Hmm, me? I am Anubis, the god of death! I have come to judge you for the many sins you have committed!" Huang Wen's lips curled into a mischievous smile. With a wave of his hand, the guns in the trio's hands and all the guns in the car flew into the air.
"Impossible! Anubis handed over the position of Lord of the Underworld to Osiris, so Anubis no longer carries out judgments!" The guide looked at the handguns floating in the air, swallowed nervously, yet said something that surprised Huang Wen.
"Oh? It seems you really do know a bit!" Huang Wen glanced at the guide in surprise. With a wave of his hand, the sand beneath the other three men's feet scattered under Huang Wen's ability to control objects. Amidst their desperate struggles, the three men were directly buried by the sand.
This was the power of controlling objects; as long as one's telekinetic power was sufficient, it was equivalent to simultaneously possessing many different superpowers to control various attributes.
"Come, tell me, do you really know of any undiscovered pyramids…" Huang Wen looked into the guide's eyes and directly used his hypnotic ability.
"I have indeed heard of a few undiscovered pyramids, but those are all urban legends, and I can't be sure…" The guide said with vacant eyes, "After all, the cost of excavating a pyramid is simply too great, and it often results in more losses than gains. Therefore, fewer people have been excavating in recent years; only some tourists want to see the pyramids."
"Think of the locations of those pyramids you know about." Huang Wen and Belle understood that those tourists were all murdered for their money, dying at the hands of these people. Not only did they lose their money, but they also lost their lives.
Therefore, Huang Wen felt no burden in killing such people. After reading the locations of several suspected pyramid sites in the guide's mind, Huang Wen also buried the guide in the sand, alongside his companions, as a burial for the innocent tourists who had tragically died at their hands.
"Let's go. We'll just drive this pickup truck." Huang Wen used his Icy Blazing Palm, and ice and fire intertwined in the air, then transformed into a stream of water. Under Huang Wen's ability to control objects, the water stream washed over the entire pickup truck, removing the foul odor left by the guide and his companions.
It must be said that although Huang Wen's strength hadn't improved much during this period, with his divine power only increasing by 0.3 points, he was becoming more and more proficient in using his various abilities.
Before long, after Huang Wen had thoroughly cleaned the pickup truck, he took Belle and got into the truck, heading towards the location in the guide's mind where a pyramid was suspected to exist.
This was Belle's first time riding in a car driven by Huang Wen, so she initially seemed a bit excited. However, after a short while, when the scenery outside the window remained unchanged, Belle finally grew bored and began to meditate.
Huang Wen drove the pickup truck, searching for three suspected pyramid sites, all of which turned out to be empty. But when Huang Wen arrived at the last place the guide knew about, his eyes lit up.
Huang Wen's perception clearly sensed a powerful presence deep underground, and after scanning deep underground, Silly Girl also concluded that the opponent's strength was far superior to Huang Wen's, and she also had an important piece of information.
The life form below was subtly about to awaken! Apocalypse was about to wake up!
"Rumble!" Just as Huang Wen was pondering how to set some obstacles for Apocalypse to see if he could complete the mission, Huang Wen's perception was shaken off. This caused Huang Wen's expression to change, as he sensed that Apocalypse already had signs of waking up; his mental power had begun to recover.
"Ah!" Belle's face paled slightly; she too was affected by Apocalypse's mental power.
"Wait for me here!" Huang Wen's gaze sharpened. He immediately used his Dream Butterfly Escape, taking Belle to the underground base. He was worried that Apocalypse's awakening might harm Belle.
"Be careful!" Belle also looked at Huang Wen with some concern,
"Come back safely…"
"Don't worry, I'm just going to try it out. If it doesn't work, I'll run!" Huang Wen grinned, giving Belle a reassuring look, then his figure transformed into specks of light and disappeared from the spot.
"Silly Girl, will Huang Wen be alright?" Belle had been to the underground base before, or rather, Huang Wen would bring her to the underground base every night when they meditated and cultivated.
"Don't worry, with Boss's ability, even if he's no match, the opponent won't be able to trap him." Silly Girl, who had upgraded the underground base several times, smiled and shook her head, slightly reassuring Belle.
When Huang Wen returned to the pyramid where Apocalypse was located, he keenly sensed that Apocalypse's consciousness was becoming clearer and clearer, just like a person's consciousness gradually clearing when they are about to wake up.
"System, issue a mission: Stop Apocalypse from awakening!" After a brief thought, Huang Wen issued the mission to the system.
"Generating mission: Stop Apocalypse from awakening. Reward: One Legendary Item Draw. Do you accept?"
"Legendary Item?!" Huang Wen's eyes lit up. One must know that the last Legendary Item Draw had resulted in the Magical Phone, Silly Girl. He wondered what good things this time would bring, but Huang Wen quickly snapped back to reality. The most important thing at the moment was to complete the mission first.
"Silly Girl, continue power transmission!" Huang Wen took a deep breath and sat cross-legged.
"Yes, Boss!" Silly Girl's voice rang out, and a data stream surged into Huang Wen's body, her power empowering Huang Wen.
The next moment, Huang Wen activated his Indestructible Diamond Divine Art, then converted all his power into mental power and entered the depths of the earth.
However, Huang Wen had no intention of clashing head-on with Apocalypse. That wouldn't be stopping Apocalypse from awakening, but rather directly waking him up, and then the mission wouldn't be as simple as it was now.
At this moment, Huang Wen was using his mental power to weave an illusion: an illusion where, after Apocalypse awakened, the entire world would be filled with mutants, who would welcome Apocalypse's rule and submit to him. And this was precisely what Apocalypse desired most.
Therefore, Apocalypse, who was already in a daze, once again had his sweet dream, sleeping exceptionally soundly, like a second nap.
"Ding! Mission: Stop Apocalypse from awakening completed. Reward: One Legendary Item Draw!" The system's prompt let Huang Wen know that Apocalypse had fallen asleep again.
"Hoo!" On the ground, Huang Wen exhaled a long, tired breath, his face extremely pale. If it weren't for the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art's unified nature, coupled with Silly Girl and the Regeneration Dragon constantly providing Huang Wen with powerful mental energy, Huang Wen would have failed just now.
Constructing an illusion to trap a target more powerful than himself was much harder than Huang Wen had imagined, and it also made Huang Wen realize how troublesome Charles was, being able to trap the Phoenix Force.
