Chapter 118 The Battle of London ([-])

Three days later, at midnight.

Hellfire Castle outside London.

Xiao's disappearance didn't seem to cause any disturbance in the club, and the scene of extravagance and depravity remained the same as before.

Among the club members swaying on the dance floor, there are many new faces than before.

Only the reclining and charming figure on the throne at the end of the hall reminded everyone that the Hellfire Club had indeed ushered in a new leader.

But in the heart of White Queen Emma, ​​she simply does not want to have the title of leader.

That's right, although the real supreme leader of the Hellfire Club at this time is "Black Queen" Selene.

But under the pretext of not being sociable, she appointed Emma to be the apparent leader of the club and was responsible for attending the banquet every night.

Not sociable?Shit sociable!

Emma couldn't help but burst into foul language in her heart.

She knew very well that she was the shield arranged by Selene. As for whose arrow to block, Emma felt a deep chill in her heart when she thought of the figure of that man.

She lost her fighting power with just one move from the opponent's hand. Xiao, who was once almost invincible in her eyes, was also defeated by the opponent.

Even the devil, the devil who came out of the myth from outside the dimension, failed to assassinate the other party.

Thinking of this, her resentment towards Selene deepened.

When encountering such a terrifying enemy as Ke Lun, with the character of the White Queen, she should have gone to a very far place to hide long ago.

But still unwilling to fail, the "beast" forcibly signed a contract with Selene, the White Queen and others, requiring them to continue to be bait to lure Curran into his trap.

And Selene was worried that when Curran came to the door, she would be wiped out by her before the "beast" came.

So he turned around and ordered the White Queen to become a person who walked in the sun, while he hid in the dark to wait for an opportunity to save his life.

Under layers of pressure, Emma became the most dangerous person.

This made her regret her original decision, why she chose to find Selene to take revenge on Curen after Xiao was arrested.

If she had just left at that time, maybe she would not have to worry about her own life now.

Of course, all this is meaningless complaints and assumptions.

What she hopes most is for the dawn to come as soon as possible.

That was the signal that the banquet was over, and it also meant that Emma had passed another day safely.

After all, Curran's most powerful group of vampires is not suitable for fighting during the day.

She was waiting for the time to pass, and in the shadows outside the club, there was also a group of people with superpowers constantly confirming the time.

In the darkness, Wolverine's iconic voice sounded, revealing obvious impatience:

"Fury, why do we have to wait until dawn for our actions, and now the last moment before dawn is the perfect time to act."

Fury, who was integrated with the shadow, did not respond aloud, but Carter on the side explained:
"There are quite a few social celebrities attending the dinner in the Hellfire Club. If they get involved in the battle, or even suffer casualties, it will cause unnecessary trouble."

"Humph!"

Expressing his dissatisfaction heavily, Wolverine did not speak again.

But he didn't have to wait too long.

From the doorway of the castle, after a night of carnival, exhausted men and women were sent home by the driver one after another.

Soon, all the ordinary people in the Hellfire Club left, leaving only a few mutants known to the Avengers based on intelligence.

At a certain moment, Fury, who pressed his watch, spoke in a solemn voice, and confirmed the mission to the Avengers:
"This attack on the Hellfire Club, the ideal result is to capture the 'Black Queen' Selene and the 'White Queen' Emma alive, and then use them to recruit other mutants in the club."

"Of course, considering the ability of the Red Devil, if these two escape, then change the strategy and capture the remaining mutants as much as possible."

"Remember, try not to kill mutants."

After scanning the Avengers in front of him, he confirmed that they all understood the mission requirements.

Fury gave the order to start action without hesitation.

"boom!"

Namor and Howard, who were able to fly, were the fastest. As soon as Fury finished speaking, they rushed into the castle at a high speed, creating a hurricane.

It can be seen from this that after two disastrous failures, Namor, the prince of the deep sea, began to gradually discover his potential.

Now, his strength is close to the edge of breaking through the legendary level.

The wild attack of Namor and Howard undoubtedly made the mutants in the club react.

At this time, the White Queen, who was secretly rejoicing that she had survived another night, immediately changed her face when she heard the voice.

But soon, the red devil who teleported to her side told her the identity of the intruder.

After realizing that the person who came was not the one she was most afraid of, Ke Lun, Emma felt relieved, and then said in a cold tone:
"The Avengers, how dare they come to trouble the Hellfire Club and let everyone fight with all their strength."

"Also, remember to inform Selene that she hasn't appeared in the club for a long time, and now that the enemy has invaded, she should show up at least once!"

Seeing the figure of the Red Devil dissipate into a burst of red mist, Emma turned her head and looked out the window.

There, Namor was already battling mutants from the Hellfire Club.

So she immediately activated her ability, and the surging spiritual power directly locked on the sea prince who had recently gained fame.

And in the face of the extremely buggy mind manipulation ability, if there is no corresponding protection method, then it is basically impossible to resist.

So Namor, although he tried his best to fight against this strange idea that invaded his mind, he quickly fell into the disadvantaged.

But in reality, he even lost control of his body because of his consciousness being trapped, and was beaten and flew around by several mutants who besieged him.

Amid internal and external troubles, the strongest fighter among the Avengers was about to become a puppet of the White Queen.

But Howard at the side finally noticed the abnormality that happened to Namor, and immediately realized that it was the White Queen in the intelligence who secretly used the ability on Namor.

Although he didn't know the opponent's position, Howard wisely chose the simplest and rude way.

From his steel battle suit, countless buckles opened automatically, revealing a large number of miniature bombs hidden inside.

After that, the flames under the feet of Howard's battle suit spewed out, and flew around the Namor battlefield for a few times in an instant, dropping miniature bombs everywhere.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Amid the successive explosions, Namor only suffered minor injuries by virtue of his tough skin.

But the mutants who had been attacking him all the time had to hide in the bunker, or use their abilities to resist the flames and shock waves produced by the explosion.

Emma inside the castle, facing Howard's unreasonable firepower coverage, also transformed into her own diamond form, resisting the broken stones flying like bullets.

But this also means that she can no longer use telepathy.

Namor, regained control of his body.
