Chapter 463 Apocalypse!
The lamplighter sat dejectedly on the ground. Even though Zhang Yi asked him to rest on a chair before, he still didn't want to move at all.
After living in this world for thirty or forty years in a state of confusion, this is the first time that Lamplighter faces his own life. Perhaps it was his previous indulgence in the Super Seven that made it difficult for him to take into account his true thoughts.
Now that he has left the Watt Group and without his father's intervention, he has time to reflect on what he has done over the years.
He doesn't know what is right or wrong. In other words, he knows what is right and wrong, but he didn't care before. At that time, he just wanted to be the most outstanding character in the eyes of others. That’s all.
A good son in the eyes of his father, a superhero in the eyes of the people, an idol in the eyes of fans, and the most outstanding tool man in the eyes of the Walt Group.
It turns out that my goals all along have been so mediocre.
Looking back now, it's really ridiculous.
I have worked hard for so long just to be the person in the eyes of others. When did I give up on my dreams and goals? Do I live my whole life only for others?
"It's not as easy as you think to deal with the Watt Group." The lamplighter lowered his head and spoke to break the silence. "The Super Seven is just the first obstacle you can see. There are countless threats within the group."
"I understand, that's why I seek more power like you." Zhang Yi said calmly.
"It's difficult." The lamplighter rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile. "Those children who were brainwashed by Walter will not understand you. As for those ordinary ability users, their combat power cannot help you."
The lamplighter was right about this. In this world, superpowers have developed to this point. In addition to those babies injected with No. 5 compound, there are also children born by some superpowers who carry superpowers. Can be genetic.
The descendants of these superpowers generally inherit their parents' superpowers, and then follow their parents again to be controlled by the Vought Group. When their parents grow old, they use their youthful names to continue working for the Vought Group.
Although these people possess powerful superpowers, they are basically unable to help resist Walt. Instead, they become obstacles.
"For the general public with superpowers, developing in the Vought Group is their goal. Money and power are all they want at their fingertips. Simply put, the Vought Group is the place where they can realize their dreams."
The lamplighter said bitterly. "In this case, when you want to destroy the Vought Group, how many people do you think will be on your side and how many people will be on your opposite side."
"Indeed, I can be considered as tampering with their 'interests'." Zhang Yi crossed his arms. "After all, the Watt Group has established rules. If you want to break these rules, you will inevitably be resisted."
"So you should understand that resisting the Vought Group is almost impossible, even for you. They have countless ways to kill you."
The lamplighter pointed to the door and said. "There are quite a few people with superpowers imprisoned here. You should have seen their files. One of them is named Cindy. As long as she wants to, she can blow me to pieces with just a flick of her finger.
These are just those imprisoned here. Can you imagine those little bastards in Godokin University who will do whatever it takes to become famous, and those second-generation super heroes, they will try their best to kill us both.
For nothing else, just because Walter told them that we are enemies, that's enough. Those guys will use all their strength to kill the two of us, and I'm not counting the Super Seven. "
"If this is not troublesome, there is no need for me to make an extra trip, right?" Zhang Yi smiled nonchalantly.
Seeing that the other party was still laughing under such circumstances, the lamplighter felt that this guy was either a lunatic, or that he was very confident in his own fighting ability.
But there is no point in thinking about it now. The lamplighter now only wants to live for himself. He does not want to continue to be the dog of the Walter Group. He wants to find the meaning of his life, the real meaning.
"You promise me that after this matter is over, you will take me out of this world and go to those parallel universes, right?" The lamplighter looked at Zhang Yi with a solemn expression.
"Yes, I promise you, I will definitely take you away." Zhang Yi replied.
The original lamplighter was born in pollution. If he were taken out, Zhang Yi was not sure whether he would become a carrier of pollution and spread those thoughts.
But now he has been contaminated by himself. In this case, the lamplighter's soul has been completely washed and will never become a source of pollution again.
Even if he wants to spread pollution, all he will spread is his own pollution.
"Well."
The lamplighter nodded heavily.
"I will do everything I can to help you, but I cannot guarantee you the success rate of this matter. After all, my strength is far from the level of my motherland."
"About this." Seeing the lamplighter mention this, Zhang Yi stood up thoughtfully, staring at the lamplighter's face and lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" The lamplighter frowned curiously.
For some reason, when he looked at Zhang Yi, he always felt that he was thinking about something strange in his head, as if he was being treated as a guinea pig.
"Don't be nervous. I just want to do a small experiment on you. Don't worry, there will be no impact or surprise. You won't even feel pain."
Zhang Yi took out a pile of cards from his pocket and began to rummage through them carefully.
"Found it, here it is."
It didn't take long for a card in the shape of a bald man wearing a blue shirt with strange patterns on his face to appear in Zhang Yi's hand.
The man on the card has gray skin and horses of four colors underneath him. The man has his hands raised, as if he is preparing to start a devastating war that will shock the world.
"What is that?" The lamplighter looked at the card and instinctively felt a sense of suffocation.
It was like a lamb encountering a pack of wolves. The pressure brought by such a superior person, who was like a natural enemy, directly made his heart beat faster.
"This is a superpower with a long history who calls himself 'Apocalypse'."
Zhang Yi silently stared at the beautiful picture on the card and slowly introduced it.
"Apocalypse is one of the oldest mutants in history. His superpowers are very powerful, and he carries a variety of superpowers. The most interesting one is that he can strengthen other mutants. superpower.
In fact, it is not particularly accurate to say 'enhancement'. It is an energy transmission ability that can transfer the energy from one's body to others, greatly enhancing the other person's mutant ability. "
As he spoke, Zhang Yi showed a kind smile to the lamplighter.
However, to the lamplighter, this smile was as terrifying as the devil's ferocity. He struggled to get up and looked at Zhang Yi in surprise.
"You, what are you going to do?!"
"I told you not to worry. I just want to try to see if Apocalypse's ability, as a genetically mutated superpower, can help you become stronger. After all, your current combat effectiveness is indeed a bit too weak."
"No need, I think I'm pretty good now. If you want to experiment, there are more than twenty people in the cell who can line up for you to try." The lamplighter shook his head violently.
Ever since he learned that his superpowers came from Compound No. 5, Lamplighter has become extremely resistant to science and research.
So when he heard that Zhang Yi was going to do an experiment on him, he felt as if his tail had been stepped on.
"You know, for ordinary people, I don't want to waste this energy. Don't worry, you won't feel pain." Zhang Yi slowly raised his hand.
"I really don't need it, I really don't need it, I uhhhhhh!!"
Before the lamplighter could finish speaking, a heartbreaking pain shot through his bones.
The severe pain felt like someone was scraping his bone marrow with a blade. The pain all over his body made him lose his voice for a moment, and he fell to his knees on the ground.
"Don't worry, it doesn't hurt."
Zhang Yi suddenly thrust his hand forward, and the energy in his body integrated into the other person's body in a way that could not be seen by the naked eye, and transformed his body in an extremely wild way.
"It doesn't hurt!"
The inside of the lamplighter's body suddenly emitted fluorescence, flowing underneath his skin like lava. His bones and blood vessels could be clearly seen from the outside.
Clenching his fists and trembling slightly, the lamplighter felt something inside his body was about to burst out. Before he could react, a green flame had already burned from his fists.
This seemed to be just a prelude. Soon, more and more flames filled the air. His whole body was enveloped by this strong flame, and he turned into a humanoid creature formed by the gathering of flames.
"Uh ah ah"
Opening his eyes, the lamplighter felt that he was filled with inexhaustible power.
In the past, he needed an open flame to activate his superpowers, but now, the flame seems to have become his toy, and he can summon it with a wave of his hand.
And not only that, those flames and high temperatures can no longer harm him. Now he is like the incarnation of flame. He even wants to try to swim in the magma.
Looking at the completely changed lamplighter, Zhang Yi showed a faint smile.
Originally, he was not sure whether his energy could be adapted to this world, but apparently he was overly worried. After obtaining his own energy, the lamplighter's combat power was strengthened several times.
Not only the physical fitness and bone strength, but also the control of flames and cells have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Thanks to Apocalypse's energy transmission, the other party can even transform the angel's flesh wings into steel bars, so it seems that it is not a big deal to reshape the lamplighter's superpowers.
"How do you feel?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Huhu."
The lamplighter gasped for breath. The pain on his body had just subsided, but before he could recover, he paused and silently put away the flames on his body.
Sitting paralyzed on the ground, the lamplighter raised his head and gave Zhang Yi a middle finger.
"I\u0026¥%\u0026¥!"
"I just thought you were complimenting me."
Zhang Yi smiled nonchalantly, and then pointed to the clothes hanging on the wall next to him.
"Put on your clothes, we're going to do something big next."
