"Those who stand in my way will die!" 

Hank, holding the injured Raven, had his fur bristling as he fully transformed into a beast-like state. He shouted angrily at Erik, who stood in front of him. 

"You can try," Erik sneered, extending his arms outward as he maximized his magnetic field control. 

'Buzz—' 

Amidst the gasps of the crowd, cars parked near the square, the metal fountain heads, temporary railings set up in the square, and even the weapons held by the approaching armed soldiers all began to tremble violently. 

They floated into the air under the influence of Erik's magnetic field, converging above his head. 

"Damn it," Hank, already anxious, watched Erik gather the metal objects but could only retreat helplessly. 

Inside the conference hall, Charles looked out through the third-floor window at the turmoil in the square below. Turning to Garfield, he asked urgently, "What do we do? How can we stop him?" 

Garfield remained silent, unable to speak, but he pawed at the window repeatedly. 

Charles understood Logan's message. He clutched his head in agony and groaned, "I know, but I can't do it now! Damn it, I can't!" 

He had sacrificed his unique powers to regain the use of his legs, but now, in a critical moment, he regretted not having his abilities. No matter how much he regretted it now, it was too late. 

From the moment Erik took action, the outcome had been sealed. 

On the rooftop of the conference building, Azazel looked down at the square and sighed. "Erik is serious this time. Once he's made up his mind, there's no one who can change it. With Charles having lost his powers, Hank alone can't protect the unconscious Raven while trying to escape." 

After a brief pause, he continued, "Erik has spread metal particles throughout the square's air. This is to prevent me from taking action. Even if I teleport to Hank's side, I can't safely transport them all away." 

"This is a deadlock. But sacrificing Raven to secure peace in the future... perhaps that's a conclusion most people would accept." 

Azazel glanced at Caesar, who was standing beside him, and asked quietly, "Master, is that what you think?" 

Caesar didn't respond. Instead, he lowered his head and gently stroked Jean's soft hair. Jean closed her eyes in comfort. 

To her, the conflict below seemed distant and irrelevant; as long as she stayed curled up next to Caesar, everything was fine. 

"It's all over. Raven, Hank," Erik muttered, lowering his eyes. With a swift motion, he pressed his hands forward, and the floating metal objects hurtled toward Hank like a dense barrage of hail. 

"There's no way to dodge this." Hank looked at the descending metal with a bitter smile. Glancing at the unconscious Raven in his arms, he whispered with relief, "But dying like this, with you, doesn't seem so bad. Right, Raven?" 

Despite these thoughts, Hank still bent down at the last moment, using his body as a shield to protect Raven. 

And then, in the next instant— 

'Boom, Boom, Boom!' 

Cars, railings, metal nets, and various chaotic metal items came crashing down like an iron storm. 

The stunning display of Erik's power was captured by numerous reporters and photographers, recording this moment in history. 

But what happened next left the world even more astonished. 

"Hmm?" Erik frowned, sensing that the metal he controlled had been intercepted just before it reached Hank and Raven. 

"What... what's going on?" 

Hank, still holding Raven, opened his eyes. He was shocked as he quickly turned around. 

Behind him stood Caesar with his hands bracing against a truck, while the rest of the metal objects had piled up into a small mountain around him. 

"Master... Caesar!" Hank's eyes welled up with tears. He had witnessed Caesar take action before, but Caesar had always avoided intervening in major events, especially in front of others.

But this time, in front of the entire world, as he and Raven were on the verge of death, Caesar broke his own principles.

"I had no choice, Jean was watching," Caesar said with a helpless shake of his head. 

He added with a carefree tone, "If I can't even save an old student of mine in their time of need, then all my principles are meaningless."

Taking a deep breath, Caesar threw the pile of metal high into the air. Without making any grand gestures, the mountain of metal began to shrink visibly. 

He compressed the ten-meter-high mass of metal into the size of a soccer ball, casually flicking it between his hands before tossing it upward. 

Then, with a quick, powerful kick, he sent it flying. "Erik, this one's for you!"

The compressed metal ball broke the sound barrier, causing shockwaves to ripple through the air. Erik stretched out his hands, pouring all his strength into controlling the magnetic field, but he could only slightly alter the ball's trajectory.

'Whoosh—'

The metal ball barely missed Erik's head, skimming just above him before smashing through a memorial stone in the square and continuing into the sky until it disappeared from sight.

Cold sweat dripped down Erik's pale face. If the ball had been just a bit lower, it would have smashed his body.

Caesar looked at him and asked, "Do you want to keep going, Erik?"

"Caesar, this is the last time I'll call you 'Teacher,'" Erik said solemnly. "You must know the consequences if Raven is allowed to live. And now, you've exposed your powers to the public— who knows how severe the consequences of that might be."

"I understand," Caesar replied, glancing at the stunned crowd surrounding them. He sighed softly, realizing that his peaceful days were likely coming to an end. Raising his hand, he gestured toward the rooftop of the conference building.

A burst of crimson flames appeared in the square, and Azazel emerged from them, placing his hands on Hank and Raven. "Master, I'll take them to tend to their wounds."

As soon as he finished speaking, Azazel teleported Hank and Raven away in a flash of red fire.

Knowing that once Caesar intervened, everything would be resolved, Erik quickly flew away from the square, using his magnetic powers to escape.

"The world is about to get chaotic," Caesar thought to himself with a sigh. In a blur of motion, he flew up to the rooftop and reached out to Jean. "Let's go, Jean."

"Okay," Jean replied with a radiant smile, leaping into Caesar's arms.

Holding her, Caesar floated upward, accelerating rapidly as they left the chaotic scene of the conference square far behind.
