Marvel Universe: Chapter 863 Apocalypse (Part 1)

In ancient mythology, Asgard, Jotunheim, and the mortal world all originated from a World Tree. Although the destruction of one world is unlikely to cause a chain reaction of collapse in another, large-scale turmoil is inevitable.

However, within the Earth's detection range, S.H.I.E.L.D. found absolutely no signs of disaster or other abnormalities. The conclusion was that the world showed no unusual phenomena due to the disappearance of Asgard…

“I admit that mythology has some elements of truth. For example, the ‘Thor’ you brought back who lost ‘Mjolnir’ did have an unexpected perception of thunder, but we can’t believe it entirely. At least Earth couldn’t have been built on a tree, let alone be affected by the destruction of ‘Asgard’, which is located in some corner of the universe.”

Half a month has passed since the event occurred. It took Nick Fury a week to accept the existence of "Asgard" and the arrival of the mythical creature "Thor." After all, he wasn't someone who experienced it firsthand, and even with all the superheroes as witnesses, he couldn't easily accept it all, not to mention that "Asgard" had collapsed under the attack of some invaders from Earth...

Of these factors, the latter accounts for the majority.

“It’s not that I doubt your conclusions, but while those sword wielders may possess power equivalent to a level 5 mutant, at most that would only cause a terrorist attack. Destroying 'Asgard'—a planetary world at least the size of Earth—is simply impossible.”

There is a mistake in your statement.

After interrupting Nick Fury's explanation with a blank expression, Black Widow crossed her arms and said, "It wasn't the Swordholders who destroyed Asgard; they were just responsible for cleansing it, like soldiers on a battlefield."

"So who pressed the nuclear launch button?"

"People on Mount Everest".

He looked at the expressionless Soviet agent with a smile, and only after a full half minute did he slowly lose his composure: "Are you sure you're not joking?"

"If this joke could make me leave the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D., I would be more than willing to do it."

Staring intently at the agent before him, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. let out a sigh after a long while: "Have we been fighting a monster capable of destroying the Earth?"

"Destroying the Earth is not necessarily the case, but judging from his actions in destroying Asgard at the time, destroying the United States would not have been too difficult."

"It makes no difference to us."

Spreading his hands, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. reiterated, "Tell me everything, don't leave anything out."

New York, USA.

As the mutant time gradually subsided, the bustling city returned to its former glory. Thor, invited here as the "Prince of Asgard," received high-level treatment, but for the son of the current God-King, this treatment was nothing but torture.

"I'd rather find my enemy right now and kill him or be killed by him than waste my days here!"

"Calm down, buddy."

Even without Thor's hammer, Thor still possesses the physical attributes of an Asgardian. His strength and speed, three times that of an ordinary person, make him difficult for anyone to hold back. Tony Stark had no choice but to don his Iron Man suit to slow him down.

"You don't even know where that monster is. Even if you run out, you'll just get killed by those people flying around with swords."

"……asshole!"

Thor slumped back into his seat, his anger simmering but finding no outlet for it.

He used to be spoiled and domineering. His status as the son of the God-King allowed him to get along wherever he went. How could he end up like this now, where he is received as the Prince of Asgard on the surface, but in reality, it is no different from being under house arrest?

If it weren't for the promise to search for news of Asgard and the location of their enemies, and if it weren't for the fact that he had already lost his prized Mjolnir, Thor would have rushed out without hesitation instead of staying here like a protected animal for people to watch.

Seeing Thor's helpless situation, Tony Stark, who is Iron Man, also felt a little sorry for him.

If he weren't the chairman of Stark Industries, he probably would have been caught the moment he revealed that he was Iron Man. The better treatment he would have received would be like Thor's—there are many things to study in Asgard and in himself, in other words, he still has value.

And the terrible treatment... There are more than one or two supervillains who have been captured and subjected to live human research. It's not a big deal that there is another superhero who "reforms" and turns over a new leaf. After all, the United States has never lacked such people.

After putting aside these terrible ideas, Tony, having taken off his suit, sat down opposite Thor: "Speaking of which, you were the only one there at the time. What did you see when you met Odin, the King of the Gods? Why did Asgard... suddenly explode?"

"That guy stole Thor's hammer, then destroyed the outer protective mechanism, squandering the power of lightning like a consumable! Even if we find it again, it can only be used as an ordinary hammer."

……

During the ensuing conversation, Tony managed to grasp the meaning of the so-called "Thor's Hammer." He found it unbelievable that God King would let his son wield a white dwarf, and he also felt a pang of envy at the thought of being able to directly confront a "monster" who used a white dwarf to create a weapon.

"By the way, do you have any other brothers?"

"Why do you ask?"

"After reading Norse mythology, I wonder how much of it is true."

“I have a younger brother named Loki. I didn’t see him when I found Odin. Hopefully, he was sent out of Asgard beforehand, otherwise…”

Although it was hard to accept, Thor didn't think Loki had much of a chance of surviving the explosion that destroyed the entire Asgard. He himself only managed to escape to Earth with the help of a mysterious figure (the Ancient One). If he had stayed at the scene, he would probably be dead by now.

The people of the Celestial Palace are physically strong, but they are far from being invulnerable to weapons and have bodies of steel. In the center of an impact that is even more violent than an atomic bomb explosion, they would almost certainly die.

While pondering these things, Thor noticed that Tony's expression was a bit strange and subconsciously asked, "What happened?"

“A mutant… well, you might not understand this, but you can think of him as an enemy of the group that invaded Asgard before.”

Marvel Universe: Chapter 864 Apocalypse (Part 2)

“A mutant… well, you might not understand this, but you can think of him as an enemy of the group that invaded Asgard before.”

Upon hearing this, Thor's expression brightened slightly: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. What happened to that mutant? Did he defeat those bastards?"

"We were defeated—that's what I'd like to say."

He spread his hands: "After all, it means we don't have to keep facing these troublesome adversaries, but before that, more than 90% of the mutants on Earth had already been killed by them, and we could only watch helplessly."

Thor still vividly remembers what happened in Asgard, and he couldn't bring himself to speak as he recalled it.

"Back to the topic, just as those people were chasing several mutants all the way to Egypt, a mutant appeared."

"What's so strange about him?"

"...He called himself Apocalypse, born in the First Dynasty of Egypt."

It is obvious that the son of the god-king born from Asgard in Norse mythology could not possibly understand Egyptian history. Before he even asked the question, Tony Stark added directly: "A dynasty that was around 3000 BC... in other words, a dynasty that is about 5000 years old now."

Everything has an origin.

Just as the Swordholders, who have now expanded their reach across the entire Earth, all originated from a cultivation sect called "Qionghua," mutants also have an origin—the First Dynasty of Egypt, who called themselves Apocalypse, the first mutant in human history.

However, this first mutant in human history appeared a little late. If it had happened a decade or two ago, he would undoubtedly have become the center of the world and would have had a high chance of dominating the entire world. Even a few years ago, he could have established a kingdom of his own with the support of mutants. Even just over half a year ago, he was still able to absorb the power of the Brotherhood and the Institute of Mutants and become a major totalitarian organization in the world.

However, he appears now... in an era when mutants have been almost wiped out by the Swordholders.

The Apocalypse was discovered by a group of five sword-wielders who were tracking two mutants who had fled to Egypt. The aftermath of the battle destroyed an ancient cemetery, and the mutants' temporary cries and power awakened a zombie that had been sleeping for five thousand years... no, it was the progenitor of mutants, an individual who called himself the Apocalypse.

He easily killed three of them with a power that the Swordholders could not comprehend, but the other two escaped. The two Swordholders who escaped quickly spread the news to the forum, and in a short time, a large number of nearby Swordholders formed teams to besiege him. At this time, they still thought he was just a relatively powerful Level 5 mutant.

Naturally, the Swordholder team, lacking both specific intelligence and sufficient strength, suffered a crushing defeat and retreated after losing most of its members (actually only about a hundred people). However, they also learned some information about the mutant's abilities.

The mutant who calls himself Apocalypse possesses superpowers that most other mutants have, and even mutant abilities such as molecular recombination. In a sense, Apocalypse himself is an "ultimate mutant" who combines the genes of most mutants.

If his abilities hadn't been still unable to interfere with the "Sword of Magic," the team of sword wielders who went there back then probably wouldn't have suffered a rout, but rather been completely wiped out.

In addition to these abilities that they could rely on themselves, the Swordholders also found a lot of information about this mutant through their exploration of the cemetery where Apocalypse was located and by looking back at Egyptian history.

Apocalypse's real name was En Shabba Nur, born in the First Dynasty of Egypt, the first mutant at the dawn of civilization.

He was abandoned by his parents at birth because of his unusual appearance—gray skin and blue lips (which the Swordholders speculated was due to mutant genes). As he grew up, he suffered setbacks in love because of his appearance, eventually becoming a villain, making him a typical tragic character.

Of course, compared to these, the swordholders were more concerned about the various abilities he displayed, especially why he was able to transcend the limits of human life and be reborn after five thousand years...

Through the efforts of hundreds of thousands of increasingly powerful sword-wielders, on the third day after the Apocalypse appeared, they found the source.

"Based on our observations, it is speculated that Apocalypse may be able to transfer his consciousness into a new body to gain a kind of immortality, and he may also gain the abilities of the body in this way. The various abilities he has now may have been obtained through this method."

"In addition, Apocalypse also has the ability to enhance the abilities of mutants, which can be seen from the few mutants who came into contact with Apocalypse."

"Fortunately, before he appeared, most of the mutants with powerful abilities like Magneto and Professor X had already disappeared. In this era, we only need to face Apocalypse, whose abilities are fixed and limited even if they change, rather than a mutant who can be infinitely powerful."

……

After determining Apocalypse's origins and abilities, the Swordholders quickly devised a countermeasure and, under the watchful eyes of various observers, launched a third attack on this being who was the first and possibly the last mutant in human history.

The text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly from different sources. A direct translation isn't meaningful as it's not a coherent sentence or paragraph. It seems to be a mix of Chinese characters, possibly from different sources, and possibly some other fragments. A literal translation would be nonsensical.

Awakening from a long slumber, this was Apocalypse's first thought upon learning of the current plight of mutants.

Human history shows that the weak, the vulnerable, and the backward are ruthlessly eliminated, showing no mercy for your pity. So, the mutants who were worshipped as gods five thousand years ago have become universally hated and are on the verge of extinction.

At this moment, the first mutant at the dawn of civilization felt not only anger but also powerlessness.

He didn't need much; as long as there was a mutant organization similar to the Brotherhood or the Institute of Mutants, he could use Apocalypse's abilities to replicate all mutant genes, and even further control and strengthen them, creating the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" to purify the world. However, reality did not give him this opportunity.

After discovering that Apocalypse possessed the ability to transfer his body, the Swordholders simply sealed off the entire Egyptian region, killing every mutant who tried to approach in the name of "slaying demons and eliminating evil." Given Apocalypse's current abilities and configuration, it was virtually impossible for him to break through the blockade of tens of thousands of Swordholders, whose average mutant abilities were at level four.

In this situation, even if Apocalypse has a lot of potential, it has no way to be unleashed and can only watch helplessly as its living space shrinks day by day... just like all mutant groups on Earth at this moment.

Marvel Universe: Chapter 865 Apocalypse (Part 2)

"come yet."

It was the dead of night in Egypt, and the civilians had long since been evacuated to distant places. Killing ordinary people was meaningless to the Swordholders; on the contrary, it would bring them considerable trouble. After all, the Swordholders were not a monolithic entity, except when dealing with "demons." A mistake made today could easily become an excuse for others to attack them in the future.

As for Apocalypse, being the first mutant, it's simpler. Unless it intends to give up its mutant genes and abilities, it will generally not choose ordinary people as its transfer targets.

When Apocalypse, who was stationed in the city center, raised his head, what came into view were tens of millions of streaks of light, falling to the earth with sharp whistles—

"boom----------!!!"

Although they were just swords weighing less than 1kg each, they displayed a power more terrifying than missiles when infused with an average level four magic power. This single attack almost destroyed most of the city, and the mutants hidden within, controlled by Apocalypse, were undoubtedly wiped out. Only the area around the center remained undamaged, protected by Apocalypse's power.

The sword wielders who witnessed this scene were not surprised. After communicating through the internal link of the "magic sword", they dispersed and formed a huge formation centered on Tianqi, encompassing most of the city.

Of course, Apocalypse, as the target, cannot simply endure the attack without retaliating.

"Fragile mortals, you are only fit to look up to my existence."

— Rather than a powerful declaration, it sounded more like a powerless wail of someone at the end of their rope.

Although it failed to shock or frighten anyone, his abilities as the original and strongest mutant were still extraordinary.

As the ground shook again after it had subsided, the building, along with the floor and stones, was pulverized into dust that flew into the air, obscuring everyone's view.

Just as the swordsmen were on high alert, a sudden gust of wind arose—an unusually strong wind.

Within seconds, a violent tornado and sandstorm suddenly formed around the area where Apocalypse was located. In the terrifying storm that blew cars away, the sword-wielders had to abandon their original formation and retreat, and for a moment they lost their lock on Apocalypse.

"Prepare for destruction!"

The rapidly spinning tornado dust storm suddenly stopped, and then exploded the next second.

Countless particles of dust and sand shot out at several times the speed of Mach, their molecular-level alterations giving them extraordinary strength. They left deep dents in the ground and walls, and the swordsmen who tried to hide behind cover could not withstand this dense barrage, which was even more terrifying than bullets. In an instant, various mournful cries and falling corpses became the main theme of the battlefield.

……

While satisfied with his own power, Apocalypse was also breathing heavily with some fatigue.

His abilities come from mutants, and the more mutants he controls, the stronger he becomes. However, when he awoke, mutants were almost extinct, and he was trapped in Egypt, unable to escape. His condition was similar to that of someone buried underground five thousand years ago. He had already given his all to achieve what he has now.

Admittedly, such abilities would have made them veritable "gods" five thousand years ago, beings worthy of mortal reverence and worship. But for Earth today...

When Apocalypse saw the second group of sword-wielders, also numbering nearly a thousand, approaching from the distant sky, it fell silent.

For the next period of time, Apocalypse truly told all the people of Earth that the god was called the "strongest mutant." Fossils turned to sand, gravity reversed, wind and rain were summoned, super strength, super speed, super body, molecular recombination... all kinds of mutant abilities appeared in his hands one after another, but the effects were getting worse and worse.

At first, they could kill hundreds of swordsmen in an instant, but gradually it became hundreds, dozens... and in the end it was almost just one-sided beatings.

If he hadn't possessed an immortal body at the molecular level, he would probably have died from being pierced by a thousand swords long ago.

"Huff... huff... give up, mortals... you can't kill me. Even if you defeat me ten thousand times, I will awaken again, and you will live the rest of your lives in my nightmares..."

Seeing the sky, whose head had clearly been severed but had grown back again, Xuehai Sword Xu Hongcai's face turned ugly. After a long while, he sighed as if giving up on something: "Summon the sword."

(f1) Zero doubts abandoned 59IHV nine "Haha, use whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve, but the outcome will not change!"

With a flash of sword light, the head of the weather was severed again, silencing his nonsense. The swordsmen then retreated a considerable distance and made a strange move amidst the various prying eyes that had been watching them.

“Ning Feng, disciple of Qionghua, please grant me your sword.”

“Wen Junhui, disciple of Qionghua, please grant me your sword.”

"Disciple of Qionghua..."

"Disciple of Qionghua..."
