"...Yes, he said he is a descendant of the Kree."
"Alright. Tell your father, we're going to capture him alive. We have some scores to settle with the Kree Empire."
Polaris glanced at the helmet atop Magneto's head. She shook her head, finding this relationship between the two quite awkward. Yet, she spoke, "I don't think he's too keen to leave. Let's skip the chit-chat and take action."
Before Paean could say anything, the mutants engaged in full-scale combat.
When Paean attacked the symbionts with sonic weaponry, Shadow and Crystal felt a simmering rage. Having spent so much time with the symbionts, they had come to consider these parasitic organisms as friends. Hearing the wails of the symbionts, their hearts tightened.
The mutants, burning with anger, attacked with inordinate power. Countless spikes spread along the ground. Paean, trying to dodge, got tangled in his own shadow.
With a "bang," a golden lightning bolt struck the ground where Paean was standing. Barely dodging the bolt, he got caught in a violent electromagnetic storm.
When Polaris rose once more, her fingertips and hair were brimming with sparkling electric arcs. Like a thunderbird soaring in the sky, her smile grew broader. As violent roars accompanied the magnetic storm, her high-pitched laughter echoed throughout the sky.
"Magnetism gives birth to electricity!"
In an instant, countless plasmas surged forward like a military regiment. When the plasma shone brightly, akin to the first light that cuts through dawn, particles began to dance and electric arcs started to leap. Polaris's hair swirled in the air, her eyes flashing with electric sparks. Then she heard Magneto's voice.
"Control it. Don't let it control you."
Polaris focused, slowed down her energy output. The magnetism of everything appeared in her mind. All destruction was precisely controlled above the ground level. As the humming sound gradually weakened, she landed, sighing deeply.
"That was harder than I thought." She shook her head. "The second level change in magnetism drains too much energy. How can one control particle movement?"
Magneto glanced at her. He raised a hand. There wasn't any major spectacle. Just a glowing cage descending from the sky, trapping the charred Paean and the deputy speaker inside.
Polaris watched the cage closely. She noticed the terrifying high temperatures radiating from it, as if the reactions of a star were taking place. Yet it didn't harm the grass or trees on the ground.
Magneto swept his cloak around, turned and left. Blue Spirit, along with other mutants, headed for Speaker's Mansion, stating casually, "There are others like council members in Speaker's Mansion. They don't matter; just evict them."
"Also, there are some civilians serving them. I hope you would allow them to leave..."
As the group moved on, Eddie stopped for a moment. He looked at the video camera in his hand. He pulled out the hard disk and handed it to Blue Spirit, who glanced at it and asked, "What is this?"
"I recorded everything he just said, including him deliberately staging accidents, appropriating the United spacecraft, and deliberately letting the defense line be destroyed during the outbreak of a war in United civilization..."
"Magneto mentioned earlier that he used the gravity shield to preserve this central region of the star zone. So, there should be many ignorant civilians on the other planets. There should be communication devices in the Speaker's Mansion that you can use to broadcast this video."
"Later, I will write a report about this. I hope you can prepare some translators for me. I need them to be professional. The title of the report will be 'United Chairman's Sins are Unforgivable, Cosmic Special Agents Uphold Justice'."
Blue Spirit was still in hesitation when Thunder stepped forward and took the hard disk, "Thanks Venom. I didn't expect you to be so sharp."
Eddie swayed his body, Venom's head appeared, and its mouth filled with sharp teeth spread into an evil grin.
As the group entered the Speaker's Mansion, Magneto and Polaris left with the two prisoners. This Kree descendant named Paean might not be the brightest, but his physical strength was impressive. Polaris's full power didn't knock him out instantly. Moreover, he started showing signs of recovery within a few minutes.
Magneto could feel his regaining life signs through his magnetic powers. But this time, he wisely chose to play dead. Clearly, it was safer to tread carefully when held in the grip of a madman capable of causing black holes.
However, he couldn't stay still for long. Because on the outskirts of the Twin Star Island system, a massive portal opened. The bow of a spaceship peeked out.
Paean looked at the spaceship, it seemed awfully familiar. Even though the patterns and colors were entirely different, he still felt he had seen it somewhere... Wasn't this a Kree spaceship?
Had the Kree Empire come to save him?
Paean's eyes lit up. But soon, he heard a language that wasn't Kree coming out from the portal.
"Damn it, we're stuck. Can someone give the portal a tap? Is it broken?" Shiller's voice rang out.
"I told you, letting someone who can only twist light bulbs drive the spaceship is not reliable. Stark is the real race driver. I'm taking over!"
Standing by the portal, Magneto watched as the massive spaceship suddenly roared to life. The engines spewed flames and, with a whoosh, it vanished in an instant, leaving a trail of red and blue in its wake.
Peter held Pikachu in one arm while gripping the cabin door with the other, preventing himself from being thrown against the wall. He screamed, "Stop him! The space-stabilizing device is going to collapse!!"
Steve rushed over, pushing Stark aside. The speed of the ship finally started to drop.
Peter heaved a sigh of relief. Then, with a "bam," he was thrown against the ceiling. The whole control room shook violently.
"Asteroid belt! Dodge it!!"
"No need! We're in the safety range!"
"Bam"! "Bam"! "Boom"! "Howl!!"
Ten minutes later, as Blue Spirit and her team boarded the Govern vessel, Thunder sighed. "Even if most transportation facilities in the core star zone are paralyzed, you guys cannot drive like this!"
"Illegal acceleration, speeding, destruction of celestial bodies..."
"And driving without a license," Blue Spirit added.
"Bloody hell, you need a driver's license to fly a spaceship?"
"Of course." Before Stark could speak, Blue Spirit cut off his defense. "And an Earth driving license doesn't count."
"But at least we didn't speed..."
"Earth's speed limits don't count either."
