Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 394 The Red Sun Rises
"Fuck, is Magneto in the original story so exaggerated? Are you kidding me? How do you fight this thing?"

On the Devil's Island battlefield, Panlagon looked up in the crowd as he heard the complaints from his men in the rear.

At the end of the field of vision is a metal frenzy that almost fills the entire sky, and countless metal components of various shapes are shuttling and surging in the sky.

They continued to dismantle and detach from the Golden Gate Bridge at the edge of the island, and then continuously gathered into a surging tide covering the sky, rolling towards the center of the island.

Just watching from a distance gives people a strong feeling of oppression that makes it difficult to breathe. No one would doubt the actual power of this metal frenzy. The huge weight of tens of thousands of tons can crush at least 90% of the individuals in the field into an unrecognizable pool of meat and blood just by pressing down directly.

"The first point of the derivative world is not to blindly believe in those so-called plots. This is a real world, not a series of movies with limited perspectives. Remember?"

"As a recognized top-tier warrior in the open world, it's not surprising that Magneto possesses this kind of strength. This is far from his limit, but it's more than enough to deal with us."

Looking up at the majestic figure with fluttering cloak above the metal frenzy, Panlagon sighed a few times, then turned his gaze to the raging sea of ​​fire not far away.

Compared with when it first appeared, the area of ​​the sea of ​​fire at this moment has obviously shrunk by several times. At the same time, several metal torrents composed of numerous metal components and flying cars are flowing down from the tide in the sky, and then heavily penetrate into the sea of ​​fire on the surface in various directions.

As the torrent continued to pour in, a large number of falling cars began to explode due to the high temperature burning, causing continuous roars. Even the entire island was shaking slightly under the impact, and the surface of the sea of ​​fire continued to surge.

The dense metal torrent completely blocked Panlagon's view of the interior of the sea of ​​fire. Although he could not see the specific situation of the Scarlet Knight, just from the one-sided crushing situation from the outside, it was not difficult to guess that the opponent's situation at this time should not be considered good.

The raging sea of ​​fire fueled by the lives of dozens of contractors was indeed magnificent, but compared to the metal torrent that could continuously gather in the sky, the difference in size between the two was still huge.

"Captain, I feel like the family in the sea of ​​fire won't be able to hold out for much longer. Should we continue to stay where we are?"

At this time, the battlefield had already fallen into a temporary stalemate due to the confrontation between Magneto and Xu Yue. Hearing the questioning voice behind him again, Panlagon's eyes flickered. Although his sight was still on the raging sea of ​​fire in front of him, the memory scene in his mind couldn't help but emerge from a secret carriage that was quietly transported to the island by high-ranking military officials a few days ago.

His thoughts stagnated, he retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice:
"The contractor in the sea of ​​fire is not important. No matter who wins or loses the battle between him and Magneto, humans are doomed to fail. And the more humans are forced into a desperate situation, the crazier they will behave."

"so?"

"So we should withdraw. Lin Feng, notify all members to get away from Devil's Island immediately! If we delay any longer, we may not have the chance to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, the forest wind behind him immediately turned into several wisps of breeze and spread out, while Panlagon led the remaining members and walked quickly towards the edge of the island without looking back.

Just before he was completely immersed in darkness, he quietly turned around to look at the raging sea of ​​fire in the center of the island that was still rapidly shrinking inwards.

"Xinhuo... this code name seems a little familiar."

.........

Panlagon and his companions did not deliberately conceal their retreat route, so many people on the scene noticed this adventure group that was preparing to quietly withdraw before the battle was over. Especially the contractors belonging to the Brotherhood of Mutants, they noticed it at the first moment and reported it immediately.

"Captain, the group from Breath of the Wild seems to be evacuating. Should we stop them?"

On the Brotherhood side, Xi Ming, who was staring at the golden and red sea of ​​fire in front of him, was stunned when he heard this. The pale mask under the hood blocked all his expressions, and only his voice revealed a hint of doubt.

"Are you running now? Where are the others?"

"Breath of the Wild is already retreating in full force, and their efficiency is very high. As for the other contractors, at least half of them are evacuating one after another, and..."

"And the X-Men seem to be leaving one after another as well."

"Um?!"

A voice of surprise came from under the pale mask. After hearing this, Xi Ming quickly raised his eyes and looked at the X-Men members on the battlefield.

Sure enough, a blue light suddenly flashed beside Logan, the most eye-catching person in the field, and the devil-like Night Walker quietly jumped out from the void.

He quickly reached out and grabbed Wolverine's shoulder clothing, which had already been stained dark by blood. The moment they touched, both of them disappeared from where they were.

Soon, another blue light appeared in the crowd, and this time the tall Colossus was taken away, followed by Iceman, Phantom Flame... However, in just a few seconds, Nightcrawler had flashed repeatedly in the field many times, and at the same time, all the X-Men members on Devil's Island were also transferred away by him.

'Why did they evacuate so quickly? The battle is clearly not over yet.'

A trace of doubt arose in his heart, but then Xi Ming seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned his head and looked intently in front of him.

As far as the eye can see, the rapidly shrinking sea of ​​fire in the distance has gradually become sticky and solid, like a scorching sun lying on the ground. As the golden-red flames become brighter and brighter, the faint sense of oppression coming from directly in front of it becomes more and more terrifying, as if the scorching sun will explode on the spot in the next second.

With Xi Ming's perception, he could naturally sense that something was wrong with the sea of ​​fire. Facing Magneto's continued attack, judging from the previous battle process, the contractor in the sea of ​​fire would never just sit there and wait to die and be beaten passively.

Perhaps the enemy will launch a desperate counterattack soon, and the means of its counterattack will only be more brutal and fierce, and this can be foreseen from the X-Men who have already evacuated.

If his guess is correct, then under the current situation, evacuating Alcatraz first to avoid the fierce conflict that may break out next would be the best option.

But thinking of the people like Guishu, Wukong, Puppet Master who died one after another at the hands of Xu Yue, Ximing's gaze as he stared at the sea of ​​fire became more ferocious. He could ignore the injuries of his men, but he could not leave in disgrace after suffering such a big loss.

Moreover, the Brotherhood still has Jean as their trump card, which has never been used.

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at the red figure still standing quietly on the broken bridge behind him. After a moment of silence, he spoke lightly:

"Notify all members to evacuate to the outskirts of the island and hide first. If the situation becomes dire, be ready to evacuate at any time."

"Yes! Captain!"

…………

As the metal tide and the raging sea of ​​fire continued to confront each other, an invisible sense of oppression became heavier and gradually enveloped the entire island.

As a result, more and more people on the battlefield began to flee the island, even though there was nearly 3 kilometers of sea area between Devil's Island and the nearest land, and there were even a large number of government troops stationed on the shore to isolate and blockade it.

But for the contractors who have many means, as long as they can get out of danger, they will always have a way to escape safely.

Above the island, when everyone present began to realize that something was wrong, Magneto, who was facing the raging sea of ​​fire below, would feel the abnormality earlier than them.

However, he never obstructed it from beginning to end. Instead, he showed a laissez-faire attitude. After all, what Magneto wanted was never just to win.

What he wanted was to witness the strongest power that Xu Yue could unleash, and then use more vast and intuitive power to suppress him by force, so as to make him convinced.

He is very experienced in this whole process of recruiting talents and is very adept at it.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon the vast sea of ​​fire on the surface had shrunk inward into a fireball only a few meters in size.

Although the coverage area has shrunk a lot, the overall pressure and the extreme temperature of the flames have been greatly improved by the flaming fireball, which has almost condensed into a semi-liquid state.

Often, the metal torrent that fell from the sky would only barely penetrate the fireball before being melted directly into a pool of iron water by the terrifying temperature of the pure Yangyan.

Inside the fireball, Xu Yue, with golden-red eyes, slowly flew out from a deep pit underground. The blood on his lips was instantly burned out by the high temperature, and a pair of gorgeous flaming wings were slowly flapping behind him.

Under normal circumstances, it would only take him a moment to shrink the sea of ​​fire into a giant fireball, but under the continuous impact and pressure of the metal torrent, it took a long time.

As the fireball took shape, the temperature inside rose to a terrifying level that could melt steel and iron in an instant, allowing him to finally break free from the oppression of the metal torrent, and also indicating that the time for counterattack had finally arrived.

The blazing gaze penetrated through layers of obstacles and locked onto the dark red figure floating in mid-air above the metal frenzy. Xu Yue's eyes condensed slightly, and then he flapped his wings behind him fiercely. The powerful thrust drove him straight up.

At the same time, outside, in the astonished eyes of everyone, the scorching sun lying on the ground finally rose into the sky.

In the middle of the island, a giant fireball with a diameter of several meters suddenly rose up and rushed into the sky, like a golden red sun rising. Wherever the ball passed, everything melted and the torrents stopped, with a shocking aura as if the red sun was rising and the heaven and earth were retreating.
