In the underground ruins, the earthquake caused violent shaking, with rocks crashing down and dust and sand swirling. It seemed like the ancient pyramid relic, still not fully unearthed, would be completely buried.

"Moira, why do you always end up in dangerous places? Like at the Hellfire Club last time," Caesar said while holding up the massive falling rocks with his hands as he looked at Moira, who was pale with fear. "If I had come a moment later, you'd probably be turned to mush."

"Well, at least you're here," Moira said, her panic subsiding abruptly as she saw Caesar. Her racing heart calmed down at once because, with Caesar around, nothing seemed like a problem, and every crisis would be resolved. That was the allure of his presence.

Caesar looked at the now face-sized exit and quickly said, "Hold on to me and close your eyes. I'll get you out of here."

Moira nodded, closed her eyes, and clung tightly to Caesar, curling up completely in his broad embrace.

Caesar shielded her with one arm, clenched his right hand into a fist, and then accelerated upward, charging towards the shrinking and burying exit.

On the surface, the relic's area was a ruin, overwhelmed by the quake. Bricks and stones had buried the original exit, and many Egyptians were fleeing in panic, with some even kneeling and begging for divine forgiveness.

At that moment, with a loud 'boom', the original relic exit exploded outward. A figure shot out like a missile. The sonic boom shattered the air, and Caesar soared into the sky, stirring up a dust storm that made many local witnesses cry out about the divine presence.

Caesar, with Moira in tow, landed in an oasis in the desert. After setting her down beside a lake, the earthquake that had swept across Egypt finally subsided.

"All right, it's safe now." Caesar set Moira down on the grass. Seeing the water nearby, Moira, disregarding its cleanliness, immediately rushed to drink from the lake and wash her dust-covered face.

"I am safe," Moira sighed in relief before lying back on the grass with her heaving chest.

"Now, tell me. What were you doing down that rat hole? There wouldn't be any national-level fugitives down there, would there?" Caesar teased.

"I'm afraid it's even more troublesome than a national-level criminal."

Moira propped herself up, her face serious as she said, "There were Egyptians performing a ritual beneath the pyramid relic. I suspect they were trying to awaken Apocalypse, who was recorded in the Bible."

"Apocalypse?" Caesar tilted his head in confusion.

Moira nodded, "Yes, Apocalypse. The first mutant in the world, who had all-encompassing power and claimed to be a god in the ancient era thousands of years ago."

"You mean he's revived?" Caesar's interest was piqued.

"I don't know. I didn't see Apocalypse myself," Moira shook her head. "But beneath the relic, I saw a very strange pyramid altar and felt an overwhelming mysterious power from it."

"The first mutant, an indigenous god of Earth? Interesting, very interesting!" Caesar's eyes brightened. 

He genuinely didn't want to intervene in mutant wars, as doing so every time a world crisis arose would make the world overly dependent on his presence.

Just like how, on Earth in the Marvel universe, when Kyle returns, local superheroes don't stay overly vigilant because they know the Symbol of Peace will always be there to handle any disaster.

While Kyle was originally a resident of the Marvel universe, for someone like Caesar, who could be seen as a drifter in the X-Men timeline, excessive interference could leave a huge mess for others to clean up after he's gone.

Thus, whenever a crisis or problem arises, Caesar prefers to guide or assist the heroes of that timeline rather than simply solve it on his own.

But now, hearing about the first mutant and an ancient human god, Caesar's interest was definitely sparked.

Regardless of Caesar's relaxed demeanor, the energy flowing through his steel-like body could power an entire city. 

With an extraordinary and top-tier gene body, when faced with an enemy of interest, his warrior spirit would ignite with fervor.

Indeed.

Caesar was also craving a long-overdue battle. However, in the current X-Men timeline, even mutants with level five or six abilities, such as Professor Charles, Magneto, and Quicksilver, were either not fully awakened or had let their powers languish in the peaceful era. This was not enough to pique his interest or desire for combat.

"Is the god of omnipotence really that impressive?" Caesar couldn't help but ask.

"Of course. In the Bible, he could grant powers to others and almost ruled the world," Moira replied naturally, unaware of his underlying thoughts.

Caesar continued, "Could he be beneath the pyramid relic we saw earlier?"

"Yes, according to the information, that's correct," Moira said, sensing something was off. "Caesar, why are you asking so many questions?"

"It's nothing. If he's still alive, I'd like to have a fight with him and see who's stronger," Caesar said eagerly. He had once been called the Son of God by people from Marvel's Earth, so fighting someone who claimed to be a god seemed like a fair match.

Moira was stunned. "Are you serious? He's a god from the old era! If you really plan to deal with him, you should at least inform Charles and the others."

"Charles and the others are busy. You stay here. I'll check it out. If this Apocalypse has truly revived, then it's just…"

Before Moira could respond, Caesar took off at high speed, instantly vanishing from the grassy area. No matter how much Moira shouted, he didn't turn back.

Staring at Caesar's disappearing figure in the sky, Moira was dumbfounded. "Is he going to fight a god? I really don't understand what he is thinking."

In the desert town where the pyramid relic was located, Caesar returned at top speed, directly crashing into the collapsed site where he had rescued Moira. His fists cleared a path, pushing aside the hard stones and sand.

Caesar broke through the layers of rock concealing the relic, delving deeper— twenty meters, fifty meters— until after a hundred meters, the traces of the relic became more distinct. He eventually arrived at a spacious underground altar.

Most of the underground altar was buried under sand and rock, with many fallen stone pillars showing cracks from the earthquake.

"Yes, this is the place," Caesar said as he arrived, his eyes gleaming with insight. He quickly discerned some clues.

In the collapsed relic beneath the ground, there was a place showing the indentation left by an adult who had lain there for ages.

But now, it was empty. Caesar approached, placed his hand in the depression, and could still feel a trace of residual warmth.

"Did I arrive too late?" Caesar squinted.

Indeed, someone had revived in the pyramid relic buried a hundred meters underground after countless millennia.
