After understanding modern Human Society, Apocalypse had always dreamed of resetting the Earth.
"Wouldn't it be better for me to be 'God' and lead the entire Earth? Why do these slaves develop on their own? Wouldn't it be better to submit to my Apocalypse's feet and receive protection?"
Apocalypse never imagined that after sleeping for thousands of years, the Earth would develop so rapidly, and there would be countless weapons that could threaten him.
Apocalypse did not have the ability to grant powers; although he could also control people, he could only control a very small portion.
Without Magneto's inclusion, Apocalypse naturally did not abduct Charles Xavier, who could grant powers. Without the Mutant ability to grant powers, he naturally couldn't control key personnel worldwide to launch nuclear bombs into the Universe.
Nuclear weapons were, after all, a problem Apocalypse couldn't avoid...
However! After joining the Hellfire Club, Apocalypse changed his mind.
After absorbing the Black King's philosophy, Apocalypse suddenly felt that perhaps a nuclear war would be the most beneficial thing for him!
Apocalypse possessed spatial abilities; as long as it wasn't detonated by his side without warning, Apocalypse wasn't particularly afraid of nuclear bombs.
Apocalypse feared the radiation after a nuclear bomb explosion! After all, the nuclear weapons of major powers fully implemented a 'binding' strategy; once a nuclear war broke out, it would inevitably trigger a global competition among nuclear-armed countries in a 'mutually assured destruction' game.
In an environment of widespread nuclear radiation, Apocalypse was extremely doubtful whether he could survive.
However! After joining the Hellfire Club and fully understanding the Black King's life story, Apocalypse suddenly felt that perhaps a nuclear war was exactly what he needed!...
Once a nuclear war broke out worldwide, Human Society would inevitably collapse completely.
And the Human countries, conglomerates, and organizations that were currently suffocating him would also be directly annihilated in the widespread radiation environment.
Even if a small group of 'unevolved' humans hid in nuclear shelters, their remaining combat power would have no impact on Apocalypse.
Apocalypse also didn't need all the weapons to detonate; he only needed to use his spatial ability to throw the excess nuclear weapons beyond his calculations into the Universe to obtain a perfect 'awakening' environment for humans.
He only needed a sufficiently dense radiation environment that could 'awaken' many Mutants and kill most humans.
But this widespread nuclear radiation was very likely to activate a large number of Mutants.
Perhaps these first-generation Mutants, whose Mutant abilities were forcibly activated, would have various illnesses.
But Apocalypse stated that he could absolutely afford to wait! He would wait for a few hundred years, until there wasn't a single human left on the entire Earth, and everyone was a Mutant.
Then, Apocalypse would reappear to create 'miracles', dispel the radiation clouds covering the entire World, and let the Earth be bathed in sunlight again.
By that time, he, Apocalypse, would be... the true and only 'God'! The God of Mutants!...
Of course, ideals are beautiful, but reality doesn't necessarily change according to his ideas.
At least, currently, a World War breaking out globally is possible, but a nuclear war is quite difficult.
The White-headed Eagle and the 'Hairy Bear' have been in a Cold War for so many years precisely because both sides are extremely restrained.
Because both sides know that the number of nuclear weapons they possess can wipe out humanity on Earth several times over, and neither side wants the entire Earth to enter a nuclear winter without a trace of sunlight after a certain day...
"Hehe."
"It is indeed difficult to launch a nuclear weapon now."
"But!"
"As long as the 'Hairy Bear' is dragged into the Water,"
"When the war develops to a certain stage,"
"You won't be able to avoid launching nuclear weapons!"
"Even if you don't want to launch them,"
"Then I will force you to launch them!"
For the ideal future.
Apocalypse decided that the direction of the war must be completely under his control! With this decision, Apocalypse began to quietly infiltrate the military command system of the Mao Bear.
Apocalypse didn't need to control all the generals.
In Apocalypse's view, he only needed to control those generals who had autonomous combat authority, and then, the future would no longer be distant!
"Boss."
"This Planet 5 is truly backward."
"Our mission target is actually on such a backward Planet."
Just as the World's attention was focused on the war-torn and chaotic regions of West Asia and North Africa, inside the Raiders' spaceship, the Raiders, who had already understood everything about Earth, looked at the information displayed after the spaceship's scan, pouting and joking.
"Damn it."
"If it weren't for such a backward Planet."
"Do you think I would take on such a mission?"
"You should know that plundering children, no matter which civilization in the Universe, is not glorious, and in some civilizations, it will even lead to endless pursuit and slaughter."
"It's only on such backward Planets that we can do whatever we want!"
Yondu touched the 'fin' on his head and retorted unhappily.
It should be known that not all Ravagers approve of 'kidnapping children'.
However, over the years, in order to deliver a large number of children to the living Planet Ego, all of Yondu's actions have long been ostracized by the entire Ravagers system.
Without the continuous information and resources provided by the Ravagers Alliance, Yondu and his subordinates had no choice but to fall into a vicious cycle of constantly 'kidnapping children' for Ego throughout the Universe.
As a result, the reputation of Yondu's group of Ravagers became increasingly bad.
By now, they didn't even dare to go to civilizations with slightly stronger capabilities, for fear of being discovered and dealt with by the'scavengers' or'saints' in those civilizations.
If this continued, his Ego's Ravagers group would likely fall apart very soon.
His subordinates, accustomed to feasting, were unwilling to follow him to eat porridge and vegetables... Moreover, Yondu had some secrets in his heart that he hadn't revealed.
As soon as Yondu thought of the scene he inadvertently discovered during his last 'delivery' to Ego's Planet, he began to strongly reject this behavior.
In fact, Yondu had even considered no longer accepting Ego's employment and finding a way to reverse the reputation of himself and his group.
However, without Ego's employment, Yondu's group, whose reputation was severely damaged, couldn't get missions or snatch good things.
What could Yondu's group, which only dared to mingle on the fringes of low-level civilizations, accomplish? Yondu believed.
All of this took a huge turn after he led his group to Earth!... "Leader!"
"Perhaps we can also capture some powerful slave warriors on this Planet!"
"They will surely sell for a high price!"
One of Yondu's subordinates, a very perceptive fellow, saw that apart from glancing at the mission target at first, most of Yondu's attention was focused on the data of the super-powered individuals on Earth. He immediately knew what his boss was thinking.
It should be known that ever since they started being 'interstellar human traffickers' and 'abducting interstellar children', they naturally came into contact with 'interstellar human trafficking', a business that is legal in some places but illegal in most.
To be honest, Earth, the Planet that the natives called Earth, its technological level was not taken seriously by the Ravagers.
However, many of the super-powered individuals on Earth could still give them a sense of crisis.
Especially that guy named 'Magneto', his threat to them was extremely high.
Although a warship and a spaceship are not entirely made of steel and alloy.
But it was clear that Yondu's group's warships and spaceships had not been demagnetized. Once they were exposed to 'Magneto', they would be instantly annihilated into dust.
Especially their boss, Yondu! That 'fin + arrow' that could intimidate all of them was completely countered by Magneto! As long as Magneto wanted to, Yondu would be instantly killed!
In addition, there was another individual who was a monster with group mind control. If these aliens were not prepared, they would also be instantly annihilated into dust.
Apart from these existences that posed a great threat to them, Earth also had a great deal of 'population resources'.
At least, for the Ravagers, they were 'population resources' that could be sold for a high price!... "No!"
"Why should we sell them?"
"Why can't we capture them?"
"Why can't we directly train them into a powerful sharp blade?"
"To tear apart those 'tigers' that make us fear?"
Yondu withdrew his gaze from the various data and looked around at his subordinates, who had all sorts of ideas.
"If we had such a powerful team."
"Then would we still need to continue kidnapping and selling children?"
"Those people in the Ravagers Alliance will eventually beg us to come back!"
As if thinking of some beautiful scene, Yondu roared excitedly and tremblingly.
