Eric hadn't flown far when he saw the crowd of Hellfire near the battlefield.
He froze and a smile appeared on his face.
Was this a preparation to go and join him against the Black Queen?
A thought appeared in his head and Eric descended with the metal coffin behind him.
Eric appeared in front of the crowd.
The people of Hellfire were stunned and couldn't help but take a step backwards.
The battle just now was so terrifying that it had gone beyond their imagination.
They had wanted to go and help, but they had just reached not far from the battlefield when they saw a meteorite blast down and were then swept away by a hurricane-like shockwave.
Then ...
they didn't dare to go over.
Now Eric was back, that meant the Black Queen ...
The crowd's eyes looked to the metal coffin floating behind Eric.
Eric understood the crowd's thoughts at this time, and with a gentle wave of his hand, he said with a tired face, "It's over."
With that, the metal coffin opened, revealing the Black Queen inside.
It clicked!
Like a ball of soft mud, the corpse fell to the ground.
It was the Black Queen ...
The Hellfire men were quiet for a moment, then cheered out as they surrounded Eric and tossed him up.
"Magneto!"
"Magneto!"
They cheered, excited.
For Eric, and for themselves.
The Black Queen was dead, they were free, they didn't have to collect life force for the Black Queen or fear being turned to dust by her anymore.
And through this battle, they found out that Eric was no weaker than the Black Queen.
Eric was released by them, and the crowd looked at Eric with excitement and thrill in their eyes.
Just then, Fire Venom said, "I propose that Eric become our new chief!"
The giant stone statue said nervously, "I have no problem with that!"
Soundwave clapped his hands, but startled the crowd.
Soundwave had a previous history of waving his hand but subconsciously using his powers.
"Cut!"
Giving the crowd a blank look, Soundwave smiled brightly and said, "I agree too!"
Eric was powerful, not only did he solve the Black Queen and save the Hellfire people from the Reign of Fear, but he even saved their lives in the battle just now ...
The people looked at each other and nodded their heads in agreement.
Fire Venom looked at Erik and said excitedly, "Magneto! Our new leader, the new king of Hellfire!"
Eric frowned.
The crowd saw Eric's expression and their hearts thudded.
Did it mean that Eric would not agree?
Fire Venom inquired nervously, "Eric? You don't mean to be refusing right?, we will only agree with you as our leader now!"
Eric was silent for a few seconds and flashed a smile at the crowd.
"Okay."
"Magneto!"
"Roar!"
"Bravo!"
The crowd cheered.
Eric lifted his hands and pressed them down vainly, saying, "I promise, but I don't want to be any kind of king."
With a flash of his eyes, he said aloud, "From this day forward, we are no longer Hellfire, we are the Brotherhood!"
The Brotherhood?
The Brotherhood!
The crowd murmured a smile of approval.
"Magneto, what do we do next?"
Fire Venom asked excitedly, eager to be sent by Eric right away to do something big.
Eric smiled lightly and said, "I do have one more thing that I need you to do right now."
Fire Venom's face was solemn as he said, "What is it? I promise to do it!"
Eric patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's not difficult."
The crowd was a little curious.
Eric pointed at the Black Queen's corpse and said, "Burn her."
Fire Venom was stunned and looked at Eric excitedly, saying, "Is that a way for us to say goodbye to the past once and for all? It simply makes so much sense!"
Eric: "..."
Nodding, he responded softly.
If you say so, yes, although he was actually just afraid of her resurrecting or something because of the Black Queen's bizarre abilities ...
A burning flame appeared from the hands of Fire Poison.
It was thrown by him at the Black Queen's corpse, and the flame grew larger, completely engulfing it.
Watching the corpse being quickly burned to ashes, Eric said, "Let's go."
The crowd nodded and followed Eric as he quickly departed.
Meanwhile, over on the battlefield.
Charles also slowly walked towards the people waiting for him.
Looking at Charles who slowly walked out, the faces of the crowd were different.
The surprise and excitement of people like Logan and Hank McCoy, the shock, exclamation and fear of the S.H.I.E.L.D. crowd ...
The mood of all of them at this moment was clearly sensed by Charles.
He stood in front of the crowd and gave a smile as he said, "It's over, the Black Queen is confirmed dead."
Although they had already guessed it when they saw Charles walk out of the battlefield, everyone still cheered out when Charles himself said the news.
Looking at the cheering crowd, Hill and Hawkeye, who was on the side, looked at each other, and although their faces were stony, a smile involuntarily appeared at the corners of their mouths.
Charles was more powerful than they could have imagined, and that was something to be on guard on.
But, fortunately, Charles was now on their side, and it was a matter for rejoicing that the battle had indeed been won.
Only, this time, their S.H.I.E.L.D. losses were somewhat significant.
Not to mention the weapons and the men lost, just look at the destroyed building ...
Their Director must be very distraught.
Thinking of Nick Fury's headache, Maria Hill and Hawkeye couldn't help but laugh out loud with happiness.
Though they are a bit wrong....
"Bang, bang!"
Nick Fury, who had been teleported off the battlefield by Mike and had arrived at the underground base, couldn't help but slap the table twice as he looked at the screen, coming back from the battlefield ahead.
He was too damned happy.
It hurt those Hydra's!
As for him, was it painful?
Yes!
After all, he was the one who had watched it being built in the first place, but it was better than Hydra lurking within it.
Besides, with this bombing, those Hydra will definitely have to rebuild their headquarters, so he can covertly operate ...
Gee, another sum of money could be made.
When you think about it like that, that drop of heartache ... is nothing!
And apart from that, the power Charles and Eric had shown was the thing that really made him happy.
"It's too strong, it's too strong!"
That scene of the meteorite falling from the sky made him excited just thinking about it.
All this mighty power would be the power to guard the Earth in the future!
Just the thought of it almost made him dance in happiness.
"The Kents really are all cheats."
Suddenly, he muttered with an odd expression on his face.
Mike aside, he had no idea how strong Mike's powers were.
Clark, who had been able to fight Carol before his powers were fully unleashed when he was still a teenager, should have become even stronger by now, no surprise.
And Charles and Eric's powers were like few others in the world.
Could it be that all the children adopted by Mike really do have great powers?
So was it too late for him to acknowledge a godfather or something?
Slap!
He slapped himself on the head to get this absurd thought out of his mind and got up to walk outside the base.
