Samuel, with the purpose of appreciation and criticism, had the Black Queen provide a place where no one would disturb them. As a result, Viper used the method of 'heavy sword without edge, great skill without art', which, although clumsy and unsharpened, had great lethality and almost allowed her to achieve victory.
One can only say, this is a Master!
Clearly a newcomer, yet like Water, humble and open-minded!
Extremely valuable.
The next day, in the evening.
The Sun set, the crescent Moon and the stars shone upon each other, their light scattering on the Hudson River. A gentle evening breeze blew, and the river surface rippled like dominoes, layer upon layer.
On Liberty Island, the Statue of Liberty stood tall. The building across the river was the venue for the summit, where the heads of state from various countries had already gathered.
On the Statue of Liberty, Magneto stared gloomily at the building in the distance, preparing to activate the machine when the summit began to transform all the heads of state into Mutants.
"Whoosh—"
A sound of air breaking was heard. Below the Statue of Liberty, several figures wearing black tight leather clothes suddenly appeared without warning.
These figures were Storm, Jean Grey, Colossus, Iceman, Pyro, Shadowcat, and Petra.
Having just joined, they had to face Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants to save humanity. Iceman, Shadowcat, Colossus, and Petra were all more or less nervous. Only Pyro was eager to try, fiddling with his lighter, wishing he could immediately tell the whole World that he, Pyro, had made his debut.
Storm led the group to the entrance of the building at the base of the Statue of Liberty. Several bodies of guards lay scattered on the ground. Everyone's expressions were solemn, and they exchanged glances before cautiously walking in.
As soon as they entered, several Mutants who were lying in wait showed expectant expressions.
People from the Brotherhood of Mutants!
The X-Men had gained new members, and the Brotherhood of Mutants had also replenished their ranks with fresh blood, and their strength was—only higher, not lower!
The first thing that caught their eye was a large man whose muscles seemed capable of crushing a person to death. The steel helmet he wore on his head added to his fierce aura, making it clear at a glance that he was not to be trifled with!
His name is Cain Marko, codenamed Red Tank!
Uh, although there wasn't a single bit of 'Red' on him.
Standing to the left of the Red Tank was an old member, Toad, and to his right was a female Mutant Arc Light, whose gender was hard to distinguish at first glance, and who was incredibly ugly upon closer inspection. Beside Arc Light was a middle-aged man named Multiple Man.
Red Tank, Arc Light, and Multiple Man are Mutants who appeared in X-Men 3, and have now been recruited by Magneto in advance to join the Brotherhood of Mutants.
Are the people from the Brotherhood of Mutants all introduced?
No, no, no, there are more—
Above their heads was a man with spread white wings. His name is Warren Kenneth Worthington III, codenamed Angel.
In another timeline, he, Storm, Magneto, and Psylocke were all Horsemen of Apocalypse.
Finished?
Not yet!
In the corners on the left and right stood a man and a woman respectively. The man was a bit unfamiliar, and his clothing was somewhat disheveled, making it impossible to discern his identity or abilities.
The woman was dressed somewhat revealingly, and her exposed skin resembled snakeskin, giving off a distinctly evil aura at first glance.
The two sides faced off and, with a tacit understanding, launched their attacks simultaneously.
Storm's lightning directly blasted Red Tank away, while Arc Light clapped her hands together forcefully, unleashing a rumbling Shockwave.
A deafening sound erupted as the ground, controlled by Petra, rose up and was then shattered by the Impact.
Iceman and Pyro went up against Multiple Man and the slovenly man respectively. One controlled ice, the other controlled fire, and they initially held the advantage upon engagement. However, Multiple Man quickly created several identical duplicates, and the slovenly man leaped onto the wall, moving rapidly while clinging to it like a gecko.
"Bang!"
Jean Grey waved her hand, using her Mind Manipulation Ability to control Toad, and forcefully flung him against the wall.
Angel flapped his wings and rushed towards Jean Grey, but was sent flying by a punch from Colossus, who charged out from the side.
The snakeskin woman in the corner smirked, just about to release her ability to control hormones, when her fate was suddenly seized by a hand reaching out from the wall, grabbing her by the throat. She then mysteriously sank into the ground, passed through the wall, was directly taken out of the Statue of Liberty by Shadowcat, and dragged into the Hudson River.
"Gurgle…" The snakeskin woman struggled weakly a few times, rolled her eyes, and became the first character to go offline and receive their bento box.
Inside the Statue of Liberty, various super abilities flew everywhere, and the two sides were mixed in a chaotic brawl, hitting each other in a complete mess.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Super Defense (Red Tank)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Shockwave (Arc Light)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Multiple Man (Multiple Man)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Wings (Angel)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Steel-structured body tissue (Colossus)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Manipulation of earth and stone (Petra)"
The sounds of dropped rewards from the onlookers' combat rang out one after another. Samuel glanced at them. The most useless ability among them was probably the slovenly man's stickiness; the only purpose of this ability was to stick to walls and crawl.
Those who know how to swim are the ones who drown. In the movie, the slovenly man climbed to a high place but was hit by the antidote, lost his ability, and fell from a height, dying from the fall.
Besides these abilities, there was also the control of hormones, which came from the snakeskin woman Miranda Rivalde, whose codename was Stacy X. I don't know what special meaning it has, but in the comics, she belonged to an organization called X-Men Brothel.
Samuel had a tiny bit of interest in her, mainly because her snakeskin was a good match for Viper. Later, he could have them form a CP and create a Viper Gang to play with.
"Puff—" On the surface of the Hudson River, a head popped out, gasping for fresh air in the night.
"Damn bastard, you almost drowned me! You wait, I will definitely not let you off!"
Stacy X cursed and muttered, wanting to swim back to shore to rejoin the fight, but suddenly heard a voice behind her, which instantly made her freeze.
"Isn't it better to be alive?"
"Who!"
Stacy X turned her head sharply and saw a sofa eerily floating on the river surface. On the sofa sat a man with his legs crossed, leisurely swirling a glass of red wine in his hand.
Activating her ability, she intended to control the other party's hormones, but to her disbelief, even though the person was right in front of her, her perception was empty, as if he wasn't there at all.
"Who are you?" Stacy X asked cautiously.
Samuel glanced down at her from above, and with a slight flick of his finger, she instantly felt the World spin and fell to her knees with a splash.
Wait, on the ground?
