Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 412 Need More

In a remote slum area in Cairo, a wide and deep pit is gradually taking shape and widening due to the continuous excavation by several machines and a large number of soldiers.

At the edge of the pit, Xu Yue and Afu were quietly overlooking the progress of the entire pit project. In order to revive the mutant god from thousands of years ago, sunlight was the key energy source to reawaken his vitality, so before implementing the plan, he first needed to dig a connecting channel that led directly to the underground space.

"how long will it take?"

Facing Xu Yue's question, Ah Fu, who was a little behind, did not hesitate and replied without thinking:

"It will take at most two days to dig through completely. Then, as long as we lift the curtain covering the golden roof, we can wake up the Apocalypse sleeping underground at any time."

"Well, no rush. We still have plenty of time. How is Cairo doing?"

After nodding faintly, Xu Yue no longer paid attention to the construction site in front of him. He turned around and looked behind him. Even though it was night time, as far as the eye could see, the densely packed high-rise buildings and the unbearable colorful neon lights filled the entire night.

This is Cairo, the capital of Egypt and the largest city in Africa and the Arab world. It straddles the Nile River, is majestic and magnificent, covers an area of ​​3085 square kilometers, and has a permanent population approaching million. It is a veritable political, economic, cultural, commercial and transportation center for many regions.

Even though Cairo also has a large number of ugly and chaotic slum areas, its core part is always prosperous. It is an absolute shining pearl standing in the Nile Delta. Even the night cannot obscure its brilliance, but makes it even more dazzling.

At his side, Ah Fu also turned around and followed his master's line of sight. The brilliant neon light was reflected in his lake-blue pupils, but there was not a trace of joy or admiration, only a condescending indifference.

Queen Nitia can completely control a huge kingdom quietly in the magic world, and now Afu, who has inherited her special puppetry ability, can easily control an entire prosperous city in about half a month.

Ah Fu’s frontal combat capability is not that strong, but in other auxiliary aspects, he is definitely at the top level.

Puppetization will not affect the target's memory and intelligence, but will capture the target from body to soul in all aspects. The puppetized puppet will hardly reveal any abnormalities, but will be extremely loyal to his master.

Under this kind of dimensionality reduction attack, these armies and regimes composed of ordinary people have no room for resistance.

"Master, in this city, nothing can go against your will."

Glancing at the elegant figure with a slightly bent upper body behind him on the right, Xu Yue's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction. Ah Fu's ability could create an extremely loyal and fearless army for him in a short period of time.

If combined with the enhancement of [God-killing Command] and the super mobility of the magic mirror portal, even without the help of mutant forces, he is fully confident that he can plow the entire San Francisco from beginning to end.

But this is meaningless. If he wants to complete the main mission of mutant race independence, it is not a problem that can be solved by force alone. Moreover, his strength is far from strong enough to fight against the entire human civilization. He needs strength and advantages in more aspects.

"It's not enough to just control the army, Ahfu. I, or rather, Kiyu Island, need more foundations in terms of people's livelihood, economy, light and heavy industries..."

"If we want to build Kiyo Island into an independent territory that can support the entire mutant civilization, the Brotherhood alone cannot support the healthy operation of a civilized country. The necessary survival supplies and industrial chain alone are enough to drag them down."

"So before awakening Apocalypse, Ahfu, I need you to extract comprehensive and sufficient nutrients from this city of Cairo in advance and store them. You will use them to help Kiyo Island at the critical moment. You have about ten days to prepare. Can you do it?"

Hearing this, Ah Fu did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, constantly calculating in his mind how much materials and what industries would be needed in the early stages to support the independence of a civilization. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, then smiled and nodded in response:

"No problem, sir, I will do it all."

"Ah."

"By the way, is Psylocke's puppet transformation complete?"

"Of course!"

As Xu Yue spoke, the shadow in front of him began to wriggle slightly, and then a tall purple-clad ninja walked out slowly from the darkness. Different from the strange Shamatte look she had a few days ago, now she had removed all her heavy makeup, and instead revealed a heroic and cold beauty.

Walking closer, without any hesitation, Psylocke decisively lowered her head, knelt on one knee, and looked at the Youlin boots in front of her with fanatical eyes.

"Lingdie, meet the master!" Xu Yue raised his eyes slightly as he looked at the purple figure kneeling in front of him.

"Yes, in addition to her, quickly select 10,000 soldiers with excellent physique and willpower from the Cairo army. I will need them next."

"As you command, Master!"

...............

Three days later, X Academy, brain wave amplification room.

"She can condense her spiritual energy into a sharp weapon. She has great potential. Yes, her ability can really speed up the separation of the Dark Phoenix's consciousness!"

"The mind chains can only seal the soul, but the sharp blade of telekinesis she condensed can easily cut through the soul consciousness. It's really suitable..."

Still in that familiar spherical space, the professor in the wheelchair was carefully looking at the purple lightsaber extending from Psylocke's hand, his words full of undisguised excitement.

In another timeline, Psylocke is one of the Four Horsemen recognized by Apocalypse. Her talent and potential are unquestionable. Her telekinesis can be said to be the prototype of the materialization of the soul. The weapon that transforms invisible mental power into a physical entity is far more terrifying than imagined.

In a sense, the telekinetic blade she casually condensed was on the same level as the mental barrier that the professor had spent a lot of effort to construct.

This is also the reason why the professor was so excited after seeing Psylocke's ability. Jean and Dark Phoenix's consciousness are too deeply attached. Even if he wants to separate them completely, he can only rely on slow grinding to slowly tear apart the consciousness of both parties.

But Psylocke's telekinetic blade is different. As long as she finds the connection point between the two consciousnesses, she can easily separate them.

On the other side, when the professor was looking at Psylocke's weapon excitedly, Xu Yue was also quietly watching Qin who was still unconscious on the hospital bed.

Compared to a few days ago, there is no change in her facial expression, except that the fluctuations in her emotions have become much calmer, no longer as violent and fierce as when they first met.

His eyes swept over Qin one by one, and after a moment, he squinted his eyes and glanced sideways at the professor beside him.

"Professor, simply separating and then resealing the Dark Phoenix will not solve the problem. It will just be a return to square one. We need a more thorough method."

The indifferent voice slowly echoed in the room. The professor paused when he heard it, and the excitement on his face quickly subsided. He stared into Xu Yue's eyes with a solemn expression.

"Promise me not to try to control the Phoenix Force, Xinhuo. I almost lost two students because of it."

"…Don't worry, Professor. You just need to send me and Psylocke to Jean's spiritual space. I just want to talk to her."

After a few moments of silence, the professor's dull response was heard in the space.

"it is good!"

After that, the professor didn't say anything more, but directly put on the amplifying helmet beside him. With the vast spiritual power, he began to stir up waves in this space. Xu Yue only felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then he lost his perception.

When he regained consciousness, the first thing that caught his eye was a giant two-headed phoenix tied up tightly with countless chains.

One was gentle, the other was crazy, two completely different voices suddenly rang in his ears.

"I heard the professor mention you, Xinhuo, thank you!"

"Ant!! You stole my power!!"
