Chapter 654: Broken Bridge
Squeak –
With the sound of rapid tire grinding, the vehicle escorting the grotesque man was forced to stop in front of Eric.
Stir your fingers and disassemble the tightly knit escort car in an instant, and the scene inside is really as if the six-eared grotesque man said, there is no half of the grotesque figure in it.
The whole escort car is a bait.
This lures Magneto's new freak brotherhood to take the bait.
"Just, aren't you afraid of setting yourself on fire, Tony Stark."
Looking at the empty carriage, the expression on Eric's face could not be seen in joy or sorrow.
Putting his eyes on the driver's seat of the escort car, looking at the figure with an unusually indifferent expression in front of the steering wheel, Eric immediately reacted that the man in the car was the key to fighting the attack of the grotesque man this time.
"Is it coming?"
In the driver's seat, Jack Simon looked at Eric in front of the car, narrowing his eyes slightly to reveal an expected expression.
Picking up the cigarette at hand and lighting it, a yellow light flashed from the lamp ring in his hand in the smoke produced by nicotine.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Magneto."
In a flashing thought, the cigarette that Jack Simon said was burning to the end.
As the last piece of soot scattered, the power of the [Yellow Lantern Ring] in Jack Simon's hand swelled, and it manifested itself as a roaring wild dog rushing towards Magneto in front of him.
Facing these wild dogs, Eric's brow furrowed slightly.
The movements of his hands did not hesitate at all, and he immediately controlled the surrounding vehicles to disintegrate into pieces of metal and fly towards the wild dogs.
The sharp metal shards instantly cut the wild dog in half, but this fatal injury fell on the wild dog, which was completely composed of the energy of the light ring, but it was undoubtedly greatly discounted, and the severed wild dog only paused for a moment before reintegrating and recovering, grinning and roaring, scrambling towards Eric.
Sensing that these wild dogs were not simple, the expression on Eric's face couldn't help but change, but the movements of his hands did not hesitate, and he immediately controlled a large amount of metal around him to form a wall in an attempt to stop the wild dogs' attack.
"The power of the Lantern Ring isn't as simple as you think, Eric."
Looking at Eric's coping methods, Jack Simon, who was in the car, lit a cigarette again and swallowed the clouds.
As a [Yellow Lantern Ring] that purely uses Giant Manifestation Energy as a means of attack, its upper and lower limits are extremely obvious.
Although, because it is not the relationship between the original universe of [Yellow Lantern Ring], the ability of the Lantern Ring is not as powerful as the original. However, perhaps because of the symbiotic relationship of the 'Parallax Demon', the power of this [Yellow Lantern Ring] in Jack Simon's hand has increased a little more than the power Li Ran had obtained before.
Although there is still a gap between this enhancement and the power of the A-level card in Li Ran's hand, it can be regarded as a surprise.
Bang, bang!
The embodied wild dogs crashed against Eric's steel walls, which were much thicker and lackluster than the walls built on the border between the United States and Mexico by the new president's second executive order.
The wild dog opened its mouth and gnawed at the wall with its sharp teeth, but it was unable to cause any visible damage to the iron wall except for a few biting marks.
Seeing it, the steel wall forged by Eric seemed to have the effect of blocking the attack of the Lantern Ring.
However, in the next moment, the energy on the yellow [Yellow Light Ring] on Jack Simon's finger surged again.
On the other side of the iron wall, the pack of wild dogs that kept biting at the hard wall coalesced like a river.
Roar –
Together, the wild dogs took on the form of a giant wolf, roaring deafeningly at the steel walls.
Boom Boom –
In the next second, the giant raised his huge claws and crashed into the steel wall in front of him with a roar.
With the collapse of the iron wall, Eric behind him was immediately exposed to the eyes of the giant wolf.
A cruel look flashed in his yellow eyes, looking at Eric who had lost the barrier of the steel wall, the giant wolf did not hesitate or pause, and then opened his huge mouth and bit down viciously at Eric.
If, the giant wolf bites this time.
Even Eric, who is Magneto, is not immune, after all, although he has the ability to control magnetism, his physical fitness is only better than ordinary people, and he does not have Logan's powerful self-healing ability.
Boom –
Seeing this, Eric was about to die in the mouth of the giant wolf.
Suddenly, a huge dark green figure appeared in mid-air, and suddenly knocked the giant wolf in front of Eric out of the air.
The size and strength of the giant wolf embodied by the power of the Lantern Ring are extremely large, as can be seen in Eric's iron wall that was destroyed with a single blow.
However, it was such a huge energy creature, but at this moment, this figure that suddenly appeared on the battlefield was pressed and beaten.
Needless to say, this dark green figure is naturally the Hulk Hulk that Banner transformed.
Of course, although in terms of strength and defense, the giant wolf embodied by [Yellow Lantern Ring] is no match for the Hulk.
However, as an energy life, the giant wolf's fearlessness of life and death largely offset these weaknesses.
Looking at the giant wolf that was entangled with the Hulk and was inseparable for a while.
Jack Simon raised his eyebrows, and the next moment a giant wolf appeared from the lamp ring and pounced on Eric.
Boom!
However, this time, the attack of the giant wolf was still blocked.
"Captain America."
Looking at Steve, who appeared in front of Eric and held a vibranium shield, the expression on Jack Simon's face finally changed a little.
Holding the vibranium shield in his hand high to block the giant wolf's attack, behind Steve, the Winter Soldier immediately raised his mechanical arm and transformed into an energy cannon to fire a blue ray that blasted off the giant wolf's head.
Destroyed by a blaster cannon, the wolf's unrevealed body stopped moving, but in the next moment, the energy that had collapsed again formed a new head in the gap, and shook it a few times.
"What an unexpected reunion, Captain America."
With a cigarette in his mouth, Jack Simon got out of the car, looked at Steve and Bucky who were standing in front of the giant wolf, and said in a slightly exclamatory tone.
"Not so long ago, we were teammates who fought side by side, but now we are in such an awkward situation."
Clutching the shield in his hand, Steve looked at the roaring wolf in front of him with vigilant eyes, and heard Jack Simon's teasing, and then said silently.
"Jack Simon, are you representing the Chaos Insurgency' position, Registrant?"
"Although, I personally admire the spirit you used to fight, Captain, but unfortunately, the 'Chaos Insurgency' has always advocated cooperation, we are not the self-righteous guys of the SCP Foundation, and the federal government is also one of the objects that the 'Chaos Insurgency' hopes to cooperate with, so I'm sorry, Captain."
"I don't know, if you can let me deal with Magneto behind you."
In response to Steve's questioning, Jack Simon's attitude was extremely cooperative.
However, the answer in his mouth was not as friendly as it appeared.
The gaze behind the shield met Jack Simon's smiling eyes, and Steve stood in front of Eric without backing down.
He gave the answer with his own practical actions.
"You're like this, but I'm a little embarrassed, Captain."
Faced with Steve's unflinching attitude, Jack Simon's face showed a look of distress.
"In that case, then I can only offend the captain, after all, I have already promised Tony that I will help him solve the problem."
As Jack Simon's words fell, the giant wolf in front of Steve and the others began to change, from a vicious wolf on all fours to a huge werewolf with a hideous appearance.
Raising his head and letting out a silent roar, the werewolf swept over Steve and the others in front of him with a fierce gaze, and the next moment he suddenly pounced on them.
At the same time, the giant wolf that was fighting with the Hulk not far away also transformed into a huge octopus waving its tentacles and tightly wrapping around the Hulk, blocking it from coming in the direction of Captain America and the others.
"You think these things alone can beat me!"
From just now, whether it was the attack of the embodied creature or the appearance of Hulk and Captain America and others, everyone subconsciously ignored Eric, one of the protagonists of the whole incident.
Look at Captain America who is in front of him and fights with the embodied werewolf.
A glint flashed in Eric's eyes, and he couldn't tolerate the feeling of being ignored.
Stepping back, he raised his hands and closed his eyes to recall the power he had exerted with Charles's help in the base.
A large amount of magnetic force began to surge from his body, and these forces no longer attached to the surrounding metal, but penetrated deeper into the huge high-speed bridge above his head.
Boom Boom –
With the influence of Eric's power, the steel and iron frames connected to the bridge began to twist, and cracks appeared on the bridge.
"Quick, get out of here......"
On the bridge, the grotesque people who had been watching the battle below shouted.
They looked at the broken bridge and began to run away with panicked expressions.
Standing under the high-speed bridge, two bright red nosebleeds flowed from Eric's nose, and he himself continued to manipulate the metal in the high-speed bridge as if unconscious, floating the entire section of the broken bridge.
On the crumbling bridge, large chunks of rubble fell.
Eric gritted his teeth, constantly overdrawing the power in his body to control this section of the bridge and slowly fall in the direction of the werewolf.
A section of the high-speed bridge that breaks and moves, the scene presented is undoubtedly very shocking.
Looking up at the floating broken bridge, Jack Simon couldn't help but raise some of his eyebrows, and without hesitation, he controlled the [Yellow Light Ring] in his hand to form a translucent protective shield to protect himself.
Thundered!
And the next second the shield was formed, the power in Eric's hand was also loosened.
The broken bridge that was controlled and floated in the air made a huge rumbling sound, and it smashed down, directly smashing the embodied werewolf into dispersal.
At the same time, the flying debris damaged the entire road, as if it had been baptized by a missile.
"Ahem......"
At the same time, the destruction and rumbling caused by the impact of the broken bridge also drowned out the figures of Steve and the others at the same time.
Tens of seconds later, in a battlefield of ruins.
The [Yellow Light Ring] in Jack Simon's hand flickered, and a dust mask appeared on his face, and a large amount of rubble was scattered all around him.
Putting away the energy shield wrapped around his body, Jack Simon looked at the scene in front of him.
Except for the rubble and ruins all over the ground, neither Captain America nor Magneto is gone.
……
“…… The destruction of the high-speed bridge, causing more than 100 injuries throughout New York City, for this attack, the president issued a stern rebuke, believing that everything is the responsibility of those superheroes and grotesques who do not want to register, and the public's dissatisfaction with the superheroes who oppose the registration faction has reached its peak, according to the latest polls, the polls supporting the anti-registration faction are less than three percent, but at the same time, the polls supporting the superheroes dominated by Tony Stark have reached a record high of 90 percent, so to speak, The incident of the high-speed bridge caused the entire American people to support the implementation of the Superhero Registration Act......"
On the news program, Magneto's actions pushed the position of the entire Superhero Registration Act opposition to a more passive situation.
The populace recognized the danger of the grotesque and feared their power.
This fear has outweighed the values of freedom and democracy that they have professed in the past.
"I promise you, Mr. President, that I will take care of everything."
Inside the Avengers Tower, Tony assures the new president on the phone.
"It doesn't matter if it's a grotesque or Captain America."
The call with the new president was over.
Tony turned his head and glanced at Natasha on the side, shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression.
"It seems that our president has become a little impatient, and the actions of the anti-registration faction all the time have obviously caused a huge irritation to him."
"The incident of the high-speed bridge knocked his polls down by five percentage points, and the stock market also caused a heavy blow."
To this, Natasha calmly gave an answer.
"Is there a trace of Captain America?"
Hearing Natasha's answer, Tony raised some eyebrows, and then turned to ask.
"Nope."
Shaking her head slightly, Natasha replied.
"Keep searching, since he appeared once, then there is a second and a third ......"
Faced with Tony's order, Natasha nodded and turned to leave the room he was in.
“……”
Looking at Natasha's departing back, Tony's eyes flickered.
"Mr. Stark, the Sentinel is complete."
And at this moment, in the room, Ultron's voice sounded to report to him.
