Battle in Ancient Times

"Blasphemous Beings, all that awaits you is death!"

"Under my master's decree, all sinners will be burned by the flames until nothing is left."

With Asher's arrival and the impact generated, the top of the pyramid was destroyed, but what really stood out were the three people who were floating on the pyramid, on the ground the devotees just observed the events.

These were the three remaining Knights of the Apocalypse, under the god they believed in.

The furious Knight who created rivers of blood - War.

The Knight who made everything that lives wither - Hunger.

The Knight who brought calamity and disease - Plague.

According to what the people have always seen, the knights, blessed by the power of God, defeated all of Egypt's enemies until there was nothing left but the desert sand.

But...

"Leave, I look only for En Sabah Nur."

Faced with the imposing appearance of the three, Asher only gave them a blank look.

"Meet death, sinner!"

The completely furious War Knight let out a roar and charged forward, his huge and muscular body giving off the feeling of being unstoppable!

As a mutant focused on raw power, after Apocalypse's transformation, his physical strength could destroy everything in his path with just one punch, at least that's how it always was.

Therefore, when he saw that the strange man actually didn't dodge, the War Knight ended up showing a sinister smile, eager to crush the inferior being who dared to challenge his master.

But then...

"Duh!"

He heard the sound of bones breaking, it took a second for War to realize that it wasn't the enemy's bones that broke - "Not that you understand, but I faced Thanos in direct combat and I didn't lose, inferior warriors like you are not more, a challenge for me."

Thanos? Who?

War's thoughts ended here, because in the next moment, Asher, had kicked him straight out of the sky!

"Boom!"

When his body hit the ground, a large tremor spread throughout the area followed by the formation of a large crater.

"War!"

Pestilence and Hunger, witnessing the defeat of their companion, roared furiously, not waiting any longer and launched their attacks with full force!

Two waves of energy were released, one scarlet and the other completely black.

Observing the attacks Asher could see that even though the energetic properties were similar, they were different, the Hunger attack seemed to be aimed at vital force, probably stealing or burning the target's vital energy, while the Plague attack seemed to carry corrosion characteristics, very similar to curses of rot and decay.

Seeing that these two displayed what should be their maximum powers, Asher showed a slightly strange expression.

"I don't think I have a choice...I'll repay your efforts a little."

When the words ended, Asher directly stretched out his hands.

"Boom!"

In his left hand a ball of flames formed and was soon thrown towards the wave of scarlet energy, as soon as they made contact the enemy attack was dispersed, so the beam of fire found no obstacles until it reached its target.

"No!"

As soon as the flames reached their target, there was a flash, and the imposing figure of the knight disappeared completely, not even the ashes remaining.

"Ugh!"

The Plague Knight's situation wasn't much better, as under the movement of Asher's direct hand - a colossal wave of psionic energy was directed at the poor Knight, completely destroying his attack, before launching him directly into the ground, burying him further. deeper than Knight of War.

The believers below who watched the scene were completely in chaos for a while.

"No, the knights... Were defeated..."

They could not understand how three Knights of the Apocalypse, who were invincible in their eyes, were eliminated so easily by the strange man in the skies.

"He is God, this person must also be God, he is a new God!"

"The new God has come to kill the old God!"

[Congratulations to the host for defeating one of the "Four Knights of the Apocalypse - War", earning 500 system points and obtaining the special material "Evolutionary Gene"].

[Congratulations to the host for defeating one of the ''Four Knights of the Apocalypse - Plague'',...]

[Congratulations to the host for defeating a dis ''Four Knights of the Apocalypse - Hunger''...]

Asher, he wasn't surprised by the system's notifications - these three had a similar power level to the Death Knight, perhaps a little lower overall, so the difficulty of defeating them even if it was three against one was minimal, considering how much Asher's power was enhanced under the symbiotic bond with Deoxys.

"Huh..."

However, it was at this time that a hoarse laugh came from the depths of the pyramid.

The surrounding air seemed to burn, and a powerful pressure took over the environment.

A man with blue-gray skin, completely covered in dark armor, slowly flew out from inside the pyramid, it was Apocalypse in all his glory, his originally old and wrinkled face became young, full of vitality.

"My loyal servants... You did a great job."

Looking at the enemy ahead and realizing that the three remaining knights had lost their lives, Apocalypse wasted a few words, but there was no sadness, just cold realization of something that was obvious to him - "Your sacrifice was worth it, because... . I am Eternal."

As his words spread, the believers below knelt down and began to cry out in unison.

"En Sabah Nur!"

"En Sabah Nur!"

"En Sabah Nur!"

They chanted the name of the Apocalypse and prostrated themselves constantly.

The body chosen for the ritual ended up belonging to a mutant with an extremely powerful ''Healing factor'', similar to an old acquaintance from modern times.

Possessing a seemingly immortal body caused Apocalypse to reach the height of his arrogance!

"As for you, the unknown stranger, kneel before the Eternal God - Apocalypse... And I promise your death will be quick."

But when Apocalypse was about to continue his speech, he was truly surprised.

Because in the blink of an eye, the figure of the stranger completely disappeared from both his vision and his telepathic field.

"Megalomaniacal Speech Syndrome, huh?"

A voice sounded right in the Apocalypse's ears.

"Don't worry, I'll help you with the cure!"

In the next moment, the face on the blue mutant was hit directly, sending him falling from the skies to the ground.

"Boom!"

The body flew downwards like a cannonball, Apocalypse directly pierced his own pyramid, and then fell into the desert unleashing a huge tide of sand.

"..."

The people below were stunned for a while, after seeing that the God they believed in was struck down without resistance by the stranger's fist.

"Damn you! "

Since his awakening, En Sabah Nur had never been in this position, he had never met an opponent capable of striking him in this way, Apocalypse found himself unable to bear such an insult.

With a roar, his hands shot up releasing a powerful energy fluctuation.

The endless desert sand beneath his feet began to rise, slowly forming a ghostly face in the sky above his head. As soon as it was completely formed, the sand and energy construct rushed uncontrollably towards Asher!

In front of the giant mass of sand, Asher just stood in the air, his expression was a little serious, Apocalypse was completely different from his Knights.

Although definitely inferior to Thanos, Asher knew that Apocalypse, as the first mutant, gathered many powerful abilities over the centuries he reigned, it can be said that in terms of diversity of abilities, very few beings would be able to compare with this Egyptian Smurf Super powerful.

On Earth, he can actually be considered as one of the most powerful when it comes to combat power.

Pushing aside these thoughts, Asher focused once again on the battlefield.

"If you want to play hard... That's fine with me!"

Asher smiled gently, and then lightly waved his right hand.

"Rayquaza, I choose you!"
