"What are you talking about, Erik?!" The White Queen sprang up from the bed, glaring at Magneto. "You an I’m fired? All the mutants on Earth are involved in this war, and I’m just going ho?! Did you not wake up this morning?!"
"This isn’t a negotiation, it’s a notification," Magneto said. "You know, Professor X would never allow any problems from our universe’s mutants..."
"What’s wrong with ? Oh, I get it, it’s because I went to see a psychiatrist, right? You think that ans I’m losing control? This is absurd!"
"That’s not the issue, the problem is you made it known to everyone," Magneto said. "Now everyone in the base knows about it, everyone knows your ntal state is very bad, even relying on a large amount of dication to suppress it. This has frightened many mutants, so we made the decision to send you back to Earth to recuperate..."
"Known to everyone?!" The White Queen said incredulously. "That damned psychiatrist promised to keep it confidential!"
"It’s not from him, the professor has been keeping communication with him, and disclosing your condition doesn’t benefit him. You should rather think who’s profiting from it."
The White Queen paused, then suddenly realized, gritting her teeth: "Damn it! It’s definitely that Selene! That damned bitch!!!"
"You’re talking about the Black Queen?" Magneto squinted and said. "Our universe’s Black Queen isn’t involved in the war, which universe is it?"
"What other universe? The Pri Universe!" The White Queen’s voice was almost overflowing with anger. "Those people are pure madn, idiots! Anyone whose head hasn’t been squeezed wouldn’t spread such rumors!"
The White Queen was extrely angry. She knew how powerful such rumors could be. She, as a mind power user who can rival Professor X, if she lost control, no one in the base would be safe.
Therefore, her visit to the psychiatrist and the dication must be sensationalized. Even to calm the panicked mutants, she couldn’t stay in the base any longer; she had to be as far away as possible, so that even an outburst wouldn’t hurt anyone.
However, her ntal problems and the fact that she took dication were true, and there were more than a few people in the hospital who saw her. This kind of thing, once on the scale, becos a weight impossible to bear.
At the ti, she took a large bag of dication, even if there was only one effective drug inside, but not everyone is a psychiatrist. Seeing so much dication, they’d certainly only think that the White Queen’s condition was severe enough to need so much dication to control.
Once again, the Hellfire Club people are detrintal to others without benefit to themselves. The Black Queen knows that spreading such rumors might lead to panic and the White Queen getting expelled from the base, which doesn’t benefit her at all, but she still does it. She thinks as long as the White Queen is in a bad state, that’s the greatest benefit.
The White Queen was furious, breathing heavily. Magneto could only sigh and say: "Calm down, lady. We’re from the sa universe and won’t let you suffer alone. Soone will deal with the Pri Universe people, you know that Charles always insists on strict standards, and won’t allow any accidents. We’ve already arranged the best sanatorium in New York for you and will cover all the recuperation costs. You might as well go back and rest for a while, and when the battle intensifies, we’ll find a way to bring you back."
Although the White Queen was angry, she knew being angry was useless. She couldn’t fight against Magneto and Professor X, who seem stronger now than ever, along with their nurous subordinates, so she had no choice but to follow the arrangent.
Yet, she was holding a grudge. The saying about stepping back doesn’t solve anything; she’s already troubled by arrhythmia and hasn’t rested well for a long ti, now angry again, the White Queen’s mind was in chaos.
Seeing Magneto had arranged a spaceship for her made her even angrier, thinking this was because they considered her unstable, not letting her use a teleportation portal.
But in reality, it was because Charles knew Shiller prescribed her Magic Mushroom dication, which might affect the magical teleportation for a few hours after taking it. Fearing she had already taken it, they arranged for her to take the spaceship back.
The White Queen boarded the spaceship with a cold face, watching it sail beyond the Androda Galaxy, unable even to curse the Black Queen, sitting in her seat, feeling waves of dizziness.
But just when they passed near the central black hole of the Androda Galaxy, she saw a familiar group of people. She stood up, went to the window to look closely: "Isn’t that the Pri Universe’s Hellfire Club people?!"
Imdiately, old grudges and new hatred overwheld her mind. The White Queen was filled with rage, not giving the mad Black Queen a taste of her own dicine? Does she think Emma Frost is an easy target?!
anwhile, among the group from the Pri Universe’s Hellfire Club slowly approaching the central black hole, Black King Sebastian frowned and looked at the Black Queen, asking: "Are you sure that person can deliver a fatal blow to our universe’s Professor X?"
"Haven’t you already witnessed his abilities?" the Black Queen sneered, "Whether it was injuring the leader with a single blow or providing us with the plan to spread rumors, it’s enough to prove his strength and intelligence. We can totally make him the new White King, instead of that Magneto who is entangled with Professor X."
"You know this isn’t a good ti for such things," Sebastian said coldly, "If we really lose, the Mutant Brotherhood and the X-n won’t let you off."
"You’re really short-sighted. What’s the importance of winning or losing this battle? The important thing is, when we return to our universe, what kind of advantage we can gain. You don’t really want Professor X and Magneto from our universe to lead the mutants of the multiverse, do you? With such influence, those mutant police who ddle more than the Pacific Ocean won’t spare us!"
Seeing that he couldn’t persuade her, Sebastian remained silent. Although he didn’t like the X-n either, he was extrely wary of this group of mutants from the Pri Universe, especially the young pair of old rivals. If they found out what they were doing, they’d be in deep trouble.
However, Sebastian had indeed witnessed the prowess of the Mysterious Man that the Black Queen spoke of. It’s well known that Professor X from the Pri Universe has Cerebro, and even then, they had no evidence of the rumors spread by him and his associates. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been politely invited for a talk, but directly attacked.
Moreover, the Black Queen had a point. The Hellfire Club consists of people who stop at nothing to achieve their goals, and the main conflict between them and the X-n lies in their thods, a conflict that is irreconcilable, with each side inevitably vying for superiority.
Now, if the Mutant Brotherhood and the X-n of the Pri Universe aim to gain a position in the multiverse, and truly manage to succeed, where would that leave the Hellfire Club?
So the current plan is to send them back to Battleworld, ensuring that they can’t contribute to the subsequent battles, thereby ensuring they don’t get a share of the spoils when the final rewards are distributed. Perhaps even the representative of the Pri Universe mutants will beco their Hellfire Club, which would be greatly advantageous.
"I’ll go et the Phoenix alone later," the Black Queen said again, "We must pin Professor X’s death on the Phoenix, so other Professor Xs won’t give us trouble."
"Isn’t that too risky?" Sebastian said again, "The Phoenix losing control is too dangerous; we might not make it out."
"What are you afraid of? At worst, just get a little hurt," the Black Queen scoffed, "Besides, I won’t overly provoke the Phoenix, just plant a small bomb in her mind, and when she goes back to see her dear teacher, the power will explode and kill him."
Sebastian didn’t argue further. He knew the Black Queen had such capabilities, and she possessed mind manipulation abilities, but the Black Queen’s mind manipulation was exceptionally unique, based on Magic Power rather than brainwave control, making it difficult for mind power users adept in brainwave control to detect. They had tricked Professor X this way before, perhaps this ti too.
"It’s best not to affect too many people," Sebastian still reminded, "The people of the Pri Universe are madn. Previously, the Professor X here took action and killed almost all the Flash and Superman over there. If you dare touch him, Magneto won’t let it go."
"Yeah, yeah," the Black Queen said dismissively, "Those two old n pretending to be young, truly ridiculous. But the Pri Universe Phoenix won’t go to them, there’s no way it will affect them... wait, she’s here, you all wait over there."
The Black Queen flew towards the red-haired figure near the Black Hole. Seeing her, the Pri Universe Phoenix frowned deeply, then said, "What do you want, Selene? You don’t really think you can beat , do you?"
The Black Queen smiled at her and then said, "I certainly wouldn’t think that, mighty Phoenix, who could ever defeat you? I called you here this ti just to persuade you to convince the Professor, and then have the Professor convince Magneto, to let them join the Hellfire Club..."
"Our Professor and Magneto aren’t close," the Pri Universe Phoenix said bluntly, "They’ve fought for most of their lives, their relationship isn’t good enough to introduce each other to jobs, you might as well give up."
The Black Queen wasn’t angry, and said with a smile, "How would you know if you don’t ask him? Our club’s benefits are quite good, at least he won’t have to worry about retirent funds. Otherwise, when that day cos and he can’t move, does he want to end up in a nursing ho without even having citizenship?"
Though she didn’t have a good impression of Magneto, the Phoenix clearly disliked the woman in front of her even more. She said, with a touch of distaste, "You’re truly ignorant beyond belief. I have nothing to discuss with you. Goodbye!"
As the Phoenix turned to leave, a gleam flashed in the Black Queen’s eyes. Her magic had been successfully cast, sothing was waiting to stimulate the Phoenix’s Spirit Manipulation, now lurking within the Pri Universe Phoenix’s soul.
While the Phoenix said she had nothing to discuss with her, given her character, she would truthfully inform them, letting Professor X and Magneto make their own decisions. Therefore, her first stop after returning would undoubtedly be to find Professor X. Once the bomb detonates, the out-of-control Phoenix would imdiately send Professor X back ho.
Just as the Black Queen turned to leave, she suddenly felt like a fish frozen in ice, stiffening instantly. She sensed an invincible force destroying her brainwave.
"No!!!!!!!!!!"
