The Dark Trident is too immoral. Although it is powerful, the Brotherhood cannot use it. Once they get it, the superheroes will never sit idly by. What they are doing in Egypt now is a bit excessive in the eyes of the superheroes, but if the Egyptian people do not object, they can't do anything. After all, they can't ignore the public opinion of Egypt, right?

If that happens, what is the difference between them and the United States before.
But if the Dark Trident falls into the hands of the Brotherhood...then the superheroes will definitely take action immediately. After all, they know best what the Brotherhood is like. With such a powerful weapon in hand, who knows what they will do?
Even if the Brotherhood promises that they will do nothing, someone has to believe it.
This is how the world is. Many times. It's not a question of whether you do it or not, but a question of whether you have the ability to do it.
Whether you can do it or not, then the initiative is in your hands. Whether you can do it or not is what everyone sees. No one will believe the moral standards of the enemy, and those who test human nature will never have a good end. Naturally, no one would give the Brotherhood a chance to test humanity.
And the Archangel knew better that they didn't need to test. If they had this thing, they would definitely use it.
After all, the mutants who could come from afar were basically the kind of people who were full of resentment towards the current society. These people had no chance to fight back. Once they had the chance, who knew what they would do. Even the Archangel himself, who was considering this issue now, felt that he could not withstand the test.
"Then what can we get?"
The Archangel thought, since we have gone around in a big circle, what can we get? Fuck, it's giving intelligence and sending treasures. It can't be just to give gifts to the little bully, right?
"Hahaha! You can get the Holy City and all the territory of the little bully!"
Nick Fury said with a smile: "Although there is nothing on that piece of land, it lacks water and has little output, but for you, it is a supreme treasure!"
There are three holy places in Islam, Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem.
Mecca is a Saudi Arabian city. Its full name is Mecca Mukarramah, which means "honorable Mecca". Mecca was chosen as the holy place of Islam because it is the birthplace of Muhammad, the founder of Islam. It is the first holy place of Islam and has the Kaaba. He received the first revelation here in the early 7th century AD and began to spread Islam. Muhammad received his first revelation in the Mecca Mosque, which later became one of the holiest places in Islam.
Medina is the second holy city of Islam, where the Prophet Muhammad moved in 622 AD. This migration event is called "an important event in the history of Islam" (Hijra) and is also the starting point of the Islamic calendar. The first holy city of Islam is "Mecca". In history, Mecca is the birthplace of Muhammad, the founder of Islam. Later, the Prophet Muhammad was ostracized by the locals in Mecca, so he came to Medina and changed the name of the city here from "Yathrib" to "Medina", which means "the city of the prophet". In the era of Muhammad, Medina was the political and cultural center of Islam and played a very important role in the history of Islam.
Finally, there is Jerusalem.
For Muslims, Jerusalem is the first place to be worshipped, not Mecca. In the 16th month after the Islamic prophet Muhammad led his followers to leave Mecca and migrate to Medina (September 622 AD), he was instructed by God to change the place of worship from Jerusalem to Mecca. The Quran records that the Prophet Muhammad said: "You should embark on a journey, and there are three mosques on the journey: the Mosque in Mecca, the Mosque in Medina and the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Therefore, Muslims consider Jerusalem to be one of the three most sacred places in the world. There is a legend in Jerusalem that the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, accompanied by the angel Jibril, rode a celestial horse from Mecca to Jerusalem on a night tour of the seven heavens in July 621. On that night, the angel Jibril miraculously took Muhammad from the Holy Mosque in Mecca to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, and then he was taken to heaven to show the miracles of Allah. After Muhammad met many previous prophets and led them in prayer, he was taken back to Mecca. The whole experience lasted for several hours. This event is mentioned in verse 1 of Chapter 17 of the Quran, which records: "Glory to Allah! He took his servants through the night, from the Sacred Mosque (the Holy Mosque in Mecca) to the Farthest Mosque (the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem), and our assurance blessed them - we could show him some of our signs, for he is the one who hears and knows all things".
Muhammad's journey on this night further strengthened the connection between Mecca and Jerusalem as holy cities and became a model for every Muslim's spiritual connection with Jerusalem. Most Muslims still hope that Jerusalem can be restored to a peaceful and complete state, and believers of all religions can live in harmony in Jerusalem.
So Jerusalem is very, very important.
Of course, the above is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that Jerusalem is not in the hands of the Islamic world!
Things that cannot be obtained will always cause unrest. It is precisely because the Holy Land was lost that its importance has been repeatedly enhanced. A good thing, if no one fights for it, really cannot show its value, but if it is snatched by many forces, then its popularity will exceed people's imagination.
This is the case with Jerusalem.
Just like Saladin, the great conqueror of the Islamic world, once said: nothing...everything (movie lines, Saladin said in the movie Kingdom of Heaven, this line is the most impressive in the whole play.)
This sentence represents Jerusalem very well.
It is actually a small city. If you occupy it, you will not see any material benefits. Because there is nothing there. Except for stones and sand, it will not provide any value to Saladin's empire!
So Saladin said it: worthless (nothing).
However, its value is not shown in those superficial, visible materials. But the meaning it represents.
With it, Saladin is the greatest conqueror of the Islamic world!
And he is famous in the Christian and Muslim world for his military talent and leadership style in the Islamic civilization's fight against the Crusades.
Because of it, in the Western historical community, Saladin is praised as a "king with chivalry", a generous, kind but firm ruler. Saladin's opponent, William of Tyre, once said: Saladin is wise, brave, and generous. Because of this, our far-sighted nobles fear (some say worship) him. Because he made us understand that there is no more effective way to win the hearts of subordinates than generous rewards. Wolfram, the court lyric poet of Eschenbach, only knew about Saladin from rumors. He praised Saladin as a noble man, like a Christian.
Saladin launched a "holy war" against the Crusaders, defended Egypt's independence, and preserved and developed Muslim civilization. Some people believe that his achievements saved Islam. The Egyptian and Arab people gave him the honor of "national hero".
The archangel suddenly realized.
He finally understood what gift Nick Fury had given him.
There is no way. Don't blame the archangel for his slow reaction, but... He had only run a community of a few hundred people before, and he was a white man who grew up in the United States. He was not very familiar with Western Christianity, let alone Islam.
He was not an Arab, not a Muslim.
He had no idea how much people here valued the holy city.
Pilgrimage has always been a widely watched religious activity around the world. For Muslims, pilgrimage is one of the important affairs in their lives. According to statistics, there are about 1.9 billion Muslims in the world, and the number of pilgrims is increasing every year, making pilgrimage a religious industry with an annual income of tens of billions of dollars.
Why is pilgrimage so important to Muslims? First of all, pilgrimage is one of the five basic skills of Islam. The so-called five basic skills are: the mind has the merit of thinking, the body has the merit of courtesy, the nature has the merit of fasting, the wealth has the merit of learning, and the life has the merit of pilgrimage. Islam stipulates that every adult Muslim, in addition to having several major beliefs in terms of ideology, must also perform the five major practices in terms of behavior.
Every adult Muslim man and woman should try his best to complete the pilgrimage. Pilgrimage is not only a manifestation of faith and devotion to Islam, but also one of the goals that every Muslim aspires to achieve. Muslims believe that completing pilgrimage in their lifetime can wash away their sins and gain forgiveness and blessings from God. In addition, pilgrimage is also an important opportunity for the Muslim community to build connections and unity, where believers can participate in religious rituals together, share experiences and help each other.
Pilgrimage is a pious experience and a close contact with God. Every believer who goes on pilgrimage will face his own heart, reflect on past mistakes and losses, and correct his beliefs and behaviors. This religious experience and teaching cannot be measured by money.
Pilgrims come from different parts of the world, with different skin colors, languages, cultures, social backgrounds, economic conditions and educational levels. However, on the day of the pilgrimage, they all wear the same simple clothes (two pieces of unsewn white cloth made of clothes), and praise the glory of Almighty God with the same action, the same method and the same goal.
But since the loss of Jerusalem, the pilgrimage to Jerusalem has been cut off.
This is the pain in the hearts of all Arabs.
Whoever can take back the holy city will be the next Saladin!
The archangel's concept has not changed. He still looks at their series of actions with the same approach as when he was in a society before.
He understands the fight against the little bully.
It means to build up prestige, occupy territory, and then make money!
But the country is much more complicated than the society.
For the society, real benefits are more important than face.
But for the country, sometimes face is better than those real benefits!
For the current brotherhood, a divine weapon that is unknown whether it is a blessing or a curse is far less than a holy city.
Once they get the holy city, the prestige of Apocalypse will reach the pinnacle of the Islamic world in modern times!
He defeated the arrogant little bully who bullied the Arab world for decades.
He took back the holy city that had been away from the Arab world for decades!
This is greater than Saladin's achievements!
With this achievement, Apocalypse and the Brotherhood will undoubtedly become the leaders of the Islamic world! Don't they want international recognition? With this, no matter how much the Western world disagrees with Apocalypse and his regime, it will be useless.
Because there are 1.9 billion Muslims who recognize it!
With such a high degree of recognition, it is useless for those Western countries to deny it, so they can only recognize the legitimacy of Apocalypse.
In this way, international recognition will come.
This is just in name, and more practical benefits will continue to flow!
Once Apocalypse opens the holy land for pilgrimage, it is conceivable how many believers will continue to pour into the holy city. Just now I said that pilgrimage is a religious industry worth tens of billions!
This is the real benefit!
How can Apocalypse not attach importance to this great gift?
What kind of shit artifact can be worth this?
Can Egypt defeat the little bully?
According to national strength and hard power... the answer is that it can't be beaten!
Even with the help of mutants, it won't work!
They really can't beat them. Although Europe and the United States are shrinking globally, it doesn't mean that they can watch the little bully perish. This is not only a matter of interests, but also mixed with very strong religious reasons!
That's right, although the West rarely mentions the issue of the holy city.
But they have never said that they will return the holy city to the Arabs!
They don't mention it, and even sympathize with those who have lost their homes, because... the holy city is in their hands after all.
Only the winner is qualified to pity.
They have already won, so what's the point of saying a few nice words? That thing has no cost, and it can also harvest a wave of goodwill. If you want to listen to the unrealistic things, they can say it every day without repeating it. But if there is really danger.
That will definitely cause a strong backlash!
In fact, Apocalypse and others looked at it too simply before, thinking that as long as they made a concerted effort, they could win.
But soon the military aid from various countries made them recognize the reality.
They can't beat them, and they can't beat them.
This is helpless.
"But if they get the Dark Trident... will it cause huge casualties?"
The archangel raised another question.
Unexpectedly, Nick Fury sneered: "Humph, do you care about the lives of those people? If the little bully didn't do this, how could you have a legitimate reason?"
In his words, he didn't care about the huge casualties that the little bully might cause!
This made the archangel stunned.
If you say that the archangel cares about the lives of ordinary people, that's nonsense. He can even kill his father, let alone others.
But thinking of the casualties that the little bully might cause, he was a little uneasy, but Nick Fury actually... didn't care.
While he was feeling cold, he also understood why this grandson became like this.
This guy doesn't treat ordinary people as human beings at all!
...
Will Nick Fury treat ordinary people as human beings?
Of course not. When he first met Kai, this guy showed this point without any care.
But is such a person trustworthy?
"My lord... I think we must seriously consider the cooperation with Nick Fury."
The archangel finally expressed his inner thoughts when he met Apocalypse.
"Why?"
