The President of the United States was about to deliver a political declaration that would influence the World's pattern in front of the White House, which naturally attracted global attention.
Representatives from various U.S. states' legislatures, as well as social celebrities, had arrived in Washington D.C. early.
Other countries in the World also responded, sending their own representatives to attend.
The day before the grand event, Magneto was on the rooftop of a hotel, gazing towards the White House.
"Because of our differences, you fear us, dissect, and study my kind, even creating such weapons to utterly destroy us."
"Since you want to officially declare war on Mutants, then I will use blood to tell the World that your fear is correct, and we Mutants are the future of the World."
Two silver iron balls flew from Magneto's hand, then spun wildly around his body.
"You're right, my child, you possess a talent that will make the World tremble."
Just then, a deep voice came from behind Magneto.
He didn't hesitate for a moment, and the two iron balls shot directly backward like two cannonballs.
With a whistling sound of breaking air, the iron balls stopped in front of the newcomer.
The newcomer was Apocalypse, cloaked, and beside him followed a black-haired woman in a sexy purple outfit.
She carried a long blade on her back.
This was Apocalypse's first knight, originally Psylocke, who in the future would be hired by the Mutant Caliban, but was now coincidentally discovered by Apocalypse, who intercepted her.
She possesses the special ability to materialize psychic energy, and is also a martial arts master proficient in dozens of fighting techniques.
Originally, with Apocalypse's previous standards for selecting knights, Psylocke's qualifications were not enough to be a knight candidate, but Apocalypse was eager to reorganize the Four Horsemen, so he could only temporarily bring her in to make up the numbers!
After using a potential activation on Psylocke, her psychic materialization ability was enhanced, allowing her to conjure various other weapons at will, and their power also increased significantly.
The next second, Apocalypse merely waved his hand, and the two iron balls seemed to have decayed through the ages, directly turning into dust and disappearing!
"Who are you?"
Magneto turned around and asked with a frown.
However, Apocalypse did not answer, slowly walking towards Magneto.
"Don't come any closer!"
Magneto said sternly, and then all the iron objects around him flew up, aimed at Apocalypse, as if one more step forward would result in these iron objects mercilessly piercing his body.
Meanwhile, Psylocke quickly drew the long blade from her back, holding it in one hand, while her other hand conjured a purple long whip, her gaze fixed on Magneto.
Seeing this, Magneto realized that the other party was a Mutant like himself, and the killing intent in his heart had slightly subsided.
However, he did not lower his guard, because not all Mutants are harmonious and friendly with each other.
"You are already outstanding, but you can be even more outstanding, my child."
Apocalypse walked up to Magneto, looked into his eyes, and said.
"Who exactly are you?"
"If you don't state your intentions, I won't be polite!"
However, for the arrogant Lao Wan, the other party's constant use of "child" in his tone was something he disliked intensely.
"I, Yahweh, God, Sun God, Almighty God, I have too many names in my countless reincarnations."
"I was born in Death, I will ignite the holy flame that destroys humanity, eradicate existing civilization, purify this World that has gone astray, and sow new seeds to nurture new hope."
"I am Apocalypse, the progenitor of Mutants, and the true God of this World."
Apocalypse solemnly declared his identity to Magneto.
"Haha! God? Where were you when our Mutant brethren were captured, experimented on, and brutally massacred?"
"And where were you, this God, when my mother was murdered?"
Magneto asked the question, suppressing his anger.
"Betrayal, slumber, I was trapped in endless darkness, I was not by your side then, but now I have returned!"
"Child, only I know the true power you possess, far more than you currently realize."
"Come! Follow me, become my knight, and together we will bring new order to this World!"
Apocalypse extended his hand to Magneto.
However, he underestimated Magneto, and also misjudged this era.
This was not 3000 years ago, where displaying a so-called miracle and then speaking a single sentence could make people kneel and submit!
Especially now, Lao Wan had not experienced the pain of losing his daughter and wife ten years later; he now regarded himself as a leader of Mutants, so how could he willingly submit to anyone so easily?
"If you want to be my God, then it depends on whether you have the qualifications."
With that, Magneto waved his hand, and the armor on Apocalypse's body began to violently contract and squeeze his flesh.
Psylocke, seeing this, was about to act, but the long blade in her hand immediately flew out and pressed against her neck.
The cold blade seemed to tell her that if she dared to move, her neck would be severed instantly.
Facing such a situation, Apocalypse showed no sign of panic, seemingly not even feeling pain.
Instead, he slowly raised his hand, then clenched his fist.
Immediately, Magneto felt that he had lost control of the armor on Apocalypse's body.
The solid ground beneath his feet seemed like a mud pit, making his feet sink in, and then gray-white sand and stone tentacles firmly bound him.
It must be said that the current Magneto still appeared too naive when facing Apocalypse, this old relic.
One must know that through countless reincarnations, Apocalypse had acquired thousands of abilities, and with the talent of awakening potential, each of Apocalypse's abilities was more powerful than that of its original owner, and when combined, the effect of each ability was not a simple addition.
However, even so, Magneto's talent was one of the few powerful ones he had ever seen; if it weren't for the extensive preparations and considerable commotion required for the reincarnation ritual, he would have wanted to switch to a new body.
"Child, as a God, I forgive your transgression, now will you become my knight!"
Apocalypse once again issued a team-up request to Lao Wan.
Magneto, being under the control of another, was naturally not a hothead, knowing that he had no choice now, so he agreed.
Subsequently, Apocalypse opened a portal and took Magneto and Psylocke to a desert!
"Child, a great potential is hidden within you, yet to be awakened, now let me see your true form!"
After speaking, Apocalypse stretched out his hand towards Magneto and made a grasping motion.
Immediately, Magneto felt his entire body begin to stir, as if a restless monster within him was about to awaken.
"Ah!"
The next moment, unable to bear it, he knelt to the ground, uttering painful wails, veins bulging on his neck, and his hands pressing hard against the ground.
"Do not resist, maintain your anger, recall how you were when you first awakened."
Apocalypse awakened the unawakened power within Magneto and guided him.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
With Magneto's roar, a terrifying magnetic field enveloped the surroundings, the ground collapsed, rock formations shattered, and countless broken stone dust rose like a tornado, a scene of doomsday destruction.
This was the true Magneto!
