In a small town in Eastern Europe, the once-famous Magneto, Erik, is packing his bags.

Due to Apocalypse's resurrection, he once again revealed his ability to save his colleagues, and now he had no choice but to pack his belongings and leave the small town where he had lived for so long with his family.

"Honey, Nina isn't in the room."

Magneto's wife, Magda, an ordinary Eastern European woman, rushed into the house and delivered some alarming news.

Although she didn't know why her husband was in such a hurry to leave, she was still willing to respect his decision and follow him. However, the sudden disappearance of their beloved child was worrying.

"Don't worry, darling, I'll go find her."

Upon hearing his wife's words, Magneto felt a pang of unease and a sense of foreboding. He immediately got up to search for her.

Soon, guided by fate, the couple encountered local police in the forest outside their house, where their beloved daughter was being held hostage.

As things stand, Magneto compromises for his daughter's sake. The child doesn't believe her father is a bad guy, and in a moment of emotional distress, she awakens her superpowers.

The birds in the forest sensed the little girl Nina's emotions and began to swoop down and peck at the police officers. Then, one of them suddenly let go of their grip.

'Pfft!'

The arrow struck two birds with one stone, piercing both the girl and her mother who was holding her.

No!! Darling, Nina!

Magneto ran back to his wife and daughter in anguish, feeling their life force gradually slipping away, and his mind was on the verge of collapse.

He had already surrendered! He had clearly let go of his hatred for humanity and was ready to live a peaceful life, so why wouldn't these people let him go?

Magneto was heartbroken; his reason had been thrown off balance by the onslaught of anger.

"If you keep holding them like that, they really won't survive."

A slightly hoarse voice appeared, and then Apocalypse's tall figure walked out from the spatial passage.

"Who are you?"

When Magneto saw Apocalypse appear, he could tell from the other's face and aura that he was one of his kind.

"A person aspiring to create a world of Mutants, I think you need some help."

Apocalypse pointed his palm at Nina and the other woman, and the arrows that had pierced their bodies were instantly broken down into molecules and disappeared.

When the police officers saw the newly appeared Mutants, their expressions changed drastically, and they all drew their weapons.

"Leave this to me, I'll heal them. You take care of this trash."

Apocalypse took his wife and daughter directly from Magneto's arms and casually pointed at the police officers who were about to attack.

For no apparent reason, Magneto felt that the person in front of him was trustworthy, and subsequently followed the other person's instructions.

With a simple wave of his hand, his keychain and other metal objects flew up, deflecting the wooden arrows shot from the opposite side.

Out of consideration for their past relationship, Magneto did not kill them; these were all familiar faces from the small town.

"What are you hesitating for? They almost killed your beloved just now."

Apocalypse, standing nearby, had green light emanating from his palm, providing healing, but he was also verbally reminding the opponent to finish off the target.

When Magneto saw his wife and daughter still receiving treatment, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, he killed all the police officers one by one.

As the police officers fell, Apocalypse accelerated the treatment he had deliberately slowed down, and in an instant, Magneto's wife and daughter were completely healed.

Watching Magneto hug his wife and daughter and comfort them as they wept, Apocalypse remained silent, waiting for them to finish venting their emotions.

Magneto wasn't the kind of person who acted without thinking. He knew that someone as special as himself had come to him and even saved his wife and daughter, so he definitely knew that Old Wan had ulterior motives.

Soon, Magneto comforted his wife and daughter, then seemingly unintentionally shielded them behind him, facing the Apocalypse himself.

"Thank you for saving my beloved. I owe you a favor, my fellow human!"

"Don't be so nervous. I mean you no harm, and I mean them no harm either." Apocalypse forced a smile onto his gray face and greeted Nina, who was peeking out from beside Magneto's feet.

The little girl remembered that this person had healed her wound, smiled sweetly, and then pulled her head back inside.

"We are the same kind of people, and I don't want to see such tragedies happen again. But this isn't the place to talk. Should we go somewhere else?"

Apocalypse Teuchi a purple spatial passage, and stepped inside.

Magneto, holding his wife and daughter's hands, hesitated for a moment before stepping inside.

Soon, the two arrived in Egypt, Magneto was stunned when he saw the magnificent newly built pyramids.

"Daddy, the pyramids!" exclaimed Nina, pointing to the mind-transfer device created by Apocalypse.

But from its appearance, it is definitely an eye-catching building.

"I think we can let them go out and see the sights. We can discuss some things ourselves. What do you think, Erik?"

Apocalypse gestured for Magneto to enter the mind-transformation device.

After thinking about it, Magneto finally nodded in agreement.

"Honey, take Nina for a walk around the neighborhood, I'll be right back."

Magneto's wife understood her husband's predicament, especially after experiencing death by being pierced by a human arrow. She also understood the situation of her family.

"Go ahead, Nina and I will wait for you here."

Having received his wife's reply, Magneto followed Apocalypse step by step into the interior of the mind conversion device.

As he walked, Apocalypse released invisible spiritual fluctuations and spoke:

"How does it feel to be targeted after hiding in the human world for so long?"

Magneto didn't speak, he just nodded.

"This world has always been like this: xenophobic, and the fighting never stops."

"The conflict between humans and Mutants isn't actually a big problem. Even without racial conflict, humans are constantly fighting among themselves."

"Those in the west fight those in the east, those in the south, the white people fight those with black skin, those with yellow skin, and they even often fight amongst themselves."

"I admire you, Erik. You are a hero who is willing to stand up for your fellow race, and despite some traitors who have been standing in your way, you have done well."

Apocalypse's words reminded Magneto of his ambitions.

As a young man, after awakening his powers, he resolved to work for the future of Mutants. Although he ultimately failed and parted ways with his like-minded friends, this ideal remained deeply buried in his heart.

At this moment, Apocalypse's words awakened the ideals in his heart. Looking at Apocalypse, Magneto began bluntly:

To put it bluntly, what do you want to do? And what do I need to do?

I enjoy dealing with intelligent people.

Apocalypse smiled and then laid out his entire plan, including the tasks Magneto needed to perform.

Magneto was initially shocked, but eventually nodded in agreement.
