9. Stand by and watch
"Alas"
In the Gotham night, Eric let out a soft sigh, he was only standing on the roof of the building, but as if he was talking to another person,
"Hank died, the beast with a developed brain and limbs died, like a weak ordinary person, who was directly smashed into the skull, and I can still remember how he and Charles helped me practice my abilities back then. β
At this moment, Magneto was more like an ordinary old man reminiscing about the past, standing on the roof of an empty building with his cane, looking at the battlefield in the distance, where Cyber and his subordinates were slaughtering, and when he saw the black arc light light up, tearing apart Auroro's storm shield like chopping melons and vegetables, Eric's eyes also lit up.
"Look at them, it's like a bunch of free-range wolf cubs, Cyber is the real guide, he manages this group of children very well, excavates their talents, and puts a more powerful coat on them, the power of demons is surging in their bodies, this external power will make them tend to be irritable, but they are warriors, they don't need careful thinking... This is something we can learn from. β
"But I remember you also said that the power of mutants is the most powerful power in the world, and we don't need to use other forces to fight, that is a blasphemy against our bloodline. β
A nice voice appeared beside Eric, a young girl in a long red dress parting from the darkness and stepping out of the air, she had long hair like flames, a delicate face, a long red cloak, a perfect and beautiful figure, but she looked very young, probably not yet an adult.
She stood next to Magneto, and in a very surpassing way within the Brotherhood, she helped Eric remove the helmet and help him straighten up his gray hair, she looked at Magneto's hair, and after finding that there was no problem, she nodded in a childish way with satisfaction, held the dark red helmet in her arms, and stood beside Eric.
"Dad, who is that?"
Her gaze transcended the confines of the darkness and caught very easily the Cyber and his men who were slaughtering Xavier's mutants, and the demonic signs made the girl very curious, and she turned her head to look at Eric Lansel, her father.
The latter, in a voice mixed with love and appreciation, said,
"My daughter, that's a dangerous beast, that's Cyber Hawke, the most terrible uncertainty in the mutant world, even me and Charles, can't control it, you see, Charles's carefully prepared X-Men are crumbling in front of him, they can't even stop him, and more importantly, he has unlimited potential! He has a talent that makes me jealous. β
A hint of complexity flashed in Eric's gaze, and he shook his head:
"If I had seen his potential earlier, he would have undoubtedly become a "god" of mutants under my training! β
"Cyber Hawk?"
Holding Eric's helmet, the girl said thoughtfully, "I heard of Pietro's name when I lived in Sokovia, and I remember that the exorcists who fled from the United States to Eastern Europe were terrified when they mentioned it, they called him "Demon", and it was said that he slaughtered more than 1 half-breed in New York, did he fight against you? β
"Of course, kid, and if I lose, I lose on this uncertaintie. β
Magneto nodded, reached out and patted his daughter on the 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 find yourself knowing, he is dangerous, for you and Pietro, I don't want you to get involved in anything related to him until your abilities are really mastered." β
At this time, Magneto was more like a worried father of his children, he reached out and patted Wanda's shoulder,
"After tonight, we will go back to Sokovia with Pietro, and if nothing else, the next time you come back to this country, we will have a home that is truly our own. β
"Huh"
A silver light flashed in the darkness, and Magneto's eyes flashed, and a big boy with silver hair appeared on the stone beside him, piercing his ears like a thug, and playing with a lighter in his hand, the lighter was beating so fast at the tips of his fingers that it was almost like five lighters were beating at the same time.
He saw Magneto's eyes, and he waved his hand nonchalantly:
"Got it, Dad, I'll go back with my sister, this country is boring, there are wars everywhere, it's far less cute than Sokovia. β
But Magneto didn't speak, the old man's eyes were firmly fixed on the two guys at the big boy's feet, his expression became ugly, and the cane in his hand tapped the ground:
"Petero, did I tell you to get them back?"
The older boy looked up at his father in a bit of ignorance, he scratched his head, and argued:
"But aren't they our allies? I saw that they were about to be killed by that fierce man, so I saved them, and by the way, who the hell is that fierce guy?
"Reckless!"
Magneto rubbed his forehead with a headache, and his voice became serious: "Pietro, you are so reckless! Why can't you learn from your sister and think about it for a few more minutes when you do things, they are allies, yes, but they are not credible! I want to see them fight to the death with Cyber Hawke, and it is better to lose both, than to involve the entire Brotherhood because of your unintentional actions!"
"Send them back!"
Eric said indifferently, "Throw them into the battlefield! We won't interfere in their fight with Cyber Hawke! Let them fight to the death before anything else!"
Petro shrugged his shoulders and lifted the two guys to leave, but was stopped by Magneto,
"No! wait!"
The big boy turned his head and looked at his father with a puzzled expression, Magneto walked over, waved his left hand, and the condensed magnetic force converged into a dark claw on his hand, and then stabbed into the abdomen of the comatose and seriously injured purple man, and the magnetic splash made the wound into a terrible tear, cutting off all the vitality of this unlucky ghost, and after doing all this, Magneto nodded with satisfaction.
"Go ahead and throw these two bodies in the rubble. β
Pietro watched Magneto's actions with a bewildered expression, which killed a person in an understatement, and really gave the older boy a deeper understanding of his father, whom 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 a look of hatred for iron and steel:
"I've just added another fire to the two beasts that don't die... Make them even more crazy, if you have to have an excuse that can make you feel at ease, this self-proclaimed "Purple Man" nymphomaniac and violent maniac, the guy who should go to hell, has manipulated and brutally killed at least 7 of our compatriots in the past 3 years, this is also the revenge of the Brotherhood, even if Cyber doesn't kill him, after all this is over, I will send someone to clean him up!"
"As for the allies... Pietro, you are so naΓ―ve!"
Eric Lansall turned his head to look at the battlefield that was almost over, and his tone was a little gloomy:
"There is an alliance between heroes, and villains only take what they need, and after the common opponent disappears, they will immediately stab their fangs at us who are still fighting side by side, of course, we will do the same thing, this is the bad situation we are facing, I really wish I had an ally like Cyber Hawk who can be reassured, but unfortunately, mutants have no real allies in this world, we can only rely on ourselves. β
Magneto's voice was low, he turned his back to his son, and waved:
"It's a shame that we're alone in this world. Go, Pietro, after doing these things, you and Wanda will leave the United States, it will be very dangerous here lately, 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 yourself later. β
This sentence is very unlucky, but judging from the situation that Magneto is facing now, it is really not impossible, his allies are ambitious, but the Brotherhood is supported by him alone, and the most important thing is that with the expansion of Cyber's power, there are more and more unstable factors in mutant society, and new trends of thought are affecting more and more young people, and the contradictions between mutants and ordinary people seem to be eased, but this is something that must be vigilant.
Judging from the number of both sides, once the human society implements the strategy of gentle annexation, the mutants are powerless at all, so the guys hiding in the dark launched this assassination against the president, which gives Eric hope.
If we don't take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely oppose mutants and humans, I am afraid that it will only take a generation for the term mutant to disappear into history and be replaced by "superheroes" or "supervillains".
A name is not a big deal, but for a race that has lost its name, it means a moment of extinction for the race, and Eric cannot tolerate such a situation, he cannot accept that his compatriots who have fought all his life live as their enemies.
This is simply a disgrace, a regression of civilization!
"I can't allow this to happen!"
Eric 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 those with clear eyes like them could see the hidden dangers, Charles, who grew up in a peaceful environment in 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.
Yes, Cyber Hawke, maybe he didn't realize it himself, his Devil Gang has absorbed more and more mutant young people in recent years, and has become a force to be reckoned with in the mutant world, and his own strength is now considered a number of figures in the mutant society, but unfortunately Cyber Hawk is a kind of dull to this kind of prestige.
Or rather, he didn't take mutant society into account at all, and all the prestige and prestige here meant nothing to him.
"Such arrogance, such recklessness... You have no regard for the lives and deaths of your own people, you could have led more people forward, but you chose to watch from the sidelines... No, no! Seber Hawke, you don't have the right to sit idly by!"
Magneto clenched the cane in his hand, and in the empty night, he looked at Cyber who wantonly slaughtered Xavier's mutants in the distance, and his eyes showed an indescribable paranoia,
"Competence and responsibility... You've got the power, but you've not been able to fulfill the responsibility, you're going to join the game, you're going to join it!
"Don't let me down!"
On the other hand, Cyber didn't know how many people were watching this battle, and he didn't care, he was immersed in the frenzy of the battle, Hank was only the first to die, but definitely not the only one, Dorothy's death completely ignited the anger in his heart, and the Xavier mutants who had been missing for a long time appeared as enemies at the most critical moment, and most importantly, they snatched the prey he had.
The culprit who directly caused Dorothy's death is missing! Just before these bastards appeared, it was hard not to connect them, although they were not related to each other, but Cyber was not God's perspective, he did not know all this, and under the pressure of the anger of the renunciation, the string called reason "slammed" off.
The result is the current scenario.
"Bang Bang"
The claws wrapped in black flames frantically attacked the storm shield that Auroro desperately raised, and every claw blow of Cyber would make Auroro's face turn pale, Gray Jean and Auroro stood aside, she completely exuded her spiritual power, helping Auroro stabilize the heavy wall of wind in front of him, but it was very difficult, if Cyber could be blocked by the two of them so easily, he would not deserve to be a big trouble for so many forces.
At Cyber's feet, John the Burning Man was wailing with his wounds, he made two mistakes, the first was not to stand in front of Cyber who was advancing at full speed, and the second was not to play with fire in front of Cyber, and a claw that he swung out of his hand directly smashed his shoulder, and the young man who was still very young was crushed by pain in an instant.
"Is that all you have to do?"
Cyber shattered the storm shield in front of him with a claw, and he took a step forward and roared loudly, "That's all you can do?"
"So what is it that gives you the courage to stand in front of us?"
He lifted his foot and slashed his foot on the head of John, the burning man, who was still trying to fight back, and his brain burst in an instant.
Glancing at the twitching corpse at his feet, Cyber raised his paw and looked at the two chicks in front of him, but when he swept their yellow pupils, he suddenly felt a little distracted, because there was no point in getting angry with a group of golems.
"Forget it, since the killings are all killed, then let's just change to a more direct way to communicate. β
