Apocalypse's Sudden Deference

Reed didn't understand what Victor was saying, but just smiled in agreement.

Johnny whistled.

Susan glanced at Victor but didn't mention that she actually already had a boyfriend.

Her relationship with Victor was never formalized.

The reason she didn't accept him wasn't just because Victor was arrogant, but more so because she discovered that Victor liked her not because he liked her as a person, but because she was Reed's ex-girlfriend.

A medal that proves he is better than Reed.

If Reed were a woman, Victor would probably have abandoned him immediately to pursue Reed.

Meanwhile, Victor finally noticed Ron and his group. "Who are you?"

The three responded.

"Ron Weasley, we are Susan's friends."

"Peter Parker."

"Tom Ralph Riddle, you can call me Ralph."

Susan nodded in agreement. "Yes, they are my friends."

Without prior agreement, they planned to conceal the truth about the other world from this extremely powerful and arrogant man, Behind-the-Scenes God.

(Harry wasn't surprised at all by Ron's silence; this Victor was just too Slytherin.)

Susan steered the conversation toward the medical check-up, saying, "Now all that's left is you and Reed."

Victor nodded.

The satisfaction he gets from his superpowers is greater than that from being a billionaire.

He was already getting impatient.

This time, the observer was Susan, who was a researcher in the field of genetics and had a broad understanding of related topics.

Reed was the first to undergo a physical examination.

"It's incredible. The cells and cell membranes in your body have become a highly elastic polymer material that is even better than rubber. The number of organelles is a hundred times that of an ordinary person, and more than half of them have unknown configurations." Susan's voice became somewhat erratic as she looked at the data and charts fed back by the testing instrument.

As a scientist who was only slightly inferior to Reed, Victor directly concluded, "This is why you can extend freely without damaging organs; your [Flexible Cells] replace blood vessels and nerves, and they have greater functions than ordinary cells."

"You no longer have the inherent weaknesses caused by the human body's structure, so ordinary kinetic weapons are no longer effective against you,"

"But in high or low temperature environments, your body's performance will be affected."

"High temperature or low temperature?" Reed pondered for a moment after stepping out of the testing device. "It seems I need to develop a portable device that can keep my body temperature constant."

Although his voice was somewhat weak, it was filled with unparalleled confidence and certainty, as if he knew he would definitely succeed in developing it, and the only uncertainty was the time.

"Do you need my help with the design?" Victor had no doubt that Reed would fail. "Your aesthetic sense is a bit strange. Alright, my turn."

He couldn't wait to get into the instrument.

"Let me see." Reed was now in control of the testing equipment again.

"Your situation is the same as Ben's, no, even better. Your cells, organs, and entire physiological structure are evolving into an organic alloy. Stronger than titanium and steel, harder than diamond."

"This transformation will turn you into an indestructible, massive battery that can extract electrical energy from the outside and turn it into weapons."

Victor's heart sank. Was he going to turn into a metal man who couldn't shiver? "How much longer?"

Translation: How much longer can I keep gloating?

"Two to three weeks," Reed replied.

However, he was Reed after all, and he saw a further direction for its evolution, unlike the doctor Victor originally sought out, who mistakenly thought it was a contagious virus and even wanted to report it to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

"With the absorption of a large amount of external energy, this time will be shortened."

"I suggest you find a power plant."

"Turn into a metal man as soon as possible?" Victor asked sarcastically.

His heart is now filled with jealousy and Killing Intent.

Reed had length, he had toughness, but Reed could cower, he couldn't.

Reed didn't understand. "Of course, it's about reaching energy saturation as quickly as possible to restore the body to its original state."

"What?" Victor asked.

"I mean the organic alloy that makes up your body isn't a metal in the true sense; it exists in the form of flesh and blood when it's saturated with energy," Reed replied.

I can still gloat!

Victor, who was on the verge of turning to the dark side, suddenly felt his heart filled with light. "I'm going to the power plant right now."

Ron, Ralph Peter, and the other two exchanged glances. Wasn't this just a version of Magneto without the ability to control a magnetic field?

Susan was also shocked for a moment, realizing that her universe had too many coincidences and similarities with other universes.

Her brother looks just like Captain America, and his power is that of the Golden Boy. The only difference is that his physical abilities are still at the level of an ordinary person.

Victor's superpowers are nearly identical to Magneto's powers awakened by taking [Compound V].

(Unlike [Compound V] and the fact that Superhero World only mentioned it in Ron's words, this was the first time that superpowers were being displayed so directly to the people of the Wizarding World.)

(They were amazed to discover that science alone could grant Muggle spell-like abilities.)

(No wonder that after magic and science were combined in the Starry World, humanity entered the Star Era in just one hundred years.)

(However, for the Cosmic Knight, especially Cedric, who was already skilled in physical evolution, he gained even more.)

( In the Rune Card World, deep within the Forbidden Forest, Cedric, his body metallic and radiating intense heat, surrounded by lightning, reverts to his original form the next second. "Interesting ability.")

(For a highly skilled painter like him, painting on a blank sheet of paper is much easier than making corrections on a finished painting.)

(Take the ability to discharge electricity as an example. Because it is only natural electricity, unlike the Thunderbird, it is easier to perform secondary processing, i. e., enchanting.)

(Furthermore, the former is more efficient at capturing external lightning, and the instantaneous high temperature and pressure it generates are also more powerful. Moreover, since its prototype is human, it is more suitable for him to perform in human form.)

Ron had no idea that someone could gain superpowers simply from these Heavenly Book charts and data.

All he wants to do right now is leave.

After everyone had their medical checkups and Victor finished his trip to the power plant, Susan had no intention of staying any longer.

——

"Who are you?"

Magneto asked coldly.

After taking his revenge and burying his wife and daughter, he was looking for a suitable place to receive visitors when this blue-skinned man in full armor found him with three Mutants, intending to recruit him.

He naturally wouldn't agree.

Then a war broke out.

The original factory has been razed to the ground, Dadi scarred and devastated.

Apart from the area where the three Mutants they all ignored were located, there was not a single good piece of land or any established buildings within a kilometer radius.

The blue-skinned man in front of them was still unharmed.

He demonstrated a variety of abilities in battle, but the most difficult to deal with were his invisible force field that could decompose and reshape matter, and his supersonic perception.

This prevents Magneto's magnetic field ability from being applied to him; it can only be used on his metallic body to throw punches or occasionally unleash plasma cannons.

But this blue-skinned man also possesses superhuman strength and inexhaustible energy.

This led to Magneto encountering a situation similar to his battle with Shadowcat, where neither could break through the other's defenses.

"Elohim, God, Ra, the Sun God, I have had many different names in different eras. I was born from death, and my mission is to ignite the spark of human awakening and to propel the gears of civilization at full speed," the blue-skinned man said. "When the trees grow into a forest and new life has nowhere to go, I will ignite this great fire."

Magneto scoffed, "You think you're God?"

"Someone has called me that before. You can call me Apocalypse," the blue-skinned man said calmly. "You, Ororo, Becky, and Warren are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse that I have been preparing to recruit after a thousand years of slumber."

He didn't actually appear as nonchalant as he seemed.

After discovering that Magneto's abilities were completely different from what he had collected—that they were connected to the Dadi's magnetic field, possessed inexhaustible power, and an immortal body—he changed his mind.

To defeat him, I must reincarnate into him.

That's why they started fighting.

Now, after discovering that the bone was difficult to chew, he gave up on his idea.

I had no choice but to become amiable again.

"Unfortunately, I'm too late. You've already discovered the earth-shattering power hidden within you." Apocalypse sighed. "I've lost a precious knight, but I've also gained a god of equal stature."

"What do you want to do?" Magneto narrowed his eyes.

"Let's build a world for the strong, for Mutants, so that tragedies like yours will never happen again," Apocalypse said. "Let's join forces, my friend."

Now he dares not call Magneto" child" anymore. Putting himself in Magneto's shoes, he, being petty and concerned with hierarchy, naturally began to pay attention to how Magneto was addressed.

"Let your powers explore downwards, deep into the earth's core, reverse the magnetic axis of this Dadi beneath our feet, uproot everything that mortals have built from the ground, and cleanse this world," Apocalypse smiled. "Then we will lead the survivors into a better world. A world ruled by us."

Seeing the longing on the faces of Apocalypse and the three so-called knights beside him, Magneto rolled his eyes. "And then go back to being cavemen? No internet, movies, cola, modern entertainment facilities, being the king of a bunch of cavemen? Or a god?"

"As a strong person, you can simply take or demand whatever you want."

"You're talking to farmers who complain that their farms are too developed and too modernized, and insist on reverting to outdated farming methods with low yields and single-skilled operations."

"You bastard, you can't possibly find meaning in life only by ruling and tormenting others, can you?"

The longing on the faces of Stormfront, Mercy, and Psylocke vanished instantly.

They also began to doubt what was so good about being the ruler of primitive people.

Apocalypse could no longer maintain his smile, because the dark corners of his heart had been exposed.

Can you really say that someone can't stand seeing ordinary people living a life they've never experienced, or that they're afraid of technological advancements threatening them?

However, noticing his knight's expression, he still found an excuse.

As his ability was activated, his eyes turned silver, wisps of ash rose from the ground, and under his control, a motorcycle appeared out of thin air.

"I can reproduce everything in modern society."

Stormfront, Mercy, and Psylocke's loyalty has returned to their faces.

Magneto retorted, "Come on, I'm not some illiterate person you can easily fool. The precision of your abilities is only at the molecular level. You can reproduce the motorcycle because this place used to be a factory with the corresponding molecules."

Oh, so you never went to school?

Apocalypse suddenly thought of saying this, and if it weren't for his blue skin, you could probably see the blush on his face.

Although he has lived for a thousand years, he has always done whatever he wanted with his abilities and has never encountered anyone who has been so disrespectful and humiliating to him.

Therefore, he became red-hot.

"Are you determined to go against me, my friend?"

Magneto found it even more outrageous. "You're the one who eagerly appeared in front of me, refusing to leave, insisting that I become your subordinate. When that didn't work, you wanted me to join you and become your so-called friend. Aren't you the one who's going against me?"

"Is someone trying to oppose us?"

A voice suddenly appeared on the open, unobstructed Dadi.

Ron, leading four others (including Harry, who also chose to appear at this time), appeared behind Magneto.

Damn! Where did all these powerful individuals come from?!

Apocalypse instinctively took a step back.

Although they weren't part of the same system, and he couldn't even sense the X-Gene within them, he could still sense their power.

Especially that blue-eyed, black-haired boy.

He is not on the same level as anyone else, including himself.

After experiencing the inability to defeat Magneto, who was of the same energy level, he could no longer comfort himself with the idea that he had many abilities and no weaknesses, and that although his energy level was lower, his combat power was superior to his opponent's.

Sometimes, an opponent can crush everyone with just one ability.

"Is he an enemy?" Harry asked.

Upon hearing this, Ron looked at Magneto.

Upon hearing the blue-eyed, black-haired kid speak, Apocalypse quickly interrupted, "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. We're friends. Erik and I are both Mutants. He might even be my descendant."

Magneto also sensed Harry's power. He grinned, revealing eight teeth, and said, "So you're going to inform all of humanity to destroy modern civilization and become the king of the Stone Age?"

"No, no," Apocalypse quickly changed his mind, "From now on, I will be your knight." Seeing that Magneto was unmoved, he added, "I will do whatever you say! I have the ability to discover the potential of Mutants and enhance Mutants abilities!"

Filled with Killing Intent, Magneto, who was thinking of protecting his kingdom and eliminating the root of chaos, hesitated for a moment.

After experiencing everything at the Super High School, he had come to roughly equate Mutants, humans carrying the X-gene, and human civilization.

But Mutants still hold the highest status among them.

Seeing Magneto hesitate, Apocalypse added, "I can also discover superpowers in ordinary people. The majority of people on this Earth carry the X-Gene."

"My master."

The moment the word "master" was uttered, Magneto's Killing Intent vanished. He patted Apocalypse on the shoulder, "Apocalypse—"

"You can just call me Nur. En Shaba Nur, that is your servant's name," Apocalypse quickly added.
