The girl in black clothes and gray hair, holding a black flame sickle in her hand, stared at Tianqi expressionlessly:
"[I want to make a deal with you.]"
"Is this a threat? Or do you really have something to trade to me? Ms. [Death]?" Apocalypse looked at her, and then at the mutant traitor behind her, who called himself "Wade Wilson"
Ugly man.
The ancestor of the mutants could not understand why this mutant who met the harsh conditions to awaken himself, helped him from beginning to end, and even killed four of his companions who assisted him, would finally choose to betray? Especially, the opportunity for betrayal is still there.
After he eliminated his biggest enemy, the "Scorpion King" or "Kang the Conqueror".
Unless he is close to his goal, it is not "let mutants rule the world" from the beginning, but a task assigned by [Death].
After all, even the most ordinary mutants will live three times longer than humans, and their chance of survival when encountering danger will be three times greater. This indirectly leads to three times less [death] to accept all the dead in the world.
Business.
If you think about it carefully, the presence of the common enemy "Kang the Conqueror" at that time probably suppressed the clues of betrayal and prevented him from noticing it.
"[Your life.]" [Death] replied.
"It is indeed a threat," Apocalypse snorted: "I can transfer my consciousness to any mutant. Unless you plan to kill all the mutants in the world, this threat is useless to me."
"[No,]" [Death]'s expression remained unchanged: "[I mean, I will never take your life.]"
"...Eternal life?" Tianqi admitted that he was really moved.
After all, when he transfers consciousness to a new body, there will always be an "adaptation period" of varying lengths depending on the target's strength and resistance. During this period, he has no power to react to the outside world. If he is discovered and
If you seal it, you may not be able to escape for tens of millions of years.
But if the body cannot die...wait a minute, does "not die" refer to natural death or being killed? What if you transfer your consciousness to a new body?
"[Any form of death,]" [Death] said first as if he guessed what he was going to ask: "[Any body in use.]"
"...So, what's the price?" Tianqi thought for a moment, but failed to find any logical trap, so he asked.
"[You cannot increase the number of mutants in any way,]" [Death] replied: "[After all existing mutants die, you will be the only mutant who will live forever.]"
"...Okay." Tianqi originally planned to question whether the other party planned to trick him into using up his strongest transfer ability and then kill him, but when he thought about it carefully, he was a "god". If he planned to do that, there was no need to use "
She was "cheating", especially when she took advantage of the power of "killing" "Kang the Conqueror" just now, and she didn't even need to "raise conditions" at all, she could just "give orders".
"[Then, I will give you the ability to 'mute the genes of those who meet the conditions'," [Death] continued: "[The specific conditions are: 1. There is a person with the identity of the Pharaoh nearby, 2. The Pharaoh shouted 'Shazam'.]"
"Oh? Is this the slogan of 'Kang the Conqueror''s transformation? He has some means of resurrection, and you want to hunt him down?" Apocalypse felt that he understood: "But you are not bringing him together with his Anubis Has the legion been wiped out together?"
"[The ashes without fire will rekindle if they touch firewood,]" [Death] replied with incomprehensible words: "[Those who walk with fire will eventually meet their destined death.]"
"..." Tianqi didn't intend to continue asking, but just raised his hand towards [Death], indicating that she could start.
"[Please, touch the darkness within me.]" [Death] raised his hand and gently placed it on Tianqi's palm.
Apocalypse used his excellent dynamic vision to see that after [Death] made this action, Wade Wilson behind him started jumping around as if his hair had exploded.
Then, before he had time to feel the so-called "inner darkness", his consciousness was interrupted.
Apocalypse doesn't have much of an impression of what happened after that. He only vaguely remembers that Wade Wilson and his friend called "Cable" founded an organization called the "Green Lantern Corps". They used Cable to start a war in 3000 AD. The star map brought back later divided the known universe into 3,600 sectors for respective jurisdiction, and established some inexplicable rules that sounded like nonsense at first glance. It also erased traces of the existence of "Kang the Conqueror" from history.
During this period, Apocalypse, in accordance with the original agreement, performed "genetic mutation" operations on several people close to the pharaoh who had inexplicably shouted "Shazam", and without exception, they all turned into assassins who did not recognize their relatives, and did not care about them. Hesitantly attacked the Pharaoh.
As for those unlucky pharaohs, they will usually be killed directly by this special assassin who is caught off guard. Even if not, after the fact that they are actually weak is exposed, more non-genetic mutant assassins will appear and try to kill the pharaoh. Although The damage is very low, but the most important thing is to persevere, and you will succeed sooner or later.
Finally, after the position of "Pharaoh" has disappeared for thousands of years, the corps leaders have changed several generations, and the Green Lantern Corps, which has begun to take in various containment objects, has classified Apocalypse as "SSR-001", and through various means - — refers to the indictable SSR — trying to arrest him and imprison him in the lowest level of the "tech prison".
It happened that Apocalypse was a little tired of playing around at that time, and after a moment of symbolic resistance, he allowed these so-called "Green Lanterns" to lock him up.
Perhaps because of this, the "High-Tech Prison" does not strictly monitor Apocalypse like dangerous or benign contained objects. As long as he does not try to go to the surface, he is even allowed to sneak between various containment rooms.
If Apocalypse is in a good mood, he will help lock up the objects, but if he is in a bad mood, he will even release some troublesome objects.
Just like these noisy guys brought by [Death].
——Marvel, 2014——
"[The ancestor of mutants...please stay...I'm surprised by your skeleton...I want to make a deal with you...sell you for ten yuan...go see another woman.]"
After not seeing each other for thousands of years, [Death] has not only changed its shape and style, but its curiosity has also become much stronger, but only the aura of death that wraps around the body and is so strong that it cannot be dispelled has not changed.
She even provoked almost every SSR along the way. The really smart guys were all pretending to be dead. Only these few trigger conditions were so simple that fools with almost no intelligence dared to pester her.
"What can you give me, ahem?" Tianqi's vocal cords, which have not been used for a long time, are a bit stuck: "Freedom is not necessary, I can go out at any time, and I have similar plans in the near future."
In the nearly five thousand years of "eternal life", Tianqi has seen too much and has almost nothing he desires. In other words, he now wants to know the answers to some questions, such as life -
"【uh-huh,】"
[Death], dressed as a witch, tilted his head at him:
"[Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly...understand?]"
