"Damn it… Hei Huangxiao's nuclear submarine is too deep. I can't find it," Magneto muttered, his face dark atop the landing gear of the supersonic jet. Even though he had relaxed his magnetic control as much as possible, the submarine's position was truly buried.

The sudden tsunami sweeping across the open sea further disrupted his magnetic sensing, making it nearly impossible to locate Hei Huangxiao.

"Erik, don't worry about Hei Di Xiao. The tsunami is driving the two fleets toward collision. Once they crash, the world's two superpowers will teeter on the brink of nuclear war," Professor X said calmly inside the jet, his telepathy scanning the entire stretch of ocean and the fleets below.

Compared to hunting Hei Di Xiao, Professor X clearly prioritized preventing global catastrophe.

"Calm down, Erik." Seeing Magneto frantically searching, Professor X tried to soothe him with his mental powers.

"Charles, you bastard…" Magneto grumbled, frowning, but he couldn't stop. He had to continue searching for Hei Huangxiao's nuclear submarine.

Boom.

Magneto raised his hands, his body levitating as magnetic forces surged from his palms downward.

Ka-ka-ka.

A sharp, metallic roar erupted as the ships, propelled by the tsunami, lifted into midair.

"Wha—what the hell?"

"Is this… human?"

"Impossible… this must be an illusion."

Every soldier and commander aboard both Soviet and American ships froze in disbelief. They watched in terror as Magneto floated above the center of their fleets, ships rising into the sky. The sea fell into stunned silence.

"Magnificent… Magneto," even Lancelot couldn't help but look up in admiration at the man suspended above the waves.

Magneto extended his hands; beneath him, the massive warships hovered. Each vessel weighed tens of tons, yet he controlled them effortlessly.

"Move!" Magneto roared, as if pressing down on a massive mountain, then flung the ships toward the edges of the open sea.

Rumble.

Ships crashed into the water with tremendous splashes. General William, commanding the U.S. fleet, stared in shock. Magneto remained silent for a moment.

"Turn the ships around! Aim at the human in the sky!" After a pause, General William decisively gave the order.

Compared to a Cold War Soviet invasion, this sudden, mysterious human posed a far greater threat.

Suspended in midair, Magneto failed to notice the warships aiming at him with their cannons. His strength waned, his hands fell, and his body began to collapse.

"Gray, give our ally an injection." On the Soviet flagship, Lancelot observed the weakening Magneto with amusement, issuing his command.

"As you wish, my king." From behind Gray appeared two butterfly wings, adorned with countless butterflies. She swiftly flew toward Magneto.

"A mutant from the House of Evolution? Fox… you've really gotten entangled in him," Professor X muttered, eyes narrowing as he watched Gray approach Magneto, utterly unamused.

"Hey, Mr. Magneto. You don't look so good." Gray hovered beside him, peering at the weakened Magneto before pulling a syringe from his jacket.

Laugh.

Casually, Gray injected a vial of lavender serum into Magneto. Instantly, the weakened Magneto's vitality returned, his body rejuvenated.

"What… what is this?" Magneto felt energy surging through him, glancing gratefully at Gray.

"It's a vitality-restoring serum developed by the scientists at the House of Evolution. It restores your mutant power and revitalizes your cells," Gray explained, circling Magneto before returning to Lancelot's deck.

"Now, show us your talents, Magneto. King of the stage." Lancelot watched with interest as Magneto prepared for his display.

It didn't take long. Magneto spread his hands, brimming with energy, unconcerned and resolute.

Rumble.

Powerful magnetic forces erupted. The sea churned violently beneath him, and Hei Huangxiao's hidden nuclear submarine was forcibly drawn to the surface.

"Head for the nearby island," Professor X observed, warning him.

Meanwhile, Beast Hank piloted the supersonic jet toward a nearby island.

"Kill them!" Inside the nuclear submarine, Hei Huangxiao could no longer tolerate the X-Men. He roared orders to his mutants.

Boom.

Hei Huangxiao's team formed a circle. The Red Devil Asato activated his power, and Hei Huangxiao's group vanished into the sky.

"Flood tornado!" The Flood Explorer transformed into a massive tornado, descending from above. Wherever it passed, the ocean reversed, and the X-Men's jet was caught, spinning wildly in the vortex.

"Magneto!" Professor X, on the jet, became increasingly anxious, using his telepathy to call out.

"Trash, Charles…" Magneto cursed loudly. He flung the nuclear submarine toward the island, raising his left hand to pull the supersonic jet out of the tornado.

Then, with his right hand, he pushed the jet toward the island.

Rumble.

On the island, two massive steel constructs tumbled violently. The nuclear submarine split in two at the center, and the X-Men's jet crashed, its wings breaking, stranded on the island.

"Hei Huangxiao." Magneto ignored the X-Men entirely. He looked upward at Hei Huangxiao and launched himself with his full body.

"Red Devil, go kill the X-Men. I'll deal with Magneto myself!" In the sky, Hei Di Xiao released Dragonfly Salvatore and dove toward Magneto.

Bang.

The Red Devil Asato appeared on the island with the Flood Explorer and Dragonfly.

"Magneto, you were meant for greatness. But Professor X tamed you, burying your power." High above, Magneto collided with Hei Huangxiao. Hei Huangxiao struck with furious punches, unleashing terrifying energy that sent Magneto plummeting.

"Look at you now… manipulating metal? Are you the Iron King?" Hei Huangxiao's body absorbed the kinetic energy of his fall, hitting the ground unharmed.

Hei Huangxiao landed safely, while Magneto crashed, protected by magnetic force but badly battered, struggling to recover.
