Without waiting for Caesar to respond, another figure stepped out from the purple portal.
The X-Men members looked over subconsciously, and were all surprised the next second. The person who walked out was none other than Charles, who was abducted by Apocalypse. Charles had a bald head and a pale face, but he looked at them with a bit of spirit, "I'm glad you're all right."
"Charles!" Raven couldn't wait to go forward and hug him. Charles hugged her back and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay now."
"We should be the ones asking you this, Professor."
Hank, who had transformed into his beast form, smiled bitterly, and the others nodded in agreement. They had been worried about Charles' safety for the past two days, fearing that Apocalypse would really take away his abilities and life.
"It must be Mr. Caesar who rescued Professor Charles." Alex laughed.
You can basically guess this without even watching the film. Caesar is probably the only person in this world who can successfully rescue Charles from Apocalypse.
"Wait. Professor Charles, Mr. Caesar, where's Apocalypse?"
Hank asked the question in everyone's mind, which was also what Magneto wanted to know. He stared at the purple portal that Caesar and others walked out of.
If I remember correctly, this mutant with portal abilities is -
"Apocalypse? Behind." Caesar pointed at the portal behind him. Everyone on the field thought he was joking, but as a foot stretched out, a thin old servant in simple clothes walked out of the portal.
"He is..." The X-Men members frowned, not being able to recognize who the old servant was, but they felt that there was a familiar feeling about him.
The old servant came to Caesar and stopped, waved at the purple portal, and the portal immediately disappeared from the ground.
Magneto Eric tried to call out: "Lord Apocalypse?"
Apocalypse raised his eyes slightly, nodded to Magneto, and whispered weakly: "I am no longer Lord Apocalypse."
"He's Apocalypse?" The X-Men members were stunned at first, then they took a deep breath, tensed their bodies and entered a combat state, and nervously warned Caesar, "Teacher Caesar, come over here, that man is very dangerous!"
Apocalypse almost destroyed the world, isn’t that dangerous
But Caesar remained unmoved, and Qin beside him also rolled her eyes.
Charles patted Raven's shoulder and asked her to let go, then explained to everyone: "Don't worry. Apocalypse is now following Caesar."
"Tianqi, has become Caesar's subordinate?"
The X-Men were a little dumbfounded, their mouths dry and they were speechless. This was too exaggerated. They could foresee that Caesar rescued Charles from Apocalypse, but they never thought that they could recruit Apocalypse as their subordinate.
That is a powerful being that is close to being a god!
"Sure enough, you are the strongest." Magneto looked at Caesar surrounded by everyone and whispered to himself.
"Eric. It has come to this, do you still want to continue?" Charles and the X-Men looked at Magneto who was standing alone.
"Why not? I never fought for Apocalypse, I only fought for my inner mutant beliefs!"
Magneto took a deep breath, and even when facing the X-Men team, the newly returned Charles, Caesar, Apocalypse and others, he still raised his hands stubbornly and manipulated the metal objects around him to float up.
Even if he is alone against the whole world, his inner faith will not be shaken.
Because, he is Magneto!
"That's enough, Eric." Charles narrowed his eyes, stared at him and said, "I know, I know you very well. You did it on purpose. After knowing Apocalypse's sacrifice plan, you first deliberately caused riots in New York so that people in the downtown area could evacuate. Then you came to Washington, seemingly attacking the White House, but in fact you just wanted to lure Hank Raven and the others over."
"Why would I do that?" Magneto said expressionlessly.
Charles continued, "Because you know very well how powerful Apocalypse is. Even if the entire X-Men team went to rescue me, they would most likely never come back, so you wanted to be the villain to delay the X-Men team."
He paused, and said, "Even if you were alone, you fought for us in secret."
"Stupid!" Magneto snorted coldly and released the magnetic field. The metal objects floating in the low altitude around him fell down one after another.
"Just consider it as giving Caesar some face. We have a long way to go."
Magneto turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, military vehicles and armed tanks came towards the crowd from the roads outside, and there were also traces of many fighter planes and helicopters appearing in the sky.
"Look, these are the people you are protecting. No matter what, even if you saved their lives, they still regard you as an alien."
Magneto looked at the nearby army with hatred and said in a low voice: "It's just because the blood flowing in our veins is completely different from theirs."
After saying this, Magneto's body floated up and flew away at a high speed.
Quicksilver watched Magneto leave, but he didn't call out "Father" in the end. He looked at the American troops surrounding this side, then looked at the others, and asked, "Are we going to retreat too?"
Charles shook his head and said, "If we want to leave, no one can stop us. But as Eric said, we have been running away for long enough, and running away is not a solution. If they want to fight, then we will fight."
Everyone stood there quietly without saying anything, expressing their attitude until the military vehicles and tanks stopped at the edge of the battle area. Fully armed soldiers got off the vehicles, hundreds and thousands of them, holding special guns, and surrounded them one by one.
More than a dozen military helicopters lowered their altitude and remained stationary fifty meters above the former White House site.
Just when everyone thought that a battle was inevitable, a bulletproof car suddenly drove into the area from the periphery. After the door opened, the president in a suit and a group of congressmen and military officers got out of the car.
"Put down your weapons!" The current president raised his left hand and asked the soldiers to disarm, then looked at Caesar and his party, and stepped forward with the congressmen and officers.
"All—
bow!"
When they got closer, the current president shouted, and he and everyone who followed him bowed at a standard 90-degree angle to the X-Men team.
"Only from a personal standpoint, I would like to express my highest respect to you!"
Chapter 571 See You Later
Washington, on the ruins of the original White House site.
A group of officials and generals who possess the highest authority and military power in the United States bowed collectively and saluted Charles and other mutants to express their gratitude. This scene not only shocked the armed soldiers watching, but is also bound to become a brilliant stroke in history that cannot be erased.
The current president raised his head, his face ashamed, and said in a deep voice: "I never thought that one day, the biggest threat came from the weapons we made, and the ones who saved our lives were the mutants we were originally afraid of."
Trask, the maker of the Sentinels, still kept bowing. The Sentinels he was proud of had become a weapon threatening the world. Now, not only was he rescued by the mutants he originally hated, but the Sentinels he created were also all destroyed by the mutants. He had no reason to continue the Sentinel project.
The current president glanced at him and continued to say to Caesar and others: "I cannot announce my recognition of mutants as president. After all, there is still a long way to go for mutants and ordinary people to achieve true peaceful coexistence without any grudges."
"But I am willing to do my best to build a friendly bridge between mutants and ordinary people."
He paused and said seriously, "From today on. I will strictly prohibit the development of weapons targeting mutants, including the Sentinels, and prohibit the military and certain underground places from arresting, abusing, discriminating, etc., and treat mutants in society indiscriminately."
"I think, Trask, you should have no objection, right?" asked the current president.
"No." Trask shook his head, looked up at the X-Men in front of him, and whispered, "I'm sorry for everything I did before. From now on, the Sentinel Project will be terminated indefinitely."
The X-Men and others collectively looked at Logan among them. Everyone knew that Logan came with the mission of saving the future world, and he existed in the present time and space just for this moment.
Even someone as resolute as Logan couldn't help but tremble slightly at this moment. He let out a long breath and muttered to himself, "Sentinel, is this doomsday nightmare finally coming to an end?"
