Chapter 784 "Improving Power"
After the First War, Charles and Erik combined Jerry's suggestions and divided the mutant force they had formed into four departments.
The first department, Xavier School for the Gifted, is Charles' sole responsibility. It is mainly responsible for determining the location of mutants through the device, and its responsibility is to guide the development of mutants' abilities.
The second department, the X-Men Intelligence Department, is headed by Raven. Its main task is to recruit mutants found by Charles and obtain important intelligence from various human countries.
Erik is responsible for the third department, the Brotherhood Operations Department, which leads mutants who are good at fighting to carry out high-profile forces against mutants who do evil and humans who harm mutants.
Hank handles the fourth department, the Scientific Research Department. This department recruits mutants with scientific research capabilities and develops various equipment to enhance their power.
Because of the Human Repelling Magic that Jerry put into the castle, even if all countries are now unfriendly to mutants, they still don't know what to do if everyone is against them.
"He is the mutant you said can help us improve our abilities?"
In the laboratory, Charles, Erik, and Hank gathered together and looked at the Apocalypse in Jerry's hand with curious expressions.
"Yes, his name is Apocalypse, one of the earliest mutants." Jerry quickly explained Apocalypse's origins, abilities, and the purpose of bringing him here.
"So, he is over 5,000 years old?" Hank looked at Apocalypse as if he were looking at a mummy.
Charles beside him frowned, "According to what you said, I'm afraid that after he wakes up and regains his ability, he may not be willing to help us."
He is more worried that the Apocalypse will pose a threat to the entire world after waking up. After all, according to Jerry, the Apocalypse is not a good person and has more than 200 abilities, which is much more terrifying than Black King.
Although Erik was also a little worried, he patted Charles on the shoulder to comfort him, "I don't think there's any need to worry about this. Since Jerry brought him here, there must be a way for us to do something."
Erik knew Charles so well that he naturally knew what Charles was worried about, but after seeing Jerry kill Black King instantly, he felt that even the first mutant might not be able to make any resistance.
Charles nodded when he heard this but raised his hand still, ready to use his ability to stop the Apocalypse at any time.
"Alright, let's wake him up."
Jerry carried Apocalypse to the laboratory window and placed it on the ground so that sunlight could shine directly on him through the glass. Apocalypse, who had been reincarnated many times, acquired the ability to absorb energy similar to Black King. He can quickly obtain energy from the sun through sunlight.
Five minutes later, Apocalypse's eyelids trembled slightly and opened. Apocalypse's brain was in chaos when he just woke up. After a while, he recalled everything that happened before he fell asleep, and his whole body instantly rose from the ground.
"Where is this? Who are you?" Apocalypse looked at the surrounding environment.
Jerry did not answer but reached out to pick up a TV in the laboratory, turned it on, and handed it to Apocalypse.
"It's five thousand years later. You can get a quick explanation of the world's situation through this."
Among Apocalypse's more than two hundred abilities, there is one called super-efficient learning, which can learn a large amount of knowledge in a short time. A minute later, Apocalypse's eyes returned to normal from white, and he ordered the four in fluent English.
"A mere slave rules the world. I need to re-establish my empire. If you bow to me, I can help you improve your abilities and lead you to destroy mankind."
Through the TV, Apocalypse not only quickly learned all the current languages but also completed the five thousand years of history and saw the deeds of Erik and other mutants in news reports.
"We do not intend to eliminate mankind, nor will we let you eliminate mankind. If you are willing to join us, you can become a professor in our school." Hearing Apocalypse's tone, Charles slowly raised his hand and replied.
"That's not up to you. Either bow to me or die." Apocalypse's eyes turned cold, and the walls around the laboratory immediately began to decompose.
As a former ruler, Apocalypse never allowed others to disobey him. Those who dared to disobey him would die. Seeing that Apocalypse was about to launch an attack, Charles immediately put his fingers on his head to control his mind. However, Apocalypse's mental power is stronger than Charles's, and he cannot stop him at all.
Erik controlled the steel pipe in the laboratory and inserted it into Apocalypse. However, Apocalypse pulled out the steel pipe like a normal person, and his physical body healed instantly. His self-healing ability surpassed Logan's.
Every mutant has a weakness. People like Black King and Erik are afraid of mental-based ability mutants, while mutants with mental abilities like Charles have a physical weakness.
But Apocalypse is different. Because of his continuous reincarnation, he has acquired the abilities of more than two hundred mutants. No matter whether it is mental or physical, he has no flaw.
However, before Apocalypse could use his ability to fight back, Jerry had already cast an Imperius Curse on him. Because Charles' mental power is not as strong as Apocalypse, he can't control him. However, Jerry is stronger than Apocalypse.
"Okay, now we can start strengthening our abilities."
Attacked by Jerry's magic, Apocalypse stood behind Jerry with empty eyes, no longer having that domineering and terrifying feeling as before. Erik put down all the metals around him and patted Charles on the shoulder.
"I told you Jerry can handle him."
Hank also breathed a sigh of relief. The next step is simple. Under Jerry's orders, Apocalypse helped Charles improve his abilities. Through the fourth generation of the brainwave amplifier, Charles can now clearly locate and see any mutant on the planet.
After activating his abilities, Jerry asked Apocalypse to help Erik, Hank, Logan, Raven, and others improve their abilities as well.
