The Apocalypse Who Kept Dying and Coming Back

A cold blade tore through the air, shooting straight for Apocalypse!

But Li Qianhuan had deliberately slowed the flying dagger so she could show off and give her opponent enough time to react.

Then Psylocke made her move.

She suddenly stepped forward, and a pink psychic blade appeared in her hand. She swung it down directly at Li Qianhuan’s flying dagger.

Faced with Psylocke’s interception, Li Qianhuan was completely unconcerned. A confident smile curled at the corner of her lips. She lightly moved a finger, and her flying dagger abruptly vanished right before Psylocke’s eyes, causing her slash to hit nothing.

Almost at the exact moment the dagger disappeared…

"Pfft!"

Hearing the sound, everyone immediately turned to look. Only then did they realize in shock that the flying dagger that had vanished into thin air had already pierced Apocalypse’s chest, sinking all the way to the hilt!

Only after the dagger entered his body did Apocalypse finally realize that this seemingly ordinary father and daughter were not to be trifled with. He wanted to use his spatial abilities to retreat and heal, but to his dismay, he found that the spatial mutant ability he had once wielded as easily as his own arm had actually malfunctioned!

Li Qianhuan naturally did not tell him that under the interference of the spatial power within her flying daggers, all spatial abilities would be affected. Seeing that her attack had succeeded, she directly imitated Li Congxin and snapped her fingers. In a tone like a sound effect, she uttered a single word: "Boom!"

The crystal-blue flying dagger exploded silently, blasting Apocalypse’s body apart. Then, as space twisted, he was directly swept into some unknown dimension.

With Apocalypse’s disappearance, the atmosphere suddenly became strange. The Four Horsemen of Funeral Love, led by Magneto, were especially bewildered.

Originally, Apocalypse had gathered them together to carry out something big. Now, before anything had even begun, such a powerful mutant as Apocalypse had simply disappeared. This left their position awkward.

Continue fighting for Apocalypse?

That was ridiculous!

Just leave? They had already caused quite a bit of trouble before this. If they left now, wouldn’t they be waiting to be hunted down by the whole world?

Fortunately, Li Congxin suddenly spoke up at that moment and rescued them from their dilemma. "Apocalypse isn’t dead yet."

As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and grabbed at empty space. A Spatial Vortex immediately appeared where Apocalypse had previously been, dragging the final boss’s battered body back from another space.

Before entering his slumber, Apocalypse had already possessed recovery abilities as monstrously powerful as Wolverine’s. After Li Congxin pulled him back, he recovered completely within mere seconds. Aside from his steel armor being reduced to tatters, there was no sign that he had just suffered injuries severe enough to nearly kill him.

Realizing that he had not only recovered but had also been teleported back, Apocalypse immediately rolled his eyes and prepared to activate his powers to strike first!

His eyes rolled, but his powers still failed to activate. Even his body was completely restrained by some force, leaving him unable to move so much as a finger.

Pointing at Apocalypse, who remained frozen in place like an idiot with his eyes rolled back, Li Congxin patiently explained to his daughter, "Qianhuan, look. If a villain like this escapes, who knows when he might return and cause even greater destruction? So when dealing with evil, you have to eradicate it completely. You can’t give him the chance to rise again. And just now…"

As he spoke, Li Congxin flipped his wrist. A crystal-blue flying dagger, identical to the one Li Qianhuan had used, appeared in his palm.

Everyone understood at once.

He’s planning to kill him again!

Received from Apocalypse…

The Four Horsemen of Funeral Love recruited by Apocalypse were also caught in an agonizing dilemma. Their leader had been killed by the other side before they could stop it, which was one thing. But now the other side was going to drag him back and kill him again. Should they at least try to stop it, if only to show they had made an effort?

However, after witnessing the strength of this father and daughter, they truly did not dare to casually step in and "make an effort."

What if they were killed outright for merely showing their stance and being mistaken for Apocalypse’s die-hard followers? Who would they even argue with then?

Suddenly, they felt their own bodies being restrained by some force as well. Not only could they not activate their abilities, they could not even move a finger.

Thus, the Four Horsemen of Funeral Love collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

At last, they no longer had to worry about whether they should rescue their companion.

Apocalypse, it’s not that we don’t want to save you. It’s just that we really can’t do anything!

"You just attacked Apocalypse with a spatial flying dagger. Although the power of space is sharp, it’s like trying to cut seawater with a knife. It doesn’t address the problem. Look…" As he spoke, Li Congxin willed the dagger to move. It stabbed into Apocalypse again, then silently exploded into a Spatial Vortex that swallowed his entire body.

Received 999 Impression Points from Apocalypse!

"Did you notice just now? When the spatial flying dagger exploded, although it caused extensive damage to Apocalypse’s body, most of his muscle tissue was absorbed into the Spatial Vortex while still intact, flowing into an unknown dimension." As he spoke, the outfit on Li Congxin’s body changed at once. A Vibranium Battle Suit, Boots of the Traveler, and Miraculous Hands, Spring Returns all appeared together.

Then, the green Time Stone on his shoulder lit up. With a casual wave, time at the place where Apocalypse had previously been began to flow backward, summoning the Apocalypse who had just been dragged into another dimension back once more.

Putting on the manner of a kindly father, Li Congxin patiently said to Li Qianhuan, "He was pulled into the other dimension too quickly just now, so you might not have seen it clearly. But don’t worry. This time, we’ll replay it in slow motion…"

Received from…

This time, even Charles, Professor X, began to feel sorry for Apocalypse’s plight.

This guy had it rough!

Li Congxin was a man of his word. Since he had said he would replay it in slow motion, he replayed it in slow motion. Through this replay, Li Qianhuan finally understood where the problem lay.

Only then did Li Congxin decide to let the poor Apocalypse off. "You see, when dealing with an enemy who possesses extremely powerful recovery abilities, you have to reduce him completely to ash, leaving him no possibility of resurrection. Like this!"

As he spoke, he suddenly threw a punch through the air. Using the destructive property derived from the Power Stone within Vengeance Divine Power, he directly broke Apocalypse down into atoms, eradicating him completely.

Apocalypse had died.

Watching Apocalypse blasted into complete scraps, everyone on the X-Men’s side finally let out a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, the hearts of the Four Horsemen of Funeral Love had risen to their throats.

Now that Apocalypse was dead, would the other side settle accounts with them, his accomplices?

However…

Under everyone’s tense gazes, Li Congxin suddenly waved his hand. The world abruptly changed color. The original dazzlingly colorful world became one composed only of red, white, and black, like the depths of an asura hell!

In this suddenly transformed world, they discovered a phantom of Apocalypse appearing where he had previously vanished, staring blankly at the surrounding world.

Seeing this, Li Qianhuan asked in surprise, "Dad, is this Apocalypse still alive?"

"No, he’s already dead." Li Congxin answered calmly, "What you’re seeing is his soul. Normally, you shouldn’t be able to see anything in the world of souls. That’s why I deliberately changed the surrounding environment, so you could see his existence. Remember… knowledge is power. Once you reach your current level, if you want to advance further, you must understand the many laws of the universe. The soul is one of them."

As he spoke, Li Congxin turned his gaze back to Apocalypse and casually spread out his hand. He uttered a single word: "Come."

The moment Li Congxin said "come," the bewildered Apocalypse suddenly regained consciousness. Then he felt an immense force of suction coming from Li Congxin’s palm, as if it intended to swallow him whole.

Apocalypse poured all his strength into resisting it, but could only barely hold his position.

Seeing this, a playful smile curled at the corner of Li Congxin’s lips. He had not expected Apocalypse’s soul to be far stronger than his physical body. But after considering his abilities, he understood.

Li Congxin widened his eyes and suddenly increased the suction from his palm. "Hurry up and come!"

What Li Congxin was using now was an ability he had gained after refining the Soul Stone, allowing him to see and control the souls of the dead.

Of course, this was merely one of the Soul Stone’s many inconspicuous abilities. Still, it was just right for the present situation.

The suction suddenly surged to more than ten times its previous strength. Apocalypse had already been barely resisting, and when he was suddenly faced with suction ten times as terrifying, he could no longer hold on. He transformed directly into a blue orb of light the size of a marble and flew into Li Congxin’s hand.

Li Congxin closed his palm in satisfaction. The soul orb formed from Apocalypse vanished, and the world that had resembled hell once again returned to its former brilliance.

"Mr. Li Congxin." Only after everything had settled did Charles look at Li Congxin in confusion. "You just…"

Li Congxin shook his head and said indifferently, "I simply thought Apocalypse’s abilities were pretty good. It seemed like a waste to let him disappear just like that, so I put him to use."

As he spoke, he had already walked over to Charles. Following the universe’s supreme law that nothing below the neck could be touched, he pointed at Charles’s forehead.

Everyone on the X-Men’s side was instantly shocked.

"Mr. Li Congxin, what are you doing?"

"Nothing." Li Congxin explained casually, "Magneto and the professor were originally mutants of the same level, but after Apocalypse enhanced his abilities, his strength was clearly above the professor’s. I think it would be better to balance them out and upgrade the professor as well. Bear with it. It’ll be over soon…"
