Marvel: Sign-In System – Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Chapter 260: Imperial War Commander Reacher and the Magma-Magma Fruit



Besides, Logan liked Terra far too much.

This place could make him stronger.

Over the years, Logan had suffered more than his fair share of defeats, both major and minor. On the surface, his abnormal healing factor and Adamantium skeleton made him seem formidable.

In reality, he was little more than roadside fodder.

Basically, any truly powerful opponent could make him suffer.

That wasn't even counting Magneto, his natural counter.

In the past, Logan might not have cared. After all, his ability was what it was. What could he do even if he was unwilling?

There had been no room for improvement. If he was going to suffer later, then he would suffer. Logan did not like wasting energy on that kind of thing.

The only thing he struggled over was finding his memories.

Before, if he wanted to lie flat, he would just lie flat. But now things were different.

Logan had asked around. Those Astartes, Raven, and Grey Knights had originally just been ordinary soldiers.

But after being chosen, they had gone through training and mastered this kind of powerful strength.

Every one of them had physical strength above a hundred tons. Beating Logan was as easy as playing around.

Logan's healing factor meant he was virtually impossible to kill by physical means, but that did not mean there were no other ways to make him suffer a fate worse than death.

Among the X-Men, he was someone important.

In Terra, he wasn't even qualified to be a training dummy. It was said the previous one had been the son of a Demon King.

Heh. That was a depressing thought.

And with quite a few mutants already serving in the three major Warbands, it meant mutants also had a path to grow stronger.

Then what else was there to say? Wasn't it just loyalty?

I'd give it.

Logan was reckless and stubborn, but once he made up his mind, he never wavered.

And his impression of Terra was more than just good—it was excellent.

Laughter and joy could be found everywhere. Although Terra was still in the early stages of development and construction, he could sense the people's genuine happiness and their passion for building a better life.

The other X-Men felt the same. Ororo, for example, had rarely seen Professor X so passionate.

"Brother, when can I become stronger too?" Carrie turned slightly, raised herself on tiptoe, and whispered into Matthew's ear.

"When you graduate. Enjoy your school days for now—you don't need to worry about anything else, understand?" Matthew pressed down on the little witch's head in annoyance.

Seeing Carrie's pouting, aggrieved look, he rolled his eyes. "Didn't you make a promise with Gwen? What, are you abandoning your friend already? What happened to sisterhood?"

"I just wanted to help you..." Carrie sounded even more aggrieved, her index fingers poking each other aimlessly.

Matthew felt a headache coming on. When did this girl learn to play the innocent victim act?

"Aww, poor Carrie. Why do you have such a bossy and heartless brother? Come into big sister's arms."

Neagley, who loved fooling around, immediately started acting. With an exaggerated expression, she hugged Carrie and gave her a hard kiss.

"Heehee~" Cradled in Neagley's arms, Carrie stuck out her tongue, brimming with joy.

The corners of Rogue Marie's lips curved into a sweet smile. She liked this atmosphere.

When the situation called for it, whether it was Matthew, Neagley, or Natasha, they could all be dignified. But in private, they were warm and approachable.

They joked around, laughed together, and spread joy. There was no pressure and no negativity.

Boom!

While they chatted and laughed on one side, the battle between Reacher and Juggernaut escalated once more.

"Roar! You little bug!"

Juggernaut bellowed like a heavily armored tank as he charged at Reacher with enough force to crush everything in his path.

His speed shattered the sound barrier in an instant.

That was what made Juggernaut truly terrifying. He had never been a lumbering brute with strength but no speed. On the contrary, his speed was just as monstrous, especially his instantaneous acceleration, which was almost beyond imagination.

Juggernaut relished this kind of battle. It was an instinct bestowed upon him by the Crimson Gem. The fiercer the fight became, the more it fueled the rage and exhilaration within him.

As for Reacher, facing Juggernaut's head-on charge, a crimson glow flashed across his eyes as an overwhelming torrent of Haki began to gather in his hand.

But before it could fully take shape, the terrifying Haki suddenly dispersed. It had failed.

Reacher's original purpose in this fight was to use his battle with Juggernaut to awaken Conqueror's Haki coating.

Unfortunately, he had awakened Conqueror's Haki only recently.

After the Empire was established, his powerful conviction, bearing, and other qualities had indeed allowed his Conqueror's Haki to grow rapidly. Even so, he was still just one step short.

Reacher was not discouraged. On the contrary, his blood boiled like molten lava. This kind of flesh-to-flesh combat was drawing out his potential.

And Conqueror's Haki wasn't the only thing that could be honed through battle.

Reacher grinned wildly.

Under the shocked gazes of the X-Men, his thick right arm suddenly transformed into lava, scorching magma dripping from it.

Then he threw a punch at Juggernaut.

Terrifying flames erupted as a colossal fist of lava took shape at the forefront of the blazing torrent. Propelled by the force of a volcanic eruption, the massive magma fist roared forward.

Towering more than ten meters high, it completely swallowed Juggernaut with its overwhelming force.

Great Eruption!

Boom!

A massive explosion rang out. The earth trembled as flames soared into the sky. The blast hurled up clouds of dust and shattered rock.

The scorching heat was enough to melt any metal. After the gigantic lava fist exploded, countless volcanic bombs rained down like meteors in every direction.

Even Matthew and the others watching from afar were caught within its range.

Logan, Rogue, Storm, and the others instinctively raised their arms to shield themselves. But the volcanic bombs, each powerful enough to easily destroy a large battleship, suddenly vanished when they were still four or five meters away.

There hadn't been the slightest warning.

"This is…"

The group was startled and instinctively looked at Matthew, who stood at the very front.

Neagley was still holding the sweet-smelling Carrie, her head resting on Carrie's shoulder as she watched the fight. Natasha still had her arms crossed and did not move at all, as if she had already known.

Fine, it was just them making a big deal out of nothing... like hell it was!

Anyone would think that scene just now was far too shocking.

Reacher, the Empire's supreme Commander, could actually turn his arm into magma. What kind of ability was that?

Of course, they did not know, because Devil Fruits themselves were one of the Empire's highest secrets.

Even the soldiers of the three major Warbands only knew that the Emperor had the power to grant special abilities to others.

They still did not know exactly what those abilities were.

Only the high-ranking members of the Supreme Council, such as Reacher and the others, knew.

So when Neagley and Natasha saw Reacher suddenly use Great Eruption, they were not surprised at all.

As for the Devil Fruit Reacher had eaten, it was naturally one of the top Logia Devil Fruits—the Magma-Magma Fruit.

In truth, even Matthew had not expected Reacher to choose the Magma-Magma Fruit. He had thought Reacher would choose something like the Mythical Zoan Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon.

But unexpectedly, this big guy had chosen the Magma-Magma Fruit at first glance.

It almost gave Matthew a vision. If Reacher put on a white suit and draped a coat of justice over his shoulders, Matthew might even mistake him for that red dog.
