Annihilation

Meanwhile

"I am back!"

"Your god, your faith, your master has returned!"

"After losing my guidance, you have lost your direction for thousands of years, and you have abandoned your faith."

"Rotten! Fallen! Dirty! This world is filthy!"

"I'm back! I will purify this filthy world, and I will redeem your fallen souls! I will open a new chapter for this world!"

"I am the deity of salvation and the Apocalypse of purification!"

"Accept my trial! This is the end and the dawn!"

The powerful voice reverberated across the globe echoing in the minds of every individual.

"What's happening here?"

"How?"

World leaders, still reeling from the shock of the "nuclear bomb incident," were bewildered by this sudden proclamation.

"Charles? No, this is not Charles. This is Apocalypse!"

In Cairo, Eric and his group, in the midst of their search for Charles, were startled by this unexpected sound.

"Damn it. We need to hurry." Eric exclaimed in anger.

"Apocalypse…" Summers, murmured.

A name that symbolised change. The change many mutants who had been persecuted by humans were waiting for; Apocalypse the savior.

"I will build my temple here. I will accept the worship of all living beings. Godsends who transcend mortals, come to my temple! I will lead you to build a new world! A world belonging to the extraordinary!" Apocalypse's voice echoed once more.

Following this proclamation, the earth quaked violently. A sandstorm of immense force swept towards Cairo City, leaving destruction in its wake.

Shattered! Decomposed!

Under the relentless onslaught of the sandstorm, Cairo disintegrated. Tall buildings, traffic, green trees, and solid roads—all succumbed to the transforming force, reduced to nothing but sand and dust.

"Run!"

Confronted by this apocalyptic scene, Eric and others turned pale. The world around them crumbled, and they escaped towards safety as the city succumbed to the overwhelming power of Apocalypse.

Finally out of Cairo's range, Eric stared at the unfolding scene before him, his face drained of color. Just a few steps further, and he might have met his end.

The relentless sandstorm engulfed Cairo, reducing everything to rubble. A once vast and modern city was obliterated in an instant, leaving only an expanse of sand and swirling dust, like an endless tornado.

Within this sand and dust vortex, particles condensed and gathered continuously.

As the dust settled, a colossal and majestic pyramid, stretching across the ruins of Cairo City, stood tall between the sky and the earth.

"Oh, God!"

Leaders worldwide, witnessing this catastrophe through satellite images, were petrified and utterly stupefied.

A city vanished in the blink of an eye, transformed into a pyramid.

With the will of this person, any city on Earth could be wiped out instantly.

This was the end! This was annihilation! This was the apocalyptic finale, the judgment of God!

"Is this the end? Is humanity on the brink of destruction?"

"Do we have a future?"

"God, if you truly exist, please intervene! Please save us!"

Confronted by the overwhelming power of Apocalypse, a force akin to that of a god, people were left with nothing but prayers.

In the blink of an eye, the bustling city vanished, replaced by a vast expanse of towering pyramids that stretched as far as the eye could see.

.....

Alex transported into Cairo amidst this surreal transformation. He hovered in the air overlooking the ruins of a once splendid city. Jean was also with him.

"Is this the might of a fifth-level Mutant?" Jean gazed upon the scene, horror reflected in her eyes.

"He ain't no fifth-level Mutant, just a fourth-level pinnacle. If you unleash your Phoenix force, and you can stand a chance against him," Alex remarked nonchalantly, shaking his head.

"I'll show you what I mean," Alex added, placing a firm hand on Jean's shoulder. Suddenly, they teleported, appearing instantly at Eric's side.

"Alex, you're finally here. Apocalypse... he's beyond our league," Eric admitted, eyeing Alex with a hint of desperation.

The horror of Apocalypse loomed large, with an array of formidable abilities that made him a force to be reckoned with.

Eric's singular power paled in comparison, rendering him practically inconsequential in the face of Apocalypse's might. It was clear that Apocalypse regarded them like his own offspring, sparing them harm, with the exception of Charles.

Despite their goal of eliminating him, Apocalypse showed a strange semblance of mercy, sparing the lives of those who sought his demise.

Otherwise Eric along with all others would have meant their end like all those innocent people of Cairo, who got reduced to mere sand and dust. Apocalypse claimed the life of thousands in a mere instant.
