If it was before she followed Black King, Angel Salvadore would have gladly accepted Samuel's offer.
With a strong person like Samuel as a backer, having no worries about food and clothing and being safe, what's wrong with doing her old job?
It's reasonable!
But now, she felt that she was different; she was no longer the dancer who used to make a living by using her skills to please others.
Following Black King, she was a high and mighty Mutant, the Queen among Mutants!
But following Samuel, she would become the dancer who pleased others again.
Why?!
The higher You stand, the harder it is to accept a low point.
Once You possess something, it's hard to accept losing it!
"The one who wins in the end will definitely still be us!"
Angel Salvadore snorted fiercely, flapping her wings, preparing to switch opponents.
Although she was angry, she didn't lose her head and foolishly attack Samuel.
Turning around and flapping her wings, Angel Salvadore was about to fly away when she felt a terrifying gravitational force sweep over, instantly causing her to fall with a thud, pressed firmly to the ground.
Samuel casually waved his hand, and several steel plates from the distant submarine were instantly detached and flew towards Angel Salvadore.
On the way, the steel plates continuously changed shape, directly turning into hand and foot shackles that cuffed Angel Salvadore.
At the same time, a curved steel plate sealed her mouth!
"Stay put.
If You dare to run, I'll sink You in the sea!"
Samuel said lightly, no longer paying attention to Angel Salvadore, whose eyes were filled with terror and grief.
His battle ended before it even began, but the battles of the others were just entering a heated phase.
Beast and Impact teamed up against Red Devil.
Although it was two against one, they didn't gain an overwhelming advantage; on the contrary, Red Devil's Teleportation made them look a bit flustered.
On the other side, Banshee, who came up from the sea, faced Riptide, who had broken free from the steel plates.
One used sound waves, the other used a hurricane, and they were roughly evenly matched.
Incidentally, Samuel had already acquired the abilities of everyone here before, and Red Devil's Teleportation ability had just dropped when he attacked Beast and Impact.
Inside the submarine, Erik Lehnsherr was confronting Black King.
Uh, to be precise, he was being unilaterally crushed by Black King.
To be fair, setting aside Samuel, there really weren't many Mutants left who could defeat Black King.
Wearing a helmet that blocked Mind Manipulation Ability, in this room that could isolate Mind Manipulation Ability, unless he could bypass Black King's ability to absorb energy, Erik Lehnsherr had no chance of winning at all.
Any damage caused by an attack and the kinetic energy produced would be absorbed, which was practically unsolvable!
In the movie, he took off Black King's helmet, letting Charles freeze him, preventing him from controlling his abilities, and only then killed him.
Now...
It was the same!
As the special material in the room that could isolate Mind Manipulation Ability was broken, Charles Xavier's Mind Power connected with Erik Lehnsherr through the cracks.
Bang bang bang bang!
Erik Lehnsherr controlled the metal in the wall to attack Black King.
The result was naturally in vain; not only did he fail to harm the darkness, but he was also pinned against the wall and 'wall-kissed' by Black King.
Black King looked at Erik Lehnsherr, who was turning his face away and not making eye contact, and softly tempted him.
"I don't want to hurt You, Eric.
I never intended to hurt You."
"I want to help You!"
"This is our era, our time, we are the future of humanity, You and I, child, this World will be ours!"
The silent Erik Lehnsherr slowly spoke.
"Everything You did made me stronger, made me the strongest weapon."
"This is right, I've always known!"
Erik Lehnsherr looked at the smiling Black King above and said through gritted teeth, "You are my creator!"
Black King was even happier when he heard this.
Then, joy turned to sorrow!
Erik Lehnsherr controlled the damaged cables, quietly removing Black King's helmet from behind.
Everything about being a creator, about You being right, was just Erik Lehnsherr saying that to paralyze Black King and attract his attention.
How could Erik Lehnsherr possibly let go of the hatred for killing his mother?
"Charles!"
Erik Lehnsherr roared, turning to retrieve his helmet, but the Black King was instantly frozen.
Erik Lehnsherr controlled the helmet into his hand, looking at the frozen Black King, his tone somewhat apologetic.
"I'm sorry, Charles."
While freezing the Black King, Charles Xavier was also connecting to Erik's mind, knowing exactly what Erik was thinking.
Kill the Black King, avenge his mother!
Charles Xavier is a more typical saint, or rather, a non-killer. He believes the Black King should be punished and pay the price.
But not by killing him directly!
"Erik, no! You can be a better person, Erik, if you do this, you can't go back!"
Amidst Charles Xavier's persuasion, Erik Lehnsherr slowly put on his helmet.
The psychic link was broken, and Charles Xavier pounded the wall of the plane in frustration.
Honestly, Charles Xavier was somewhat speaking from a position of privilege. His childhood experience was completely different from Erik's.
Erik was captured in a concentration camp from a young age, and his mother was shot in front of him. Who could let go of such hatred?
A life for a life, it's only right!
Furthermore, if Erik couldn't get revenge, his knot of hatred would never be untied, and his spirit would never be free.
Charles Xavier actually knew this, which is why he only tried to persuade Erik not to kill, but didn't truly stop him.
If he really wanted to stop him, he wouldn't have continued to hold the Black King frozen.
How to put it, although the views of these two good buddies were not consistent, their feelings for each other were genuinely there.
So although Charles Xavier wanted to persuade him, he didn't truly stop him.
Then...
The Black King, whom he had frozen, was cleanly penetrated through the head by Erik Lehnsherr using a coin.
In the movie, Erik Lehnsherr even gave Charles a chance to stop him, releasing the coin, moving slowly, and counting down a few seconds.
But now, Erik Lehnsherr said not a single word. He put on his helmet and directly pierced the Black King's head with a coin.
As for why this happened?
It was somewhat related to Samuel!
Although Samuel had always been outside the team, his strength was beyond doubt, and his relationship with Moira MacTaggert could also be guessed to some extent.
What if Moira MacTaggert, or the official behind her, wanted the Black King alive?
He wasn't worried about Charles, but he was worried that Samuel would take action. So, as soon as he had the chance, he struck ruthlessly to avoid complications and unforeseen events.
