Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

"Reject!"

X Academy, on the lawn outside the castle, Xu Yue, holding a wooden longbow in his hand, decisively rejected Paradise's suggestion to change the main task.

Although in some ways, Tianqi is definitely a good leader. His strength is invincible in this world except for Phoenix, and he is mature and detached. His requirements for accepting subordinates are based only on strength, without too many additional conditions.

But just the fact that the other party will definitely take over the professor's body is destined to make Xu Yue impossible to switch to Tianqi's command. His base is all on X Academy.

What's more, there is no free lunch in this world. Once Tianqi really has the professor's ability to manipulate the mind, it is estimated that all the gains will be doubled.

So compared to becoming one of the other party's knights, he prefers to turn it directly into his own treasure chest income, but before that, he needs to give Tianqi enough time to make it stir up enough waves in this world pattern that has basically stabilized, so that it can be conducive to the implementation of subsequent plans. Now Ah Fu's joining and strengthening is just the beginning.

Countless ups and downs in history have told us the cruelest truth: chaos has always been the ladder!

Only chaos can breed new possibilities, and Apocalypse is a huge rock he threw into this lake of stagnant water. Now it seems that at least the first step of the plan is going very smoothly. Soon, this huge rock that fell down will set off a large wave in the world.

His half-open eyes narrowed slightly, covering the deepness that suddenly appeared in his eyes. After throwing the longbow in his hand to the steel warrior beside him, Xu Yue looked sideways at the students who were drawing bows and arrows on the lawn, and said in a deep voice.

"The next archery class will be supervised by the steel warrior. All people who hit more than 100 times within the six rings can disband on their own."

After arranging the task, he no longer paid attention to the sporadic wailing from the crowd, but turned around and walked quickly towards the wilderness behind the castle.

A few minutes later, as Xu Yue arrived at the designated location, the air above the wilderness suddenly twisted, and a golden warship like a hill slowly emerged in the void, and he jumped in.

After the Battle of Alcatraz, this armed warship that seemed out of place in the current world was placed by Xu Yue in the wilderness behind the academy for nearly half a decade, and remained invisible throughout the whole process.

For the X-Men, a world dominated by modern technology, the Sun Chaser, which is driven by magic, may not be as convenient as modern technology in some aspects. In terms of destructiveness, it is not as good as the extreme lethality of nuclear weapons, and in terms of agility, it is not as good as the supersonic cruise of fighter jets.

But in other aspects, there are many "black technologies" on the Sun Chaser that are completely unattainable in the current world.

The most notable of them is the sacred defense core in the warship, which is second only to the magic main gun in importance.

At the bottom of the cabin, a spherical object emitting a hazy white light was suspended in the transparent glass cover. If you look closely, you can vaguely see that the surface of the sphere in the white light is constantly flashing with complex and subtle mysterious inscriptions.

This sphere, which is only the size of an adult's fist, is one of the products at the top of the magic technology in the Dragon Valley world. Although it is small in size, the sacred defense shield it can construct can completely protect a large warship of nearly 100 meters long, and its defense power is extremely amazing.

When stimulated to the limit, the sacred defense shield can even temporarily resist the bombardment of the magic main gun. In the Dragon Valley world, except for the black dragon with excessive combat power, it can almost resist any form of conventional attack.

If the magic main gun is the strongest spear of the armed warship, then the sacred defense core is the sigh shield that protects the warship. Both are indispensable.

Even in the world of X-Men, where black technology is frequently used, this energy shield technology can be said to be a product of fantasy. Therefore, after completing the improvement of the gene awakening instrument a few days ago, Hank rushed to the battleship as soon as possible to conduct a detailed study on it.

In the past few days, he has even turned down all the affairs of the Ministry of Defense, just to study out some effective results in the shortest possible time.

"Hank, have you found any results for the analysis of the defense core?"

The silence in the cabin was broken by a question. Upon hearing this, Hank, who was almost completely attached to the surface of the glass cover, slowly stood up and adjusted his black-framed glasses on his nose. He exclaimed excitedly:

"What an amazing technology!"

"With the development speed of modern technology, this energy shield technology will be difficult to make progress in at least 30 years, but this defense core can be easily constructed using only the magic inscriptions on its surface, and its body is very small, and the protective energy field it constructs is also surprisingly stable..."

When talking about the defense core, Hank was obviously much more excited. The previous gene awakening instrument still had basic principles to follow, but the magic inscriptions were completely unfamiliar fields that were completely different from modern technology.

For top scholars like Hank, the development of a new field is of great significance, and behind it are endless possibilities beyond imagination!

Compared to Hank's excitement, Xu Yue on the opposite side seemed quite rational. He didn't care what kind of sparks would come out after the combination of magic inscriptions and modern technology. All he needed to know now was a definite answer. The energy shield was crucial to the independence of mutants, and it also affected whether the completion of his main mission could be improved again.

He quietly listened to the other party's explanation with great interest. When there was a brief pause, he quickly spoke to interrupt Hank who still had some unfinished thoughts.

"Now that the research on the sacred defense core has yielded results, can it be copied and its protective area expanded?"

"Results?"

Glancing at Xu Yue who clearly lacked a correct understanding of him, Hank slowly shook his head and said:

"We are far from achieving results now. This is a brand new and unfamiliar field. I now know almost nothing about the operating principles and specific meanings of those magic inscriptions. If I want to achieve results, I still need a lot of time to learn about them. Each inscription symbol is analyzed and matched in detail, but..."

Having said this, Hank's words paused briefly, and he turned to look at the core of the sacred defense not far away, his eyes full of fanaticism.

"But it's not a big problem if you just copy it. The key to the effectiveness of the defense core lies in the unique inscription structure. In the past few days, I have scanned them all through instruments and recorded them in detail. With Magneto's precision, With processing capabilities, it is not difficult to create a giant version of the defense core at a one-to-one ratio.”

"It's just that although the protective area can be expanded after the structure is enlarged, the consumption will become extremely terrifying. I have tested that the conversion ratio of these inscriptions to electrical energy is extremely low. Even if the energy center of the college base is used as the driving source, it will not persist at all. It won’t be long.”

"As long as it can be copied, it is enough. I will solve the energy issue later."

After briefly comforting Hank, Xu Yue raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Cairo in a low tone.

"We will discuss the defense core matters later. I want to take Qin and Jimmy away immediately. The chaos has already begun."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hank's originally excited expression froze, apparently realizing what the confusion in Xu Yue's mouth was.

"He's awakened?"

"Um."

Night, top of Cairo Tower.

As the tallest building in the entire ancient city of Cairo, when you are at the top of the 187-meter-high Cairo Tower, you can overlook almost half of Cairo.

The moon hangs high in the sky, and the cold moonlight pours on the three figures on the top of the tower, casting a large deep shadow behind them.

"Technology and civilization may seem to be bright and beautiful on the surface, but inside they are bloody and dirty that have not changed for thousands of years..."

The plain tone came out of Tianqi's mouth, but it exuded a chill that was far colder than the cold moon in the sky.

Overlooking the city center of Cairo, which is lined with tall buildings below, although it is already dark at this time, the city does not appear lonely at all in the middle of the night. Instead, it becomes more and more lively. Under the bright lights, you can see the crowds of people and the traffic flow. Even though they are far apart, there are still people on the towers. The three people could still hear the faint noise coming from them.

In stark contrast to the bustling city center, there are sparsely lit and dim slum areas on the outskirts of the city. They are scattered like ugly scars near the dazzling central area.

The night should have drowned out all differences, including high, low, beautiful and ugly, but in Cairo at this moment, these differences, like fireflies in the bright sun, were displayed so nakedly in the dark night.

With deep eyes, Apocalypse's gaze slowly swept across the city of Cairo below. No matter the blood in the dark places or the filth in the bright places, they could not escape his sight. But even though he saw too much ugliness, There was no anger in his eyes, only the condescending light pity.

"Material abundance will only make the spirit more empty and distorted. They once betrayed me, so they lost their faith and even more their awe. Such a civilization can only inevitably lead to destruction in madness."

"They took the wrong path, and I will make them get back on track. I will build a new monument in the ruins."

"Let's go. Before launching the trial, we still need to find the remaining two knights. The mutant bipolar ones shouldn't disappoint me..."

Survived, Apocalypse took one last deep look at the prosperous and impoverished human city at his feet, and then the lavender space portal quickly unfolded behind the three of them, swallowing them and the two knights behind them in an instant.
