"Intruders!"
"Freeze, punk!"
"I want to see your hands!"
"Be honest! Raise your hands!"
"Quickly!"
"Otherwise, we will open fire!"
Apocalypse's shouts had no effect.
On the contrary, Apocalypse's roar brought all the armed personnel back to their senses, and they all raised their guns at the five of them, surrounding them… Damn it! If it weren't for this inexplicable suppression, how would a group of ants dare to disrespect a God?! Being pointed at with guns by a group of 'mortals' and being told to raise his hands in surrender, Apocalypse was furious!
But this… Base was too strange, especially for Mutants. Having their abilities suppressed, or even sealed, was truly a dangerous place.
Mutants without their Mutant abilities were even worse than ordinary people! Look at his Four Horsemen, whom he had subdued after waking up; they were all so suppressed that they couldn't move. Even the Metal Controller, who had some ability, was too scared to act.
And look at himself; his strength was suppressed to less than one-tenth (10%).
It was because of this that, no matter how much anger Apocalypse felt, he still forcibly suppressed it, not daring to show it.
Although he felt stifled, Apocalypse slowly raised his dark blue hands, under the shocked gazes of his four newly recruited Horsemen.
Huh? Just as he raised his hands above his head, a few streaks of blue light, and… a hint of joy, flashed in Apocalypse's eyes… How could this be?! Shouldn't our God be invincible?
To be honest, even though their abilities were suppressed, or even sealed, Storm and the other Four Horsemen still held onto hope.
That was an 'Ancient God' from ancient times! They believed that with Apocalypse present, even if they were temporarily suppressed, ultimate victory belonged to them.
But now, what did they see? Their revered 'Ancient God' was making a gesture of humiliation! Their God was being threatened by a group of armed personnel with guns, and then raised his hands! How could they believe this? Was this still the Master they worshipped? This must be some garbage impersonating him!
The pillar of faith in the hearts of Storm and the other Four Horsemen suddenly collapsed!… "Very good!"
"Now, you all split up."
"Hands on your head."
"Maintain that posture, and all squat down!"
"Move slowly, don't let us misunderstand; bullets have no eyes!"
Seeing the five of them obediently raise their hands, a large group of armed personnel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Damn it, even after several months, most of the Company's employees had learned that there were special ability users like Mutants in this World, but these five suddenly appearing inside the Base still made the armed personnel feel threatened.
This was spatial ability! Which armed personnel wouldn't understand the kind of destruction such an ability could cause?!… *Buzz* Suddenly, a man-sized spatial portal, glowing blue and crackling with electricity, reappeared behind Apocalypse, startling everyone present.
Uh, except for Apocalypse. "F*ck!"
. The employees were startled, and their firearms instantly opened fire, sending countless steel projectiles blasting towards Apocalypse.
Fortunately, because of the orders from these armed personnel, Apocalypse and the Four Horsemen had maintained some distance from each other. Otherwise, under this torrent of steel, it's likely no one would have survived.
However, moving even faster than these armed personnel was Apocalypse, the blue-skinned fellow.
Even before the spatial gate appeared, he had already taken a step back.
When the spatial gate suddenly materialized, Apocalypse plunged right into it.
But even with Apocalypse's swift movements, the steel barrage still caught up to him.
Puff, puff, puff! In just an instant, Apocalypse's body was struck by at least ten bullets.
The immense kinetic energy carried by the high-velocity spinning bullets instantly pierced through Apocalypse's suppressed skin, creating numerous craters.
Buzz! But in that same instant, the spatial gate, under the influence of the Base's force field, collapsed, or rather, Apocalypse actively closed it.
The injured Apocalypse instantly vanished from the Base. "Fuck!"
"Dig up his ancestral grave!"
"Catch him and shove his head up his ass!"
Apocalypse's sudden disappearance infuriated the Base employees who understood super-powered individuals, causing them to curse loudly.
They, the armed personnel who had participated in capturing Mutants over the past few months, knew all too well the high threat level of a spatial ability user. While the Base was safe, they couldn't stay there forever. The group turned their gaze and anger towards the other four who had arrived with Apocalypse.
But at this moment, these four were in a state of mental collapse, completely oblivious to the armed personnel's fury.
Has our God abandoned us? Is he truly an ancient god who has lived for thousands of years? Because of Apocalypse's outrageous actions, Storm, Psylocke, Angel, and Metal Controller—the Four Horsemen—found their faith collapsing, and they all began to drift into a daze. "Over there?"
"What happened?"
Just as the Four Horsemen were shocked by Apocalypse abandoning them, Professor Charles, in the neighboring Mutant academy, looked over with a solemn expression.
Although he didn't know what was happening over there, Professor Charles could feel an uncomfortable sensation originating from the direction of the Base, even a feeling of inexplicable panic.
In fact, Charles had already detected this wave of Mutant ability fluctuations when Apocalypse created a spatial portal to reach the Base.
The Base was simply too close. A distance of ten kilometers was incredibly near for Professor Charles, who could mentally scan half of the United States without a Cerebro.
But the moment White activated the Mutant ability suppression force field, the Base was like an eraser wiping something from a canvas; it instantly became undetectable.
Furthermore, at the same time, Charles also felt an inexplicable threat, as if a power capable of instantly subduing him was constantly hanging over his head.
