Sebastian Shaw: "He can use a piece of memory to make a mental shielding helmet from sand?"
Lucas: "That's right! It's the same helmet that you and Magneto have both used, which can block others' mind control. He examined Magneto's memory and created an identical helmet."
Howard Stark: "If he can do this kind of thing, then his ability is truly terrifying. This shows that his mutant power has reached the atomic level, and he can even freely create elements."
Sebastian Shaw: "That's right! I have also studied that helmet, and the material needed to make it is extremely rare. Otherwise, I would definitely make more."
Lucas: "After Apocalypse built the pyramid, did he take action against Charles of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters?"
Howard Stark: "I don't know about this. Why would he target Charles?"
Lucas: "Because Charles' mutant abilities are exactly what he needs. Where do you think his vast array of mutant abilities came from?"
Sebastian Shaw: "Group Leader, you don't mean to say that he can take the powers of others, do you?"
Lucas: "Precisely! He has the ability to possess bodies. He can take over other people's bodies with his consciousness, and then convert their bodies into his own, thus acquiring their abilities."
Howard Stark: "Then he must have absorbed many mutants? No wonder he has so many terrifying abilities. If that's the case, then it's understandable why he would want Charles' telepathic abilities."
Sebastian Shaw: "Eric should also be his target, right? If it were me, could he take over my edo tensei body?"
Lucas: "I don't know! If you're interested, you could let him try it."
Sebastian Shaw: "Forget it!"
Howard Stark: "The Xavier School is empty. It seems that Apocalypse has already made his move against Charles. I think he may have spatial abilities, otherwise it would be impossible to capture Charles so silently."
Lucas: "Spatial abilities? He really does have those."
In the Marvel World:
Lucas appeared in front of Howard Stark. The two Infinity Stones glowed, quickly replenishing the energy he had expended earlier.
"Don't worry, I'm going to confront Apocalypse now!"
Lucas smiled slightly. The Space Stone glowed and transported him directly from there, bringing him inside the pyramid recently built by Apocalypse.
At the very center of the pyramid, there were two people lying on coffin-like stone platforms. They were Apocalypse and Charles Xavier, the headmaster of the School for Gifted Youngsters.
In the chat group:
Howard Stark: "Group Leader, isn't Apocalypse performing a body possession right now?"
Lucas: "Correct! Apocalypse not only commands numerous mutant abilities but also possesses powerful technologies beyond Earth's capabilities. Do you think the pyramids are merely for show? They're technological equipment created by his own mutant abilities."
Dongfang Yuechu: "I thought it was some kind of special ability! What does technology have to do with it? I feel like these two things don't go together!"
Lucas: "In the Marvel world, magic and technology aren't separate domains. Even Asgard, the so-called realm of gods, combines magic and technology. Why couldn't they be related?"
Howard Stark: "If I remember correctly, aren't mutants also products of technology? Or at least, the creation of mutants has a significant connection to genetic manipulation?"
Lucas: "Mutants are the product of scientific experiments. The Celestials imprinted genetic codes in humans that manifest as mutant abilities. Each mutant has their own innate power, which is their unique mutation."
In the outside world:
The complex network of lines inside the pyramid suddenly lit up, as if energy was being channeled from the top of the structure, causing all the lines to flicker from top to bottom.
Lucas calmly raised his hand and waved. A purple beam of light shot out from the Power Stone, blasting a hole in the pyramid.
Below, Apocalypse and Professor Charles, who were lying side by side on two stone platforms, opened their eyes simultaneously.
"How did you get in here?" Apocalypse sat up calmly and looked at Lucas with penetrating eyes.
He had placed defenses throughout the pyramid, making it difficult for outsiders to enter. Not only would someone need to break through his defenses, but they would also alert him in the process.
Yet Lucas had appeared without warning—the defenses hadn't been triggered, and the pyramid had been breached from within.
Lucas laughed. "You're not the only one with spatial abilities."
Professor Charles looked at Lucas and exclaimed, "This mutant Apocalypse is insane! He must be stopped!"
Apocalypse said indifferently, "Charles, you hold too much prejudice against me. I was once a king who ruled this earth, and it was only because I slept for too long that my power was usurped. Now that I've awakened, I merely wish to reclaim what was once mine."
Apocalypse turned his gaze to Lucas and calmly extended an offer. "Would you consider working for me? I can make you stronger than you currently are. I possess a special ability that can enhance the potential and strength of mutants."
Lucas laughed. "Your ability is indeed impressive, but unfortunately, I'm not a mutant, so it won't work on me. And you asking me to work for you—don't you find that rather ridiculous? The strong do not serve the weak."
Apocalypse shook his head and said, "Child, arrogance and pride will be your downfall!"
Lucas laughed loudly. "That statement is most fitting for you! Like a frog at the bottom of a well, you have yet to see the vastness of the world!"
Hearing these words, Apocalypse sneered. He waved his hand toward Lucas, attempting to use his ability to break Lucas down at the atomic level. In response, the gem in Lucas's hand emitted a purple light that blocked Apocalypse's mutant power.
Apocalypse was taken aback. "What is that?"
Lucas said indifferently, "This is an Infinity Stone. Haven't you heard of it? That's why I called you a frog in a well!"
With one punch empowered by the intertwining purple and blue light, Lucas struck Apocalypse fiercely. A lavender-colored spatial barrier appeared around Apocalypse's body, attempting to block Lucas's attack, but it was easily shattered.
After the spatial barrier was broken, Apocalypse was directly exposed to Lucas's fist and was immediately reduced to nothingness.
"It's over!"
Lucas shook his head and looked at Professor Charles beside him. "Your students will be here soon. Wait for them here!"
Professor Charles nodded and sighed softly. "What a pity! The peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants that I had finally established has been suddenly disrupted by Apocalypse. Was what he claimed true?"
Lucas said, "It's true! He was the king of ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, and he built all the pyramids. He constructed them for exactly the same purpose as this pyramid—to capture other mutants' abilities."
Professor Charles suddenly asked curiously, "Group Leader, you said you knew the original future, right? Since the Sentinel robots are our enemies in that future, how was Apocalypse defeated? I assume it wasn't you who dealt with him."
Lucas laughed. "Don't you have a powerful student—Jean Grey? She could completely destroy Apocalypse by unleashing her abilities. Although Apocalypse's powers are vast, they're nothing compared to Jean's potential."
Professor Charles' expression changed. He gave Lucas a penetrating look and said, "I didn't expect that you even know about Jean's abilities. So I have another question: if Jean is so powerful, why are mutants still hunted to extinction by Sentinel robots in the future?"
Lucas said, "Because of you, What make Jean so powerful is that she has The Cosmic entities Pheonix, and when this entities are still adjusting to Jean, you cam and lock it away. And in the future, when the Phoenix break free from your restrain, Dark Pheonix will be born, changing Jean into more dark version of herself"
Professor Charles asked with a troubled expression, "The Dark Phoenix didn't do anything catastrophic, did she?"
Lucas said, "Of course she did many terrible things, such as destroying your physical body, forcing you to transfer your consciousness to your brother's body. However, Jean's primary personality remained, which is why she was eventually able to suppress herself and allow herself to be killed."
Professor Charles fell silent.
Lucas didn't linger any longer and departed immediately.
Sebastian Shaw: "Group Leader, does Charles also have the ability to take over others' bodies?"
Lucas: "No, his ability shouldn't be considered body possession. His brother is in a vegetative state without consciousness, so there's no competition for control."
Sebastian Shaw: "That's good! If he had the same ability as Apocalypse, it would be too dangerous. By the way, what about his powerful student? If she can kill even Apocalypse, that's incredible!"
Lucas: "You, Eric, and even Apocalypse are all Omega-level mutants. But his student, Jean Grey, is a Class 5 mutant. The gap in power is so vast that Apocalypse's abilities can't bridge it."
Sebastian Shaw: "Group Leader, do you think there's any hope of recruiting Jean Grey?"
Lucas: "Who knows? Maybe you can try!"
