Hearing Magneto say that, Shen Mu didn't doubt it.
Because with Magneto's arrogant personality, he would never stoop to lying.
However, even though he hadn't found Apocalypse's whereabouts, Shen Mu wasn't actually in a hurry, because since Apocalypse had already started collecting his Four Horsemen, the day he would cause trouble wasn't far off!
"I'll believe you just this once, but since you dared to attack me, shouldn't I kill you?"
Shen Mu said to Magneto, who he was still gripping by the neck, with a sinister look.
Upon hearing this, Magneto immediately felt his life was over.
Because according to Shen Mu's words, he hadn't pursued the matter of him killing so many people.
It made sense; the other party was a dragon, not human at all, so the lives of these humans had little to do with him.
However, a strong one's dignity must not be offended, even if he made a move because the other party wanted to stop him.
And judging by Shen Mu's recent demeanor, he seemed to have a grudge against Apocalypse, and he himself had just become involved with Apocalypse.
With these two factors combined, he truly couldn't find any reason why he could escape Death today.
"Do you have any last words? You can say them now! Otherwise, you'll never have another chance to speak!"
Seeing Magneto's ashen face, Shen Mu decided to scare him a bit more.
Actually, Shen Mu hadn't intended to kill Magneto; after all, he was a rare talent!
Especially now, after being 'disciplined' by Apocalypse, he seemed to be beginning to understand the true power he wielded!
As for Magneto attacking him, that was also within Shen Mu's expectations.
After all, who, when implementing their grand plan, would calmly sit down and negotiate if someone suddenly jumped out to disrupt it?
So, these words were merely to see how this fellow would react when facing Death.
"In the final stage of my life, could I say goodbye to Charles and Raven?"
Magneto had already resigned himself to Death; before he died, he hoped to say a final farewell to his old friends.
"Given that you are about to die, I will grant your wish!"
Saying this, Shen Mu extended a hand towards Professor X and Mystique.
Immediately, his telekinesis transformed into a giant hand that grabbed them.
"Charles, is that guy trying to kill us too?!"
Raven, unable to move while flying in the air, asked Charles with a terrified voice.
"Raven, don't worry, he is Shen!"
"He shouldn't have much hostility towards us Mutants, otherwise, he wouldn't have helped us last time."
Professor X had now confirmed Shen Mu's identity. Although he was curious about the other party's ability to transform into human form, he wasn't overly concerned about their safety.
The only thing that troubled him was Magneto, who was captured by Shen Mu.
He truly didn't want to see his old friend die.
So, he was already thinking about how to plead with Shen Mu to spare Magneto's life.
"What, he's that dragon?"
Hearing Professor X's words, Raven's face was clearly incredulous.
"Shen, I haven't seen you in a few days, and you've already changed your appearance. I almost didn't recognize you."
The first thing Professor X did after flying over was to greet Shen Mu warmly.
"Hm, but you're back in a wheelchair. It seems Magneto was right; your abilities have recovered!"
"Now, Erik has some last words to say to you. Cherish this last opportunity!"
Hearing Shen Mu's words, Professor X was somewhat stunned, because it sounded like Shen Mu intended to kill Magneto.
"Charles, I didn't expect us to meet for the last time like this. I look quite disheveled, don't I?"
Magneto said to his friend with a bitter smile, looking at Shen Mu's hand that was still gripping his neck.
"Charles, I hope that after I die, you can truly take on the responsibility of leading the Mutants."
"Don't think about escaping anymore; you are indispensable for the future of Mutants."
"Perhaps your ideal of Mutants and humans coexisting peacefully is correct. For this ideal, please continue on this path!"
"If your wish ever comes true, please tell me at my tombstone. Even if I am in hell, I will be at peace!"
Magneto had never hoped for heaven for the evil deeds he had committed.
"Raven, I'm sorry for everything I've done to you. From now on, stay close to Charles."
"Please be careful of an ancient Mutant who calls himself Apocalypse. He is a ghost from the old World."
"His power surpasses our understanding, and his ideology is even more extreme than mine. His goal is to destroy the World and then rebuild a new World from the ruins."
"At that time, everything will cease to exist, except for those he chooses."
Magneto told Charles and the others about Apocalypse, hoping to serve as a warning to them.
However, Shen Mu scoffed inwardly upon hearing it!
Apocalypse was indeed a powerful existence to Magneto and his kind, but in the eyes of Shen Mu and certain hidden individuals, he was merely a clown!
The reason he was able to run rampant on Earth back then was because the truly powerful ones didn't want to bother with him. After all, to them, it didn't matter who ruled this World.
But now, if Apocalypse harbors the idea of destroying the World, many people will not stand idly by!
First and foremost are the Sorcerer Supreme lineage of Kamar-Taj, followed by the gods of Asgard, and finally, Shen Mu.
"Alright, I'm done. Kill me!"
Magneto could now calmly face his own Death!
"Shen, please, spare Erik! Although he made a grave mistake, everything he did was for the Mutants."
"The reason he retaliated against these people is because many of our Mutant brethren died under their butchers' knives, subjected to cruel dissection experiments."
"Can you let Erik go this once? I promise he won't do such a thing again!"
Hearing his old friend deliver his last words, Charles couldn't help but plead with Shen Mu!
Although Magneto had indeed gone too far this time, he truly couldn't bear to watch his good friend die like this.
Mystique, standing nearby, dared not speak at all, as she had no connection with Shen Mu and hadn't even exchanged a single word with him.
"Charles, you might be mistaken!"
"I'm not killing him because he killed some people who are unrelated to me, but because of the consequences of his failed attempt to attack me."
Shen Mu's words sent a chill down Charles's spine.
"Shen, please spare Erik, I can do anything for you!"
Charles, seeing Shen Mu make that familiar opening gesture and with a faint golden halo appearing before him, instinctively blurted out this sentence.
"Oh! You're really willing to do anything to save his life?"
Shen Mu asked Professor X with a malicious look.
"Yes, anything."
Looking at Shen Mu's expression, Charles suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, but the words had already left his mouth, so he could only confirm it with a forced smile.
