Chapter 154 Sebastian's Death

Du Mu stood above the American and Soviet aircraft carrier fleets, overlooking the two sides confronting each other on the sea.

Although the distance seemed far, the sea breeze had carried all their conversations and words to Du Mu's ears.

There was no secret communication channel. Even the sound of typing Morse code could be sensed clearly by Du Mu within the area where he had actively released his magic power.

In the original book, after discovering that all the soldiers on the Soviet warship that had actively provoked the United States had been killed by the Red Devil and there was no one alive, Charles chose to remotely control a Soviet officer and blow up their own warship.

Since it was one's own people bombing one's own people, this action really demonstrated "peaceful sincerity" to the point that the Americans couldn't do anything about it, but they also breathed a sigh of relief and put down the trigger.

Of course, the Soviet officer who, under Charles' control, 'saved' the world, probably wouldn't have had a very comfortable end.

But this time, it was Du Mu, a strange outsider, who destroyed the warship.

The tense atmosphere at the scene did not ease at all, but at the same time everyone was targeting Du Mu.

Listening to their constant reports to their superiors and the orders they received, Du Mu knew that it was time to demonstrate the lessons he had learned from Banner.

As he had concluded in his heart before: The temporary weakness of the strong is the long-term pain of the weak.

Du Mu raised his hand slightly, and his fingers were as sharp as swords. The next moment, all the officers and soldiers on the two countries' aircraft carrier battle groups, as well as the two countries' top leaders who were observing the scene with military cameras, had their pupils dilated.

The huge red sword that easily destroyed the Soviet warships...one after another, continuously condensed on all the warships and aircraft carriers of the two countries!

Every soldier at the scene broke out in cold sweat on his back.

Even the officers mostly looked pale or solemn.

The supreme commander of the US aircraft carrier looked at the giant swords on other warships, swallowed his saliva, and immediately rushed out of the command room, came to the deck, and looked up.

Sure enough... the same sword blade was hanging straight down in the air.

Facing the tip of the giant sword, the highest commander of the US aircraft carrier didn't want to admit it... but at this moment, his legs really went weak.

He never thought that in this age when even nuclear bombs have been invented by humans, he would break out in cold sweats and feel so terrified that he would want to scream just because a "cold weapon" was pointed at him.

Well, it's too offensive to call it a cold weapon. Although it's not as hot as a nuclear bomb, at least Du Mu's red giant sword is much hotter than ordinary flamethrowers or thermite, so it can barely be considered a "hot weapon."

Charles, who was far away, saw this scene and had only one thought in his mind.

What sword of Damocles.

This giant sword that floats above people's heads and may fall at any time was originally just a description... but when it really appears, people can understand what kind of huge horror it is.

Du Mu looked around the sea and knew that he could not let these soldiers continue to be frightened.

Since I didn't make any demands, they don't know whether I was just trying to intimidate them or really want to kill them. They might be overwhelmed by fear and do irrational things.

Therefore, after condensing countless giant swords hanging high in the sky, Du Mu said calmly: "I am here for world peace."

This statement is indeed true in this situation.

"I know that nuclear weapons have given you unlimited confidence and courage."

His voice was not loud, but without the use of any amplification equipment, his words were still heard by everyone.

Everyone, no matter how far away, hears the same sound.

"I know that you hope that everyone will be afraid of you and terrified of you because you hold the world's largest weapon of destruction in your hands."

"Even if the other party, like you, has nuclear weapons."

Du Mu understood that words could not resolve any dispute.

At least it cannot resolve any disputes between groups.

As the great man once said, the truth is within the range of the cannon.

It is also very important to let the enemy know that your range is not that far...

"So I came here this time to break your illusion and calm you down a little."

"Attack me... Attack me with nuclear weapons."

"You only have one chance. I won't blame you for your attack because you don't know whether your most proud weapon is effective or not."

As he finished speaking, the sea remained calm.

Not only on the surface, but even inside each warship, you could hear a pin drop.

They really wanted to laugh at a person who dared to face nuclear weapons, what a madman... But on the other hand, looking at the sword of Damocles above their heads, their underwear was almost soaked with sweat.

What kind of monster is this?

Or is it God?
Before humans are about to mess up everything, before they kill each other and destroy the world because of their own arrogance and stupidity... do gods appear to stop the disputes among humans?

Du Mu knew that even if he promised not to fight back the first time, it would not be easy to make up his mind to issue the order to launch nuclear weapons.

Therefore, Du Mu slowly flew to a small island not far away and left the middle position between the two aircraft carrier battle groups.

For humans today, it seems that the farther the enemy is, the more confident they are.

When Du Mu arrived at the island, he saw that the nuclear submarine had almost disappeared.

Instead, there was a huge, constantly wriggling metal sphere.

Eric has indeed made sufficient improvement. Under Du Mu's guidance and the increase of his true energy, he no longer regards metals as different individuals, but as fluids that can be freely fused and split and circulated at will.

Coincidentally, when Du Mu arrived, the metal ball suddenly spit out a person, a woman whose whole body was bound by metal rings.

It seems that he is the "angel" who was recruited by Charles but defected to Sebastian. His mutant abilities are the ability to fly and spit high-temperature acid.

Mystique stepped forward, knocked the struggling angel unconscious, and dragged him aside.

Then the metal ball spit out another man, who was also bound by countless metal rings. After appearing, he immediately spun like a top, and a small tornado was formed in the blink of an eye.

Eric pointed his finger, and the metal ring immediately strangled the mutant named "Torrent" and knocked him unconscious. This time, he was dragged away from the metal ball by Hank.

Du Mu took a closer look at Hank and found that he still maintained his human appearance. He was not like in the original book, who used a potion based on Mystique's X gene and turned into a blue beast due to side effects.

I don’t know if it was because he didn’t do it, or because of the butterfly effect, he was able to create a perfect medicine with no side effects.

Charles looked at the two warships that were in deathly silence on the sea in the distance, and then looked at the real Sword of Damocles above their heads.

Well, if it were me, I probably wouldn’t dare to move.

But Charles was a little nervous and said, "Mr. Du Mu, is it really possible? Facing nuclear weapons directly, isn't it too risky?"

If it was before he gained Eric's control of magnetism, or if there was no Ark reactor, Du Mu would not be confident that he could face nuclear weapons head-on. At most, he could try to destroy them remotely, but he could not guarantee whether he could escape if the enemy detonated them prematurely.

But now, Du Mu just smiled and said casually: "Not to mention me, even Eric now can face nuclear weapons if he is prepared."

Eric smiled confidently upon hearing this.

However, he still said modestly: "If the enemy did not launch nuclear weapons directly at me, but instead released nuclear weapons in a circle hundreds of kilometers around me, I would probably die from the high temperature and radiation coming from all directions."

"I can only say that I am confident that I can make the nuclear bombs launched directly at me lose control, malfunction, and fail to detonate, or I can directly control them and fire them back."

When the people around heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

With Du Mu and Eric here, it seems that even if they are attacked, they will not die directly on this island.

While a few people were talking, the metal ball spit out another person... a diamond man.

Needless to say, it was Emma the White Queen.

In the original book, she was captured by Eric and Charles while seducing a Soviet official, but here, the two of them followed Logan to the nameless island, and the White Queen naturally stayed with the Black Emperor.

Charles suddenly showed a complicated look.

He had read Logan's memories and it seemed that he had been badly harmed by him.

However, Charles was not the kind of person who would kill future criminals in advance, so while he remained silent, the others did not pay much attention to the diamond man.

Du Mu just glanced at the other party. Considering that his group of "students" would need to fight with Sebastian next, and Charles did not dare to use mind reading in front of him, he had to ban the opponent's mind interferer accordingly.

He raised his hand, and the metal on the White Queen suddenly loosened, and Emma fell to the ground.

Before she could figure out what was happening, she was horrified to find that even though she didn't have any metal on her body, she was still floating uncontrollably and slowly flew in front of Du Mu.

There was fear in the eyes of White Queen Diamond. She had heard clearly Du Mu's declaration on the sea. She was also horrified by the scene where the Red Devil was strangely put into the other party's backpack. She was not even sure whether the Red Devil was still alive.

Du Mu smiled slightly: "Diamond is carbon after all, and it can be burned by a slightly larger fire... Of course, even so, it is much higher than the temperature that ordinary people can withstand, so it can't be considered a weakness."

As he spoke, the transparent magic power that bound Emma became redder and hotter.

Emma said in horror: "I surrender!"

He is truly a member of the Hellfire Club.

Emma surrenders faster than the Red Devil.

Du Mu lowered the temperature again and ordered the surrendered captives: "Restore your human body."

Emma did as she was told. After all, even with a diamond body, it was nothing more than a pile of firewood under the opponent's ability.

Du Mu, who had already figured out how to knock someone unconscious, then used his magic power to knock Emma unconscious and then threw her to the ground.

Charles understood a little, but Mystique asked in confusion: "Why did you knock her out alone?"

Charles explained for Du Mu, "Because she has two mutant abilities, one is diamond transformation, and the other is mind reading similar to mine. Mr. Du Mu probably doesn't want us to be on guard against her sneak attacks when we're fighting Sebastian."

Just then, a loud noise was heard suddenly.

Mystique and the others looked over quickly and saw that a huge bulge had appeared on the huge metal sphere formed by the nuclear submarine!

This bulge almost turned the metal sphere into an overturned metal gourd. It can be said that if it were not for Eric's control, which gave the metal unparalleled ductility and flexibility, it would have been broken by the people inside.

Eric sneered: "You still care about your subordinates? You dare to use all your strength only when all your subordinates are gone." "If they are not mutants, I really want you to kill them with your own hands..."

Charles said worriedly: "Eric..."

Du Mu shook his head: "He is just venting, just ignore him if he is just talking."

Charles could only nod and look at the other captured mutants with relief.

In Logan's future, because Eric was killed by Sebastian, he later led the mutants to besiege Sebastian, but it cost a huge price to capture the other party.

This time, Charles certainly couldn't persuade Eric to spare his life...

Although Charles did not receive any teachings from Du Mu, he only gained the true energy that enhanced his physical fitness, making up for the regret that his abilities had no effect on his body.

But Charles, by reading Logan's memories, grew much more than others, and understood the priorities of things and that some people are indeed not worth saving.

"Boom buzz——!"

Another huge bulge appeared on the metal sphere, followed by a series of attacks, which continued to emit a huge buzzing sound.

Eric couldn't keep up with the speed of controlling the metal for a while. With a final bang, a man in a black suit and a helmet jumped out of the metal ball.

Wow, Black Nezha is born!
Of course Du Mu did not express his inner complaints aloud, as otherwise it would damage his image, so he maintained a calm appearance on the surface.

Sebastian stood there, glancing around.

He looked at his captured men, frowned slightly, then looked at Eric and the mutants behind him, his expression slightly moved.

"You seem to have become much stronger. How did you do it in such a short time?"

Sebastian asked curiously.

Eric sneered. He was not standing there stupidly just now... On the contrary, it was stupid of him not to distance himself immediately after Sebastian left the metal.

He had just secretly controlled a small section of metal and gradually approached Sebastian's helmet from behind.

The next moment, Sebastian turned around suddenly and punched the metal that Eric extended back into the metal ball, as if he was kneading the pulled out noodles back into dough.

But the huge metallic noise still spread throughout the island.

Then, Sebastian took a step forward and kicked the huge metal ball directly out like a football!

The strong wind pressure and the explosive sound made Moira, the only CIA agent without true energy, cover her ears in pain.

The huge amount of metal kneaded by the nuclear submarine, weighing nearly tens of thousands of tons, flew far away and slammed into the central sea area between the US and Soviet armies, creating huge waves like a meteorite impact.

At this moment, both the United States and the Soviet Union woke up from their dreams, and all communication equipment became noisier than ever before.

Sebastian slowly turned around, twisted his neck, looked at Eric, and smiled, "Little Eric, you are so naughty... You are very good. Facing the murderer of your mother, you can calmly save your compatriots before taking action. I admire you more and more, Eric."

"You see, we are the same people... We care about our fellow man, not humanity."

"Can't you forget the little discord between us? After all, I was also training you..."

He said as he walked towards Eric.

Hank suddenly rushed towards Sebastian from behind, and Mystique screamed, "No!"

Just as Hank was about to touch Sebastian's helmet, a huge shock wave surged out from Sebastian's body, instantly blasting Hank away.

"Oh? He's not dead?" Sebastian turned his head in surprise and looked at Hank who had just flown to the beach.

Hank also sat up in surprise and found that he was unharmed.

This was of course the result of Du Mu using his magic power to protect the other party.

While Sebastian turned his head, Eric had already controlled the metal that was used to restrain the White Queen, turning it into countless tiny iron filings and pounced on Sebastian!
His eyes were full of murderous intent. Although he knew that Sebastian could absorb kinetic energy, Eric had not tested it thoroughly. What if his body was not protected? As long as a piece of iron filings could enter his ears, nose and throat, Eric could make iron wires grow all over his body!

Sebastian shook his head in boredom, his body flashing and releasing intense energy again and again.

It's just like... releasing nuclear bombs in batches.

The gusts of hot wind not only melted and demagnetized all the metals Eric was controlling, but also made Eric feel a burning sensation on his face.

"Whether you admit it or not, Eric."

"I created you. I selected you from the mediocre mortals and forged you into what you are today."

"How do you like it?"

Sebastian came to Eric, reached out his hand, touched his head, and smiled.

Then a tiny amount of kinetic energy was released... probably equivalent to thirty times the punch of an ordinary person, knocking Eric headfirst into the sand.

But then, Eric rolled over several times in an instant, left Sebastian, and retreated to Charles' side with a grim look on his face.

"Huh?" Sebastian looked at Eric in surprise, then looked at his hands.

"I thought I had thought highly of you, but I didn't expect you to surprise me again, Eric."

Sebastian smiled, held out his hand to Eric, and said sincerely: "Join me, Eric. From the first sight, I knew that you and I are of the same kind."

"If we join forces, we will surely become the true rulers of the entire Earth, freeing mutants from shackles and allowing them to live openly on this land!"

Eric slowly closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.

Then, he said dejectedly: "Mr. Du Mu...I'm sorry, I'm too arrogant."

"I wanted to avenge my mother personally, but as expected, I am no match for this bastard."

"Thank you for your understanding and for allowing me to try, but please rest assured that I am not so naive as to not allow others to kill him just to get revenge with my own hands."

Sebastian's expression darkened as he looked at the only oriental man he didn't recognize.

He said coldly: "Is the reason you came to me because of this East Asian disease..."

The next moment, Sebastian's face became solemn. He covered his throat and could no longer utter a syllable.

In an instant, all the air in his abdominal cavity was replaced by a burning gas... and there was not a trace of oxygen in it.

This suffocating feeling made Sebastian involuntarily take a few steps back, trying to leave the suffocating space, but he was horrified to find that the suffocating feeling followed him everywhere.

Not only that, his helmet also flew up instantly and fell into Du Mu's hands.

Sebastian's eyes sharpened, and Du Mu read his thoughts. He wanted to make himself like a nuclear bomb and fully unleash all his strength.

This was a very correct decision. After the explosion at this distance, which was like a nuclear bomb, as long as the enemy could be killed, he could breathe again.

Even though the air we breathe may be thousands of degrees hot, it is only recovering some of the energy we release while breathing.

It’s a pity that Sebastian was facing Du Mu.

If an enemy who can absorb all physical attacks is truly able to be crushed, it is certainly not a very impactful battle scene.

Under the gaze of everyone, Du Mu just looked at Sebastian calmly, and the other's eyes gradually became empty, and the whole person slowly became stupid.

There were no explosions, no fighting, no punches, no head-on collisions.

Just a little bit of...imperfect, unskilled Legilimency.

A man who was like a human nuclear bomb and a walking disaster, right there on the island, in front of everyone's eyes...silently turned into a soulless living dead.

The feather scale structure on Mystique's skin exploded almost instantly, making her look unusually furry.

Eric was speechless as he watched Sebastian, who had lost his ability to resist in the blink of an eye and turned from a powerful and invincible man into a fool.

Although he was confident that Mr. Du Mu could easily deal with Sebastian, this spiritual impact, without any real battle as a basis, seemed so understated, unreal... and terrifying that made people feel cold all over.

The confidence Eric had built up during this period of time disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He seemed to have become the child in the concentration camp again, powerless and without hope of changing his fate.

Just when Eric was about to fall down due to the previous impact, the person next to him suddenly helped Eric up.

Eric turned his head and saw Charles' concerned look.

Eric felt warm in his heart and smiled, "It's okay. I have true energy now. I can just heal the injury."

Charles nodded, and also used his true energy to slowly transfer it into Eric's body to help him relieve the pain in his head.

Du Mu walked up to Sebastian, looked at the other's lifeless eyes, and shook his head.

Fighting power is really like a bucket.

In the absence of cooperation, it is the shortest side that determines the ability to survive.

Sebastian also understood this, which is why he made the helmet.

Unfortunately, for Du Mu, taking away the helmet was as easy as taking something from a bag.

Then he reached out and stuffed Sebastian's body into the bag.

After all, the other party's ability is a good thing...you have to try to see if you can get it.

If possible...it would make up for one of Du Mu's own shortcomings.

Moreover, Du Mu felt the vast energy in his body, which was impacting his body almost every moment.

If he could absorb these impacts... he would be exercising his magic power and body at the same time.
