"Oh, though I were to go to hell, I would curse you!"
Amid a series of wails, Apocalypse, born in the First Dynasty of Egypt in 3000 BC and one of the longest-lived mutants in the history of the Earth, was quickly turned into nothingness in the Phoenix fire of Jean Grey.
Until he died, he had never figured out why the other party had expended enormous energy to wake him up, and gave him energy to restore him to his peak state. He kept saying that he wanted to be friends with him, and he really treated the other party as a friend.
How come just after shaking hands, in the blink of an eye, the woman next to him killed him?
Levi didn't care about the wailing of the dead at all. From beginning to end, he truly devoted his strength to Apocalypse.
In the end, it was Jean Grey who killed you. What does it have to do with me, Levi?
As for the abilities that were copied when I shook hands with you, just consider them as your return gift.
It has to be said that as a very famous BOSS of the X-Men, Apocalypse's abilities are not only comprehensive, but also very strong.
Even if we remove those abilities that he already possesses and are even more powerful, Apocalypse still has several worth mentioning.
The first is self-molecular manipulation. By changing its own molecular structure, Apocalypse can allow himself to deform, regenerate, change size, etc.
Theoretically, as long as he has this ability, Levi will become an enhanced version of Ant-Man + Mystique.
No need for the power of science or magic, just the pure abilities of mutants.
Yes, it is that powerful, but Apocalypse has never thought highly of this ability. He only uses its most basic function, which is self-healing. This is such a waste.
Well, but it seems that Levi has no chance to use it at the moment.
Levi had never fought any tough battles. He always eliminated his opponents quickly and efficiently after obtaining intelligence in advance and having overwhelming strength.
The ability to disguise or heal oneself is becoming increasingly difficult to use.
The second is spiritual immortality. Apocalypse can achieve disguised immortality by constantly replacing new bodies.
At the same time, after the transfer, by expending a small amount of energy, Apocalypse can permanently acquire the abilities of the new body, and these abilities can be retained when he changes to the next body.
The original Apocalypse was not actually that powerful, and many of his abilities were acquired in the process of constantly transferring his bodies.
In a sense, this can be regarded as a super monkey version of the replication system.
If Levi had not appeared, theoretically Apocalypse could have lived until at least the 39th century and would still be the ruler of the world in the future.
Next are energy emission and energy absorption. The former allows Levi to use any part of his body to emit energy, rather than being limited to Cyclops.
As long as he wanted, he could easily launch the Six Meridians Divine Sword with his fingers, or be more extreme and use his second brother or something.
Energy absorption is somewhat similar to Carol's ability. As long as the enemy cannot break the defense limit at one time, part of the energy will be absorbed and converted, and then used by him.
Next is Apocalypse's most famous and best ability - energy sharing, or Levi prefers to call it the gift of power.
By consuming a certain amount of energy, Apocalypse can enhance the abilities of others.
This kind of improvement can be temporary or permanent. Apocalypse has always been very generous in the past and has basically never used temporary ones.
It can be targeted strengthening based on the opponent's original ability, or it can be completely ignored and simply depend on the appearance.
It is precisely because of this special ability that after almost every resurrection, Apocalypse will gather four younger brothers and name them the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. As his loyal younger brothers, all they care about is their appearance.
And this gift is not limited to mutants, even ordinary people can enjoy it.
But now, all these abilities have become his, and Levi decided to go back and try them out on Skye, Colleen and others one by one.
You can never have too much power with absolutely no side effects.
If he had to point out a weakness, it would probably be that once a power is bestowed, Apocalypse cannot easily take it back, which has led to him being betrayed many times in the past.
For example, there was a guy code-named "Mr. Sinister" who betrayed Apocalypse about 150 years ago in the Victorian era of Britain and caused Apocalypse's current sleep.
That’s right, Apocalypse has not been sleeping since the Egyptian times until now.
This incident also made Mister Sinister the most hated enemy of Apocalypse. Just after waking up, he was obsessed with dealing with the other party.
And now, Mr. Sinister has also been included in Levi's small task list.
It's not about revenge for Apocalypse or anything, but as far as Levi knows, Mister Sinister started studying genes and heredity more than 100 years ago, and he can be considered a rival of Darwin.
Darwin was just conducting research, but he was very radical, a bit like Magneto today, and believed that mutants would eventually replace humans.
However, their original intentions are completely different. Magneto may have some selfish motives, but he is more concerned about the mutant community.
Mister Sinister is just the opposite. To him, other mutants are basically just experimental materials.
After his wife was persecuted to death by ordinary people because of his shocking statement, he turned completely evil.
After being strengthened by Apocalypse, he became even more powerful.
In many parallel universes, he even stole Jean Grey's genes and created a clone, who is the Red Queen - Madeline Pryor, one of the three queens of Marvel mutants, white, black and red.
Then he used many means to make the Red Queen replace Jean Grey and give birth to a child with Cyclops, who later became Krypton, also known as Cable.
At that time, neither Cyclops nor Professor X and others were able to notice anything unusual. It was not until the real Jean Grey returned that they realized there were two Jean Greys.
In addition to being the host of the Phoenix Force, Jean Grey is also an Omega-level mutant.
Even if her clone does not possess the power of the Phoenix, she is still one of the strongest mutants simply by relying on the mutant's superpowers.
Although Cyclops's actual combat performances are very poor and his brain doesn't work very well, his eyes are very special.
Marvel doesn't have many energy fields, and Cyclops' eyes are connected to one of them, which also possesses almost endless energy.
Theoretically, the offspring of the two of them would definitely be very powerful. Mister Sinister's original intention was to use Cable to fight against Apocalypse. He knew very well that Apocalypse would return sooner or later.
His plan was naturally thwarted by the X-Men, but Cable was made very successful. He is one of the most famous time travelers among mutants and Deadpool's most famous partner.
Levi wanted to see whether the other party had already started this plan. Since Jean had followed him, he would feel very disgusted if Mister Sinister created a clone of him and made out with someone else.
He also wanted to see, if he tried to kill Mister Sinister, and as a result, the Red Queen and Cable would not appear later, would Cable come back from the future and try to stop him?
In addition, Levi made several unexpected discoveries.
Vampires like Dracula actually once existed in this world, and Apocalypse had dealt with them before.
Then Apocalypse withstood the opponent's many dark spells and curses and slaughtered all the vampires to ensure that the opponent would never again be a threat to humans.
Although Apocalypse initially only wanted to maintain his own rule, it must be said that from this perspective, Apocalypse can indeed be regarded as a hero of mankind.
Dracula is extremely immortal. If he were in the orthodox main world, even the goddess of death, one of the five great gods, would not be able to kill Dracula.
Although everything in this world is a weakened version, including Dracula, it still took a lot of effort for Apocalypse to achieve this level, which is another reason why he fell into a deep sleep this time.
Of course, the number of mortals killed by the apocalypse is likely to be far greater than those killed by vampires.
In most cases, Apocalypse is very friendly to his fellow mutants, somewhat similar to Magneto, who hopes that mutants can be superior to ordinary humans.
But to ordinary people, Apocalypse can be completely described as a tyrant.
Similar to most emperor-level rulers, Tianqi can be said to have both merits and faults.
Then there is another little obsession of Apocalypse. He claims to be the strongest and oldest mutant in the world, but he was once defeated by a woman.
The other party is both a mutant and a magician. He claims to have lived for 17000 years and witnessed the development and rise and fall of the entire human history. His name is Selene Galio.
In Magneto's memory, the other party once forced the Black King of the Hellfire Club, Sebastian Shaw, to name her the Black Queen.
But the Black Queen only wanted the title, but almost never participated in any affairs of the Hellfire Club.
Even though Magneto and Professor X joined forces to defeat Shaw, and Magneto absorbed the remaining members of the Hellfire Club, such as the Red Devil, into his Brotherhood of Mutants, the Black Queen never appeared, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
In addition to immortality and magic, the Black Queen also has many special abilities, such as telepathy and space distortion, which are all considered common abilities.
There are two main special abilities. One is the dark form. In this special state, the Black Queen can bind the enemy into her body like black mud, or separate some tentacles to fix the enemy, etc.
During this period, the opponent's various abilities will be greatly weakened, and it will be almost impossible to escape successfully without rescue from other outsiders. When the Black Queen is attacked, the various damages she suffers will be greatly reduced.
The other is her most powerful ability - life absorption. She can extend her own life by absorbing the lives of others, and enslave them with her psychic powers.
If she absorbs all of a person's life force, the victim dies instantly and their body dissolves completely into nothingness, like a vampire exposed to daylight.
It is for this reason that when Apocalypse came into contact with the Black Queen by coincidence, he initially mistakenly thought that the other party was some kind of vampire hunter.
But Apocalypse soon discovered that he was wrong. Selene could actually be considered a soul vampire in a sense.
Ordinary vampires would at least leave a corpse behind after sucking blood, but after Selene kills her target, not only would she not leave anything behind, she might even continue to enslave the target's soul.
Levi had no idea how powerful the Black Queen of this world was, as he had never met her in person and Apocalypse had no memory of ever fighting with her.
But in a parallel universe, the Black Queen at her peak once used external objects to resurrect 16 million mutants in one fell swoop, and tried to absorb their souls to make herself a true god.
When her ritual began, all spellcasters across the planet felt a heavy pressure and the loss of power, even the Sorcerer Supreme at the time, Doctor Strange, was no exception.
Belasco, Mister Sinister, and the Black Queen can be considered three of the five hidden threats in this world.
Originally Apocalypse was one of them, but he had just been killed.
In comparison, Magneto and Professor X seem insignificant.
It’s not that the latter two lack the ability, but that they lack the determination.
If they were ruthless enough, Professor X and the brain wave amplifier alone would be enough to change the way the entire world operates and easily achieve Magneto's ultimate goal.
But no matter what, as long as Levi can deal with the three of them one by one, and then let Magneto successfully implement the human evolution action, this world will gradually meet Levi's expectations, and the mutants here will continue to provide him with new abilities for his subsequent replication.
As for the last threat, Levi also felt a little tricky because he couldn't take the initiative to deal with it for the time being.
Back when Apocalypse was a teenager in Egypt, a pharaoh suddenly displayed extraordinary strength and technology, and he even had a giant, sphinx-shaped spaceship.
Later, the other party even wanted to enslave Apocalypse, and succeeded at one point, but was eventually discovered and defeated by Apocalypse, and could only flee on a spaceship and disappeared.
Apocalypse has been searching for many years but has never been able to find the other person, but he is sure that the other person is not dead and will come back one day.
When Levi saw the image of the other person in Apocalypse's head, he immediately confirmed that the other person was the Conqueror - Kang!
If Cable is one of the most famous time travelers among mutants, then Kang the Conqueror is the most famous time traveler in the entire Marvel Universe, no doubt about it.
The original Kang is the descendant of Rubber Man Richard from the Fantastic Four more than a thousand years later, and his full name is Nathaniel Richards.
With the help of future technology, Kang can not only travel through time by himself, but also lead his legion to travel through time collectively.
He conquered countless time nodes, pruned them like branches from a big tree, and then transformed them according to his wishes.
In each world, his identity, personality, conquest plan, transformation plan, etc. may be different.
In this world he may be an alien, using alien technology; in another world he may be a primitive man, only using primitive brute force.
But no matter what, he, or they, have a common goal, which is to constantly create parallel worlds and turn these worlds into their own territories.
The most important thing is that after each goal is completed, there will be a him in each of these parallel worlds.
At first Kang thought this was a good thing, but later on, Kang gradually discovered that something was wrong and he could not control his variants.
Each Kang is independent, and they may engage in brutal battles with each other due to conflicts or interests.
At this point, let alone outsiders, even Kang himself doesn’t know how many Kangs there are.
In the world where the X-Men had already disappeared, which Levi reached before, there might be the Time Administration Bureau - TVA, or it might have been founded by a Kang.
Even if Levi killed one or two Kangs, it would be of no use. Kang is also the most difficult of the five major threats in this world.
If you want to solve Kang's problem once and for all, there is actually only one way, and that is to let Kang do it himself.
That’s right, many Kangs don’t want to see the emergence of other Kangs. They all want to be unique, and they have indeed taken practical actions and reliable plans.
It's just because their powers are roughly the same, they all rely on technology, and everyone plays similarly. Without the help of super strong external forces, it is basically difficult for them to truly achieve a comprehensive victory.
But if Levi had helped, the situation might have been completely different.
Coincidentally, Levi remembered that there seemed to be a Kang trapped in the quantum field.
After he kills Kang, Kang's legacy, that is, those time nodes and parallel worlds that were transformed by them, will all become his property!
Perhaps this is the second most abundant fortune he could possibly obtain since coming into this world.
As for the first one, it is naturally the power of the Phoenix.
Really, I just eliminated one threat, but found that there are still four threats. I am almost becoming the savior of this world!
After sorting out the information, Levi felt a wetness on the side of his face, and Jean Grey took the initiative to come close to him and kissed him again.
"Honey, did I do well just now?"
Levi smiled and nodded: "It's really good."
In order to completely replicate Apocalypse's abilities, he deliberately expended some of his energy to restore Apocalypse to its peak state.
In the end, Apocalypse was still killed instantly by Jean. It can only be said that when she was in the state of Dark Phoenix, she had no mercy or weakness at all. She had absorbed a lot of power from herself, so her fighting power was indeed terrifyingly strong.
Qin continued to act coquettishly: "Can I have some rewards? I just used up a lot of energy~"
She longed for Levi's abundant energy and vitality, but she had secretly calculated when they first met that she couldn't take it by force, so she could only use soft tactics.
She just changed her personality, but she didn't become stupid.
Coincidentally, Levi didn't refuse and she also enjoyed the process, so now she can't wait to play it several times a day.
Levi smiled and shook his head. It could be said that he did not reject the red-haired beauty in front of him just for the purpose of copying.
But after getting so much information from Tianqi's memory, how could he just enjoy himself? He should solve the problem first.
In fact, he has another bold guess, but he may need to do something here first and then get it confirmed after returning to Marvel.
"Don't worry, Qin, let's go deal with a small problem that might make someone uncomfortable."
Qin suddenly became interested: "Is it related to me?"
"I can't be completely sure yet, but I just think there might be."
As he spoke, Levi waved his hand to open a portal. Mr. Sinister was hiding very secretly, but both he and Danger easily found each other's location! (End of this chapter)
