Altered Fate

"Eric, congratulations!"

Charles expressed his joy at seeing Eric's marriage to an ordinary human and the birth of his child as a significant step towards peace. This union symbolized Eric's acceptance of humanity, a positive development in their shared goal of coexistence.

While Eric was outside playing a game with his daughter on the lawn, he suddenly felt a disturbance in Charles's psychic power, as if his thoughts had been invaded.

"Charles?" Eric questioned, sensing the intrusion.

"Eric, did you feel it? The earthquake just now wasn't ordinary; a Mutant force caused it. A powerful, unknown Mutant is at play," Charles communicated through telepathy.

Eric furrowed his brow at the news. He understood the implications – an unknown, powerful Mutant acting recklessly could lead to unforeseen consequences.

"An unknown, powerful Mutant," Charles reiterated.

Eric, committed to securing a bright future for Mutants, found his efforts jeopardized by the sudden appearance of a Mutant causing chaos.

"This man is dangerous. We must find him and have a serious conversation with him!"

Eric and Charles quickly reached a consensus, planning to confront "Apocalypse" and address the potential threats he posed.

However, Alex, sensing the powerful psychic fluctuations, understood that this encounter wouldn't be a simple conversation. Apocalypse, driven by a desire for control, wasn't likely to engage in a peaceful dialogue.

"I remember that in the original book, Eric's daughter met a tragic end. Since I'm here, I must change it," Alex mused, a slight smile forming on his lips. He decided to alter the storyline and ensure the safety of Eric's daughter in the face of impending danger. Alex extended his psychic power.

.....

Nature Affinity? An excellent ability." Alex observed the scene in Poland at the moment.

A villa nestled by the forest.

Behind the house, a dense forest teeming with various animals stretched out. A little girl of about five or six skipped into the forest, a small basket in hand for mushroom picking.

A flock of birds chirped joyfully, fluttering and flying above the little girl's head. A little deer extended its neck to nuzzle the girl, eliciting laughter from her.

A pack of wolves emerged from the woods, behaving like playful dogs, feeding the little girl and wagging their tails.

"Such a powerful ability and such an innocent girl—it would be a shame if anything happened." Alex shook his head and withdrew his psychic power.

....

In the city of Cairo, Storm, still maintaining her non-mainstream look, found herself being pursued by a group of people after getting into trouble on the street.

"Apocalypse," who had just emerged from the ground, witnessed the scene.

"The strong rule the weak; that's the truth. You possess formidable power, so why are you still being pursued by these ants?"

Apocalypse waved his hand, utilizing his ability to embed the people chasing Storm Aurora into the wall.

"Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."

Storm responded to Apocalypse in her native ancient Egyptian language, expressing her lack of understanding.

Despite the language barrier, Storm, recognizing a fellow Mutant, decided to bring Apocalypse back home. Leaving this potentially dangerous Mutant outside could lead to more trouble.

"Who is ruling this world now?"

Accompanying Storm to her house, Apocalypse learned some modern languages along the way and awkwardly inquired about the current state of affairs.

"Ruler? There are many!" Storm shrugged, her tone calm. "Every ten years, there's a change of rulers. Too many to bother remembering their names. Why do you ask?"

"Too many?" Apocalypse frowned, struggling to comprehend the world as it is now.

Shouldn't there be only one supreme ruler? 

In silence, Apocalypse lifted his gaze, scanning Storm's house. His eyes caught the television.

Apocalypse possessed the ability to "soul transfer" or "possess others' bodies." When occupying a Mutant's body, he could wield the abilities inherent to that Mutant.

Stretching out his hand and pointing towards the TV, Apocalypse, following the radio waves emitted by it, unleashed his "spiritual wave" ability, extending its influence throughout the world.
