Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

Keyu Island, central tower.

When Magneto stood up from his throne, the vast magnetic force suddenly expanded with him as the center and completely enveloped the entire tower.

So after a few breaths, accompanied by the strange "click" sound of metal tearing, the dome of the room above everyone was lifted up like a metal can, and the surrounding walls were also emptied.

In just an instant, the conference room originally located at the top of the tower was transformed into a wide and towering platform. Looking around, everything around it was unobstructed and unobstructed.

Regarding this sudden and drastic change, everyone in the conference room did not feel panic. They just looked at the majestic old man in front of the throne with a little awe, and then followed his gaze towards the sky.

High in the sky, the bright white light is still dazzling, but it is also faintly visible. In the center of the white light, there is a translucent circular platform suspended out of thin air.

Obviously, this round platform is the starting point of the white light in the sky, and on top of the round platform, there are three extremely obvious human figures standing.

"They don't look like sentinels, are they mutants? What do they want to do?"

As the largest mutant organization in the world, everyone in the Brotherhood has seen countless strange mutant abilities, if not tens of thousands, then at least thousands.

Therefore, I couldn't say I was surprised at the three figures that were floating in the sky and blooming with infinite brilliance like the rising sun. Their emotions were more of vigilance and astonishment.

Not only was Quicksilver murmuring in a low voice after discovering the abnormality, but the atmosphere in the entire room became suspicious. This way of appearing was enough to show that the visitor was extraordinary.

Listening to Quicksilver's muttering not far away, Mystique beside her frowned slightly, but she quickly reacted. Her eyes quickly broke away from the figure on the round platform above, and turned to look at the bottom of the tower. the outer waters of the island.

No matter who the other party is, there are only two reasons why he so deliberately shines with infinite brilliance in this dark night.

One is to show off one's own extraordinaryness, to attract attention and to gain a head start.

The second is to simply use light to dispel the darkness, thereby alerting everyone on the island to the dangers hidden in the darkness.

Sure enough, the moment she saw the details of the surrounding sea clearly, Mystique's pupils shrank suddenly, and she saw that on the deep blue sea in the distance, densely packed sentinel robots were gathering into a tide. Even if it was just a cursory look, its size was at least There are thousands of them, and there is a steady stream of sentinels flying over from the horizon.

This size of sentinel wave has far exceeded the previous offensive. With the huge size of the sentinels, which are usually several meters in height, if they really swarm up, it is estimated that the opponent can easily cover most of Giyu Island.

In other words, if a critical battle breaks out, even if the Brotherhood can still win in the end, its losses will definitely exceed the sum of the previous days of fighting.

"Without the full support of the federal government, it would be impossible to achieve a sentinel wave of this scale based on the size of Trask Industries alone..."

"No one of those hypocritical politicians should be left alive. After this battle is over, I will catch them all one by one!!"

A sound like gnashing teeth slowly came out of Quicksilver's mouth, and along with it, there was a strange trembling sound similar to the buzzing of a hummingbird's wings.

Wisps of breeze also appeared on the surface of the body, and soon it gradually transformed into a phantom of Quicksilver and tightly wrapped it.

"I'll go down and help first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver-haired figure in the wind mass disappeared in the conference room.

Quicksilver's mutant talent gives him extraordinary speed. As long as he is willing, everything around him will almost stop in his eyes, even time.

And this also makes his temperament appear to be the most impetuous among the brothers.

Therefore, when he saw the wave of sentries starting to land around the island, he was also the first brotherhood executive to leave.

But in the next second, Kuaiyin, who had just disappeared, was dragged back by a ball of red breath.

"Wanda, why are you stopping me?!"

Glancing at Quicksilver who was struggling in the red aura, Scarlet Witch rolled her eyes impatiently and said coldly:

"The situation is not right, don't approach blindly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kuaiyin's struggle stopped, and within this short delay, the pattern on the edge of Giyu Island gradually changed.

As early as the light appeared in the sky, the frenzy of sentinels who surrounded Giyu Island immediately realized that they had been exposed. Without any hesitation, countless dazzling red lights lit up in the eyes of all the sentinels. , and then the sea under his feet suddenly set off rough waves.

As the waves surged, thousands of sentries launched a charge towards the island. During this period, long-range attacks such as lasers and artillery shells roared, coming from all directions and overwhelming pressure. For a time, the momentum was terrifying and arrogant. monstrous.

However, the next second, a strong wind suddenly blew up outside the island, and countless yellow sand appeared inexplicably on the island of Giyu, which was supposed to be made of metal.

In an instant, the wind roared everywhere, and the strong wind swept the yellow sand and flew together, forming a sandstorm tornado that reached the sky and the earth, and rushed towards the surrounding sea with the island as the center.

But in the blink of an eye, as far as the eye can see, there is already a vast sea of ​​yellow surrounding it, blocking the clouds and blocking the sun. Wherever the yellow sand passes, everything that touches it is destroyed and assimilated.

In Quicksilver's trembling perspective, he saw that no matter whether it was invisible lasers or visible shells, all of them were swallowed up silently by the yellow sand. Even the numerous Sentinels in the back, facing the vast sandstorm, could not escape the miserable end of being eroded.

The strength of the Sentinels is beyond doubt. With their huge and solid bodies, varied and fierce fighting methods, and cold wills that can die together at any time, coupled with the blessing of various hot weapons, the combat power of each Sentinel can completely crush a fully armed elite team, not to mention that there are thousands of Sentinels on the scene.

Not to mention the capture of a small island, even the destruction of a modern country is more than enough for the Sentinels.

But the first premise is that their opponents must be actual targets that can be killed or destroyed. Whether it is flesh and blood, steel, or mountains and cities, these thousands of Sentinels are sure to burn them down completely.

Facing this invisible natural disaster that covered the whole sky, all the Sentinels' means of fighting or defending were powerless. The long swords could not cut through the whistling wind, and the laser shells could not destroy the raging yellow sand.

So they could only watch their tough bodies, which were far stronger than metal, dissipate one by one at a very fast speed under the grinding of wind and sand in the struggle, and even escape was just a luxury.

The rolling sandstorm hurricane covered a hundred miles, causing the sky and the earth to change color. Even though they were far away, Quicksilver could clearly feel the horror of this sandstorm. If Wanda had not stopped him in time, once he rashly fell into the raging range of the sandstorm, perhaps his fate would not be much better than those Sentinels who were being quickly wiped out.

"Mutants... can they really do this?"

A sigh that was almost like a groan squeezed out of the throat of a certain Brotherhood leader. A simple natural sandstorm could not reach such a terrifying level. Every grain of sand in the sandstorm seemed to have the strange ability to decompose everything, so that everything could be dissolved into the invisible effect wherever the sandstorm passed.

It was not until a few minutes later that the boiling and raging sandstorm outside the island slowly subsided, and with it, the Sentinel frenzy that occupied a large area of ​​the sea not long ago also dissipated.

Looking around, the originally deep blue sea has become yellow and turbid. There is nothing else on the sea except the undulating quicksand, and not even a trace of blue can be seen. It is so dead silent that the entire sea has turned into a flowing desert.

After seeing the scene in front of them, which can be called a world-changing scene, the towering platform at the top of the central tower was instantly silent. It must be admitted that even if their leader Magneto took action, his magnetic field ability would hardly reach this level.

"Since they will take the initiative to eliminate the sentinels, they should not be our enemies."

Until Mystique's voice, which was trying to remain indifferent, resounded throughout the platform, she directly broke the unspeakable silence. After hearing this, everyone's eyes flickered, but they all raised their heads and looked up at the translucent round platform in the sky that was still emitting infinite light.

Soon after the light bloomed, an overwhelming sandstorm descended, and it was almost undisguised who caused all this.

However, at the moment when everyone raised their eyes, the light shining in the sky and the translucent round platform in the sky disappeared simultaneously, and then a purple portal quietly opened in the center of the platform, and three figures stepped out of the opened portal one after another.

"You..."

At the edge of the towering platform, looking at the portal that suddenly opened in front of him, Quicksilver's face changed, and he was about to stop the three figures who stepped out, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was forcibly blocked by a ball of red breath.

"Shut up, they are the three mutants in the sky!"

After quietly stopping Quicksilver who was about to struggle, and seeing him finally calm down, Scarlet Witch looked up at the strange figure who was slowly approaching Magneto, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

The other party's goal was very clear, and he had just shown terrifying power not long ago. Out of awe of power, no matter what the reason for his coming here was, before Magneto spoke, it was not their turn to speak for the time being, even their siblings.

It was obvious that except for the relatively reckless Quicksilver, everyone else followed this cognition unanimously.

So, in the strange silence, the portal in the center of the platform quietly dissipated as it appeared, and Alfred and Psylocke stopped decisively and stood quietly on both sides after walking out of the portal.

As for Apocalypse, who was the first to walk out, he walked slowly and not hurriedly until he came close to Magneto before stopping. When their eyes met, he looked at the other party with admiration, as if he had seen a rare treasure.

After observing closely, Apocalypse found that he had underestimated the other party's potential. The power contained in Magneto's body had surpassed all his four horsemen in the past, and the other party also had the talent to become a god.

On the other side, compared with Apocalypse's appreciation, Magneto frowned.

Although he had learned some information about Apocalypse from Xinhuo, hearing is not as direct as seeing. Judging from the other party's means of destroying all the sentinels in an instant, even in the island of Kiyo full of metal elements, he is probably not an opponent.

Since Xinhuo's information has been preliminarily confirmed to be correct, he will follow his plan to proceed to the next step.

"Who are you?"

Sensing a trace of fear in the depths of Magneto's eyes, Apocalypse pulled the corner of his mouth and said lightly:

"Jehovah? God? Apollo God Ra?"

"In countless reincarnations, I have too many names. I was born from death, and I will also ignite the fire of destruction that destroys mankind, so that this twisted world will get back on track..."

"I will uproot all civilizations and sow new seeds. I will fulfill my mission and ignite the fire that burns the world..."

The bewitching voices echoed in the platform. It was obviously just absurd and doomsday talk, but coupled with the terrible power that Apocalypse had just revealed, the people present did not feel anything wrong. Instead, they all had an inexplicable trust that what the other party said was true.

Except for Magneto and Scarlet Witch, everyone else began to have a hint of fanaticism in their eyes.

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, a light exclamation came out of Apocalypse's mouth. He turned his head and looked at the Scarlet Witch behind him, who was surrounded by a red aura, with his eyes slightly raised.

"Very good, another knight."

Behind him, Magneto looked at the back of Apocalypse facing his daughter, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

"So...what do you need us to do for you?"

"For me?"

While speaking, Apocalypse turned around again, and then he slowly raised his hand and pointed directly at Magneto's chest in front of him.

"No, this is not for me. I just need you to face your true power, a power that can subvert the world and destroy all existing order."

"We are the end of evolution, the natural rulers, and a more advanced species..."

"We should not be a group of poor people who are excluded by humans and oppressed by so-called civilization, so that they can only live overseas and live in a miserable way..."

………

In the outside world, as the sandstorms and the glow of the sky dissipated one after another, not long after, the sea area that had gradually returned to calm was once again stirred up by waves.

As the waves rolled and rolled, the entire Kiyo Island began to tremble violently, and then accompanied by the creaking sound of metal deformation, this huge metal fortress slowly left the sea and rose directly into the air under the cold moonlight.

Above the island, there was a majestic figure floating in the air, with his hair and beard gradually turning from white to black.

………

The White House, underground command post.

When the strange change occurred on the island of Kiyo, far away overseas, the atmosphere in the command post fell into an unsettling stagnation.

Everyone in the conference room stared blankly at the picture being played on the projection screen in a loop. It was the last image of thousands of sentinels being completely engulfed by the raging yellow sand not long ago.

Beside the projection screen, the young man who was the representative of Trask Industries first raised his hand to interrupt the video on the projection screen, and then scanned the various government officials who controlled the military and political sides of the Federation in the conference room one by one, speaking passionately.

"Everyone, this is the apocalypse I mentioned before. The other party has a god-like power..."

"No, to be precise, the other party is a god in history, and now, the god who is ready to destroy the world has come. The Brotherhood of Mutants is just a minor problem. It is not worth wasting our energy. What we need to face now is a more terrible enemy."

"A real living god!!"
