I Am a Heroic Spirit

"Wind! Rain! Thunder! Heed my command!"

After receiving the signal from Apocalypse, Storm stood up excitedly and set off a storm. The storm was filled with thunder and lightning. Dark clouds gathered on the top of the temple, and bean-sized raindrops poured down, increasing the power of thunder and lightning to the maximum.

Within five meters of Storm, it was still clear. Under Storm's control, not a drop of rain flowed into the place where Apocalypse and others were standing.

Wind, rain, thunder and lightning raged in the temple, turning the bright temple gloomy. Everywhere, extremely aggressive storms fell from great heights and hit the alien's body. The violent hurricane swept the alien up, and the high-intensity lightning knocked the alien to the ground. The rain containing electric currents eroded the alien's body.

"hateful!"

Nitocris waved her scepter, breaking up the incoming storm, her face filled with rage.

Nitocris originally wanted to use the alien to test the challenger's strength, so after summoning the alien, she stood under the statue of Horus, calmly preparing to watch the battle.

However, she hadn't anticipated that their opponent also possessed a mutant capable of controlling weather energy. The sudden oncoming storm startled her. If it weren't for the protection of the Horus statue, which dissipated the approaching wind, rain, and lightning, she, the incarnation of Horus, would have been shamefully injured by the very power she controlled.

"Wind, rain, thunder! Rest assured, let your duties be temporarily abandoned. In the name of Nitocris, I command you to restore clear skies to this place!"

Nitocris exercised the power of Horus, and the powerful magical fluctuations were like a breeze, taking away the wind, rain, thunder and lightning caused by Storm.

However, as dark creatures, the aliens were all struck apart by the lightning controlled by Storm. When the storm subsided, no aliens could be seen.

Although all the aliens were destroyed, Storm was stunned because she did not actively disperse the storm.

This was the third time she had encountered this kind of thing. The first time, Apocalypse dispelled the storm through his control of the elements. The second time, Magneto dispelled the storm through his control of atoms. But this time, she didn't feel that the storm she caused was disturbed by anything, and it disappeared completely. This situation was too unscientific.

"Under the protection of Horus, the god of the sky!"

When Storm was full of doubts, Nitocris pointed the scepter at Storm and said angrily.

However, before she could finish her words, she was attacked by two red laser beams. She hurriedly activated the protective magic, and the dim arc light blocked the attack of the laser beams, but it was also broken.

This was Cyclops' attack, a tactic they discussed when the storm covered the temple, because no one thought that Storm alone could deal with Nitocris.

Cyclops's laser was only the first round. Immediately afterwards, a cold breath came from behind Nitocris' neck. Nitocris subconsciously summoned a whirlwind under her feet, which made her fly into the air and narrowly avoided the blue light blade that passed by from below.

This was the second round launched by Psylocke, who used ninjutsu to secretly sneak behind the statue of Horus, and cooperated with Cyclops.

At this time, the third round of attack also began.

"Swoosh!" With the sound of steel feathers piercing the air, the iron feathers constructed by the X gene shot towards Nitocris at a high speed. Behind hundreds of iron feathers, the archangel flapped his iron wings and flew towards Nitocris at an extremely fast speed.

"Obstruct! Barrier! Guard!"

Nitocris uttered three syllables, and three great defensive magic spells were performed by Nitocris through the B-level high-speed divine words.

Hundreds of steel feathers pierced the halo around Nitocris, but only pierced the first layer of halo, causing slight ripples in the second layer.

The steel wings that flashed from the side like lightning only broke the second layer of the aperture. Nitocris, who was inside the aperture, had been chanting divine words continuously and supported several layers of defense.

The archangel, who missed the attack, flew around Nitocris. His steel wings rubbed against Nitocris's protective barrier like saw teeth, but not only did it not break, but Nitocris, who had freed his hands, hit him with a magic bullet and knocked him to the ground from mid-air.

Although Nitocris was not injured, she was panicked for a while because of the three consecutive attacks from Cyclops, Psylocke and Archangel. Therefore, Nitocris, who was humiliated and angry, took out the Mirror of the Underworld again and released the warriors of the underworld from it.

"Damn it! How dare you let me lose my composure like this! Such behavior must not be taken lightly! Mirror of the Underworld, reveal yourself! Return the shame these people have brought upon me a thousandfold! Men of the fallen nation! Come forth!"

However, when Nitocris finished her spell and the Mirror of the Underworld disappeared from her hand, no one saw the alien appear.

Apart from Apocalypse and the others, there were no other living creatures except Nitocris.

"What? Summoning failed?"

Psylocke half-crouched down and looked around carefully, but found nothing worth being wary of.

So Psylocke stood up straight, used her telekinesis to create a katana and held it in her hand. She bent her body and shot out towards Nitocris in mid-air like an arrow. The telekinetic katana in her hand sparked as it rubbed against the air.

"No! Get out of the way! Psylocke!"

Suddenly, Jean shouted that through her telepathic abilities, she saw things that humans could not see.

Although Psylocke heard Jean's voice, she was unable to move her body. Jean also saw this and immediately raised her hand and released a shock wave, hitting Psylocke's back.

Just as the shock wave was released from Jean's hand, two lasers appeared from not far behind Psylocke and shot towards her, just hitting the shock wave released by Jean.

The collision of energy caused a wave, causing Psylocke to lose her balance and fall from mid-air. However, just as she was about to land, Psylocke shrank her body, adjusted her posture, and stood firmly on the ground with both feet.

"What are those things? An oval shape on top and two legs on the bottom?"

Magneto converted the surrounding environment in his field of vision into electromagnetic energy and observed it. He discovered more than a dozen strange biological magnetic fields. Through the magnetic field halo, he could barely see the approximate shape of the creature.

"Attention! That is the subordinate of Osiris, the god of the underworld, Medjed the Conqueror, who is also a god." Imhotep also saw those creatures that were invisible to the naked eye, and his expression became a little uncomfortable.

"This body type is exactly the same. Medjed appears in the Book of the Dead. He is a subordinate of Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld. Medjed means savior, and his main responsibility is to defeat enemies who resist Osiris. His eyes can emit light waves and breathe fire, which is invisible to the human eye. The body outside the eyes is covered with white cloth, leaving only the legs exposed. The inner appearance is unknown, and he likes to eat human hearts."

Professor X also used his telepathic ability to see Medjed's true identity and quickly found records about Medjed.

As soon as Professor X finished speaking, dozens of lasers shot towards him from all corners. Each of these dozens of lasers had a strength close to that of Cyclops' self-suppression. Professor X, who had no ability to interfere with reality, would not be able to survive if he was hit.

The laser was also very fast and reached Professor X in an instant. However, Magneto's reaction speed, enhanced by electromagnetic force, was faster than these lasers. A second before the laser arrived, he took a step forward, stood in front of Professor X, and deployed a magnetic force field. Dozens of lasers did not leave any traces on this force field.

Professor X glared at the Mercaders and destroyed their thinking abilities.

Originally, the previous levels were meant to be left to those level three mutants who had been strengthened to level four by Apocalypse, so that they could adapt to their own strength. However, there was no way to take action now, after all, the other party had already come to the door.

Professor X, Magneto, and Apocalypse turned their gazes to Nitocris, and the people from the three parties understood their intentions very well.

Beast, Sabretooth, Colossus, Storm, Cyclops, Jean, Psylocke, Archangel, and Quicksilver attacked together, trying to defeat Nitocris in one fell swoop.

Faced with the attacking mutants, Nitocris was shocked and frightened, but it was only because of the momentum and the mental attack.

The multiple protective barriers she had set up were quickly broken one by one, and in the blink of an eye, only two or three layers remained.

When Nitocris came to her senses, she saw that her last defense was about to be broken. In panic, she subconsciously communicated with the power of the Nubian Temple and simulated her own Noble Phantasm.

"Don't think you can defeat me like this. Let me show you my Noble Phantasm! The Corpse Mirror. The Mirror of Darkness. Transformed into a door, it draws terror here... The Mirror of the Underworld (Anpw Nebu Ta Djsr)!"

The moment the last defense was broken, the breath of death spread, Nitocris floated in mid-air, and blue-purple death magic spread from under her feet.

A huge blue-purple disc rose behind Nitocris, and a tall wolf-headed man flew out of it.

Quicksilver, the fastest one, had already reached Nitocris, but like a cat whose tail was stepped on, his fur stood on end and he ran back at the fastest speed. In an instant, he brushed past Apocalypse and crashed into the barrier at the entrance of the temple.

Beast, Colossus, Psylocke, Archangel, and Sabretooth, as mutants good at melee combat, were the first to feel the threat of death and wanted to retreat immediately. However, their speed was far slower than Quicksilver. Before they could take a few steps back, they were eroded by the power of death, and their faces had obviously changed, as if they had aged ten years.

"It's the god Anubis!"

Imhotep took two steps back reflexively. If it weren't for Apocalypse's warning look, he would have fled the temple.

Because he had suffered from Anubis's power several times, the god Imhotep feared the most was Anubis, who was not a big god in Egypt, even though he knew that Anubis was not a real god.

Chapter 317 Return to the latest chapter list next chapter

A large and luxurious mirror appeared above Anubis's head. The mirror surface glowed with a faint light and bloomed with the color of death. Dozens of white ghosts emerged from the mirror and pounced on the mutants.

Beast, Colossus, Psylocke, Archangel, and Sabretooth were the first to be hit. They were hit from behind by dozens of white ghosts and then pierced through the chest.

The departure of the white ghost took away the vitality of the five people, and even their souls. After the white ghost went away, the five corpses fell straight forward with a dull sound.

"Hank!"

Jean and Professor X's faces suddenly changed, because they could no longer detect the mental fluctuations of Beast and others.

Magneto and Apocalypse's expressions also changed, and they became serious.

Although the others did not have telepathic abilities, they could tell something from the looks of Beast and the others, as well as the expressions of Professor X, Magneto and the others.

"Don't resist! Don't let yourself be touched! And don't try to defend yourself! That's Anubis's messenger! If you're touched, your life will be taken away! No exceptions!"

Seeing this scene, Imhotep's pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted loudly with lingering fear. He was very familiar with this thing. When he was resurrected for the first time, he was captured and taken back to Hell by Anubis's messenger in a different form.

Holding the Golden Sutra in his robe tightly, Imhotep stared closely at the ghosts rushing forward, ready to use the power of the Golden Sutra at any time, and with the help of the power of the sun god, resist the power of the underworld gods.

The golden sunlight faintly appeared on Imhotep's body, and the protective barrier that protected the dead from harm covered Imhotep.

However, under the power of Anubis, Imhotep could only protect himself and could not take care of others.

"Jean! Scott! Get behind me."

Professor X shouted at Phoenix and Cyclops, then mobilized all his mental strength and unfolded an invisible wall in front of him.

The messenger of Anubis is naturally a ghost or monster. The so-called ghost is an aggregate of some kind of spiritual energy. Materials such as steel may not be able to defend against it, so what about the spiritual power of the same attribute?

With this in mind, Professor X strengthened his mental defense to the maximum extent by adjusting his mental fluctuations.

However, even so, the threat of death still exists in the hearts of Professor X and Cyclops.

An inexplicable intuition told Professor X that he couldn't stop it. No! It wasn't that he couldn't stop it, but that while he was doing so, he would also be severely damaged.

"Can you block it?"

Apocalypse turned to Magneto beside him and asked, if Magneto had no way, then he would have to do it himself, otherwise in the end, he would be the only one left alone, how could he fight?

Magneto did not answer Apocalypse, but took a few steps forward and signaled Professor X to step back.

"Are you sure?"

Professor X asked Magneto in a rapid voice, his eyes fixed on the rapidly approaching ghost.

"They all hid behind me."

Magneto did not answer directly, but just stared ahead and spoke calmly.

Because there was no other way, everyone could only listen to Magneto's arrangements. All the mutants except Apocalypse, Immorton and Hellboy quickly hid behind Magneto.

Dozens of ghosts were divided into four teams according to their number, and flew towards Apocalypse, Imhotep, Hellboy, and Magneto respectively.

Hellboy didn't have any tricks. Facing the flying white ghost, he simply clenched his right fist and punched out with all his strength. The wind from his fist tore through the air, but could only pass through the ghost's body without causing any effect.

However, the ghost who ignored the fist wind was about to face Hellboy's fist.

Mystery loses its effect in the face of a higher mystery, and this also applies here.

The messenger of the underworld summoned by Nitocris was like a wooden board in front of Hellboy's right hand of destruction, and was pierced through by a punch. The power of death had no effect on Hellboy.

With the help of the power of the Golden Sutra of the Sun, Imhotep deployed a protective barrier to isolate several white ghosts.

Apocalypse did not take any defensive measures against the arrival of the white ghosts and allowed several white ghosts to enter his body. However, after those white ghosts entered Apocalypse's body, they became the power of Apocalypse.

Several white ghosts were all decomposed and absorbed by Apocalypse for his own use, without any waste.

Magneto stretched out his hands and created a black hole the size of a person in front of him, sucking in all the surrounding white ghosts, and then immediately closed the black hole.

Regardless of their strength, these four people have cheats. Hellboy's fist is related to God and can destroy the world; Imhotep's magic has been strengthened three times, and he has two artifacts in his hands; Apocalypse is omnipotent, and even Professor X cannot compare to him in terms of mental power. If it is a direct attack treasure, it would be better. This kind of treasure that tends to curse will not be affected much even if it is resisted; Magneto controls the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces of the universe. He is also a genius scientist. Through the control of electromagnetic force, the electromagnetic force field he unfolds is capable of blocking the invasion of the white ghost. He only opened the black hole for safety.

After resisting Nitocris's Noble Phantasm, Magneto took the initiative, controlling the light and heat energy in the electromagnetic spectrum to form a fan-shaped laser, sweeping towards Nitocris.

Just as Nitocris was about to chant the divine word to activate the protective measures, Professor X controlled her mind and she was unable to speak.

The fan-shaped laser created by Magneto took the opportunity to pass through Nitocris' heart, or the location of her soul core, and split her body into two halves.

Professor X and Magneto, the old friends, cooperated extremely well and defeated Nitocris in a breath.

"As expected of a warrior who dares to challenge the King. Only then can you be worthy of an audience with the King..."

Nitocris's body was dissipating, and countless points of light were leaving her body. The expression that remained was very calm, but also a bit bitter.

"...Please forgive me, Sun King. I'm not worthy enough to call myself Pharaoh..."

The slight sound vanished on the wind, and Nitocris's body disappeared from everyone's sight.

Although the enemy was defeated, no one showed any joy.

"Hank..."

Professor X slowly approached the beast's body, knelt down in front of it, lowered his head, and let out a sad cry.

For the first time, he regretted coming to Egypt and taking part in the challenge against the Pharaoh. Otherwise, Hank would not have died.

Cyclops and Phoenix walked forward, looking sadly at the old beast. They wanted to comfort Professor X, but the words were on the tip of their tongues and they could only stand on either side in silence.

Magneto glanced indifferently at the five people lying on the ground, then looked at Professor X who was kneeling on the ground. He was silent for a moment and looked at Apocalypse.

"Well, do you have the mutant ability to resurrect?" Magneto asked Apocalypse, with a pleading tone in his voice that he himself did not even realize.

Hearing Magneto's words, Professor X looked at Apocalypse in surprise. Cyclops and Phoenix also had an idea and helped Professor X up and looked at Apocalypse.

Since Apocalypse is known as the first mutant and has nearly omnipotent mutant abilities, what about resurrection?

With this thought in mind, Professor X, Phoenix, and Cyclops felt a little hope in their hearts.

"Resurrection? That's the realm of God. You might as well ask the Sun God." The outspoken Quicksilver said as he shook his head without hope. He had never heard of a mutant who could resurrect others. At most, they could help those on the verge of death recover quickly.

Professor X, Cyclops, and Phoenix looked as if they had realized something after hearing this.

Yes, since Ramses II is known as the King of Gods, and one of his pharaohs, Nitocris, can use the power of Anubis, the god of death, then as the King of Gods, Ramses II, who is integrated with the sun god Ra, naturally has the ability to resurrect.

"Eh? You guys don't really want to ask that Sun God for help, do you? Don't forget, we're here to challenge him and violate his authority. If you really want to ask the Sun God for help, you might as well hope that Uncle En has the ability to resurrect."
