"Sigh …"
In the darkness of Gotham, Eric let out a soft sigh. He was standing alone on the roof, but it was as if he was talking to someone else.
"Hank is dead. That beast with a developed brain and developed limbs is dead. Just like a weak ordinary person, his skull was smashed directly. I can still remember how he and Charles helped me practice my ability back then."
At this moment, Magneto was more like an ordinary old man reminiscing about the past. He stood on the top of an empty building with his cane and looked at the battlefield in the distance. There, Seiber led his subordinates in a killing spree. When he saw the black arc light up and tear apart Orro's storm shield like cutting vegetables, Erik's eyes lit up with a glimmer of light.
"Look at them. They are like a pack of wolves that have been left to their own devices. Seiber is the real leader. He has managed these kids well, unearthed their talents, and even gave them a stronger coat. The power of the devil surges in their bodies. This external power will make them more irritable, but they are warriors. They don't need to think carefully … This is something that we should learn from."
"But I remember you said that the power of the Mutants is the strongest in the world. We don't need to use other powers to fight. It is a blasphemy to our bloodline."
A pleasant voice appeared beside Eric. A young girl in a red dress separated the darkness and walked out of the air step by step. She had long flame-like hair, a delicate face, and a long red cloak. Her body was perfect and beautiful, but she looked very young. She might be underage.
She stood beside Magneto and helped Erik take off his helmet and tidy up his white hair in a very transcendental way within the Brotherhood. She looked at Magneto's hair, and after finding that there was no problem, she nodded with satisfaction in a childish way, held the dark red helmet in her arms, and stood beside Erik.
"Dad, who is that?"
Her eyes crossed the limit of the darkness and easily captured Saber and his subordinates who were slaughtering the Xavier Mutants. The signs of demonization made the girl very curious. She turned her head to look at Eric Lancel, her father.
The latter said in a voice that was a mixture of love and appreciation,
"My daughter, that is a dangerous beast. That is Saber Hawke, the most terrifying unknown factor in the Mutant world. Even Charles and I can't control him. You see, the X-Men that Charles carefully prepared were defeated in front of him. They couldn't even stop him. More importantly, he has unlimited potential! He has a talent that makes me jealous. "
Eric's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity. He shook his head.
"If I could see his potential earlier, he would undoubtedly become the God of the Mutants under my training! Unfortunately, he and I have lost this opportunity. "
"Saber Hawke?"
The girl held Eric's helmet and said thoughtfully, "When Pietro and I lived in Sokovia, we heard of his name. I remember when the exorcists who fled from the United States to Eastern Europe mentioned his name, they all looked terrified. They called him the 'Devil'. It is said that he slaughtered more than 10,000 hybrids in New York. Did he fight against you? Dad. "
"Of course, child, and I lost. I lost because of this unknown factor."
Magneto nodded and reached out to pat his daughter's head. "Wanda, don't try to understand him. This person is very complicated, like a dark fog. The more you know, the less you will know. He is very dangerous. For you and Pietro, I don't want you to get involved in anything related to him before you really master your abilities."
At this time, Magneto was more like a father worried about his children. He reached out and patted Wanda on the shoulder.
"After tonight, go back to Sokovia with Pietro. If nothing unexpected happens, the next time you come back to this country, we will have a home that truly belongs to us."
"Shua!"
A silver light flashed in the darkness. Magneto's eyes blurred, and a silver-haired boy appeared on the stone beside him. He was piercing his ears like a gangster and playing with a lighter in his hand. The lighter was jumping on his fingertips so fast that it was like five lighters were jumping at the same time.
He saw Magneto's eyes and waved his hand indifferently, "Dad, I know.
I'll go back with my sister. This country is very boring. There are wars everywhere. It's not as cute as Sokovia. "
But Magneto didn't say anything. The old man's eyes were fixed on the two guys at the big boy's feet. His expression became ugly, and the cane in his hand hit the ground hard.
"Pietro! Did I say you were going to save them? "
The big boy raised his head and looked at his father in confusion. He scratched his head and argued, "That's right.
"But aren't they our allies? I saw that they were about to be killed by that fierce guy, so I saved them. By the way, who is that fierce guy? He's super cool! "
"Reckless!"
Magneto rubbed his forehead with a headache. His voice became serious. "Pietro, you're too reckless! Why can't you learn from your sister and think a few more minutes before you do things? They are allies, yes, but they are not trustworthy! I want to see them fight to the death with Saber Hawk. It's best if both sides are injured, not because of your unintentional actions and involve the entire Brotherhood! "
"Send them back!"
Erik said indifferently. "Throw them on the battlefield! We won't intervene in their battle with Saber Hawk! Let them fight to the death before anything else! "
Pietro shrugged and picked up the two guys to leave, but Magneto stopped him.
"No! Wait! "
The big boy turned his head and looked at his father with a puzzled face. Magneto walked over and waved his left hand. The condensed magnetic force converged into a dark claw in his hand, and then fiercely pierced into the unconscious and seriously injured Purple Man's abdomen. The magnetic force splashed and made the wound into a terrible tearing shape, cutting off all the vitality of the unlucky guy. After doing all this, Magneto nodded with satisfaction.
"Go, throw these two bodies in the ruins."
Pietro looked at Magneto's actions with a dumbfounded face. This understatement really gave the big boy a deeper understanding of his father, who he had only seen a few times since he was a child.
"Why?"
He couldn't help but ask, "Why did you kill him? Isn't he your ally? "
Magneto looked at his son with an exasperated look:
"All I did was to add fuel to the fire between the two beasts, making them fight even more ferociously. If you really need an excuse to make you feel at ease, this' Purple Man ', who is a sex maniac and violent maniac who should go to hell, has manipulated and killed at least seven of our comrades in the past three years. This is also considered the Brotherhood's revenge. Even if Seb didn't kill him, I would've sent someone to take care of him after all of this is over!"
"As for allies … Pietro, you're too naive!"
Erik Lancel turned his head and looked at the battlefield that was about to end. His tone was a little bleak.
"There are only alliances between heroes, and villains only take what they want. After the common enemy disappears, they will immediately stab their fangs at us who were fighting side by side just now. Of course, we will do the same thing. This is the terrible situation we are facing. I really wish I had a reassuring ally like Saber Hawke by my side, but unfortunately, the Mutants have no real allies in this world. We can only rely on ourselves."
Magneto's voice lowered. He turned his back to his son and waved his hand.
"In this world, we are alone. It's a pity. Go, Pietro. After this, you and Walter will leave the United States. It will be very dangerous here in the near future. I can't spare that much time to protect you. If things don't go well, I'm afraid you will have to learn to protect yourselves in the future. "
This sentence was very ominous, but judging from the situation Magneto was facing now, it was not impossible. His allies were ambitious, but the Brotherhood was supported by him alone. The worst thing was that with the expansion of Saber's influence, there were more and more unstable factors in the Mutant society, and new ideas were affecting more and more young people. The conflict between the Mutants and ordinary people seemed to be easing, but this was something that needed to be vigilant.
Judging from the number of people on both sides, once human society implemented a gentle annexation strategy, the Mutants would not be able to stop it. The guys hiding in the dark launched this assassination against the president, which gave Erik hope.
If they did not take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely oppose the Mutants and humans, it would only take a generation for the term Mutants to disappear from history and be replaced by "superheroes" or "supervillains".
A name was not a big deal, but for a race that lost its name, it meant the extinction of the race. Erik could not tolerate such a situation. He could not accept that the compatriots he had fought for all his life would live as their enemies.
This was a humiliation, a regression of civilization!
"I can't allow this to happen!"
Erik took a deep breath. The Mutants were already standing on the edge of the cliff, but most of the Mutants were ignorant of this. Only people like him could see the hidden danger. Charles, who grew up in a peaceful environment of human society, chose to compromise, he chose to fight, and the third Mutant who was qualified to discuss this matter with them chose to stand by and watch.
That's right, Syber Hawk. Perhaps he didn't realize it himself, but his Devil's Gang had been recruiting more and more young Mutants over the past few years. They had become a force to be reckoned with in the Mutant world. Syber Hawk himself was considered one of the strongest in the Mutant society. Unfortunately, Syber Hawk was a little slow when it came to fame.
Or rather, he did not put the Mutant society in his eyes at all, and all the reputation and prestige here were meaningless to him.
"Such arrogance, such recklessness … You are indifferent to the life and death of your compatriots, you could have led more people forward, but you chose to stand by and watch … No, no! Saber Hawk! You don't have the right to stand by and watch! "
Magneto clenched the cane in his hand. In this empty night, he looked at Saber, who was wantonly slaughtering Xavier's Mutants in the distance, and there was an indescribable paranoia in his eyes.
"Ability and responsibility … You have the ability, but you can't fulfill the responsibility. If you want to join this game, you must join it! I want to see your choice! "
"Don't let me down!"
On the other hand, Seiber didn't know how many people were watching the battle, and he didn't care either. He was immersed in the frenzy of battle. Hank was only the first casualty, but he was definitely not the only one. Dorothy's death had completely ignited the anger in his heart. The Xavier Mutants who had been missing for a long time had appeared at the most critical moment. Most importantly, they had snatched away the prey that was already in his hands.
The culprit, who directly caused Dorothy's death, was missing! Just before these bastards appeared, it was hard not to connect them together. Although they were not related, Saber did not have God's perspective, and he did not know all of this. Under the pressure of his anger, the string called reason broke with a "bang".
The result was the current scene.
"Bang bang bang bang"
Saber's claws, wreathed in black flames, crazily attacked the Storm Shield that Oro had raised with all his might. Every time Saber's claws struck, Oro's face would turn a shade paler. Grey Jean and Oro stood to one side. She released all of her mental strength to help Oro stabilize the thick Wall of Wind, but it was very difficult. If Saber could be stopped so easily by the two of them, he wouldn't be worthy of being a huge threat to so many organizations.
At Saber's feet, Burning John held his wound and wailed. He had made two mistakes. First, he should not have blocked Saber, who was charging at full speed. Second, he should not have played with fire in front of Saber. A casual swipe of his claw shattered his shoulder. This young man, who was still very young, was instantly defeated by the pain.
"Is that all you've got?"
Saber smashed the Storm Shield in front of him with his claw. He took a step forward and roared, "Is this all you've got?"
"Then what gave you the courage to stand in front of us?"
He raised his foot and stomped on Burning John's head, who was still trying to fight back. In an instant, his brain was splattered.
Saber glanced at the twitching corpse at his feet. He raised his claw and looked at the two girls in front of him, but when he saw their yellow pupils, he suddenly felt a little dispirited. It was meaningless to get angry with a group of puppets.
"Forget it. Since we've already killed you, let's just change to a more direct way of communicating."
