Thanos then ignored the deployed mechanical soldiers and returned to the mothership with the Black Order.

Temple II broke through the atmosphere and entered space. The reactor was outputting energy at full capacity, and the planet-destroying cannon was charging up.

At the Clinton Hotel in New York, Harvey had just met up with Jean when he sensed a faint sense of threat emanating from space.

He immediately extended his mental energy to search for the source of the threat, and discovered the Temple II, whose main cannon was faintly glowing.

Harvey said to Jean with a grave expression, "It seems Thanos has gone mad and wants to destroy Earth with planet-destroying weapons. We have to leave immediately."

"Qin, I'll take you away now. Remember not to resist."

Just as Harvey dragged Jean out of bed, she was groggily transported to space by teleportation.

Harvey immediately raised his hand, and a beam of red light shot out from his fingertips.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

The 4.0 version of the combined magic attack flew at extremely high speed, covering thirty kilometers in a flash, and accurately interrupted the main cannon of the Temple II as it was charging up.

"Rumble..."

Sound cannot travel in space, and Harvey witnessed a silent, massive explosion.

Because the Star Destroyer Cannon is in a charging state, the defensive performance of the energy shield is reduced by 90%.

That's why the Temple II's protective shield was breached by the Thunder Explosion, destroying a small portion of the mothership's external area.

Seeing that the main gun's charging hadn't been interrupted, Harvey was just about to fire ten more thunderous explosions to completely destroy the mothership.

By then it was too late.

Thanos decisively ordered the main cannon to be fired ahead of schedule.

A beam of dark blue light, 200 meters thick, shot out from the main cannon of Temple II, instantly evaporating the cosmic dust in its path and piercing the atmosphere.

After the Earth's surface was struck by the pale blue beam of light, a shockwave visibly rippled outwards, spreading in all directions.

Part of the entire crust was destroyed by the explosion, and the core layer was exposed and smelted, visible to the naked eye.

Humanity's home planet now looks like it's been bitten in half by a monster.

The apocalypse triggered by the super earthquake and super tsunami plunged Earth into a living hell.

Qin was stunned, her mouth agape, speechless.

Harvey sighed inwardly, noticing a black hole that had inexplicably appeared at the Earth's core, frantically pulling and devouring the surrounding matter.

At the same time, a terrifying gravitational force appeared, pulling Temple II toward the black hole and causing it to crash.

The black hole's boundaries are rapidly expanding, and its gravity is increasing exponentially.

Harvey and Qin were both affected.

"Trouble. It seems the cosmic anchor has been destroyed. We can't stay in this world anymore."

The moment Harvey saw the black hole, he knew the universe was doomed.

If they didn't leave soon, he and Qin would be torn apart by the black hole's gravity.

Helpless, Harvey, carrying the energy of the harp, once again entered the familiar spacetime tunnel and entered the quantum domain.

We traveled through the bizarre quantum tunnel for ten minutes.

Harvey and Jean are affected by the black hole's gravity and uncontrollably fall into a hole in the wall of the quantum fork.

------------

My consciousness wavered for a moment.

Harvey and Jean quickly recovered and cautiously observed their unfamiliar surroundings.

This appeared to be a conference room in some secret base. With the help of the bright lights, he could see several familiar faces sitting around the conference table.

Captain Peggy Carter, Captain Marvel, Mister Fantastic, Professor X, Black Bolt, and Baron Mordo.

Upon seeing these familiar figures, countless thoughts flashed through Harvey's mind.

"This seems to be Illuminati territory?"

When Jean saw Professor Charles, she greeted him with delight, "Professor, what are you doing here?"

Charles also recognized the red-haired woman who greeted him, and he looked puzzled: "Jin? Aren't you dead? And who is this gentleman next to you?"

Qin was completely bewildered. "When did I die?"

After experiencing more, she quickly came to understand everything.

"Oh, I see. This is the new world. Professor, you must be referring to my counterpart."

"The man next to me is named Harvey. We come from a parallel universe and are also members of the X-Men."

The Illuminati members didn't quite understand the concept of parallel universe counterparts, but seeing that Jean knew Charles lessened their wariness considerably.

Captain Carter and Mr. Fantastic exchanged a glance, and Carter tentatively asked, "You two have suddenly appeared in the conference room. May I ask your purpose?"

Harvey gave an innocent, dry laugh. "Uh... would you believe me if I said I accidentally got lost?"

Carter's face fell. "Lost? Are you kidding me? Lost and you managed to sneak into the heavily guarded headquarters of the Illuminati?"

The other Illuminati members also looked incredulous.

Qin began to explain with a serious expression.

"It's true. We were affected by a mysterious force during our journey through the multiverse and were forced to come to this strange universe."

Professor Charles, the bald old man, frowned and asked, "Jin, you broke through the mental defenses I set up for you?"

Qin nodded and said matter-of-factly, "It is a mistake to suppress the rapidly expanding Phoenix Power."

"Since I perfected control of the Phoenix Force, my soul has felt as if it has been elevated!"

"Professor, your past actions have only pushed me further and further into the abyss."

Chapter 257 The situation is tense

Charles realized that Qin was serious; he could vaguely sense her strength, which gave her an unfathomable and mysterious aura.

Moreover, even gods make mistakes; he was merely a mutant leader with some intelligence.

For a moment, Charles was unsure whether his approach to the piano was right or wrong.

Everyone understands the principle that it's better to guide than to block.

However, the situation back then was special. For Qin, the only way to control her rapidly expanding power was to suppress it.

That's why Professor Charles was so unsure, until he caught a glimpse of Jean subtly gesturing with the corner of her mouth.

He then came to his senses and spoke up to stop the Black Bat King on his left.

"Wait, I'm willing to vouch for these two."

The impulsive Black Bolt wanted to capture the two enemies who had barged into the conference room with ill intentions and interrogate them, but Charles stopped him.

Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, stared at Harvey and demanded, "Unless you can prove to us that you're a good person, we must eliminate all destabilizing factors in order to maintain long-term peace on Earth!"

Harvey was quite annoyed by this; this amazing old lady was indeed an American hero who couldn't tolerate even the slightest imperfection.

I will not allow anything to escape my control; otherwise, it is an enemy, and enemies must be defeated.

If you don't have the strength, you resort to unorthodox methods.

They even concocted a perfect theory to deceive themselves, claiming that even poisoning and coercion could be used as a pretext to relieve the siege of Wei.

Little did they know that they were wrong from the very beginning. They couldn't distinguish between enemies and allies, and they recklessly tried to turn the neutral party into an enemy.

In Harvey's eyes, Captain Marvel is just a brainless, saintly figure.

If you think something is wrong, then it is absolutely wrong. Even if you are wrong, you can just apologize casually and then continue to "help others" as if nothing happened.

Now that reasoning with her had failed, Captain Marvel decided to take action.

Since they were making a move on Illuminati territory, Harvey was not afraid of losing out.

"If you want to win me over, feel free to try."

"I don't need to report to anyone what I want to do, and you have no right to interrogate me!"

Carol was furious when she heard this. Since becoming a member of the Illuminati, she had never met anyone who dared to talk back to her.

She has helped so many planets in the universe; she is a renowned saint.

Now a guy who seems to be a bad guy has appeared, and she has to take him down!

"I will not allow such an uncontrollable factor as you to operate on Earth..."

The two sides were on the verge of a fight, as if they were about to come to blows at any moment.

Captain Carter finally couldn't sit still any longer.

She quickly spoke up to stop Carol from making the situation worse.

"Both of you calm down and let's talk this out. I have no prejudice against Mr. Harvey and Ms. Jean. Let's all stop here..."

Unfortunately, Captain Carter's voice was too soft, or rather, Carroll pretended not to hear him.

She is now single-mindedly focused on taking down Harvey and Qin, and interrogating them thoroughly to see if they have ulterior motives.

In Carol's eyes, she could easily take down the two suspicious individuals if she took action, so there was no need to waste time discussing it.

Carroll then rose from the conference table and rushed toward Harvey in a few quick steps.

She had already planned to knock this guy unconscious with a few punches and kicks, then tie up Qin next to him and lock her in the interrogation room for questioning.

If they are indeed good people, then you can simply apologize to them.

Carol's thinking was naive; she believed she had done nothing wrong and genuinely had no intention of being ruthless.

She just wanted to teach Harvey, that arrogant guy, a lesson. Before confirming Harvey's identity, she wouldn't kill him indiscriminately.

However, Harvey isn't her father, and it's God's responsibility to forgive others' mistakes.

Harvey won't tolerate her.

He took a decisive step forward and unleashed multiple spells.
