Chapter 603
It was weak at first, but if given enough time to grow,
he could become extremely powerful.
This is also why Jiang Hao targeted Apocalypse.
Moreover, this energy absorption ability, he can also use on others.
For example, directly injecting his own internal energy into another's body to strengthen them.
In the original movie, Old Wan was originally a Beta-level mutant.
Only after receiving Apocalypse's enhancement did he reach Alpha level.
Thus his power surged dramatically.
Erik heard Jiang Hao's words and was puzzled.
But he did not ask further, instead quietly staying beside Jiang Hao.
Since Jiang Hao had come here, the answer would surely be revealed soon.
In this situation, what more did he have to ask?
Jiang Hao naturally knew where Apocalypse was buried underground.
So he directly brought Erik and the others to the surface above where Apocalypse was buried.
Above the surface where Apocalypse was buried lay a stretch of Cairo street, atop which stood a hotel.
After thousands of years of change, who would know that beneath this inn lay a massive pyramid?
And with it, a terrifying monster.
Seeing Jiang Hao suddenly stop, Erik was puzzled.
But he asked nothing.
Since Erik, the leader, said nothing,
the members of the Hellfire Club dared not speak either.
"Mr.?"
"We've arrived."
"Arrived?" Erik looked up at the hotel before him and froze for a moment.
Because the timeline was too early,
more than ten years remained before the Apocalypse storyline began.
The large hole that should have existed in the movie was not there yet.
So Erik's attention remained on the surface.
He did not at first consider that Jiang Hao was looking for someone underground.
"It's below," Jiang Hao said.
Erik paused.
Immediately he realized Jiang Hao meant underground.
With his telepathic sense, he immediately probed the ground beneath his feet.
To his surprise, he truly sensed a person down below.
With telepathy, as long as a person was alive and their brain had not died, he could sense them.
Moreover, Erik discovered the person beneath the ground was also a mutant.
Knowing the other's identity, he finally understood Jiang Hao's purpose in coming here.
"Mr., should I pull him out?"
"No need, I'll handle it. If you do, it'll be too noisy," Jiang Hao shook his head.
Erik's ability was magnetism.
After Jiang Hao casually mentioned a few things, his ability had already begun developing toward electromagnetism.
Now, what he could control was no longer just metal.
He could control other things too.
Of course, due to its magnetic nature, controlling metal was still simpler than controlling other things.
But without doubt, Old Wan, who could now control anything instead of just metal, had seen his combat power greatly enhanced.
Moreover, he now possessed telepathy and mind control as well.
Plus a level-one super-soldier physique.
He was now extremely powerful.
In terms of destructive power alone, even the underground Apocalypse could not match Erik now.
Unless Apocalypse could also reach Level Five mutant status,
he could barely suppress Old Wan; otherwise, a Level Four peak Apocalypse was no match for Old Wan.
Jiang Hao made no visible movement.
A wormhole suddenly appeared out of thin air.
From the other end, a strange-looking man flew out directly.
The man's body was slightly black-blue, clad in a blue robe.
He looked like an alien.
The mutants of the Hellfire Club were all astonished.
But not a single one spoke.
They simply watched in silence.
This strange man was none other than Apocalypse.
The first mutant born in the X-Men World.
At least within the setting's background, Apocalypse was indeed the first mutant to be born.
And Jiang Hao directly tore through Apocalypse's skin.
Directly extracting blood from within his body.
And after Jiang Hao tore through Apocalypse's skin, the latter woke up immediately.
He had never died.
He had merely fallen into hibernation.
0????? Begging for flowers? ·······
When Jiang Hao tore through his skin,
He reacted instantly.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his own blood leaving his body.
Subconsciously, he used his telekinesis to try and 'grab' the blood back.
But he found it was completely useless.
A far more powerful force pressed down directly.
Leaving him utterly unable to resist.
Apocalypse was greatly shocked.
Only then did Apocalypse fully come to his senses.
He rose from the ground, his gaze turning toward Jiang Hao, Erik, and the others.
At this moment, Jiang Hao had just finished storing away Apocalypse's blood.
Apocalypse is the Superman among mutants; the value of his blood is still very high.
His genes hold great research value.
"Who are you?" Apocalypse asked, looking at Jiang Hao, Erik, and the others before him.
Apart from Jiang Hao, Apocalypse was surprised to discover that Erik, and the group behind him, were all mutants.
In his era, mutants were not numerous.
He himself was the first mutant to be born.
But after that, the mutants he found were extremely few.
He ruled over humanity for hundreds of years and found only a handful of mutants.
Yet at this moment, besides Erik, more than a dozen mutants were following behind him.
