"What bad luck." The non-mainstream girl gave Tianqi a gloomy look, spat out the chewing gum in her mouth, threw the knife on the ground, and raised her hands high to face the police.
"And you!" the middle-aged policeman shouted at the indifferent Apocalypse.
"Just a mere mortal..." Tianqi shook his head slightly and raised his left hand. The next moment, the pistol in the policeman's hand disintegrated into countless parts, clanking and scattering all over the ground.
"go!"
Apocalypse pointed his finger, and the policeman who was about to escape floated up and sank into the outer wall of the building next to him. The wall sealed his body like a swamp, leaving only a mural of a real person howling with his mouth wide open.
"Who are you?" The non-mainstream girl turned pale and sat down on the floor in the alley.
"Apocalypse." Apocalypse smiled slightly and pushed in the direction of the girl, as if injecting something into her body. The non-mainstream girl fell to the ground and struggled in pain. Along with her screams, white electric light began to awaken on her body and flowed away.
At the same time, dark clouds in the sky continued to press down, thunder roared, and lightning struck the street lights around the alley like dragons and snakes, scaring many passers-by and causing them to scream and flee.
"What's wrong with me?" The non-mainstream girl opened her eyes that were flashing with lightning, looked down at her hands that were wrapped in electric current, and asked.
"Child, you have power comparable to that of nature, and you are above the heavens. Follow me from now on, and help me create a new world ruled by God." Tianqi looked at her calmly and said, "Now, can you tell me your name?"
"Lord Apocalypse. My name is Ororo Monroe, Storm." Storm knelt on one knee on the ground and said respectfully.
"Let's go." Apocalypse casually opened a purple energy portal and extended an invitation to Storm.
"Lord Apocalypse, where are we going?" Storm stood up and asked in confusion.
"Gather the Four Horsemen. You are one of them, and there are three more. Once the Four Horsemen are in place, the whole world will surrender to us!" After Apocalypse said this, he took the lead and walked towards the teleportation portal, followed closely by Storm.
Academy for Gifted Young People, the former site of the teaching building.
Riven was lying on a large white bed on the third floor. Her upper body had been bandaged and the medical equipment connected to it showed a stable heart rate.
Charles, Hank, Azazo, and Garfield are all in this room.
"Raven, is she okay?" Charles asked softly, looking at Raven who was still in a coma.
Hank, who had transformed back into a human, pushed up his glasses and replied, "The first aid was successful. She is no longer in danger of death, but she still needs to rest for a while. Since she is wanted outside, I asked Azazo to move her back here."
Charles looked at Azazo who was leaning against the window with Garfield and said, "Azazo, you take action... Is that okay?"
Azazo understood what he meant and nodded, saying, "The young master asked me to take action. I don't know where he has gone now. During this period, I will stay with you if my abilities are still useful."
"That's good. Right now, we don't have many people who can serve as combat forces."
Charles sighed softly and walked outside. However, halfway through his walk, his feet suddenly started to move and he stumbled forward and fell to the ground.
"Charles!" Hank hurried over to help Charles up. Garfield also jumped to his side and looked at him anxiously.
"My legs..." Charles stared blankly at his legs which were losing sensation. He couldn't wait to say, "Hank, the effect of the medicine is almost gone! Hurry up and give me the medicine! Quick!"
"Yes." Hank quickly ran up to the fourth floor and took down a viewing device.
Charles, like a drug addict, snatched the syringe and was about to inject it into his arm vein, but Garfield suddenly jumped onto his knees and looked straight at him.
"I understand what you mean. But how can you guarantee that my abilities can be restored after losing my legs?"
Looking at Garfield, Charles' face showed pain and he said hastily: "I have lost enough."
Garfield leaps to the ground, pats his hands on the floor, and conveys his message: "So, there's nothing more to lose..."
Charles remained silent. He raised his head, looked at Raven lying on the bed, then looked at the videoscope in his hand. He hesitated for a long time, and finally put down the syringe dejectedly.
"Charles... Professor." Hank looked at him with relief.
"I remember something the young master once said."
Azazo also smiled, looking at Charles who was sitting on the ground, and said with emotion: "He said. If there really is a God in the world, then the person closest to God is not him, but you, Professor Charles."
In the heart of the Atlantic Ocean, on a remote desert island.
A two-story cabin has been newly built next to the beach forest. Caesar, who caused a sensation around the world, is wearing sunglasses, lying on a sun lounger in front of the cabin, and teaching Qin, who is wearing a swimsuit, how to swim in the sea.
"Teacher Caesar, don't I want to learn how to control my abilities? Why do I have to learn to swim?" Qin was washed ashore on the beach by the waves, and asked curiously with her eyes wide open.
Caesar yawned and said, "It's because you were too obsessed with controlling your abilities that you often lose control. You just need to do other things you want to do and naturally adapt to the power you have. I was like that before."
"Okay." Qin pouted and dived into the clear sea again.
Caesar took off his sunglasses, looked at the blue sky, and said to himself: "The calm before the storm."
Chapter 556: Return of Professor X and Logan
Inside the teaching building of the Academy for Gifted Young People.
"I brought this down from upstairs. It should be useful."
A ball of enchanting red flame glowed in the corridor on the third floor. Azazo appeared from it and placed a special wheelchair steadily on the floor.
Charles, sitting softly on the ground, had sweat all over his pale face. He stared at the wheelchair in front of him with a look of nostalgia in his eyes. He didn't expect that after all these twists and turns, he would still have to sit back in the wheelchair.
"Come on, professor, slow down." Hank transformed into a blue-haired humanoid beast, stretched out his strong hands, helped Charles up, and slowly put him into the wheelchair.
"I'll get you another glass of water."
Hank turned and was about to walk toward the hall, but Charles stopped him, "No need."
"Professor...you..."
Azazor stared at him, and his beast-like senses made him keenly aware that Charles at this moment was very different from before.
Charles put his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair and looked towards the hall at the end of the corridor. The next moment, a cup filled with boiled water flew over and landed lightly on his outstretched left palm.
"Professor. Your ability..." Hank's eyes turned red. At this moment, they seemed to have a pillar, and this academy seemed to have returned to its true core soul.
"Yes. My ability is back."
Charles's magnetic voice sounded steadily in everyone's mind in the academy. He was not excited, but had the calmness and composure of a professor.
Garfield jumped onto Charles' knees. Charles stared at it. In a short moment, his face showed some enlightenment and understanding. "So it turns out that the person from the future is you, Logan."
Future Logan rolled around in excitement. He had been in this cat's body the entire time, watching the situation go from bad to worse, and he felt very frustrated.
"No way, he is the future Logan?" Hank and Azazor looked at each other. Both of them were a little overwhelmed. The contrast was too exaggerated.
"That's right. From his brain memory, I also saw the light and shadow of the future doomsday, as well as myself."
Charles nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Logan, in your case, it's just that there was a deviation in the transfer of consciousness. Through the brain expansion machine, maybe I can use your consciousness in the cat to temporarily cover your original body in the current era."
Garfield's eyes lit up, he was fed up with this useless body.
