Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

Chapter 97: Return of Superman

"What...what's going on..."

At this moment, John discovered that his flames were completely powerless against Bobby's icy body. That body, which was close to absolute zero, could no longer be shaken by John's flames.

Bobby thrust his hands out and grasped John's wrists.

Without deliberately releasing cold air, he froze John's hands and the lighter simply by relying on the low temperature of his body.

"You shouldn't have left school."

Bang!

Bobby hit John on the head with a heavy headbutt, knocking him unconscious and announcing the end of the battle here.

.On the other side, the battle between many X-Men and Eric also began.

As for Jean, who came here with Eric, she was still watching coldly. She had no intention of helping either the X-Men or Eric.

"Piotr, throw me out like Clark did in training."

"understand!"

Hiding behind the bunker, Logan and Steel Man Piotr immediately discussed countermeasures. In another direction, under the cover of fog, Hank ran to the side and took out the healing potion from the soldier's abandoned gun and held it in his hand.

At this time, the attack was launched.

Piotr threw Logan at Eric like a cannonball, and it seemed that Logan was going to knock Eric down with this blow.

But Logan, with his adamantium skeleton, was too conspicuous in Eric's perception.

Eric simply waved his hand and pinned Logan to the ground, unable to move.

"You never seem to learn what it means to be calm?"

Logan on the ground struggled to turn over, looking at Eric's mocking expression, he smiled.

“Actually, I’ve already learned it.”

At this moment, Hank suddenly jumped out from the mist behind him, holding a healing potion in his hand, and he only needed one attack to kill the enemy.

Just when everyone thought that the battle would be won.

Eric smiled slightly, and the gravel at his feet started to move on its own, beginning to spin rapidly around Eric's body, directly knocking Hank, who was trying to get close, away.

"how come!"

Logan didn't expect Eric to be so alert.

After repelling Hank, one of the stones rotating around Eric suddenly shot out and attacked Ororo who had not yet reacted.

"careful!"

Scott reacted in time and immediately used a laser to smash the stone to protect Ororo, but he was hit in the chest by another stone and fell to the ground.

Ororo was also hit by Logan who threw him randomly as a projectile.

Logan, who weighs almost twice as much as a normal person, hit Ororo so hard that he lost his ability to fight.

The last remaining steel man, Piotr, wanted to fight back, but before he could reach Eric, he was restrained by steel bars flying from all directions and fell to the ground, unable to move.

"hateful..."

Suddenly, all the X-Men were defeated, with only Logan standing up again.

"Aren't you...only able to control metal?"

“That’s how it was originally.”

Eric admitted this. In fact, he had already entered a period of declining abilities and could only control metals. This was just a reflection of his weakened abilities as he aged.

"Charles actually knows very well. When I was young, I could control all the materials on the ground by controlling the iron element. As long as the stones contained iron, I could use them as weapons. It's just that I'm old now."

There was a hint of sadness in Eric's voice. He had fought all his life, but still could not see the future of mutants.

"Now I am unable to control these trace metal elements, and it will put a great burden on my body. But since you want to help humans destroy the future of mutants, then why not risk my life?"

In just the time it took to say these few words, Eric's blood vessels were already bulging. As he said, his old body no longer allowed him to use his strength in this way.

Just like a person can run freely when he is young, but when he is old, he finds it difficult to even walk or stand.

Mutant abilities are the instinct of mutants, not a power that becomes stronger with age.

bass!

All his teammates were defeated, but Logan still did not intend to give up. He stretched out his steel claws, ready for a final fight at any time.

But at this moment, a voice came from the air.

"That's enough. Stop it."

.........

Time moves forward a few minutes.

In X Academy, Charles, who had become a vegetable, was sleeping quietly on the bed. Beside the bed stood a tall figure. The black cloak fluttering in the wind behind him and the black and gold S logo on his chest revealed the other person's identity.

Clark is back. He returned from the sun, but what he saw was his old friend sleeping forever.

Through the x-ray vision, he could see the damage to Charles' brain. Fortunately, through Kryptonian technology, he could heal the injury to Charles' brain, but now was not the time.

"You are finally back."

Emma pushed the door open and walked in. As she stayed at the academy on behalf of the X-Men, she naturally noticed Clark's return.

But Emma's actions came to an abrupt stop the moment she opened the door.

As the golden portal opened, Ancient One walked out of it, and time was frozen at this moment. Only Clark and Ancient One could move freely.

"Being able to move in suspended time, your speed..."

Clark nodded.

"Yes, my speed has reached the speed of light."

In many cases, the speed of light is used to refer to the speed at which time passes, and the fact is that it is not much different. When Clark's speed reaches the speed of light, conventional events are suspended and have little effect on him.

Gu Yi could also concentrate his strength and let the power of the Eye of Agamotto be concentrated on Clark, so that he could still pause time for him, but such a wide range of time pause would no longer have any effect on Clark.

"So, ask your questions, Superman."

The reason why Ancient One came here was very simple, which was to answer Superman's questions.

Clark nodded and asked directly without any extra words.

"Master, do you have any idea about the energy in the piano? Is it the power of the piano itself, or... something else..."

Gu Yi nodded, Clarke's question was exactly what she expected.

And facing such a powerful superman, there was no need for her to hide anything.

"The power of the Phoenix, or rather the fragments of the power of the Phoenix, that is the power within Qin's body."
