Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz.

The setting sun was like blood, and the setting sun met the sea, instantly dyeing a large area of ​​flooding red.

Above the bay, a huge metal bridge that stretched like a red snake was suspended in the air, one end connected to the land on the other side of the bay, and the other end cast a heavy shadow on Alcatraz.

Although there was no strong wind blowing around, the dark red cloak behind Magneto was still fluttering, and the invisible magnetic force supported him to float quietly at the front of the metal bridge.

Looking down, I saw that a large number of fully armed human soldiers had gathered in the Alcatraz Island below.

Especially the Worthington Laboratory in the center of the island, its periphery was surrounded by a black crowd of people, and the mutant child who was the source of the antidote that he wanted to capture was now imprisoned in this laboratory.

His sight slowly swept over the special guns held tightly in the hands of those human soldiers, and a trace of disdain flashed in Magneto's eyes. He was not unfamiliar with this kind of plastic weapon with antidote as bullet. This thing was no different from a toy to him. Even if he could not manipulate it with magnetism, he had many ways to completely destroy it.

In the face of the absolute power gap, the so-called guns and weapons of human beings seemed so powerless. Apart from anything else, just by manipulating the 10,000-ton giant bridge under him to plow the island a few times, he could easily destroy everything on Devil's Island, including those densely packed human soldiers.

But the purpose of his trip was not just for simple destruction. If he just wanted to destroy Devil's Island, he could easily do it alone, and he would have fewer concerns and burdens. There was no need to spend so much energy to gather the current thousands of Brotherhood members.

The issuance of the antidote was an opportunity. It aroused the resistance and hatred consciousness of the mutants. The increasingly large-scale parade in the city was the best proof.

Through the antidote, mutants gradually realized that humans actually have the ability and determination to exterminate them, and have begun to implement it. If they do not choose to resist and struggle, then perhaps in the near future, mutants will completely become a sad disease that can be cured by humans, a fantasy history buried in the dust.

The birth of this consciousness is good, but it is far from enough, because most mutants still choose to resist by cowardly demonstrations, which is ridiculous. Since ancient times, bloodless struggles have never won any rights!

So Magneto wants to add another fire to this conflict, a prairie fire that can completely ignite all the numb mutants who still have sad fantasies.

And Devil's Island is the starting point of this raging fire. He wants to turn this island into a common bloody meat grinder between the two races of humans and mutants. He wants to use a lot of blood and death to awaken his compatriots' extreme anger and the will to resist that will never compromise.

In order to achieve this goal, the numerous human soldiers on the island, along with the thousands of Brotherhood members behind him, will become the best sacrifices for the battle of the rise of mutants.

Just as he said at the swearing-in ceremony before, the battle of Alcatraz is just an outpost. After it is completely destroyed, the Brotherhood will attack the whole world with unprecedented anger, and they will eventually be invincible.

So even if he can end the entire battlefield by himself, he will never do so. At least in the early stage of the battle, the humans and mutants who strangle each other should be the absolute protagonists on this battlefield of Alcatraz.

What Magneto wants is never a one-sided massacre by a certain force.

Thinking of this, in an angle that no one can observe, Magneto's eyes showed a deep and faint luster. He did not control the bridge under him to continue to move forward, but stopped moving forward after the front end of the bridge reached a position not far from the Worthington Laboratory.

It was as if he had spent a lot of effort to tear down the entire Golden Gate Bridge, and my purpose was just to use it as a means of transportation across the strait.

"Charles has always wanted to build a bridge, but he doesn't understand that in this cruel world, kindness and compromise can never build a solid bridge, because they are weak and will collapse at the touch of a button, and only steel and fire can do all this!"

The solemn declaration resounded from the sky. After the words fell, Magneto, who was suspended in the void, pressed his hands lightly, and then the giant bridge under him instantly lost all gravity and fell down under the action of gravity.

The exaggerated weight of tens of thousands of tons poured down, and the violent roar caused by it shook the entire Devil's Island violently. In an instant, the island shook endlessly, smoke and dust rose up, and at the same time, a sentry post responsible for vigilance directly below was crushed into slag on the spot by the falling bridge.

So far, the Golden Gate Bridge, which is more than 2,000 meters long, has finally landed again. After experiencing a violent demolition, it has successfully transformed from a metal bridge connecting the two sides of the strait to a new sea channel that now connects the land and Devil's Island.

The rising smoke gradually disappeared, and Magneto in the sky slowly floated down under the gaze of the people behind him, like a god. It was hard not to be submissive to this kind of power.

Soon Magneto landed on the ground. He turned around and glanced at the crowded Brotherhood members behind him. He waved his hand to throw away the dark red cape behind him, and walked towards the direction of the laboratory in front of him. Behind him was a dense crowd of people following closely.

Moving his eyes further back, the last rays of the setting sun were also drowned by the thick lake surface. The deep night seemed to surge out from the bottom of the bottomless lake, spreading rapidly like a black flag that foreshadowed the coming of death, directly passing over the Brotherhood members who were moving forward, and covering the sky in the blink of an eye.

After a few breaths, Magneto and his party slowly walked to the end of the bridge. Now the metal bridge has been completely embedded in the island, like a metal slope several meters above the ground.

Directly in front of them is the wide and flat ground, and then the heavily guarded Worthington Laboratory.

"The child is in the southeast corner of the laboratory, but there are many individuals with good energy fluctuations in these human guards, and some of them do not seem to be mutants."

The voice of the Night Walker sounded in his ears. The opponent's reconnaissance ability played a great role on the battlefield. Not only did she lock the location of the mutant Jimmy in the first time, but even the contractors hidden in the human army could not escape her reconnaissance perception.

At the front of the crowd, Magneto frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked down at the human army holding various weapons not far away, with extreme coldness in his eyes.

"It seems that humans have come up with some new means in addition to guns and cannons. In this case, let's say hello to them first!"

With a cold arc at the corner of his mouth, Magneto did not rush to order an attack immediately, but raised his arm slightly. The next moment, dozens of cars flew up one after another from behind the crowd, and soon covered the sky above the island densely.

Because there are a large number of searchlights around the island, even at night, the area near the battlefield is still brightly lit.

Everyone in the field can also clearly look up and see the dense black shadows of cars in the sky, and even faintly hear some sad cries and wails coming from above, which come from some unlucky civilians who failed to escape from the car in time.

"Oh my God..."

Weak groans rang out from all parts of the army. Although the scene at this moment was not as shocking as the huge metal bridge that spanned the sky not long ago, it was obviously not something that the weak plastic rifles in their hands could resist. In this world where there are extraordinary things, the deterrent power of firearms has been infinitely reduced.

As long as Magneto is willing, he has countless ways to destroy the entire island. Now it is just a small test.

"John."

He called the fireman John softly, and the latter immediately understood. A continuous stream of raging flames flew out from his palm and rushed straight to the sky, covering the car canopies above with a layer of flames.

In an instant, the bright flames illuminated the battlefield with a fiery heat, and even the faint crying became much clearer.

Ignoring the wailing from the sky, Magneto looked at the mutant youth beside him with satisfaction, and then he pressed his palm down, and countless flaming meteorites fell from the sky one after another, smashing into the human army in front of them.

"Find shelter!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

Some broken commands were completely drowned out by the continuous and fierce roar before they could spread. Every car burning with blazing flames that fell to the ground would directly detonate the fuel tank, and explode a burst of fireballs covering a range of several meters on the spot.

The spreading flames and bursting parts flew everywhere, the roar of the explosion and the shrill wailing sounded together, and in just a few breaths of time, the flat ground in front of the laboratory turned into a sea of ​​fire. At least hundreds of human soldiers died on the spot under the double attack of flames and explosions, and countless people were injured.

In this one-sided tragic massacre, there are also many abnormal individuals with combat power far superior to ordinary soldiers. They either rely on brute force to smash the falling car, or dodge all the explosion damage nimbly, or drive various extraordinary elements such as flames, frost, smoke vines to protect themselves.

In short, after a round of bombing, most of the contractors hidden in the human army have revealed their figures, and the huge difference in combat power is the most obvious feature.

What's more, some contractors even choose to take the initiative to expose themselves as soon as the war begins. Taking advantage of the gap between the falling of a large number of flaming meteorites, long-range attacks suddenly fly out from all directions of the island, with only one target, that is, Magneto standing on the top of the broken bridge.

The main reason why these contractors who participated in the defense of Devil's Island chose to join the human camp is not to recognize the human blood flowing in their bodies. What they want is that the human side has a legitimate reason to kill mutant strongmen wantonly, which also means a large number of world sources and treasure chest rewards.

Especially Magneto, who is the world's top combat power. If you can kill him, the treasure chest reward you get will at least be a pale gold level. If you are lucky enough to kill Jean in the Phoenix state, the golden treasure chest will no longer be a dream.

The generous rewards and the characteristics of mutants with high attack and low defense have gathered countless greedy hunters waiting for their prey to take the bait on this battlefield. Among them, Magneto is the fat prey second only to Jean.

However, sometimes, the identities of hunters and prey are often unclear.

The flaming meteorites in the sky are still falling, but Magneto, as the operator, suddenly shrinks his pupils. His keen perception makes him aware of the attack at the moment of attack. He quickly looks up and sees more than ten long-range attacks breaking through the air from all directions of the island.

Various attack methods such as special bullets made of unknown materials, beams of different colors, wooden or energized arrow crossbows, screams or silent ghost-faced air currents were almost all included in Magneto's field of vision at the same time. They all have their own unique characteristics. A common feature is that all attacks do not contain any metal materials.

‘You are really well prepared and well thought out. ’

Muttering silently in his heart, Magneto's eyes turned cold, and the majestic magnetic force around him was instantly mobilized, forming a high-strength magnetic force field invisible to the naked eye on the surface of his body. At the same time, more than a dozen small silver metal balls also emerged from his body. The cuffs flew out and shot away in the direction of the attack.

In the comics, Magneto, who controls one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, can squeeze black holes and move planets with his hands. Even the magnetic defensive field condensed with the wave of his hand can resist the explosion damage of multiple nuclear bombs and remain unscathed.

Although Magneto in this world is not capable of such exaggeration, he is not like the one in the movie who can only roughly control metal. At least the defense method of creating a magnetic force field can be easily achieved.

The metal ball that suddenly flew out caused a slight scream at the side of the body. In the next second, all the incoming physical attacks were directly shattered by the ball. After penetrating the ball, those invisible and qualityless spells also The magnetic force field that was also shrouded in his body was intercepted on the spot, like a mosquito trapped in transparent amber, frozen in the void and motionless.

Glancing at the various attacks that were close at hand, Magneto looked disdainful, and with a twitch of his arm, the vast magnetic force crushed these attacks.

If he could be hit by a long-range attack so easily, then it would be impossible for him to survive until now despite the full force of the wanted manhunt from all over the world.

After dealing with these secret raids, he raised his eyes to look at the battlefield ahead. At this time, the falling flaming meteorites had stopped. The flat ground was covered with charred pits, scattered parts, burning corpses and struggling and wailing wounded. , the scene looked extremely miserable.

Of course, there are also many scattered contractors who seem a bit out of place on the chaotic battlefield. Most of them were unscathed by this round of attacks. Second-level contractors, even if they are auxiliary types, are unlikely to be killed by mere cars. Killed by explosion.

At the rear of the battlefield, the massacre of the flaming meteorites did not destroy the morale of the human army. There were many heavily armed soldiers pouring out of the open base portal. The federal government was stationed on this island. The defensive strength is much more than what appears on the surface.

Something strange even appeared in the sea area outside the island. The calm sea surface suddenly rolled into waves, and then giant sentinels ranging from several meters to more than ten meters broke through the water one after another, and all moved quickly towards the center of Alcatraz Island. Come on, these sentry robots produced by Trask Industries are the main guards deployed by the military on Alcatraz Island.

Soon, more than a dozen sentry robots appeared above the laboratory. Their exaggerated shapes cast large shadows below, which also revived the sagging morale of the human side.

In an instant, the situation on the battlefield completely changed. On the land were dense troops and various contractors mixed in, and in the sky were an increasing number of giant sentry robots. Judging from the momentum alone, there seemed to be little difference between the two sides. Even the human side is slightly better.

"Very good, this is a close battle."

Scanning the numerous enemies on the battlefield, Magneto focused his attention on the sentinel robots in the sky. The human army on the surface was nothing more than chickens and dogs. Even though there were many individuals with strong combat capabilities mixed among them, he was still against them. This person still didn't care, but the sentry was different.

This is his old opponent. These sentinels with special characteristics are made of a unique biological material. While they do not contain metal components, their combat effectiveness is also extremely powerful. The suppressive power brought by their huge size makes him Currently, it is quite rare for his subordinates to effectively inflict fatal damage to him. In other words, he needs to personally take action to achieve stable suppression.

"It's your fate, John. You command the battle on the ground. Don't rush in. I'll deal with those old friends."

"yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Magneto opened his arms and his body slowly rose up under the support of the magnetic force field. The more than ten silver balls that had been shot out not long ago also flew back through the air and circled around him. Many of the balls still had mottled blood stains on their surfaces.

Although these small balls may seem ordinary, in terms of material quality alone, these are at least dark purple quality metal materials. They may not be of much use in the hands of others, but in the hands of Magneto, they are indestructible weapons.

When he reached a high altitude, with a thought in his mind, the small metal balls surrounding him broke into two pieces, and the two pieces began to split into countless pieces of fine silver iron sand. Then a harsh sky-piercing scream resounded through the sky, and the iron sand burst into pieces. A beautiful silver sand mist gradually formed in the sky.

The floating silver mist seemed to be gentle and lingering, without any lethality, but wherever the mist passed, it wiped out the three sentinels at the forefront in just a few breaths, but there was an ultimate terror in the silence.

………

"Kill them!"

"kill!!"

On the island battlefield, as the screams resounded from above, the fighting on the surface also began. Following Pyro John's sharp shout, the brothers on the bridge rushed to jump off the broken bridge and faced the people in front of them. The army launched a desperate charge. Magneto's previous crushing killings had already completely aroused the manic desire for destruction in their hearts.

Unfortunately, the first wave of charge did not bring any effective results. As soon as they entered the battlefield, the impatient soldiers were hit by the antidote bullets fired by the human army. The dense antidote bullets could hardly hit a being of Magneto's level, but it was a sure kill for these ordinary mutants.

Once hit by the antidote, they would passively fall to the ground in the weakened period of losing their mutant abilities, and then be torn to pieces by the human contractors who came to kill them, and turned into treasure chests one after another and were collected by others.

This massacre without any resistance lasted for dozens of seconds until a mutant codenamed Arclight in the Brotherhood took action.

Her blue-white palms only slapped several times, and the surging and spreading shock waves destroyed almost all the plastic weapons of the human side in an instant.

At this point, the situation began to turn again, and the human side quickly fell into an irreversible disadvantage, and the contractors of the Brotherhood also took advantage of this opportunity to rush and join the battlefield.

At the top of the broken metal bridge, Ximing slowly lowered his head and retracted his gaze from Magneto's back. After truly seeing the opponent's strength, the strong murderous intent hidden under the pale mask gradually faded.

His original plan was to take advantage of the opportunity to kill Magneto by backstabbing him during the Battle of Devil's Island and seize the power of the Brotherhood, but the appearance of the opponent's magnetic field directly extinguished his next plan to sneak attack and seize power.

Magneto's strength is stronger than expected. In this case, he will continue to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity. Overlooking the chaotic battlefield filled with blood below, Ximing spread his hands, and then dense white silk threads rushed out from the inside of the wide black robe, pouring down on the battlefield like a drizzle.

"Go, the killing has begun, bring a grand drama to the world!"

A chant similar to an aria came from under the pale mask, and then a series of contractors belonging to the Drama Adventure Group suddenly jumped out from behind Ximing. They were also all the contractors in the Brotherhood. As for those who did not belong to the Adventure Group, they all became part of the drama in different ways, either actively or passively, a few days ago.

Under the command of the head of Ximing, they quickly jumped into the battlefield in the direction of the white silk thread, and the limbs flew and the blood mist drifted wherever they passed, until they met the contractors of the other side in the center of the battlefield, and then they lost their momentum of charging like a bamboo in the entanglement.
