The passage of time did not stop because of Michael's seclusion.
Without external interference, Apocalypse's plot continued to advance.
However, this time, the progression of the plot was already very different from the plot Michael knew.
Due to the unexpected situation of Michael, Nina successfully avoided the 'brainless plot kill', and Magneto did not develop violent emotions as a result.
In fact, because of Michael's secret intervention, Magneto's family of three quietly went to Professor Charles's Mutant School and settled down there.
And without Magneto's strong emotional fluctuations, Apocalypse did not sense Magneto's location immediately. Instead, based on Psylocke's information, he found a Mutant who could control metal to replace Magneto as one of his Four Horsemen.
And it was this change that completely sent Apocalypse's plot down a detour.
Without Magneto's recommendation, Apocalypse did not go to Professor.
And without Professor, Apocalypse could not control various countries and forces to launch nuclear missiles into outer space.
After all, nuclear weapons could not all be controlled automatically by computers, not to mention that this timeline was only the 80s, and computer clusters were both huge and only served as auxiliary tools.
In this situation, Apocalypse had to change his approach.
If Apocalypse wanted to restart the social structure, he would inevitably clash with various major countries and forces.
Even if Apocalypse had collected countless Mutant abilities over thousands of years, having many but not being proficient in any described him perfectly!
Facing the inevitable military threats from major powers, Apocalypse began to move into the shadows.
Apocalypse began to use his abilities to amass wealth.
After accumulating wealth, he began to infiltrate the two major military power systems of the current World.
In fact, Apocalypse's idea was somewhat similar to that of Black King Shaw, who was defeated by Professor and Magneto working together.
Or rather, it was the exact same idea! For Apocalypse, anything not under his control must be destroyed.
After 'witnessing' the threat of nuclear weapons, Apocalypse was prepared to drag the two superpowers currently in a Cold War standoff into direct war!
In Apocalypse's view, since nuclear weapons could not all be directly launched into the sky for 'destruction', directly inciting the two superpowers to war, triggering the Third World War, and directly reconstructing the social structure was the optimal choice for Apocalypse.
What's more, Apocalypse, who had already gained an understanding of modern society, or rather, Apocalypse, who had already mastered a part of the Hellfire Club, completely agreed with Black King Shaw's judgment.
Apocalypse believed that a nuclear war might enable more ordinary people to 'awaken'.
With more people becoming Mutants, Apocalypse would naturally have more subjects.
Compared to controlling ordinary human slaves in ancient times, Apocalypse preferred to rule his 'own kind'! Since triggering the Third World War could lead to such a beautiful 'prospect', why wouldn't Apocalypse do it?
"We've received a new order!"
At a Base, in a command hall, a staff officer shouted to a robot that rarely moved from its main seat.
The busy people around paid no attention, apparently long accustomed to such scenes.
Several months had passed in a flash. At this time, the.
. company was already an extremely well-known professional company in the industry.
A 100% completion rate for all tasks undertaken naturally gave the.
. company an undisputed leading position in the industry.
Even if it hadn't yet become the recognized leader due to its short period of establishment, the daily influx of various orders like snowflakes certainly indicated the.
. company's level of recognition in the industry.
"According to."
Just follow the company's rules and procedures."
"Reporting to me, is there anything special?"
The robot, usually motionless for millennia, finally turned its head. The flickering light in its mechanical pupils made the staff member feel inexplicably nervous.
"Yes, yes."
"According to company regulations."
"This kind of extraordinary mission order requires your personal judgment."
The staff member swallowed, reporting everything in one breath.
"Hm?"
"Understood!"
White, which is the robot, nodded and directly retrieved the detailed information from the internal system.
"Yes!"
The staff member, as if pardoned, quickly sat down.
It had been several months, but every time he saw this robot, which behaved no differently from a Zhenren (Immortal), the staff member always felt uneasy… "Huh?"
"Russia hired us."
"Company, to break out of prison?"
"Emma Grace Frost."
A stream of information flashed through the robot's mechanical pupils at the speed of light. This was, of course, White retrieving relevant information from the database.
"Mutant."
"White Queen."
