I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 549 Ancient Egyptian Past

The First Dynasty of Egypt, 3000 BC.

This is an era undiscovered by modern archaeology. In this era, the great Pharaoh Ramatut unified Upper and Lower Egypt and launched a massive expedition. No one knows where that expedition would go or what enemies it would face.

But somewhat unexpectedly, as everyone knew, Pharaoh's most powerful slave, En-Shaba-Nur, did not set out to defeat the terrible enemy. Instead, he remained in the capital to oversee a special group of prisoners.

“That guy just keeps us here and doesn’t care about us. If we try to escape, he’ll just bring us back.”

The White Queen looked at the gray-skinned mutant in the distance. He seemed to be a special being, because she had also tried to enter the minds of other Egyptians in this era and found that apart from this young man named En Shaba Noor and the Pharaoh, no one in this era possessed superpowers. In other words, he might be the only mutant in this era.

They might even be the earliest mutants.

However, this was an extremely powerful mutant. When the White Queen tried to control him telepathically, he retaliated with even stronger telepathic abilities, almost directly controlling the White Queen. When Magik attempted to escape, he was able to teleport in and grab Magik by the neck, preventing her from teleporting.

He's stronger than Colossus, possesses greater power than Cyclops, and can ignore Iceman's frost—simply put, he can easily overpower this group of mutants. But beyond that, he doesn't do anything; he doesn't even restrict their freedom, allowing them to roam freely throughout Egypt.

Do you think he can be persuaded, Emma?

Cyclops looked at the man uncertainly. En Shaba Noor, judging from his abilities, was undoubtedly the "Apocalypse" who had helped the future Professor X and his allies fight Nimrod in the future of Earth 811. The future Apocalypse might be an enemy, but as far as they knew now, it would become the Pharaoh of ancient Egypt, ruling for nearly a thousand years and establishing a mutant dynasty.

But it's clear that Apocalypse is not yet such a great being.

"So, the problem lies with that damned Ramattot. If even the Apocalypse is this powerful, and still can't defeat Ramattot, then just how strong must Ramattot be..."

Before they could finish speaking, a beam of light appeared around them, and a handsome man in a somewhat familiar red bodysuit appeared before them with a smile, immediately intending to give Cyclops a big hug: "My best friend who has never appeared in my movies! I've finally found you!"

What a mess!

Cyclops shoved the man aside, then couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, sir, who... are you?"

"Wait, don't you recognize me? We were in close contact before!"

What does this have to do with anything?!
The White Queen gave Cyclops a rather unfriendly look: "Scott, I don't know..."

“I promise I’m not interested in men, Emma.” Cyclops glanced helplessly at Apocalypse, who was watching from afar. “Sorry, sir, but I really don’t know you.”

“It’s me! Wade Wilson! Canada’s sexiest man!” The man in front of him, who called himself Wade, looked incredulous. “Your best, best friend! A man with healing abilities who uses adamantium weapons! Not an Australian pretending to be Canadian.”

“Deadpool?” Cyclops was genuinely stunned. “But I thought… I thought your face would look like… a potato that fell into a blender, rolled out, sprouted for a few days, and then had all the sprouts dug out. No offense intended.” “Oh, no offense intended…” Deadpool suddenly realized something, then looked at Cyclops and the others in disbelief. “Wait, you guys still think I’m the old me?”

"What do you mean? The ugly Deadpool of the past is dead?"

"No, no, no, oh my god, they're right. That son of a bitch Kang can't change other times. The Cosmic Cube can only change past history, not past reality."

Realizing this, Deadpool immediately told Cyclops about the Kang Dynasty. After hearing this, Cyclops and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They finally realized why Kang had trapped them here: Kang couldn't modify them here, but they could travel to that most important point in time: the moment before Kang modified reality, to fight against Kang.

That's why they asked Tianqi to guard them.

"But if that's the case, why doesn't Kang just kill us all?"

Faced with the question of laser eyes, the White Queen didn't know why either, but Apocalypse jumped down at this moment. Although he was still a slave and tall, he was obviously malnourished. After listening to all the discussions from a distance, he came to the group and told them that this was an impossible task.

“I don’t know why the Pharaoh doesn’t want to kill you, but I do know that your resistance is futile. The Pharaoh’s power lies not only in his technology, which is far beyond what we have today, but also in his power to control time. Under his power, no one can move freely. You will be frozen in place and sealed away forever.”

"Unfortunately, we know that we have fought against Kang and been stopped by his time."

After Cyclops finished speaking, he looked at Magik: "But we have a way to solve this, don't we, Iliana?"

"I haven't studied magic for very long... I can only guarantee that one person can move within a frozen time."

Apocalypse was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then asked Iliana, whom he hadn't paid much attention to, "You can do it?"

“Magic can do it. I’m… well, an amateur magician. So yes, Kamar-Taj has spells that allow you to move freely in a stopped time. I was a little confused before about why Strange made me learn that, but now it seems this goatee already knew about it.”

Why didn't you say so sooner!

Apocalypse was shocked, but Cyclops answered Iliana's question for her: "I'm sorry, but this is because we didn't know that Ramatot was Kang the Conqueror before. If you were willing to communicate with us and tell us about the Pharaoh earlier, perhaps we could solve this problem sooner."

"...If you can do that, Pharaoh is no match for you."

Apocalypse gritted his teeth and said, "He will be crushed by me."
