13. Metal --- for Aoyama 2567 Brothers Plus [11/14]
Every world has a lot of secrets, these secrets are often hidden in the dust of history, in many cases, in the development trajectory of human civilization, there are traces of outsiders involved, although most of them have touched their whereabouts cleanly, but in the eyes of real people, many things are not so simple.
"Metal!"
Cyber's voice echoed through the dark temple, which seemed deserted, and he held a silver fragment of a weapon in his hand, playing with it in his hand, and he said in a deep voice:
"I was told that the real key to darkness and light is "metal", and the key to breaking the game is also metal... But I don't understand, I'm not interested in the history of this world, so I'm more inclined to get what I need from the real experts... My old friend, even if I tell you all the facts about me, will you still choose to remain silent?"
Under the control of Cyber's will, the darkness of the temple in front of him was like a curtain, which was completely opened, and the warm light shone in the hall of this boulder, shining on the body of the person who was bound to the opposite side of Cyber, and the darkness that had been dispelled for a long time was dissipated, and he was bound in a chain composed of black light, and his extremely tired eyes slowly opened.
This gentle light also seemed so dazzling at this moment.
"Ahem... Why didn't you kill me?"
The man's voice was old and hoarse, and it looked like he had been locked up here for a long time.
Faced with his question, Cyber rose from his stone seat and walked over to his weakened opponent, looking at his familiar red robes and the dark red helmet that had been set aside.
"Eric, I've said it many times, in another world, we are friends, and I believe that in this world, we will also be friends!"
The picture flips, and the light is bound to the stone wall, and it is Magneto Eric, who has been confirmed dead... A master of manipulating magnetic fields and controlling all metals.
"I'm not going to be friends with someone like you!"
Eric raised his head with difficulty, his old face with a hint of mockery, and looked at Cyber: "When I was young, another dictator and tyrant tried to control me and let me play under his swastika, guess what happened to him?"
"Look, your temper is still so bad!"
Seber shrugged, he turned around and walked back to his seat, he propped his cheek with his left hand, looked at the die-hard Magneto, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm sorry, Erik, I don't have much time to take your time to convince you, so I'm going to have to do it in a rough way... But when it's all over, you'll find out that I'm not here to destroy your world, but rather... I'm here to save it. ”
"Smack"
The sound of snapping fingers echoed through the stone hall, and on the big screen in front of Eric's eyes, an image appeared before his eyes.
It was a barren area, and hundreds of young people of different colors, expressions, and races were forced to kneel on the ground, and behind each of them stood a black-clad ninja armed with a sharp blade.
"This is the hundreds of mutant young people and children I rescued from the U.S. government's "Weapon X" program, Eric... I was going to set them free..."
Cyber's voice became indifferent to Magneto's ears, Magneto, who had been through too much, didn't need Cyber to say anything about the next threat, he already knew what Cyber wanted to do.
"Despicable!"
Eric struggled frantically, but the power in his body was locked, and he was just like an ordinary old man, he could only watch the slaughter in front of him about to begin, he cursed wildly at Cyber, who was sitting opposite, and he shouted:
"You're a mutant too, and I can feel that you're one of us... Why are you doing this?"
"Stupid!"
Cyber's fingers slammed down in the air, and the indifference in his eyes grew more and more menacing: "I should have known that there is no point in discussing salvation with a die-hard guy like you, I know every weakness of yours, Eric, and this is just the beginning! What is the name of your foster child in Sokovia? poor Maximov Wanda, and that impulsive boy... Petero, right?"
"Two new stars who grow up and have the potential to step into the ranks of omega mutants... That's your direct bloodline!"
The smile at the corner of Cyber's mouth became even more dangerous:
"Guess what, Eric, how long will it take me to get from Gotham to Sokovia?"
This sentence made Eric's eyes tighten, and his heart began to waver, but he still refused to bow his head.
"You madman, butcher, I don't know what metal you're talking about!"
"What a pity!
Seber's figure suddenly disappeared from the throne, and two seconds later, with the help of the spatial tunnel broken by the spatial gem, he returned to his original seat, this time, there was a sleeping girl in his arms, and the crimson hair made Eric's eyes widen.
"Look, what a lovely girl..."
Cyber's fingers caressed slowly on little Wanda's cheek, as if he were treating his own relatives, but his other hand, clasped tightly around the little girl's neck, only needed a light pinch, and a fresh life would completely dissipate.
He looked up at Magneto, who was as angry as a lion, and he whispered:
"My mind can't get into your head, Erik, and it's clear that you've somehow obscured it... And then you also told me that you don't know anything about what I asked ... Eric, do you think I'm the kind of fool who can be easily deceived?"
His fingers were raised in the air, and on the screen in front of him, the sharp blades in the hands of those ninjas were also raised high, and his voice became calm:
"For the last time, Eric, your loved ones, and you swore everything for them, to protect their fellow citizens... On the other side are the secrets you're trying so hard to hide... Tell me the answer, or watch them die. ”
Cyber waited for 5 seconds, Eric who was tied to the wall was still silent, which finally made Cyber lose confidence, his fingers slid from the air, blood splashed across the screen, Eric let out a desperate roar, but at the moment when Cyber's fingers on Wanda's neck were about to close, the tired and desperate voice finally rang out:
"Well, you win, you butcher... Tell me, what the hell do you want to know?"
"Bang"
Cyber threw the silvery-white metal in his hand at Magneto's feet, and he muttered, "There's no one in this world who knows these damn metals, I've never seen them before... I want to know all the secrets that are included!"
—————————————
"The metal in your hand, that's the eighth metal!"
The silver metal continued to swirl in the weakened Magneto's hands, and his broken and weak eyes looked at the fragments of metal that were disintegrating little by little in his hands, and he whispered:
"It's called God's Metal, and it's said to be a fragment of the gods left on Earth when they were created, and it can be used to make weapons, and as you can see, it's extremely hard, and it's the strongest metal you can find in the world, but it's not uncommon... At least relative to the secrets you're after, it's not unusual. ”
Cyber nodded, he didn't speak, he was waiting for Eric to continue to explain, Magneto of this timeline was silent for a moment, and spoke again:
"As for what I implanted in my body, it is the N metal, the ninth metal, and it is the one that hinders your will from observing my soul. ”
Magneto's fingers danced in the air, and a mass of amber metal liquid was pulled out of his body by his powerful magnetic force, and finally converged into a round mass, the surface of which shone with endless luster in the light, and he placed it on the stone table in front of him, and the moment he touched the stone, the amount of amber metal liquid only the size of his thumb quickly completely enveloped the huge stone table, as if it had turned it into a metal table.
"It is truly incredible, it denies physics, it is above the present world, it is said that if there are enough of them, it can fulfill all the arrogant ambitions of its users, it is a weapon of the heroes of history, but it is extremely rare in number... In my research on it, I have discovered a myriad of wonderful effects, and the N metal, the ninth metal, occupies an extremely important space in our history. ”
"The spear used by Spartacus to set off the slave revolt contains N metal, Napoleon's command knife for conquering Europe also contains N metal, and even in the ruins of Mount Olympus in Greece, I still find traces of the remaining N metal, and the artifacts of Norse mythology, Gangenir and Thor's hammer, are also mixed with it, to exaggerate, our history is actually the history recorded by N metal. ”
Eric looked at Cyber:
"In ancient legends, it was called a sacred object, it has a strong restraint against all evil, and it is said that this metal itself is a common carrier of despair and hope, don't ask me what this means, I don't know, I just know that there is such a saying, maybe the mages know better..."
Cybermore rubbed his chin, he reached out and pointed at the metal stone table in front of him, the amber metal liquid was quickly extracted by him, he looked at the amber metal ball suspended in the palm of his hand, he said:
"I've been told that consuming enough N metal can directly break through the boundaries between darkness and light, and even push the whole world into eternal darkness, do you think it's possible?"
"Theoretically, N metal has a miraculous effect, maybe it can do it, but I don't know, it took me decades to find such a little bit of physical objects from the corners and corners of history, and I can only go so far as to understand it, whether you are satisfied with it or not..."
Magneto hugged his sleeping daughter, and he lowered his voice:
"But if you really want to know more... I recommend you to find another person, to be precise, it is a couple, they live in seclusion, they are said to have survived from ancient times to the present day, and this is also the miracle of the magical N metal,"
"Carter Hall and Hyara Sanders, maybe you can find the final answer in them, and I must tell you that the ninth metal is not the ultimate metal in the universe, and I have felt another metal reaction that is not inferior to it, which is purer and more hopeful, but unfortunately, I don't know where it came from. ”
"But according to my understanding, metal can't be the key to the problem, you have to understand, no matter how powerful metal is, it is only a tool, how can tools be the key to the problem?
Holding his daughter, Eric stood up and glanced at Cyber:
"Can I go?"
"Of course! You can leave at any time!"
Cyber spread his hands and unceremoniously took the small ball of N metal for himself, he looked at the indifferent Magneto, and he whispered:
"You'd better live incognito, at least until I settle everything, and stop trying to make trouble for me, I've had enough trouble... Also, if it's convenient, when you leave, stop by the Gotham airport and take the poor kids who were rescued with them, they are all mutants with great potential in the future, I don't think you want to miss it. ”
"Huh"
Magneto's gaze snapped back, and he looked at Cyber:
"You didn't kill them?!"
"Of course not, my friend!"
Cyber shrugged his shoulders, and without looking back, he said:
"Like you said, I'm a mutant, and even though I am a true villain in your eyes, trust me, killing those children won't make me feel even the slightest bit of joy... As for the scene just now, it was just a small "magic". ”
"If you're cooperative enough, I don't think I need it... By the way, don't forget to say hello to Charles for me, and tell him by the way, next time I dare to help those unknown fools, I won't show mercy again!"
(I'll go...) What the hell is the harem monk Wen... It's just that I can't write emotional dramas... )
