X-Men: Apocalypse World
Egypt has built several large, pyramid-shaped energy particle cannons, not based on technology but on supernatural abilities.
In the Marvel Universe, science, magic, superpowers, witchcraft, and fel energy are all active, with various different laws of power intertwined, allowing different powers to achieve the same goal.
The 13 apostles each guarded a pyramid, silently awaiting the start of the war.
A subtle spatial rhythm resonated in a corner of the Earth, instantly energizing all 13 apostles.
"They're here!"
Far away in the America desert, giant teleportation rings lit up, followed by the appearance of superheroes.
Iron Man's armored legions, spewing flames, flew out of the portal in an orderly fashion, while the Valkyrie Guard of Asgard marched out, singing an ancient Norway war song.
There were also several massive outer space fleets, weapons that some idiot had borrowed from Cosmic Ravagers.
Various high-tech weapons and super soldiers emerged one after another, all filled with fighting spirit.
Initiator of the war: Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme of the Universe 171)
War Strategists: Earth-616 Iron Man, Mister Fantastic
Vanguard: Hulk Legion and Iron Legion
Task Force: Captain Marvel, Thor, X-Men
Ultimate Aces: Phoenix, Scarlet Witch, Sentry
"This is it! I can already sense the malevolence of the Apocalypse!" Strange stopped the magic and looked towards Egypt.
What started as a defensive battle has unexpectedly escalated into a full-blown brawl.
What started as Professor X's restrictions on the spread of Mutants has now become intertwined with the hatred stemming from the deaths of his comrades.
"Don't overthink it. Since he's wrong, then we'll clean up the mess."
Captain Marvel, with her blonde hair and round face, remained remarkably calm, displaying her own American-style standards of judgment in such matters.
What I love is justice, and what I protect is justice. Since they are the enemies of the Avengers, the X-Men, and even the infamous Sorcerer Supreme, it doesn't matter whether they are truly evil.
She came here mostly out of boredom and to find some amusement.
"Since the variables in the multiverse arise because of him, we need to correct this source. I really don't like those mutated guys."
Tony Stark, also dressed in his armor, shared his opinion.
Other so-called superheroes share the same attitude.
Most of them are human, or races closely related to humans, and it is impossible for them to allow a new race to compete with humans for resources.
There is never any such thing as justice or evil in this world; it's more about different perspectives.
Although Apocalypse spread the X-Gene to other worlds because of Xu Xiao's plan, even the original Apocalypse only wanted Mutants to regain their dominant position.
When people have different stances, they will only speak for their own interests, including these so-called upright people.
"Let's go, everyone. Right or wrong, we've already begun."
Several Sorcerer Supreme together cast a portal, opening a passage to Egypt.
Eerie crimson clouds floated in the Cairo sky, and the tops of the pyramids began to rapidly recharge, drawing power from the universe.
In the distorted light, scorching energy rapidly gathers, like tiny suns.
Apocalypse floats among these suns, sensing the changes in space.
A portal lit up in Egypt, and the first to fly out were all sorts of unmanned Iron Man Armor.
"You have finally arrived." Apocalypse's voice echoed like an ancient resounding melody, marking the beginning of the war.
The next second, one of the suns at the top of the pyramid shot out rapidly, unleashing endless heat and energy.
The powerful energy burst caused the particles to become disordered, creating a particle storm even before it hit the target.
The Iron Legion system issued a piercing alarm. "Energy readings exceed measurement range! Estimating survival rate for this energy storm!"
"Estimation complete, the survival rate of the advance troops is less than 0.00172%."
The next instant, the sun exploded in front of the portal.
The earth vaporized, the air was burned away, and various rays and particle streams scattered. The seemingly perfectly orderly vanguard of the Iron Legion vanished instantly without any resistance.
The powerful energy storm even blasted through the portal to the other side, engulfing some of the steel mechs that were waiting in line.
"Stop!!" Tony Stark roared, halting the advance of the Iron Legion.
At the same time, the Sorcerer Supreme also stopped the portal spell, severing the channel through which the energy was flowing.
"That guy's already prepared over there; the portal isn't safe at all!"
Everyone felt that power, and some people with Superman physical abilities even saw a dazzling light rising in the Northern Hemisphere with their naked eyes.
That was the afterglow of a shaped charge cannon explosion, far more powerful and impressive than nuclear weapons!
"Does that bastard have no regard for the lives on this planet? If this kind of attack happens a few more times, the planet will suffer irreparable damage."
Some people are shouting, trying to condemn Apocalypse's ruthlessness from a moral high ground.
He forgot that if their mission succeeded, they would also destroy the planet inhabited by Mutants, erasing their mistakes.
If they were upright, doing this would be like cleaning up the errors in the development of the universe; if others did it, they would be villains destroying the world.
"Since the portal won't work for a surprise attack, let's just go for a direct assault!"
"We're advancing from land, sea, and air. We're not ordinary people, so our speed won't be slow no matter what."
Tony Stark, the war coordinator, and Mister Fantastic exchanged a glance; neither of the two highly intelligent individuals could think of a better solution.
The original plan was to launch a surprise attack using the teleportation portal and the unmanned Iron Legion, while also gathering intelligence. However, it now appears that this approach is no longer feasible.
But it's alright, since they don't have any ordinary people here anyway, and they have several Marauder Ravagers warships borrowed by Star-Lord, enough to carry those who can't fly to the battlefield.
But before they could even rejoice, a strong sense of crisis enveloped everyone present.
Tens of thousands of meters above the ground, a formation of strategic bombers had reached their destination.
With a command given, these human armed forces, who had been on standby in the sky 24 hours a day, dropped multiple nuclear bombs on the ground.
The reason Apocalypse chose this universe as its battlefield is because this universe is now entirely Mutants.
All he had to do was spread the news that outsiders were about to invade and destroy the world, and then brainwash them by God of Mutants. It would be easy to gather the power of the entire world together.
They thought they were only fighting against the Apocalypse, but in reality, they were fighting against the entire world!
