter’s eyes?

"Let’s go. We’ll deal with those ingrates, then go find Charles."

"Follow me."

Inside a factory, the workers showed not the slightest unease over the life-and-death crisis that had happened yesterday, nor over reporting their colleague. Each of them chatted while working.

Suddenly, the factory’s iron door was violently rolled up to the roof, and several figures appeared at the entrance.

"Do you need to give a speech before killing them?"

Orion Cross glanced at Magneto beside him and asked.

"That would only be venting my emotions. I don’t need it anymore. They only need to pay the price for what they did."

Magneto closed his eyes and slowly raised both hands.

Countless pieces of steel turned into deadly weapons, instantly harvesting every life.

At the same time, a dense swarm of scavenger birds flew in from outside the factory and landed on those people’s corpses.

"Nina, you don’t need to do this. Release your ability."

Magneto grabbed Nina by the shoulders and said.

"I only made them come here. The rest is their instinct."

Nina looked at the flock of scavenger birds in the distance and shook her head.

Orion Cross stood silently to the side, observing Nina’s ability. After watching for a long time, he still could not find where it had evolved.

This made Orion Cross even somewhat suspect whether the Ascension Ritual had any strengthening effect on mutants at all.

After all, Mystique had been the same. Aside from slightly higher basic values in various aspects, her shapeshifting ability remained the same.

She could neither become like the Sentinels, gaining the abilities of whoever she transformed into, nor could she transform into something enormous or tiny. There was almost no difference from the original version.

"Orion, we can go find Charles now."

After Magneto persuaded his daughter to control the scavenger birds and make them leave, he said to Orion Cross.

At that very moment, a long-absent bonus mission was triggered.
