Chapter 1073 The Cuban Crisis

"Eric, stop! These soldiers are innocent, they are just following orders!" Even at this time, Charles still disagreed with killing the soldiers. After all, the duty of a soldier is to obey orders. All of this is obviously an order from the upper level, but so what?

In the end, Eric predicted the worst outcome - humans began to fear mutants, and so they simply wiped them out all at once. This was the common decision of the Soviet Union and the United States.

"We are innocent too. They didn't seem to take this into consideration when they took action." Eric was too lazy to pay attention to Charles this time and was ready to return all the gifts to humans.

Maura reacted much faster than Charles. She took out her pistol and shot at Eric, but Eric simply controlled the bullet easily and continued to "give gifts" anyway.

No matter how accurate Mora's gun was, it was meaningless to Eric. Eric could easily block all the bullets with just a wave of his hand.

"Charles, do you want to watch Eric kill all the soldiers? If the American and Soviet soldiers all die here, do you know what will happen in the future?" Seeing that his firing was ineffective, Mora immediately instigated Charles, because Charles was the person here who could most easily pay Eric.

Of course, Su Xiu Yu might also be a suitable person, but Mora noticed that Su Xiu Yu watched the whole battle and seemed to have no intention of intervening. Of course, in such a critical moment, you can't rely on an unfamiliar person.

"Eric, stop it, don't force me!" Charles can control Eric with just a thought, but the two of them had an agreement -

"Charles, you promised never to enter my mind. You can break your promise, but if you break your promise, the relationship between us will be completely severed!"

Eric knew that Charles had the ability to subdue him, but the agreement between the two restricted Charles.

"Stop it. I promise I won't invade your brain. You should have controlled all the missiles now. These people are just the lowest-level soldiers. They can only obey orders from others. Killing them will not help our current situation. It will even make humans more afraid of mutants!"

Charles's considerations do make sense, but in Eric's eyes, not fighting back when being beaten means being bullied all the time. This is Eric's decades of life experience.

"Even if I don't do it, mutants will become a threat to humans. They are planning to kill us all, and you are still speaking for them? Doesn't the fact that these people are so treacherous prove something? Charles, you are so naive, so naive that you use everyone's lives to achieve your kindness!"

After Eric finished speaking, he controlled the dense missiles in the air and began to launch them towards the United States and the Soviet Union. As long as no one intervened, the fleets of these two countries would instantly become burning torches.

"You forced me to do this!" Charles used his psychic power to control Eric, and then released the control of all the missiles. Then the missiles in the air fell into the sea, and some exploded directly below the sea surface.

Because both the United States and the Soviet Union have launched almost all their missiles and weapons, there is no threat now after the launch, and they can only observe the movements of the mutants with binoculars and the naked eye.

Only then did Charles release his control over Eric, allowing Eric to regain control of his own body.

"Charles, you said you wouldn't invade my brain again, but you broke your promise in just one week!"

"I'm sorry, Eric, I can't watch you kill so many innocent people..." Although Charles felt very sorry for invading Eric's brain again, it was obvious that Charles still felt that there was nothing wrong with his actions. At least Charles only wanted to maintain peace between humans and mutants.

"What a ridiculous apology." In fact, Eric had anticipated this moment when he made his move. Eric knew what kind of person Charles was better than anyone else. He said he respected him, but he was never vague about using his abilities at critical moments.

"Everything is over. The crisis has been resolved. Do you still plan to follow Charles? Or choose a new leader? Sebastian is dead."

It is obvious that the mutants present now are divided into two factions, one is Hellfire's people, and the other is Charles' people. There is a big gap in the concepts of the two sides. In addition, after being hit in the face by missiles from the United States and the Soviet Union, some people have other ideas.

As expected, when he spoke at this time, everyone had different expressions and began to consider their future retreat plans.

"Eric, what do you mean? Aren't we in the same group?" Charles considered Eric his friend, but friends were dividing the small group.

"When you broke your promise to defend this woman and humanity, have you ever considered that we are in the same group?" Eric pointed at Mora. Mora showed no mercy when she attacked just now, and every shot was aimed at Eric's vital points.

In Eric's heart, Maura was doomed to die, but Eric knew very well that as long as he planned to kill Maura, Charles would use his psychic powers to control him again, so this time Eric "generously" let Maura go.

"If you didn't intend to kill all humans..."

"Come on, Charles, stop talking about my responsibility for everything. We have different ideas, and there are many people here who don't agree with you, so let them make their own choices."

Eric knew that he would need a team in the future, and the current Torrent, Red Devil, Angel, and White Queen were all excellent assistants.

These are the precious legacies left by Sebastian. Eric would be a fool if he didn't know how to win over these people at this time.

Originally, the spectacular scene of Eric controlling all the missiles did move these people, but unfortunately there was still a bystander at the scene, especially the Red Devil who stood directly next to Su Xiu Yu, as if testing Su Xiu Yu's intentions.

Su Xiuyu was undoubtedly the most powerful among the people present. Although Su Xiuyu emphasized that he was not a mutant, Red Devil, Torrent, and White Queen Emma all stood beside Su Xiuyu. As for Angel, he also wanted to follow Red Devil, but Su Xiuyu glared at Angel, and Angel was so scared that he stood directly beside Eric.

As for the rest of the people who were still standing beside Charles, it was obvious that the Beast, the Ravager, the Siren, and Darwin all insisted on going with Charles.

Eric saw that he had only won over one ally, but there was nothing he could do. Eric knew that conflict with Su Xiu Yu was the most unwise choice.
