Chapter 284: The Awakening Apocalypse

Looking at the sarcophagus behind Gambit and Storm, Bruce knew that Apocalypse was waiting inside. It was the critical moment for him to comprehend the rule of power.

Judging from the familiar aura inside, he was close to success.

"Mr. Bruce, Apocalypse is inside. We…" Gambit went beside Bruce.

Scott was looking at him too. Both of them were waiting while Bruce just stayed silent.

He was waiting. Though Apocalypse had a bad personality, he had potential in cultivating. He wanted to offer Apocalypse a chance.

But at this moment, Shockwave was impatient. "Apocalypse is inside, what are we waiting for? Let me blow him up right now."

After he said that, Shockwave's chest started lighting up.

"Shockwave, wait, Mr. Bruce hasn't…" Scott took his hand, trying to persuade him out of doing this.

"This is none of his business. He's not even the captain. Get out of the way!" He pushed Scott and aimed his chest at the sarcophagus.

Gambit frowned. He suddenly drew two cards, then flicked towards Shockwave. The cards started spinning and flew toward Shockwave.

Ding!

One card struck the metal plate on Shockwave's belly, cutting it into halves and making it fall on the ground.

The card just cut through the plate, then flew away before doing more harm to his belly.

This showed Gambit's accuracy. The other card just cut slightly through his finger and disappeared. Shockwave's finger started bleeding a lot. His wound didn't clot and scab like it normally should.

"Ah.." Shockwave covered his finger with a painful look.

Only Bruce knew what Gambit did by using his Sense of God combined with Heimdall's eyes.

Combined with God's Telekinesis, he could see a lot more things like a microscope. From a microcosmic perspective, Bruce could see clearly that the edge of the cards in Gambit's hand wasn't as normal as it seemed.

Actually, Bruce could see that all of his cards were irregular in shape.

No matter how the paper was cut, it's edge always held the shape of a sawteeth. Therefore, the card could easily gash the skin on Shockwave's finger when it rotated in high-speed.

Judging from the speed that the skin was cut, even Nokia, known as the hardest and the thickest, could instantly be cut in half.

It was no different from cutting it with a cutting machine, which showed that Gambit's skill of controlling the cards was already strong enough to kill anyone without using his mutant skill.

The wound on Shockwave's finger didn't only look like a normal vertical wound, but an irregular avulsion. The chemical compound that was added when the cards were manufactured was affecting his wound.

Obviously, Gambit's cards were specially made. It might be some poison that could intensify the sense of pain. There were more nerves on a human's hand than the other parts of the human body.

With all these together, not only could the wound not heal but it was also as painful as if the fingers were cut off.

Bruce, who saw these, couldn't help feeling sorry for Gambit's enemies. What an extremely horrible thing that a single card could make it as painful as breaking a finger from a little cut.

"Ahhhhh!" After seeing what Gambit had done, Bruce looked at Shockwave, who fell to the ground covering his finger and howling.

Cyclops went beside Shockwave and checked his finger. After being a level 4 mutant ability, his eyes could see more tiny details from the wound. But he still didn't understand how Shockwave could be in so much pain. After all, Shockwave was not very likely to be pretending.

Gambit gave Shockwave an indifferent look. There was no mercy in his eyes. In his mind, orders from Bruce were above all else.

When Bruce said nothing, no one could question his authority. Shockwave 's rushed action was disobeying Bruce, which was declaring a war against Gambit.

Charles, who was in Xavier School frowned after seeing what was happening. He transfused his spirit into Shockwave's mind. Charles felt his pain and knew what was happening.

Judging from Cyclops and Gambit's reaction, Charles suddenly realized that Bruce might have much greater influence than he could imagine.

At this moment, a dazzling gold light emitted from the sarcophagus. It's cover came off.

"Damn it! Demon, Sabretooth, and Gambit, how dare you betray." Apocalypse's angry voice came from the gap. "You failed my cultivation."

After he finished speaking, the sarcophagus was fully opened. Apocalypse stood up and floated in the air, his face looking pale.

He first glared at Gambit, then glanced at the people in the pyramid. But when he saw Bruce, his face turned pale again.

"It's you… The master of Power of God," Apocalypse said in amazement.

He could feel the aura from Bruce.

He could see that the Power of God like strings were regularly gathering toward Bruce in all directions. He had studied the Power of God so he knew how hard it would be to absorb the power and transfuse it into his own.

"Yes." Bruce nodded, admitting what Apocalypse had found. "I'm the master of the Power of God your so-called."

"Have to admit that I like this power." Apocalypse seemed to reply gently, but suddenly changed his attitude. "But only when I kill you can I own this power!" Apocalypse let out numerous amounts of energy.

Colorful lights were sparking around him. These were the genes that he took from others by force and accumulated in his body. He let them all out at once.

Boom! A deafening sound burst from the pyramid making the thick stone walls start to vibrate. The air around him flowed in rage, and an enormous storm was formed, blowing everyone, except Bruce, into the air.

No one else was qualified enough. Even if it was Jean, Gambit, Cyclops, or Storm. Only Bruce was standing still. He was the only one there that was not affected.

Bruce opened a portal by waving his hand and sent them out of the pyramid using God's Telekinesis.

After that, he walked towards Apocalypse. Apocalypse also walked towards Bruce.

He then got pressed on the ground by Bruce using the Power of Rules.
