Chapter 79 Like a Living Being
Chapter 79 Like a Living Being
Since this thing will not explode, then after getting rid of this threat, Tianqi only needs to deal with the pursuit of two level 5 mutants. He believes that there is still a chance to escape. There is no need to be afraid of no allies to help, because there is nothing to fear in his heart.
Apocalypse, who has rekindled the fire of hope, first fixed his sights on Magneto. This despicable Level 4 mutant had deceived him with false levels and had been pursued for a long time, which was an unforgivable crime.
If he is not eliminated quickly, he will be filled with inner demons in the future. Having made up his mind, Apocalypse immediately leaped out of the aircraft, with a murderous look on his face, and rushed towards Magneto.
Magneto was also stunned when he saw Apocalypse charging forward and being safe and sound except for a big hole in the aircraft.
However, as an experienced mutant on Earth today, his love-hate relationship with Professor X for half a century has sharpened his reaction to lightning. So when he saw Apocalypse rushing towards him, Magneto immediately stretched out his hand and grasped the metal in the aircraft, which seemed to be alive and instantly bound Apocalypse tightly.
"Do you think you can imprison me like this?" Tianqi thought, wanting to tear the metal cage apart. At this moment, a deep red terrifying shock wave suddenly arrived, cutting off half of the plane and completely covering Tianqi.
This is the power of Cyclops Scott. Seeing that Apocalypse is no longer running, Cyclops will not miss the opportunity. Cyclops's superpowers are out of control because his power is too strong. The loss of control of his eyes is quite similar to the loss of control of the Phoenix force in Jean.
Cyclops, who was at full strength, cut through tall buildings like tofu, and demonstrated his power at the Acrylic Lake Hydropower Station. Apocalypse was hit by this powerful attack, and even though he had the ability to absorb energy, he felt it was instantly filled and adjusted in a moment.
However, in this split second, life and death depended on it. Qin turned into a giant flaming phoenix, descended from the sky, and crashed into Tianqi.
"Ah~!" Apocalypse cried out in pain as he was bitten by the Phoenix flames. He forced himself to use the power of Cyclops to knock Jean back. At this time, Apocalypse also felt exhausted.
He had to flee, or he would be killed in the battle. But it was too late, Lu Yifang had quietly arrived behind him.
"I'm sorry, but your chance is over." After Lu Yifang finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Tianqi's throat.
"Crack!" In an instant, Tianqi's neck vertebrae were shattered in Lu Yifang's hands. Fearing that something was wrong, Lu Yifang kicked Tianqi's body away and lifted his still breathing head to the professor.
"Professor, is it okay for me to leave this matter to you?"
"Don't worry." Professor X said with a smile. Although Apocalypse was nearly a demigod and his mental strength surpassed Professor X's, he was seriously injured in this battle, so it was not difficult for Professor X to suppress him.
"The battle here is fierce, his forces will not arrive soon, it is best to leave quickly."
"That's true, but the aircraft is destroyed." Cyclops stood sideways and said without thinking.
"Destroyed or not, what difference does it really make?" Professor X said, and cast his eyes on Magneto who had just landed. "Eric, your driving skills are better than before."
Magneto was silent.
At that time, on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea, far away from Egypt, in a dark room in the ancient Roman city, several black wizards were worshiping a black stone statue.
"Crack~!" Cracks suddenly appeared on the statue, and the cracks spread and suddenly exploded. A woman in a black robe and black hair slowly walked down from the altar.
"Lord Moon Goddess, you have resurrected. We, the priests, have finally been inspired." After a moment of surprise, the wizards all showed ecstasy on their faces.
"Sir, please give us strength."
After a brief moment of confusion, the black-haired woman's eyes sparkled again. She looked at the wizard in front of her who was thirsty for power, with a playful smile on her lips.
"Sir, we are your devout believers and are willing to serve as your arms."
"Then I will grant your wish." After saying this, the shadow behind the black-haired woman stretched out and covered the wizards.
"This is power, I feel... wait, why is it so?" After a moment of pleasure from the surge in power, the wizards were shocked to find that the shadows under their feet were like a swamp, swallowing them up.
"Sir, why has it come to this? Please forgive us, we..." Before he could finish his words, he was swallowed by the shadow.
"Foolish mortals, who have not changed in years, have humbly bent their knees in search of power." The black-haired woman said contemptuously and looked towards the south.
"The distress signal just now should be a revelation. Interesting, that kid has been sleeping for five thousand years, and he is in dire straits as soon as he wakes up."
“The rest of the people didn’t respond either. Are they also in despair? I hope that place still exists. After years of wandering, it’s time to return home. I will be reborn there.” After she finished speaking, the black-haired woman took a step forward, and a portal appeared, swallowing her up.
Outside the underground laboratory of X Academy, Lu Yifang was anxiously wandering, sticking to the door from time to time, trying to peek inside. Behind the door, Tianqi's painful roar could be heard.
Seeing this, Magneto, who was sitting outside the door, patted Lu Yifang on the shoulder with a look of understanding.
A man who has devoted his heart and soul to this matter, and finally waits for the fruit to be born, how can he not be nervous? Magneto has experienced many ups and downs, and is familiar with this situation, but when it comes to mentality, Lu Yifang and Magneto are different. This is because Magneto is the kind of person who walks away after the event, and is used to letting others clean up the mess for him. Fortunately, the professor is tolerant and often smiles and lets bygones be bygones.
Suddenly, all the lights in the laboratory went out, and the orc Henry, dressed in a white robe, walked out.
"Doctor, what's the matter?" Seeing this, Lu Yifang was impatient and went forward to inquire.
"The operation and experiments went smoothly." Henry's worried look disappeared and he smiled.
"How are you all?" Lu Yifang asked again.
"Everyone is fine, mother and baby... cough, although everyone looks tired, they are still in good spirits." Henry pushed the door open and walked in. Professor X, the White Queen and Jean were waiting in the room with tired looks on their faces.
No one dared to underestimate the power of Apocalypse, so three powerful psychics worked together to ensure that there were no omissions during the operation, just in case.
It is better to be safe than sorry. Even if only the skull of Apocalypse is left, there are mysteries hidden under the bald head. It is possible that there will be a second change. The changes of this kind of creature are unpredictable.
In the past, when Qin lost control, the professor almost disintegrated, but then he came back to life and crossed to Japan. Facing the frustrated Wolverine, he shouted: "I can't explain in detail, come and join us!"
"Everyone, please come and see the results together." Professor X looked up and waved to everyone.
Stepping into the room, Lu Yifang saw an incubator in the middle. Inside it was Tianqi's head with his eyes tightly closed, and his neck and head were covered with silk threads.
"The name of Tianqi is just a thing of the past. If you wish to call me that, I will not refuse." A calm voice suddenly came from a speaker on one side, very indifferent.
"Relying on the mental strength of the professor, Qin and the White Queen, we preserved Apocalypse's memory while completely erasing his consciousness. In the future, I will connect it to the academy's mainframe." Orc Henry walked slowly forward and explained.
"Therefore, Tianqi has become a humanoid intelligent computer." Lu Yifang nodded, this move is indeed the best strategy.
"Why not try asking a question?" Henry gestured to Lu Yifang.
"Do you know the origin of mutants?" Lu Yifang stared at Tianqi and asked. He also knew only the basics of this matter, not to mention Magneto and the Professor, who knew nothing at all.
"I know a thing or two." The voice of Apocalypse was still cold.
"In the vast universe, above the rules, there is a mighty god who descended to the mortal world millions of years ago and used humans as experiments, implanting dormant DNA sequences that awakened at the right time, causing benign mutations. This is what we now call the X gene."
At this point, Apocalypse is no longer in its wild beginnings. After the college’s mainframe was connected, its knowledge became more extensive and could be easily integrated into the contemporary era.
"As time went by, hundreds of thousands of years passed, and those carrying the X gene gradually surpassed their own kind. Because God only set up two kinds of genes, each created a brilliant civilization. The self-proclaimed eternal ones and the mutants fought endlessly, competing for the resources of the earth and outer space."
"Twenty thousand years ago, both civilizations were at their peak, and the gods returned. No one knows why, but the civilization of the Mutants was destroyed, and Atlantis fell with it. The Eternals did not prosper because of the destruction of their enemies. On the contrary, internal strife broke out, and the elites fled the Earth, but were stabbed in the back by the Kree. After the war, they suffered heavy losses."
