It felt like a scene straight out of the X-Men universe.

Magneto unleashed a torrent of attacks, manipulating every piece of metal and debris within his reach using his magnetic powers.

In contrast, Roger merely sighed, ignoring the effects of the magnetic field as he cut through the wave of metal and junk in a straight, unwavering line.

In the blink of an eye, Magneto saw his formidable wall torn apart, leaving a gaping hole.

Before he could react, Roger was already in front of him, gripping his neck.

"You just never learn, Erik. You can't beat me."

Roger leaned in closer as he spoke.

Under absolute power, the result was inevitable no matter how many times they fought.

Erik simply wasn't Roger's match. Even if he reversed the entire Earth's magnetic field, it wouldn't make a difference.

On a physical level, Roger was practically a God. No matter how many abilities mortals possessed, they couldn't rival a god.

Though it sounded like the boast of a villain, it was an undeniable fact.

"You bastard! You'll never stop me!"

Erik roared in defiance, his bloodshot eyes blazing with fury and sorrow. His face turned red from the rush of blood, a testament to his overwhelming emotions.

Even without mind-reading powers, Roger could sense Erik's anguish, rage, and despair.

Learning that he was a character in a fictional movie world must have dealt a heavy blow.

His life, his tragedies, and everything he held dear were nothing more than drama crafted for the entertainment of an audience.

Erik wasn't subjected to these sufferings because he was a mutant but because he was Magneto, a pivotal villain in the early parts of the X-Men series.

As a villain, he had to endure an exceptionally tragic backstory to justify his descent into darkness.

The deaths of his parents, the loss of his family—everything served a singular purpose: to make the plot more dramatic.

Knowing this shattered Erik's worldview entirely. His mind could focus on only one thought:

Find the director—or the screenwriter—and demand answers.

Then decide whether to kill them or force them to rewrite his story to resurrect his wife and daughter.

"Erik, I understand how you feel," Roger said softly.

"What could you possibly understand?!" Erik bellowed at Roger.

"I might understand more than you think," Roger said, lowering his voice. "Because it's entirely possible that my own experiences are nothing more than someone else's story! Is that enough of a reason for you?"

"..."

Erik froze, momentarily speechless.

Though their circumstances were different, Roger's experience after crossing worlds was eerily similar.

From encountering Andrea to searching for Infinity Stones, everything seemed orchestrated for the sake of some ultimate script.

However, unlike Erik, Roger had a laid-back attitude. He had gained powers far beyond ordinary people and always maintained a cheerful outlook.
