Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

“That’s right, my lord, your will is our direction!” The psionic blade in Psylocke’s hand hummed.

But Apocalypse did not respond immediately.

The force that had previously driven him away vaguely made him feel a long-lost unease.

The last time I had this feeling was two thousand years ago.

And then... he was betrayed by his own subordinates and was sealed in endless darkness for two thousand years!

"No rush." ​​Tianqi ultimately chose the safer approach. He shook his head, his deep gaze sweeping over the four people beside him.

"Before we usher in the new era, we need more strength, we need to liberate more of our people."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to "Magneto" Erik:

“My child, I can feel the burning anger in your heart. Tell me, who is our common enemy?”

Upon hearing this, Eric's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He raised his head and gritted his teeth, uttering a name:

“Stryker…William Stryker!”

"He built an X Lab specifically to research, imprison, and torture our people!"

“Very good.” Apocalypse nodded, a cruel smile spreading across his lips. “Then let his hell become the cradle of our new legion.”

……

Lake Alclay in Canada, General Stryker's secret base.

This place is heavily guarded, a huge fortress built deep underground from cold steel and concrete, where countless mutants he captured for experiments are imprisoned.

But today, this fortress has met its end.

Amidst the violent earthquake, Magneto, enhanced by Apocalypse, hovered in mid-air.

He spread his arms wide, like a conductor in the apocalypse.

Under his will, the entire metal structure of the base groaned, twisted, and deformed!

"Boom—!"

The massive metal wall was torn apart, and the entire underground structure flipped over in the blink of an eye!

General Stryker, who was originally hiding in the deepest part of the earth, looked at the sunlight that appeared in front of him and Magneto in the air with a blank expression.

The decision was made in just 0.01 seconds.

"Activate the sonic weapon! Quickly!"

At Stryker's command, a piercing buzzing sound rang out as several enormous sonic transmitters were aimed at Magneto in mid-air.

The invisible sound waves vibrated the air, enough to rupture the internal organs of any living being instantly.

Eric, who was not wearing a helmet, suddenly shuddered in mid-air, his face contorted in pain.

However, before Stryker could even show a smug smile, Apocalypse calmly raised his hands in the distance.

As he raised his hand, those sophisticated acoustic instruments short-circuited instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the sand on the ground suddenly came to life, transforming into giant yellow pythons that instantly devoured the sonic instruments, along with General Stryker and his soldiers.

The dense yellow sand sealed them tightly within, leaving only grotesque and twisted limbs and torsos.

The battle ended without any suspense.

Apocalypse stepped into the depths of the destroyed base, where countless cages imprisoning mutants opened automatically before him.

Those mutants, who had suffered greatly and whose eyes were numb, knelt down after sensing the same supreme power emanating from Apocalypse, their eyes rekindling the flames of "hope" and "fervor".

Just then, a furious roar, inhuman and raging, came from the deepest part of the base.

A figure shot out like a cannonball, smashing through the heavy alloy gate and bursting out covered in fragments of experimental equipment and blood.

He was a muscular man covered in experimental equipment.

At this moment, his eyes held only the most primal wildness and killing intent.

He gazed at Apocalypse from afar, and with a "whoosh," three gleaming adamantium claws shot out from the backs of his hands!

That's right, this person is none other than the famous "Wolverine" Logan!

At this moment, he was like a wild beast that had been completely enraged, rushing towards the nearest Apocalypse without distinguishing friend from foe.

The angels and the fairy butterfly were about to step forward to stop them, but Apocalypse raised his hand to stop them.

"clang!"

Logan's steel claws landed squarely in front of Apocalypse, but were blocked by an invisible psychic shield.

The adamantium alloy claws gripped the shield, only emitting a string of blinding sparks, without even leaving a white mark.

Apocalypse looked at Logan with great interest.

"Good recovery ability, good bones... good willpower. Apart from his short legs, he has almost no flaws."

He admired Logan as if he were appreciating a work of art, then suddenly extended a finger and gently touched Logan's forehead.

An invisible force surged into Logan's body in an instant, and his ferocious eyes turned even redder.

His wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his muscles grew wildly as a result, becoming exaggeratedly muscular like a demon in the blink of an eye.

Apocalypse sensed the almost inexhaustible self-healing factor within Logan's body. Although his own abilities contained similar effects, this did not prevent him from appreciating this pure and powerful talent.

"The Four Horsemen are a symbol of the end times." Apocalypse's voice echoed in the empty base, "but my legion doesn't mind having one more valiant knight."

He placed one hand on Logan's head, and blue light surged from it.

"From this day forward, you will become my fifth knight, and your name will be—'War'!"

Chapter 384 And that one-handed twisting of the dough~

Logan let out a painful roar as his adamantium skeleton began to resonate with the power of Apocalypse, becoming even more indestructible.

His eyes were completely enveloped by a blue light, which eventually transformed into absolute loyalty and indifference.

A brand new killing weapon, far more terrifying than ever before, was born.

Apocalypse looked with satisfaction at his new masterpiece and the large army of mutants he had liberated and strengthened behind him, then turned his gaze back to distant America.

"Now, it's time to take back what is rightfully mine."

……

The following afternoon.

The sky above Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters suddenly darkened.

It wasn't the gloom of dark clouds obscuring the sun, but a more eerie sense of oppression, as if the sky were completely covered by a huge curtain.

The next moment, the ground began to shake violently.

In the center of the lawn in front of the college, countless sand and stones gathered out of thin air, defying all the laws of physics, and rapidly piled up, extended, and took shape.

In just a few dozen seconds, a pyramid hundreds of meters high, so huge that it could block out the sun, rose from the ground and descended upon this peaceful land.

At the top of the pyramid, Apocalypse stood with his hands behind his back, his blue body appearing like a god or demon in the shadows.

Behind him stood five revamped knights: Storm, who controlled wind and thunder; Psylocke, wielding a psionic blade; Angel, with metallic wings; and Logan, the Wolverine, a war knight whose eyes were covered in blue light and exuded murderous intent.

Most striking of all is Magneto Erik, who is suspended in the center of them.

He wore his signature helmet, which could block telepathy, and his aura surged. His eyes were filled with nothing but cold hatred.

The sudden destruction of the academy naturally alerted Professor X.

Everyone rushed out of the ruins in a panic, and when they saw Apocalypse floating in the sky and his five knights, they all fell silent.

Are you kidding me? With an opponent like that... how are they supposed to fight?!

Professor X looked at Old Wan, who stood respectfully behind Tianqi, and his voice trembled slightly:

"Calm down, Eric! This isn't you! Revenge won't bring you anything, it will only drag you into a deeper abyss!"

"Falling into the abyss?" Magneto let out a cold laugh, a laugh filled with self-mockery and desolation.

“I was swallowed by the abyss long ago, Charles! I was already in there when I watched my wife and daughter being shot to death by those ‘swine’ with arrows!”

He pointed at Apocalypse behind him, his voice suddenly rising: "And he, he gave me the power of revenge! He will lead us to build a world that belongs only to mutants! No more discrimination, no more persecution!"

“That’s not building, that’s destroying!” Charles practically roared. “You’ll destroy everything! Including the peace we’ve fought for!”

“Peace?” Eric thought to himself that he had heard the biggest joke in the world. “You mean peace? You mean we have to wag our tails and beg for human charity like pets? Charles, you’re so naive!”

If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much.

Apocalypse had lost patience. He looked down at Professor X from his high vantage point, as if he were looking at a collectible he was determined to possess.

“My child, I understand your confusion. But only by thoroughly cleaning away the dregs of the old world can a new order be established.”

"Now, merge with me, and your soul will become the beacon of a new era."

As soon as he finished speaking, the five knights transformed into five streaks of light, leaping down from the top of the pyramid and heading straight for the academy's students.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the academy members changed drastically, and the X-Men, consisting of "Beast" Hank, "Mystique" Raven, "Shockwave" Alex, "Cyclops" Scott, and "Nightcrawler" Kurt, immediately rushed forward.

A decisive battle concerning the fate of humanity in this world has begun!

But the situation in the battle was not as tense as those legendary epics.

It even showed a one-sided trend.

The beast's proud brute strength appears utterly laughable in the face of Wolverine's indestructible adamantium claws.

In a single exchange, the beast's chest was slashed open with three deep, bone-revealing wounds, and it was then kicked away, crashing into half of the wall.

Scott's laser eyes were incredibly powerful, but the angel's metal wings blocked them all.

With another gust, countless sharp metal feathers shot out like a torrential rain, forcing Laser Eye and Shockwave Brothers to dodge in a sorry state.

Mystique's form was unpredictable, but it was useless against Psylocke's psionic blades that could sever mental links.

Despite possessing a bug-level teleportation ability, Nightcrawler, a mere novic, can only flee in terror from the storm and lightning created by Storm!

Not to mention, Magneto is also there in the sky, steadily keeping things under control.

He didn't even lift a finger; he simply manipulated all the metal around him, leaving the X-Men and the students who tried to help completely helpless and exhausted.
