Just as the Hellfire mutants fell silent, Eric said faintly, "I'll go!"
"No, you can't go, I'll go!"
Fire Venom stopped Eric.
"I'm going too!"
"I'll go!"
The crowd responded.
Eric smiled faintly and said, "Do you guys think you should go and help her?"
As soon as the words left their mouths, the crowd went silent, their faces incomparably complex.
Fear, fear, resentment ...
The crowd's faces were full of negative emotions, but they still did not dare to give an affirmative answer to their liking.
Seeing this, Eric said with an expressionless face, "So, I'm not going to help her, but to stop her from coming back, to keep her there forever."
The crowd was stunned and looked at Eric with eyes full of shock.
Did that mean that ... was going to kill the Black Queen?
"Yes, that's right, just like what you all think." Eric looked at the battle in the distance and said, "Her coming back will only bring us fear and will only make us a tool for her to collect life force and discard whenever she wants!"
"I will never allow her to harm my fellow citizens like this!"
"She is simply not fit to be our leader!"
Each of Eric's words shook them and spoke to their hearts.
"So, I will return, that even if I work with those people, that even if I have to put my life on the line, I will stop her from returning and get back the freedom of all!"
He looked at everyone with a firm gaze and, amidst a pair of excited eyes, his body slowly floated up and he gave a bitter but warm smile to the crowd, saying, "Get out of here, my fellow kind! If I fail and the Black Queen returns, you can just put all the blame on me."
With those words, he shot up into the sky and quickly disappeared.
Looking at the disappearing Eric, the crowd had a complicated gaze, with admiration and respect, and even excitement.
If Eric succeeded, they would no longer have to endure the fear of having their life force absorbed at any moment.
"Slap!"
Fire Venom suddenly flung himself a slap.
The crisp sound caused the crowd to be stunned and look towards him.
He gritted his teeth and looked at the crowd, saying, "I can't believe I'm expecting this, dammit!"
"Why should he be left alone to stop it, why should the hopes of all of us rest on his shoulders alone!"
"The Black Queen! I don't want her back either!"
With that, he took a step and retraced his steps towards the battlefield.
The crowd of Hellfire looked at Fire Venom's back and fell into silence.
"I'm going too." Soundwave laughed, chasing after Fire Venom as he laughed, "Haha! The Black Queen, can't come back! We don't need her back!"
Colossus muffled its voice and gave chase.
Gradually, a fourth, a fifth ...
of all rushed to the battlefield once more.
Just as the Hellfire's ran towards the battlefield on their legs, Eric had flown back to the battlefield and was once again in front of everyone.
Seeing the returning Eric, the crowd was startled and about to attack when Eric was the first to speak, "I am here to work with you, in order to take out the Black Queen."
As soon as the words came out, the scene was stunned.
The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. looked at the mutant who had just brought them fear, not knowing how to choose.
Maria Hill's face also changed for a moment, was she going to trust the other man?
"Why?"
Charles looked up and spoke in a faint voice.
"She betrayed us and treated our lives like trash ready to be discarded." There was anger in Eric's calm voice, "Not worthy of being our leader!"
The crowd looked at each other and Charles suddenly looked at the battle over there and said, "That man is about to be unable to stop the Black Queen."
The crowd looked and was shocked.
Sure enough, the mighty and domineering armoured half-giant had just disappeared, and only the Black Queen's wild laughter came faintly from over there.
What should they do? Just let the Black Queen go?
But that would have no consequences.
So should they cooperate?
Was this mutant trustworthy?
Just then, Charles suddenly said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's your helmet that's blocking my powers, isn't it? To cooperate, please take off your helmet."
When the crowd heard this, their hearts fluttered.
This was a good idea!
As long as the helmet was gone, as long as Charles was there, there was no fear of the other side turning against them.
Eric simply threw away his helmet and calmly said, "Is it okay?"
With a flash of his gaze, Charles said to the crowd, "He's sincere, I've used my powers to make sure of that."
Several people, led by Logan, nodded, then looked to Maria Hill, the commander of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Maria Hill hesitated, and Nick Fury's voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"Yes."
Now, without any hesitation, Maria Hill said, "Okay, it's in your hands."
With that, she waved her hand and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. men, fall back!"
The battle that followed was no longer theirs to engage in.
The Black Queen ...
They couldn't handle it, they had to leave it to Charles and the others.
"You guys stay here."
Charles spoke to Jean and Ororo.
"We can join the fight!"
The two said stubbornly.
Charles looked at the two tenderly and said, "I know your courage and determination, but think about me as a teacher too."
He was really worried about these two going over.
The two nodded helplessly and reluctantly.
Charles turned his head and looked at the battle over there, his eyes flickering as he reached out and pressed his hand to his temple, the terrifying power of his mind gushing out like substance.
Jean, who was on the side, felt Charles' mind power and was amazed, even a little scared.
Was this the real power of the professor?
Of course ... wasn't!
It was still only a part of Charles' power.
He used his powers to find Mike, linking himself to his father, and said, "Dad, thank you, leave the rest to Erik and me."
Mike answered, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.
"How dare you smile?"
The Black Queen sneered at Mike's smile.
She would soon be able to defeat Mike and suck his life force.
The man's power was good but still no match for her, but it had pestered her for a short time and completely disrupted her plans.
Those fools had retreated without her orders, and when she had finished with this nasty man in front of her, she would go and show those fools what would happen if they disobeyed her orders!
At the Black Queen's words, Mike's smile widened a little more.
This was an experience boss for his two kid, and he could finally take credit for it.
A card appeared in his hand, dots of light appeared and Mike disappeared.
Watching the scene, the Black Queen screamed in anger.
Damn it, another space ability!
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, angrily, she turned around and looked at the line of people coming towards her, her face turning incomparably ugly.
