Chapter 1843 Evil Deal (Ask for Guaranteed Monthly Pass!!!)
Chapter 1843 Evil Deal (ask for guaranteed monthly ticket!!!! Ask for recommendation ticket!!!)
The Archangel immediately spread his wings to block Apocalypse behind him, and at the same time, the smaller pair of wings behind him immediately stood up, and the feathers pointed to the shadow with a metallic luster!
The Archangel's wings are made of metal, which is extremely hard, and the wingspan is very large. It can be used as a temporary shelter in an emergency, and can surround the protected target in an instant. This is why the Archangel will always stay with Apocalypse. His ability is indeed very suitable for being a bodyguard.
Bang!
The sound of a heavy object hitting the floor came from the shadow, and then one after another.
Then a dark figure walked out of the shadow, and those sounds were the sounds of the dark trident in the figure's hand hitting the floor.
When the figure walked into the sunlight, the Archangel could see the person clearly.
It was the Black Manta who had joined them some time ago... However, compared to Nick Fury, who had a greater influence, and Orm, who had a noble status, the existence of Black Manta was not valued by the Brotherhood and Apocalypse, and he was only regarded as a follower of the two.
Unexpectedly, it was this guy who came back to find them this time.
And it seemed that this guy was in a very bad state. Black Manta was black, but his face was extremely ugly now, without any luster. At the same time, his cheeks and forehead were covered with many tattoos similar to blood vessels, emitting bursts of black and green light. There was also a large piece missing from his waist, and the flesh and internal organs inside were completely exposed to the air, emitting bursts of stench!
The Archangel was very shocked and also very self-blaming. Such an enemy actually came to Apocalypse, and he didn't even notice it!
This is a major mistake!
But the Archangel can probably guess the reason for all this.
That trident full of decay and malice!
The Dark Trident.
When the Dark Trident was killing people everywhere with the Little Overlord, Egypt was naturally concerned about the movement of this artifact, so they knew the appearance of that thing.
"Back off, Warren." Apocalypse said lightly.
Although the Archangel felt that this was not good, Apocalypse's order was absolute, so the Archangel retracted his wings while being alert to Black Manta, but he did not retract them into his body, but exposed them outside his body.
Be ready to fight and protect Apocalypse at any time.
"Ant... You dared to appear in front of me after fooling me. What gave you the confidence, that so-called artifact?" Apocalypse looked at the person in front of him indifferently... He was not sure whether the thing in front of him was really a human. Anyway, the breath of death on this guy was too strong. In the past, Apocalypse could only feel this kind of dead silence and coldness on the rotting corpse.
Black Manta looked at Apocalypse in front of him and silently evaluated the plan in advance.
Before coming, Black Manta prepared two plans.
The first plan is naturally the simplest way, that is to directly enslave the freak in front of him. In this way, he will not only get a powerful slave, but also the submission of an entire country.
It is undoubtedly the most cost-effective way.
But after really facing Apocalypse, Black Manta felt that he had underestimated Apocalypse before. Let alone whether the artifact can control him, whether Apocalypse will give him a chance to control him is another matter.
But fortunately, there is still plan B.
"Don't be excited, Apocalypse. It's not me who deceived you, but Nick Fury and Orm. They just hope to rely on you to get this artifact." Black Manta is easy to talk to, and he is not as arrogant as he was in front of Nick Fury and Orm.
"I know!" Apocalypse certainly knew about this, but Apocalypse didn't care. He was confident that no matter what these people did, he could deal with it. But he didn't expect that these three guys would run away without doing anything.
It made Apocalypse look forward to it in vain.
Most importantly, Apocalypse's original plan to completely destroy the Little Overlord was also shattered... He didn't care about the artifact. Even if he was given that thing, he would hand it over... Before he had the confidence to rule the world, he would not offend the whole world for a artifact. At that time, the greatest possibility of this artifact would be that he would use it to exchange for benefits.
"But this is not the reason why you can stand in front of me? That piece of scrap metal can't make you qualified to speak nonsense in front of me." Apocalypse has begun to get impatient. The artifact is important, but that's it. If Black Manta can't come up with more important chips, then Apocalypse plans to end the conversation.
He doesn't have time to talk nonsense with a living dead.
"Okay, okay. Honorable Prophet, I came here to seek cooperation!" Black Manta felt the powerful momentum of Apocalypse. He knew that if Apocalypse really turned against him, he would definitely not be able to resist, just like he faced Kai.
To be honest, Kai's axe made Black Manta much more pragmatic.
After getting the Dark Trident, Black Manta became very arrogant, as if he was invincible. He even compared himself to Kai and others, and even arrogantly thought that he could completely defeat those superheroes with some tricks.
In the end, these ambitions were directly destroyed by Kai's axe...
This is also the reason why he did not stay in Antarctica any longer. After Atlantis learned of his conspiracy, it joined forces with other kingdoms to surround the Antarctic seal. If he dared to approach the seal, he would be immediately besieged by the underwater kingdoms. That's not all. Kai and a group of superheroes would come to support him. In this case, if he continued to carry out the previous plan, it would be pure death.
So Black Manta thought of Apocalypse.
"Cooperation? Just you?"
Apocalypse was not surprised by this cooperation. After all, this guy sneaked in here, and he would definitely not just chat with him.
"Of course! Just me!" Black Manta said very confidently: "To show my sincerity, I brought a gift."
As he said that, he spread out his palm, and a piece of metal fragments similar to bronze lay in his palm.
Apocalypse did not reach out to take it. Who knows what that thing is? He did not need to take the risk: "What is this?"
"Orichalcum! A super energy source from deep-sea volcanoes!"
Black Manta did not hide it... After all, this thing was destined to be handed over to Apocalypse. Apocalypse would know what characteristics and side effects it had as long as he studied it. There was no point in lying about it.
"Energy..." Apocalypse squinted at the green ore.
"Just such a small piece can supply electricity to the whole of Egypt for a year or even longer!" Black Manta still said honestly.
Apocalypse did not continue to ask about the source and reserves of this thing. If he should know, this Black Manta would definitely tell him. If he should not know, this monster in front of him would not let him know, so there was no point in being anxious. It would be better to talk about more important things: "So what do you want?"
What you get, you must pay for it.
Apocalypse knew this truth when he was very young, and this truth is true from ancient times to the present.
"I have technology, but I lack productivity. I can provide technology, but you must produce it and then share it with me." The exchange conditions offered by Black Manta can be said to be very, very generous. But even if Apocalypse has cerebellar atrophy, he knows that this grandson is not holding back. Apocalypse is not Black Manta's biological father. Why should he give him such good conditions?
There is definitely a problem.
But Apocalypse doesn't care!
Even if it is true, what can he do? Will he be afraid?
Just kidding, no matter what conspiracy this grandson has, as long as he captures the thief first, everything can be solved!
Simple and crude, but effective!
"Yes! But the premise is that you must guarantee that there is no problem with the technology you provide!"
"Of course! You can verify it!"
In this way, an agreement that can threaten the whole world was reached. It looks a bit child's play, but in fact it is not very formal. Both parties feel that they have absolute confidence, so they don't care about the conditions at all.
...
The two talked secretly for a night, and then Black Manta left some information.
The Archangel looked at the black manta ray disappearing in the night sky and said worriedly: "My Lord, do we really have to believe this villain?"
The Archangel didn't like this guy because the black manta ray gave him a very bad feeling. How to say it? It was a bit like the mercenaries he had met before, greedy for money, without any faith, rude and short-sighted, with malicious eyes... To be honest, he didn't think much of the black manta ray because he gave him the feeling of a half-baked manta ray.
Let me rule the ocean, and you rule the land! Everyone has a bright future... Psychopath! Who gave him the courage?
"When did I say I would believe him?" Apocalypse asked back.
"Then..." The Archangel was speechless for a moment.
"I'm worried about the future, Warren." Apocalypse raised his head and looked at the dawn sky. A red light had already appeared on the sea in the distance: "Our situation is not good."
This is the truth. Although Egypt defeated the little bully and took back the holy city under the leadership of Apocalypse, it does not mean that Egypt is qualified to show off its power to the world. On the contrary, in this situation, Egypt's external situation has become worse.
How does the saying go?
I am afraid of my friends' hardship, and I am afraid of my friends driving a Land Rover.
In the past, Egypt was like that, and everyone could naturally support it and fight against the little bully, but now that the little bully has been defeated, Egypt has exceeded its mission and directly captured the holy city, so don't blame other countries for being afraid of it.
Who knows whether Egypt will take advantage of the situation to become the boss of the Islamic world and point fingers at them... This situation has not happened before.
So the war was won, but Egypt has fewer friends.
Moreover, because of the apocalypse, the Western world has a lot of opinions about Egypt. Don't look at the Western world's criticism of the little bully before, as if the little bully is a neo-Nazi, but no matter from which aspect, the West will still be closer to the little bully.
You Egypt exploded today and beat the little bully, it would be strange if his wild fathers could let it go.
Now it is because of various reasons that everyone is not convenient to do anything, but don't give them a chance. Once they have a chance, they will definitely give Egypt a hard blow.
After all, Egypt’s geographical location is really important!
First, Egypt is located at the intersection of Asia, Europe and Africa, and has a unique geographical location. This has made Egypt an important transportation hub connecting the East and the West in history. From ancient times to modern times, Egypt has always been a key channel connecting the Eurasian continent and the African continent, which has made Egypt play an extremely important role in geopolitics. Egypt's geographical location also determines its importance in political, economic and cultural exchanges, and has become a bridge for various civilizations to exchange what they have. Secondly, the Suez Canal is the core of Egypt in the Middle East. The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, and is the shortest waterway connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The main purpose of building the Suez Canal is to solve the shipping problem between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Without the Suez Canal, ships need to bypass the Horn of Africa, and the voyage will be greatly increased. Therefore, the opening of the Suez Canal has greatly shortened the route, reduced transportation costs, improved transportation efficiency, and played a positive role in promoting international trade and economic development. The Suez Canal has also become an important channel for maritime trade, attracting the attention and investment of countries around the world. In addition, Egypt's geographical location also determines its important position in regional security and political stability. Egypt is adjacent to countries such as Libya, Sudan, Israel and Palestine, all of which face various political and security challenges. Egypt plays an important role in regional affairs with its strong military power and regional influence. Egypt has played an important role in promoting peace, stability and economic development in the Middle East and has become an important force in the region.
Such an important strategic location must not be handed over to a strong regime to control, which is not in the interests of the Western world.
Apart from anything else, the Suez Canal alone is enough to give the Western world a headache!
Especially today when shipping has not yet recovered! This is even more important.
At this stage, more than 80% of the world's shipping is controlled by China, and the shortest way from Asia to Europe is through Suez.
Once there is a problem here, Europe, which relies heavily on cheap industrial products from Asia, may collapse at any time!
So the Western world will never let a strong man like Apocalypse control Egypt!
The key is that Egypt itself is also very fragile. Apart from Apocalypse, they have nothing to use as a bargaining chip.
This time, so many leaders of important countries gathered in the Holy City, on the one hand to promote the reconciliation between the Little Overlord and Egypt, and on the other hand to test Apocalypse to see if there is any hope of winning Apocalypse over... Of course, this is only a stopgap measure. They hope that Egypt will return to its former appearance and be controlled by the Western world.
That way they will be more assured.
Instead of being like now, Apocalypse uses the regime to control all the important economic lifelines of the country, and looks like it wants to be independent from the Western world. This look is the most annoying. Anyway, there are already remarks about Apocalypse's dictatorship in the market.
The West still uses the old tricks, first labeling Apocalypse a dictator, then denying the legitimacy of his regime, and then discovering and supporting domestic opposition.
Then start a civil war, they support both sides, and even better, split the country, the more fragmented the better!
"We must come up with chips that can protect ourselves so that other countries dare not act rashly." Apocalypse sighed.
