Chapter 654 Broken Bridge

squeak——

With the rapid sound of tire friction, the vehicle escorting the weird man stopped abruptly in front of Eric.

With a flick of his fingers, the tightly-fitted escort vehicle was instantly dismantled. The scene inside was exactly what the weird man from Liu Er said, and there was not even a single trace of the weird man in it.

The entire escort vehicle was a bait.

This was used to lure the new Brotherhood of Weird Men led by Magneto into taking the bait.

"It's just, aren't you afraid of setting yourself on fire, Tony Stark?"

Looking at the empty carriage, the expression on Eric's face showed no joy or sorrow.

Turning his gaze to the driver's seat of the escort vehicle and looking at the figure with an unusually calm expression in front of the steering wheel, Eric immediately realized that the man in the car was the key to fighting against the grotesque attack this time.

"Did you really come?"

In the driver's seat, Jack Simon looked at Eric in front of the car, slightly squinting his eyes with an expected expression.

He casually picked up the cigarette on hand and lit it. In the smoke produced by nicotine, a flash of yellow light flashed from the light ring on his hand.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Magneto."

As his thoughts flashed, the cigarette in Jack Simon's mouth burned to the end.

As the last ash fell away, the power of the [Yellow Lantern Ring] in Jack Simon's hand expanded and materialized into roaring wild dogs rushing towards Magneto in front of him.

Facing these wild dogs coming towards him, Eric frowned slightly.

There was no hesitation in the movements of his hands, and he immediately controlled the surrounding vehicles to break into pieces of metal fragments and fly towards the wild dog.

The sharp metal fragments instantly cut the wild dog in half. However, this fatal injury to the wild dog, which was completely composed of the energy of the light ring, was undoubtedly greatly compromised. The cut wild dog only paused for a moment before merging again and recovering. , grinned and roared, rushing towards Eric.

Realizing that these wild dogs were not simple, the expression on Eric's face couldn't help but change. However, without any hesitation, he immediately controlled the large amount of metal around him to form a wall in an attempt to stop the wild dogs' offensive.

"The power of the lamp ring is not as simple as you think, Eric."

Looking at Eric’s coping methods,

Jack Simon, who was in the car, lit a cigarette again and puffed away.

As a [Yellow Lantern Ring] that purely uses giant manifestation energy as an attack method, its upper and lower limits are extremely obvious.

Although, because the [Yellow Lantern Ring] is not related to the original universe, the ability of the Lantern Ring is not as powerful as the original version. However, perhaps because of the symbiosis of the 'Parallax Demon', the power of the [Yellow Lantern Ring] in Jack Simon's hand was a bit stronger than what Li Ran had obtained before.

Although this enhanced comparison is still far behind the power of the serious A-level cards in Li Ran's hands, it is somewhat of an unexpected surprise.

Bang, bang!

The embodied wild dog struck with a dull sound against the steel wall made by Eric. The iron wall made of a large amount of metal was comparable to the wall built on the border between the United States and Mexico under the second executive order issued by the new president. Much thicker and without any gaps.

The wild dog opened its mouth and gnawed at the wall with its sharp teeth. Except for a few bite marks, it was unable to cause any obvious damage to the iron wall.

Seeing it, the steel wall built by Eric seemed to be blocking the attack of the light ring.

However, the next moment, the energy on the all-yellow [Yellow Lantern Ring] on Jack Simon's finger surged again.

On the other side of the iron wall, the group of wild dogs that kept biting the hard wall gathered together like a river.

Roar--

These wild dogs gathered together to form a huge evil wolf, roaring deafeningly at the steel city wall.

Rumble——

The next second, Juju raised his huge claws and crashed the steel wall in front of him with a roar.

As the iron wall collapsed, Eric behind him was immediately exposed to the eyes of the giant wolf.

A cruel look flashed in the yellow eyes. Looking at Eric, who had lost the barrier of the steel city wall and was defenseless, the giant wolf didn't hesitate or pause. Then he opened his huge mouth and bit Eric viciously. Go down.

If the giant wolf is serious this time.

Even Eric, as Magneto, has no chance of being spared. After all, although he has the ability to control magnetism, his physical fitness is only slightly better than that of ordinary people, and he does not have as powerful a self-healing ability as Logan.

boom--

Before his eyes, Eric was about to die in the giant wolf's mouth.

Suddenly, a huge dark green figure appeared from mid-air and suddenly knocked the giant wolf in front of Eric away.

The giant wolf embodied by the energy of the lamp ring is extremely large in size and strength, which can be seen from Eric's iron wall that was destroyed with one blow.

However, such a huge energy creature was beaten violently by this figure that suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

Needless to say, this dark green figure is naturally the Hulk transformed by Banner.

Of course, although in terms of strength and defense, the giant wolf embodied by the [Yellow Lantern Ring] is no match for the Hulk.

However, as an energy being, the giant wolf's fearlessness in life and death largely offsets these weaknesses.

Looking at the giant wolf entangled with Hulk, they were inseparable for a while.

Jack Simon raised his eyebrows, and the next moment a giant wolf reappeared from the light ring and rushed towards Eric.

Bang!

However, this time the attack of the giant wolf was still blocked.

"Captain America."

Looking at Steve appearing in front of Eric, holding a vibranium shield, the expression on Jack Simon's face finally changed a bit.

Holding up the vibranium shield in his hand to block the giant wolf's attack, behind Steve, the Winter Soldier immediately raised his mechanical arm and transformed into an energy cannon, firing a blue ray to blow off the giant wolf's head.

After his head was destroyed by a blast from the impact cannon, the giant wolf's lost body stopped moving, but the energy that collapsed in the next moment formed a new head in the gap again, shaking a few times.

"What an unexpected reunion scene, Captain America."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Jack Simon got out of the car, looked at Steve and Bucky standing in front of the giant wolf, and said in a slightly sighing tone.

"Not long ago, we were all teammates who fought side by side, but now we have fallen into such an embarrassing situation."

Holding the shield tightly in his hand, Steve looked at the roaring giant wolf in front of him with vigilant eyes. Hearing Jack Simon's teasing, he said silently.

"Jack Simon, do you represent the position of the 'Chaos Insurgency', registration faction?"

"Although I personally admire your fighting spirit, Captain, it is a pity that the 'Chaos Insurgency' has always advocated cooperation. We are not the self-righteous guys from the SCP Foundation. The federal government is also a 'Chaos Insurgency'. 'One of the people I hope to cooperate with, so I'm sorry, Captain."

"I wonder if you can let me handle Magneto behind you."

In response to Steve's questioning, Jack Simon's attitude was extremely cooperative.

However, the answer in his mouth was not as friendly as he appeared.

The eyes behind the shield met Jack Simon's smiling eyes, and Steve stopped in front of Eric without giving in at all.

He gave the answer with his own practical actions.

"You're putting me in a bit of trouble, Captain."

Faced with Steve's unflinching attitude, Jack Simon had a distressed look on his face.

"In this case, I can only offend the captain. After all, we have already promised Tony that we will help him solve the problem."

As Jack Simon's words fell, the giant wolf in front of Steve and others began to change, transforming from a wolf lying on all fours into a ferocious-looking giant werewolf.

Raising his head and roaring silently, the werewolf glanced at Steve and the others in front of him with ferocious eyes, and the next moment he suddenly pounced towards them.

At the same time, the giant wolf fighting with the Hulk not far away also transformed into a giant octopus, waving its tentacles and wrapping tightly around the Hulk, preventing it from moving towards Captain America and others.

"You think these things alone can defeat me!"

From now on, whether it is the attack of the embodied creature or the appearance of Hulk, Captain America and others, everyone has subconsciously ignored Eric, one of the protagonists of the entire incident.

Looking at Captain America standing in front of him, fighting with the werewolf.

A sharp light flashed in Eric's eyes, and he couldn't tolerate this feeling of being ignored.

Stepping back, he raised his hands, closed his eyes and recalled the power he had exerted with the help of Charles in the base.

A large amount of magnetic force began to surge from within his body. These forces were no longer attached to the surrounding metal, but penetrated deeper into the huge high-speed bridge above his head.

Rumble——

With the influence of Eric's power, the steel frames connected within the bridge began to twist, and cracks appeared on the bridge.

"Quick, get out of here quickly..."

On the bridge, the grotesque man who had been watching the battle below shouted.

They looked at the broken bridge and began to run away in fear.

Standing under the highway bridge, two streaks of bright red nosebleeds flowed from Eric's nose, while he himself continued to control the metal in the highway bridge as if he was unaware, floating the entire broken section. stand up.

Large chunks of gravel fell from the shattered bridge.

Eric gritted his teeth and continued to use the power in his body to control this section of the bridge to slowly fall in the direction of the werewolf.

The scene of a broken and moving high-speed bridge is undoubtedly very shocking.

Looking up and looking at the floating broken bridge, Jack Simon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Without hesitation, he controlled the [Yellow Lantern Ring] in his hand to form a translucent shield to protect himself.

Boom!

And the next second after the protective shield was formed, the power in Eric's hand also loosened.

The broken bridge that was floating in the air under its control made a huge rumble and crashed down, directly smashing the manifested werewolf into pieces.

At the same time, the flying gravel damaged the entire road, as if it had been baptized by missiles.

"Ahem..."

At the same time, the destruction and rumbling sound caused by the impact of the broken bridge also drowned the figures of Steve and others.

Tens of seconds later, in a ruined battlefield.

The [Yellow Lantern Ring] in Jack Simon's hand flashed, and a dust mask appeared on his face, with a large amount of gravel scattered on the ground around him.

Putting away the energy shield wrapped around his body, Jack Simon looked at the scene in front of him.

Except for the rubble and ruins all over the ground, neither Captain America nor Magneto was anywhere to be seen.

…

"...The destruction of the highway bridge caused more than a hundred people to be injured throughout New York City. Regarding this attack, the President issued a severe rebuke, believing that everything was the responsibility of those superheroes and weirdos who were unwilling to register. The public was against the opposition. The dissatisfaction of the registered superheroes has reached its peak. According to the latest polls, less than 3% of the polls support the anti-registrants, but at the same time, the polls support the superheroes mainly Tony Stark. It has reached a record high of 90%. It can be said that the highway bridge incident made the entire American people overwhelmingly support the implementation of the Superhero Registration Act..."

On the news program, Magneto's actions pushed the entire opposition position of the "Superhero Registration Act" into a more passive situation.

The populace recognized the danger of the grotesques and feared their power.

This fear has exceeded the values ​​of freedom and democracy they claimed in the past.

"I promise you, Mr. President, I will take care of everything."

In Avengers Tower, Tony made a promise to the new president on the phone.

"Whether it's Freak or Captain America."

Ended the call with the new president.

Tony turned his head, looked at Natasha beside him, shrugged, and made a helpless expression.

"It seems that our president has become a little impatient. The various actions of the anti-registration faction have obviously caused him great irritation."

"The highway bridge incident caused his poll numbers to drop by five percentage points, and the stock market also suffered a heavy blow."

To this, Natasha calmly gave the answer.

"Is there any sign of Captain America?"

Hearing Natasha's answer, Tony raised some eyebrows, and then changed the subject and asked.

"No."

Shaking her head slightly, Natasha replied.

"Continue to search. Since he appeared once, there will be a second time, a third time..."

Facing Tony's order, Natasha nodded, turned and left the room where he was.

"..."

Looking at Natasha's leaving figure, Tony's eyes flickered.

"Mr. Stark, the 'Sentinel' is complete."

At this moment, Ultron's voice sounded in the room and made a report to him.
