Chapter 68: The Old King and the New Emperor (1)
Laugh at... Snort...
In the church of St. Van Gonzal, the broken bricks and tiles were burned into glassy crystals, and the soles of the feet that burned with orange flames sank deep into a semi-molten pit.
After a few moments, the flames seemed to be absorbed back into his body, and James Howlett was completely naked, with only a piece of broken metal like a blue-black battle skirt covering his crotch.
Smack.
The palm of his hand slapped his cheek hard, and the flames emanating from his ears and pupils completely disappeared, and he returned to his tall and heroic appearance.
There were only Emma, Ancient One, and Charles, and the shock in his pupils was still in the terrifying form he had transformed into when he had just bathed in the fire of hell......
"Jen, James?"
Emma asked softly tentatively, unsure if the man standing in front of her was not the James she knew, and her boots took a step forward before backing down.
"Ai... Cornelian... Ahem! Help me get a piece of clothing..."
The first two syllables that came out of James's mouth were like the roar of flames rising as a city burned, interspersed with a thick and terrifying hoarseness.
He hurriedly coughed a few times, adjusted back to the normal timbre of his voice, and subconsciously looked at his hands, as if everything was as usual.
"Mr. Howlett, you're still... What about the soul of Zatanos?"
The Supreme Mage stared at his eyes for a long time, and the worry between her brows finally relaxed, she seemed to have a way to discern whether this body was still James himself, and without further ado, she asked about the condition of the demon lord.
"There's still a little bit that hasn't been cleaned up, but it doesn't have much impact, and maybe the only thing that troubles is... It's not going to be a good temper during this time, thank you, thank you, hard work dear, and Professor Charles, how have the past few days?
James took the black armor from Emma and put it on as she served.
The perimeter of the ruins of St. Van Gonza had always been garrisoned by members of the Howlets, and the black combat suit was made up of a large number of vibranium cast armor leaves, but James rarely wore them.
"Sir... Your consciousness has only been in the spiritual world for three or four days, but it starts with the battle with Mephisto..."
While talking about the outside world, Professor Charles faintly felt that the air around him was getting hotter and hotter, his mouth was dry, and his skin was a little itchy, as if it had been dried dry.
This small, dilapidated church is like a scorching heat and dry in the Sahara Desert under the blazing sun.
Charles watched as James's expression became more and more cold, and the psychic and spiritual power of the void space faintly tingled his awareness, Charles guessed that Mr. Howlett was already struggling to control his emotions.
γβ¦ Good, ancient mutants, good... Ancient One, please "open the door" for me, Charles, you go straight back to the New York headquarters."
After a few words, James just watched a little spark rise in the church, swirling a teleportation portal to the towering and quaint golden palace, and he had just stepped closer when he heard a familiar childish shout.
γβ¦ Daddy! Daddy is coming βββ
"Hehe, girl, here you are."
The corners of his mouth grinned softly, and the depths of James' slightly narrowed pupils were intertwined with blood-red and fiery light, and he stepped out of the portal, hovering in mid-air, black-haired hunting wildly, windless automatic.
β¦β¦β¦
"Huh? Dad is better than daddy! Laura is here! I'm really shouting, do I have any abilities that I haven't discovered, and my dad is more heart-to-heart than roaring roar......
The little wolf girl was stunned for a moment, looking at the figure standing in the air was indeed her father James, and shouted with excited dark teeth.
Although she was still firmly bound and suspended by invisible telekinesis, she twisted her little ass and shook her paws with all her might, signaling that her father was here.
James lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Steve, the student who was blocked by a giant stone pillar like a water tower, as well as Asazzo and Raven, his daughter Laura, and his grandson Kurt the Blue Devil.
and Eric Lanshel, who was lying on the stone platform, with an iron face, like he had been poisoned, looked strangely calm.
γβ¦ Well? Hehehe... Ha ha
Ha! γ
The palace exploded with the wanton laughter of the Apocalypse, and he stared earnestly at the figure who walked out of the portal, his solemn face suddenly relaxed, and he shook his head slightly.
"You're their master? It's really just a "beast, alas, it's a pity that you've been able to tap into this little bit of power to such an extent... Hmph, Howlett, I'm talking to you!"
β¦β¦β¦
"Mom told me that you have been very disobedient recently while we are away!"
In James's eyes, it seemed that there was no such person as an apocalypse, and the mighty giant, which was more than two meters tall, was in the middle of the palace, singing loudly.
He slowly fell, walked up to Laura and Kurt, and grabbed a handful in the void, as if grasping some invisible bond, his fingers clenched, and there was a slight breaking sound in the air.
Woohoo!
The little wolf girl fell from the air and was taken into James's arms, while Kurt flashed to his shoulder and hugged him affectionately, his little tail wrapped around James's neck, and he snorted milkily
"Grandpa~ You're here, that blue-headed bully us!"
"Yes, Dabi, how could Laura not be well-behaved, if it weren't for my bravery and wit, Kurt and his classmates and teachers in the academy would have been killed by this blue head!"
James gently stroked Laura, who was holding him like an octopus, and rubbed his face with Kurt with a smile.
"Hey, grandpa, you're so hot..."
Laura also raised her little head to look at her father, and felt that not only was his whole body as hot as a furnace, but there was also some kind of indescribable change.
"Grandpa... Just came out of the fire and swam around."
Apocalypse stopped talking, he watched calmly as the "Mr. Howlett" who finally appeared casually broke through the shackles of his telekinesis, and then held the two children like this, looked left and right at the three people who were sealed in the stone pillar, and raised his free right arm.
Boom Boom!
Three rays of fiery blood-red energy burst out of James' palm,βββ shattering the boulder that bound the three of Steve.
In the dust, James handed over the two children to Raven, and then looked at Asazzo, and the Red Devil understood, and instantly flashed to Eric's side lying on the stone platform, and took his arm and immediately exploded into a cloud of black and red smoke.
"Presumptuous!"
The five fingers of the apocalypse were in control, trapping the burst of smoke in mid-air, but a fist-shaped red light broke through the air, blasting him more than ten meters away, and the armor on his chest was shattered, so he had to let Asazo take people away.
"Teacher, his name is En Sabah Noor, he calls himself the Apocalypse, and he is very comprehensive......
James slowly lowered his right fist as he listened to Steve talk about the apocalypse, his fingers on Eric's neck, his face relaxed.
"It's not very toxic, send it back to the old house."
Burst!
As the Red Devil teleported away with Eric Lanshel in his arms, James patted Steve on the shoulder and finally set his sights on the apocalypse.
He had repaired his turquoise armor with a wave of his hand, and the faint blue flames in his eyes were bursting up in clusters.
"I'm not a master, they're my children, my students, my relatives."
James walked through the majestic pyramid palace, looking around at the ceremonial sculptures and arrangements of the Apocalypse in this building, and replied casually, staring at the blue-gray stiff face, and his words were strangely calm.
"You reminded me that this world needs to be ploughed at least again, to be cleaner."
The crackling spark portal suddenly closed, Emma and the Ancient One mage stepped out of it, standing in the distance and watching, Apocalypse glanced at the woman in the ancient robe, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and poured his attention into the seemingly ordinary mutant in front of him.
"Charles."
James, who had black hair and black armor, called the professor's name strangely, and then a torrent of heart and spirit covered the whole world
The "Famine" knight not far behind the apocalypse suddenly held down his huge skull, his pale cheeks twisted and struggling.
"Ho... Lord, master... Call... Call... Howley first
Raw, I'm here! γ
Jason Stryker leaned over and roared for a moment, then raised his head and said to James with a calm face, except for Jason's high-pitched and hoarse voice, the tone and rhythm were the same as those of Professor Charles.
Swish!
A little black light filled the eyes of the apocalypse, and he also connected to Charles's surging heart and spiritual power, and said excitedly again
"That's the power I want! Control everyone! Be allβ"
Rumble! The statue of the Apocalypse in the center of the main hall, which is tens of meters high, was deeply knocked out of a hole, and the rubble fell sparsely, and the Apocalypse himself disappeared.
Only James twisted his neck on the spot, and said to "Charles", who suddenly regained his sanity for a moment
"Pacify those mutants from all over the world, let them hide away first, and wait for me to clean up this place..."
Bang bang bang ... Between the statue's pedestals, the apocalypse stepped out of the shattered hole, half of its collapsed head rattling and healing itself.
It turned out that he had just entered the spirit of this mutant with the strongest psychic ability he had ever seen, and he was smashed in the skull by James with a punch and knocked back.
"Yes, sir, I wish you... Have fun."
Professor Charles manipulated Jason Stryker's body and slowly retreated, even leaning over and smiling.
β¦β¦β¦
Brought into the Apocalypse King City by a psychic hallucination, a gentle and powerful magnetic male voice sounded in the minds of mutants almost all over the world.
γβ¦ Hello, I'm Professor Charles Xavier, please don't panic, you are experiencing an unexpected incident at the moment, a ...... from ancient Egypt."
In the vast Canjin Square, hundreds of thousands of mutants heard and saw the whole story in their minds, and they were comforted by Charles's psychic power and retreated, sitting in place and waiting for rescue arrangements.
"Warren, Qianhuan, Rick... It's good that everybody's here..."
"Silver Fox" Kayla gathered the students of the academy, she looked for a long time but did not see the figure of Laura, and when she was in a hurry, she heard Professor Charles's voice in her head again, and then she became clear and quieted down.
In the main hall, the apocalypse stood silently, he walked towards James step by step, and actually peeled off the blue armor on his body with his own hands.
