"The return of God will be guarded by knights; it's time to find my children with great talents!"
After Apocalypse obtained the information he wanted, he slowly walked out. He was going to recruit his four guardian knights again.
And before leaving, he did not break his promise to kill Huni.
For him, sparing a person or killing a person was both a divine grace from him as God.
He opened a portal and disappeared from his original spot. He was going to find his first knight.
Meanwhile, Magneto, after acquiring his helmet, quietly infiltrated Trask Industries.
He was very concerned about Bolivar's proposed Sentinel Robot design, as it would be impossible for ordinary Mutants to resist.
After changing into a Trask Industries employee uniform, Magneto blended into the team that was loading the Sentinel Robots.
"So these are the first-generation Sentinel Robots created by Bolivar?"
Looking at the massive robots, nearly ten meters tall, Magneto tried to control them, but, as expected, there was no reaction.
At this point, he knew that these dreadful things were indeed made of a high-molecular space polymer, as Bolivar had said, containing no metal.
These items were now to be transported outside the White House, because the President was going to issue a public statement regarding the Mutant issue in front of the White House in a few days.
These giant Sentinel Robots would also be officially unveiled to the World as exhibition weapons.
However, although Magneto could not directly control these Sentinel Robots, it did not mean he could not control them indirectly.
Now, he was going to do something big: using the public declaration in a few days to announce the arrival of the Mutant era to the entire World!
Quietly following behind the transporting robots, he boarded the train bound for Washington D.C.
When night fell, Magneto controlled the train doors to open, then flew onto the roof of the train.
With a slight lift of his hand, he directly flipped the train tracks behind it, opened the carriages carrying the train, and then divided the tracks into thin iron wires, which he infiltrated into the interior of the Sentinel Robots.
As these robots were completely infiltrated, Magneto moved his hand slightly, and without any command, these robots actually started up on their own!
"The bullets from the guns pointed at Mutants will eventually land on you damned guys."
After doing all this, Magneto returned to his carriage as if nothing had happened. Everything was ready for the curtain to rise!
...
On Shen Mu's side, he was currently standing on the highest peak of the World.
"System, open the newly recharged treasure chest for me."
[Ding! Treasure chest opened. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Guide to Divine Power Usage. Reward has been issued. Does the Host wish to claim it?]
"System, the Guide to Divine Power Usage, this thing is going to teach me how to use my divine power, right? It seems quite practical, huh!"
[Ding! Yes, Host's current use of divine power is only the most superficial enhancement of destructive power, which is too crude. If other systems knew my Host was a brute who only knew how to use brute force, they would laugh at me.]
???
Shen Mu did not expect that he would be scorned by the system just for asking a casual question.
And from that sentence, Shen Mu seemed to discover something extraordinary.
"You mean, besides you, there are other systems?"
Shen Mu asked curiously.
[Ding! Host's current strength is low, so you do not have permission to know.]
Shen Mu was once again looked down upon by his system.
"Heh heh! My low strength truly apologizes to you, old man!"
"If you put it that way, you also share some responsibility for my low strength."
"If you put more good things in the treasure chests you give me every time, like the heart of the universe, Origin Power, or something, I'll surpass the Multiverse in minutes for you to see."
"System, how about we make a deal? From now on, you secretly give me a backdoor every time, and I guarantee you'll gain immense face in front of other systems later."
Regarding the system's disdain, Shen Mu also argued logically.
[Ding! Please, Host, do not daydream.]
"Tch! I want to claim the reward."
Unable to win against the system, Shen Mu had no choice but to change the subject and claim the reward first.
[Ding! Reward has been issued.]
Instantly, Shen Mu felt a large mass of information, like a bursting river, pouring into his brain.
Shen Mu quickly activated his super brain to receive and digest this information.
After a long while, Shen Mu finally opened his eyes, a trace of crimson light flashing within them.
"Indeed, my method of using divine power was too superficial!"
"Divine Power can actually do many things."
As Shen Mu finished speaking, a golden light flashed across his entire body, and his enormous physique began to shrink, slowly transforming into a human form.
At this moment, Shen Mu, who had transformed into a human, was completely naked. His face was only about seventy percent similar to his previous life, and his steel-like muscles reflected an unusual light under the Sun's radiance.
He had long, black and red hair that reached his shoulders, and a pair of backward-curving dragon horns on top of his head. His eye sockets contained a pair of yellow vertical pupils.
There were two black wing patterns on his back, from which a pair of massive fleshy wings could extend at any time.
"In this form, my strength and speed are not too limited. It looks pretty good."
The body Shen Mu reshaped using divine power was not an illusion, but a real transformation of flesh and blood.
Compared to his original giant dragon body, this was like a second form.
However, to fully exert all his power, he still had to rely on his giant dragon form, and Shen Mu could freely switch between the two forms at will.
It was just that when Shen Mu looked at himself in the reflection, he always felt as if he had seen this appearance somewhere before. He rubbed his chin and began to recall.
"Damn it, I remember now, Demon Lord Chong Lou."
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Shen Mu, and he finally knew who he looked like now!
It was a character from a single-player game called "Chinese Paladin" that he had played in his previous life.
The same black and red flowing hair, the same style of vertical horns on his head, and the same retractable wings.
"There is no Demon Lord Chong Lou in this Universe, so I'm not imitating. I am the original."
Shen Mu clenched his fist in front of him, and instantly a light flashed, covering his previously naked body with a long black trench coat.
Even in human form, his nearly two-meter height still carried a suffocating sense of oppression.
"It's been a long time since I wore clothes. It actually feels a bit awkward."
Shen Mu smoothed his clothes with his hand, feeling a sense of confinement, as if it lacked the ease he felt when transforming into a giant dragon.
