Chapter 112. Mastering Magnetism, Mutation on the Brink
----
Inside the lab.
Nolan stared at the gene structure extracted from Erik's blood. The Magnetism Manipulation sequence was more intricate than even psychic abilities.
Though both Professor Xavier and Magneto stood at the helm of mutant leadership, equals in reputation, Erik's genetic potential far outstripped Charles'.
Yet, in contrast, Charles had developed his power with astonishing precision integrating it with cutting-edge technology to create the world's most powerful neural amplifier.
It augmented his brainwaves using magnetic fields, elevating his telepathy to terrifying heights.
Erik, meanwhile, remained a primal force—untamed, instinctive. He wielded one of the most elegant and profound forces in nature like a sledgehammer.
And yet, even like this, Erik could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Charles. That alone was a testament to the overwhelming might of magnetic control.
But under Nolan's unique talent as a "Master of Research," it had taken only three days to decode the gene structure.
What's more, his findings confirmed Nolan's earlier hypothesis: the X-Gene acted as a magnetic-field mutagenic amplifier.
If Nolan could master magnetic forces, his bodily mutation traits would evolve drastically both in raw power and in the ability to delve deeper into the mysteries of the X-Gene. Magnetism, after all, was the bridge between the physical and the arcane.
