Chapter 727: Predicting the future? The base is destroyed! (Second update, please subscribe!)

~6 min read 1,199 words

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, dropped reward: Super Learning Ability (Apocalypse)"

Along with Apocalypse's complete annihilation, his last ability was also brushed out.

Molecular control, psychic ability, reinforcement, self-healing, defensive force field, teleportation, body replacement, dynamic vision, super learning ability—

Apocalypse's ability gift package is quite good.

Speaking of which, Apocalypse is also quite wronged; betrayed by humans, protected to the death by his subordinates, he fell into a slumber and was buried in the dark underground for so many years.

He finally woke up, only to become a gift package, giving away all his abilities, and then died completely!

If he had known this would be the ending, Apocalypse would have been better off dying back then; at least he wouldn't have been buried for so long, wouldn't have been eaten clean by someone, and then even his ashes would have been scattered.

Of course, Su Quan wouldn't sigh for Apocalypse.

Anyway, he had to die; there's no difference between being killed by the Phoenix Force and being killed by the Chaos Force.

Besides, being killed by me allows your abilities to exist in another way, which can help more mutants; it's truly dying for a worthy cause!

Furthermore, aren't you the self-proclaimed ancestor of mutants? Isn't it only right to make some contributions to the descendants of mutants when you're bound to die?

US Intelligence Agency, Department X base.

Broken walls and ruins, smoke rising everywhere, one bloody agent corpse after another was carried out from the ruins.

In a corner, Mystique and others gathered together with sorrowful expressions. Charles Xavier, Erik Lehnsherr, and Moira MacTaggert were also there.

Su Quan took a look; Darwin and Angel Salvadore were not among them, which means Sebastian Shaw had come with Azazel and Riptide.

The result should be the same as in the movie: Darwin died, and Angel Salvadore became a turncoat and defected to Shaw.

Before coming here, Angel Salvadore was just a dancer hiding her mutant identity. Even after joining Department X, she still suffered discrimination in the eyes and words of some people.

Then, Shaw appeared.

He destroyed the base with overwhelming force, killed almost all the agents, and told her from a high position that she could no longer be discriminated against, that she could live like a queen.

Without receiving real help from Department X, without truly changing her life, and even less without building deep friendships, it is only natural for her to change her allegiance.

"Where did you go?" Moira MacTaggert walked over and asked Su Quan.

Su Quan's peripheral vision crossed her to look at Mystique, who was a bit nervous behind her, laughed secretly in his heart, and said calmly: "Do I need to report to you where I go?"

"Shaw came; he brought people to destroy the base and killed many of our colleagues."

"And..."

"Darwin is dead, and Salvadore has also left with Shaw."

Moira MacTaggert didn't mean to question Su Quan; she just felt that if Su Quan had been here, these tragedies might not have happened.

After all, Su Quan is the most powerful mutant in their knowledge.

"I have my reasons for not being here! Have you heard of Apocalypse? It is said that he is the first mutant in the world and has been sleeping for thousands of years."

"Apocalypse?"

"The first mutant?"

"Sleeping for thousands of years?"

Moira MacTaggert and the others exclaimed one after another.

Moira MacTaggert asked: "You, you suddenly mentioned Apocalypse because...?"

"I killed him."

Su Quan said calmly: "He is stronger and more dangerous than Shaw. If he wakes up, the world will fall into a greater disaster."

"How do you know he will bring a greater disaster to the world?" Erik Lehnsherr asked.

"Just like I know you will be locked in a prison under the Pentagon, and you..."

Su Quan shifted his gaze to Charles Xavier and shook his head with pity: "You are even more miserable; you will only be able to walk with a wheelchair in the future."

???

Charles Xavier subconsciously glanced at his good friend and said sheepishly: "I still think it's best as it is now."

"Are you telling the truth or lying? They won't be that miserable, will they? Could it be that you also have the ability to predict the future?" Mystique couldn't help but ask.

As everyone knows, Su Quan has many abilities.

Su Quan shrugged and looked at Charles Xavier, who had been forced to shave his head bald, with a smile.

"You should thank me. If I hadn't killed Apocalypse in advance, you wouldn't just have a shaved head, but you would be bald forever."

His hair had been missing a patch before, and there was almost no other hairstyle that could save or cover it, so he had to shave it all off.

Charles Xavier touched his bald head and asked curiously: "What happened?"

"Apocalypse has an ability to obtain the other party's abilities by changing bodies. After his attempt to use you to control all human nuclear missiles failed, he set his sights on your body. The ritual of changing bodies would make you lose your hair, and it would never grow back."

Changing bodies?

Using Charles Xavier to launch nuclear missiles?

It's getting more and more terrifying.

Moira MacTaggert asked solemnly: "Can you really predict the future?"

"You witnessed the awakening of Apocalypse with your own eyes."

Su Quan didn't admit that he could predict the future, but every word of his was proving that he could.

As for whether to believe it or not?

That's your business.

Moira MacTaggert was silent for a moment and changed the subject: "Let's talk about what to do now? We can't stay here; we need a new base. Also, the Cerebro is destroyed, so we can't look for other mutants for the time being."

……………

"I'll solve the base problem; I know a place that is very suitable." Charles Xavier thought of his family's manor.

The space there is very large, and the location is also very remote, making it very suitable to be used as a base for mutants.

This time, it's best if there are only mutants in the base!

Moira MacTaggert nodded in agreement; after such a big incident, the Intelligence Agency could no longer provide the base and support for Department X.

"What about the White Queen?" Moira MacTaggert asked Su Quan.

Su Quan said: "She has other things to do."

Moira MacTaggert didn't ask about the White Queen's whereabouts, but asked about Su Quan's next arrangements.

"What are your plans? Are you going to the new base with them, or..."

Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier will definitely go their separate ways. Later, the new base will become Charles's School for Gifted Youngsters, which is the X-Mansion.

And after operating for not long, it will close down because of the Vietnam War, with teachers and students being forcibly conscripted.

Anyway, their abilities have all been brushed, and he is not in a hurry to recruit the several targets. He and Charles Xavier are not on the same path, so there is no need to go to the new base with them. ===== CHAPTER 729 =====
