"Fang, do you know this Mutant?" Old Professor X asked.
"Yes," Fang Yuan sighed, "His name is Apocalypse."
"Thank God you actually know him." Logan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly lit his cigar. "Then you must know how to defeat him, right?"
Old Professor X and Old Magneto also felt a bit relieved. They both knew Fang Yuan had experience across the multiverse. Although this enemy was powerful, since Fang Yuan knew many things about the future, he should have a way to deal with it.
But Fang Yuan was not so optimistic in his heart, and even wanted to say—
"You guys are relaxing too early."
He did know how to defeat Apocalypse: just release the Phoenix.
But if the Phoenix were released in this World, it seemed the trouble wouldn't be any smaller than Apocalypse's.
Moreover, the appearance of Apocalypse in this World caught Fang Yuan off guard.
Although the dividing point between the X-Men's old and new history timelines is "Days of Future Past," the two Worlds actually have different worldviews.
For example, Angel; the new version of Angel was already active in the eighties, but the old version was only born in the eighties. Furthermore, Jean's setting is also different; after all, strictly speaking, they are two different series.
So at first, Fang Yuan thought there was no Apocalypse in this World.
He didn't expect him to suddenly pop up now.
"According to official news, intelligence personnel there investigated a few locals. According to them, a group of believers, in order to resist the threat of the Sentinels, offered prayers to an ancient god, and as a result, they summoned this Mutant!" Jean explained.
Fang Yuan looked at his Good Big Brother: "Do we have business in Egypt?"
The X-Men thought Fang Yuan was asking if they were fighting Sentinels in Egypt, but Shaw understood he was asking if their side had deployed Sentinels in Egypt.
Shaw shook his head: "No."
"Then what the hell were they praying for?" Fang Yuan cursed inwardly.
He suddenly realized that when calculated, the blame for this matter actually fell back on his own head.
If he hadn't created a global Sentinel crisis to raise the status of Mutants, those Egyptians wouldn't have been scared into looking for an obscure ancient god.
"What about Anubis? Don't people in that broken place believe in him?" Fang Yuan complained, "Or Ra would work, or Shu, Osiris, or whatever. Why look for Apocalypse?"
"Truly a bunch of heretics!"
Well, Fang Yuan found a direction to shift the blame; it was all the heretics' fault!
But the most important thing now wasn't shifting blame, but solving the trouble.
Fang Yuan's expression was very solemn.
Apocalypse was very strong.
His physical strength was extremely powerful; in the comics, he's stronger than the normal Hulk. Even if he's weakened in the movies, he's still stronger than the nerfed Hulk.
Not to mention his mental power, which completely crushed the middle-aged Professor X. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have Telepathy, the X-Men wouldn't even have a chance to fight him.
Apocalypse also has Wolverine-like self-healing, and his reaction speed can even perceive the Fox-version Quicksilver.
One must know that in Fang Yuan's previous life, some people had researched that the Fox-version Quicksilver's speed exceeded Mach 30 in "Days of Future Past," and when saving people from the explosion in "Apocalypse," he could even reach over 470 times the speed of sound!
Of course, this could also be an application of Apocalypse's powerful mental strength.
Furthermore, Apocalypse can change the molecular structure of objects and has powerful energy manipulation abilities. Although the Apocalypse in "X-Men: Apocalypse" is much weaker than in the comics, just based on what was shown in the movie, it's actually enough for him to wipe out the X-Men several times over.
It's just that for some reason, Apocalypse, who could insta-kill ordinary people with a single thought, only caused the maximum damage of breaking Quicksilver's leg and shaving Professor X's hair when facing the X-Men.
Apocalypse: "I don't know, every time I want to kill someone, a mysterious force tells me I don't want to."
The new version of the X-Men couldn't beat Apocalypse, and although the old version of the X-Men in this World is much stronger, they still couldn't win without counting the Phoenix Force.
Fang Yuan estimated his own strength. If it was the movie version of Apocalypse's strength—
He could fight him.
But he was afraid Apocalypse wouldn't play by the rules. After all, the multiverse is full of wonders, and Darkseid had already brought Fang Yuan a great "surprise."
But... it wasn't said that he had to fight Apocalypse.
Even if he could win against Apocalypse,
Fang Yuan's eyes darted around. Apocalypse seemed to look for his own Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and would enhance his horsemen.
Could he go and get a boost?
Fang Yuan acted as soon as he thought of it; it would be best if he could turn an enemy into a friend.
Apocalypse seemed like a good boss.
So he had the elderly Professor X and the others quickly contact the authorities to seize all the nuclear launch keys and prepare for battle at any time, while he went to Egypt first to scout the way.
He didn't call the X-Men along, nor did he arrange a live stream.
These methods are most effective only when used under the premise that things won't go wrong. If the live stream failed, the loss would outweigh the gain.
And Fang Yuan had no certainty about this Apocalypse's strength, so he didn't do any of those fancy things.
He directly changed into Fox's appearance and then opened a portal to Cairo, Egypt.
At this time, the Egyptian capital had already turned into a field of ruins. Everywhere were houses without ceilings or half-missing; these bricks and stones were all taken by Apocalypse to build the Great Pyramid.
This hundred-meter-high pyramid stood in the center of Cairo, incredibly conspicuous.
However, at this moment, no one was in the mood to look at the scenery. The people of Cairo had long since fled the city, and the Egyptian army rushed over, only to run head-on into Apocalypse.
Fang Yuan didn't go to help the army; his current identity was Fox, the big villain.
He first circled around the pyramid and scattered many good things in the city. Shortly after, Fang Yuan's body stiffened.
Because he sensed someone appearing behind him.
He quickly turned around, and sure enough, it was the blue-skinned bald head in armor, Apocalypse!
And the army outside the city... well, where was the army now?
"En Sabah Nur, the most powerful god on Earth!" Fox's tone was very admiring. He bowed and said, "I heard that you need the loyalty of four warriors. I, Fox, have specifically come to recommend myself!"
Fang Yuan's pretty words sounded very pleasant. After all, if a few lies could get Apocalypse to enhance his abilities, it would be well worth it.
"You know me?" Apocalypse was somewhat surprised.
Fox quickly replied: "Ignorant humans do not know your great name, but I have specifically studied history. If you hadn't been betrayed by humans, the current World would definitely not be in such chaos!"
I've been this shameless; he should agree, right?
Apocalypse slowly reached out his hand toward Fox. Fang Yuan's face under the mask brightened slightly, thinking the bluff had succeeded. Who would have thought that in the next instant, he felt a massive amount of energy press him down directly? Even with the Black King Template activated, he couldn't completely absorb it.
Fang Yuan knelt on one knee, struggling to support himself, only to hear Apocalypse explain: "I know you too."
"Your goal is also to rule the World, and you are not... wait, when did you become a Mutant?"
Apocalypse was a bit confused. The whole World knew Fox was a visitor from another World and not a Mutant, but Apocalypse discovered that Fox was clearly a Mutant now.
One could only say that the power of the Character Template was indeed very strong.
"Regardless, you are my enemy!" Although Apocalypse was confused, he clearly had great hostility toward Fox.
