Apocalypse Descends (Fifth Update)

"Professor Ororo, what exactly happened?"

On the way to the Mutant School, Hawking asked Storm question.

Storm didn't hide anything and recounted the whole story in detail.

It turned out that all the professors and the Mutants students who stayed at the school were celebrating Christmas together in the lobby.

Suddenly, a wormhole opened, and Magneto appeared with several people, saying that he wanted to take Professor X away and fulfill their original dream together.

One of the strangely dressed blue-skinned Mutants, who claimed to be the God of Mutants, instantly rendered Professor X powerless and knocked him unconscious. Before they could approach, Magneto intervened and stopped them all.

Magneto's abilities at that time were far greater than before, and none of them were able to break through his defenses.

And so, Professor X was brazenly taken into the wormhole and disappeared.

"It's a blink, no, could it be... Apocalypse!"

After listening to Storm's account, Hawking's expression changed again.

When he first heard about the wormhole, he thought it was because Magneto had found Blink, Mutants could open a teleportation wormhole.

But when he heard that a blue-skinned Mutants who claimed to be a god was able to subdue Professor X instantly and that Magneto's powers had increased significantly, he realized he was wrong.

Professor X's Mind Stone abilities are so powerful that only a very few can resist his mental invasion, let alone directly counter it.

Aside from Phoenix, who has had her restrictions lifted, there is only Apocalypse, who is hailed as the Mutant Ancestor.

"This is troublesome."

Upon realizing it was Apocalypse, Hawking became unsettled.

According to what he learned from watching the movie, Apocalypse was the first Mutants to appear five thousand years ago. Because he was able to transfer his consciousness into other Mutants and acquire their abilities and talents, he eventually ruled over humanity.

Later, when her consciousness was transferred to a Mutants with healing and immortality abilities, she was betrayed by the enslaved humans and fell into a deep sleep.

He remembered that the address where he was sleeping was in a city in Egypt, but he didn't have much of an impression of which city it was.

Even if he remembered, he never intended to look for it.

Apocalypse can absorb energy and awaken as soon as it sees sunlight, so why would he bother with that?

Unexpectedly, Magneto found and awakened it.

Having undergone thousands of consciousness transfers, Apocalypse possesses thousands of Mutants abilities, making him incredibly powerful with virtually no weaknesses.

In the movie, it was only through Jean's unleashing of the Phoenix Force that she was finally killed.

To be honest, with his current Combat Power, he's not really confident he can take down Apocalypse.

The Phoenix Force at full power is at the Multiverse Level. His current Combat Power is over 200, but even with the Goku Template, it's less than Combat Power.

It's at most planetary level, not even reaching the level of a celestial father.

Fortunately, today is not only Christmas, but also the night of the full moon. If he waits until night, he can Great Ape Transformation, at which point his Combat Power will increase tenfold, and he may be able to fight Apocalypse.

However, he always had a vague feeling that something was not quite right.

This is different from the movie. In the movie, the middle-aged Magneto was driven to despair after his wife and daughter were killed by humans, and was persuaded by Apocalypse to become one of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse.

The current Magneto is a cunning and shrewd old Magneto. How could he so easily allow Apocalypse, a Mutants who has been around for over five thousand years, to take control of everything?

Furthermore, based on his understanding of Magneto at this age is extremely cautious. If Apocalypse were to capture Professor X, transfer his consciousness into Professor X's body, and thus gain Professor X's abilities to control the entire Earth, he might be in trouble.

He shouldn't have eliminated the X-Men and his powerful form (which allows him to transform into Great Ape) first before taking action; instead, he just brazenly and openly took Professor X away.

Is he not afraid that they will sabotage the Apocalypse during its transfer?

Finally, he didn't believe Magneto was unaware that he could only Great Ape Transformation on a full moon.

Although only a few people, such as Professor X, Wolverine, and Storm, knew this information, Magneto often took Mystique to Mutant School, and Mystique could transform into anyone to extract information.

If you really didn't know, then it just so happens to be on a night with a full moon, isn't that too much of a coincidence?

It can't be because it's Christmas today, can it?

"Never mind, let's save Professor X first."

He definitely couldn't let Apocalypse gain Professor X's abilities. With Apocalypse's powerful telekinetic abilities, once he acquired the professor's powers, he wouldn't need any Cerebro at all.

Even he would find it difficult to resist at that time.

However, this journey is both dangerous and opportune. If we can defeat Apocalypse, we will gain a lot of Justice Points, which may unlock a new Protagonist Template.

Although Apocalypse did not intend to Carnage all of humanity, it did require Magneto to activate the magnetic field to collapse the continental plates, causing everything that had evolved since the Copper Age to return to its primitive state.

The conference room at the Mutant School.

"So, Professor Hank, have you located your position yet?"

As soon as Hawking entered, he immediately asked the beast a question.

The beast shook its head solemnly:

"No, Magneto knows us very well. The tracking device installed on the professor's wheelchair has been destroyed."

"Why did Magneto kidnap Professor X? Is he planning to use Professor X's abilities to exterminate all of humanity again, just like before? And who is that blue-skinned guy who can control Professor X so instantly?!"

At that moment Wolverine angrily slammed his hand on the table.

Given their previous experience, it's hard not to make them think in that direction.

"This time it's probably not just about Magneto. What Professor Ororo told me reminded me of a legend I once stumbled upon."

Do you know anything about the Apocalypse?

Hawking spoke with a change in expression.

At this point, information about the Apocalypse must be shared.

"Apocalypse?"

Everyone looked blank; clearly, none of them had ever heard of this name.

Hawking then quickly recounted all the information he knew about the Apocalypse.

"So this Apocalypse is even more dangerous than Magneto. He can enhance the abilities of Mutants. It's estimated that Magneto and the Mutants under his Brotherhood have all been enhanced. This will be a tough battle!"

"If there are such terrifying Mutants in the world, then they are probably hiding in some city in Egypt right now."

Hank quickly came to a guess.

Since Apocalypse's former base was in Egypt, it's highly likely that any plans it has made will also be carried out Egypt.

"Yes, so we need some help. Let me make a call first!"

Hawking's mind raced, and he immediately took out his phone and dialed Nick Fury's number.

"Director Fury, something terrible has happened! Humanity is doomed!"
