Chapter 412 Needs More

  In a remote slum area in Cairo, a wide and deep pit is gradually taking shape and widening under the continuous excavation of several machines and a large number of soldiers.

  At the edge of the pit, Xu Yue and Ah Fu are quietly overlooking the progress of the entire pit project. In order to revive the mutant god thousands of years ago, sunlight is the key energy source to reawaken his vitality, so before implementing the plan, he first needs to dig a connecting channel directly to the underground space.

  "How long will it take?"

  Facing Xu Yue's inquiry, Ah Fu, who was a little behind, did not hesitate and replied without thinking:

  "It will be completely dug in two days at most. When the time comes, as long as the curtain covering the golden roof is lifted, the Apocalypse sleeping underground can be awakened at any time."

  "Well, no hurry, we still have plenty of time. How is Cairo under control?"

  After nodding lightly, Xu Yue no longer paid attention to the construction site in front of him. He turned around and looked back. Even though it was night, the densely packed high-rise buildings and unacceptable colorful neon lights filled the entire night.

  This is Cairo, the capital of Egypt and the largest city in Africa and the Arab world. It spans the Nile River, is majestic and magnificent, covers an area of ​​3,085 square kilometers, and has a permanent population close to 10 million. It is a genuine political, economic, cultural, commercial and transportation center in many regions.

  Even though there are a lot of ugly and chaotic slum areas in Cairo, its core area is still prosperous. It is a shining pearl standing in the Nile Delta. Even the night cannot cover its brilliance, but makes it more dazzling.

  On the side, Ah Fu also turned around and saw the gorgeous neon light reflected in his lake blue pupils, but he could not see any joy or admiration, only a condescending and indifferent look.

  Queen Nitia can quietly and completely control a huge kingdom in the magic world, and now Ah Fu, who has inherited her special puppet ability, can easily control an entire prosperous city in about half a month.

  Ah Fu may not be strong in frontal combat, but in other auxiliary aspects, he is definitely at the top level.

  Puppetization does not affect the target's memory and intelligence, but will capture it from the body to the soul in all aspects. The puppetized puppet will hardly reveal any abnormality, but will be extremely loyal to his master.

  Under this dimensionality reduction attack, these armies and regimes composed of ordinary people have no room to resist.

  "Master, in this city, nothing can go against your will."

  Glancing at the elegant figure with a slightly bent upper body behind him, Xu Yue's eyes flashed with satisfaction. Ah Fu's ability can create an extremely loyal and fearless army for him in a short period of time.

  If it is combined with the enhancement of [God Killing Command] and the super mobility of the magic mirror portal, even without the help of mutant forces, he is fully confident that he can plow the entire San Francisco from beginning to end.

  But this is meaningless. If he wants to complete the main task of mutant race independence, this is not a problem that can be solved by force alone, and his strength is far from being strong enough to fight against the entire human civilization. He needs more power and advantages.

  "It's not enough to just control the army, Afu. I, or the island of Kiu, need more foundations, including people's livelihood, economy, light and heavy industries..."

  "If you want to build Kiu Island into an independent territory that can support the entire mutant civilization, the Brotherhood alone is far from enough to support the healthy operation of a civilized country. The necessary survival supplies and industrial chains alone are enough to drag them down."

  "So before awakening Apocalypse, Afu, I need you to extract comprehensive and sufficient nutrients from this city of Cairo in advance and store them, and use them to provide assistance to Kiu Island at critical moments. You have about ten days to prepare. Can you do it?"

  Upon hearing this, Afu did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, constantly calculating in his mind how much supplies and what industries were needed to support the independence of a civilization in the early stage. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, then smiled and nodded in response:

  "No problem, sir, I will do it all."

  "Yeah."

  "By the way, has Psylocke's puppetization been completed?"

  "Of course!"

  As Xu Yue spoke, the shadow in front of him moved faintly, and then a tall purple-clad ninja slowly walked out of the darkness. Unlike the weird killer mascot look a few days ago, she now took off all her heavy makeup, revealing a heroic and cold beauty. When

  she came closer, without any hesitation, Psylocke decisively lowered her head, knelt on one knee, and looked at the Youlin combat boots in front of her with fanatic eyes.

  "Psylocke, meet the master!"   

  His eyes fell on the purple figure kneeling in front of him, and Xu Yue raised his eyes slightly.

  "Yes, in addition to her, select 10,000 soldiers with excellent physique and willpower from the Cairo army as soon as possible. I need them next."

  "Yes, sir!"

  ...

  Three days later, X Academy, brain wave amplification room.

  "She has great potential to condense mental energy into a sharp weapon. Yes, her ability can really speed up the efficiency of separating the Black Phoenix consciousness!"

  "The mental chain can only seal the soul, but the sharp blade of her condensed mind can easily cut the soul consciousness. It's really suitable..."

  Still in the familiar spherical space, the professor in the wheelchair was carefully looking at the purple lightsaber extending from Psylocke's hand, and his words were full of undisguised excitement.

  In another timeline, Psylocke was one of the four knights recognized by Apocalypse. His talent and potential were unquestionable. The other party's telekinesis could be said to be the prototype of the materialization of the soul. Turning the invisible mental power into a physical weapon, the meaning it represents is far more terrifying than imagined.

  In a sense, the telekinetic blade she condensed casually was on the same level as the professor's mental barrier, which he had to spend a lot of effort to build.

  This was also the reason why the professor was so excited after seeing Psylocke's ability. Jean and the Dark Phoenix's consciousness were too deeply connected. Even if he wanted to completely separate them, he could only rely on slow grinding to slowly tear apart the consciousness of both parties.

  But Psylocke's telekinetic blade was different. As long as she found the connection point between the two consciousnesses, she could easily separate them directly.

  On the other side, while the professor was excitedly looking at Psylocke's weapon, Xu Yue was also quietly watching Jean, who was still unconscious on the bed.

  Compared to a few days ago, her face had not changed at all, but the fluctuations in her mind had become much calmer, no longer as violent and fierce as when they first met. His

  eyes swept over Jean one by one, and after a moment, he squinted his eyes and looked at the professor beside him.

  "Professor, simply resealing the Black Phoenix after separation will not solve the problem. It will just go back to square one. We need a more thorough method." The

  indifferent voice slowly echoed in the room. The professor paused when he heard the words. The excitement on his face quickly subsided. He stared at Xu Yue's eyes with a solemn expression.

  "Promise me not to try to control the power of the Phoenix, Xinhuo. Because of it, I almost lost two students."

  "... Don't worry, professor, you just need to send me and Psylocke to Qin's spiritual space. I just want to talk to her."

  After a few breaths of silence, the professor's dull response sounded in the space.

  "Okay!"

  After the words fell, the professor did not say anything more, but directly put on the amplification helmet beside him. With the vast spiritual power, waves began to rise in this space. Xu Yue felt that his eyes went black and he lost his perception.

  When he regained consciousness again, the first thing he saw was a two-headed giant phoenix tied tightly by countless chains.

  One gentle, one crazy, two completely different voices suddenly rang in his ears.

  "I heard the professor mention you, Xinhuo, thank you!"

  "Ant!! You stole my power!!"
