Chapter 134: The Truth Of History
Every ancient organization that has survived through the ages has some historical records, and these records are not lost to time.
Take Wakanda, for instance. Their history clearly documents the rise of human civilization.
The same is true for Kamar-Taj.
While they may not be interested in the progress of mortal civilization, their records focus on significant events within the mystical world.
Moreover, due to the nature of magicians, their documentation tends to be exceptionally clear.
For example, the Sorcerer Supreme can use the Eye of Agamotto to travel through the flow of time and uncover events obscured by history...
Such as the birth of the Inhumans, the origins of Norse Mythology, and Thor's past adventures where he once wore women's clothing for his hammer.
Wait, something odd seems to have slipped in?
Taking advantage of Fatty Wang's absence, Thor discreetly ripped out a page and reduced it to molecular state using Phoenix Force.
He picked up a book marked by the system—this was a historical account recorded by the Sorcerer Supreme through magic...
Turning the pages, an image of Ancient Egypt appeared in Thor's mind.
This was a record from five thousand years ago.
A group of slaves, carrying a man with a golden mask, entered a massive pyramid.
The world's first Mutant—Apocalypse!
Alongside him were his loyal four horsemen.
He had developed a technology allowing him to transfer his essence into other bodies, typically Mutants, to amass their abilities.
Now, he chose a Mutant with regenerative factors...
"You will rule forever, master!"
As the four horsemen chanted an incantation, the ceremony began.
"Boom…"
A deafening roar echoed as massive stones were thrown in, breaking the support, causing the entire pyramid to crumble.
Boulders fell, sealing the entrance.
At the same time, soldiers surrounding the pyramid drew their weapons and charged forward.
"False god, go to hell!"
The first soldier to advance was struck by one of the four horsemen, enveloped in mysterious energy that instantly turned him into a skeleton.
Sneering, the horseman unleashed another burst of energy on a second soldier.
"Ah…"
A scream erupted as the soldier's body began to rot, emitting a tragic wail.
The Mutant's face shifted in concern—his attack had turned the opponent into a skeleton...
Seeing the soldiers closing in, the only woman among the four horsemen raised her hands, conjuring a torrent of flames that swept through the area.
As the flames approached, the mortal soldiers screamed in despair: "Ah—"
The expected death didn't come. Instead, the flames vanished as if in a dream, returning to the braziers scattered around.
"What are you doing?"
Another Mutant, witnessing this, shouted in alarm.
"No, it's not me; my ability is in the brazier!"
She frantically gestured toward the brazier, but it remained unresponsive.
A boulder fell, and the strongest of the horsemen tried to lift it.
However, his expression suddenly changed as the boulder crashed down...
Screams erupted one after another, and the once-feared four horsemen of Apocalypse were now like a tiger with its teeth removed, unable to fight back against the heavily armed soldiers.
The soldiers exchanged glances—was it really this easy?
Determined, they picked up their daggers and charged at Apocalypse lying on the altar.
Simultaneously, the eyes of the person on the altar opened, freezing the bodies of the surrounding soldiers.
The transformation was complete, but Apocalypse's face twisted in horror.
He raised his hand, watching as his hands slowly turned to ash...
"Do not!!!"
According to historical records, the people of ancient Egypt sealed their so-called gods, and they remained silent ever since.
However, the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj used the Eye of Agamotto to reveal the truth of history: a new race with special mutations vanished from the world overnight.
Closing the book, the system's voice echoed in Thor's mind.
"That's Apocalypse, a figure who should not exist in this world."
Thor asked, "Have you found any records about Mutants in all these documents?"
"No," the system replied firmly, "This is the only mention. Without this book, I would have thought Mutants didn't exist."
Thor nodded.
He had conducted his own investigations early on and confirmed that this world was a pure movie universe, with no trace of the individuals from his dreams.
If there were any, they must be hiding extremely well, even from S.H.I.E.L.D. and Kingpin's underground network.
He suddenly thought of something and accessed the system panel.
"Activate Multiverse GPS Navigation!"
"Find Target: Charles Francis Xavier."
"There is no such person!"
"Find Target: Erik Lehnsherr."
"There is no such person!"
Thor pondered for a moment and then continued.
"Find Target: Mutant X gene."
"No mutation found!"
"It seems I was overthinking. Mutants truly don't exist. More precisely, they vanished as soon as they appeared."
Thor shrugged. The thread of thought broke off. It was irrelevant to him anyway.
Suddenly, he recalled the dream he had when he began the Rune Power mission. In that dream, he saw many Mutants that shouldn't belong to this world.
Could there be a connection?
Shaking his head, he told the system in his mind, "I'm going back tomorrow. This place is like a primitive society with no wireless. If there are any books you want to read, make sure to get them tonight."
"Understood!"
