" Sometimes, you have to grab your enemy's hand to survive, Charles. The government promised me resources in exchange for your intel. I don't want to betray you and my code, but my people needed it after fighting for a long time."
Eric said with sorrow, feeling guilty about exchanging his people, but he had no choice. It was either him or Charles and he chose the latter one.
" I see. You have done the wrong, Eric. You betrayed yourself."
Charles shook his head with disappointment while using his power.
" I don't care if it is for my people!"
Eric lifted the giant metal, blasting toward him with great force.
" You only lie to yourself, Eric!"
Suddenly, a young man with a helmet stood before Charles blocking the metal like it was nothing. Moreover, he brought a few people with him under his leadership as the new head of mutant guardians in Eden.
" You! Shouldn't you remain in the past?"
Eric couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at his younger self with surprise. He saw the logo of a sword in his belt with two spears interlocked behind it.
" I am the leader of the mutants in Eden. I must protect my city and my kind from aggression, including Striker and you! Your actions caused thousands of problems and casualties to our kind and I will not tolerate your existence. You shall be imprisoned in Phantom Zone for the rest of your life."
Eric spoke loudly, looking at him with a cold face. He witnessed the disaster of his older self and saw the homicide of the government agent Striker. He saw the young mutants being experimented on by them and lost their abilities, even their lives.
" By the unanimous decision of Eden and world security, Eric Magnus Lensherr will be arrested for his war crimes and be judged in the Supreme Court of Eden as a convict."
Havok who was wearing the same uniform, snapped his fingers as the forces of Eden appeared from nowhere.
" You are surrounded by us, Eric. Surrender peacefully or we will use necessary force to subdue you."
Emma stood before them with a serious face, observing Eric who was assumed to be an omega-level mutant.
" Haha! I should have expected they would do this to me. Whether the villains or heroes, it is the same. They all work for their desires, including your leader. I will teach you what means of power"
The boiling metal coupled with a magnetic field created disaster in front of them as the ground trembled with fury. The entire planet started shaking due to the disruption of the magnetic field as various gadgets around the world captured the irregular signals.
Eric wasn't simply trying to hold them, he was moving the entire planet for himself.
" Eric, stop! You are going to kill all of us!"
Charles tried to stop but the magnetic field stopped him before he could move. Everyone beside Eric immediately lost their ability to move as they watched him with horror. This was the true power of an omega-level mutant who could control an entire planet in their palms.
" You mad bastard! For your goal, are willing to throw all those lives? I will stop you."
Young Eric intervened in his control by creating another magnetic pole. The power of the duo cracked the ground as the lightning fell with heavy rain. The magnetic field caused a geostorm that was created by an irregular magnetic field as the lightning storm raged with rain.
" This isn't going to cut. I have to free myself."
Emma understood she had to stop them before they destroyed this planet. She knew their power would eventually lead to something terrible and she had to stop before this.
" Charles, can you move?"
She turned her head around, looking at other mutants. Except for level 4 and omega levels, others weren't looking that good.
" It is still manageable, but we need to get rid of his helmet to stop him."
Charles said with a serious face as he tried to weaken the field. However, the magnetism was so strong that it created a domain that could alienate themselves from outside intervention.
" Scott, focus on his field. We have to pierce that thing."
Havok said to his brother in a loud voice.
