Chapter 163

[Hi guys, Translator here, It's been a while, lol, it's been 6 months and I've decided to continue this so, Rejoice!. ]

"Well then, it's decided it's him, and when the next operation is done, a crystal belongs to him and he's responsible for filling it up."

"I see."

Fire Venom nodded.

Having a crystal meant that Magneto would be the new captain.

The Black Queen waved her hand and said, "Go down and rest."

With those words, the space around the Black Queen distorted and the her figure disappeared.

Seeing this scene, the Fire Venom breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was horrible."

The mutant named Jumbo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He was strong and two metres tall, but he was almost scared to death when he was in front of the Black Queen.

Fire Venom nodded and then said, "Damn it! Magneto..."

"I clearly didn't want him to get involved, this is not good."

"Whoa!"

A woman with short brown hair and a nose ring, named Soundwave, looked at Fire Venom in surprise and said, "Since when do you start looking out for others."

Fire Venom hummed softly and said, "He saved me."

The giant scratched its head and said, "So that's what happened."

Soundwave suddenly whispered, "What do you guys think that crystal collection is? Every time I see that thing, I always get the chills all over my body "

"I don't know."

The giant shook its head nervously.

Fire Poison gave the two a blank stare and said, "Every operation requires us to bring people to kill, and the more people we kill, the more the crystal blacken, you guys really can't guess?"

The two fell silent.

Fire Venom shrugged and said, "Let's go, at least we're safe until the next mission."

With that, his face suddenly changed and he cursed out.

"Damn it, what am I going to tell Magneto."

"Haha, that's your business."

Soundwave laughed as she got up and quickly left with Jumbo.

...

"Oh~"

The Black Queen purred contentedly, setting aside a crystal that had become clear again, before picking up another black one.

"Heh, this is much easier than trying to collect them myself."

She smiled, licking her lips.

Life force, or perhaps it could be called soul energy.

That's what was stored in the three crystals.

She was a mutant, but also a witch at the same time.

The combination of her mutant powers and her magic made her terrifyingly powerful.

The crystals are magical implements that she has created with her magic.

Her ability is life force absorption and can use the absorbed life force to enhance herself, heal herself, and even extend her life span.

In addition to this, her ability can do much more with her magic.

For example, the flickering ability just demonstrated, hypnosis, and immunity to damage.

In addition to these demonstrated abilities, she can even manipulate life force, project it into non-living bodies for manipulation, and even use it to create a psychic shield.

And this is how she was able to resist her opponent's control and drive him out of Hellfire when she first fought the White Queen.

In addition, she can also use magic to transform herself into her shadow form.

Her abilities are not only strong, but also comprehensive, which is the main reason why she could control Hellfire for so many years.

Collecting life force, this is the main reason why she has to make things happen every once in a while after taking control of Hellfire.

The initial collaboration with the Black King had consumed all the life force she had absorbed for many years, only to not even get a single fart.

She had no choice but to start from scratch and collect life force again.

Only, none of Hellfire's operations seemed to be going too well lately, and S.H.I.E.L.D. with a mutant had been thwarting their operations.

Perhaps, she needed to find a chance to take the other side out ...

After a thought flashed through the Black Queen's mind, she began to absorb the life force from the crystal again.

...

In the corner of a bar.

"What?"

Eric looked at Fire Venom in surprise, showing some surprise at the right time and said, "I became one of the captains?"

Looking at Eric's expression, Fire Venom opened his mouth and couldn't help but say, "Magneto, this is not a good job!"

Eric froze and said, "What do you mean?"

Fire Venom pressed his brow and said, "This is something I shouldn't be telling you right now, but you saved my life, so ..."

He took a sharp gulp of wine and said, "Shit, I'll tell you!"

Eric poured the other man's drink and looked like he was listening carefully.

"By becoming captain, the Black Queen will give us a crystal, and a captain's job is to lead the men of Hellfire and fill it up!"

"Fill it up?" Eric queried, "Fill it with what?"

Fire Venom lowered his voice and said, "With lives! The more you kill, the faster the crystal will fill up."

Eric's heart was startled, then he saw Fire Venom say with a frown on his face, "If it doesn't fill up in a period of time, the Black Queen will step in to punish the crystal owner."

"Punish?" Eric's face was grim as he said, "What does that mean."

"She will personally strike, absorb the captain's life force and turn him to dust!"

Fire Venom poured himself a drink, a look of fear flashing in his eyes as he sighed, "Pierce was turned to dust before our eyes two hours ago."

Seeing Eric not respond to him, he froze, only to find Eric's face grim as the metal throughout the bar began to shake, causing the people in the bar to begin to wonder, and some even ran out shouting 'there's going to be an earthquake'.

Fire Venom was alarmed and said, "Magneto! Calm down!"

Eric took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Instantly, the anomaly in the bar disappeared.

"What's she collecting all that stuff for?"

"She said it was for the mutants."

"Do you guys ... believe that?"

"We have to believe it!"

Silence ...

Eric hammered the table with a clenched fist and said, "She sacrificed so many people for herself, even killing her own people!"

"Shhh!"

Fire Venom gave Eric a wink.

Eric took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and said, "Why do you guys still listen to her when she's like that?"

Fire Venom pursed his lips and gave a bitter laugh, saying, "What can we do? She can always find the betrayer and then put them ..."

A thought flashed through Eric's mind and he said, "When is the next operation, when is it?"

"Not sure about that, the Black Queen is always on short notice."

Fire Venom said, then looking at Eric's gloomy expression, his heart tightened and he said, "I warn you, don't take any chances!"

"And leave me out of it!"

Eric nodded and said, "I know."

He wouldn't take any chances, he'd deal with her without fail!
