In fact, Rick has always felt that Selene's abilities are very similar to those of Naughty.

Or rather, the naughty Rogue's mutant abilities are very similar to Selene's.

Through skin-to-skin contact, the Rogues quickly absorb and take away the memories, superpowers, personalities, and even lives of other living humanoid intelligent beings.

At first, Rogue's ability to absorb was not well controlled, making her not outstanding among mutants.

But as her abilities matured, she began to be able to freely choose the ability to absorb objects, and even the ability to absorb multiple objects at the same time.

During her time with the Extraordinary Avengers, she absorbed the abilities of almost all of the Avengers and X-Men in one fell swoop in order to resist one of the most powerful Celestial groups, Exitar the Executioner.

Normally, the ability absorbed by the Rakshasa Woman lasts 60 times longer than the contact time, and the opponent who is absorbed during this period is in a state of distraction, so in order not to let her partner's ability be absorbed by her, so she is tightly wrapped.

But she now has the ability to absorb the abilities, memories, and lives of others from far away, and no longer needs to touch enemies to absorb their abilities and memories.

Because Rogue's superpowers have been continuously absorbed by Carol Danvers, Lady Marvel, she has long possessed super strength, speed, stamina, defense, and flight, even if she does not absorb any other abilities.

Compared to Selene, the Rakshasa may lose in the fact that what she absorbs cannot be preserved forever.

This also made Rick interested in Selene's abilities.

It's different from the apocalypse that claims to be the god and ancestor of mutants.

Apocalypse's ability to plunder other people's mutant abilities also requires a method of replacing the body through seizure.

Although this gave him countless mutant abilities, most of them were useless.

Rick wanted Selene's abilities, but he was concerned about the unknown effects or mutations that the X gene would have on his body.

It's a good thing for the mutation to become stronger, but if the mutation becomes weaker, it's a bad thing, and the gains outweigh the losses.

It's like Emperor Shakti cultivating the Five Thunder Transformation Pole Hands.

Therefore, even if he has collected a lot of X genes with powerful mutant abilities, Rick has not rashly tried it.

……

Ancient Egypt, one of the four ancient civilizations.

It was located in northeastern Africa, in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile, which is now the Middle East.

About this place, it can be summed up by "one ancestor, two peoples, three diasporas, four wars".

Because of its special geographical location, it is a transportation hub between the East and the West.

Coupled with religious and cultural differences, this area is in a state of chaos all year round.

Of course, there are also reasons for the interference and meddling of major powers.

Most people's image of ancient Egypt may be the dark and quaint temple buildings, the imposing pyramids, and the mysterious Sphinx.

In fact, in addition to the above, the first mutant organizations also appeared here.

Compared with Europe and North America, the Middle East, where the three religions and nine streams live in mixed groups, is actually more convenient to hide itself, and it is less likely to be ostracized and persecuted.

In addition, the oldest mutant on Earth, Apocalypse, was born in ancient Egypt.

After he became the honorable pharaoh, he transformed all the loyal guards around him into mutants.

Later, the apocalypse fell into a deep sleep and gradually became forgotten.

But those mutants who have been transformed continue to develop their compatriots and grow in power.

In the Middle East, every warlord or religious leader with some bit of strength.

More or less in their hands, they all have several mutants as secret weapons.

Outside a pyramid that has never been discovered.

Endless desert of yellow sand.

A team of men is actively excavating.

Look at their dress, like caravans walking in the desert.

But judging by their behavior, they are more like a group of tomb robbers.

The pyramids were the tombs of the ancient Egyptian kings, who historically called them "pharaohs".

Due to the profound influence of religious culture, the ancient Egyptians formed a deep-rooted "concept of the afterlife".

They believed that the earthly world was only a temporary abode, and that eternity could only be obtained after death.

Therefore, every ancient Egyptian, especially the aristocracy.

They will carefully prepare their graves in order to gain eternal life after death.

And the pharaoh's mausoleum pyramid, which means "ladder to heaven", is naturally more magnificent and magnificent.

When they die, they will use all kinds of precious jewelry and antiques as funeral objects.

Those rulers enjoyed honor in their lifetimes, and when they died, they aspired to bring power and glory to the underworld.

It's just that they don't know that using a magnificent building like a pyramid as a mausoleum can not only show their own strength and majesty, but also attract an endless stream of tomb robbers.

Like, now.

"Are you sure it's here?"

A stubby man with a beard asked, frowning.

"I'm looking for the pharaoh's tomb, like Tutankhamun's tomb, which will make us a lot of money!"

Tutankhamun was also a pharaoh of Egypt, and his tomb was later discovered by a British archaeologist in the Valley of the Kings.

The funeral items inside are incomparably valuable, and just the gold mask, which weighs ten kilograms and is inlaid with various gemstones, can fetch a sky-high price at auction.

According to statistics, the museum valued some of the excavated antiques and gold, which can be as high as 650 million pounds.

That's an astronomical sum, enough to drive anyone crazy.

Since the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, the archaeologists who participated in the development work have all become rich overnight, attracting countless envious eyes.

Correspondingly, the Valley of the Kings, which was dedicated to the burial of pharaohs and their concubines, is also full of pits.

Every place where there is a possibility of burial treasure has been warmly visited by tomb robbers.

"Achilles doesn't lie. I could feel that there was a pyramid underneath it, which had not yet been discovered, buried underground. ”

A bald man who looked like he had albinism said in an affirmative tone.

His name is Achilles, and he is an alpha-class mutant.

It has excellent perception ability, and can not only detect nearby compatriots, but also detect the terrain, which can be called a humanoid radar.

"Hopefully you can't go wrong."

The beard said with a warning hint.

"Archaeological work" in ancient Egypt has been one of the hottest investments in recent years.

A lot of rich aristocrats, they like to find a few archaeologists, and then give money, give people, and look for the tombs of the pharaohs.

If you succeed once, the rewards are enormous.

Like the great seafaring that once prevailed, the royal family sponsored navigators who discovered the New World and brought back gold and spices.

"Achilles can't go wrong."

The bald man seemed to be afraid of the sun and covered himself with his hood.

He is one of the most well-known black marketeers and intelligence brokers in the Middle East.
