Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 419 Living God

Kiyu Island, the central tower.

When Magneto stood up from the throne, the vast magnetic force instantly expanded with him as the center and completely enveloped the entire tower.

Then, after a few breaths, accompanied by the strange 'cracking' sound of metal tearing, the dome of the room above everyone was lifted up like a metal can, and the surrounding walls were also hollowed out.

In just a moment, the conference room originally located at the top of the tower was directly transformed into a wide and towering platform. Looking around, everything around was in sight.

The people in the conference room were not alarmed by this sudden and drastic change. They just looked at the majestic old man in front of the throne with a little awe, and then followed his gaze towards the sky.

High in the sky, the bright white light was still dazzling, but it was also faintly visible that in the center of the white light there was a semi-transparent round platform suspended in mid-air.

It is obvious that this circular platform is the starting point of the white light in the sky, and on the circular platform, there are three very obvious human figures standing.

"They don't look like Sentinels. Are they mutants? What do they want to do?"

As the largest mutant organization in the world, the Brotherhood has witnessed countless strange mutant abilities. Even if there are not tens of thousands, there are at least thousands.

Therefore, he could not be said to be surprised by the three figures floating in the sky, shining with infinite light like the rising sun. Instead, his emotions were more of alertness and astonishment.

Quicksilver was not the only one who murmured in a low voice after discovering something unusual, the atmosphere in the entire room became filled with doubt and uncertainty. This way of appearance was enough to show that the newcomer was extraordinary.

Listening to Quicksilver's mumbling not far away, Mystique beside him frowned slightly, but quickly reacted. She quickly shifted her gaze from the truncated figure above to the sea outside the island below the tower.

No matter who the other party is, there are only two reasons why he deliberately shines with infinite light in the dark night.

One is to show one's own extraordinaryness, to attract attention and to gain the upper hand.

The second is to simply use light to dispel darkness, thereby alerting everyone on the island to the risks hidden in the darkness.

Sure enough, the moment she saw the details of the surrounding sea, Mystique's pupils suddenly shrank. She saw that above the deep blue sea in the distance, densely packed Sentinel robots were gathering into a tide. Even at a cursory glance, their size was at least several thousand, and there were even more sentinels flying over from the horizon.

This scale of Sentinel tides has far exceeded the previous offensive. With the Sentinels' huge size, which is generally several meters high, if they really rush forward together, it is estimated that the enemy can easily cover most of Kiyu Island.

In other words, if a siege broke out, even if the Brotherhood could still win in the end, its losses would certainly exceed the sum of the previous few days of fighting.

"Without the full support of the federal government, it would be impossible for Trask Industries to accomplish this scale of Sentinel Tide..."

"That group of hypocritical politicians should not be spared. After this battle is over, I will definitely catch them all one by one!!"

A gnashing sound slowly came out of Quicksilver's mouth, and along with it, there was a strange vibrating sound similar to the buzzing of a hummingbird's wings.

Wisps of breeze also emerged from his body surface, quickly wrapping up Quicksilver who was gradually turning into a phantom.

"I'll go down and help first!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the silver-haired figure in the wind group instantly disappeared in the conference room.

Quicksilver's mutant talent gives him extraordinary speed. As long as he wants, everything around him will almost stop in his eyes, even time is no exception.

This also makes his temperament the most erratic and impatient among all the brothers.

Therefore, when he saw the Sentinels around the island begin to land one after another, he was also the first Brotherhood leader to leave.

But the next second, Quicksilver, who had just disappeared, was dragged back by a red breath in an instant.

"Wanda, why are you stopping me?!"

Glancing at Quicksilver who was struggling in the red aura, Scarlet Witch rolled her eyes impatiently and said coldly:

"Something's wrong. Don't approach blindly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Quicksilver's struggling paused, and during this brief moment of delay, the situation on the edge of Kiyu Island gradually underwent some different changes.

As soon as the glow appeared in the sky, the frenzy of sentinels that surrounded Kiyu Island realized their exposure at the first moment. Without any hesitation, countless dazzling red lights lit up in the eyes of all the sentinels, and then the sea beneath their feet instantly surged with huge waves.

As the waves surged, thousands of sentinels launched a charge towards the island. During this time, long-range attacks such as lasers and artillery shells whizzed like a curtain, overwhelming and overwhelming from all directions. For a time, the momentum was terrifying and the arrogance was overwhelming.

However, the next second, a strong wind suddenly blew up outside the island, and countless yellow sands inexplicably appeared on the Kiyu Island, which was supposed to be made entirely of metal.

Suddenly, the wind howled and the yellow sand flew up in the air, forming a sandstorm that spread from the sky to the earth. It rushed towards the outer sea with the island as the center.

But in the blink of an eye, as far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of yellow all around, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Wherever the yellow sand passes, everything that touches it is disappeared and assimilated.

From Quicksilver's trembling perspective, he saw that no matter whether it was the invisible lasers or the visible shells, anything that was eroded by the yellow sand was swallowed up silently. Even the large number of sentinels in the rear, facing the howling vast sandstorm, could not escape the tragic end of being completely eroded.

There is no doubt that the Sentinels are powerful. Their huge and sturdy bodies, varied and fierce fighting styles, and the cold will to die together at any time, plus the support of various thermal weapons, the combat power of each Sentinel can completely crush a fully armed elite team, not to mention that there are thousands of Sentinels present.

Not to mention capturing a small island, even destroying a modern country would be more than enough for the Sentinels.

But the first prerequisite is that their opponents must be actual targets that can be killed or destroyed. Whether it is flesh and blood, steel, or mountains and cities, this group of thousands of Sentinels are sure to burn them all to ashes.

Facing this overwhelming invisible natural disaster, all the sentinels' means of resistance or defense were useless. The sharp swords could not cut through the whistling wind, and the laser shells could not destroy the raging yellow sand.

So they could only watch helplessly as their bodies, which were much tougher than metal, were eroded by the wind and sand at a very fast speed while struggling. Even escape was just a luxury.

The raging sandstorm covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles, causing the sky and the earth to change color. Even though he was far away, Quicksilver could clearly feel the horror of the sandstorm. If Wanda had not stopped him in time, once he had rashly fallen into the range of the sandstorm, his fate would probably not be much better than those Sentinels who were being rapidly wiped out.

"Can mutants really do this?"

An almost groan-like sigh came out of the throat of a high-ranking brotherhood member. A simple natural sandstorm is far from being so terrifying. Every grain of sand in the sandstorm seems to have the peculiar ability to decompose everything. This is how it makes everything disappear into thin air wherever the sandstorm passes.

It was not until several minutes later that the raging sandstorm outside the island slowly subsided, and along with it, the sentinel frenzy that had occupied a large area of ​​sea not long ago also dissipated.

Looking around, the originally deep blue sea had turned into a yellow turbidity. There was nothing else on the sea except the undulating quicksand. Not even a trace of blue could be seen. It was so quiet that it seemed as if the entire sea had turned into a flowing desert. After seeing this earth-shattering scene, the towering platform at the top of the central tower suddenly became silent. It had to be admitted that even if their leader Magneto took action, his magnetic field ability would hardly be able to achieve this level.

"Since they took the initiative to eliminate the sentinels, they should not be our enemy."

It was not until Mystique's voice, which she tried to remain indifferent, resounded throughout the platform that it broke the unspeakable silence. After hearing the words, everyone's eyes flickered, but they all raised their heads and looked up at the translucent dome in the sky that was still emitting infinite light.

Soon after the brilliant light burst forth, a devastating sandstorm descended, and it was almost undisguised who had caused all this.

However, at the moment when everyone raised their eyes, the light shining in the sky and the translucent dome in the sky disappeared simultaneously, and then a purple portal quietly opened in the center of the platform, and three figures stepped out of the opened portal one after another.

"you……"

Standing on the edge of the towering platform, looking at the portal that suddenly opened in front of him, Quicksilver's face changed, and he was about to stop the three figures who were stepping out. But just as he opened his mouth, he was forcibly blocked by a ball of red aura and his subsequent words were blocked.

"Shut up, they are the three mutants in the sky!"

After gently stopping Quicksilver who was still about to struggle, and seeing that he finally calmed down, Scarlet Witch raised her eyes to look at the strange figure who was slowly approaching Magneto, and a hint of worry flashed across her eyes.

The other party's goal was very clear, and he had just displayed terrifying power not long ago. Out of awe of power, no matter what the reason for his coming here was, it was not the turn of their subordinates to speak until Magneto spoke, even for their siblings.

Obviously, except for the relatively reckless Quicksilver, everyone else follows this understanding without any prior agreement.

Then, in the eerie silence, the portal in the center of the platform disappeared as quietly as it appeared. After Ah Fu and Psylocke walked out of the portal, they stopped decisively and stood quietly on both sides.

As for Apocalypse who walked out first, he walked slowly and steadily until he came close to Magneto and stopped. Their eyes met, and he looked at the other with admiration in his eyes, as if he had seen a rare treasure.

After observing closely, Apocalypse realized that he had underestimated the opponent's potential. The power contained in Magneto's body exceeded all his four horsemen in history, and the opponent also possessed the talent to become a god.

On the other side, compared to Apocalypse's appreciation, Magneto frowned.

Although he had learned some information about Apocalypse from Xinhuo, hearing about it was not as good as seeing it firsthand. Judging from the way the other party wiped out all the sentinels in a short moment, he would most likely not be their opponent even on the island of Kiyu which was covered with metal elements.

Now that Xinhuo's intelligence has been preliminarily confirmed to be correct, we will follow his plan and proceed to the next step.

"who are you?"

Sensing a hint of fear in the depths of Magneto's eyes, Apocalypse pulled the corner of his mouth and said lightly:
"Jehovah? God? Ra, the sun god?"

"In countless reincarnations, I have too many names. I was born from death, and I will ignite the fire of destruction that will destroy humanity and put this twisted world back on track..."

"I will uproot all civilizations and plant new seeds. I will fulfill my mission and ignite the fire that will burn the world..."

The bewitching voice kept echoing in the platform. It was obviously just absurd and doomsday talk, but coupled with the terrifying power that Apocalypse had just revealed not long ago, everyone present strangely did not feel that it was wrong. Instead, they all developed an inexplicable trust that what the other party said was true.

Even except for Magneto and Scarlet Witch, everyone else began to show a hint of fanaticism in their eyes.

"what?!"

Suddenly, a light exclamation came out of Apocalypse's mouth, and he turned his head abruptly to look at the Scarlet Witch who was surrounded by a red aura behind him, his eyes slightly raised.

"Very good, another knight."

Behind him, Magneto looked at Apocalypse facing his daughter's back, and a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.

"So…what do you need us to do for you?"

"for me?"

As he spoke, Apocalypse turned around again, then he slowly raised his hand and pointed directly at Magneto's chest in front of him.

"No, this is not for me. I just want you to face your true power, a power that can subvert the world and destroy all existing order."

"We are the end point of evolution, natural rulers, and a more advanced species..."

"They should not be a group of poor creatures who are excluded by humans and oppressed by so-called civilization, and can only live in a small foreign country and survive..."

.........

In the outside world, as the sandstorm and the glow in the sky gradually dissipated, not long after, the sea that had gradually returned to calm was once again stirred up by waves.

As the waves rolled in, the entire Kiyu Island began to tremble violently. Then, accompanied by the creaking sound of metal deforming, this huge metal fortress slowly broke away from the sea and rose directly into the air under the cold moonlight.

And above the island, there was a majestic figure floating in the air, with his hair and beard gradually turning from white to black.

.........

The White House, underground command post.

When something strange happened on Kiyu Island far away overseas, the atmosphere in the command post fell into an unsettling stagnation.

Everyone in the conference room stared blankly at the picture that was playing in a loop on the projection screen. It was the final image of thousands of Sentinels being completely engulfed by the raging yellow sand not long ago.

Beside the projection screen, the young man who was the representative of Trask Industries first raised his hand to interrupt the video on the projection screen, and then glanced at the various senior government officials who controlled the federal military and political affairs in the conference room one by one, speaking passionately.

"Everyone, this is the revelation I mentioned before. The other party possesses power comparable to that of a god..."

"No, to be precise, the other party is a god from history. Now, the god who is ready to destroy the world has arrived. The Brotherhood of Mutants is nothing but a minor problem. It is not worth wasting our energy on it. What we need to face now is a more terrifying enemy."

"A true, living god!!"
