I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 119 World Sensation

"asshole!"

The black phoenix seemed to be burning with flames in her dark eyes as she forcefully activated her phoenix power to suppress the strange movements deep within her soul.

She realized one thing: she had overestimated her current situation.

Like the rest of the group, he had just awakened and was far from reaching the peak of his power.

In such unstable times, fighting to the death against an opponent with unpredictable and elusive abilities is extremely risky.

"It seems our battle will have to wait until next time."

Black Phoenix's voice carried a hint of resentment, but more so a calm acceptance of the situation. In the end, she chose to compromise.

To make her another personality, especially sharing a body with this strange man in front of her?

The thought filled her with utter disgust and resistance.

"But before that!"

Her voice suddenly turned sharp, and the huge phoenix phantom behind her abruptly dissipated, transforming into countless golden-red torrents of destructive energy, like a bursting dam, rushing in all directions.

The target was none other than the faint outline of New York City in the distance!

"Oh?"

The fifth personality of the group instantly sharpened his gaze to a knife, easily seeing through the Black Phoenix's malicious intentions.

However, he had no intention of becoming a savior.

What did the survival of the world have to do with him? He just wanted to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.

"exile!"

He let out a low shout and unhesitatingly mobilized the last of his strength.

Behind him, the void was forcibly torn open, and a spatial tunnel flashing with chaotic starlight suddenly formed.

He didn't care where the other end of the passage led; as long as it was far enough away from this crazy woman, that was enough.

Black Phoenix was also unwilling to get entangled with the large group any longer.

In her eyes, the other party's physique, capable of accommodating a thousand different faces, and its ability to distort reality, were simply the most dangerous trap in the world.

If I'm not careful, my proud dark phoenix might become a prisoner in the other's mind, and my power might become subservient to them.

This is an ending that the proud and arrogant Black Phoenix absolutely cannot accept.

Both men harbored their own ulterior motives and were eager to escape the battlefield.

The black phoenix's phoenix power surged to its limit, the intense heat even burning an irregular hole in the space itself—a passage to the unknown.

She was greatly exhausted from this battle, and after her departure, she will be in a period of slumber.

The good news is that her consciousness has fully awakened, and the next time she fights for control of the body with Jean Grey's main personality, her advantage will be incomparable.

As they each carved out their own passages to prepare for their evacuation, the out-of-control Phoenix Force continued its rampage.

Centered on Xavier Manor, everything within a radius of tens of kilometers was completely obliterated by the power of annihilation, turning into a bottomless, giant, charred crater.

The Sentinel robot legion and the military forces that were unable to evacuate suffered heavy losses, almost being wiped out.

John Sublime's meticulously modified mutant superhuman force didn't even reach the edge of the battlefield before being reduced to cosmic dust in the aftershocks of the spreading Phoenix Force.

Despite months of meticulous preparation and the investment of countless resources in Sentinel robots and mutant suppressants, more than two-thirds of them were lost in this battle.

Preliminary estimates suggest that the direct economic losses visible to the naked eye alone amount to nearly $100 billion.

And this is merely the damage caused by the aftermath of the battle between the group of five personalities and the Dark Phoenix.

If it weren't for the Zodiac Array that Ye Feng had set up earlier, which invisibly reinforced Earth's spatial structure, and the fact that both sides were in a weakened state of initial awakening and their combat power had not yet recovered to its peak, then...

The consequences of that battle would be far greater than they are now.

"Buzz!"

Two spatial gates of vastly different natures devoured the figures of the swarm and the black phoenix respectively, then quickly closed and disappeared.

One second it was filled with energy storms, like a battlefield in the apocalypse, and the next second it suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

The devastating energy surge receded like a tide, and the sky returned to its original color.

If it weren't for the enormous crater on the ground, tens of kilometers in diameter and hundreds of meters deep, that would be impossible to ignore.

Everyone would probably think they had a nightmare.

"It's over—everything is over—"

Inside the office of the highest authority in the United States, a group of high-ranking officials looked ashen-faced as they watched the high-definition images transmitted back by satellite.

They knew that after this battle, the government's prestige would suffer a devastating blow.

The power of mutants, especially Omega-level mutants, has been branded into the minds of people around the world and can no longer be concealed.

No matter how much the Sentinel robots and mutant suppressants were touted as being incredibly powerful, it doesn't change the fact that they are utterly vulnerable in the face of truly elite mutants.

"Everyone————"

"Prepare to activate the highest level of crisis response plan—a political and trust storm that will sweep the globe is coming."

The president's voice was hoarse and tired, filled with a sense of powerlessness.

Although Xavier Estate is located in the suburbs of New York, it is not far from the bustling New York metropolitan area.

The aftermath of the battle between Black Phoenix and the Legion still affected nearly one-fifth of the buildings in New York City.

Countless buildings were annihilated under the influence of the Phoenix Force.

Fortunately, the military had evacuated most civilians in advance under the pretext of conducting an extreme terrorist attack exercise, thus averting an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.

The casualties were kept at a relatively low level, which is perhaps one of the few things that can give the government a sliver of relief, preserving a last chance to salvage its prestige.

A day later, the world was in an uproar.

This divine battle that took place near New York cannot be concealed.

The giant crater, tens of kilometers in diameter, went viral on the global internet through satellite images. Experts calculated that its depth reached a staggering nearly 100 meters.

Even a large meteorite impact might not create such regular and deep damage marks on the Earth's surface.

The world was in an uproar over this.

Just a few months ago, the United States was in high spirits, launching a series of Sentinel robots, mutant suppressants, and new superhuman forces, seemingly poised to lead the global trend of supernatural power development.

But in the blink of an eye, reality slapped him hard in the face.

Each country has its own intelligence network, and when the intelligence agencies submitted their estimated reports on the losses suffered by the United States, the heads of various countries' leaders twitched.

Few countries in the world could afford such economic losses and military setbacks.

Sanctuary, Ye Feng's office.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest intelligence summary that has just been sent back from the United States."

Clarice knocked on the door and placed a thick file on Ye Feng's desk.

The permanent spatial passage between the Tarot and the Sanctuary has been successfully completed, but the various facilities inside are still under construction and it will take some time before they can be fully occupied.

Therefore, Ye Feng's main office location is still in the Holy Domain.

He took the document and quickly and carefully flipped through it, a rare hint of surprise appearing on his usually calm face.

"Oh? The loss was that big?"

"This amount is enough to cripple even the wealthy United States."

He tapped the numbers on the table lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. This is a relatively accurate figure obtained after cross-verification by intelligence agencies from various countries."

Clarice confirmed, then a look of confusion appeared on her face.

"Your Majesty, intelligence indicates that the cause of all this is two Omega-level mutants—can Omega-level mutants really be this powerful?"

She herself is a mutant and has personally witnessed Magneto Erik and Professor X Charles in action. She considers those two to be the top powerhouses in her knowledge.

However, this cannot be equated with the terrifying power that can reshape the landscape and annihilate areas spanning thousands of kilometers with a wave of the hand.

Not to mention that the Earth today was strengthened by Ye Feng using the Zodiac Array.

"Very strong, stronger than you can imagine."

"If they are Omega-level mutants who have fully awakened their powers, even I am not confident of victory against them now."

Ye Feng put down the documents, his gaze becoming somewhat profound.

Clarice felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.

She knew Ye Feng's current strength well; even he gave such an evaluation, which showed just how powerful he was at the Omega level.

"I never imagined that such godlike individuals would be hidden among the mutant population—but why have we never heard of their existence for decades?"

Clarice voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.

"Because the true era of evolution has only just begun."

"The power of the Creator, contained deep within the human genome, has matured after countless years of sedimentation and evolution."

"The power bestowed by the Creator is gradually unveiling its mystery."

"Omega-level mutants like these may emerge more and more frequently, and clashes between them may become commonplace."

Ye Feng walked to the window and looked into the distance, as if gazing at some invisible torrent.

He paused, his tone tinged with seriousness: "This is one of the main reasons why I went to great lengths to set up the zodiac array that covers the entire globe."

"We must prepare a relatively stable stage for this coming era."

"I understand, Your Majesty."

Clarice nodded thoughtfully, taking those words to heart.

"The intelligence also mentioned that the operation by the United States was a complete failure, and most of the mutants at Xavier's Manor successfully escaped."

"Do we need to proactively reach out to and recruit them?"

She then proceeded to report another important piece of information.

"You can try contacting them."

"Xavier Academy trains many mutants who are valuable for further development, both in terms of their mentality and abilities."

"Among them, perhaps some can become candidates for Saint Seiya, which would at least greatly supplement the current core fighting force of Sanctuary."

Ye Feng turned around and said with certainty.

"Understood. I will immediately arrange for the Sanctuary Foundation's peripheral personnel to contact those scattered mutants."

Clarisse accepted the order.

In fact, today, the Sanctuary has received numerous tentative requests for allegiance from mutants around the world.

The battle outside New York City was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, completely changing the perceptions of many mutants about themselves and the world order.

Some astute individuals have begun to urgently seek new refuge, and some have even turned their attention to the two sides that are at war like gods!
