"Don't be nervous, Thor. I just met with your father; we are not enemies."
Apocalypse smiled and waved for Jack to suppress his murderous intent.
The suffocating killing intent subsided, and with Apocalypse's words added to it, Hammer God was less prone to panic.
Above, Heimdall's Bifrost had enveloped Thor, ready to take him away.
As they parted, the Hammer God raised Thor's Mjolnir at Jack, his defiant words drifting from the sky:
"We're not done playing this time. I'll come back to you next time to continue."
Jack raised his eyelids slightly but did not answer.
Thanks to Xu Xiao's blessing and the inspiration from Apocalypse, his strength has increased dramatically.
If Apocalypse hadn't stopped him, the Hammer God of the sky wouldn't have had a chance to escape, let alone say anything to save face.
Don't worry about these guys, we'll have our chance to deal with them later.
Apocalypse liked this subordinate very much. Although he was a young man, he was very intelligent and had a good personality. Most importantly, he was loyal.
Mutants are about to spread throughout the world, and a loyal agent can be entrusted with the plan to achieve this.
"I understand, Lord."
Jack nodded, watching Thor disappear across the sky along with the Bifrost. "Next time he's blind, I'll kill him as a gift to you."
Apocalypse smiled but didn't say anything. The next time would probably be when they actively invaded Asgard, but not now.
Apocalypse took some blue X-Gene serum from his pocket and handed it to Jack.
"This is a new mission, one that can save more people, turn them all into our kind, and prevent this world from dying because of wars waged by ambitious individuals."
"The war should stop because of our people's involvement. Would you be willing to be a pioneer in this cause?"
He talks about ideals to Magneto, but he talks about peace to Jack, a boy who has suffered from the war.
Jack looked at the blue X-Gene and sensed a familiar feeling. After hearing Apocalypse's mission, he nodded emphatically.
"Leave it to me, God. I will end the war and spread more glory to the world."
"That's right, I believe you Jack."
Apocalypse looked at Jack solemnly, "War breeds despair, but it also brings hope."
"Our actions are just; we will select the sparks of a new era from the disasters that humanity has created itself, and let those with resilient qualities become a new race."
"You will travel the world, spreading this glory across the globe during this war that is sweeping the world, awaiting our true rise afterward."
After Apocalypse finished speaking, he emphasized the Chosen Ones, asking Jack to keep an eye out for opportunities to use the X-Gene on them.
Because the flow of time is different in every universe, he didn't know when someone would interfere with his actions, so he could only entrust the task to Jack.
Then, Apocalypse took out the Tesseract, applied a little force, and the mold shattered, revealing the blue gem inside.
The Space Stone, a unique artifact granted authority by the laws of the Marvel Universe, may not seem like anything extraordinary on its own, but it is an incredibly valuable treasure for beings on the multiverse level.
Xu Xiao had once considered acquiring some of it to study the power of the laws, but now he looked down on it.
Although his current strength is not top-tier, he controls multiple worlds that even many powerful figures may not possess, and he can freely study the power of laws at any time.
However, for Apocalypse, this thing still has a very important use.
When the Space Stone was placed between the eyebrows, the skin and flesh fused with it spontaneously, making it appear as if an additional blue eye had appeared.
A surge of spatial power rippled around Apocalypse, while the coordinates of the Marvel Multiverse flickered in his mind. This time, he would not get lost on his journey across worlds again.
Having selected one of the coordinates, Apocalypse once again activated its ability to traverse the world.
This time, he chose a parallel universe that is similar to his own.
A flash of light appeared, and without even a portal appearing, Apocalypse's figure vanished once more.
Jack paused for a moment, holding the few concentrated X-Gene in his hand, then put them away and began to gather the believers who had been scattered by the great battle.
Don't underestimate the power of just a few X-Gene; if used properly, they could turn more than half of the world's population into Mutants.
War is a mirror that reveals true nature, allowing them to develop and select suitable compatriots to join their ranks.
X-Men: Apocalypse World
Xu Xiao sat listlessly at the highest point of Mount Everest, silently waiting for the arrival of his new opponent.
Due to the different time flow rates in different timelines, he has been sitting here for over a year, while in other worlds, six or seven years have already passed.
The timelines of the multiverse are not synchronized, which is one of the reasons why different spacetimelines change due to the intervention of various forces.
"Logically speaking, those guys from the Time Variance Authority, or rather, those guys from the multiverse, should have noticed something amiss, right?"
Xu Xiao's opponents have never been organizations like the Illuminati. The people he can even look at are at least Odin or the Celestials, who are at the Skyfather Level.
Above that are beings who embody rules, such as Galactus, Lord of Order, Master Chaos, Love and Hate, Kronos, and Captain Universe.
These are the entities that Xu Xiao can currently confront directly, and are also those that he suspects might interfere with his ambitions.
As for cosmic incarnations such as the Phoenix Force, Chaos Force, Tiger God, Eternity, Death, and the First Firmament Cosmic Avatar, Xu Xiao could only covet their power and ensure he wouldn't be killed by them; in reality, he had no way to deal with them.
As for those higher up... Xu Xiao had no intention of coveting them, and those beings wouldn't bother with him anyway.
Those are all beings that transcend the multiverse, such as the two supreme opposing forces in the Marvel Universe, OAA and OBA, as well as Jehovah is present in all the heavens and the Fulcrum that represents the manifestation of particle reality.
These beings are already powerful figures like Guangchengzi, whom Xu Xiao had briefly encountered before. If Xu Xiao were to encounter them, he could only pray that the function of the Heavens World-Crossing Gate would work so that he could escape.
"Who could it be? Or are you really going to let an outsider like me successfully pry open a piece of the Marvel Universe pie and extend my tentacles in?"
Xu Xiao sat there deep in thought, his Golden Pupil of Myriad Phenomena his brows constantly analyzing the essence of the Phoenix Force.
Until, a grand consciousness descended upon the Milky Way and locked onto Xu Xiao himself.
Here it comes, the show is about to begin!
