Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 674 Eric's Joining (Three-in-One)

Although the private yacht Xiao was riding on was not a 10,000-ton giant ship, it still had a displacement of several thousand tons.

However, this huge ship began to collapse and disintegrate under the pull of Eric's magnetic field.

Its anchor chain weighed dozens of tons. The chain, as thick as an adult man's thigh, coiled and twisted in the air, and the huge cross-shaped anchor head was like the head of a giant snake, constantly wriggling and swaying.

The huge metallic sound caused by the collision between the chains is very penetrating. Even on the noisy sea at this moment, this disturbing heavy collision can be clearly heard.

With the help of the falling flash bombs, everyone could see how the giant steel snake tied up the ship tightly and how it used its steel body to strangle it to death.

"Oh my God..." Oliver grabbed the fence in front of him tightly, and his skin was rubbed painfully.

Although Luo Xi had previously shown him the horrifying scene of the so-called Level 5 mutants twisting the Earth's magnetic poles, thus causing the destruction of the world, his reason still told him that all this was false.

And now, when huge anchors and chains dance wildly in the air tens of meters high and make violent noises, human beings can feel more clearly their own insignificance.

The steel was listening to Eric's orders, the magnetic field was his arm, and the steel snake quickly cut off the supporting pillars and rooms between the cabins with an unstoppable posture.

It was like a giant whale's abdomen was cut open, with bloody internal organs scattered everywhere, and countless electric sparks and ship fragments ignited in this intense collision.

The giant snake drilled into the belly of the giant whale, and then broke through the barrier from a vulnerable place. The raised steel head rose into the sky under the pull of magnetism, and even caused the yacht under it to tremble.

At this moment, all the security team members who were holding on to the armed speedboat and drifting on the sea with difficulty could not help but swallow their saliva. The dancing steel snake had already torn the ship into pieces.

If the warship was destroyed by artillery or torpedo, humans would just exclaim in amazement, but now this incredible method has made everyone fear the unknown.

It turns out that humans can have the power to manipulate objects without relying on external objects.

All of a sudden, the awe and fear of mutants in my heart grew rapidly.

"He's in the water, this idiot is about to drown!" Charles was looking for Eric's location, and suddenly found that the manipulator of all this had fallen into the water.

Mutants are not Superman. They will drown if they fall into water and burn to death if they fall into a sea of ​​fire.

In desperation, Charles took off his coat and jumped into the sea from the deck of their patrol ship.

He had to save Eric, his fellow mutant, an outstanding and extraordinary person, who didn't deserve to die here.

Charles’s idea was simple. He thought it was worth it, so he did it.

Watching Charles sacrifice himself to save others, Luo Xi couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of fate.

This pair of close friends, this pair of old enemies, the gears of fate between them finally meshed together at this moment.

The yacht that was cut off by the anchor chain soon began to sink to the bottom of the sea, but in Roche's perception, a nuclear submarine hidden at the bottom of the ship quietly broke away, then started the engine and headed towards the deep sea without any reluctance.

As long as Luo Xi takes action at this moment, no matter how advanced Xiao's nuclear submarine is, it will never be able to escape.

But if he did that, how would he rehearse the great show he had prepared?

Shaw is the sharp blade chosen by Roche. He uses him to cut off the shackles and fetters entangled on the mutants, and uses him to make the divided and opposing humans feel pain and bleed.

Luo Xi quietly left a mark on the nuclear submarine that Xiao was on. Under the influence of the authority of Ohm Messiah, an ignorant machine soul was soon born.

It obeys the commands of its Creator unconditionally and responds to the will of Om Messiah.

With the help of this positioning anchor point, even if Xiao drove his nuclear submarine to Mars, Luo Xi would be able to accurately find the other party's position.

Even Xiao and his men did not realize that the nuclear submarine they were on suddenly came to life and that they were resting in its belly.

After escaping from danger, Sebastian Shaw immediately pounced hungrily on the submarine's nuclear reactor, swallowing the surging nuclear radiation in big gulps.

His mutant talent is to absorb energy, store energy, and release energy, including but not limited to kinetic energy, thermal energy, and even nuclear energy.

Part of the energy he consumes will be converted into his own physical strength and vitality. It can be said to be a very versatile mutant ability.

But this time, Xiao suddenly felt a strange feeling.

The nuclear submarine, releasing surging kinetic energy, is trying to break free from Eric's magnetic field. He is still too weak, and the magnetic field he releases is completely insufficient to counter the power output of the nuclear reactor.

However, the abnormality was not in Eric's magnetic field, but in the nuclear reactor under him, which gave Xiao a feeling of "disobedience".

Yes, a submarine made of steel, and it was fighting against its own energy consuming it.

"What a hell."

Xiao was very cautious. He was afraid that he was having an illusion and actually thought that the submarine had come alive.

He resisted the urge to devour the energy and moved away from the reactor with fear.

Although he can absorb energy, there is a limit to it. If a nuclear bomb explodes in front of him, he will definitely not survive even if he tries his best.

"There is a psychic on the other side. He is stronger than me, but he still can't break through my mental barrier."

Next to Xiao stood a woman with a graceful figure, her body sparkling like a diamond.

It was she who was fighting against Charles's mind control, otherwise, they would have been controlled by Charles and unable to move after the previous encounter.

This is the domineering nature of psychic mutants. They completely ignore physical strength and directly interfere with the will of the mind.

"It's Professor Charles. He is also one of our mutant brothers, but he is standing against us."

Xiao put on his coat again and exploded a grenade, enjoying the pleasure of the energy explosion.

The White Queen Emma Frost looked at Xiao's intoxicated appearance with fear.

Although her diamond body is extremely hard and can even withstand attacks from bullets, like the physical properties of diamond, it will directly begin to burn and vaporize when faced with extreme high temperatures.

Above the sea, Eric was still desperately using his abilities.

He was gathering his magnetic field to keep the nuclear submarine carrying Sebastian Shaw at all costs.

After many years of tracking down clues, he finally found the executioner's whereabouts bit by bit.

His mother was shot by Xiao in front of him, countless of his compatriots died tragically in the gas chamber of the concentration camp, and even he himself was enslaved and controlled by the other side, becoming a so-called proud mutant.

Eric had dreamt of that day countless times. He saw his mother fall down after the gunshot, her blood gushing out of her chest, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop the bleeding.

And Xiao's hideous smile flashed before his eyes. He stretched out his hands to him, proclaimed his mutant supremacy, and invited him to become one of them.

The freezing cold sea water rolled into Eric's nasal cavity, stinging the fragile organ mucosa. He could no longer see anything with his eyes.

But relying on his innate ruthlessness, he still fought desperately.

However, a stranger grabbed him from behind and tried his best to pull him out of the water.

The two were swallowed by the sea, but the man's voice appeared directly in Eric's mind.

"You have to let go, Eric, or you'll drown. You may have extraordinary powers, but your body is still mortal!"

"There is still a chance. Xiao won't be able to escape forever. You will get a chance to punish him!"

Shaw's submarine was gradually moving away, and Eric finally couldn't hold on any longer. With the help of Charles, he surfaced and was exposed to the searchlight of the patrol ship.

"How the hell did you get into my head?"

Eric roared, not caring at all even if the sea water choked his throat.

"We're all born different, bro!"

Charles pushed aside the waves and climbed back to the patrol ship with the help of the Coast Guard.

The terrified Raven wrapped a water-absorbing blanket around Charles. Only she knew how terrified she was when she saw Charles' figure disappear into the waves.

She was afraid of losing her brother and being alone again.

Eric, who was also shivering at the side, looked at Charles who was enveloped by Raven's body temperature with some envy.

But now he knows that he is not alone in this world, and there are other mutant brothers and sisters waiting for him.

"For you."

Luo Xi patted Eric on the back and handed him a warm blanket.

He nonchalantly removed a strand of hair from Eric's soaked clothes, while pretending to be concerned about his condition.

The future Magneto was just one step away from freezing to death, and his body was even suffering from hypothermia due to the corrosion of the cold sea water.

If he continues like this, even if he doesn't die, some damaged body parts will have to be cut off, and by then it might be Magneto who is sitting in a wheelchair.

"Thank you."

Eric looked deeply at Roxie's face. He was with Raven and Charles, which meant that he was also a reliable mutant brother.

A meaningful smile appeared on Luo Xi's lips, and the hair in his palm was soon teleported to the secret base on Mars.

"Let's go back first and rest before stopping Xiao's conspiracy." Oliver came out to smooth things over. He didn't want anything to happen to Charles, with whom he had just established a cooperative relationship, and the newcomer Eric.

……

Mars base.

On a transmission platform, a black hair floating in the air appeared here with leaping light.

The moment it appeared, the Stoneman researchers, who were already prepared, immediately contained it in a vacuum container.

Under the movement of a transparent force field, the biological sample of Magneto Eric Lansherr appeared in an extremely spacious laboratory.

Next to it are the genetic samples of Professor X, Mystique and Raven.

Cutting-edge gene analysis instruments are analyzing the complex genetic code contained therein, especially the part about the X gene, which is the top priority for deciphering.

The base's main control computer provides almost unlimited floating-point computing power, supporting the stone people's decryption work.

Among the many stone researchers, there was one researcher who looked slightly different from the others.

This is a body of flesh and blood cloned from cells, not the stone man's body made by advanced biochemical technology. A tiny memory storage device is now inserted into his brain-computer interface.

Belisarius Cawl's personality clone appears in this special form in the X-Men universe.

He has exactly the same memories and thinking patterns as Belisarius Kaur. It can be said that they are the same person.

The difference between Kowl-1 and the original body lies in the moment when the personality template is replicated.

From then on, Cawl himself continued to work hard in the Warhammer universe, while Cawl-1 followed Roche to other universes.

"What a wise choice, Master." Cawl No. 1 looked at Eric's genetic sample in front of him in fascination and couldn't help but blurt out.

Belisariukauer is an extremely young mechanical priest. The fields he is involved in are particularly diverse. The fields of mechanics, biology, and electronic information are all within his research scope.

Especially after studying with the great sage Rand, Kaul began to delve into some extremely obscure and unpopular fields.

The Rand School itself is a branch of the Mechanicus, which advocates the preservation of the body.

Like Cawl and Rand, he did not undergo any form of biochemical modification or mechanical prosthetic implants on his body.

But if Kaul had to name an area in which he is best at, it would definitely be the field of biological genetics.

He had long considered the Space Marine Enhancement Project his ultimate goal. Completing and improving Om Messiah's unfinished creations was worth his life. After following the Great Sage Roshi to a brand new universe, Cawl realized just how precious this world was.

Relying solely on the X-gene, humans can possess mutant talents and become mutants, and then use this as a medium to leverage the power of the subspace and gain the power to destroy the world.

This undoubtedly touched the most sensitive spot in Kaul's heart. He even devoted himself to the work day and night to unearth the secrets of these precious genetic samples.

Mind control, perfect simulation at the genetic level, magnetic field control...

Even among those extremely dangerous psychics, only a few can possess such powerful strength.

Most psychics can only make fireballs and release lightning, and their use of the power of the warp is very limited.

Compared to psykers whose minds will be destroyed by the warp demons if they are not careful, these mutants can be said to have basically no major side effects.

The more crucial point is that compared to the illusory and unpredictable psychic talents, these X genes can be replicated in batches.

Even though Cole was an extremely rational person, when he thought of this, he still felt endless energy surging from his body.

He used highly concentrated nutrient solutions and caffeine-based drugs to keep himself awake and reduced his sleep time to twelve hours a week.

Even the other Stoneman researchers were worried about Kohl's physical condition.

After all, he did not have the stone man's special body structure and completely ignored the fragility of the human body.

"No, our sample size is still too small to crack it perfectly."

Cole's experiment failed again. Even with the computing power of the main control brain, he still fell under the high wall of the genetic code of the X gene.

Not to mention its complexity, the X gene can trigger the power of the subspace, which adds a huge amount of variables to the analysis.

So far, their team has analyzed more than 12% of Mystique's X-gene, and only 2.5% of Professor X's psychic mutant ability.

As for the Magneto X-Gene that has just been stored, it is still in the initial scanning and project establishment stage.

Kaul felt deeply guilty that his knowledge and talent were not enough to help Ohm Messiah solve his problems, which was a waste of the boast he had made in the first place.

"Samples, I need more samples, not just hair, but also blood, reproductive fluid, cerebrospinal fluid..."

Although Kohl still appeared calm and indifferent, the fire of ambition was burning in his eyes.

……

"Are you here to catch me?"

When Eric Lansherr arrived at the secret office building of the CIA's new mutation department from the coast of New York State, he saw the people coming and going and the emblem hanging on the main entrance of the building.

In this era, no one is unaware of how powerful the FBI and the CIA are.

Therefore, after confirming the identities of the people around him, Eric immediately became excited.

He cannot be judged now. The devil Sebastian Shaw is not dead yet, and the blood feud he carries with his compatriots has not been washed away by the blood of his enemies.

"No, of course not, calm down Eric."

Charles immediately stepped forward to comfort him. He knew how powerful the mutant brother in front of him was, even if that power had not yet fully awakened.

The mutant's X-gene is directly related to human mood swings and the strength of belief.

According to the data collected, many mutants awakened their talents under conditions of extreme fear and anger.

Anger will gradually lift the seal on the X gene, but this also means a loss of control over reason, which is not what Charles wants to see.

"No one will stop you from taking revenge. Besides, since you committed the crime in Argentina, the CIA won't be so idle as to use its long-arm jurisdiction to sanction you.

What’s more, those are damned Nazi war criminals who have escaped punishment in the past through cunning means.”

Charles's voice of solidarity eased Eric's nervous mood a lot.

He didn't trust the CIA agents, but he believed in Charles, his mutant brother who was willing to sacrifice himself to save him.

After realizing that he is not alone in the world, Eric develops a passionate affection for these mutant brothers and sisters who share the same fate as him, just like they are family members.

He found his belonging, his race, and the people he should protect.

"In fact, we have the same goal as you." Charles motioned Eric to follow and said as he walked.

"Xiao is our most wanted dangerous criminal. He has been proven to have attempted to incite and provoke a nuclear war between the two poles of the world. We have been tracking him down and will capture or kill Xiao at all costs."

What Charles, who turned around, didn't see was that Eric, who originally had extreme hatred for Xiao, actually had a glimmer of recognition in his eyes when he heard that Xiao was trying to get humans to start a nuclear war.

His hatred for Xiao does not mean that he does not agree with Xiao.

Luo Xi saw all this, and he knew that Eric was an extreme mutant whose behavior and personal ideas were completely opposite to Charles'.

Professor X also hopes to maintain good relations with humans and, after cooperating with the authorities, be able to smoothly integrate into human society.

Then Magneto simply doesn't want to continue wasting time with those humans who he considers to be "ignorant and backward".

What he wanted to do was to make the entire mutant race completely independent and establish a national regime belonging to mutants.

If possible, he wouldn't mind making all of humanity the provider of mutants. All mutants would unite together and gain glory and status far beyond that of ordinary people.

"If Magneto and that guy Abaddon meet, maybe they will have something in common."

Luo Xi thought in his heart that these two people both thought they were far superior to ordinary people and had completely broken away from the boundaries of the human race.

The former is a mutant supremacist, while the latter is a Grand Astartes.

They all believed that mortals, who were like weeds, were not qualified to occupy this great world, and that everything should be ruled by some better people.

However, in Luo Xi's opinion, these people's ideas are too narrow-minded and extreme.

Human beings do not simply refer to carbon-based creatures that were born on Earth, evolved from apes, and are able to use technological power.

Humanity is a sense of identity, a mode of thinking, and a memetic concept in a macro sense.

Like what he had discussed with Iron Man Adam before, as long as the Iron Men truly believe that they are part of the human race, then they are human beings.

On the other hand, if a person, for the sake of his own ambitions and desires, submits to Chaos and kowtows to aliens, then he will automatically be deprived of his human identity.

An iron man who fought for humanity on the battlefield of Terra and risked his life was far more qualified to be called a human than the rebels under Horus.

Roshi only hoped that Eric could be corrected by him, and if he continued to insist on his mutant supremacy, then he didn't have to keep this threat.

As research material, Magneto can be alive or dead.

Roche's ears rang with the signal from Mars, and Caul and the Stoneman researchers all said that their research had fallen into a state of sluggishness.

The mystery and complexity of Gene X far exceeded their expectations, and this would be an equally complex and long-term task.

They urgently need more different types of biological materials, and if possible, it would be best to send them to laboratories on Mars for comprehensive research.

Luo Xi rejected Kaur's request without hesitation, at least the conditions were not yet ripe.

It was with great difficulty that he came to terms with Charles.

As long as things develop step by step, at least all the mutants in the X-Men series in the future will be under his command.

If we send them to the laboratory now, isn't it telling them clearly that our purpose is to study and use them?

Although Roche has the ability to suppress the mutants' rebellion, why does he do this?

It is obvious that they can cooperate well and get what they want when it is in the interests of both sides. He gives the mutants the dignity and status they desire, and the mutants give him genetic samples for research.

And if the two sides stand on opposite sides, there will inevitably be more twists and turns. Who knows what kind of trouble those mutants with endless abilities can cause him.

If he were facing a powerful Omega-level mutant like Dark Phoenix, Roxie would not have the confidence that he could completely protect his Earth laboratory.

If he were to destroy the Earth, a hen that lays golden eggs endlessly, he would really be in tears.

Seeing that these people had the same goal as him and wanted to take action against Xiao, Eric's anxiety gradually subsided.

Although he is quite confident in his abilities, confidence does not mean arrogance.

He could control the bullets fired at him, but he was unable to stop other equally dangerous weapons.

Once the authorities completely turn against him, they will kill him at all costs. Eric has no confidence that he can survive to the end.

There are so many ways to kill a person, and using guns and bullets is just the simplest and most brutal way.

"How much available force do we have? If we want to deal with Shaw, we must have a mature and reliable mutant army."

"He is not alone. The Hellfire Club he controls has many powerful mutant accomplices with strange abilities."

"The White Queen who has telepathic abilities, the Torrent that can create whirlwinds, the Red Devil who can teleport over long distances..."

Eric said calmly that it was the White Queen who stopped him from taking revenge on Xiao on that yacht.

In front of the White Queen Emma who could directly attack the mind, his ability was completely defeated before it even had a chance to take effect, and his life and death were in the hands of the other party.

He began to fear the mind-controlled mutants and had to find a way to fight these extremely difficult to defend against enemies.

"In fact, we had the same idea, but you were the first one we looked for."

Charles patted Eric's shoulder. The man who had been in a concentration camp instinctively resisted such close physical contact, but after hesitating for a while, he chose to accept it.

Charles is different from those damn guys. He is his own kind and his own partner.

Minister Oliver brought everyone to the laboratory of his department. Now that he had Eric as a general, he was in high spirits and his confidence soared.

Two Alpha-level mutants work under him. Doesn't this prove that he has a good eye for talent?

He was also not stingy in showing off his wealth. As a special department of the CIA, Oliver did have a lot of good things to give to Charles and others.

"This is the most advanced supersonic aircraft ever. Even the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft that the military is commissioning Lockheed Martin to develop, which is expected to reach a speed of Mach 3, cannot catch up with its exhaust."

Oliver showed off his wealth with pride, and under the supersonic plane hanging in the air, a bespectacled man in a white research suit was walking towards the crowd.

"Hank McCoy, the most outstanding and talented researcher in our department."

"It was he who led the research on this supersonic aircraft."

Luo Xi looked at the shy Hank in front of him with blazing eyes. He was also a mutant who was inclined towards the field of intelligence.

"I don't need mutants who can help me kill people. Instead, mutants with scientific research capabilities are what I need."

"The laboratories on Mars gathered the stone men who were the crystallization of human technology in the Golden Age, and the sages of the Mechanicus in the Great Crusade. Countless ideas and inspirations were generated in the collision of genius brains."

"There is never too much talent. Beast Hank, Bolivar Teslask, and other scientific mutants are my targets."

In Luo Xi's eyes, Hank was already a sure thing.

ps: Lao Wan is a decent person
