Chapter 331 - 328 Sleeping Pharaoh, Apocalypse's Reward.

Luke noticed something was wrong when the spatial coordinates were disrupted.

He could have instantly opened a portal with his reaction speed and avoided the phase shift without any problem.

Instead of doing this, Superman, like a predator at the top of the food chain, took the initiative to step into the trap launched by Kang the Conqueror before his death.

He was curious about what kind of strong enemy the other party could find for him.

In the current era, on this planet.

The only people who could get Superman to treat them seriously were, probably, the Ancient One and Odin.

Kang the Conqueror couldn't call some Omega mutants, or a Sentinel, or Hulk from the future, to arm wrestle him.

"Oh, so that's how it is."

After a casual glance at the ancient Egyptian pyramid, Luke quickly figured out Kang the Conqueror's plan.

"If I remember correctly, he and Apocalypse have always been sworn enemies."

Seeing the ancient Egyptian pyramid, Luke's first thought was the God of Mutants, Apocalypse.

Kang the Conqueror once impersonated an Egyptian Pharaoh and had a personal grudge against Apocalypse.

Through the phase shift, Superman was brought into a pyramid.

What he wanted to do was self-evident.

'Using me as a knife to kill someone else?'

'But why would Apocalypse do what Kang wanted?'

'However, this is a strong opponent. '

Luke curled his lips. As early as the time he met the Black King, Sebastian Shaw, he had heard of Apocalypse's great name.

The latter, whose real name was En-Sabah-Nur, was born in the first century of ancient Egypt and was the first mutant in Earth's history.

Even Selene, the Black Queen, the witch with a long life span who was active in the Roman Empire, hadn't been around as long as the other party.

As for Kang the Conqueror and Apocalypse, there was a feud between them.

It goes back to a very early time, during the first dynasty of ancient Egypt when Kang the Conqueror pretended to be a Pharaoh and ruled the country with great power.

Apocalypse was just an abandoned baby, adopted by a wanderer.

As a futurist familiar with the plot, Kang took a fancy to Apocalypse's great potential.

Therefore, he intended to control the other party, accept him as a younger brother, and train him as the number one messenger and fighter.

But unfortunately, in this process, Kang messed up and unfortunately overturned everything. He was regarded as an enemy by Apocalypse.

After awakening his ability, Apocalypse led the Egyptian people to overthrow Kang the Conqueror's cruel rule.

When the latter saw that the situation was bad, he fled in panic.

This incident had always been a source of shame and humiliation for Kang the Conqueror.

Apocalypse never forgot him and always wanted to take revenge on Kang the Conqueror.

Since then, the two had been at odds and hated each other.

Kang the Conqueror, to defeat Luke, actually looked for Apocalypse and woke him up.

It can be seen that his resentment against Superman had surpassed his old rival in a short time.

'I'm obviously a good guy. Kang the Conqueror is the villain. '

Luke shook his head, not understanding what Kang's hatred for him was all about.

He was the light of the righteous path, the beacon of light on the earth.

An absolutely positive role, a superhero.

Was there anything wrong with killing a villain like Kang the Conqueror?

It clearly fitted the standard ending of a popular Hollywood movie.

'Apocalypse, worthy of being the God of Mutants.'

Luke's mind wandered as he walked towards the bottom of the pyramid.

He could clearly feel the dormant, sleeping, but still strong and abundant life energy.

Apocalypse was there.

And he was gradually waking up.

That horrible oppressive atmosphere, like a volcano, suddenly erupted, causing a sense of suffocation.

Luke didn't choose to leave but continued down.

He still had the leisure to observe the architectural structure and cultural characteristics of the pyramid.

Along the way, the murals and reliefs he saw were well preserved.

The Egyptians looked like they were doing a robotic dance, with animal feathers or bones on their heads as ornaments.

Or holding a spear and hunting beasts.

Or hold rituals and worship the gods.

The vivid murals depicted several aspects of ancient times.

Then again, the pyramids of ancient Egypt emerged as "one of the seven wonders of the world" because of Kang the Conqueror.

As a future man, he built the Pyramids while posing as a Pharaoh. Pyramids and sphinxes were all the 'creative things' he brought up.

Later, Kang the Conqueror was overthrown by Apocalypse; part of it was caused by spectacles and misunderstanding of the country.

Boom! Boom!

The thunderous sound spread far and wide.

The further down he went, the more Luke could feel a strong pressure.

Like sticky glue in the air, each step was a struggle for a normal person.

The energy radiated out, illuminating the dimly enclosed space.

"Is this … the God of Mutants?"

Luke stepped into the wide hall, and from a distance, he saw a tall man lying on a stone platform with an intricate circuit carved into it.

The other's skin was gray, lips were blue, and solid muscles like steel, exposed without any covering.

Thump thump! Thump thump thump!

The sound of a strong, powerful heartbeat resembled the beating of a giant drum.

"He looks like Thanos with a different skin."

Luke spat.

The body was bathed in the glow of energy. The strong and tall Apocalypse was indeed similar to Thanos, the Titan.

"Who… is …"

A thick voice echoed through the hall. Sensing an intruder, the gray figure slowly sat up.

When he stood up, the gilded stone platform turned to dust.

Then, it was as if a big invisible hand molded it. It turned into metal battle armor.

This powerful ability to manipulate matter was powerful enough to beat the Black King Sebastian Shaw, Mister Sinister, and other Alpha-level mutants.

"Did… you… wake… me… up…?"

Apocalypse, the oldest mutant on earth, woke up.

He opened his eyes and looked at the tall figure standing at the door, with strange emotions flashing in his eyes.

'This isn't Nathaniel Essex, the human who volunteered to be a slave?'

In this world, there was no one but Nathaniel who knew where he slept.

"The great En-Sabah-Nur."

Luke insincerely addressed with honorifics.

"Someone else woke you up from the deep sleep."

"His name is Kang the Conqueror, a man of the future."

Boom!

When Luke mentioned 'Kang the Conqueror', Apocalypse, who was still in a sleepy state, immediately widened his eyes, and his anger flared.

The terrifying energy impacted the void and shook the huge pyramid.

It was evident how deep the hatred for that damned bastard was embedded in Apocalypse.

"Where is he?"

Apocalypse clenched his fists, and his eyes radiated cold light.

He was just waiting for Luke to say where Kang was and immediately go punch his enemy's head off.

"Great En-Sabah-Nur, Kang the Conqueror -- is dead."

Luke replied.

"Did you do it?"

Apocalypse was surprised and then asked again.

"Yes, he and I happen to have some … personal grudges."

Luke nodded his head.

"Very good!"

The cold gray face of Apocalypse revealed a rare smile.

He took a step forward and slowly rose into the air.

The stone pillars and frescoes in the main hall were reorganized into a stone throne in a matter of moments.

Apocalypse sat on it, like a king and a god who ruled everything.

Looking down at Luke below, he generously asked, "So, human, what reward do you need?"

"I can make you a noble mutant, give you extraordinary abilities, and allow you to follow by my side."

This was Apocalypse's thinking.

He used to be a Pharaoh and a deity and had been worshipped by the world.

Therefore, it was a great honor to be able to follow him.

Besides, according to Apocalypse, human beings were extremely backward on the evolutionary level, quite behind, and completely inferior to mutants.

It was a great reward to turn a human being into a mutant.

"Sorry, I don't need these gifts, Great En-Sabah-Nur."

Luke lacked any interest and directly refused.

He had nothing in common with this old man, who had been sleeping for too long and had a rigid mind.

"Oh, I haven't experienced the taste of being rejected for a long time."

Apocalypse said in anger.

He was a noble Pharaoh and a great god.

Others had always begged and catered to him.

But this human in front of him actually showed an 'uninterested' look.

Outrageous!

"My reward will never be taken back …"

Apocalypse said in a deep voice.

Energy radiated out and enveloped Luke, who was standing in place.

When he first met Mister Sinister, Nathaniel Essex.

The latter knelt on the floor, almost licking Apocalypse's shoes, before getting the opportunity to become a mutant.

How could this man refuse him!

Apocalypse wouldn't allow it!

The energy glow attempted to penetrate Luke's body and transform him into a mutant.

However --

The latter directly opened his bio-force field and isolated the powerful energy glow.

"Who are you?"

Apocalypse was shocked, and his eyes glowed brightly.

"Since you asked in good faith, then I'll…"

Luke hadn't mentioned his history yet; the pyramid shook violently as if there was an earthquake.
