"The second step in starting to plan."
George entered the supersonic fighter, not attacking anyone, but looked at Professor X, his physical appearance changed quickly, from Magneto's look into the look of Professor X.
This scene also startled Morla and Nightcrawler, who nearly thought George had transformed into Mystique.
With a wave of his hand, George released the real Magneto from the small world:
"Eric, you've got the general idea. Don't blow it later."
"You saved the lives of my wife and daughter, and I'll definitely take care of this small matter for you."
Eric nodded, and George's hand waved again, turning his clothes into the armor of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse.
He grabbed George, who had transformed into Professor X, looked at his old friend Professor X for a moment, flew out of the supersonic fighter and placed George next to Apocalypse, and then continued to join the battle.
At this moment, the rest of the Morlocks also received a message from Professor X, made frequent mistakes, and were quickly caught and confined in a metal cage by Magneto.
"The one who can teleport has run away, and the rest have been caught."
Magneto reported to Apocalypse that the Pyramid of Rebirth had finally been completed.
Apocalypse nodded without a care, merely ordering:
"Stay well guarded around the Pyramid, my rebirth ritual cannot be disrupted."
Now he valued most was the completion of the rebirth ritual and the acquisition of Professor X's mutant powers.
With that, he would be able to control the thoughts of everyone on Earth, and no matter how far the teleporting mutant ran, he could make them come back on their own.
He opened a spatial gate, and Apocalypse lifted the sand to carry George directly to the center of the transfiguration platform in the pyramid.
He fixed George to a spot on the transfiguration platform, laid himself on another, and activated the switch above, beginning to absorb solar energy for transformation.
As the transfiguration pyramid fully activated, the transfiguration platform where Apocalypse lay extended a series of golden fine lines, slowly spreading to the platform where George was.
Apocalypse's mental and soul power began to enter George's body along with the golden threads.
"After all this trouble, it's finally payoff."
Feeling the invasion of Apocalypse's soul into his own body, George finally broke into a radiant smile.
Having Apocalypse initiate the rebirth ritual to enter his body willingly was the most difficult step in his plan.
Because if Apocalypse found anything abnormal and refused to be reborn again, he would be powerless even if he killed Apocalypse.
Once Apocalypse's rebirth ritual is initiated, the rest will be relatively straightforward.
"All souls return to their places!"
At this moment, George directly opened the mental connection between himself and all his avatars, and the souls of the eight avatars' worlds returned to the original body simultaneously, causing his mental power to greatly increase.
If he were to simply talk about spiritual power, he felt that he might have already broken through to the level of the Father of Heaven, entering into the level of a single universe.
If he were to destroy the soul of Apocalypse that had invaded his body now, it would be as easy as a thought, without much effort.
But he did not do that because the rebirth ritual had not been completed, and he had not yet gained Apocalypse's abilities.
So, in his own spiritual world, he created a smaller spiritual world that was similar in intensity to Professor X's spiritual world.
He used this smaller spiritual world to withstand Apocalypse's attack, making it seem like Apocalypse was continuously breaking through X Professor's defense and occupying X Professor's body.
This way, Apocalypse would not terminate the rebirth ritual.
"Hahaha, give up! You can't defeat me. All this resistance will only make you more suffer. You should be proud to be absorbed by me!"
Within George's disguised spiritual world, there was a spirit body of Apocalypse over ten meters tall, stepping on the X Professor spirit body that George had created.
Continuously tearing his body apart, swallowing those spiritual force into his stomach, and expanding his soul.
Once he has completely swallowed the entire spirit body, he will occupy this body, and it has always been like this—only then will he become stronger each time.
"Achieved, this body belongs to me!"
Swallowing the last piece of spiritual body, Apocalypse felt that his rebirth ritual had also been completely completed.
However, as he was about to break through the spiritual world and completely receive the body to wake up, he discovered that after breaking through the small world, he had arrived in an even larger spiritual world.
"What's wrong with this!"
Compared with the just spiritual world, the current spiritual world is almost endless, which he had never encountered before, nor had he ever seen such a large spiritual world.
"What is that?"
At this moment, he suddenly felt a huge shadow enveloping him. Looking up, he discovered that without him realizing it, a towering giant appeared behind him.
How large is the giant?
He looks to be no larger than the giant's little finger.
"There is no way such a powerful spirit body exists in this world, that's impossible!"
Just now when he fought with Professor X, the gap between their spirits was that of an adult and a child, but now it was that of an adult and an ant.
How could he believe that?
"You don't have to believe, because you can die."
George lifted his foot and directly stomped the spirit body of Apocalypse, who was on the ground. Then he opened his mouth and sucked in all the shards of Apocalypse's spirit after the explosion into his stomach.
With the ability to bind spirits, use double-handed techniques, seal souls, absorb souls, and many other magical methods, he had too many ways to deal with spirits.
Even if it were the same spirit body, Apocalypse would not be able to match him, much less when the gap was so huge.
After swallowing Apocalypse's spirit body, George could clearly feel his physical body changing. The X-gene inside his body was rapidly increasing and becoming stronger.
He also instinctively learned a variety of chaotic abilities.
This included the ability that Apocalypse used to strengthen the mutant gene.
"Done!"
Sitting up from the transfiguration platform, George returned the souls' power of all his avatars, turned his head to look beside him, where Apocalypse's body had already turned into a patch of black and gray dust and was gradually dissipating.
And his body did not change into the ugly blue-skinned, bald head appearance that usually occurred during the rebirth ceremony.
His physical body's life level far exceeded that of Apocalypse. How could he transform into Apocalypse's appearance due to Apocalypse's assimilation?
So, this time, he not only absorbed all of Apocalypse's abilities and soul power but also maintained the physical changes, making it a perfect transformation.
Rising up and flying outside the pyramid, he saw that Storm, Angel, and Flutterby had all been subdued.
It was quite normal that Magneto and Quicksilver, even one of them, could easily subdue these three Horsemen of Apocalypse.
To be honest, among the four knights that Apocalypse sought, apart from Magneto, the others were not very impressive.
"It's over, Apocalypse is dead!"
Seeing everyone, including Professor X, Magneto and so on, all looking at him, George smiled and announced the victory.
Hearing this, everyone also heaved a collective sigh of relief.
