Richard looked at the time and said solemnly, "Old Man, hurry up and say what you need to say, we can't stay too long."
"Yes, King."
Magneto responded submissively; he was now one hundred percent convinced by Richard.
Richard took out two corpses, one large and one small, and began to transform them using Shadow's ability.
Magneto came to his daughter, knelt down, and gently said,
"Nina, will you come with Daddy?"
Nina hesitated a bit, blinking her large eyes as she asked, "Will the other Daddy come too?"
Magneto was speechless for a moment, then Eric said, "No, Daddy still has work, he'll come find Nina after a while."
"Alright then."
Nina nodded obediently; for her, as long as Daddy was by her side, everything was fine.
Eric reluctantly rubbed his beard against his daughter's little face.
"Take good care of them."
"Of course."
Richard was also ready; in front of him lay two corpses identical to Jenna and Nina.
"Wow, it looks just like me."
Nina looked at her other self in surprise, her small face full of curiosity.
"Right? My craftsmanship is second to none!" Richard proudly raised his head.
"Then, Uncle, can you make me a unicorn doll?" Nina asked, blinking her big eyes, full of anticipation.
"Uncle? Call me Big Brother and I'll make it for you." Richard intentionally put on a stern face.
"Big Brother." Nina called out sweetly.
"Good child!"
Richard opened the Hell Teleportation Gate, and a faint blue light flickered. Hell is not affected by real-World time.
"Old Man, go in, Charles is also over there," Richard said.
"Thank you, King." Magneto held Nina in his arms, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"You're welcome. Just earn money for me diligently in the future," Richard said with a smile.
Nina looked at Eric and waved.
"Bye, Daddy."
"Bye, Nina."
Eric fought back tears, responding with a smile.
Until the Teleportation Gate closed, Eric could no longer hold back, and tears streamed from his eyes.
"Alright, don't cry. Compared to losing your daughter, not seeing her for decades is already very good," Richard said.
"Yes, it's already very good. Thank you, King."
Eric wiped away his tears and also called out the title 'King,' his voice still trembling slightly.
Richard used a biokinetic field to control the puppets to stand up, making them embrace each other, then he threw an arrow from his hand, piercing them through.
Eric's heart ached. Although he knew it was fake, he couldn't help but feel sadness and anger.
Is this the original outcome? he thought painfully.
"Next, I will seal your memories, allowing you to follow the original timeline, and you absolutely cannot remember, otherwise I cannot guarantee what changes will occur in the future."
Richard said with a solemn expression.
"I understand, King."
Eric hated it when someone entered his brain, but this time was different.
Professor's avatar lit up on Richard's chest core, and the power of the mind surged out, controlling the Police and Eric to return to their original positions, and all the surrounding birds also came back.
Then, Richard began to delete the memories of their appearance, ensuring every detail was handled properly.
Confirming there were no omissions, Richard also vanished from the spot, like a lightning bolt, returning to the future.
He appeared in the warehouse again.
"Where did you take Eric?"
Raven looked at Richard, who appeared alone, and questioned loudly, her eyes full of vigilance.
The Brotherhood members also quickly surrounded him, not letting him escape again.
"How long have I been gone?"
"Less than three seconds."
Raven hesitated for a moment but still answered.
"It seems this time travel was perfect."
Richard's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a satisfied smile.
He opened the Teleportation Gate, and Eric walked out from inside.
Looking at the surrounding Brotherhood members, Eric announced loudly.
"From today on, the leader of the Brotherhood is the King."
Raven looked at the helmet on Eric's head. Was he controlled?
The other personnel exchanged glances, their eyes also full of doubt.
Eric's expression turned cold, and all the surrounding metal instantly flew up, circling in mid-air, emitting clanging sounds, forming a deterrent against the Brotherhood members.
"Are my orders not working?!" Eric roared, his voice full of majesty and oppression.
The Brotherhood members were shocked by this sudden aura and immediately knelt down.
"Greetings, Leader."
They said in unison, their voices filled with awe.
Eric nodded slightly with satisfaction, then turned around and also knelt on one knee.
"Greetings, King!"
His voice was firm and loud, echoing in the warehouse.
"Old Man, take off your helmet, I want to see your memories."
"Yes, King."
Eric took off his helmet without changing his expression.
Behind him, the Brotherhood members' eyes widened in shock; they hadn't expected Eric to be so submissive.
Richard probed into Eric's brain and quickly found a familiar seal, which he gently unsealed.
Eric's eyes blurred for a moment, and then another memory appeared: his future self and the King took his family away, and nothing else was different.
Richard also saw it, confirming that he hadn't gone to a parallel World, but truly to the past and future.
"Old Man, sign the contract."
Although Old Man was now convinced by him, for insurance, Richard still had him sign the contract.
"Yes."
Magneto took it, manipulating metal to form his name and imprint it.
"Old Man, your next mission is to subdue over seventy percent of the Mutants in this World, and you only have half a year."
Richard commanded, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"Understood, King. What should I do if I encounter Mutants who would rather die than surrender?"
Eric accepted the mission but still raised the question in his mind. Although it was difficult, compared to the King's favor, these difficulties seemed insignificant.
"Kill them. If they are addicted to killing, kill them too," Richard said coldly, his eyes showing no emotion.
"That's still very difficult. Subduing seventy percent of the World's Mutants in only half a year, it's impossible even without sleep."
Raven couldn't help but interject, her face full of worry and doubt; traveling alone would take a lot of time.
"Raven, shut up. Don't question the King."
Eric turned his face, his gaze cold. If it were anyone else, they would already be dead.
"It's alright, Old Man."
Richard took out a box of potions and opened it.
"These are enhancement potions. Each person can be strengthened two to three times, but women should not use them, as there are side effects."
Then he took out a black card with a Demon pattern printed on it.
"Old Man, with this black card, you can get help at any store under the Demon Group: vehicles, planes, accommodation, as well as healing potions and limb regeneration potions."
"Additionally, all of you present are considered employees of the Demon Group. Each person will receive a monthly salary of thirty thousand, plus various benefits from the Demon Group."
Richard said with a smile, as if these were just trivial matters to him.
