Run Farther, I'm About to Unleash My Ultimate Move
Rumble!
Apocalypse's severed body fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Russell flapped his wings to disperse the dust, then stepped forward with his longsword upside down, and brought it down on Apocalypse's remains.
Apocalypse's super-fast regeneration is terrifying because his powerful Mind Stone abilities, as well as his ability to reorganize matter and manipulate the body at the molecular level, make his self-healing ability almost Immortal Body.
In other words, if he couldn't be completely wiped out, both physically and mentally, like Phoenix Woman, he could be reborn from the ashes.
Its powerful self-healing ability is unmatched, even by Deadpool's healing factor.
Of course, every life has its limits.
Apocalypse is not invincible. If you exhaust his mental strength and drain his physical energy, you can still work him to death.
It's very difficult to achieve that level of performance; completing it within 300 seconds is unrealistic. All Russell could do was exhaust his physical and mental strength as much as possible.
The fastest and most effective shortcut is to keep killing Apocalypse and then let him heal and revive himself.
It's a bit bloody and cruel, which might make children watching TV uncomfortable, but parents will definitely forgive him because of the wings on his back.
The sword energy surged and surged, sweeping across the land like a raging storm. The energy of heaven and earth intertwined, and the vast sea of sand and sky were cleaved into pieces by the crisscrossing sword light.
Russell sheathed his sword and stood waiting for the Apocalypse be restored.
At first, Apocalypse was filled with rage and fearlessly fought back. He was repeatedly cut down while recovering halfway through his recovery. After paying a bloody price, he finally calmed down.
Why fight over trivial matters? I am a god, and I should be tolerant and magnanimous!
Having seen through Russell's sinister intentions, Apocalypse comforted himself with a few words, and his enormous figure shrank like a bubble, returning to a normal human state.
Upon seeing this, Russell plunged his longsword into the ground, shrank in size, flapped his wings and hovered in mid-air, looking down at Apocalypse from above.
Giant size is fine with giant size, but giant size is absolutely unacceptable with normalcy. What if Apocalypse were to crawl into his stomach...?
"The Old Gods!!"
Apocalypse gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and reorganized matter into an ancient Egyptian sickle-shaped sword that fit his body shape. He leaped into the air and hovered in mid-air, level with Russell.
"I'll finish you off in three minutes." Since they were on different paths, Russell didn't bother to say anything more to Apocalypse. He created a silver-white longsword, flapped its wings, and charged towards him.
"False creations, open your eyes wide and see clearly who is the true master of this world."
Apocalypse roared and flew at supersonic speed, colliding head-on with Russell. With a deafening explosion, the weapons in both of their hands snapped in two.
The powerful shockwave swept wildly in all directions from the two people as the center. From high above, one could see the dust rising up, starting as a point and expanding into a circle, eventually stirring up a vast, dark sandstorm.
With their weapons broken, neither of them attempted to rebuild them, instead opting for hand-to-hand combat with their fists.
Apocalypse was extremely confident in his own strength, and Russell was not afraid either. After his punch missed, Russell flapped his wings and became a blur. When he reappeared, he had already circled behind Apocalypse.
Possessing powerful Mind Stone abilities, Apocalypse himself is a detection Radar, and he could clearly "see" Russell's high-speed movements.
The fierce punch came, the energy boiling, and it stung the skin like a knife. Apocalypse moved his body slightly forward, turned around suddenly and raised his arm to block, while his other hand clenched into a fist and slammed it heavily into Russell's abdomen.
Whoosh!
The steel fist, with its explosive power, slammed down and pierced right through Russell, but Apocalypse showed no joy on his face. He raised his hands high above his head in defense.
A blur of motion was pierced through the front. Russell flipped and leaped onto Apocalypse's head, gathering all his strength in his waist and channeling it into his straight legs. With the help of his Wings of Light, he accelerated and used his legs as blades to slash down with all his might.
Apocalypse groaned, and a powerful force spread from his arm throughout his body. The blow caused his chest to stiffen, and his body briefly became rigid. Russell's brute force knocked him down from the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—
Fists and feet clashed as the two engaged in close combat, unleashing a torrent of immense power from within their bodies.
The air rippled like water, and before it even settled on one side, another vortex burst open on the other. The frenzied attack was as dense as a torrential rain, causing the sand sea to resonate and tremble slowly.
The two moved at high speed and attacked each other frantically, their stamina seemingly inexhaustible. They were having a great time, but the audience was having a hard time.
Previously, the giant body made movement difficult, allowing viewers in front of the television to clearly see the battle. Now, the entire screen is filled with continuous booming sounds and bursts of shockwaves.
No one dared to tell the two to slow down; they could only fill in the blanks with their own imaginations. And let me tell you, this burst of wild imaginations resulted in an incredibly intense fight...
Finally, during one of Russell's quick attacks, Apocalypse keenly sensed his weakness, took a punch, and grabbed Russell's wrist.
Blood trickled from the corner of Apocalypse's mouth as he sneered, "Old Gods, if your power is only this much, then I..."
Halfway through his sentence, Apocalypse became depressed because Russell had somehow created a Desert Eagle in his free hand and stuck it on his forehead.
Bang!
Perhaps because he frequently blew Deadpool's head off, Russell now wielded this move with effortless ease, flowing smoothly and without any hesitation. He could easily integrate any move into it, and like a gazelle hanging by its horns, it left the enemy with no trace.
It's almost become a permanent skill!
Apocalypse enhanced its own density, pressing the bullets into its skin. Russell pulled the trigger repeatedly, hitting the same spot until the entire magazine was empty, finally piercing through Apocalypse's forehead.
Next, they used the same trick again: the Electromagnetic Cannon was fired, shattering half of Apocalypse's body, and the remaining half was cut into small pieces with a sharp sword.
Inside the pyramid on the other side, the Nightcrawler found the entrance and led everyone in one by one through teleportation.
With his supersonic speed, Quicksilver Pietro took the lead, swiftly traversing the complex maze, clearing dead ends one by one, and leading the group straight in. Before long, they found Charles lying on the stone bed.
Seeing that Charles was truly unharmed, Raven finally breathed a sigh of relief. His hair was still intact, so she could report back to Professor X.
"Wait a minute!"
Logan reached out to stop Pietro, who was about to step forward. He sniffed the air and said cautiously, "Watch out for traps. There are other people here, at least three."
Pietro didn't seem to care. "Don't worry, I've already left with the professor before the trap takes effect."
"Speak, "Pietro vanished from his spot in an instant, appearing beside the stone bed in a flash. He helped the sleeping Charles to his feet, supporting the back of his head with one hand.
Snap!
A pair of hands reached out from the darkness under the bed and gripped Pietro's feet tightly.
As we all know, whether it's Marvel or DC, the fastest runners are always caught by much slower enemies.
Don't ask, it was just a moment of carelessness!
The Apocalypse Knight who captured Pietro was a burly black man. The reason he wasn't discovered wasn't due to racial talent, but rather because his Mutants genes gave him a similar ability to become invisible.
Upon closer inspection, the black strongman's abilities include concealing his aura and changing his own color to cleverly blend into his environment.
It looks a bit like a chameleon, or a squid or octopus.
This knight's potential was unleashed by Apocalypse, enhancing all his physical attributes, making his speed, strength, and explosiveness far surpass those of ordinary people.
Unable to break free, Pietro was taken down by several Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-like grappling techniques and passed out without even uttering a sound.
After taking down Pietro, the burly black man flashed away and once again perfectly blended into the environment.
Logan sniffed the air and immediately frowned. He could smell something in the room, but he couldn't pinpoint the other person's location.
Just then, two figures emerged: a tall woman and a muscular man with long, flowing hair. The two stood on either side of the stone bed, sneering at Raven and her group.
"Hey, hey, hey, you... you're not..." Deadpool pointed at the burly man with long, flowing hair and exclaimed in surprise, "I know you, you are... that guy, what are you doing here?"
"..."
Damn it, stop rambling and just say the name!
Logan glared at Deadpool, but before he could say anything, Deadpool jumped over and said, "He's that Sabretooth, your mortal enemy, you idiot. This guy's yours."
As the two were talking, the Nightcrawler flashed by, leaving behind a cloud of blue-black ink-like black mist, and arrived at the stone bed in a flash.
Whoosh!
Before the Nightcrawler could even touch Charles, a flash of cold light startled him, causing him to hastily retreat and disappear into a corner of the room.
A cold glint followed immediately, and the Nightcrawler Teleportation again. Only when he stood on the rooftop did he realize that the person who had ambushed him was a tall woman opposite him, who also possessed the ability to Teleportation.
With a focus on crowd control, Tank, and assassination, the three knights that Apocalypse found on short notice are quite impressive. Apart from being slightly outnumbered, they have almost no flaws.
The X-Men have a numerical advantage, but considering Deadpool is on their team, he should be able to offset one of Logan. The remaining Raven, Erik, and Nightcrawler Wagner would make it a 3v3 situation.
The battle began instantly. Raven and Erik teamed up, wary of the stealth-capable Apocalypse Knights, and moved towards Charles's position.
The odd combination of Logan and Deadpool faced off against Sabretooth. The latter, after being enhanced, held the upper hand in a two-on-one fight, but after he swatted Deadpool away with one claw, he began to go toe-to-toe with Logan.
Deadpool: "Wait, what do you mean by this?"
The Nightcrawler and the woman opposite him teleported in quick succession, supporting their teammates while entering a race to see who could be faster.
"Nightcrawler, have you found Charles?"
Russell's voice suddenly echoed in his mind. Nightcrawler was slightly taken aback, then quickly replied, "Found them, but Apocalypse's men are also there. We're fighting. There are three of them. I remember you said, Mr. Russell, that there might be five of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, so there should be two more enemies who haven't shown up yet."
"Ignore them, quickly take Charles and the others and get out of here. Tell everyone to run far away, I'm about to unleash my ultimate move!"
