Erik Lehnsherr looked at the dense missiles and suddenly raised his hand.
In an instant, the missiles froze in mid-air.
Immediately after, the missiles slowly turned around, aiming at the warships that launched them.
"Erik, you said it yourself, we are the better people, this is the time to prove it."
Charles Xavier, seeing his intention, tried to dissuade him, but Erik Lehnsherr was completely unmoved.
Charles Xavier was a little anxious.
"There are thousands of people on those ships, good people, honest, innocent people, they are just following orders."
Erik Lehnsherr's eyes changed, and he said coldly, "I was abused by people who were just following orders, and from now on... never again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fiercely waved his hand.
Missiles flew quickly towards the warships one by one.
"Erik, let them go."
"No!"
Seeing the missiles getting closer and closer to the warships, Charles Xavier, whose persuasion was ineffective, rushed over and tackled Erik Lehnsherr to the ground.
The two wrestled on the beach, and the missiles in the air, having lost control, exploded one after another as they collided.
For a time, the sky was like fireworks blooming.
"I don't want to hurt you, don't force me!"
Erik Lehnsherr elbowed Charles Xavier to the ground, rolled on top, and waved away the X-Men who were preparing to help.
Then, holding him down with one hand, he continued to control the missiles with the other.
"Erik, stop!"
"Bang!"
Erik Lehnsherr punched his good friend hard in the face, got up angrily, and continued to control the remaining missiles.
Today, not even the King of Heaven can stop me!
"Bang!"
The slap in the face came too quickly; a bullet hit Erik Lehnsherr's helmet and bounced off.
Immediately after, several more bullets came flying.
Erik Lehnsherr's hands flew left and right, deflecting the bullets, and one bullet hit Charles Xavier's waist, who had just gotten up, squarely.
His kidney was ruined!
Erik Lehnsherr and Moira MacTaggert, who fired the shot, both stopped when they heard his scream.
Moira MacTaggert ran over immediately and helped him up, completely ignoring the missiles or anything else.
The King of Heaven couldn't stop him, but his injured good friend could!
Taking the bullet out of his waist, Erik Lehnsherr knelt on the ground looking at him, his face full of worry and annoyance.
"You, you did this!" Erik Lehnsherr glared fiercely at Moira MacTaggert.
"Don't go too far!"
Samuel walked over leisurely, put his arm around Moira MacTaggert, and said lightly, "This is his destiny!"
Honestly, he thought Charles Xavier was somewhat bringing it upon himself, after all, wanting to be a saint comes at a price.
Charles Xavier protected the weak without much regard for cause and effect, and was somewhat double-standard.
When Erik Lehnsherr wanted to kill Black King, he only advised, didn't stop him, and could even be considered an accomplice.
But when it came to bombing those warships, he jumped out to stop him.
You were stabbed in the back, people want to wipe you all out, and you actually stopped Erik Lehnsherr from fighting back?
Is this sick?
Feelings? Cause and effect? Emotions? He doesn't care about any of these; he watches from above like God, and whoever is weak, he helps.
Black King was stronger than Erik Lehnsherr, so he helped Erik Lehnsherr.
Erik Lehnsherr was stronger than those humans, so he helped humans!
Samuel never disliked or resisted kindness and justice.
Yes, he was selfish, and he wasn't a good person, but he also had kindness and justice, it just appeared when he was in a good mood.
But he really couldn't stand Charles Xavier's self-proclaimed savior-like kindness and justice.
"Cough... You, you're right, I might really only be able to walk with a wheelchair from now on, my legs, my legs have no feeling."
Charles Xavier gasped, glanced at Samuel, and then looked at Erik Lehnsherr: "It wasn't her, it was you, you did this!"
Erik Lehnsherr looked at him and said in a deep voice, "We turned on each other, that's what they wanted! Charles, I want you to stand with me, we are brothers, you and I... all of us together, protecting each other."
Charles Xavier also looked at him and said with a laugh, "My friend, I'm sorry, we can't."
Their eyes met, and they were silent.
Erik Lehnsherr felt that everyone was a Mutant and should stand together to help each other.
Charles Xavier, however, could not agree with his attitude and philosophy towards humans.
Different paths, incompatible goals.
Erik Lehnsherr beckoned to the X-Men, leaving Charles Xavier for them to attend to.
Getting up, he looked around at everyone.
He couldn't recruit the few people from the Hellfire Club, and the X-Men... due to ideological issues, probably no one would follow him...
Finally, he set his sights on Mystique Raven.
"Society doesn't accept us, we should unite ourselves, humans attacked Mutants, now we will fight back."
"Who's coming with me?"
He asked everyone, but he was only looking at Raven.
Erik Lehnsherr extended his hand to Raven and deliberately said, "No need to hide anymore."
Mystique looked at him and slowly walked towards Charles Xavier by his side.
Erik Lehnsherr dropped his hand in disappointment, glanced at the silent crowd, turned around, floated up, and flew quickly towards the vast, boundless sea.
"Remember to come find me later."
Samuel smiled at Moira MacTaggert, took a few steps back, and disappeared with the few people from the Hellfire Club without any warning.
Void Island.
The few people from the Hellfire Club looked at the mysterious palace on this uninhabited island, their hearts filled with surprise.
"This is the temporary base camp, and the Mutants recruited in the future will all live here."
"White Queen is recruiting Mutants in other places and won't be back for a while. Red Devil, Riptide, I'll leave the management here to you for now, prepare whatever you need yourselves."
Red Devil and Riptide nodded silently.
Samuel chuckled lightly and continued, "I'm a very easy person to get along with, and my requirements for you are very simple."
"Obey! Obey! And obey!"
"I don't need you to be very strong, because no matter how strong you are, you are not as strong as me! But, I can make you stronger!"
Samuel looked at Angel Salvadore and said lightly, "Kneel."
Angel Salvadore's face instantly turned ugly, but when under someone else's roof, one has to bow their head, and in the end, she slowly knelt on one knee in front of Samuel.
Samuel ignored her emotions; she was just a tool to display his means.
He placed his hand on Angel Salvadore's head, and a ball of light enveloped her body through his palm
He added some special effects to the abilities enhanced by Apocalypse!
In an instant, Angel Salvadore's expression changed. She subconsciously looked up, staring at Samuel in disbelief.
Samuel withdrew his hand and said indifferently, "Come, show it off."
Angel Salvadore stood up and slowly raised her hands under the puzzled and curious gazes of Red Devil and Riptide.
In a flash, two energies, one ice and one fire, burst forth from her hands!
