I Am a Heroic Spirit

These hundreds of thousands of people were suppressed in less than ten minutes.

On the other side, the leader of the Guards rushed directly to the platform and ran up in a few steps. Eve and O'Connor had no time to leave and were caught.

"Hi, long time no see." O'Connor greeted the leader of the guards with a stiff smile.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, Eve, O'Connor, my former comrade-in-arms. You have gone too far this time. As relatives of the king, you have slandered the king's reputation in public. You must know that the gods cannot be questioned, and the king cannot be insulted. Even if you are relatives of the king, you must be punished this time." The leader of the Guards scolded loudly, his words full of uncontrollable anger, glaring at Eve, which made Eve's heart tremble and couldn't help but take a step back.

O'Connor supported Eve from behind with a wry smile on his face. He said that he shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess, and now he was caught by an old acquaintance.

"I just think that people don't need a master, even if that master is a god. There's a good saying in the East: there are no gods or Buddhas, and everyone has to rely on themselves to make the decision. That's how Egypt should be. If there's one more ruler and Egypt becomes a feudal dynasty again, it's a regression of society." Eve retorted unyieldingly.

"It's ridiculous. The land of Egypt originally belonged to the great God-King. They live on the land of the God-King, bathing in the glory of the God-King, and enjoying the gifts of the God-King. Yet they still want to rebel against His Majesty the God-King!" The leader of the guards sneered disdainfully.

"No need to say more." A hand pressed down on Eve, preventing her from speaking any further.

The three people on the platform looked over and saw Mr. En, who was hosting the speech, with an expression they had never seen before. He said domineeringly, "Go back and tell your God King that since this is a divine word, return to heaven. The earth is the land of mankind."

As soon as Mr. En finished speaking, more than ten people in the audience suddenly jumped up and knocked down all the guards in just five seconds. Even the two hot sand sphinxes were somehow blown away, crashing through several walls, and disappeared without a trace.

"Who are you?!" The leader of the Guards asked in astonishment upon seeing this sudden change in the situation. He subconsciously drew out his scimitar and assumed a fighting stance.

O'Connor and Eve were also very surprised. They had never expected that this Egyptian historian would have so many mutant subordinates.

"I am En Sabah Nur, born in the First Dynasty of Egypt in 3000 BC. I am the earliest mutant and the ancestor of all mutants. I came to bring freedom and democracy to the Egyptians." Mr. En said proudly, and then he waved his arm. The leader of the guards could not control his body, and the scimitar in his hand flew out. Even with the protection of La II, the leader of the guards did not have the power to resist Mr. En.

That's right, the so-called Mr. En is none other than Apocalypse, the original mutant who awakened from the Pyramid of Hu's Father. The mutants below are the X-Men, who were tricked by Apocalypse into serving as his thugs, and his Four Horsemen.

Chapter 295 Return to the latest chapter list next chapter

The story began five days ago, when Tianqi had just woken up from the Hufu Pyramid, and was then hit by a sun shower from La Er, who happened to be flying over the Hufu Pyramid while inspecting his own country.

"You, a glimmering person lacking the spirit of a king, dare to occupy the king's tomb. You sinner who blasphemes the king, I will burn you to ashes right here with the sun's rays!"

As La Er said this, he controlled the Sun Boat to rain down light, burning Hu Fu's Pyramid, most of Apocalypse's body, and those who resurrected Apocalypse to ashes.

Apocalypse is very strong, not just ordinary strong. As the oldest ancestor of mutants, Apocalypse possesses many mutant abilities. Even the top-level heroes cannot defeat Apocalypse if they don't fight seriously.

Even if they really fight, unless they have a flash-level heroic spirit like the Golden Three Targets, the ordinary top group may not be able to defeat Apocalypse, or they may defeat Apocalypse but not be able to kill him.

Because Apocalypse has many abilities, and each one is very powerful.

First, the ability to permanently deprive, possess, and enhance the mutant abilities of any mutant it comes into contact with at the genetic level. Second, super strength comparable to Juggernaut and the Hulk. Third, resistance to telepathic abilities. Fourth, exceptional mind control, which no mutant, save Professor X and Jean in her Phoenix form, can resist. Fifth, resistance to fire, requiring no air to survive, and remaining unscathed even from direct attacks on the nervous system. Sixth, a shield powerful enough to circumvent Magneto's attacks. Seventh, teleportation abilities exceeding those of Blue Devil. Eighth, rapid healing abilities exceeding those of Wolverine. Ninth, the ability to resurrect and achieve immortality. Tenth, the ability to control molecules. Eleventh, the ability to control objects with one's mind. Twelfth, the ability to control and transform various elements. Thirteenth, reaction speed exceeding that of Quicksilver.

Every time Apocalypse reincarnates, he gains one more ability. That is to say, these thirteen abilities are less than one tenth of his total abilities. Even so, if Magneto, Cyclops, Storm, and Professor X had not tried their best to hold Apocalypse back, it would not have been so easy for Jean in the Phoenix form to kill Apocalypse.

However, although Apocalypse's physical defense was strong, it could not compare with La Er's Noble Phantasm attack, especially since Apocalypse had just been resurrected at that time. Before he could react to what was happening, La Er attacked him directly without even opening his defense shield. He was almost blown to pieces.

If it weren't for his life-saving abilities such as instant teleportation and rapid recovery, Apocalypse would have died again just after being resurrected.

After the Pyramid of Khufu was razed to the ground, although Rasulullah knew that Apocalypse was not dead, he had no way to find him, so he left directly and continued to patrol his territory.

On the other hand, the blow dealt to Apocalypse was like a warning from this era, which made him put away his arrogance and start to be wary of this world.

After gathering intelligence and gaining foresight, Tianqi believed that he might not be able to avenge his hatred by himself. The seemingly unlimited number of sphinxes alone was enough to hold him back.

Although he wanted to change into a better body first and then control the strongest humans to fight against Ra Er, looking at Ra Er's appearance, it was obvious that he would not let him perform the transformation ceremony in the pyramid.

In order to defeat Ra's Er and for revenge, Apocalypse used his brain, which had not been used for thousands of years, and came up with a good plan.

First, as usual, he found a group of Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and used their abilities to strengthen and transform them. Then Apocalypse found Professor X, the body he had originally reserved, and deceived him.

Apocalypse told Professor X that he was the ancestor of all mutants and was born in ancient Egypt. He had recently awakened from a deep sleep, but found that Egypt was forcibly ruled by a dictator. The dictator was very powerful and would go on to rule the world. He wanted to stop him, but he was no match for him, so he wanted to ask his kind for help.

Because Professor X's psychic abilities were weaker than Apocalypse's, he was unable to find Apocalypse's flaws and loopholes.

Moreover, because of Jean's telepathy a few days ago, Apocalypse's language skills, and the information and memories sent by his old lover Maura that were modified by Apocalypse, Professor X had a preconceived notion that Maura was the terrifying existence in Jean's telepathy that was about to bring about the end of the world.

Even if it wasn't true, it didn't matter. It was true that Rasul II had forcefully seized Egypt's sovereignty from the Egyptian government and ruled Egypt as a god and pharaoh. Just a few days ago, the Egyptian government had asked him for help, but he hadn't agreed because of Eric's situation.

Now Eric seems to be fine, so he can go to liberate Egypt with Apocalypse for justice.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Rasulullah II, who now rules Egypt, is the archetypal villain. As the righteous, even if Apocalypse doesn't try to trick them, they'll still have to go to Egypt and confront Rasulullah II after resolving the Eric issue and helping the US and France win the war. Now, the order is simply reversed.

Later, Tianqi went to the United States again and met Eve and O'Connor who were trapped there. He told them that the pharaoh who ruled at that time was Eve's brother in her previous life, Ramses II, the incarnation of Ra and the king of kings. He wanted to ask Eve for help to persuade the king.

Eve's temperament has never changed. When she heard what Apocalypse said, she immediately agreed. O'Connor had no choice but to follow Eve to Egypt to give speeches and marches to protest against Rasul.

Ra II, who was in the temple, quickly noticed what was happening in Cairo and immediately sent out his troops. Things subsequently developed as they are now. Because there were only two hot sand sphinxes and the mutants lurking in the crowd suddenly erupted, the army that came to suppress was directly controlled.

At this moment, a mirror suddenly appeared on the platform.

The mirror is made of metal. Although it is in the ancient Egyptian style, the mirror surface is extremely delicate and smooth, just like a modern handicraft. The more exquisitely crafted mirror handles are engraved with divine symbols, the head of the god Hathor, the body of the god Bes, and the sun ring of the sun god Ra, which inexplicably exudes a noble atmosphere.

"What is that? It's obviously metal, why can't I control it?" Magneto below controlled the magnetic force and flew to the platform. His eyes fell on the ancient and luxurious mirror with a frown. He could feel the material of the mirror, but when he wanted to control it, he found that the mirror was not under control.

"That is the power of God." Apocalypse said solemnly. Having lived from the First Dynasty of Egypt to the present, Apocalypse is very familiar with the power of the Egyptian gods.

He had read the Golden Book of the Sun and the Black Book of the Dead. The divine power on this mirror was the same as that in the two magic books. It also possessed the power of Ra, the sun god, and Anubis, the god of the dead.

This is also the power possessed by the Pharaoh. As the son of the sun god Amon-Ra, he possesses the power of the sun. Since he eventually entered the underworld and now returned from the underworld, it is reasonable for him to possess the power of the god of death.

The mirror surface rippled like the surface of a lake where a stone had fallen into it, and the Pharaoh sitting on the throne appeared in the mirror.

"It's you, Ramses II. You can't sit still anymore?" Apocalypse said in a deep voice, looking at the Pharaoh in the mirror.

"The Man of Glimmering Light, it turns out to be you. You luckily escaped from the king's clutches. Instead of hiding in the sewers like a rat, you're stirring up trouble with my people like a fox. Have you already grown disgusted with this world?"

The Pharaoh, sitting on the throne, looked majestically at Apocalypse outside the mirror, with a hint of anger in his words.

"Don't say that, Pharaoh. I'm just obeying the will of the people. Look, whether it's the President, the Secretary of State, or your sister, they all come here with the ideas of democracy and freedom." Apocalypse looked righteous and waved his hand while speaking. Several men and women quickly ran up from below. Upon closer inspection, they were all high-ranking officials of the Egyptian government.

The Pharaoh in the mirror coldly glanced at the humans who appeared within the range of the mirror, with a disdainful sneer on his face.

"The Pharaoh can only be the ruler of the earth, so everything he controls is of equal value, without distinction of superiority or inferiority."

"All people on this land are equal, and naturally free and democratic. The ignorant and lightless people are trying to stand above my people and dominate them. For their disgusting ambitions, they are rebelling against the king. I will never allow this."

"To deceive my people, my sister, is an even more unforgivable crime."

"Choose your choice. Do you want to be devoured by a divine beast, or be reduced to ashes in the sun's rays?"

It was like a solemn and absolute declaration coming from heaven.

It was like a supreme and cruel scorn coming from the underworld.

The Pharaoh with the eyes of the sun spoke words of contempt and anger, his eyes emitting sharp gazes, and his extremely murderous gaze passed through the mirror and fell on the platform.

The murderous intent coming from the gaze, like a physical shock, was unbearable for the people on the platform. A number of high-ranking Egyptian government officials had already passed out. No, not just unconscious, they were not even magicians. Their physical fitness was even weaker than that of ordinary people due to their hedonistic lives. Being stared at by the king with murderous eyes, it seemed that they would not be able to wake up.

Although O'Connor and Eve, who were blessed by the Egyptian gods, felt a little better, they fainted without any resistance, but they did not leave any sequelae.

Magneto couldn't help but take a step back, lowering his head. Is this the majesty of a king? So powerful, yet just a glance made it impossible to meet his gaze.

"Humph!"

The Pharaoh was even more disdainful. He was exercising Tut's power. How could anything be hidden from him? He was just a foolish person who was courting power and dared to appear before the king.

The Glorious Grand Complex Temple is the garden of the gods. Egypt has as many gods as the Pharaoh, as the king of gods, can exercise as many mysteries. How could they possibly hide from him what Apocalypse and others were planning?

Some politicians, unable to maintain their positions due to the Pharaoh's arrival, were reduced from bureaucrats who dominated the people to ordinary civilians. The powerless politicians desperately sought their own rights and status, thus reaching a consensus with Tianqi and attempting to deceive the people and use public opinion to force the Pharaoh to leave.

This plan, which even Apocalypse disdained, was the idea of ​​the officials. They only knew how to intrigue and could not understand what power was.

What Apocalypse wants to use are the people here, as well as Eve, O'Connor, and the lives of the Pharaoh's guards. He doesn't believe that Ramses II will really ignore his people, relatives, and ministers.

At this time, Professor X also walked up to the platform and came to the mirror. He bowed respectfully to the Pharaoh, then looked directly at the Pharaoh and said in a firm tone, "There is no domination, Your Majesty. No one can dominate anyone. Egypt is now a democratic and free society under the rule of law. It emphasizes the three principles of freedom, equality, and autonomy. Unlike in ancient times, officials cannot arbitrarily execute ordinary people. Everything must be done according to the law. Moreover, the president and officials are mostly elected through the recommendation of the people..."

Professor X, standing on the podium, was giving an impassioned speech under the Pharaoh's intimidating gaze. Below the podium, Cyclops turned to Jean and said, "Is this a debate?"

Cyclops' tone was very strange. Aren't they here to fight? Why were they debating?

"Uh, it seems so." Qin was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly.

"Hey, what's going on? Are we here for a debate? And what are they talking about?" Quicksilver instantly passed through the crowd and appeared between Cyclops and Jean, saying nonchalantly.

"Well... to put it simply, the Pharaoh believed that everyone was equal under him, and those officials were just useless parasites. Professor X and we believe that everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high and low, and officials are also useful, working to build the country and make it a better place." The Beast on the other side thought about it, and considering Quicksilver's level of knowledge, he explained in the most concise and clear words.

"Will it be useful? Does he think he can use modern ideas to convince the ruler of a feudal dynasty, who is also a god?" Quicksilver curled his lips and said in a mocking tone.

"maybe."

When Cyclops and Jean cast disapproving glances at Quicksilver because of his tone, Beast remained noncommittal, as he also didn't think Professor X could convince the Pharaoh.

Chapter 296 Return to the latest chapter list next chapter

"Good beliefs, good eloquence. Let me praise you, man of glimmer." The Pharaoh in the mirror leaned back, lazily leaning on the throne, his eyes full of mockery.

Even though he himself wouldn't believe it, he could still say it with such unwavering conviction. Ha! Did he even deceive his own heart?

Pharaoh no longer had any interest in discussing this with Professor X. It was just the words of an idiot. No! It wasn't an idiot! However, a wise man who made such foolish remarks was even more ridiculous than an ordinary idiot.

"I repeat, I am the great Pharaoh, the sun god who illuminates all things. Under the radiance of my sun, all beings, whether human or alien, will be ruled by me. This is an unquestionable and indisputable truth. All who disobey will be judged."

The Pharaoh straightened up suddenly and issued a majestic and cold declaration. The murderous intent condensed into substance and surged out from the inside of the mirror, impacting the minds of Apocalypse, Magneto, and Professor X.

Although there was only a mirror in front of them, the three people felt as if they were under the scorching sun, being exposed to the extremely high temperature, and slowly turned into mummies in the desert.

None of the three are weak. Magneto, who can control the earth's magnetic field, and Professor X, who can control the thoughts of everyone on earth at the same time, can be said to be first-class among countless servants. Even among the first-class servants, they are strong ones at the top.

Therefore, the three of them quickly broke free from the illusion, but they were still sweating profusely from the sun in the illusion.

Professor X, on the other hand, was even more certain that Rasmus II would bring disaster to the Earth. Just based on his meaning that all countries under the sun are lands, everyone would understand that Rasmus II wanted to rule the Earth, because there was no country on Earth that was not illuminated by the sun.

At this moment, the mirror glowed with a golden light, like the sun, a familiar light and warmth to the three of them. The light contained in the mirror seemed to be about to burst out. Even before it erupted, the power of that light frightened the three of them.

"You are indeed the self-centered Pharaoh. Don't you want your sister, your subordinates, and your people anymore?"

Just as the attack on the mirror was about to break out, Apocalypse pushed the leader of the Guards to the front and used his telekinetic control ability to levitate Eve.

"They are all on this platform, within your attack range."

Tianqi spoke threatening words in a very sincere tone, but in fact, these shields were not captured by him.

Professor X frowned, somewhat disgusted by Apocalypse's actions, but didn't say anything, precisely for this reason.

The light on the mirror froze for a moment, then slowly dimmed, and its original power gradually disappeared.

"It is only natural for the king to reap the lives of his subjects. However, subjects who have not committed any crime should not be sentenced to death."

The figure of the Pharaoh appeared in the mirror again. Sitting on the throne, the Pharaoh looked down at the people outside the mirror with cold eyes.

"However, if you think you can escape the King's punishment in this way, you are naive. Unless you remain in that square with my people, my warriors will reap your lives."

Apocalypse's face looked a little heavy. It was precisely because he was outnumbered that he asked other mutants for help.

According to the intelligence collected by Apocalypse, the Pharaoh seemed to be able to bless his subjects in the temple, and there was no limit to the number and no consumption.

Assassins blessed by Bastet, shield warriors blessed by Gebu, berserkers blessed by Set, healers blessed by Khons, magicians blessed by Isis, archers blessed by Hugh, and the strongest warrior, the Sun Warrior, worthy of the Pharaoh's blessing of the sun.

Among these blessed people, there are only one hundred fighters who are protected by the Pharaoh himself, and each of them has abilities close to that of a fourth-level mutant. The other blessed Pharaoh's guards have combat capabilities of third-level or close to third-level mutants, and their number is no less than ten thousand.

In addition, at the same time, the number of hot sand sphinxes summoned by the Pharaoh was as high as ten, each of which had combat capabilities no weaker than that of a fourth-level mutant.

An army of this size is amazing, and it also makes Apocalypse dare not challenge the Pharaoh easily, because even he would find it difficult to defeat an army of this size.

If the Pharaoh really sent these troops to Cairo, they would have no choice but to open a portal and leave.

"Mighty King of Kings, do you dare to gamble with us?"

After a brief thought, Apocalypse spoke.

"Oh?"

Pharaoh responded without comment and motioned for Apocalypse to continue speaking.

"We are here to challenge you. During the challenge, we will not rely on the power of democracy, and you cannot use the army. If we defeat you, you must give up your rule over Egypt." Apocalypse said it very cleverly. He used the people who bewitched Pharaoh as a shield, saying that they voluntarily helped them for the sake of democracy, and directly blocked a huge advantage of Pharaoh.

"...Hahahahahaha...What did I hear? A mere person from the glimmer of light intends to challenge me? Aren't you overestimating yourself? Or are you so stupid that you think you have a chance to defeat me without an army?" Upon hearing Apocalypse's challenge, the Pharaoh was stunned at first, then he slapped his hands on the throne and laughed loudly. His laughter was full of sarcasm, and even the people under the platform could hear the Pharaoh's sarcasm towards Apocalypse without looking at the mirror.

Tianqi's face darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

This was the first time he had been treated like this. Before this resurrection, no one had ever dared to speak rudely in front of him, let alone humiliate him openly, and he could not easily refute.

Magneto was also extremely angry. The earth shaking due to magnetism was a manifestation of Magneto's anger. If he didn't think he could not be the opponent of Pharaoh, and his new boss was standing in front of him, and his good friend was staring at him, he would have exploded.

There was already a commotion below because the magnetic field chaos caused by Magneto's anger, although it did not cause any big noise, caused minor earthquakes and electromagnetic interference, and it took Professor X some effort to calm people down.

"Do you dare, Your Majesty the Pharaoh? Or do you not have the courage to fight without the army at your command?" Apocalypse challenged the Pharaoh.

"Interesting, do you think I'm some kind of King of Conquerors?"

The Pharaoh looked at Apocalypse coldly.

"Come then, people of the glimmer. I accept your challenge. Come to my temple and let me witness with my own eyes whether you have the qualifications to make such outrageous statements to me."
