"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Super Learning Ability (Apocalypse)"
Along with Apocalypse's complete annihilation, his last ability was also refreshed.
Molecular Control, Mind Manipulation Ability, Enhancement, Self-healing, Defensive Force Field, Teleportation, Body Replacement, Dynamic Vision, Super Learning Ability—
Apocalypse's ability package was quite good.
Speaking of which, Apocalypse was quite wronged. He was tragically betrayed by humans, protected by his subordinates who fought to the death, and fell into a deep sleep, buried in the dark underground for so many years.
Just as he finally woke up, he became a great gift package, giving away all his abilities, and then died completely!
If he had known this would be the outcome, Apocalypse might as well have just died back then. At the very least, he wouldn't have been buried for so long, wouldn't have been completely used up, and wouldn't even have his ashes scattered.
Of course, Samuel wouldn't sigh for Apocalypse.
Anyway, you were going to die. There's no difference between being killed by the Phoenix Force and being killed by the Chaos Magic.
Besides, if I kill you, your abilities can still exist in another way and help more Mutants. You completely died in a worthy manner!
Furthermore, didn't you claim to be the ancestor of Mutants? Under circumstances where death was inevitable, isn't it only right to make some contribution to the Mutant descendants?
United States Intelligence Agency, X Department Base.
Broken walls and ruins, smoke everywhere, and bloodied Agent bodies were being carried out from the rubble.
In a corner, Mystique and others gathered with pained expressions, along with Charles Xavier, Erik Lehnsherr, and Moira MacTaggert.
Samuel glanced around. Darwin and Angel Salvadore were not among them, which meant Black King had come with Red Devil and Riptide.
The result should be the same as in the movie: Darwin died, and Angel Salvadore became a turncoat, defecting to Black King.
Before Angel Salvadore came here, she was just a dancer hiding her Mutant identity. Even after joining the X Department, she still suffered discrimination in the eyes and words of some people.
Then, Black King appeared.
He destroyed the Base with overwhelming force, killed almost all the Agents, and told her from a high position that she would no longer be discriminated against, that she could live like a queen.
Without receiving real help from the X Department, without truly changing her life, and without establishing a deep friendship, it was normal for her to change her allegiance.
"Where did you go?" Moira MacTaggert walked over and asked Samuel.
Samuel's peripheral vision passed her to look at the somewhat nervous Mystique behind her. He chuckled inwardly and said calmly, "I don't need to report to you where I go, do I?"
"Shaw came. He brought people and destroyed the Base, killing many of our colleagues."
"Also..."
"Darwin is dead, and Salvadore also left with Shaw."
Moira MacTaggert didn't mean to question Samuel. She just felt that if Samuel had been here, these tragedies might not have happened.
After all, Samuel was the most powerful Mutant they knew.
"There's a reason I wasn't here! Have you heard of Apocalypse? It is said that he is the first Mutant in the World and has been sleeping for thousands of years."
"Apocalypse?"
"The first Mutant?"
"Slept for thousands of years?"
Moira MacTaggert and the others exclaimed in surprise.
Moira MacTaggert asked, "You, you suddenly brought up Apocalypse because...?"
"I killed him."
Samuel said calmly, "He is stronger and more dangerous than Black King. If he awakens, the World will fall into greater disaster."
"How do you know he will bring greater disaster to the World?" Erik Lehnsherr asked.
"Just like I know you will be locked up in the prison under the Pentagon, and you..."
Samuel shifted his gaze to Charles Xavier, shaking his head with pity: "You're even worse off. You'll only be able to walk with a wheelchair in the future."
???
Charles Xavier subconsciously glanced at his good friend and said sheepishly, "I still think this is the best way now."
"Are you telling the truth or a lie? They won't be that miserable, right? Do you also have the ability to predict the future?" Mystique couldn't help but ask.
As everyone knows, Samuel has many abilities.
Samuel shrugged and smiled, looking at Charles Xavier, who was forced to shave his head.
"You should thank me. If I hadn't killed Apocalypse in advance, you wouldn't have just shaved your head, but would have to be bald forever."
He had lost a section of his hair before, and there was almost no other hairstyle that could save or cover it, so he could only shave it all off.
Charles Xavier touched his bald head and asked curiously, "What happened?"
"Apocalypse has an ability to gain the opponent's abilities by replacing their body. After failing to use you to control the nuclear bombs of all humanity, he set his sights on your body. The body replacement ritual would cause you to lose your hair and never grow it back."
Body replacement?
Using Charles Xavier to launch nuclear bombs?
The more he spoke, the more terrifying it became.
Moira MacTaggert asked solemnly, "Can you really predict the future?"
"You witnessed Apocalypse's awakening with your own eyes."
Samuel didn't admit that he could predict the future, but every word he said proved that he could predict the future.
As for whether you believe it or not?
That's your business.
Moira MacTaggert was silent for a moment, then changed the subject: "Let's talk about what we should do now? We can't stay here. We need a new Base, and the Cerebro has been destroyed, so we can't look for other Mutants for now."
.....
"I'll solve the Base problem. I know a place that's very suitable." Charles Xavier thought of his family's manor.
It had a lot of space and was in a remote location, making it very suitable to be used as a Mutant Base.
This time, the Base should ideally only have Mutants!
Moira MacTaggert nodded in agreement. With such a big incident, the Intelligence Agency couldn't possibly provide a Base and support for the X Department anymore.
"Where is White Queen?" Moira MacTaggert asked Samuel.
Samuel said, "She has other things to do."
Moira MacTaggert didn't press for White Queen's whereabouts but asked about Samuel's plans.
"What are your plans? Are you going to the new Base with them, or...?"
Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier were definitely going to part ways. After that, the new Base would become Charles's School for Gifted Youngsters, which is the X-Academy.
Then, after operating for a short time, it would close down due to the Vietnam War, with teachers and students being forcibly conscripted.
Anyway, he had already obtained all their abilities, and the few recruitment targets were not in a hurry. He and Charles Xavier had different paths and didn't see eye to eye, so there was no need for him to go to the new Base with them.
Besides, he didn't want targets he recruited from other timelines to be seduced away by Charles Xavier.
After all, in other timelines, Charles Xavier, this Professor X, was extremely famous, with a well-known reputation.
