Chapter 335
"Charles!"
Erik Lehnsherr shouted, and the Black King, who turned around to retrieve his helmet, was instantly frozen in place.
Erik Lehnsherr controlled the helmet to fall into his hand, looked at the frozen Black King, and said somewhat apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Charles."
While Charles Xavier was immobilizing the Black King, he was also connecting with Erik's Mind Stone, and he knew exactly what Erik was thinking.
He escaped and killed the Black King to avenge his mother!
Charles Xavier was a typical saint, or rather, a non-killer, who believed that the Black King should be punished and pay the price.
But not by killing him outright!
"Erik, no! You can be a better person, Erik. You can't turn back now!"
At Charles Xavier's urging, Erik Lehnsherr slowly put on the helmet.
With the Mind Stone connection severed, Charles Xavier angrily pounded on the wall of the airplane.
To be honest, Charles Xavier is being a bit naive; his childhood experiences are completely different from Erik's.
Erik was sent to a concentration camp as a child, and his mother was shot dead in front of him. Who could let go of such hatred?
A life for a life—that's only right!
Moreover, if Erik cannot take revenge, his hatred will never be resolved, and his Mind Stone will never be at peace.
Charles Xavier knew this too, so he only advised Erik not to kill, but did not actually stop him.
If he really wanted to stop it, he wouldn't have kept Black King pinned down.
Well, although these two best buddies have different values, they do have feelings for each other.
So although Charles Xavier wanted to dissuade him, he didn't actually stop him.
Then...
The Black King, who had been immobilized by him, was cleanly pierced through the head by Erik Lehnsherr with a coin.
In the movie, Erik Lehnsherr also gave Charles a chance to stop himself by releasing a coin, moving it slowly forward, and counting down a few seconds.
But now, without uttering a single word, Erik Lehnsherr put on his helmet and pierced the Black King's head with a coin.
As for why this is the case?
It does have something to do with Su Quan!
Although Su Quan has always remained detached from the team, his strength is undeniable, and his relationship with Moira MacTaggert can be guessed to some extent.
What if Moira MacTaggert, or the authorities behind her, want the Black King to live?
He wasn't worried about Charles, but he was worried that Su Quan would make a move, so he seized the opportunity to kill him without hesitation, lest things get complicated and unforeseen.
Amid Charles Xavier's agonizing screams of empathy, inside the submarine, a blood-stained coin emerged from behind Black King's head and clattered to the ground.
Erik Lehnsherr wiped away the tears that had rolled down his cheeks, remained silent for a long while, then turned and walked out.
"The Black King is dead." Su Quan looked at the Angel Salvadore at his feet and waved his hand to release her from her restraints.
Angel Salvadore stood up in a daze, somewhat unable to believe that the powerful Black King was dead.
She didn't doubt Su Quan's words, because Su Quan had no reason to lie to her about such a thing.
With the Black King dead, her dream of becoming Empress was shattered. What should she do now?
(Her dream of becoming empress refers to a status like the White Queen, not to being the emperor's other half.)
Not everyone is qualified to be called an empress; there are only three empresses among Mutants.
White Queen, Black King, Red Queen, there are only three queens!
Leaving aside the first two queens, the last one, the Red Queen, is quite interesting.
Her real name is Madelyn Jennifer Pryor Summers, and she is a clone created by the Mutants villain Mr. Sinister using Jean Grey's blood sample.
She possesses the same Psychic Abilities as Jean Grey, and also gains a portion of the Phoenix Force and Jean Grey's memories.
She can draw upon the Phoenix Force to summon various spirits and entities. She can also fly and use her Psychic Abilities to create a protective shield for herself.
Her most powerful ability is the Phoenix Force Chaos Force, which is considered Goblin Force.
Unlike the Chaos Force and the Phoenix Force, which are quite famous, very few people know about the Goblin Force.
Goblin Force exists only in a certain Parallel Universe, born during the Big Bang, at the very beginning of all things.
Like the Phoenix Force, it possesses limitless power. But unlike the Phoenix Force, it also has an insatiable hunger.
It devoured countless galaxies, and even the Phoenix Force itself could not escape its hunger.
Even the Galactus was defeated by its terrifying power.
It wasn't until the fifth-tier Celestials stepped forward that it was defeated, but even they couldn't completely destroy it, only seal it away, and paid the price with their lives for it.
Countless centuries later, the Goblin Force found an opportunity and Possession the Red Queen's consciousness.
In other words, finding the Red Queen gives you a chance to obtain the Goblin Force.
Goblin Force can draw energy from the universe, planets, the Phoenix Force, and Galactus. Once it devours them, it can completely convert their power into its own.
Furthermore, it possesses a terrifying ability to Reality Warping, an ability so vast it can reach cosmic scales.
It can manipulate the arrangement of molecules at will, and achieve a manipulation range on the scale of a universe.
He was proficient in all forms of witchcraft and was able to create spells that had never been recorded before.
Its mental defenses are impenetrable, and it can freely read or control the minds of others.
It also possesses a powerful telepathic ability.
Su Quan had some ideas about the Goblin Force.
After all, he already possessed the Chaos Force, one of the three great powers, and the Phoenix Force would be readily available in a few years. Only the Goblin Force was slightly more difficult to obtain.
Getting back to the main point, Black King's death means that the 'First Class' is coming to an end. Next, it's time for the missiles to be launched and the best buddies to go their separate ways.
Erik Lehnsherr wearing a helmet as Magneto and Charles Xavier becoming Professor X after being paralyzed have nothing to do with Su Quan.
He has to do what he's supposed to do!
"Smack!"
He raised his hand, the Snap rang out.
Red Devil and Havok, who were engaged in fierce battle with their opponents, suddenly felt their feet sink into the ground, and then, the person in front of them changed.
This method, which was both impossible to defend against and impossible to resist, made the two of them wary.
Although it was their first meeting, they knew who this young man was and what his abilities were.
"The Black King is dead. From now on, you will follow me."
As Su Quan spoke, Erik Lehnsherr, wearing a helmet, emerged from the submarine, and Charles Xavier and others gathered around from various directions.
The Black King is dead, they have been defeated!
The two glanced at the silent Angel Salvadore standing Su Quan, and the Red Devil asked, "Where is the White Queen?"
"She is recruiting other Mutants."
Red Devil and Havok exchanged a glance, then silently walked to Su Quan's side and stood with Angel Salvadore.
Good heavens, apart from Black King, Su Quan has wiped out Mutants in the Hellfire Club.
Erik Lehnsherr had hoped to use the momentum of killing the Black King to recruit the Red Devil, but now he had to give up.
But he wasn't going to keep a low profile; he was going to make his own declaration: he was going to go it alone!
Brothers and sisters!
"Open your eyes! Our real enemy is there!"
Erik Lehnsherr pointed to the warships on the sea that had turned their cannons towards them and spoke in a deep voice.
"Their guns were moving in the water, their cannons were aimed at us, Americans, Soviets, all of humanity."
"We are united because of our fear of the unknown!"
"They were terrified, my Mutants brothers and sisters."
Erik Lehnsherr walked to the shore and looked at Charles Xavier, who had followed him. "Come on, Charles, tell me I was wrong!"
Charles Xavier released his Psychic Abilities, and after a long while, silently lowered his fingers.
Needless to say, everyone could tell the answer from his expression.
"Mora?" Charles Xavier looked at Moira MacTaggert.
Moira MacTaggert turned and ran toward the plane to try to contact the fleet, but after a few steps, he was pulled back to Su Quan's side by a force.
"No need to go," Su Quan said, shaking his head. "They are indeed planning to join forces to bomb this place and wipe out everyone on the island!"
"You are merely collateral damage."
