Chapter 76: Confined Underground
Chapter 76: Confined Underground
Qin's eyes were moving. When she first saw Apocalypse, her spiritual power that could see through people's minds captured a hidden storm, like a predator's coveting of its prey. This long-dormant mutant ancestor had a peaceful appearance but undercurrents were surging.
However, before Qin could warn Lu Yifang, she was surprised to see him kneeling on the ground with excitement on his face. When Lu Yifang presented the so-called "gift", Qin was dumbfounded and speechless for a moment.
What was even more bizarre was that a hint of appreciation appeared on Tianqi's face, even though he knew very little about this strange thing. Five thousand years of sleep made his mind hazy when he first woke up, and he could only recognize this seemingly ordinary but exquisite metal product, whose craftsmanship far surpassed the metallurgy he helped the ancients create in the past.
Therefore, Revelation concluded that this must be an extraordinary thing.
"How long have I slept? What is the current situation of my people?" Although Tianqi was quite satisfied with Li Zan, he was proud of his divine status and did not want to show his interest easily.
Lu Yi said with a sad face, "Lord Tianqi, you have been asleep for five thousand years. The mutants here have experienced a period of decline, and the human race with the rise of technology regards us as enemies and oppresses and excludes us."
The implication is that mutants have been bullied, and only if you return to the arena and give us your wisdom and strength can you save us from this dire straits. You are the only hope for mutants like us.
"Even if ordinary foolish people gain power, they are still extremely foolish." After hearing what Lu Yifang said, Tianqi recalled the scene of enslaving primitive humans in the past, and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.
"You don't have to be afraid anymore, because God has returned. Submit to me, be loyal to me, and I will grant you glory. As for those mortals, I will make them realize their own insignificance and show them my power." Apocalypse was full of confidence, and he had the capital to say this.
After all, his power has already reached the level 5. He only needs to devour a powerful pure psychic mutant to become a demigod. At this moment, a qualified psychic mutant from the outside world attracted him. It should be an honor for that person to become one of his. In the past, before he fell asleep, every mutant who was selected regarded this as an honor.
"Your Majesty is right, our God." Lu Yifang nodded solemnly and raised the hundred-jin object in his hand a little higher. "But before that, are you willing to accept our humble gift?"
"Your sincerity is commendable." Tianqi nodded with satisfaction. Since you asked sincerely, he would accept it mercifully. "I allow you to become the new knight."
With his understanding of mutant inheritance, Tianqi saw the potential of Lu Yifang and Qin, and with a little guidance, the two became perfect right-hand men.
Tianqi took the heavy object handed over by Lu Yifang, and finally couldn't hide his curiosity. He looked at it carefully and said, "What secret does this thing have? Tell me."
"This is a unique work of art. Let me reveal its captivating charm to you." Lu Yifang said as he attached a miniature remote control to the giant object. This object originally originated from an airplane, so it is more convenient to use the remote control.
"Why are you retreating?" Seeing Lu Yifang slowly retreating, Tianqi frowned slightly.
"Only someone as noble as you are worthy of appreciating this work of art up close. Everything is ready, please open your eyes and enjoy this explosive art." Knowing Tianqi's expectations, Lu Yifang pressed the button on the remote control.
"Boom--boom!" The high-explosive bomb ignited instantly, and at the same time, dozens of tons of explosives buried in the tomb were also detonated, with a power comparable to that of a small tactical nuclear bomb. The fatal thing was that the explosion occurred in a closed underground.
At this moment, Magneto, Professor X and others witnessed the ground suddenly expand, and the dazzling light turned into a mushroom cloud rising into the sky, and countless gravel and soil were thrown into the air.
The sudden shock wave even destroyed the invisible fighter. Fortunately, Professor X used his mental power to detect the changes underground and everyone took shelter in the cabin in time. Otherwise, this wave of impact alone would be enough to make everyone except Wolverine and the White Queen unconscious.
"Are you okay?" When the dust settled, Lu Yifang's figure appeared among the rocks, and Qin Ze lay safely under him.
"Cough cough, it's better." Qin coughed continuously. The force of the explosion was beyond her expectations. Fortunately, Lu Yifang blocked most of the impact for her, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Apocalypse is dead?" Qin asked, standing up.
"We are not dead yet, so he may not be either." Lu Yifang's expression was solemn. The sensitivity of a level 5 mutant allowed him to sense the other party's aura.
"Traitor!" As soon as Lu Yifang finished speaking, the yellow sand on the surface collapsed, and the broken body of Apocalypse rushed into the sky from the core of the explosion.
Without any warning, the heavy object in his hand turned into deadly explosives. Fortunately, Apocalypse was protected by multiple superpowers and was able to escape instantly when the crisis came, thus avoiding the disaster of being torn to pieces.
"I am your god, your savior, yet you treat me like this? Why?" Tianqi glared at Lu Yifang, the rage in his eyes almost burning him to death.
After the explosion, Apocalypse realized that the memories of the two people in front of him were difficult to read, and the minds of the mutants farther away were blocked by a powerful mental force.
"You still don't understand?" Lu Yifang glared at Tianqi, "Do you remember how those mortals designed to put you into a deep sleep five thousand years ago? If other mutants hadn't helped you in secret, how could a mere mortal have come to this point? Mutants may need a leader, not a god, and certainly not a god who devours superpowers and lives at will."
