Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 428: Strangulation and the End of the World

Cairo, above the ruins.

I saw two tides of completely different colors, yellow and black, interweaving and fighting in the void. There were no huge air waves and no deafening roars. All I could see was the ultimate annihilation in silence.

It was clearly a black rainstorm made entirely of hard metal, but when it touched the extremely loose yellow sandstorm below, the properties of the two seemed to be strangely reversed.

Therefore, when endless large pieces of metal smashed into the rising and flooding sandstorm one after another, the result was not the expected easy penetration like a hot knife through butter. Instead, they were broken down into fine sand and gravel in the process of passing through and quickly disappeared.

With the blessing of Apocalypse's special ability that can decompose all matter, the sandstorm at this time is like a bottomless and sticky quagmire. All the metals that fall into it often have no time to penetrate the quagmire, and are assimilated by the grinding of countless sand and gravel.

Looking down from the sky, one could see the continuous heavy rain falling, but it could only create ripples on the surface of the flooded sand sea, and then the ripples subsided and there was no more movement.

These downpours created by Magneto may tear the earth apart and shatter the hills, but they seem particularly powerless in the face of this invisible natural disaster.

Soon, as time went on, the metal rain falling from the sky inevitably began to become sparse, but the sandstorm rising straight up was not affected at all. Instead, its scale became even larger, covering an area of ​​thousands of meters, and seemed almost endless.

In the center of the sandstorm, the head of Apocalypse made up of countless yellow sands looked even more hideous as the scale of the sandstorm expanded. A pair of scarlet eyes in its huge eye sockets were like two red suns, staring at Xu Yue and others who were looking down from above.

…………

"Physical attacks are completely ineffective. Should we retreat first?"

High in the sky, Magneto's face became increasingly gloomy as he looked at the rapidly approaching waves of yellow sand below him. Although he had been mentally prepared, when he really faced Apocalypse, he still inevitably felt powerless, and even some uncontrollable fear kept growing in his heart.

No one knew better than him what kind of horror was hidden behind this sandstorm. Once covered by the yellow sand, all of them would have their flesh and blood quickly worn away by the endless sand in the most cruel way, and in the end only a pile of white and hideous skeletons would be left.

Such scenes were no strangers to him on the battlefield in Cairo not long ago, but when this scene might happen to him, he still couldn't calm down for a long time.

On the other side, compared to Magneto's tightly furrowed brows, Xu Yue beside him always had a calm expression.

Ever since he sent Afu to Cairo, he had already been making detailed plans against Apocalypse. Now that his true colors were revealed, his response certainly could not be limited to this.

"Retreat? No need. He can't get close to us."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Magneto could speak again, he heard a high-pitched phoenix cry behind him, piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks, resounding through the sky.

"Wow!!!"

…………

"Closer, closer..."

In the sky, as the sandstorm rose higher and higher, the yellow sand head in the center of the sandstorm that carried the consciousness of apocalypse became more and more excited. As its huge mouth opened and closed, waves of hoarse murmurs echoed everywhere.

He never cared about the large chunks of metal that continued to fall from above. Conventional physical attacks were nothing more than food for the yellow sand that could swallow everything.

Compared with these meaningless resistances, Apocalypse now only wants to eliminate all the traitors who have betrayed him as quickly as possible, and select a suitable body from them to seize.

After all, having lost his original physical body, every second of maintaining his existence now comes at a heavy price for him.

Living in the yellow sand was just a temporary measure out of necessity. At this moment, the intense pain that kept coming from deep within his spiritual body had made his mind, which was already on the verge of being out of control, become even more violent.

The pair of bloodshot eyes in his eye sockets became more and more fiery, and after roaring again, the sand sea surrounding him, at the speed of Apocalypse's reckless drive, rose again greatly.

As long as he could get close enough, he could kill everything in front of him with just one strike, leaving them annihilated amidst their miserable wails.

So in just a few breaths, the distance between them was shortened to less than a hundred meters. Looking carefully, Tianqi could even clearly see the specific expressions of Xu Yue and others in the sky. Among them, Magneto looked nervous and frowned, another person had a calm face and cold eyes, and the last person had a contemptuous look, and his disdain was almost obvious when he lowered his eyes and looked down.

"Disdain?!"

"How dare these ants defy God!!"

When their eyes met, the yellow sand head in the sea of ​​sand was stunned for a moment, and then the raging anger completely burned away the last bit of sanity left in Apocalypse.

"Roar!!"

The rolling air waves caused by the violent roar instantly pushed away the thick cloud curtain in the sky, and the golden sunlight poured down through the huge round hole in the cloud curtain, instantly coating the three tiny figures floating in the air below and a giant head leaping out of the sand sea with a touch of dazzling golden light. From a distance, it looked as vast and mysterious as a mythological epic.

Just as the giant head with its teeth wide open was about to swallow up the three figures, a loud and clear phoenix cry suddenly rang out.

Then a vast fire phoenix passed between Xu Yue and Magneto, and spread its wings majestically in front of the rapidly approaching Apocalypse.

The next moment, exaggerated wings hundreds of meters long suddenly spread out high in the sky. With just a simple flap, the howling hurricane it caused blew away all the overwhelming sand sea below.

For a moment, yellow sand rolled, the wind howled, and the dim yellow color covered the entire sky in a short time.

After a moment, all the yellow sand in the sky had disappeared, but the giant head carrying the spirit of Apocalypse was now tightly entangled in the void by countless red chains.

The countless chains densely wrapped around its body were like red-hot irons. With the sound of the chains contracting, the giant head gradually began to disappear uncontrollably.

Under the stranglehold of the chains, the yellow sand instantly turned into large pieces of powder and drifted away with the wind. Soon the entire head was completely crushed by the chains, and all that was left was the tall, translucent figure.

"How is it possible that... this kind of power exists in this world..."

A hoarse voice slowly uttered from the figure's mouth, and Apocalypse raised his eyelids with difficulty. At this time, the scarlet in his eyes had long disappeared, and the tyranny of the past was gone. Only a touch of horror and imperceptible fear lingered between his brows for a long time.

His eyes moved upwards, and first rested on Huo Feng's flaming phoenix eyes which were still lowered with disdain. After their eyes met for a moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Yue who was drawing the bow and arrow on the other side, and a hint of enlightenment gradually surged in his eyes.

"So... you are the one who planned all this..."

"call out!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sharp sound of an arrow breaking through the air. Then, a golden-red arrow that quickly enlarged in his field of vision became the last memory in Tianqi's mind.

Xu Yue had no intention of wasting time talking to his enemy who was about to die. Executing him in the quickest way possible was one of his few acts of mercy.

The next second, the sound of breaking through the air was replaced by a shocking roar. The arrow accurately shot into the center of Apocalypse's eyebrows and exploded with a bang. The exploding golden-red flames completely engulfed the target's entire spiritual body in just a moment.

When the flames died down, the last trace left by Apocalypse was the reminder sound of paradise that kept ringing in Xu Yue's ears.
