Enlightenment runes in American manga

Chapter 197 Apocalypse
The traces of the enemy are not far away, and it is obviously not wise to have a dispute over some trivial matters at this time.

So Magneto shrugged his shoulders, and followed the US team's suggestion to control the elevator to slow down.

And as the speed decreased, everyone in the field, who were extremely observant, instantly felt something was wrong.

The surrounding tunnel walls seemed to be much smoother and flatter than the area they had already passed through.

Moreover, the main composition inside is no longer soil and broken rocks, but instead seems to have become a whole boulder.

And when everyone squinted their eyes and began to seriously look at the tunnel wall, they actually saw the faint and complicated patterns underneath from the cover of the soil.

This time, without anyone reminding him, Magneto made the elevator stop again on his own.

Then he turned his head to look at the blond boy who was shrinking in the corner again, and asked:

"These regular boulders and the patterns carved on them cannot be formed naturally. Can you tell us some stories about what happened here through 'instinct'?"

Up to now, the previous guesses of Raul and Magneto can be said to have been fully confirmed.

The reason why Mister Sinister suddenly became stronger may be inseparable from his extraordinary intelligence and scientific research level.

But the more important factor is probably to find an opportunity to set foot in the extraordinary field from the underground buildings left by unknown existence in this unknown period.

So now, in order to find out the origin of this complex of buildings earlier, it is undoubtedly a good decision to ask the blond boy.

Regardless of whether the other party had a special connection with this place, or felt the danger instinctively, his act of warning in advance proved that he knew this place better than everyone else.

As for the authenticity of the blond boy's speech, Little Magneto and the others have the confidence to judge.

However, in the face of the inquiry, the blond boy showed a very natural confused look on his face, and he also gave a vague answer:

"I don't know. I just vaguely smelled a dangerous atmosphere. If I have to describe it carefully, I feel that the source of the threat may be some kind of extremely fiery existence."

After hearing what the blond boy said, the other people in the elevator exchanged glances with each other, as if they wanted to consult other people to see if they caught the flaws in the blond boy's words or expression.

But from their respective eyes, they knew that the blond boy perfectly interpreted a dazed image that just followed their own intuition.

Unable to dig out more information on the blond boy, the US team began to consider the "hot source of threat" instead.

The easiest thing to think of is of course this building complex, which was once owned by a powerful flame-type transcendent.

And the fiery threat in the blond boy's intuition was a defensive trap that the flame superpower had set up countless years ago.

After Mr. Sinister accidentally discovered this underground building, he not only found the inheritance of unknown superpowers, but also took over the defense trap.

Now, it is being ordered to ruthlessly kill any enemies who try to break into the ground.

Magneto and Raul's guess is naturally not far from the US team.

And this also made them feel a little tricky.

Only from the stone carvings and patterns on the tunnel walls that have been eroded by the years, they can feel a trace of solemnity and solemnity.

And when their minds are completely immersed in it, they can even realize the profound meaning contained in it.

All indications indicated that the power users who had ordered the construction of this underground complex were far superior in strength to those in the elevator.

Therefore, in the face of the trap set by the flame-type superpowers, unless the power is greatly reduced due to too long time, none of them have the confidence to break through it safely.

Just at the moment when everyone was full of hesitation, the blond boy who claimed to have told everything he knew just now spoke hesitantly:

"I seem to recall some fragments from my mind again. That fiery power probably comes from the sun!"

sun!

Symbol of infinite light and heat.

Being able to master this powerful power and build the mysterious existence here will undoubtedly make everyone fear him to another level.

But at the same time, having the power of the sun also helped them limit the scope of speculation.

"From the strange glyphs we found along the way, we can clearly feel the shadow of religious symbols, and these extremely smooth and flat boulders also require a lot of manpower."

"So it is very likely that this place used to be the temple of some ancient superpower. At that time, it was not uncommon for powerful superpowers to become gods worshiped by all peoples."

Captain America took the lead in expressing his own judgment. S.H.I.E.L.D. is full of interest in all kinds of supernatural things, and those bizarre folklore are often clues for S.H.I.E.L.D. to unearth lost supernatural items.

Under the influence of what they heard and seen, the US team certainly has a good reserve of information on such things.

But before he continued to speak out about the legendary figure he speculated, Little Magneto replied decisively:
"Is it Apollo? Thinking of the sun god recognized by the world, of course it is Apollo!"

Little Magneto expressed his thoughts confidently, but the elevator fell into a cold spot because of his answer.

A few seconds later, it was Raul who spoke out to resolve the embarrassment:
"This is the territory of Egypt, and Apollo is the sun god in Greek mythology. Even if that sun god really existed in the human world, it is unlikely that his temple is located here."

"If we must guess, the sun god in ancient Egyptian legends may be the target of the power of the sun."

"However, I lack understanding and research on this kind of folklore. If I want to know a more accurate answer, I have to listen to the judgment of Captain Rogers."

Seeing that the topic was successfully thrown back to him by Raul, Captain America did not hide it, and directly stated the candidate in his mind:
"Enshabanur, code-named 'Apocalypse', in SHIELD's database, it can be confirmed that this ruler of the first dynasty of ancient Egypt accepted the belief of the people as the sun god."

"But for some unknown reason, Tianqi suddenly disappeared. According to legend, the first and largest pyramid he ordered the people to build also left no traces in the world."

"But now it seems that the pyramid temple is likely to be buried with his master in the dark underground."

The appearance of the name "Apocalypse" immediately caused an uncontrollable look of surprise on the faces of Little Magneto and Raul.

Although it has been a long time, most of Tianqi's deeds have been submerged in the long river of history.

But his name has been circulating among the mutant community.

Legend has it that he was born only after the Black Queen Selene, and he is the oldest batch of mutants.

And his strength is countless times stronger than Selene.

In terms of the number of abilities she has, Selene, who possesses the talent endowed by the X gene and also practices dark magic, can undoubtedly be said to have a variety of means.

But put it together with Apocalypse, it is completely incomparable.

Because according to legend, Apocalypse, who is the strongest mutant, can use all mutant abilities.

This kind of method, which is enough to change people's color, easily established Tianqi's reputation among mutants.

And because of the form of rule he had implemented in ancient Egypt, mutants were placed in a superior position, and all ordinary people were only slightly better than slaves.

Therefore, in the period when mutants were generally discriminated against and had to remain anonymous, many radical mutant groups even regarded Apocalypse as an illusory spiritual leader!
But obviously, Little Magneto and Raul lack the necessary respect for this old man.

On the one hand, the opponent's means of using all mutant abilities seems to be less unique and powerful after the birth of the Sentinel robot.

Secondly, the opponent's former mutant empire, compared with Ionia at this time, is also not much to envy.

So after the initial surprise, the two magneto kings immediately began to think about whether they were sure of winning if the opponent was still alive.

The Academy Gemini, who are also mutants, quickly recovered their calm, but unexpectedly, the blond boy reacted even more violently after hearing the name "Apocalypse".

He slapped his head hard with both hands, as if trying to wake up his chaotic brain.

Such a strange performance made the other people more convinced of their previous judgment. The lost memory of the blond boy left a deep impression of Tianqi.

When the blond boy finally recovered from the severe headache, he spoke again to remind everyone:
"The pyramid built by Apocalypse is a huge device that can receive the mighty power from the sun."

"With the help of this device, he can obtain a long lifespan through some unknown ritual. At the same time, Apocalypse can use the effects of all mutant abilities. This device and ritual are also inseparable."

"So the trap we will encounter next is likely to be some of the power of the sun left in the pyramid."

……

"Then how do we get through the power of the sun safely?"

The words of the blond boy first caused the three of Magneto, Raul and Captain America to fall into silence for a short while.

They just felt that this strange guy they picked up on the way, not only did not become a burden in their imagination, but became the grandfather who guided them forward.

This contrast made the three of them feel a little complicated for a while.

But now, most of their vigilance against the blond boy has been eliminated.

The actions of the other party to retrieve the lost memory time and time again, if it is a performance, then the three of Steve can only express their conviction, and they are willing to be deceived.

So resisting the awkwardness, Steve decisively asked the blond youth for his opinion.

"It's very simple. The power of the sun left in the pyramid was not originally used for attacking. The guy named Mister Sinister may have just made some modifications so that the storage device can roughly release the power of the sun under his control. force."

"So as long as you have the token of someone with a higher authority in the temple, then the transformation of Mister Sinister will naturally lose its effect."

"Apocalypse, or the moon god Kongsi who is only under Apocalypse, do you have any items from these two people?"

For some unknown reason, the blond boy's brain obviously didn't have any memory of this aspect just a moment ago.

But after Steve asked a question, relevant information naturally appeared in his mind, and he replied immediately.

Another severe headache.

Looking at the blond boy who slapped his head again, the three Magneto Kings resolutely looked away and turned their gazes to the other people beside them.

The token of Tian Qi and the moon god Kong Si, the blond boy has already given the answer so clearly, and they don't want to continue to torture each other.

Soon, after checking the items on his body, Raul took out a piece of cloth with stains.

Judging by the rough edges, it was obviously torn directly from a whole piece of cloth.

And Raul also opened his mouth to everyone in the elevator, telling the origin of this piece of rag.

It turned out that when Curen left the earth in a hurry, he actually still remembered many supernatural items that he hadn't had time to take away.

So before he left, he informed several of his most trusted subordinates about the clues of certain items, and asked them to search in advance, so that he could get them directly when he came back.

As Curran's direct descendant, "Liquid" naturally also received a goal, that is, the inheritance of the moon god Kongsi who gave birth to the "Moonlight Knight".

Raul naturally did not dare to let go of the task secretly assigned by his dean. With his personal efforts, not long ago, Raul successfully found Kongsi's remnant in an abandoned Luna Temple. soul.

But just when he wanted to imprison and take away the remnant soul of the moon god, a superpower wearing a white shroud and a moon decoration on his chest appeared, and snatched the remnant soul of the moon god from Raul. standing statue.

What Raul got in exchange was only a corner torn from the opponent's shroud cloak.

After listening to Raul's narration, Magneto Jr. and Captain America obviously understood why the other party carried this dirty rag with him, and told them the mission that should have been kept secret.

Raul, who had apparently lost all clues, was not reconciled to the failure of the mission.

In order to find the whereabouts of the mysterious superpower, he is trying to use various methods, including revealing the news to the US team representing SHIELD.

It's just that now is not the time to consider tracking down the mysterious superpower. The most important thing is to try whether the piece of rag Raul holds can be used as a token of the moon god Kongs.

But who will be the hero of this adventure? After the three of them looked at each other, Captain America had a wry smile on his face.

However, his pathfinding this time was actually not that dangerous.

Because the Edman metal shield in his hand, under the control of the little Magneto, has turned into a thin layer of close-fitting thin armor covering the body surface of the US team.

Edman metals can maintain their shape at millions of degrees Celsius, and the metal atoms that don't move inside can't conduct any heat.

Therefore, with the transformation of Magneto, Captain America, who may face the power of the sun, is extremely calm in his heart.

The average temperature on the surface of the sun is more than 5000 degrees. The pyramid device that receives the power of the sun, no matter how effective it is, probably will not exceed this temperature.

Under the control of the little Magneto, Captain America comforted himself in his heart, and gradually approached the tunnel wall below, which the blond boy had a premonition of, with extremely strong heat energy surging behind him.
