Magic Journey from Hogwarts

"What about you?" Hill asked meaningfully, "What is your purpose?"

"Of course, to prevent future troubles!" Stryker said calmly, "I brought enough explosives to completely blow up the pyramid."

"Do you think we'll believe it?"

"No, but it is what it is, and we welcome the oversight of SHIELD agents."

"Colonel Stryker, I have heard about your attitude towards mutants, and I can vaguely guess why you are here."

"So what?" Stryker's tone turned cold, "Can you stop me or convince me?"

Hilton paused, "Colonel Stryker, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"I know, then do you know why so many people support my current actions?" Stryker smiled slightly smugly, "We all have the same idea.

If successful, humanity will have reduced a powerful enemy; if unsuccessful, humanity will also recognize the reality and realize the seriousness of the problem.”

God only knows how long he has been waiting for this day. All mutants deserve to die.

But so far, for some unknown reason, only the mutants themselves and those who have actually come into contact with mutants will reluctantly believe in the existence of mutants.

What's even more outrageous is that for the sake of the overall situation, the higher-ups asked these very small number of people to keep the information confidential. Even if they accidentally leaked it, not many people would believe it.

This has led to the fact that most humans are unaware of mutants. They have been living in a false peace, completely unaware that there is such a group of strange life forms in the dark that threaten the status of humanity.

However, the appearance of the three stone tablets gave him a glimmer of hope. As long as Apocalypse escaped, everyone would know the existence of mutants, and they would have nowhere to hide.

Both the military and the government will set up organizations against mutants. They will gain unprecedented support, and the unfavorable situation will be reversed in an instant.

"Colonel Stryker, we can solve the problem in a more gentle way." Hill argued, "Humanity is not ready yet..."

"But the mutants don't have it either." Stryker interrupted impatiently, then looked at Barton and Natasha, "I don't know how much you know, but as the person who knows mutants best, believe me... the threat of mutants is definitely no less than that of the alien Chitauri army.

Mutants need more time than humans, and the so-called overall situation of those people will give them time to grow and develop.

SHIELD wants to maintain balance, but doesn't Nick Fury know how dangerous this distorted balance will bring to humanity?

If he had any sense of responsibility and shame, he shouldn't have let you stop us.

Mutants deserve to die, none of their filthy genes are innocent."

Listening to Stryker's aggressive and righteous words, Hill and the other two looked at each other, and inevitably felt shaken in their hearts.

But the last sentence brought them back to reality. Stryker was too extreme. Not all mutants deserved to die. In comparison, they would rather maintain the status quo.

"I have to inform the director." Hill said unnaturally, but as soon as she took out her cell phone, Yuriko grabbed her wrist.

At this moment, Natasha's gun was against Yuriko's chin.

But she was not afraid at all, and even showed a sarcastic smile.

The scene suddenly became quiet, and the SHIELD agents and military soldiers began to confront each other quietly.

"Want to try?" Natasha smiled meaningfully, "You may not be simple, but my gun is not something that can be found everywhere, especially... the bullets inside.

Fury is too stingy, he only gives me a few when I am on a mission."

Yuriko's expression changed slightly and she subconsciously looked at William Stryker.

"Alchemical bullets?" Stryker seemed to be thinking about it. "Sometimes I really envy you SHIELD. Not only do you have the best technological resources, but you can even recruit an alchemist."

"Just a little better luck." Natasha said expressionlessly.

"Don't be nervous, Yuriko." Stryker gave her a look, and Yuriko slowly let go of Hill's hand and silently stepped aside.

“I’m sorry, Agent Hill, Yuriko might have gotten a little excited, but I won’t do that next time.

Besides, if you want to notify Fury, you'd better do it quickly.

If he can negotiate with my superiors, there will be fewer misunderstandings between SHIELD and the military in the future."

Hill forced a smile and took Natasha and Barton to distance themselves from Stryker.

"Who is that Yuriko?" Hill frowned and asked, "Just now she gave me the feeling of having a knife on my neck."

"Mutant." Barton said confidently, "At least level three, and her mutant ability should not be afraid of bullets.

There was a hint of joking in her eyes just now, and she didn't seem to be worried at all about Natasha shooting, but the alchemical bullet should be able to cause damage to her."

"But why would Stryker recruit mutants as assistants?"

"That woman was controlled. Her condition is very similar to that of the Winter Soldier." Natasha said seriously, "Maybe it's a chip, maybe it's special drugs, or in more serious cases, it's brainwashing transformation."

Hill sighed slightly and immediately called Nick Fury.

"How's the situation?"

"As expected, the military has taken control of Tianqi's mausoleum, and they plan to completely destroy this place."

"Didn't you tell them how serious it was?"

“William Stryker is leading the team, you know him, whether he succeeds or fails, he never loses.

Not only him, but also the people behind him think the same way.”

Nick Fury was silent for a few seconds, "Get ready to retreat! S.H.I.E.L.D. probably can't help with Apocalypse's affairs."

"Are we retreating now?" Hill asked unwillingly.

“The agreement on mutants was signed by multiple forces, and it’s all about first come, first served.

We have the right to cooperate, but they also have the right to refuse if we disagree.”

"Alright!" Hill looked back at William Stryker who was arranging soldiers to bury explosives, "I'll lead my men to retreat now. Staying here will only bring humiliation to ourselves."

"And it's dangerous." Natasha added, then took Hill's phone and said, "Fury, I was in a hurry just now and forgot to tell you something."

"what's up?"

“There is more than one stone tablet. Before this, Stryker found two stone tablets and also found someone to translate them.

The first piece is En-Shaba-Nur's agreement with other gods that Egypt will be his kingdom.

The second piece is the prophecy left by the prophet. The prophet predicted that En Sabah Nur would be freed from the seal one day in the future, and mutants would appear in the eyes of the world because of him.

But his ambition would ultimately fail, apparently because of... a phoenix."

"Good news, Natasha, this is really good news." Nick Fury said after a pause, but then changed the subject, "But are you kidding me? Where can I find a phoenix?"

"I don't know about that. Due to its age, the stone tablets have been severely weathered, resulting in the loss of the second half of the prophecy. However, I have found all three stone tablets..."

"Bring them back, quickly."

“Okay, Fury.

There is one more thing I think I need to remind you of.

The conflict between mutants and ordinary humans will definitely break out, and S.H.I.E.L.D. needs some special weapons, and ordinary bullets may not be able to meet the needs."

"You mean..." Nick Fury raised his eyebrows slightly, "You want me to ask Gaius to order another batch of alchemical ammunition?"

“It’s necessary, Fury.

Rather than spending time developing weapons that target a certain mutant ability, alchemical bullets are definitely a suitable choice."

"Aaron has clearly stated that he needs to improve his alchemy skills and will no longer sell alchemical bullets to the public."

"Explain the situation to him, he will understand. At most you can just pay more."

"If it could be solved by paying more money, I wouldn't say so much." Nick Fury said speechlessly, "The problem is that he now has a mutant girlfriend. Do you think he will make alchemical bullets for us to fight mutants?"

"Ah..." Natasha fell into a brief silence, "The conditions can be negotiated!

He is a sophisticated egoist, and I don't think he would side with the mutants just because of his girlfriend."

"Okay! I'll arrange for Coulson to talk to him."

"Well..." Natasha hesitated, "If you have made a decision, it's best not to offend him during this period.

You know what I mean, that compass...don't even think about it!"

"Fuck it!" Nick Fury cursed and hung up the phone angrily.

"Can't he use a different word when he's cursing?"

"You should get used to it, Natasha." Hill put away his phone and reluctantly led the SHIELD agents to evacuate the ruins.

......

"Sir, the SHIELD people have left." Yuriko said.

"They are self-aware." Stryker said with disdain, "After the bombs are installed, it's time for us to withdraw."

"Are we retreating too?"

"En Sabah Nur is a mutant." Stryker's voice was filled with undisguised hatred, "Who knows what strange abilities mutants have?

Moreover, it was clearly recorded on the stone tablet that the mutant's body he replaced before being sealed had the ability to heal itself.

You also have the ability to heal yourself, can the explosion kill you?"

Yuriko Koyama was stunned for a moment, "I will arrange for the soldiers to prepare for retreat."

......

Boom boom boom!

Explosions rang out one after another, and the ground above the ruins collapsed, forming a huge pit.

In the center of the giant pit, a golden pyramid was buried by sand, with only a section of the golden spire exposed.

At the same time, William Stryker was watching the images sent back by the drone on a tablet in the helicopter, and Nick Fury was also watching the satellite projection with bated breath in the office.

So hard.

The two of them looked at the intact golden spire and thought to themselves at the same time.

Just as they were wondering, the mysterious runes on the surface of the pyramid seemed to come alive. They emitted a bright but not dazzling golden light, flowing down along the lines like liquid gold.

Deep inside the pyramid, in a dark and depressing space, two stone platforms stand side by side in the center of the altar.

On one of the stone platforms was a decayed body, and on another was a strange human wearing ink-colored armor and having dark blue skin.

The golden liquid flowed from bottom to top onto the stone platform, and Tianqi, who accepted his own consciousness, suddenly opened his eyes that had been closed for more than five thousand years.

"Uh..."

Apocalypse took a deep breath and subconsciously felt his new body.

Just then he saw the ceiling that was almost touching his face, and the huge amount of stones that blocked the surroundings.

Tianqi then realized his situation. He was locked in a small space, unable to stretch his body or even lift his head.

Apocalypse didn't know what was going on, but he was sure that the first thing he had to do was to get out of this place.

The next moment, Tianqi's pupils turned white, and a purple energy aura burst out from his body and spread to the surroundings.

The ground began to shake violently. Countless rocks rose up and trembled, but were then ground into powder by this powerful force.

The pyramid slowly rose from the ground and quickly weathered and melted away. Apocalypse also saw the sun and sky for the first time in a long time.

"Fire!" Nick Fury picked up the phone and ordered, "Although it may not be useful, at least we can analyze some of his abilities."

As soon as the words fell, three Quinjet fighters flew over Cairo, and the three pilots pressed the launch button almost at the same time.

Three Jericho missiles flew out with a whoosh. The three missiles split into hundreds of small missiles in mid-air and landed accurately towards the half-weathered pyramid.

Apocalypse, who had just stood up, noticed this scene and raised his right hand in disdain.

Hundreds of missiles all stopped in mid-air, unable to move forward at all.

However, the newly awakened Apocalypse was too unfamiliar with the era thousands of years later. He stopped the missiles from advancing but failed to prevent them from exploding.

Rumble!

Accompanied by bursts of explosions, the flames completely engulfed the pyramid with a powerful impact, raising huge smoke and dust.

"Haha! SHIELD is still somewhat useful." Stryker smiled as he looked at the screen, "What is Apocalypse's mutant ability?"

"What is currently displayed is telekinesis and molecular control." Yuriko said in a deep voice.

"If it were you, what are your chances of winning against him?"

"No chance of winning." Yuriko shook her head solemnly, "His ability is very powerful, with a wide range, and almost no limits.

Maybe after just one encounter, I will lose my ability to resist, and my self-healing ability will only make me die slower."

"Okay, that's great." Stryker looked excited, with an undisguised smile on his face.

He is not afraid that the mutant ancestor is not strong, he is afraid that he is not strong enough.

If Apocalypse wasn't so powerful, even if they released him they would just be releasing a powerful mutant, which would not affect the current situation at all.

Only when Apocalypse is powerful enough, unscrupulous enough, and even lawless enough, will humans face up to the threat of mutants and tear apart the false peace.
