Black-robed Superman from a certain American comic book

Both Eric and Charles smiled as they looked at the enormous fireball shining in the sky.

"Eric, this is the result of our joint efforts."

Charles smiled at Eric, nodding as he looked at the blazing flames in the sky. This was the result of their joint efforts, and he was very satisfied with it.

"Yes, Charles..."

Eric Lansheer looked at Charles, who was wearing a huge helmet that covered his eyes and had a smile on his lips, and smiled slightly in return.

For a moment, the two helmeted mutant leaders were locked in a passionate exchange.

“Mr. Eric, Principal Charles! Something even bigger is coming!”

Just as Eric Lansheer and Charles were gazing deeply into each other's eyes, Jean suddenly clutched her head and knelt on the ground. She seemed to sense a tremendous force moving toward their planet, Blue Star, a force that felt both familiar and strange to her.

"what?"

Eric Lansher and Charles frowned as they looked at the suffering Jean. They could feel her trembling mind and exhausted body.

"Buzz!"

Just as Eric and Charles were about to lift the piano from the ground, a roar suddenly resounded in the minds of everyone on the entire planet Earth. In an instant, a huge wormhole appeared in the sky, and a sense of oppressive pressure enveloped everyone's heads.

"What an oppressive feeling this is..."

Everyone on Earth was trembling.

In an instant, an enormous face appeared before everyone in the world.

"This is……"

When people all over the world saw that enormous face, their eyes widened. They recognized the owner of that face—the Sentinel robot they had destroyed.

However, this Sentinel robot was enormous, far larger than the humanoid Sentinels they had dealt with before, and its strength was incomparable to those Sentinels.

What is this?

When the local people saw the Sentinel, which was the size of a planet, they were all filled with despair. The Sentinel robot, which exuded a huge presence and an unparalleled sense of oppression, was definitely not something that they, as mortals, could compare to. For a moment, everyone in the world turned ashen-faced.

"Mom, what's that?"

On the street, a little girl, unaware of the truth, looked at the giant Sentinel robot above her with innocent eyes, tugged at her mother's clothes, and asked in a soft voice.

"My God."

The child's mother gazed at the enormous object in the sky, which resembled a planet, and couldn't help but marvel.

"Child, everything will be alright, don't be afraid, everything will be alright..."

The young mother held the girl and gently comforted her.

"Mom, is that a very bad person?"

The little girl, whose eyes had shown no fear at all, trembled slightly after hearing her mother's words, because she sensed the fear in her mother's heart.

"..."

The young mother didn't speak, but her slightly trembling body spoke volumes.

"It's okay, Mom. Superheroes will come to save us."

The little girl hugged her mother's shoulder tightly, trying to comfort her frightened mother in the same way her mother had comforted her.

“Julie…”

Feeling the little girl's warm embrace, tears welled up in the mother's eyes. She felt utterly powerless, even less capable than her own child in the face of such a powerful enemy. At the same time, the young mother was filled with self-reproach, realizing she couldn't even protect her child. All she could do was pray, pray that there truly were heroes in the world who would stand up and protect them.

“Julie, you’re right. Heroes will stand up to protect us. The army of the Free Nation will definitely step up at the critical moment.”

The mother didn't place her hopes on superheroes; she placed her last hope in the invincible army of the Free Nation.

Inside a white palace in the Free Country...

"Gentlemen, what about our country's incredibly powerful nuclear weapons?"

The current president of the Free Nation, a slightly balding middle-aged man, with his enormous belly protruding, asked a group of high-ranking Free Nation officials beside him a question.

"Your Excellency President, just now you promised Mr. Charles that you had launched them all. Moreover, if I may be so bold, even if we hadn't used up all our nuclear weapons, we wouldn't have been able to harm such a massive object in the slightest."

The senior official looked at the obese middle-aged man in front of him and spoke respectfully.

"Very well, then gentlemen, please tell me how to escape from Earth..."

The president of the Free Nation, this greasy middle-aged man, inquired of his officials about escape methods. While everyone still clung to hope, waiting for their president to rescue them, their great president had already abandoned the fight and begun contemplating escape.

"What to do? What to do?"

Meanwhile, Charles and the others were also bewildered. No matter how they looked at it, the giant Sentinel robot seemed invincible, which was far beyond their ability to handle.

"puff……"

Just as Charles was pondering, Eric Lansheer coughed up mouthfuls of blood, fell from the air, and landed beside Charles.

"Eric..."

Charles looked at Eric with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"I can't go on, Charles, I've reached my limit."

Eric looked at Charles and shook his head helplessly. He tried to stop the Ultimate Sentinel Robot, but the enemy's power exceeded his limits. Even if he burned his own life, he could not shake the Ultimate Sentinel Robot in the slightest.

"Mutants, today is your end."

The voice of the Ultimate Sentinel Robot echoed in the hearts of all Earthlings.

The next moment, a huge ball of light burst out from the hand of the Ultimate Sentinel robot.

"Humanity is finished..."

Charles looked at everything before him and took off his helmet. He had given up. The young Charles now clearly lacked the composure of the older Charles, as well as the courage to face despair.

"Hey……"

Charles, having removed his helmet, touched the top of his shiny head.

"Shhh! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let Apocalypse cut the hair off my head."

Charles was somewhat annoyed; even in death, he still wanted to die with some dignity.

"No, we don't want to die."

Qin, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up and shook her head at Charles.

"Don't we want to die?"

Charles was taken aback. He didn't understand what Qin was talking about, and for some reason, he felt that Qin was a bit more of a charlatan than he was.

"Go to hell!"

Just as Charles was wondering, the Ultimate Sentinel Robot threw the Ultimate Punishment Cannon at Earth.

"Do you want to destroy Earth? Did you get my permission?"

Just as humanity watched in despair as the fireball, shining like the sun, hurtled toward the blue planet.

A cold shout suddenly echoed in people's minds!

A man dressed in a black and white combat suit stood in front of Blue Star and casually absorbed the attack from the Ultimate Sentinel robot.

"Zhu...it's Tianqi who's here."

With a solemn and dignified expression, Qin addressed Charles and the others.

"Apocalypse has returned..."

Charles breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Qin's words. Although he didn't know if Jupiter could deal with the ultimate Sentinel robot that was the size of a planet in outer space, if even Jupiter couldn't deal with it, then he certainly couldn't.

"But Apocalypse cannot win, or rather, Apocalypse cannot protect Earth while dealing with the Ultimate Sentinel Robots."

"To prevent me from observing everything..."

"To prevent Earth from being destroyed, Charles, I need your help."

As Qin spoke in a deep voice to Charles, it seemed as if a huge figure behind Qin was speaking in sync with her.

What do you need me to do?

Charles didn't ask anything; asking anything now would be pointless. He believed that Qin would explain things clearly to him once everything was over.

"Thank you for your help, Charles."

Qin's expression grew increasingly solemn as she took the helmet from Charles's hand with utmost seriousness.

"Um?!"

Charles was taken aback. He looked at the violin in his hand holding his helmet, and raised an eyebrow. Could it be that the so-called help was just taking his helmet? What kind of help was this?

Then, to Charles's astonishment, Jean put the helmet on her head.

"and many more……"

"Is this helmet something you can just put on?"

Charles raised an eyebrow as he looked at Qin, who was wearing a helmet right in front of him.

"certainly……"

Qin nodded. "Is there some kind of preparatory ritual before putting on a helmet?" "No, there isn't at all."

"No, what about my hair?!"

"If this helmet can be put on directly regardless of whether you have hair or not, then wouldn't all the hair I cut have been for nothing?"

Charles's face turned ashen; he felt he had been tricked, utterly and completely tricked by Mr. Apocalypse.

"Hahaha……"

After hearing Charles's words, Qin laughed, her beautiful face beaming with joy.

“Charles, your baldness is fate. Even if you weren’t bald today, you would still be bald tomorrow. There is no hair in your life.”

Jean looked at Charles and shook her head, giving a warning about Charles's fate.

"WTF?!"

Charles cursed under his breath, "What kind of nonsense is this, being destined to be bald?!"

"Alright, Charles, don't bother me..."
