Bab 75: Altered Fate
"Eric, congratulations!"
Charles expressed his joy at seeing Eric's marriage to an ordinary human and the birth of his child as a significant step towards peace. This union symbolized Eric's acceptance of humanity, a positive development in their shared goal of coexistence.
While Eric was outside playing a game with his daughter on the lawn, he suddenly felt a disturbance in Charles's psychic power, as if his thoughts had been invaded.
"Charles?" Eric questioned, sensing the intrusion.
"Eric, did you feel it? The earthquake just now wasn't ordinary; a Mutant force caused it. A powerful, unknown Mutant is at play," Charles communicated through telepathy.
Eric furrowed his brow at the news. He understood the implications – an unknown, powerful Mutant acting recklessly could lead to unforeseen consequences.
"An unknown, powerful Mutant," Charles reiterated.
Eric, committed to securing a bright future for Mutants, found his efforts jeopardized by the sudden appearance of a Mutant causing chaos.
"This man is dangerous. We must find him and have a serious conversation with him!"
Eric and Charles quickly reached a consensus, planning to confront "Apocalypse" and address the potential threats he posed.
However, Alex, sensing the powerful psychic fluctuations, understood that this encounter wouldn't be a simple conversation. Apocalypse, driven by a desire for control, wasn't likely to engage in a peaceful dialogue.
"I remember that in the original book, Eric's daughter met a tragic end. Since I'm here, I must change it," Alex mused, a slight smile forming on his lips. He decided to alter the storyline and ensure the safety of Eric's daughter in the face of impending danger. Alex extended his psychic power.
.....
Nature Affinity? An excellent ability." Alex observed the scene in Poland at the moment.
A villa nestled by the forest.
Behind the house, a dense forest teeming with various animals stretched out. A little girl of about five or six skipped into the forest, a small basket in hand for mushroom picking.
A flock of birds chirped joyfully, fluttering and flying above the little girl's head. A little deer extended its neck to nuzzle the girl, eliciting laughter from her.
A pack of wolves emerged from the woods, behaving like playful dogs, feeding the little girl and wagging their tails.
"Such a powerful ability and such an innocent girl—it would be a shame if anything happened." Alex shook his head and withdrew his psychic power.
....
In the city of Cairo, Storm, still maintaining her non-mainstream look, found herself being pursued by a group of people after getting into trouble on the street.
"Apocalypse," who had just emerged from the ground, witnessed the scene.
"The strong rule the weak; that's the truth. You possess formidable power, so why are you still being pursued by these ants?"
Apocalypse waved his hand, utilizing his ability to embed the people chasing Storm Aurora into the wall.
"Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."
Storm responded to Apocalypse in her native ancient Egyptian language, expressing her lack of understanding.
Despite the language barrier, Storm, recognizing a fellow Mutant, decided to bring Apocalypse back home. Leaving this potentially dangerous Mutant outside could lead to more trouble.
"Who is ruling this world now?"
Accompanying Storm to her house, Apocalypse learned some modern languages along the way and awkwardly inquired about the current state of affairs.
"Ruler? There are many!" Storm shrugged, her tone calm. "Every ten years, there's a change of rulers. Too many to bother remembering their names. Why do you ask?"
"Too many?" Apocalypse frowned, struggling to comprehend the world as it is now.
Shouldn't there be only one supreme ruler?
In silence, Apocalypse lifted his gaze, scanning Storm's house. His eyes caught the television.
Apocalypse possessed the ability to "soul transfer" or "possess others' bodies." When occupying a Mutant's body, he could wield the abilities inherent to that Mutant.
Stretching out his hand and pointing towards the TV, Apocalypse, following the radio waves emitted by it, unleashed his "spiritual wave" ability, extending its influence throughout the world.

Bab 76: The Four Horsemen of Apocalypse
A harsh electric current noise emanated from the TV, catching Storm's attention.
"What are you doing?" she asked Apocalypse, puzzled by his unusual behavior.
"Learn!" Apocalypse responded, closing his eyes as he absorbed information from the television. When he opened his eyes again, his fingers, previously attached to the TV, had been retracted, and he calmly announced, "I have finished learning!"
Apocalypse, having absorbed countless information from radio waves, had gained an understanding of the current era.
"This world has fallen! My subjects, my believers, have abandoned their faith! This is betrayal! How dare you forsake your god and your master. This is blasphemy!"
Apocalypse expressed his disappointment in the world's current state, perceiving it as fallen and corrupted. He believed that the world needed purification.
"Rotten! Fallen! War! Destruction! This world has gone astray! This world needs to be purified!"
Turning to Storm Orolo, he spoke softly, "My child, I feel the pain in your heart. Poverty, hunger, oppression, discrimination—your heart is full of pain. Child, come to me. I will bring you a new life, a life without poverty, hunger, oppression, or discrimination."
Storm, with a non-mainstream appearance, was thoroughly confused by Apocalypse's words. A new life without these issues? Was he suggesting robbing a bank? Storm suspected such actions would lead to death by gunfire.
"My child, your power is divine. However, you have not truly mastered it!"
Apocalypse extended his palm and placed it on Storm Orolo's shoulder, stating with seriousness, "Feel the power of the Storm! You are the master of the Storm and thunder, and you are my knight!"
With his ability of "Abilities Strengthening," Apocalypse activated Storm's mutant genes completely. In scientific terms, this meant the full activation of her mutant abilities.
Lightning crackled around Storm as her eyes turned silvery white, and her hair followed suit.
"Um... Yes... More..."
Feeling the surging power within her, Storm looked at Apocalypse in shock and exclaimed, "This is the strength you've given me, my lord!"
Apocalypse removed his hand from Storm Orolo's shoulder, offering a smile, and said, "Come with me, my Storm Knight. I must find other knights."
"Knight?"
When Storm heard the term, she shrugged and remarked, "Well, it's not the Middle Ages anymore!"
Unfazed, Apocalypse smiled and replied, "Don't worry, the Middle Ages will come soon."
Leaving Storm's residence, Apocalypse guided Storm to an underground bar.
This establishment served as a black market for selling news and prohibited items.
"It's closed. Come back tomorrow if you have something to do!"
Upon entering the underground bar, the bald boss casually dismissed them without raising his head, burning banknotes in the process.
However, Apocalypse and Storm paid no heed and approached the bald boss directly.
"I said, it's closed!"
The bald guy, confident in his status as the boss of the underground black market, intended to teach Apocalypse and Storm a lesson for offending him.
"Deal with them!"
The bald boss shouted, reaching for a gun on the table.
In a flash, a blade of light streaked through the air. A woman dressed in black tights held a katana against Storm's neck.
"Um?"
Apocalypse frowned, about to speak.
"Leaf..."
With a scream, Psylocke's left hand, initially empty, suddenly emitted a blue light, transforming into a lightsaber, pressing against Apocalypse's neck.
"Get out!"
The bald boss yelled at Apocalypse, threatening to throw their corpses out if they didn't comply.
"Nice power!"
Apocalypse paid no attention to the bald guy and directed his smile toward Psylocke, saying, "Child, you possess formidable power. Why do you have to obey the orders of a mere ant? The strong can rule the weak."
"Die"
The bald man, incensed by Apocalypse's defiance, raised the revolver in his hand and pulled the trigger.
"A group of ants is a group of ants!"
Apocalypse shook his finger. The revolver in the bald man's hand instantly decomposed, transforming into a pile of sand that spilled to the ground.
"Child, we are of the same kind."
Apocalypse smiled at Psylocke, reaching out to tap her lightsaber. "Your power is formidable, but it can be even stronger!"
Psylocke's lightsaber exploded into a dazzling brilliance, transforming into a multitude of lightsabers.
Psylocke was thoroughly astonished, gazing at Apocalypse in disbelief.
"Your power is a weapon of thought; it can become any kind of weapon you desire. Not just a sword!" Apocalypse regarded Psylocke with an amused expression.
"What do you want?"
The bald man now realized that Apocalypse was not someone to be trifled with, quickly attempting to soothe him.
"I want..."
Apocalypse pointed at Psylocke, "Her!"
