After slightly adapting to the sudden change in vision, the four of them looked at the surrounding environment curiously.
Alpine valleys, desert sand, bright sunshine, scarce green...
What appeared in front of them was such a picture, desolate and dead.
"Is this the environment of First Heaven? I didn't feel anything last time, hell, my skin will become rough!"
Women's focus is often very strange, and the same goes for agent Natasha. After standing here for a while, everyone felt a rush of heat, but only Natasha complained directly.
"This place is so desolate, what is the test method, how to survive in the wilderness?"
As the person with the best relationship with Apocalypse here, Coulson directly raised the issues they were most concerned about.
"In a sense, Coulson, what you said is right."
"Although I said that I want more people to enter the Nine Heavens I opened and set foot on Path to Godhood, but what I want is a real god who has been tempered, not a person with great power."
Seeing that their attention was attracted, Apocalypse continued, "So I will design a trial suitable for each level for each level!"
"And for this First Heaven, the test requirement I designed is that the willpower is strong enough."
Looking at the barren land in front of them, several people were thoughtful.
"You should all know that I collected information about Captain America as the power that can be obtained here."
"So my positioning of power in this world is to develop my own potential."
"The method I designed to gain strength is very easy, and there is no pain when Captain America injects the serum."
"But in this way, the power obtained too easily will only make people not cherish it, and the possibility of villains and cannon fodder is very high. This is unacceptable to me."
"So I specially designed a First Heaven that can temper the will. Only those with strong willpower can gain strength and screen out those who can truly take the Path to Godhood!"
Apocalypse's words answered several people's doubts, and also made Nick Fury, who had been worried, feel relieved.
To say that the willpower is strong, can ordinary people meet the requirements?
Obviously only a truly mentally strong person can possess sufficient willpower.
So he had been worried that countless powerful villains would appear after Li Ge opened Nine Heavens, but it never happened.
Even if there are more supervillains with strong willpower than there are now, won't there also be more superheroes?
Nick Fury just thought about it in his mind and determined that there will only be more and more superheroes in the future. After all, if you don't have a serious brain disease, you won't become a super villain in this era where Transcendent ers are everywhere.
So the biggest possibility in the future is that there will be more and more super villains, but superheroes can go to the extent of beating them up in groups.
"Go ahead, I can only give you two hints, cactus, and mood changes."
"Come on, I'm optimistic about you!"
After explaining everything clearly, Apocalypse finally said these two sentences, and then his body gradually disappeared under the confused expressions of several people.
A few people were just surprised, but their qualities as top agents made them start thinking about ways to complete the trial.
And what about Apocalypse?
Of course, Intangibility Invisibility was turned on again, sitting on his throne, floating above the heads of several people.
As a person who loved watching wilderness survival programs in his previous life, he would certainly not miss this reality version of wilderness survival that he created.
After a brief discussion, a few people decided to explore the surrounding environment first.
Because Apocalypse had no idea of opening a backdoor for them from the beginning, they followed Apocalypse in with only the weapons they often used.
Now, whether it is for a trial or other things, they need to solve the problem of water and food first. After all, the bright sunshine will not show mercy.
The scene in front of me is almost uniformly desolate, with hills and hills beyond, and canyons and canyons out. Fortunately, there is not much wind here.
After their observation, along the way, there was no trace of any water source, and no living creatures could be seen. Only the cacti that appeared from time to time showed that there was still some life here.
In order to reduce the loss of body water, several people have been walking along the bottom of hills or canyons.
These places have precious shade!
The thick-soled combat boots rubbed against the hot sand and gravel, making a rustling sound. The sunlight coming from the sky mercilessly poured out enough light and heat without any transfer or weakening.
Not even half a day had passed before several people began to show obvious beads of sweat on their faces, and they looked a little tired.
No one spoke, in order to save energy and water.
Nick Fury was walking in the front. His black leather coat wasn't very cool at this time. He just felt hot and stuffy. His bald head and skin were moist and oily.
Coulson walked side by side with him, his high hairline unable to cover the sweat on his forehead.
Natasha and Barton were a few steps behind them, vigilant about their surroundings.
Although they were in good health, beads of sweat still appeared on their cheeks.
They have now begun to feel that the strong willpower mentioned by Apocalypse is really a requirement that is not easy to achieve.
Because they not only felt the heat that was not inferior to that in the desert, but also had an inexplicable restlessness that made them always want to escape.
"Do you feel it? That urge to escape from here!"
Because of his Tyrant ability, Coulson's perception ability is the most powerful among them. He wiped away the sweat beads on his brow with his fingers and said solemnly to several people while walking.
"Coulson, you felt it too, I thought it was just my illusion."
The person who answered was Natasha. Her long hair, which was originally loose, was pulled into a ponytail for better heat dissipation.
"It seems that Apocalypse didn't make things clear. Not only was the environment harsh, but it was also psychologically oppressive, and he had to train his will wholeheartedly."
"What a great filtering mechanism!"
Due to the intense heat of the environment, Nick Fury's voice was a little dry, but a light flashed deep in his eyes, and his tone of admiration was laced with recognition.
Now he was completely relieved. Even if everyone in the world joined the trial, how many people would be able to persevere?
"This is a psychological test!"
Barton's mouth corners slightly rose, his fighting power did not come out of thin air.
"... Director, look what that is, there is a person!"
After rounding another hill, a flat wasteland spread out before our eyes.
Coulson suddenly raised his hand to stop Nick Fury, pointing to a location not far away near the bottom of a cliff.
Several people looked along Coulson's fingers and saw a figure squatting there doing something unknown.
As if they heard the noise, the figure turned its head sharply, and a look of fierce and embarrassed face immediately came into their eyes.
"Grant, Ward?!"
