Chapter 279: Apocalypse, who obsessed in Power

In the vast desert…

Standing in front of the majestic pyramid, Apocalypse absorbed the energy generated by the nuclear explosion into his shield. With a wave of his hand, his skill to control sand restored the desert to its original state. Looking at everything as it was, Apocalypse nodded in satisfaction.

At that time, there was fluctuation in the space. The black mist gathered, and the demon,  with a gaunt appearance, emerged from it in his human form.

As soon as he appeared, he fell on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. The way he looked, he would feel better if he threw up blood.

Apocalypse walked towards him and placed his hand on the demon.

After touching the demon, Apocalypse was more surprised.

He could clearly feel that the demon’s body was badly hurt and almost all his guts were broken.

It was the demon’s will and heart that made him come back at his last breath.

The demon heart was the power of the ancient demons, and the demon that had this heart could use the power of fear.

When the demon heart appeared, people within miles around would be gripped by fear.

Weak people would be filled with terror and obediently become the demon’s slaves. They would then give him their humble strength.

The demon who absorbed the strength could make his body more powerful. When the demon evolved into a level 5 mutant, he gained this powerful skill. And now, Apocalypse discovered that because of the overbearing power destroying the demon was intertwined with the power of fear.

If he wanted to save the demon, he must disperse the overbearing power remaining within the demon.

In this way, the demon could be rescued with the blood of Apocalypse.

Thinking of this, Apocalypse decided to connect with this overbearing power. He injected his huge mental power into the demon, slowly approaching this domineering strength. Soon, he knew the demon’s feelings.

He felt like he was being stepped on the ground by a big foot. And no matter how he raised his head, he couldn’t see the big foot. The only thing he could feel was the opponent’s great power!

Apocalypse did not give up and continued to increase the rate of absorption of energy, and he began to resist with his hands on the ground.

At the same time, a hole was opened at the top of the pyramid. The sunlight shone into the pyramid. Then, the pyramid transferred the energy from underground to Apocalypse through the runes.

In the process, Gambit and Storm behind Apocalypse were slightly surprised. The two could see a golden river under their feet, slowly being injected into Apocalypse’s body.

“Ah!” Apocalypse, who received energy infusion, finally raised his head, and golden light appeared in his eyes.

He tried to raise himself again. Finally, he who was stomped down by the big foot saw various patterns painted on the foot.

There were ruthless killers, people facing death, and mutants with different skills. Various forms of strength converged into the monstrous power suppressing the demon.

Apocalypse, being inside the demon’s body, had also become a bearer of this pressure.

It turned out that the strength that pressed him represented the Rules of Thrones!

Apocalypse suddenly woke up. His reaction was quick, and it didn’t take long before he showed a more excited expression than that when he encountered Charles’ mind control skill.

After all, this was what he wanted most for thousands of years.

Power!

Unexpectedly, someone transformed the power that he pursued all his life into a kind of heavenly strength, which pressured him almost out of breath.

Although he was suppressed, he felt very excited! What if he could obtain this strength?

He wanted to control Charles in order to gain power. But now, he saw directly the result of having the power.

At that moment, he made a bold decision! He wanted to transfer this strength from the demon to his own body!

As his will grew, the gap at the top of the pyramid widened again, and the light that poured into it began to be surrounded by lightning.

Crackle!

He made it!

He desperately absorbed the strength from the outside world, and forcibly pulled the residual strength into his body. Then, he fell to the ground.

The demon opened his vertical eye and slowly stood up. When he got up, he knew exactly what Apocalypse had done to him.

At this time, Apocalypse gave the demon a command through spiritual transmission.

“Hurry up! Get me out of here and into the pyramid!

Whoosh!

Two giant bat wings emerged from the demon’s back. The demon took Apocalypse in his arms and flew towards the pyramid.

Inside the pyramid…

Sabertooth, dressed in black armor, stood next to a sarcophagus engraved with runes.

He had been waiting for a long time.

The demon walked in and placed Apocalypse on the sarcophagus.

Instantly, all sides of the stone bed lit up at the same time like an integrated circuit. A dense mass of light illuminated Apocalypse.

His body was shaking violently.

The four horsemen stood by with their own thoughts.

After a while, Apocalypse woke up. When he did, he looked uncertain.

Originally, he wanted to turn this strength into his own. After all, this strength had done most of its work in the demon’s body, and now, it was only like a spent arrow.

However, just such a little power of will almost exhausted his strength, and he failed to achieve his goals.

Apocalypse knew that the person with this strength had taken one step ahead of him. This step was the distance between the gods and the true gods!

But through this contact, he finally began to touch the threshold of this step. He opened the lid of the sarcophagus and sent himself into the sarcophagus regardless of anything. He wanted to comprehend this strength!

Before entering the sarcophagus, Apocalypse gave the order to guard the pyramid to the four knights, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Inside Xavier school…

After controlling Angel to return to the medical room, Bruce pulled God’s Telekinesis from Angel’s body.

Knowing Apocalypse’s decision, Bruce was slightly surprised. He did not expect that Apocalypse would be so obsessed with power just like Hela back then.

However, what he was more interested in now was the demon who could survive the divine punch.

In his impression, no one on Earth except Gray Jean, the host of the Phoenix Law, could ward off the punch.

Even if he was using four-wings Angel’s body and did not fully exert this strength of the punch, the demon should be still dead! However, he didn’t die, so Bruce became interested in the demon’s body.

There must be something tricky about it.

Since he had touched the demon through Angel’s body, Bruce checked the information on the strengthened demon.
