Looking at the sharp giant sand blade flying towards him, Apocalypse's expression changed slightly, and a blue defensive force field instantly appeared, protecting him.
The sand blade collided with the defensive force field. With a bang, the defensive force field trembled slightly, and the sand blade directly disintegrated, turning back into yellow sand and scattering all over the ground.
Apocalypse is arguably the only ability baby among Mutants. He has numerous and varied abilities, all of which are quite impressive.
The Mind Manipulation Ability and Control Molecules he just got are just the tip of the iceberg.
For example, the defensive force field he is using now. In the movie, even when he was focused fired by the reinforced Magneto, Cyclops, and others, and bombarded fiercely, they couldn't break through it.
If it weren't for Jean Grey's Phoenix Force outburst, and the Phoenix Force being truly top-tier, even if all of them teamed up, they wouldn't be Apocalypse's opponent.
"Ding!"
"Detected combat, drop reward: Reinforcement (Apocalypse)"
Oh, I got this ability so quickly?
Among Apocalypse's many abilities, the only one Samuel wanted was this ability!
This ability is truly a God-like ability for Mutants.
After being reinforced, Magneto could directly control the Earth's magnetic field.
Angel, who had fleshy wings and was then burned and crippled, directly gained steel wings after being reinforced, and even grew secondary wings, which he could throw like flying knives.
The other two members of the new Four Horsemen, Storm and Psylocke, also saw significant increases in their respective abilities after being reinforced!
To put it this way, if a Mutant wants to enhance their abilities, the best and most direct way is to find Apocalypse.
Why was Apocalypse able to gather the Four Horsemen so soon after waking up?
Storm was saved by him.
Magneto decided to come out of retirement because of the death of his wife and daughter.
Psylocke was drawn by Apocalypse's strength and the reinforced abilities.
Angel was reborn after being reinforced by Apocalypse.
It can be said that if Apocalypse couldn't reinforce Mutant abilities, no matter how strong he was, it would be impossible for him to gather the Four Horsemen so quickly and make them loyal.
Uh…
Although three of the Four Horsemen later betrayed him, there were reasons for it!
If he hadn't targeted Charles Xavier, trying to obtain his body and abilities, Magneto wouldn't have directly stabbed him in the back, causing Storm and Psylocke to become double agents and turn against him.
Charles Xavier is Magneto's Kree, whoever touches him dies!
"Killing a God isn't that easy. Come on, let me see how capable you really are!" Apocalypse looked slightly smug, as if saying, I'll stand here and let you hit me, and you still can't kill me.
The defensive force field plus Self-healing, these two abilities are his confidence.
High defense, high health, and fast recovery!
Unless it's a high attack, high burst ability like the Phoenix Force, you can't even wear him down!
"Don't worry, you will see! But before that, let me introduce you to where this place is."
Samuel didn't continue attacking. Instead, he changed the subject and introduced the Mirror Space to Apocalypse.
Scared?
Helpless?
Of course not!
If anyone was scared, Samuel was scared of accidentally killing Apocalypse with one punch!
Being helpless is even more ridiculous. If Apocalypse were to act so arrogant with the Four Horsemen and the X-Men, well, that would be truly awesome!
But if he plays like this with Samuel?
Heh heh, he has a hundred ways to kill Apocalypse!
The reason he was taking a 'break' was mainly to wait for the 'Exit Combat' prompt and then continue farming his abilities!
As far as Samuel knew, Apocalypse still had several abilities he hadn't gotten yet, such as Self-healing, Body Replacement, Super Learning Ability and Dynamic Vision, Defensive Force Field, and Teleportation.
Although he had already obtained the ability he wanted most, even a small fly is still meat. He should still farm for the other abilities anyway, since their power can be stacked!
Just as Samuel was plotting to get Apocalypse's abilities, how could Apocalypse not be plotting to get his abilities?
If, when Samuel first showed his Teleportation and Mind Manipulation Ability, Apocalypse thought highly of him and wanted him to become one of the Four Horsemen.
But as Samuel displayed more and more abilities, and his purpose became clearer and clearer, Apocalypse's thoughts changed!
He wanted Samuel!
He wanted Samuel's body!
He wanted Samuel's many abilities!
Although the Mirror Space is mystical, it cannot truly trap him. He can teleport out of this space at any time.
"What is your name?" Apocalypse asked Samuel.
As his next body, Apocalypse mercifully decided to remember his name!
You know, not every body is worthy of having its name remembered by him.
"Samuel!"
"Su of the surname, Quan of the omniscient and omnipotent!"
Apocalypse remembered this name, and continued to ask with interest: "Quan of the omniscient and omnipotent? Even I, the first Mutant, the ancestor of all Mutants, dare not call myself omniscient and omnipotent, what makes You think You can?"
"Daffodils don't bloom -- what are You pretending to be?
You say You are the first Mutant, which can barely be acknowledged before discovering a Mutant older than You."
"The ancestor of Mutants? Where's Your face?"
"So all Mutants are Your offspring?"
Samuel directly retorted impolitely, Apocalypse's so-called ancestor of Mutants was at best just born a bit earlier, just gilding his own face.
Even the claim of being the first Mutant is actually somewhat questionable!
Because there was a Mutant named Black Queen who was also very long-lived, born very early, before Apocalypse appeared, Black Queen was the generally considered first Mutant.
In this World, or rather, in this timeline, Black Queen also exists; when Jean Grey lost control and turned into Black Phoenix, aliens invaded, trying to take her Phoenix Force.
At this time, there was a short-haired Mutant named Black Queen in Magneto's camp, but she didn't get to show much strength and ability before getting killed off in the battle with the aliens.
If this Black Queen is the same Black Queen from the comics, whether Apocalypse can keep the title of the first Mutant is debatable.
"You can't kill me, nor can You trap me, stop wasting Your energy."
"Follow me, follow me, I can make You stronger, we can make this World return to the rule of Gods!"
"My child, Your talent dictates that You should have a broader future!"
Apocalypse, looking like he favored him, slowly extended a 'hand of friendship' towards Samuel.
It was already very difficult for Apocalypse to extend his hand when recruiting, he felt Samuel deserved this honor!
"Child my ass!
Don't You learn from Your mistakes?
You think You're Whitebeard, always saying 'be my son'!"
Samuel was truly somewhat displeased with Apocalypse's condescending, arrogant attitude, his eyes widened, and a Hot Ray directly blasted over.
