Apocalypse Takes Action

East Germany!

Poland is very close to Germany, only a little over an hour's drive away.

Professor X and the others waited on the plane. Russell, Deadpool, Erik landed to search for Caliban, a black market dealer who sold information about Mutants.

He was an acquaintance of Professor X and Logan. In "Wolverine," Logan worked as a driver to earn money, while Caliban took care of the elderly and frail Professor X. The three supported each other for a period of time.

However, that's in the future. Right now, Caliban hasn't fully realized his mistakes yet. He's a money-grubbing information broker who uses his ability to track Mutants to sell firsthand information for huge profits.

The reason for seeking him out was that Professor X was sentimental and didn't want him to continue making mistakes, and also to prevent Apocalypse from using Caliban's abilities to find powerful henchmen.

Why not just find a way to kill Apocalypse directly? Professor X didn't say, Russell didn't care. If the sky falls, Phoenix Woman will hold it up. He can just fish in troubled waters and trigger a few lotteries.

Logan originally wanted to come down and meet Caliban, but Deadpool, in the name of the captain, snatched the spot and prepared to invite Caliban's bodyguard, Psylocke, to join the X-Force.

"Wade, I know you want to invite a few female players, but why Psylocke? Her behavior in the movies wasn't exactly respectable; she actively pledged allegiance to Apocalypse in pursuit of power. Aren't you afraid she might betray you one day?"

When Russell mentioned Psylocke, he thought of her purple swimsuit ninja outfit, a 100% accurate recreation of the manga character, and even closer to a female character from a certain XX Ninja.

"Buddy, you can't discriminate against her just because of her momentary lapse of judgment. I invited her because..."

"She's beautiful!"

"Yeah, you understand me best."

Led by Erik, the two found Caliban's underground lair. Erik had been there before; he had bought his Poland passport from Caliban.

In the dimly lit room, Caliban was counting the day's sales figures when the elevator, which had been sealed off, was suddenly forced open. He frowned, opened a drawer, and took out a pistol.

Upon recognizing Erik, his eye twitched slightly, and he put the pistol back in its place.

Unable to guess Erik's intentions, Caliban was filled with unease and made up his mind to get rid of this plague god, even if it meant losing money.

He smiled warmly and said, "Magneto, it's a great honor to see you again. Are you not used to living in Poland and are planning to move? Actually, someone just came by..."

"Caliban, someone has requested to see you. Come with me!"

Erik's words were concise and to the point, making Caliban's heart pound. He chuckled dryly and said, "Can you tell me who it is? After all, you are Magneto. It's hard to imagine which important figure would make you willingly serve him."

"You'll know when you see him."

"Then... then, can I not see you?"

Erik's tone was very forceful, which made Caliban even more uneasy. Under normal circumstances, such powerful figures hidden behind the scenes are very terrifying, and he didn't want to lose his life.

"Stop talking nonsense, you have no choice. Relax, you're both bald, you'll definitely have something in common when it comes to hair growth products!" Russell drew his Desert Eagle from his waist, slowly pointed it at Caliban, and after a soft click, suddenly swung his arm, pointing into the shadows beside him.

With the infusion of Magic Power, a blade of light extended from the muzzle of the Desert Eagle, stopping the figure charging towards him with a horizontal sword.

The tall woman with long black hair tied back, who attempted to ambush Russell, was Psylocke. She possessed Mind Stone and the ability to transform her telekinesis into various weapons, and like most superheroes or villains, she preferred close combat.

With a light blade held to her neck, Psylocke glanced at Russell in surprise, thinking that she and Russell had the same abilities.

"Russell, don't be like that. Be gentle with girls." Deadpool said with a smile as he leaned closer. "Relax, beautiful, we mean no harm."

These words, spoken by someone else, would have been harmless, but when processed by Deadpool's personality, they instantly became full of malice.

Psylocke narrowed her eyes, and suddenly raised her left hand, which was hidden behind her back. A purple, transparent lightsaber appeared out of thin air and deflected the blue Mana Light Blade on her neck.

The next second...

Boom!!

Russell appeared in front of Psylocke in the blink of an eye, grabbed her by the neck, and slammed her against the wall with a charge.

The immense impact caused Psylocke to feel a sweet taste in her throat, and her breathing stopped, preventing her from spitting out blood. Worse still, the intense pain prevented her from using her abilities.

Russell tightened his grip on Psylocke's neck, lifting her ten centimeters off the ground. "Relax, beautiful, we mean no harm."

"..."

The overwhelming malice made Psylocke dizzy, and after Russell released her grip, she collapsed to the ground, coughing violently.

"Russell, you're too violent."

Deadpool scolded her, then squatted down next to Psylocke, patting her back to help her catch her breath, showing his gentle and considerate side by asking after her.

However, it was all in vain. Psylocke's gaze was fixed on Russell; she was only interested in the strong.

The metal coins on the table floated, all pointing at Caliban. Erik patiently waited until the question was answered, "If there are no further questions, let's set off now."

"No problem!"

The group returned to the plane, their destination once again pointing to Xavier Academy for gifted children in Westchester County, New York.

After they left, another group arrived, consisting of the tall, blue-bodied Apocalypse.

Having slept for 3,600 years, Apocalypse awoke with a fit of morning grumpiness, causing a significant earthquake. As an experienced boss, he valued his image highly and searched far and wide for outstanding lackeys.

It doesn't matter if he's a little weak; he has the ability to enhance the power of others and values talent even more.

In Africa, he encountered the young Storm Ororo, whose ability to control the weather barely caught his eye, and he decisively seduced her into becoming his first knight.

Next, he traveled at a leisurely pace, encountering Mutants along the way who did not meet his expectations. After learning of Caliban's abilities, he came to this place to search for information about powerful Mutants.

The place was deserted, and he got nothing.

Apocalypse is unaware that someone is targeting him and continues to search for exceptionally capable Mutants. However, it is indeed difficult for him to search for them one by one on his own, so he plans to seek help from the authorities.

The abilities and destructive power of Mutants both frighten and covet human governments. Powerful Mutants are imprisoned in certain specially designed prisons, and these places will become the targets of Apocalypse.

Before leaving East Germany, Apocalypse unexpectedly encountered a down-on-his-luck Mutants, 'Angel' Warren Kenneth. Seeing the deep hatred Kenneth harbored for humanity, Apocalypse reluctantly recruited him, as aerial superiority could provide many new tactics.

Russell was unaware that they had timed things differently from Apocalypse, and also unaware that Mystique had patronized Caliban's business before they found Caliban.

The Supernatural Abilities- powerful Caliban generously gifted Mystique a piece of information: real-time news about Erik.

Erik was spotted in Poland and was pursued by the police. He fled with his wife and children.

Unable to find Erik, Raven, in her desperation, had Nightcrawler teleport her repeatedly, arriving at the Mutant Academy the following morning.

What a coincidence!

Today, a New York newspaper published a gossip story: a photo of a male version of Magneto doing Silly Bird dance.

When Charles saw this news, he was completely shocked. In his mind, even if Erik had lost all his morals, he would never do something so crazy.

Upon hearing the news from Raven, his mind immediately went blank: his best friend was in grave danger, his wife and daughter had been captured by the enemy, and Erik was being held hostage.

Charles feared that Erik might use his powers to harm others and repeat his old mistakes, so he immediately used Cerebro to search for his whereabouts.

On the plane, Erik suddenly opened his eyes and said to Professor X, "Charles, Charles is contacting me. He says I need help."

"Ignore him!" Professor X smiled slightly and severed the mental connection between the two.

Erik's expression darkened. "Charles, you need to give me an explanation. Charles told me that the photos of me dancing went viral across America. What does that mean?"

"How would I know? Why don't you ask Russell?"
