A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts - Chapter 927
c927 Eric’s plan, Apocalypse’s domineering declaration
A day later, Caliban came to a cliff by the sea.
He looked at the cave entrance hidden deep in the cliff from a distance and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was still very concerned about the mission assigned by Apocalypse, because no matter how unhappy he was, he had to be timid in the face of an existence that could kill him in an instant with just a glance.
“Finally found it.” Caliban whispered to himself, with a gleam in his eyes.
He walked towards the cliff, and the closer he got, the more cautious he became.
After all, Magneto was not a kind character, and he might be gone if he was hit casually.
Bang!
A figure suddenly jumped down from the cliff more than ten meters high, staring at Caliban with unkind eyes, and his long tongue spit out mucus like a whip.
“I’m a mutant.” Caliban hurriedly stated his identity. “I’m a friend of Mystique, and I’m here to find Eric Lanchel.”
The Toad Man tilted his neck and looked at Caliban seriously, “Wait.”
After saying that, he jumped up high, did a backflip and stuck to the steep rock wall, and jumped into the cave with a few moves.
Caliban waited for half a minute, and a slippery tongue suddenly wrapped around his waist, and before he could react, he was pulled up by the tongue.
After a dizzy spell, Caliban fell to the ground in a daze.
“Sorry, the Toad Man’s way of leading people seems a little casual.
But compared to the saber-toothed tiger, he is at least not so rude.” Magneto, wearing a brown metal helmet that can block telepathy, walked out from the depths of the cave, “You are looking for me?”
“Magneto, I have heard of you for a long time.” Caliban stood up and smiled politely.
Then he looked at the blue-skinned Mystique standing next to Magneto, “Long time no see, Raven.”
“It’s been a long time, but what do you, an intelligence dealer, want to find us for?”
“It’s very important, very important, it may be related to the survival of mutants.”
Magneto frowned slightly, “Tell me.”
“I wonder if you have heard of Apocalypse?”
“The one in the Bible?” Mystique asked.
“Maybe!” Caliban didn’t keep the secret and said directly: “Apocalypse is a very powerful mutant, maybe the ancestor of all our mutants.”
“Never heard of it.” Toad Man said indifferently.
“I don’t know how long he has lived, but it must be much longer than the ages of us combined.
Now that he is back, he is forming his own team, and he will officially start a war between humans and mutants.”
“Start a war? Form a team?” Magneto raised his lips slightly, and said with a playful smile: “It seems that he is not as pedantic as Charles, but the war is still too hasty, and the chances of mutants winning against humans are not high.”
“Apocalypse is very confident. He is a level 4 peak mutant with many abilities.
The most outrageous one is…” Caliban paused and said solemnly: “He can enhance the abilities of other mutants.”
“What did you say?”
Magneto stood up in astonishment, and Mystique and Toad Man also restrained their expressions.
A level 4 peak mutant with multiple abilities may not even be Magneto’s opponent, and there seems to be nothing in the world that can threaten such a strong man.
But no matter how powerful he is, he is just an individual. The power of an individual is very small in front of the huge numerical advantage and continuous development of human technology.
Magneto understands this point very well. It is difficult for humans to threaten him, but he alone cannot lead the small number of mutants with different minds. He can only deter humans like nuclear weapons so that they will not go too far with mutants, but the effect is only minimal.
But if Apocalypse has the ability to strengthen mutants, it will be different. This is simply a blessing for mutants, and it can enhance the overall strength of mutants to a certain extent.
“How much can he strengthen? How does he strengthen? Are there any side effects?” Mystique asked hurriedly.
“Uh… I don’t know much about this.” Caliban said awkwardly, “But he can make Psylocke’s telekinetic blades several times larger with just one look.
There is also a winged mutant nicknamed Angel, whose wings were severely injured and it was almost impossible for him to fly.
But after Apocalypse passed away, his wings grew back and became steel wings that can emit feathers.”
“Interesting.” Magneto smiled, “You came here to tell me this?”
“Not exactly.” Caliban pursed his lips and said nervously, “I’m here to recruit you on his behalf.”
“Recruit me?”
“Apocalypse wants to form his four knights, just like the Bible 》.
Psylocke and Angel are the two knights he chose, and he chose you as the third. ”
“Arrogant.” Toad Man said indignantly, “Magneto will not…”
“Toad Man.” Magneto waved his hand and interrupted him, “I can go and meet him. If he can really lead the mutants to rise, it’s okay to work under him.
If he can’t or fails, then it’s not too late for us to carry out our plan. ”
“Caliban, you should have other purposes, right?” Mystique asked meaningfully, “From what I know about you, you won’t come to us alone, unless you have something you don’t want them to know. ”
“I want to come out and take shelter.” Caliban spread his hands in embarrassment, “To be honest, I don’t think Apocalypse will succeed, and the consequences of failure will be very serious, plus he himself is too dangerous, so. ..”
“I understand, you can stay here.” Magneto said indifferently, “But there are conditions.”
“What conditions?”
“Find us someone, a mutant.”
“Can you be more specific?”
“We need a mutant who can absorb and use the mutant powers of others.”
“Eric, what do you think?” Mystique seemed to have thought of something, her eyes full of questions.
Magneto sighed helplessly, “If I come directly, it may cause damage to my body, but if there is a buffer, this problem can be avoided to a large extent.
Originally I planned to ask you to find such mutants, but now that Caliban is here, it may be easier to find them. ”
Mystique nodded slightly, then looked at Caliban, “You can definitely find it, right?”
Caliban frowned in confusion, “I will look for him, if such a mutant really exists.”
“Remember what you said, don’t try to deal with us.”
“I don’t have the courage.” Caliban sneered, “And Mystique is here, she will supervise me.”
…
Underground black market.
After Toad Man drove Magneto to Caliban’s intelligence room, he sent him back.
When Lingdie and Angel saw the arrival of this legendary figure, they couldn’t help but become vigilant.
“Don’t be so nervous. So far, I have never actively harmed my compatriots.” Magneto said gently, “I’m here. Where is Apocalypse?”
“I have informed the master, but I just have to wait for a while.” Psylocke pretended to be calm and said, “Where is Caliban? Didn’t he come back with you?”
“I need his help with something, and you may not be able to see him in a short time.”
Spirit Butterfly frowned slightly, and just as she was about to say something, a lavender portal opened next to her.
Apocalypse walked out of the portal. Behind him was a ruins, but the several standing stone pillars and the carvings on the broken walls proved that the ruins were very old.
“Child, I have been waiting for you.” Apocalypse looked at Magneto, who was over fifty years old, and said something very inconsistent.
“Child? You call me child?” Magneto sneered, “When the two of us stand together, anyone with a discerning eye can tell who is the child at a glance.”
“I existed five or six thousand years ago, and all mutants are my children.”
“What did you say?” Magneto couldn’t believe it. He knew that Apocalypse lived long enough, but this length was a bit ridiculous.
Spirit Butterfly and Angel are even more proud. They actually followed an immortal, and their future must be infinitely bright.
Apocalypse opened a portal in front of Magneto, “Come and see! My child.”
Magneto didn’t know why, but he followed them into the portal.
…
Auschwitz.
After Magneto came out of the portal, he saw a large group of buildings that had gone through vicissitudes of life but were deserted.
Even though he had experienced too much, he couldn’t help but feel a little lost at this moment. He didn’t expect Apocalypse to bring him to this place.
Auschwitz, one of the labor camps and extermination camps established during Nazi Germany, where his parents died, was the biggest nightmare in his life.
“This is the place where your power was born, and where your relatives were brutally slaughtered.”
Magneto looked at the bloody barbed wire, his eyes reddened, and painful memories replayed in his mind, “You shouldn’t have brought me here.”
“Why? Are you afraid to face this?
You can’t escape Eric. ”
“Who are you anyway?”
“En Saba Nur, this is my real name.” Tianqi said calmly, “Some people also call me Elohim, God, and Ra.
I’ve had so many different names in different eras.
I was born in death, and my mission is to ignite the spark of human awakening and promote the rapid rotation of the gears of civilization.
I will light this fire when the trees have become a forest and there is nowhere for new life to grow. ”
Magneto’s expression moved slightly, and he asked with an angry tone, “Where were you at that time? Where were you when my parents were killed here?”
Hearing this, Tianqi’s indifferent pupils showed obvious anger, “I have been plotted against.”
“Who can plot against you? If you are really a god.”
“The only person who can plot against God is another God.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about Thor in The Avengers.
Gods also have strengths and weaknesses. In my eyes, he is just a slightly stronger child. ”
“What about Odin?” Magneto asked tentatively.
“Ha!” Apocalypse raised his lips slightly, “As long as Thor doesn’t die, the God King has no reason to care about what happens on earth.”
“An alien god designed my people to seal me, and also set up a powerful magic circle to subtly erase my memory. If I hadn’t gone to explore some ancient ruins, I might not have discovered this problem for a while. But…” Tianqi showed a mysterious smile, “In a sense, I should thank him. He sealed me, but for me, such a seal is just a sleep in the dark.
But he also expelled other pantheons, and now I’m back, and the people who can stop me are gone.
It’s not a loss in exchange for a once-in-a-lifetime sleep to have an unprecedented rule more than five thousand years later. ”
“I was absent while you suffered, my child.
But now I’m here. ” Tianqi said earnestly, “You don’t understand the power you have, but I know, I know how powerful you are. ”
“Close to the ground.” Apocalypse grabbed Eric’s hand and pressed it to the ground, his voice was bewitching, “Feel the metal contained in the ground.
Go as deep as you can into the core of the earth and you will find that you have the power to shake the earth. ”
Magneto tried to do as Apocalypse said, and the magnetic field was stirred by some force, and the gravel on the ground began to gather towards the palm.
His mind couldn’t help but recall those painful memories. His parents were brutally murdered by the German army, right in front of his eyes.
His wife and daughter were maliciously reported, but he was still a step too late and failed to save them.
He wasn’t that extreme at the beginning. It was the malice of the world that pushed him into the abyss time and time again. He couldn’t look back, and he didn’t want to look back.
Under the huge fluctuation of emotions, Magneto’s face turned red and he used his abilities to the extreme.
The powerful superpower stirred up the surrounding magnetic field, and the huge abandoned concentration camp suddenly turned up earth and rocks.
The ground trembled slightly, lightning flashed and thundered in the sky, countless materials flew into the air under the influence of the magnetic field, and the originally intact building was completely destroyed.
Apocalypse opened his hands and his voice shook the world, “Everything built by the world will eventually collapse, and then among the ruins, we will rebuild a better world.”
…
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Tri-Wing Building.
Nick Fury looked at the images transmitted back by the satellite, his face became extremely ugly.
“Mom mess with Fake! Now we are in big trouble.”
“Fury, it seems that Apocalypse is reorganizing his Four Horsemen of Apocalypse.” Hill said solemnly.
“I can see that.
It doesn’t matter if they recruit Psylocke or Angel, Level 3 mutants can’t make any big waves.
But the problem is that Eric Lensherr actually joined his team, and you have seen Magneto’s abilities.
Control the magnetic field! Wherever he goes there are human-shaped natural disasters.
In the past, with Charles suppressing him, he would not cause large-scale destruction, but now…it’s hard to say. ”
“Sir.” Coulson said hesitantly, “There is something I don’t know whether to say or not.”
“Haha! I shouldn’t talk about it.”
“Uh… let me tell you something!” Coulson said with a smile, “I don’t think Magneto really surrenders to Apocalypse.”
“Huh! Huh?” Nick Fury was stunned for a moment, and then said after thinking for a while, “It’s not impossible.
If it was twenty years ago, Eric might really have fooled around with Apocalypse, but after going through so much, he would never give up his life to others easily. ”
“And his brotherhood of mutants didn’t come with him,” Coulson added, “so I presume Magneto didn’t really make a bet, but wanted to be a speculator.”
