A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts - Chapter 922
c922 It’s a win-win situation, the powerful ability of Apocalypse
“What about you?” Hill asked meaningfully, “What is your purpose?”
“Of course, to eliminate future troubles!” Stryker said calmly, “I brought enough explosives to completely blow up the pyramid.”
“Do you think we will believe it?”
“No, but this is the fact. We welcome the supervision of SHIELD agents.”
“Colonel Stryker, I have heard about your attitude towards mutants, and I can vaguely guess why you are here.”
“So what?” Stryker’s tone became colder, “Can you stop me or convince me?”
Hilton paused, “Colonel Stryker, do you know the consequences of doing this?”
“I know, then do you know why so many people support my current actions?” Stryker smiled slightly smugly, “We all have the same idea.
If it succeeds, humans will lose a powerful enemy. If it fails, humans will also recognize the reality and realize the seriousness of the problem.”
Only God knows how long he has waited for this day. All mutants deserve to die.
But so far, for some reason, only mutants themselves and those who have really come into contact with mutants will reluctantly believe in the existence of mutants.
What’s even more outrageous is that the superiors asked these very few people to keep it secret for the sake of the overall situation. Even if they accidentally leaked it, not many people would believe it.
This has led to the fact that most humans don’t know about mutants. They have been living in a false peace and have no idea that there is such a group of strange lives in the dark that threaten the status of humans.
However, the appearance of the three stone tablets gave him a glimmer of hope. As long as Apocalypse escapes, everyone will know the existence of mutants, and they will have nowhere to hide.
Both the military and the government will set up organizations targeting mutants. They will receive unprecedented support, and the unfavorable situation will be reversed in an instant.
“Colonel Stryker, we can solve the problem in a more gentle way.” Hill argued, “Humanity is not ready yet…”
“But mutants are not ready either.” Stryker interrupted impatiently, then looked at Barton and Natasha, “I don’t know how much you know, but as the person who knows mutants best, believe me… the threat of mutants is definitely no less than that of the alien Chitauri army.
Mutants need more time than humans, and the so-called overall situation of those people will give them time to grow and develop.
SHIELD wants to maintain balance, but doesn’t Nick Fury know how much danger this distorted balance will bring to humans?
If he still has a little sense of responsibility and shame, he shouldn’t let you stop us.
Mutants deserve to die, none of their dirty genes are innocent.”
Listening to Stryker’s aggressive and righteous words, Hill and the other two looked at each other, and inevitably felt a little shaken in their hearts.
But the last sentence directly brought them back to reality. Stryker was too extreme. Not all mutants deserved to die. In comparison, they would rather maintain the status quo.
“I have to inform the director.” Hill said unnaturally, but as soon as she took out her mobile phone, Yuriko grabbed her wrist.
At this moment, Natasha’s gun was also against Yuriko’s chin.
But she was not afraid at all, and even showed a sarcastic smile.
The scene suddenly became quiet, and the SHIELD agents and military soldiers also quietly confronted each other.
“Do you want to try?” Natasha smiled meaningfully, “You may not be simple, but my gun is not something that can be found everywhere, especially… the bullets inside.
Fury is too stingy, and he will only approve a few bullets for me when I am on a mission.”
Yuriko’s face changed slightly, and she subconsciously looked at William Stryker.
“Alchemical bullets?” Stryker thought, “Sometimes I really envy your SHIELD. It’s fine if you have the best technological resources, but you can even recruit an alchemist.”
“Just a little luckier.” Natasha said expressionlessly.
“Don’t be nervous, Yuriko.” Stryker gave her a look, and Yuriko slowly let go of Hill’s hand and quietly stepped aside.
“Sorry, Agent Hill, Yuriko may be a little excited, but she won’t be next time.
Also, if you want to notify Fury, it’s better to be quick.
If he can negotiate with my boss, SHIELD and the military will have fewer misunderstandings in the future.”
Hill smiled far-fetchedly, and took Natasha and Barton to distance themselves from Stryker.
“Who is that Yuriko?” Hill frowned and said, “Just now she gave me a feeling of having a knife on my neck.”
“A mutant.” Barton said confidently, “At least level three, and her mutant ability should not be afraid of bullets.
There was a playful look in her eyes just now, and she didn’t seem to worry about Natasha shooting at all, but the alchemical bullet should be able to cause damage to her.”
“But why would Stryker recruit a mutant as an assistant?”
“That woman was controlled, and her condition is very similar to that of the Winter Soldier.” Natasha said seriously, “Maybe it’s crystals, maybe special drugs, or more seriously, brainwashing transformation.”
Hill sighed slightly and immediately called Nick Fury.
“What’s the situation?”
“As expected, the military has taken control of Apocalypse’s mausoleum, and they plan to completely destroy this place.”
“Didn’t you tell them the seriousness of the matter?”
“William Stryker is leading the team, and you know him, whether he succeeds or fails, he never loses.
Not only him, but the people behind him also think this way. ”
Nick Fury was silent for a few seconds, “Get ready to withdraw! SHIELD probably won’t be able to get involved in Apocalypse.”
“Are we going to retreat now?” Hill asked unwillingly.
“The agreement on mutants was signed by multiple forces, and the emphasis is on first come, first served.
We have the right to participate in cooperation, but they also have the right to refuse if they have different opinions. ”
“Okay!” Hill looked back at William Stryker, who was arranging soldiers to plant explosives. “I will lead the people to retreat. Anyway, staying here is just humiliating yourself.”
“And it’s dangerous.” Natasha added, then took Hill’s cell phone, “Fury, I was in a hurry just now and forgot to mention something.”
“What’s up?”
“There is not only one stone tablet. Before that, Stryker found two stone tablets and also found someone to translate them.
The first piece is the agreement between En Shaba Nur and the other gods that Egypt will be his kingdom.
The second piece is the prophecy left by the prophet. The prophet predicted that En Saba Nur would escape the seal one day in the future, and mutants would also appear in the eyes of the world because of him.
However, his ambition will eventually fail, and the reason for the failure seems to be…a phoenix. ”
“Good news, Natasha, this is really good news.” Nick Fury paused for a moment and said, but then changed the subject, “But are you kidding me? Where can I find a phoenix? ah?”
“I don’t know about this. Due to the age, the stone tablets have been severely weathered, causing the second half of the prophecy to be missing. However, I have found all three stone tablets…”
“Bring them back, quickly.”
“Okay, Fury.
There is one more thing that I feel the need to remind you.
The conflict between mutants and ordinary humans will definitely break out. SHIELD needs some special weapons, and ordinary bullets may not be able to meet the demand. ”
“You mean…” Nick Fury raised his eyebrows slightly, “You want me to ask Gaius to order another batch of alchemy ammunition?”
“It has to be, Fury.
Rather than spending time developing weapons that target a certain mutant ability, alchemical bullets are definitely a suitable choice. ”
“Aaron has made it clear that he needs to improve his alchemy skills and will no longer sell alchemy bullets to others.”
“Explain the situation to him and he will understand. At the worst, he will pay more.”
“If more money could solve the problem, I wouldn’t say so much.” Nick Fury said speechlessly, “The problem is that he now has a mutant girlfriend. Do you think he will make alchemical bullets for us to deal with mutants? ”
“Ah…” Natasha fell into a brief silence, “The conditions are negotiable!
He is a refined egoist, and I don’t think he would side with the mutants just because of his girlfriend. ”
“Okay! I will arrange for Coulson to talk to him.”
“Well…” Natasha hesitated, “If you have made a decision, it is best not to hate him during this period.
You know what I’m going to say, that compass… just don’t bother with it! ”
“Fuck Fuck!” Nick Fury cursed and hung up the phone.
“Can’t he use another word when he curses?”
“It’s time to get used to it, Natasha.” Hill put away his phone and reluctantly led the SHIELD agents to evacuate the ruins.
…
“Sir, the SHIELD people are gone.” Yuriko said.
“They are self-aware.” Stryker said with disdain, “After installing the bomb, it’s time for us to withdraw.”
“Shall we withdraw too?”
“En Saba Nur is a mutant.” There was undisguised hatred in Stryker’s voice, “Who knows what weird abilities mutants have?
Moreover, it is clearly recorded on the stone tablet that the mutant body he replaced before being sealed had the ability to heal itself.
You also have the ability to heal yourself. Can an explosion kill you? ”
Yuriko Koyama was stunned for a moment, “I will arrange for the soldiers to prepare for retreat.”
…
Boom boom boom!
Explosions sounded one after another, and the ground above the ruins collapsed, forming a huge pit.
In the center of the huge pit, a golden pyramid was buried by the sand, leaving only a golden spire exposed.
At the same time, William Stryker was watching the footage transmitted back by the drone on a tablet on the helicopter, and Nick Fury was also watching the satellite projection in the office with bated breath.
So hard.
The two of them looked at the undamaged golden spire and secretly thought to themselves in unison.
While they were wondering, the mysterious runes on the surface of the pyramid seemed to come alive. They emitted a bright but not dazzling golden light, flowing down along the lines like liquid gold.
Deep in the pyramid, in a dark and oppressive space, two stone platforms stand side by side in the center of the altar.
On one of the stone platforms was a decayed body, and on the other stone platform was a strange human being wearing ink-colored armor and having blue skin.
The golden liquid flowed from bottom to top onto the stone platform, and Tianqi, who accepted his own consciousness, suddenly opened his eyes that had been closed for more than five thousand years.
“Well…”
Tianqi took a deep breath and subconsciously felt his new body.
Just then he saw the ceiling that was almost touching his face, and the huge amount of stones that blocked the surroundings.
Apocalypse realized his situation. He was locked in a small space, unable to stretch his body, and even couldn’t lift his head.
Apocalypse didn’t know what happened, but he was sure that the first thing he had to do was to get out of this place.
The next moment, Apocalypse’s pupils turned white, and a purple energy aura burst out from his body and spread to the surroundings.
The ground began to shake violently, and countless stones trembled and rose, but were worn into pieces by this powerful power.
The pyramid slowly rose from the ground and quickly weathered and melted. Apocalypse also saw the sun and sky for the first time in a long time.
“Launch!” Nick Fury picked up the phone and ordered, “Although it may be useless, at least we can analyze part of his ability.”
As soon as the voice fell, three Quinjet fighters flew over Cairo, and the three pilots pressed the launch button almost at the same time.
Three Jericho missiles flew out with a whizzing sound. These three missiles split into hundreds of small missiles in mid-air and landed accurately towards the half-weathered pyramid.
Apocalypse, who had just stood up, noticed this scene and raised his right hand with disdain.
Hundreds of missiles all stopped in mid-air, unable to move forward at all.
However, Apocalypse, who had just awakened, was too unfamiliar with the era thousands of years later. He stopped the missiles from moving forward, but failed to stop them from exploding.
Boom!
Accompanied by bursts of explosions, the flames completely engulfed the pyramid with a powerful impact, raising huge smoke and dust.
“Haha! SHIELD is still a little useful.” Stryker looked at the screen and smiled, “What is Apocalypse’s mutant ability?”
“Currently, it shows telekinesis and molecular control.” Yuriko said in a deep voice.
“If it were you, what would be your chances of winning against him?”
“No chance.” Yuriko shook her head solemnly, “His abilities are very powerful, with a wide range and almost no limits.
Maybe just one encounter would make me lose my ability to resist, and my self-healing ability would only make me die slower.”
“Okay, that’s great.” Stryker was excited, with a smile on his face.
He was not afraid that the mutant ancestor was not strong, but that he was not strong enough.
If Apocalypse was not so powerful, they would only release a powerful mutant even if they released him, which would not affect the current situation at all.
Only if Apocalypse was strong enough, unscrupulous enough, and even lawless enough, would humans face the threat of mutants and tear apart the false peace.
