Chapter 15

In the movies, Apocalypse was a mutant from ancient times. In the history of mankind, he had played the role of God, Apollo, Ares, and various other deities. In those days, Apocalypse kept changing his soul and obtained many superpowers. Gradually, he saw himself as a true deity.

In his almost endless life, he had only been betrayed once and was buried in the ground for thousands of years. After suffering that loss, Apocalypse felt that he would definitely become sovereign in this comeback. He had already learned everything about humans through wireless radio and felt confident this time round.

Who would have thought that he would encounter such a giant while he was recruiting allies?

As the creator of the Pyramid of Khufu, he knew Ancient Egypt very well, but he had never seen such a huge mummy. He had never seen such a mummy giant even in mythologies!

Earlier, Apocalypse had wanted to strengthen his superpower ten thousand times so that this younger brother he had chosen would be totally convinced and would submit to him.

Unexpectedly, this situation turned and directed at Tang Lin who was lying down to level up.

Strengthening other people’s superpowers also required Apocalypse to exhaust his own power. Originally, it was a piece of cake to strengthen another mutant’s power using Apocalypse’s power. However, when this strengthening effect landed on Tang Lin, a two-hundred-meter giant, it instantly drained Apocalypse dry.

Not only was the energy drained, but after activating this strengthening ability, it did not stop midway. It extracted most of Apocalypse’s vitality before barely completing this round of strengthening. If Apocalypse had not obtained a super strong self-healing ability, he would have been sucked dry.

What was even more hateful was that after this giant was strengthened, it actually went against him. It was no wonder that most giants in mythologies were evil. It was f*cking heartless!

In fact, Tang Lin didn’t want to fight Apocalypse. He wanted to flee. However, when the Goddess of Storm and Angel saw that Apocalypse was in a weakened state, they thought that he had been struck by the giant mummy. They were anxious to protect their master and thus attacked. Who knew that they would be instantly killed?

It was also because of this that Tang Lin realized that Apocalypse was in a weakened state and thus he gave him a kick.

In the face of danger, Apocalypse had no choice but to use the last of his strength to raise a protective shield. However, he only had time to protect himself. He couldn’t protect Psylocke, the beautiful lady beside him. Psylocke could only concentrate her psionic power into a light shield, but she was still stomped deeply into the ground.

Fortunately, the ground was made of soil and not reinforced concrete, so the two of them only sank into the ground at first. However, when the power of Tang Lin’s kick was completely unleashed, the collision with the ground caused a huge tremor. Psylocke couldn’t withstand it and was immediately concussed. Then, her body was crushed in this violent collision and mixed with the soil into an indistinguishable mess of flesh and blood.

Apocalypse’s energy shield was strong enough though. Even though Tang Lin stepped on it and crushed it a few times, it did not break. However, this energy shield, which should have been an absolute defense, could not completely offset the force of Tang Lin’s kick, causing Apocalypse’s withered face to spit out a few more mouthfuls of blood.

His self-healing ability was still tenaciously taking effect. He would not survive for now. As long as he was given some time, even if it were just a few minutes, he could rely on his self-healing ability to recover to his peak state. On the other hand, Apocalypse also had the ability to teleport over an extremely long distance. If he was given some time to catch his breath, he could teleport away and make a comeback.

Now, as soon as Tang Lin lifted his foot, Apocalypse would instantly activate his teleportation ability and leave this dangerous place.

Tang Lin was satisfied with this stomp, so he raised his foot to take a look at the fruits of his battle.

However, Apocalypse and Psylocke were too tiny in size and had completely sunk into the ground. He could not see if they were dead or alive.

Apocalypse heaved a sigh of relief in the soil. The giant had finally loosened his foot. He could also teleport away. When his body recovered, he would take revenge for this stomp and make him understand the consequences of annoying a god.

Just as he was about to use his teleportation ability, he suddenly felt dizzy. Someone had actually invaded his thoughts at this critical moment. The person who had attacked at this time was naturally Professor X. This telepath had used the brainwave enhancer to greatly increase his mental strength and invaded Apocalypse’s mind.

If Apocalypse was at his peak, Professor X would definitely not be his match. However, at this moment, Apocalypse was in an extremely weak state, and his mental strength had decreased greatly. He was now actually controlled by Professor X.

In the fierce battle just now, Professor X had not given up on watching. Apocalypse and Tang Lin’s mental strength were so strong that Professor X could not silently read their memories, but Angel, Storm Goddess, and Psylocke could not resist Professor X’s invasion.

From the memories of these three mutants, Professor X discovered Apocalypse’s ambition to rule Earth. At the same time, he also saw Apocalypse’s various powerful superpowers. This would be a very terrifying opponent, an opponent whom he had no chance of winning at all.

However, Apocalypse’s sudden weakness gave Professor X an opportunity. Taking advantage of the fact that Tang Lin had severely injured Apocalypse, Professor X controlled his thoughts. At this moment, Professor X could empathize with Apocalypse and clearly sense the weakness of his body. He knew that this was the best opportunity to kill Apocalypse.

Therefore, Professor X controlled Apocalypse’s body and crawled out of the ground, preparing to continue provoking Tang Lin so that Apocalypse would die at the hands of this giant mummy. However, Apocalypse would not simply sit and wait for death. His mental strength counterattacked in full force, fighting with Professor X for control of his body. The battle in his brain was intense, and Apocalypse’s body began to make all kinds of strange and stiff movements.

When Tang Lin saw Apocalypse get up from the ground, he felt that this Boss had really high HP to actually survive. Tang Lin now faced two choices. He could run away immediately and only return later to deal with this after he was out of this special state, or continue to attack Apocalypse, who was in low health now, to see if he could finish him off.

Tang Lin took half a second to think and came to a conclusion. Only children made choices, adults got to have it all!

Tang Lin once again raised his foot and stomped down on Apocalypse. If he didn’t die from one stomp, then he would use two, no, dozens of stomps!

He raised his foot and stomped down. Tang Lin kept repeating this action, causing the surrounding ground to crack like a magnitude nine earthquake.

At the same time, Tang Lin muttered in his heart, “System, open my skills interface!”

Without any delay, the emotionless system displayed the details of the mutated Stoneman’s Heart skill in front of Tang Lin.
