Apocalypse, who had narrowly escaped from under Shen Mu's nose, now appeared as an ordinary person in a border town in Egypt, his black hood concealing his unusual skin.
"During my slumber, this World has become somewhat different! Where did that monster just now come from, to make me feel fear?"
"And what are these steel creations? Information, I need more information about this World, and this World also needs their God to lead them."
"I, Apocalypse, have returned!"
Walking on the town's streets, Apocalypse looked at the cityscape, completely different from three thousand years ago, and mused to himself.
In the era he ruled, there was only one God in all of Egypt: En Sabah Nur.
At that time, there was no existence more powerful than him, but after awakening again after an unknown number of years of slumber, he felt an unprecedented sense of terrifying threat even before he had climbed out of the ground.
He could feel that if he had been even one second later, he would have faced a huge crisis.
So, he now urgently needed to understand how long he had been asleep and who ruled this World now.
After escaping, Apocalypse immediately used his abilities to conceal his aura and placed several psychic barriers on himself to prevent anyone from finding him using psychic abilities.
As Apocalypse was walking, he suddenly noticed that someone was following him.
After a brief Perception, he knew it was just a few lowly mortals with some ridiculous malice.
Apocalypse had originally intended to kill these guys who dared to offend him in their thoughts.
However, he suddenly thought that he could just get some information from these guys' minds.
So Apocalypse walked into a nearby alley without a change in expression.
"Huni, did that guy discover us?"
One of the four following him suddenly asked.
"What if he did? Are the four of us going to be afraid of just him?"
The bearded man called Huni pulled out a folding knife about ten centimeters long, twirled it twice on his fingertips, and said fiercely.
"Follow me, if we can get something valuable from him, then our days will be much better!"
"I had originally wanted to stir up some trouble during the chaos when the sky suddenly turned dark earlier, but I didn't expect it to get light so quickly, which caused us to fail. We can't miss this chance again!"
After speaking, Huni no longer followed stealthily but quickly stepped forward and moved to stand directly in front of Apocalypse.
"Outsider, you dare to steal my belongings. Now, hand them over yourself, and we won't make things difficult for you. If you don't, then the knife in my hand will stab you."
Huni held the small knife in front of him and said to Apocalypse with a fierce expression.
However, because Apocalypse had his head down, his entire body was hidden under his hood, so Huni and his group did not notice his difference.
But, the next moment, Apocalypse suddenly looked up, and a dark blue face appeared in the eyes of Huni and the others.
"Mon... Monster!"
Seeing Apocalypse's appearance, these guys, who had never left this small town in their lives, were immediately scared and retreated repeatedly.
And Apocalypse slowly approached step by step.
"Get out, monster, don't come over!"
Huni kept shaking the small knife in his hand in front of him, trying to stop Apocalypse from approaching.
But they had no idea who they were facing.
Apocalypse merely raised his hand slightly, and from the wall behind them, tentacles made of sand slowly flew out, dragging them and trapping them on the wall.
"No... No, please let us go."
"We were wrong, please give us a chance, we are willing to become your servants."
Huni's three subordinates were so scared they were almost wetting their pants, frantically begging Apocalypse for mercy.
"Tell me, who rules this World now, and who are the false Gods you worship?"
Apocalypse asked Huni, who was trembling like a sieve in front of him, his eyes glowing silver.
"No one rules the World, I only know that the Officer of our Dahab City is Sayed Abdel."
"There are other countries in the World, the most famous one I know is the United States, which is the most developed country in the World."
"I worship Osiris, the God of the Underworld and Agriculture, and Anubis, the God of Death. I hope I will have a good afterlife after I die."
Under Apocalypse's mental control, Huni told him everything he knew.
However, Apocalypse was not satisfied with this.
"Not enough, too little!"
At this moment, Apocalypse suddenly saw the antennas on the building, from which he captured countless streams of information.
"What is that?"
Apocalypse asked, pointing at the antenna with his hand.
"That's a television receiving antenna."
"Take me there, and I can forgive your offense and let you continue to live."
After speaking, Apocalypse released Huni from the wall.
Unfortunately, his three subordinates were not so lucky!
Apocalypse merely hooked his finger, and countless grains of sand poured into the three men's bodies through their ears, noses, and mouths, eventually turning them into living bas-reliefs on the wall.
Huni, like a puppet, led Apocalypse to his home, turned on the television, and then stood blankly to the side.
Watching the suddenly appearing images, Apocalypse felt the information flowing within them.
He slowly walked forward, placed his palm on the television, his eyes lit up like light bulbs, receiving the endless signal waves spread in the air.
At this moment, countless pieces of information from modern society poured into his brain, and Apocalypse was rapidly accepting all of it.
After nearly fifteen minutes, Apocalypse slowly opened his eyes.
"Weapons, nations, once weak humans have now become the masters of the World."
"They betrayed me because of these things, these false Gods stole the faith that belonged to me."
"This World needs to be purified, and the ignorant need to be saved."
Apocalypse saw most of the information existing in the network World and understood the direction the World had taken after his slumber.
After his rule ended, the once complete and unified nation disintegrated due to strife, and humans continuously created more powerful weapons to destroy their own kind.
He also saw the various governments' statements about the Mutant threat, and Magneto's figure was imprinted in his mind.
"I shall return, and my Horsemen will join me in bringing a new order to this World."
"My children, whose talents have been constrained, shall become the new masters of this World."
"I will use the weapons you yourselves have created to destroy everything you currently possess, and I will also destroy that terrifying fellow."
Magneto, who was still preparing to seek revenge on Bolivar and those government officials, did not yet know that the ancestor of their Mutants had already chosen him as one of his Four Horsemen.
After seeing the nuclear weapons stored by humans, he had not expected that this group of mortals, whom he had once looked down upon, could now create such large-scale destructive weapons.
Apocalypse believed he had found a way to completely destroy Shen Mu.
