Chapter 31 - 31

Li Yue couldn't help but think, if Shaw hadn't had plot armor in the movie, he would have been killed by Shaw countless times.

"Li Yue, go bring back Havok and Alex, and have them attack Shaw together!"

"Won't that just let him absorb more energy?" Li Yue asked the question in his heart!

"I've observed Shaw's abilities. His mutant power should be to absorb and release energy. But he definitely has an upper limit to energy absorption. If he absorbs more energy than that limit, his body won't be able to withstand it. He just absorbed a nuclear reactor, so he should be close to his limit. We just need to give him a little push," the Professor explained to Li Yue.

"Alright, I guess I'll have to listen to you now." Li Yue saw that Magneto could still hold on for a while and decided to quickly go bring Alex and Havok back.

Alex was currently being held at gunpoint by a group of soldiers, and he consciously put his hands on his head. He wouldn't dare to resist these heavily armed soldiers.

Suddenly, Li Yue appeared beside him, grabbed him directly, and disappeared.

Only a group of bewildered soldiers were left behind. Who am I? What am I doing?

Li Yue, who had brought Alex back, didn't stop. He believed the Professor would tell him what to do.

Li Yue went directly to find Havok. He had been thrown into the sea for so long; wouldn't he have drowned?

Soon, Li Yue found Havok flying up and down into the sea, having a great time.

"Damn it, we're fighting for our lives over there, and you're playing here." Li Yue was speechless. He appeared directly beside Havok and took him back to the shore.

Havok was just about to dive into the sea when he unexpectedly was subjected to such an ordeal by Li Yue. The sea in front of him suddenly turned into a beach, and Havok directly fell to the ground, taking a "face-plant"! Li Yue, seeing this, almost burst out laughing.

However, Li Yue didn't have time to think too much. Magneto was almost crippled by Shaw over there.

The metal plates used for defense had been burned red by the energy. Then, another energy attack from Shaw blasted a large hole through them.

Li Yue quickly came to Magneto's side and took him, continuing their escape... On the other side, the Professor had also finished instructing Havok and Alex, telling them to attack Shaw from a distance.

Shaw welcomed all these energies, absorbing them all into his body. His attack frequency also became faster and faster, forcing Li Yue to constantly dodge with Magneto.

This continued for more than ten minutes. Shaw felt something was wrong. He no longer attacked Magneto frantically but occasionally attacked Havok and Alex, who were attacking him. This made Li Yue feel a bit difficult. He now had to take care of three people. Whomever Shaw attacked, Li Yue had to go to their side to rescue them.

Shaw suddenly stopped his frequent attacks and began to stand still, with his fingers interlaced and a walnut-sized ball of red energy in the center of his palms, slowly growing larger at a visible rate.

Was he going to unleash a big move?

Li Yue thought this, but his mental power poured out, closely watching Shaw's next move, to see who he was going to attack, so he could take them and run away at the first opportunity... After a full ten seconds, Shaw stopped charging. The energy ball in his hand had become the size of a basketball, which was the result of his continuous compression; otherwise, it would have been even larger.

The red energy even turned somewhat purple. From a distance of more than ten meters, Li Yue could feel the terrifying power contained within it. It was truly terrifying.

Finally, Shaw finished charging and directly blasted towards Havok, moving extremely fast, like a meteor streaking across the sky.

Li Yue quickly came to Havok's side and took him to dodge, narrowly avoiding the energy blast.

This was indeed Shaw's ultimate move, charged for more than ten seconds. The ground it passed over left a scorched mark... "Li Yue, no, his target isn't Havok, but the warship on the sea behind him." Just as Li Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the Professor's anxious voice suddenly came to his mind.

After hearing the Professor's words, Li Yue turned to look. Sure enough, that ball of energy was rapidly blasting towards a warship. The seawater in its path was evaporated into white steam by the terrifying energy it contained.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue didn't have time to think. He disappeared from the spot directly... "Report, officer, radar detected a terrifying energy heading towards us, unable to intercept, unable to dodge!"

On the battleship, a soldier suddenly reported loudly.

At this time, the commander was already too busy to listen to the soldier's report. He had been paying attention to the situation on the shore and had already discovered with horror that a terrifying energy was heading towards them, and its target was precisely the warship he was on.

"It's been a pleasure serving with you all." The commander patted the shoulder of a soldier next to him, then straightened his body, ready to face the impending death.

"You too, sir!"

...Suddenly, when the energy was less than a hundred meters away from them, a figure suddenly appeared in front.

The figure raised both arms, and from the palms, they began to transform, gradually turning into silver-white metal. Finally, they became a silver-white shield, more than one person tall and more than one meter wide.

However, this shield was too thin, only a few millimeters thick.

It sounds like a lot of time passed, but in reality, this process was completed in less than a second.

At this moment, that ball of energy also directly slammed into the shield in front of the figure.

Boom!!!

A deafening sound entered everyone's ears, making them involuntarily cover their ears.

At the figure's position, a violent explosion created a small mushroom cloud. The surrounding seawater was evaporated by the high temperature of the explosion, making a "sizzling" sound, and white mist filled the air, obscuring the scene inside.

"Officer, we're saved!"

...That figure was Li Yue. After being reminded by the Professor, he went directly in front of the energy. Li Yue knew that his body's ability to absorb energy was not enough to absorb this level of energy, so he could only use his arms to transform into an Adamantium alloy shield to withstand it. Fortunately, Adamantium alloy lived up to its reputation as the hardest metal; even under such a violent explosion, it did not harm Li Yue.

At this time, Li Yue had already disappeared from there and returned to the shore. Without him, Shaw would quickly deal with Magneto and the others.

The battle on the shore fell into a stalemate again.

However, humanity would not stand idly by. High-ranking officials from all sides received the reports and immediately fell into intense discussions.

Ultimately, all high-ranking officials unanimously decided that those mutants must be eliminated. They were afraid; they were afraid that they might be killed at any moment by someone with teleportation abilities, they were afraid that their minds might be invaded at any moment, revealing their unspeakable secrets... In short, the higher-ups issued an order to attack, to eliminate them at all costs.

When the commander on the warship received the order, his brows furrowed, but soon, his eyes became firm.

"Everyone, prepare for battle. Target the people on the shore, prepare..."

"Officer?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you know they saved us?"

"I know!"

"Then why do you still..."

..."I am a soldier!"

"Fire!"
