Chapter 290 The Four Horsemen (1/2)

"...According to "Frontline" reporter Clark Kent, at 3 p.m. local time, New York City Mayor Wilson Fisk declared a state of emergency in New York to better respond to the disaster that occurred on Governors Island. Declaration The declaration of a state of emergency will allow U.S. troops to assist in disaster relief and obtain assistance from the federal police if necessary. Wilson said that New York City has sufficient equipment and personnel to respond to the disaster that occurred on Governors Island. "

"After a historic disaster hit New York, with at least more than a hundred people dead according to statistics, the chaotic situation on Governors Island paralyzed emergency rescue efforts. As of 8 o'clock that night, this unidentified biological disaster had spread throughout New York. At least 126 people were killed. Officials reported 12 more deaths on Tuesday and confirmed six more the next morning, bringing the death toll to 147 overnight. At least four people died due to medical emergencies. Chaos throughout New York City, out of reach of emergency responders."

"As of yesterday, we have announced a total of 12 deaths. We can confirm an additional six deaths, for a total of 18."

"There may be more to come," the chief executive revealed on Sunday morning.

"He added that overnight on Tuesday alone, a dedicated team conducted more than 200 rescues. The entire New York City Police Department was overloaded, and there were reports of injuries and deaths everywhere."

"On the other hand, reporter Clark Kent conducted an in-depth investigation and found that at the moment of the disaster, two nuclear bombs were secretly launched in Germany in an attempt to bomb Governors Island. White House officials claimed that they had no knowledge of this. I don’t know the situation in Germany either. Everything needs to be explained after confirmation.”

"Faced with the White House's sophistry, "Frontline" reporter Clark Kent believed that this was a common evasion method used by the federal government. He had sufficient evidence to prove that Germany did launch more than one nuclear bomb against the United States at that time. If any nuclear bomb was An explosion in New York City would be a catastrophe, and both the president and the U.S. military have an obligation to explain it."

"Frontline" reporter Clark Kent's accusation that Germany launched a nuclear bomb quickly caused an uproar in the United States.

Major newspapers rushed to reprint Colin's report, and the citizens of New York, the center of public opinion, immediately went to the German Embassy to express their protest.

Later, the president denied this fact via the Internet, stating that he would never allow nuclear bombs to appear in the United States.

At the same time, Germany also issued a statement that the number of nuclear bombs they hold has not decreased.

At the White House press conference, the spokesperson denied the "Frontline" report for the second time and refuted it as fake news. Journalist Clark Kent should be ashamed of himself for reporting fake news like this.

Immediately afterwards, in the evening, 38 people sued the famous Hollywood screenwriter and director in the New York Supreme Court, accusing him of being a "serial sexual predator."

Colin's topic of nuclear bombs was gradually obscured by the overwhelming Hollywood scandal reports.

…

boom!

Wave the Infinity Gauntlet in your hand and pierce the chest of War Hulk, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

"Is that all there is to it?"

Thanos asked as he retracted his green blood-stained palm and grabbed Mr. Sinister's neck.

Falling around it were the corpses of countless mutants, including Max Eisenhardt, the Plague Magneto of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and Warren Kenneth Worthington III, the Archangel of Death. After Apocalypse ruled the world, he was chosen to become the Four Horsemen.

And the only one left now is Mr. Sinister, who represents Famine in Thanos' hands.

As an important apostle of Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister's mutant ability is entirely due to Apocalypse's transformation of him.

Through Apocalypse's mutation of his genetic genes, Mr. Sinister has various powerful mutant abilities including telepathy, telekinesis, cell deformation, force fields, flight, and the emission of concussive energy.

However, these abilities that Mr. Sinister is proud of cannot provide the slightest help in the battle at hand.

Mr. Sinister witnessed with his own eyes that Magneto, the plague knight who has the ability to control powerful magnetic fields, moved an entire building and smashed it at Thanos in front of him, but was easily broken apart by the opponent, and was eventually broken into countless pieces. Blocks are combined into buildings.

The Death Knight Archangel didn't even get close to Thanos before he was pierced by the feathers of his wings on his back.

"Apocalypse will avenge us..."

Feeling the increasingly powerful power coming from Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet, the expression on Mr. Sinister's face suddenly became a bit painful.

It's not that he hasn't tried to use his telekinesis or transformation ability to prevent this, but no matter what kind of mutant ability it is, it seems that it can't affect Thanos in front of him.

"I hope he is really what you said."

On the Infinity Gauntlet, the purple gem representing power flashed with a faint light, and the huge power transmitted from Thanos's hand in the next second instantly broke Mr. Sinister's neck.

Throwing Mr. Sinister's body aside, Thanos stared at the ruins strewn with corpses in front of him and replied expressionlessly.

However, just as Thanos finished speaking, the body of Mr. Sinister, which had fallen motionless on the ground, suddenly moved again.

He twisted his ninety-degree bent neck and stood up, straightening it in front of Thanos.

"It seems that you are more difficult to deal with than the other guys."

Looking at the resurrected Mr. Sinister, Thanos' purple face did not change at all.

In the process of collecting the Infinity Stones, it has encountered countless opponents who are similar to or more difficult than Mr. Sinister. Now that it has mastered the almost complete Infinity Gauntlet, it can easily kill the opponent, even if the opponent has the ability of immortality.

"No, that's not right..."

However, the next second, Thanos noticed the strangeness of Mr. Sinister in front of him.

"You are not the guy just now."

As Thanos said, Mr. Sinister's original human appearance changed rapidly, and a figure with gray skin and blue lips appeared in front of him.

"It seems that the four horsemen have failed."

Appearing in the mutant city, Apocalypse looked at the mutants and the bodies of the four horsemen around him and said in a low voice.

"Reality is always frustrating, and that's why I want to create a new world."

Retracting his gaze from the mutants, Apocalypse turned his head to look at Thanos in front of him. The purple-skinned figure almost made Apocalypse mistakenly think that the other party was also a mutant.

"So, it was you who slaughtered my people."

"All sacrifices are necessary."

Without denying his actions, facing Apocalypse's questioning, Thanos still answered calmly.

"I don't think so."

Accompanying Apocalypse's words, the mutant bodies that had fallen around seemed to have regained their lives. They struggled to stand up, and the bloody wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, a large army of mutants appeared in front of Thanos again.

"Interesting ability."

Looking at the mutants who had resurrected from the dead in front of him, Thanos raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face changed rarely.

"But war is not just a simple digital game."

Raising the Infinity Gauntlet in his hand, behind it also appeared a large army of mutants that was exactly the same as Apocalypse's.

The Reality Stone can easily create reality. Thanos used this power to copy the mutant army of Apocalypse.

With the appearance of the copied mutant army, a fierce war soon broke out between the two sides.

The abilities of countless mutants collided with each other, making the already chaotic city even more devastated.

Standing in the center of the war, Thanos looked at Apocalypse in front of him. The red light representing the Reality Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet kept flashing, and countless mutant armies seemed to flash from behind it continuously.

"If I want, I can create an endless army."

As he spoke, Thanos gently moved his arm wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, and then the figure that was originally fighting with the Apocalypse mutant army disappeared instantly.

"In fact, in my opinion, your struggle is meaningless."

He clenched his palm wrapped in the Infinity Gauntlet and made a gesture of smashing the ground. With Thanos's move, an unstoppable and terrible force instantly suppressed all the mutant armies on the battlefield.

Looking at their struggling figures, Thanos said to Apocalypse in front of him: "Now, hand over the fragment of the Time Stone, or I will take it from you personally."

Waving his hand to create a position to block the attack of Thanos' power stone, Apocalypse looked at the Infinity Gauntlet in the other's hand, feeling the powerful force that was almost indescribable in words, and finally there was a slight change on his gray face.

Retracting his gaze from Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet, Apocalypse looked at the mutant army that fell again around him, opened his blue lips and said slowly: "Maybe you think that defeating the mutant army or my four horsemen in front of you can cause harm to me, but in fact, whether it is mutants or four horsemen, they are just appearances. Next, witness my true power..."

As he said, Apocalypse opened his arms, and the broken fragment of the Time Stone embedded in the Infinity Gauntlet by Thanos began to flash a faint light.

Then, a huge portal appeared from behind Apocalypse, and four strange centaurs appeared in it.

The Four Horsemen of the Future are knights that are more powerful than the present ones created by Apocalypse after he got the fragments of the Time Stone and traveled through time to conquer the future.

Unlike the four horsemen transformed from mutants such as Mr. Sinister, the Four Horsemen of the Future are superheroes after mutation.

Even Thanos saw some familiar figures among them, such as the guy representing the Red Knight, who has black hair, red armor, and several energy laser eyes. The shape and structure of the armor clearly show the outline of Iron Man. Obviously, this is a knight transformed from Iron Man.

In addition, there is the Gray Knight Wolverine, who has a long feather crown, black stripes on his upper body, a gray horse with lightning in his mouth, and claw-like weapons extending from his hands; the White Knight Spider-Man, who has eight arms, is covered with fur, and the horse under him seems to be made of spider silk; and finally, the Black Knight Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff, who wears the standard mask of the Scarlet Witch and has a hideous face.

"Tony Stark, I didn't expect to meet you in this form."

Looking at the distorted Iron Man in front of him, Thanos couldn't help but sigh.

Thanos was also impressed by the battle with the Avengers, but he didn't expect that the superhero who had fought with him would become what he is now under the power of Apocalypse.

"Feel the power of the future knights."

Without giving the two sides too much time to reminisce, under the order of Apocalypse, the four knights of the future immediately launched a fierce attack on Thanos in front of them.

The red knight Iron Man's laser eyes emitted shock wave beams, the gray knight Wolverine rushed towards the opponent with claws in a hurry, the horse under the white knight Spider-Man opened his mouth and spit out venom, and the black knight Scarlet Witch Wanda even cast chaos magic to cover Thanos in front of him.

After being transformed into the four knights of the future by Apocalypse, their strength has increased to varying degrees.

Each one is enough to compete with the original four knights of Apocalypse.

However, even such a powerful four knights of the future, the attacks they launched still could not cause any harm to Thanos.

With the power of the power gem, Thanos not only possesses all the physical attacks in the world, but also has an invincible defense ability.

Waving the power gem to block all the attacks of the future four knights, in the flashing light of the space gem, Thanos' figure instantly appeared behind the four knights, exerting the power of the infinite gauntlet, instantly hitting the body of the scarlet witch. If it is among the future four knights, the only one who can cause some damage to Thanos is the scarlet witch who masters the power of chaos magic.

It's a pity that in the face of Thanos' attack, even Wanda, who has been transformed by the power of Apocalypse, can't resist the power of the infinite gauntlet.

With the fall of the black knight scarlet witch, the remaining three future knights can no longer resist Thanos's offensive. In the blink of an eye, the originally majestic future four knights have fallen in front of Thanos.

"I'm tired of this meaningless battle."

The power that emerged from the Reality Stone instantly modified the power that Apocalypse gave to the four future knights. Looking at the four Iron Man who had returned from their centaur forms to their original appearances, Thanos turned his head and looked at Apocalypse in front of him.

"Now, let's end this."
