Chapter 257 Low-profile version of Phoenix power

After the pure energy body Phoenix merged into Carl's body, he felt as if a hundred thousand nuclear bombs exploded in his mind at the same time.

At this moment, his consciousness suddenly blurred, his eyes closed, and he fell straight into the cold mountain covered with a layer of snow.

I have to say that young people are good. They fall asleep as soon as they are tired.

Ten years later.

During this decade, after the Paris incident and the White House incident, Professor X and others successfully prevented Mystique's assassination attempt, which eventually led to the cancellation of the Sentinel Project.

After successfully reversing the situation 50 years ago, mutants are being hunted by the Sentinels into a tragic future where they are close to extinction.

However, due to differences in ideas, Magneto parted ways with Professor X.

He went to Sokovia in Eastern Europe, lived in hiding, and had a wife and daughter.

1983 October.

In Sokovia, Eastern Europe, a sudden factory accident occurred. Magneto, disguised as an ordinary steel plant worker, was forced to expose his abilities in order to save people.

After his abilities were exposed, Magneto knew it was not a good place to stay for long and wanted to escape with his wife and daughter overnight.

But he found that his wife and daughter were missing.

Magneto followed his wife and daughter all the way to the woods outside Sokovia.

It turned out that his co-workers in the factory had betrayed him long ago, and a group of special forces soldiers, taking Magneto's wife and daughter with them, blocked his way.

Magneto wanted to rescue his wife and daughter, and a conflict broke out between the two sides, during which his wife was unfortunately pierced by an arrow in the heart.

Watching her daughter Lorna Dane being threatened at gunpoint by the enemy.

The angry Magneto had no choice but to surrender in exchange for his daughter's safety.

At this moment, Apocalypse, who had been sleeping for thousands of years, suddenly appeared, and arrived in time with three guardians, Storm, Psylocke, and Angel.

And save Magneto and his daughter.

In order to repay his gratitude, Magneto chose to join Apocalypse and volunteered to become one of the four protectors.

At this time, at Xavier School for Gifted Children in New York.

In the secret underground base.

Professor X, Shockwave, Cyclops, Beast, Mystique, Nightcrawler, Phoenix and other X-Men members gathered together.

Everyone's face was very solemn because they had already learned about what happened in Egypt.

A mutant named Apocalypse was born thousands of years ago, and he recruited three powerful mutants as his subordinates.

And Apocalypse’s goal is very clear, which is to rule all mankind.

In order to stop Apocalypse, Professor X and others obtained information that Apocalypse wanted to recruit Magneto as one of the Four Horsemen.

After Professor X heard the news, he immediately led everyone to the school's secret base, intending to use the brain wave controller to find Magneto and alert him.

At this time, Charles had just put on the high-tech helmet with the brain wave amplifier and had not yet had time to use it.

Jean Grey behind him suddenly fainted.

Fortunately, her current boyfriend Cyclops Scott came to her rescue in time and supported her.

"Jin? What's wrong with you?"

"What?"

Hearing the noise coming from behind, Charles quickly stopped using the brainwave enhancement helmet and turned around to check the cause.

Beast Hank, as the super genius and doctor of the X-Men, stepped forward immediately to check the reason why Jean fainted.

After a brief observation, Hank came to an incredible conclusion.

"Qinta."

Scott, who was standing next to him, was very concerned about his girlfriend's safety and asked hurriedly, "What happened to her? Tell me!"

Hank slowly raised his head and looked around at everyone. "Jean is fine. She just lost her mutant powers and fainted due to exhaustion."

Everyone was shocked to hear Hank's conclusion.

"Why is this happening? Did God use some special superpowers?"

Charles, in particular, was eager to ask the reason.

As an Omega-level mutant, Jean was originally one of the X-Men's main forces against Apocalypse.

At this critical moment, Charles couldn't help but be anxious as he lost a general before the battle even started.

Hank looked confused and said, "I don't know the exact cause."

"How about I give Qin an injection of adrenaline to wake her up early? Maybe she can figure out the reason."

Scott with radioactive eyes asked with concern, "Will there be any sequelae if Jean wakes up early?"

Hank shook his head and explained, "The aftereffects aren't serious. At most, Jean will be hyper for a day, and then weak for two or three days."

Since the aftereffects were not serious, Scott saw everyone's expectant eyes and he also wanted to know the reason why Jean suddenly lost her abilities.

So he agreed to let Qin wake up early.

Hank took out a tube of adrenaline from the emergency medical bag he carried with him and injected it into Qin's arm.

After a while, under the nervous gaze of everyone.

Qin finally woke up.

Scott supported Qin who had just woken up and asked considerately: "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Under the effect of adrenaline, Qin's body quickly recovered. She glanced at the worried eyes of the crowd and quickly remembered what had just happened.

She said with a serious expression, "I'm fine. Just now, I suddenly felt some inexplicable attraction, and then I lost control of my abilities."

"I vaguely sensed that the power in my body went out of control and returned to its original form."

After hearing Qin's description, everyone who didn't know much about Qin's abilities were all confused.

Charles said with an unpleasant expression: "I suspect that it was Apocalypse who used some special ability to take away Jean's ability."

When the others heard Professor X's guess, they all looked surprised.

Mystique Raven said with despair on her face: "Apocalypse is already strong enough. If he takes away Jean's abilities, do we still have hope of fighting him?"

As Radiation Eye's brother, Shockwave was able to keep his composure at this time and spoke to comfort him:

"Perhaps Qin's ability was only temporarily sealed by Apocalypse. We can find a way to help Qin restore her ability."

Nightcrawler also agreed: "Alex is right, we can find a way to restore Jean."

at this time.

An extremely vast spiritual storm suddenly appeared and swept across the world.

All mutants on Earth felt a sinking sensation in their hearts, as if some great terror was pressing on them.

Even 60 billion ordinary people were not immune, and an inexplicable feeling of joy suddenly emerged in the hearts of all mankind.

"What happened?"

Riven and others immediately asked questions in surprise.

Charles, who had been a student at Xavier School for Gifted Children for so long, quickly guessed a possibility.

"Could it be that an Omega-level mutant has been born?"

After expressing his guess, Charles did not bother to explain it to others. He hurried back to the brain wave enhancement platform and put on a high-tech helmet.

Point your finger at your temple.

Through the brain wave amplifier, invisible mental waves are amplified dozens of times and sweep across the world.

Finally, in Charles' perception, a terrifying black hole appeared in the Rocky Mountains in Canada.

All the mental fluctuations he emits will be directly absorbed by this black hole.

He couldn't even establish long-distance telepathic communication.

Charles tried again and again to establish a long-distance mental link without giving up. After all, this strange mutant might be an Omega-level existence.

At the critical moment when Apocalypse was born, he was worried that the other party would be deceived by Apocalypse.

ten minutes later.

Hank the Beast, who was standing by, saw that Charles' face was getting paler and paler, and it was obvious that his mental strength was depleted too much.

He quickly pulled down the joystick of the brain wave amplifier and slowly lowered the brain wave amplification multiple.

"Professor? Are you okay?"

As the brain wave amplification rate gradually decreased, Charles rubbed his temples and turned to everyone anxiously:
"Quick! We must take the Blackbird fighter jet to Canada immediately to find the newly born Omega-level mutant. We must not let Apocalypse find him in advance."

Seeing Charles' serious look, Night Walker Kurt reminded him: "If the situation is urgent, give me a specific coordinate and I will take you there directly!"

After hearing this, everyone remembered that Night Walker's ability was teleportation.

So everyone quickly held hands and prepared to teleport directly over.

And Radiant Eyes supported Qin and said, "I will stay to take care of Qin, and the academy also needs someone to stay behind."

The rest of the people had no objection.

So, Charles, Raven, Hank, and Alex held hands and were led by the Night Walker.

In a blink of an eye, the five people appeared in the Rocky Mountains in western Canada.

Since the transmission distance this time was as long as 2600 kilometers, and four people were carried at one time.

As soon as he was teleported here, the Night Walker almost fell down due to excessive consumption.

"are you OK?"

"I am fine."

The beast quickly helped Nightcrawler.

Charles didn't bother to care about the night walker's situation, he noticed it immediately.

The top of the lush mountain not far away seemed to have been shaved off an entire layer by an invisible force. It was nearly a hundred meters shorter than the surrounding mountains, looking quite disproportionate.

Moreover, there was an unknown light source as dazzling as the sun in the sky above the mountain.

Hank held a portable detector for detecting energy index and pointed it at the 'golden sun' not far away.

"Drip drip!"

Looking at the three question marks on the detection instrument screen, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"God! The energy index emitted by this mutant exceeds one million, and the detection equipment can't show an accurate reading!"

At this time, the 'golden sun' slowly lowered and its brightness gradually decreased.

Charles and others then saw that it was a young and handsome man.

Carl is adapting to the Phoenix force within him.

He glanced at the system panel.

[Host: Carl Davis]

[Power: 9999]

[Speed: 3333]

【Physique: 20 billion】

【Intelligence: 960】

[Strength: Peak of single universe level]

[Ability: 27% mastery of Phoenix power (energy absorption, predicting the future, controlling time.]

[Modify reality, convert mass and energy, reorganize matter, create things in the void, control fate and cause and effect, teleport within the multiverse, and resurrect.]

【First-level Mall】【Second-level Mall】

【Level 3 Mall】

[System Points: 127]

Although all of his attributes had been drastically improved, Carl was not happy at all.

Because he fell into the same predicament as Phoenix Girl and was unable to perfectly control his abilities.

The power of the Phoenix comes from the primordial universe and is born at the beginning of all things. It is a chaotic yet immortal, eternal yet impermanent existence.

Possesses abilities of various abnormal levels.

For example, Carl's current ability to manipulate matter can reach the subatomic level.

He could easily change the elements of matter itself, transforming wood into gold and stone into gems.

If he could perfectly control the power of the Phoenix, he would also be able to achieve BUG-level abilities such as mass-energy conversion, matter reorganization, and void creation.

But because the Phoenix Force is a multiverse-level ability, and Carl's strength is only at the single universe level, he is unable to perfectly control the Phoenix Force.
After all, the power of the Phoenix in its heyday was too abnormal. It could decompose, transform, reorganize, create and destroy anything from life to the universe at will.

Able to create, manipulate and destroy all time and space at will.

Even space teleportation, stillness, time teleportation, stillness, manipulation of spatial dimensions, timelines, and traveling back and forth to any point in space and time are no problem.

It can also easily destroy or create any spatial dimension, timeline, and travel freely in any dimension, dimension, or parallel universe.

It has the power to control cause and effect, weave destiny, manipulate everything, and can modify history at will without regard to the law of cause and effect.

It also has the ability to destroy, distort, modify, and restart reality at will.

The Phoenix Force can even manipulate any form of energy in the infinite multiverse.

Specifically, it can directly absorb any energy, such as the entire solar system, even the Milky Way, the universe, etc., and devour everything to replenish itself.

What is exaggerated is that the Phoenix Force also has the highest level of cosmic intuition and predictive ability, which can be used to predict and see through the past/present/future.

It can generate energy by folding time and space to create portals and travel through time and space at will.

Even if Carl was injured or killed.

He can also return to the white-hot room where the reality of the omnipotent universe intersects, manipulate the power of the universe to transform into a "giant egg" to heal his wounds, until he is reborn in nirvana.

It can be said that the Phoenix Force in its heyday was a complete bug among bugs.

This abnormal ability exceeds the limits of human imagination.

Even if Carl absorbed all the fragments of Phoenix Force scattered throughout the multiverse, he could only barely use part of its power.

For example, he can now manipulate reality on a small scale, manipulate time and space, and manipulate matter at the subatomic level.

You can predict the future of the most powerful God-father-level beings, but you cannot predict your own future.

It is possible to control the fate of the most powerful God-father-level beings and affect the cause and effect within a single parallel universe.

One can teleport freely within the multiverse and travel through countless parallel universes, but one cannot leave the multiverse.

Carl is now equivalent to a low-end version of the Phoenix Force. His strength is at the top of the single universe level and has not yet broken through to the multiverse level.

But fortunately, it is the power of the Phoenix exchanged from the system.

The Phoenix force in Carl's body is very docile, and it will not have the same darkening influence as the Phoenix Girl.

He just can't unleash 100% of the power of the Phoenix, but he can still use the power of the Phoenix without limit.

She is not like Phoenix Girl, who suffers serious side effects every time she uses her abilities.

Therefore, overall, Carl is quite satisfied with his current situation.

After all, as time goes by, his control over the power of the Phoenix will become better and better.

In other words, there is no bottleneck in his strength. As long as he reaches a certain critical point, he will easily cross the bottleneck and reach the multiverse level.

Therefore, he was already very satisfied. One cannot become a big fat man in one bite. Even if one cheats, one must abide by the basic laws.

You have to know that his strength has just reached the single universe level. If he breaks through two levels directly without the corresponding mentality, it may be harmful.
