Alright, here's how it all started.

Last night, Roger wanted to test his abilities, and in the process, he destroyed Hank's test equipment and dented Alex's ego a little.

Although neither of them said anything at the time, they both felt somewhat dissatisfied afterward.

They admitted that Roger was strong. If he were a mutant, he'd at least be classified as an Alpha-level mutant, and they even doubted whether there was anyone in the entire mutant world who could rival him.

But that didn't mean he was invincible. No matter how unbeatable a mutant seemed, they always had a weakness.

Besides, it wasn't like Hank genuinely wanted to take down Roger; he was just frustrated that his test equipment couldn't even push Roger to his limits.

So, after a discussion, Hank and Alex decided to team up and create something that could really test the limits of Roger's defensive power.

That's the device Alex is currently wearing on his chest, which greatly amplifies the shockwaves he can release. They hadn't tested its maximum power yet, but destroying a steel-built skyscraper shouldn't be a problem.

"..."

After listening to Hank's explanation, Charles sighed and said to him:

"Hank, you're almost forty..."

The implication was clear: couldn't he stop being so childish?

Hank looked a bit embarrassed, while Alex seemed eager and turned to Roger, saying:

"Well, regardless of anything else, want to try it out?"

"Sure."

Having strengthened his defenses, Roger's confidence had swelled, and he now feared no challenge.

Forget about a shockwave, Roger wouldn't even flinch if hit by another laser blast; he'd just smile and stay put.

Just as Roger and Alex were about to have a friendly spar, Charles' expression suddenly changed. He spoke in a serious tone to the group:

"Alright, boys, playtime's over for now. Apocalypse has appeared in Cairo."

"Now?"

Roger frowned.

Charles nodded. "Yes, now. We have to go."

At the moment, not everyone had been evacuated from Cairo. In just one day, it was unrealistic to expect that millions of people could completely leave such a massive city, especially a place like Cairo.

So far, only the people in the central district had been evacuated, which was the area Charles had focused on because, according to the vision he had seen in Roger's mind, the city center would be the hardest hit.

But that didn't mean other areas weren't important. The entire city of Cairo was at risk, with the center being the most severely affected.

"Has Apocalypse already made his move?" Roger suddenly asked.

Charles shook his head. "Not yet, but it's likely to happen soon."

"Then I'll go now."

Understanding the severity of the situation, Roger wasted no time. He got up, ready to leave.

Charles immediately stopped him and said:

"Wait. Take Hank with you. The rest of us will catch up soon."
