In a World with Mutants, the renowned Professor Charles's reputation would naturally be well-known.
And how could the Human Society's high-ranking officials, who were aware of Charles's telepathic abilities, not specifically target this? From the special helmet Sebastian Shaw had the Scientist of Mao Xiong create during World War II to counter the White Queen's mind-reading and block all similar abilities, to the current year 198, where a small psychic shielding device is ubiquitous among high-ranking military and political officials, conglomerate executives, even high-end social elites, and the elite troops protecting these high-ranking individuals.
Even in this era, personal psychic shielding devices were still relatively large, unlike the minuscule shirt-button size they would achieve after the 21st century. However, the existence of these items brought great difficulty to the black-hearted Charles's desire to eliminate Human Society's high-ranking officials and high-end elites.
Even after Charles turned dark, his psychic abilities surged significantly, almost reaching the Level 5 Mutant stage.
But! Telepathy, unless it reaches a certain level and undergoes a qualitative change, no matter how much it's enhanced, only requires a specific shielding device to render Charles's abilities useless... Apocalypse brought so many newly recruited Mutants, and in Charles's eyes, wasn't that just someone handing him a pillow when he was sleepy? He, Charles, couldn't invade the minds of those Human Society's high-ranking officials and elites, but that didn't mean those Human Society's high-ranking officials and elites were immune to the abilities of other Mutants.
For example, Magneto's ability. If Lao Wan used his ability to condense an enormous steel ingot, lift it high into the sky, and then drop this colossal steel ingot, these Human Society's high-ranking officials would be helpless even if they hid in nuclear bunkers.
Even if the steel ingot couldn't smash the nuclear bunkers, it would crush all the connecting passages around your nuclear bunker, destroy all the ventilation pipes, burying your nuclear bunker deep underground, suffocating you to death! It's just... a pity that Lao Wan's ability was sealed by a powerful existence, rendering him a cripple.
The black-hearted Charles glanced expressionlessly at Eric, who was slumped nearby, looking increasingly... aged, then turned away, no longer paying attention.
For... the black-hearted Charles, Eric was no longer the one he loved most in his heart.
The black-hearted Charles, pouring all his power into directly controlling all Mutants, including Apocalypse, inadvertently forgot about the... Base... that was still perfectly intact about ten kilometers away from the ruins of the Mutant School. Coincidentally, Apocalypse, who had the same goal as Charles, also intentionally ignored the nearby... Base... that made him flee directly.
However, unlike the black-hearted Charles who wanted to control all of them, Apocalypse only wanted to control Charles first, and then control the other Mutants.
He couldn't help it. Although Apocalypse's ability could control others, it was far inferior to Charles's super telepathy.
Under the perception of his innate talent, Charles's mind control ability was so tempting and so easily attainable in Apocalypse's eyes!
Anyone with eyes could see that Apocalypse's mouth had already curled into the widest possible grin. If he weren't in the critical moment of invading someone's mind, Apocalypse would have burst into maniacal laughter.
The moment he activated his ability to invade Charles's brain, Apocalypse had even planned how to use Charles's ability to control the entire World and how to build his divine kingdom!
..."Damn fellow!"
"I am the God of Mutants!"
"I am the most supreme existence on this Earth!"
The moment Charles and Apocalypse finally invaded each other's minds, Charles understood Apocalypse's thoughts and intentions. But similarly, Apocalypse also understood how powerful Charles's ability truly was! This was absolutely not something he, Apocalypse, could control without special preparations!
"No!"
"You can't do this!"
"We can unite, we can be the only two Gods on this Earth!"
Apocalypse was scared, Apocalypse regretted it, and Apocalypse was even bewildered.
Who knew Charles's ability would be so strong? If Apocalypse had known Charles's ability was so powerful, he would never have appeared before Charles so rashly.
The most, most, most despairing thing for Apocalypse was that at the same time he invaded Charles's mind, his own innate talent—that powerful ability to strengthen Mutant abilities—simultaneously strengthened the black-hearted Charles's ability once again!
At this moment, Charles actually reached the peak of Level 5 Mutant strength!
He even tore a crack in the bottleneck of Level 5 Mutant peak, evolving to become even more powerful!
..."I!"
"Am the most supreme God in this World!"
The moment Apocalypse's ability strengthened him, the black-hearted Charles instantly took control of Apocalypse.
Even though Charles was distracted controlling all the Mutants, under Apocalypse's enhancement, Charles's ability was not weakened but became even stronger!
It must be said, for... Apocalypse, this truly was a sad story!
"Hail my God!"
"My God's glory shall illuminate the World!"
With a powerful psychic force, Apocalypse's will was crushed, and his entire being instantly quieted down.
And in the next second, Apocalypse, whose will and memories had been reshaped, instantly knelt before Charles with a fanatical expression, worshipping madly.
"I!"
"Am the strongest God!"
"Hahahahahahaha!!!!!"
Seeing this scene, the black-hearted Charles finally couldn't help but burst into maniacal laughter.
